Okay I know it is waaaay too early to even think about a sequel, seeing as the game just has come out on the Wii U version in the US (gosh I wish that it would just be a worldwide release). But I already went ahead and thought of a roster that could be possible for a next version.



New characters
There is a total of 20 new characters in this roster. I added quite a few new characters. Let me explain them from left to right, top to bottom.
 * Toad: Okay so we have Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Bowser Jr. and Rosalina. Who is missing here? Right, Toad. Toad has been a playable character for a very long time already, so I think he deserves a spot on the roster. With him we would have covered all the main characters of the Mario series. The reason I choose Blue Toad is not only because Peach hold a regular Toad, but also because the Blue Toad was playable in Super Mario Bros. 2. The reason why I didn't choose Captain Toad? Well, because I think he would work better as his Final Smash. Being able to smash people away with its pickaxe. Of course Toadette is the alternate costume of Toad.
 * King K. Rool: what is this game missing? Not females anymore, that's for sure. But we do need more villains. King K. Rool is one of the most well-known villains around. The problem is that he hasn't appeared for quite a while. But I think between now and the next smash he probably has returned as a main antagonist again. Why I didn't choose Dixie Kong? She is cool and all, but I think 2 Kongs is enough. I want to have some variety with the DK characters, plus K. Rool is a villain.
 * Impa: out of all the Zelda characters I chose her. Why? Impa has been there since the beginning, she always has played a major role in the games she had appeared in, but today she gets even more attention. And Hyrule Warriors makes it able to give her a good moveset which would differ very much from Sheik. Plus it would just be unfair to put in Skull Kid/Midna/Ghirahim because they played a major role in 1 game only.
 * Ridley: okay I'm not going to say much about him. But I think we need more Metroid reps, and not another Samus or one of the other bounty hunters (as it wouldn't be fair to the others). Chozo would be my other choice for a Metroid rep. But Ridley, once again, is a villain. And we need villains in this game.
 * Medusa: another villain, and a female one! She could be the opposite of Palutena, using only dark magic with many negative effects. Medusa has appeared in all the Kid Icarus games and she deserves to be in here.
 * A new Fire Emblem rep: as much as I love Lucina being in the game, I think she will be the one being replaced when a new Fire Emblem game comes out. Maybe the main protagonist won't be a Knight but something more different.
 * Bandana Dee: he is put in because he as been playable in a few games already. He could use his spear and the parasol in his moveset. And we all know that Sakurai doesn't want to give his games priorities (although he does with Kid Icarus) but more Kirby is a must have.
 * Takamaru: I never speculated him to be in Sm4sh, but I really think he has a good chance of being in the next game. We do have a lot of sword wielders, but no one who uses a katana. Takamaru could be a quick character with even some projectile moves. And he's another classic throwback character, of which we need at least one.
 * Krystal: another sensitive subject. Krystal is a cool character in the Star Fox universe. She being the only one who has potential for a moveset that doesn't revolve around space equipment. And despite there being a few furry lovers for her, doesn't mean she can't be in the game. The only thing I would have against her is that she would be the 4th Star Fox character which might seem a bit too much for that franchise.
 * Isaac: yeah... this one is still really mysterious. Where is the Isaac assist trophy in Sm4sh? I really think he is going to be the second DLC character but that is all the more reason why he should be in the next game. He uses Psynergy, a special type of magic that would make him a very unique fighter. But you still can use his sword in battle. And no, he wouldn't be another Robin as the two have a completely different way of fighting. And c'mon Golden Sun has 3 games, all of which he appears in. And the last one was a 2010 game, so kinda relevant.
 * Captain N: yes! My obscure character. Captain N is a character from a cartoon series from Nintendo. He could use various classic, but maybe also some new, Nintendo accessories. He obviously would use the Zapper and the NES controller. He also has many ties to characters in the game like Pit, Mega Man and Donkey Kong. And maybe GameBoy could be part of his moveset too. So he is really the odd character for the next game like Wii Fit Trainer, R.O.B. and Mr. Game & Watch were in the previous versions.
 * Starfy: a favorite of mine. Starfy has many games, though mostly in Japan. But I played the one also available for the DS. And imo he deserves to be in this game. His whole moveset could revolve around spinning, it maybe would make all of his moves looks similar but that is the best thing about him. You'll never know (as opponent) which move is coming.
 * Sceptile: we have Charizard and Greninja, a fire starter and a water starter. What is missing here? A grass starter. And although it wouldn't really be relevant anymore by the time smash 5 comes out, Sceptile still would make a good character. Hoenn was one of the best generations and the ORAS remake will be a game people will play for a very long time.
 * A new Pokémon character: I expect that by the time smash 5 is announced that there at least be one new generation of Pokémon. So this spot goes for that Pokémon.
 * Sami: who is Sami? She's a character from Advance Wars, the game where the Infantry and Tanks assist trophy comes from. Sami is just one of the many characters in the game. The reason why I put her in is to fill up the empty spot Snake left behind. I liked Snake's moveset but not the character himself. So I think giving Sami a similar moveset to Snake would be a very good resolve for this. Plus the Advance Wars series have quite a few games, so it actually is a must-have.
 * Chibi-Robo: a forgotten character in the Nintendo history. But I think he would do great in this game. He kinda would be a little like Olimar. Who before Brawl was kinda in the same situation as Chibi-Robo. I think to make Chibi-Robo unique is to let his moveset be based around recharging. The fuller he is charged the more powerful he is. But recharging makes him awfully vulnerable.
 * Shovel Knight: apparently many people were very hyped by Shovel Knight. It is an indie game and second party. But I think putting him in smash wouldn't be a bad choice. His main moveset would consist out of him smashing with his shovel. But I think summoning other Knights in his moveset would a really cool. And he really is a wacky character to put in.
 * Inkling: comes in both male and female version. Splatoon is a game where everybody is hyped for! It is the first FPS of Nintendo that has this great success before even being released. The gameplay of the game is very good and could be perfectly be incorporated into Inkling's smash moveset.
 * an empty spot for a new game character: along the way from 4 to 5 there probably will be another new Nintendo game with good success, this place is reserved for that character.
 * Black Mage: the only new third party character I added. Why Black Mage? Well, Square Enix and Nintendo are very close. They have made various crossover games between Final Fantasy and Mario or Dragon Quest and Mario. Black Mage has a very own special Nintendo design which he could appear in. He would have a very unique moveset compared to other magic users. Sora from the Kingdom Hearts series would be awesome too, but I don't think Kingdom Hearts is really a Nintendo franchise whereas the classic Final Fantasy games only have been on Nintendo consoles. Black Mage is a must have.

Returning & Cut Characters
Many of the characters return once again for obvious reasons. I decided to keep Dr. Mario and Toon Link while I wanted to cut Lucina and Dark Pit. They both... well actually Lucina is a very cool character. But if a new Fire Emblem game comes out she is the one that needs to go as Robin is too unique to be cut. Dark Pit just needs to go away, okay you're good playing with him, but there is no reason for him to be in a Nintendo All-Stars game.

I also returned Ice Climbers, Lucas and Wolf who had been cut from Brawl. I ain't gonna explain why I returned the Ice Climbers, you know why. I was surprised Lucas was cut. He had a whole different moveset than Ness and seeing Mother's fanbase deserves a spot. I think replacing some of his special moves would be for the better in the sequel though. I also returned Wolf because we need more villains. I wanted him to be cut in sm4sh but feel guilty for thinking so. He has a whole different melee moveset and his special moves also differ much from the other two. Although some new special moves would be welcome... as well as a new Final Smash.

DLC
Character I think might appear as DLC in Sm4sh aside from Mewtwo:
 * Ice Climbers (Wii U exclusive)/Popo (3DS exclusive)
 * Isaac
 * Inkling
