Snake: because he was already in Brawl, was a Top Tier Character, and even though we haven't seen a Metal Gear title on a Nintendo console for quite a while, Kojima gave Sakurai complete freedom to put Snake in SSB4, as said in an interview. Also, data for Snake has been found in SSB4 through hacking.

Lucas: there was absolutely no reason to remove him. He wasn't even that much of a clone of Ness, since ALL of Lucas' animations were COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from Ness', even for their Special Attacks. Also, data for Lucas has been found in SSB4 through hacking.

Wolf: same reason as Lucas, he is completely different from Fox and Falco. Falco is much more of a clone of Fox than Wolf ever was. It is sad not having a Star Fox villain in Smash Bros. anymore. Also, data for Wolf has been found in SSB4 through hacking.

Ice Climbers: though I really don't care if they're in the game or not, would be nice to see them back. Also, data for the Ice Climbers has been found in SSB4 through hacking.

Dixie Kong: she was supposed to be in Brawl, as data for her has been found through hacking. Would be awesome to have another DK character. She could be a very unique combination of Diddy and Peach, being able to hover with her hair and whack the shit out everyone with hair blows.

King K. Rool: because we need more villains in Smash. He could be a very unique character similar to King Dedede. His incarnations from the Donkey Kong Country games could give him a very interesting move set, such as his Crown Throw from DKC1, cannon-ball shotgun from DKC2 and electrical tesla generators from DKC3.

Black Shadow: because Captain Falcon is the sole character representing his franchise. In Black Shadow's case, they could just transfer Ganondorf's current moveset to him, so they could give Ganon a true moveset that could finally involve him using his GODAMN SWORD and DARK MAGIC.

Any Villain from Metroid that is not Kraid or Ridley: people wanna Ridley so bad in Smash, but I think would be a fatal error. Ridley is a gargantuan character, and Nintendo would have to reduce him to the size of Bowser or DK in order to make him balanced. That would diminish his character very much, in my opinion. Some of the Hunters from Metroid Prime Hunters would be a better choice for characters. Though I don't want another clone-character, maybe even Dark Samus as a playable character could be interesting. Would be Samus with tentacles and shit.

Chrom: Sakurai said in an interview he didn't include Chrom because would end up being a clone of Ike, but he included motherfucker Lucina which is a complete clone of Marth. I highly doubt Chrom would be a clone, he could have a moveset that balances Marth's speed with Ike's power, the mid-term between the two - not so strong, no so fast.

Isaac: Golden Sun is a great game, and Isaac was a neat Assist Trophy in Brawl. His moveset could involve him slapping the fuck out of people with his giant energy hand.

Crono: why not add a third-party from Square? People always ask for Goku, and Crono's character concept was made by Toriyama. He could be something of a magic swordsman like Robin, and his Final Smash be his X Slash with Frog or some other similar thing.
