Discuss characters that you think should be brought back/characters you think should stay ONLY. New character suggestions and ideas have their own thread already.

Diddy Kong a Wolf should be given the boot. The rest of the Brawl cast should stay, and I'd like to see Roy back, too. There are plenty of other characters that I don't like and want to see kicked, but I know that others like them (i.e. Kazam likes Olimar, I still can't beat a level 3 with him...)

Pikachu should stay. ALWAYS.

SONIC NEEDS TO STAY. Nintendo knows he was most wanted for brawl. They held a poll in Japan to see who should be in brawl, With Sonic, Megaman, and a few others on it. Sonic won. HARD. Super Pichu, Mewtwo, Dr.Mario, and Roy should come back.

I believe Dr.Mario, roy, and pichu shouldn't get there own character slot. It would be interesting though for them to be usable by cycling through Mario's, marths, and pikachus colors to get them instead.

I think ROB should get the boot. He didn't really revolutionize nintendo, nor was he important to nintendos history. His game kinda sucked too. :V

RED should be ditched for either mewtwo, or whatever pokemon character is added to brawl, otherwise we'll have to many pokemon characters.

Lucario MUST STAY. I don't think I'll even touch the cover of the next SSB game if Lucario's given the boot.

Anyways, it'd be cool for Roy and Pichu to be brought back. Roy's fire sword is epic win (And he's not heavy. ) and I liked how Pichu's own attacks gave it damage. It was more of a challenge to master it. Perhaps get rid of R.O.B/Ike and the Pokemon Trainer to fit these two in.

This is what I accedentally wrote in the second paragraph:
"Anyways, it'd be cool for Roy and Pichu to be given the boot."

I know I'll anger people by saying this but I want to see Lucas get the ax since he's just a slite clone of Ness and was in only one game.

Him and along with Toon Link for obvious reasons.

Everyone else I'd love to see return.

i think all caracters should stay and add more pokemon
