Really, the only character that would require more than flipping are Link (and his clones...), Samus, Marth, Ike, Megaman, and maybe Captain Falcon.
More than that. Pit (bow), Metaknight (sword), Ice Climbers (hammers), Bowser Jr (Paintbrush, but thats only if we decide on him using it), ZSS (gun/whip), Krystal (if she uses her staff), Masked Man (sword), Roy (sword), the other FE rep (unless its a magic user), and maybe the other Konami rep and the other 3rd party, depending on who they are. And that's not counting people who use one-handed items for attacks, like the StarFox characters' blasters.
Maybe the blaster or ZSS wouldn't require to be different, but a lot of people use one-handed items. Maybe the turn animation could be used to show the character switching the hand they hold their weapon in, but that doesn't work for everyone.
