I dunno, are you guys forgetting that Ridley's been all but confirmed as a stage hazard/background set piece for the Metroid stage, what with Sakurai's "a familiar foe will appear" comment and the fact that this is where you fight Ridley in Other M. Samus and ZSS are practically two character slots (especially considering ZSS actually works as a standalone character and isn't just punishment for using her Final Smash...) so I feel like that's enough? Like, Dark Samus isn't even relevant to Other M, which is what they seem to be pulling everything from this time around.
And maaan, as much as I'd love F-Zero to get more attention (like, what if they pulled a Roy and put in an F-Zero character to hype a new F-Zero game, aaaa), it really doesn't feel like it's gonna happen? Like the best I can think of is like, Black Shadow taking Ganondorf's moveset and Ganondorf getting his own (actually, do this, Sakurai), or Samurai Goroh becoming un-assist trophy'd, but like... eh. F-Zero has almost the exact opposite problem that Metroid has: it has too many characters and none of them matter enough to the series. None of the 58 total racers in the series really stick out any more than the others (other than the ones I mentioned and maybe Pico and Dr. Stewart since they were in the original)
Oh and as much as it pains me to continue saying it, the rest of Nintendo seems to hate Mother so lol, low chances all around for that, especially considering we only have one of the three games here and Sakurai likes making sure that the American audience isn't alienated and whatnot by not putting in Japan-exclusives.
Heh, sorry if this is overly negative, I started with that comment on Ridley (because I was confused why people were still making that suggestion) and kind of just went from there... Maybe I'll post with some ideas or something later, I dunno. Anyway, Rosalina is exciting because it looks like they're coming up with really clever ideas for characters now.
