Star Man is from the video Pro Wrestling for the NES. Programmed and designed by Masato Masuda, it features 7 original pro wrestlers (who were influenced by real life wrestlers) and they wrestle for the V.W.A. Championship. After winning it, the wrestler defends the title, until fighting Great Puma for the V.W.F. title. By winning, the player become the interpromotional V.W.A./V.W.F. champion (NWA/WWF, clever huh?). It ranked 172nd in Nintendo Power's greatest Nintendo games. Pro Wrestling's poor translation also resulted in an internet meme (hint, it's in the title of the thread). So if you've used this, you have contributed to the legacy of this game.
Star Man hails from Mexico (maybe?). Standing at 6'3" and weighing in at 220 pounds. His signature moves are Somersault Kick and Flying Cross Chop. He comes from the tradition of lucha libre. His mask is more than just a mask. It is his face and his identity.
Playstyle and Moveset:
Ground Speed 6/10: Star Man has the above average speed.
Air Speed 7/10: Star Man excels in the air and moves rather well.
Size 7/10: Star Man is about the height of Captain Falcon
Weight 6/10: Star Man has the weight of a cruiser weight (about Mario weight)
Fall Speed 6/10: Star Man falls at a little faster than normal speed.
Jump Height 6/10: Star Man has above average jump
Traction 8/10: As a pro wrestler, Star Man has great traction.
Star Man is a semi grappler due to his grappling ability and speed. He hails from Mexico, but uses a mixture of strong Japanese style and a little bit high flying from Mexico. Due to his height, he isn't as much of a high flyer as luchador. Star Man was originally patterned after Mil Mascaras, so naturally much of his patterning comes from Mascaras' spiritual successor, his nephew Alberto Del Rio. But most of the moves were taken from the game anyway.

Final Smash:
Cross Chop of the Century!
Based of the Kinnikuman finisher: Muscle Millennium. Star Man starts off by doing a standard signature somersault kick. anyone hit by this move is about to be instant KO'd. If it misses, the move does not proceed. After which, the players find themselves inside a wrestling ring (even if they are at the Ring stage) much like Captain Falcon. Star Man jumps on to the ropes and uses them as sling shot. He flies toward the opponent and hits the with a cross chop. Then they immediately go back to the normal stage and fly off into oblivion. Muscle Millennium from KG

Arguments:
Star Man could be added as a retro and surprise character. His style is unlike anything currently in the game. He and the Amazon are the most well known and liked from the game. Star Man is a fan-favorite from the game, while Amazon is probably the heel, also increasing Star Man's chances over his other wrestlers. The game itself sold well, according to vgchartz, it has sold 2.4 million copies world wide. It's a well received classic game. It's final boss is known as one of the hardest in video game history. Here are a few arguments against Star Man and his fellow wrestlers. Unlike most nintendo NES games, this game hasn't been rereleased for the virtual console. The game was developed by Nintendo and Try Company, Ltd, while being published by Nintendo making it more of a second party release. The characters themselves have rarely appeared over the years. However, the Amazon did make a cameo in WarioWare: Twisted!, so Nintendo probably owns the characters. The series has yet to receive any trophies or stickers to my knowledge in Smash, which is probably the greatest mark against a possible character from the series. He also happens to share his name with the similarly named Starman. There are three other Starman who made it into Smash as stickers from three different series (Mario, Kirby, Mother/Earthbound).
