Meganium from Pokémon.
I think he (she?) would work as a replacement for Ivysaur, and a way to represent the second generation better than Pichu.

Donny MOVESET EDIT!
DSpecial - switches between swords (faster with less damage/knockback) axes (slower with more damage/knockback) and lances (standard, starter weapon)
Standard Special - holds his weapon skyward to charge an attack. Only this attack will use the weapon the attack is charged to, other attacks will use bronze weapon (charge/release similar to :4robinf:'s Thunder). Bronze > Iron > Steel > Silver > Brave (Charge order) Brave has the same power as silver but hits twice.
Side Special - similar to :4myfriends: where he dashes forward w/ his weapon.
USpecial - Hits once upward w/ weapon, leaps up and hits again. (:4shulk:) Weapon can grab ledges as a psuedo-tether recovery.
Validar
Cooking Mama

Definitely Issac from Golden Sun. Psyenergy could make him a close range Robin, and that'd be just rad.

Poliwhirl and Heracross because they're probably my favorite Pokemon.
Anna since she's not necessarily the main protagonist. Hey, neither is Pikachu :p
Kumatora just 'cuz.
Lana :awesome:
Boo because he's my favorite Mario enemy. Just make him King Boo and we're set.

Lip for me. A unique moveset representing a fantastic series! It really is a shame who series has basically been dead now...

Sylux from Metroid Prime Hunters. To a lesser extent Rundas but he's not that obscure.

Been thinking of a moveset for Sylux myself:

Neutral B: Shock Coil, his affinity weapon. Heals the user by a small amount and can be fired for 4 seconds before recharging.

Side B: Imperialist, Trace's affinity weapon. The longer you charge, the longer the shot goes.

Up B: Judicator, Noxus' affinity weapon. Fires a spread of 3 ice blasts upwards. Can bounce off walls if charged for long enough.

Down B: Battlehammer, Weavel's affinity weapon. Fires downwards and is an anti ground tool, with a trajectory like Mii's Flame Pillar.

Final Smash: Omega Cannon: The Alimbic Nuke weapon used to defeat Gorea, which has a large blast radius and is fired to the center of the stage. Nothing survives it.
or
Delano 7: Sylux's ship, summoned to assist Sylux a la Palutena's Army from Brawl.

I'm sure Metroid won't get rep unless they somehow make Ridley playable, but I can dream.

I'd say that any Zelda character who plays a major role in a major game isn't really that obscure. Impa has played major roles in multiple games, major and minor, and several minor roles, too.


An obscure Zelda character would be a character who is really minor and doesn't do much, or is a major character in a lesser-known/less popular title. Ralph is a good example of that.

Impa is a pretty major character in the Zelda series. Skyward Sword made her a lot more popular, but prior to OOT she was mostly a story character in the manuals of the first two games. And an old woman. Impa's young and agile version is more popular, but hasn't appeared as often.

I was going to say Takamaru or Dillon but.. There assist trophy for now.
Lip would be suprised to see, But I really want to see Mike Jones and Sukapon, to me are the best to go, Is we talk about Retro Famicon.

But I want the MOST is Custom Robo RAY MK (ANY MODEL.) is the best when I think up.
Is becoming kinda obscure but I never forget this badass shooting Robo.

If a new KI game comes out between now and the next Smash and Medusa is a major antagonist, I think she'd have a good chance. But if she's ignored all-together, yeah, she's probably not happening.

While Ray MK III is not entirely obscure because of his gained popularity from his appearance as an assist trophy, I still want to include it here because I want it in as a playable character so badly; I was a fan of Custom Robo and its moves (as well as as its alt. moves) are practically on a silver platter. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I it is not an assist trophy this time around. This gives me some home that it will arrive as playable DLC, but the fact that I have not seen anything Custom Robo-related worries me.

Another character that I want is Deathborn. I get sick of people asking for Black Shadow for two reasons: he is not even the main villain of F-Zero and his character design is atrocious. Deathborn, on the other hand, is the main villain, more powerful, and even has a cool design. I made this moveset for him a while back:
B: Some sort of fireball that moves very slowly. When in the air, you can aim down to deal damage from above. On the ground, you can aim down for a rocket jump effect (his normal jump is low). Acts like a large, moving PK Fire.
Side B: Like Ganons side B, but instead he throws his opponent behind him rather than taking them down with him.
Up B: Portal teleport where Deathborn freezes in the air and a controllable projectile is launched. It would like a little bit like PK Thunder. But, instead of having to hit yourself with it, it acts as a portal. When the projectile stops, Deathborn will enter a portal where he was and exits through a portal that was placed by the projectile. If the opponent is touching you while you enter, they will join you.
Down B: Falcon kick straight down. Short range. Spike. (More powerful version of Greninja's dair where you jump off their head?) Multiple can be done in the air if you are high enough. On the ground, its like a weak Falcon punch but a kick.
Final Smash: Outer Limits. Like Marths with a shorter range. People hit by him are teleported to deathborn's hell.

I imagine him to be moderately slow with a low jump. He should get the knee too.

Ninten from Mother 1. That is the only Mother game that doesn't have a playable character from. And before anyone says anything, yes they can differentiate him from Ness. Though I would rather have Lucas, I'd really like Ninten too.
You've got my support, buddy. :)

Mawile from Pokemon

Neutral B:Crunch- similar to Wario's Chomp
Side B: Flash Cannon
Down B: Swords Dance- powers up all of its attacks similar to WFT's Deep Breathing
Up B: Magnet Rise
Final Smash: Mega Mawile

Also, it would walk backwards so the huge jaws on the back of its head face where it's headed.

Zant from Twilight Princess. I love him and the dual Scimitars would make a amazing Moveset.

The survivor from ZombiU! Just think about it for a second.

- Wii U exclusive game
- 10th best selling game on Wii U according to VGChartz
- Third party character who could have a really unique moveset
- Could even adopt some of Snakes moves if he won't return as DLC
- Would have both a male and female alt, so would be another female character in game

The neutral attacks and smashes would all involve the cricket bat.
- Neutral B would be scanning the area with your prepper pad, which could leave you vulnerable for a few seconds but give you a slight power boost afterwards.
- Side B could involve firing a crossbow.
- Down B could steal one of Snakes moves and plant a mine or some C4.
- Up B could just be something along the lines of "Escape Jump", or something that wouldn't do much damage, but would be great for recovering.

The Final Smash could have Sondra from the Ravens of Dee fly around off screen in a helicopter, sniping random opponents (Sort of like Snakes final smash from Brawl, only you wouldn't be in control of it). A red line would trace the person she would be aiming for, giving them enough time to escape or block the attack.

Taunts could include cowering in fear, reloading any of the various guns found in game, and rummaging through your backpack.

The most obscure character i would like in would be Maxwell from Super ... Awesome nah?

If you never played Super Scribblenauts,he can spawn any word with any adjectives! The more the attack is charged,the more powerful adjectives it gets... AND IMAGINE THAT CUSTOM MOVES!!! *0*

I have a big list!
Some of them aren't even that obscure, but they're becoming more and more obscure due to lack of appearing.

-Adeleine from Kirby 64 (Actually my most wanted character)
-Cpt. Syrup from Warioland
-(if it count as obscure, since nowadays Ganondorf is the popular one) classic Ganon the blue pig
-Tatanga (will never happen but one can dream)
-Geno and maybe Mallow too (same as above)
-Karate Joe from Rhythm Heaven(he was obscure before, he became popular for a while but now returned being obscure I think)
-Jill & Drill Dozer (come on, she was perfect for Smash! Bowser Jr. has a very similar set of moves that could have fit this character)
-Lip from Panel de Pon (she is missing from too many Smash games now)
-Ice Climbers (I hope they will come back in the next Smash, since the problem was just the 3DS's hardware)
-Vaati from Zelda Minish Cap (I assume that he's too minor, like Ghirahim he has a role in only one game, excluding 4 sword where he is just a black ball with an eye similar to a Dark Matter)
-Dark Matter swordman from Kirby's Dreamland 2(I know that there are several problems with this character, but like the koopa clown kart, they forced it on land so they can do it with Dark Matter as well)
-Kirby's animal friends, the original 3 ones (this would be hard to implement, I don't even know if it's possible, but I would like it).
-Daroach from Kirby Squeak Squad (very cool character with much moveset potential - technically he is able to fly, but he is more like Rosalina and Mewtwo, he would be fine simply floating near the ground)

I would say Shantae if I had to take the games' innate limits into account. She would play slightly differently from everyone else, and change moves by dancing (Neutral B), meaning no custom moves for her. But instead, I'll go way into left field.

Yes, this chick. She'd basically be the new :pt: and command one of three Pokémon from the sidelines: Starmie, Carracosta, and Greninja, in that order. Unlike :pt:, though, Misty would only use Down-Taunt to switch instead of Down-B, just so that Greninja could have his/her/its good 'ol :substitute:. Starmie would generate its limbs with psychic energy should it need to punch or kick, and otherwise use various elemental attacks plus Rapid Spin. Carracosta would chuck rocks II: SON OF CHUCK, nom, spin in its shell, and kick to attack. Final Smash? I'd say whatever Poke Misty has out uses Surf, she gathers up all three along with Togekiss, Lapras, and Ludicolo, and then the Water-types and Fairy-type all launch a jacked-up Hydro Cannon.
And that's the general gist of my future SSB5 character wish, right?:love:

Oh boy where to start?

- Scizor from Pokemon.

- Giegue from mother.

- Aryan Ryan from Punch out.

- James Bond from the James Bond franchise (He might as well be a 3rd party considering his history with Nintendo)

I'm not a Pokèmon fan, but after Melee, I started liking that pokèmon, and I admit that I wouldn't mind a playable Scizor, especially since he has a megaevolution now.
Even before, in the first gen, I always thought that Scyther and Kabutops (who are similar) were cool (maybe I just like praying mantises lol).

Lloyd Irving from Tales of Symphonia, a namco game that was on gamecube, got a sequel on wii, has also appeared in crossover games on the GBA.
The only thing standing in his way is PacMan. "BUT PUCKMAWN IZ MOAR ICONIC!!1!1!!1!" I'd rather have Lloyd's movset pulled straight from Tales of Symphonia into Smash than have PacMan's current boring moveset(the only move PacMan has that I like to mess around with is the Fire Hydrant of Doom lol)

Not clear or plain; ambiguous, vague, or uncertain
Main reason I don't see them making it is because Chrom is already in as a Final Smash (and if you read the Palutena's guidance for Robin...), and Zero because he is 3rd party, and less known than MegaMan.
It doesn't matter whether you see a character making it in or not. That has nothing to do with a character being "obscure." Chrom and Zero aren't obscure, period.

Take it easy, seriously. I was replying to the first sentence in the OP:
This thread is for those characters that you really want in, but you know don't have a chance.
The one other thing you haven't addressed is who the characters are obscure to? If I walked up to a random person on the street and showed them a picture of Chrom, Zero, or Mario, which one are they most likely to recognize? 9/10 would recognize Mario, less than 1/10 would recognize the others. By this definition, Chrom and Zero are obscure. There is no need to go after someone just because you aren't seeing things from the same point of view that they are, and if you disagree, keep it to yourself. Its supposed to be a subjective thread anyways.

It would be nice to see Goku from the Yūyūki series.

His series is one of the few Nintendo owned series that has never been acknowledged by Smash in any way.It didn't even get mentioned in Super Smash Bros Brawl's Chronicle yet Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem and Geist gets that honor. What the hell Nintendo? :c
I also would like to see Harry from the Video Game Teleroboxer (Virtual Boy 1995).

Unlike Yūyūki the Chronicle mentioned his series.
Lastly, I would also like to see John Raimi from the Video Game Geist (Gamecube 2005).

Of all of the games Nintendo has published, none hold the torch of obscurity quite as well as Geist. Receiving lukewarm reviews and very modest sales figures, this game flew completely under the radar. I think they could make up a very awesome move-set for him that would be very unique compared to some of the other characters.
I would also mention Pious Augustus but he isn't as obscure when compared to the aforementioned characters.
