Dixie Kong
Impa
Gengar
Midna, Mipha, or Vaati
We need more Zelda reps
Let's see how it changed:
1. Crash Bandicoot
My all-time favorite character, iconic, legendary. I've waited 20+ years for Mario vs Sonic vs Crash. Ultimate was a missed opportunity.
2. Zelda character
I don't care what character makes it (as long as it's not Tingle...), just give us another Zelda character. Vaati, Midna, Impa, Mipha, etc. Anyone who is iconic enough to be the perfect rep for Smash and the LoZ series has a pool of potential newcomers
3. Takamaru

4. Dixie Kong
Probably the last major female character we need in Smash. Solo or with Kiddy Kong, Dixie deserves her spot in Smash.
