I'd prefer Nintendo dig up some more obscure series from the Famicom/SFC eras for characters, or stuff that is so completely off-the-wall and plays so differently than you're accustomed to that you would never expect (G&W in Melee, for instance)
Mike Jones would have been the perfect new character for Brawl. He has a number of things to use as a moveset, it is a forgotten Nintendo series that had an amazing first game and a mediocer second game, and the series is due for a revival on the DS or Wii and this would be a great way to kick it off.
The only major problem was that StarTropics wasnt released in other areas and that includes Japan, so Sakurai might not even know of the game.
Outside of Mike Jones, I think the other character that would have been perfect as a playable character would have been Little Mac. It is a shame he was stuck as an AT, but atleast it is a fully modeled cool looking version of the original and not a abortion like the EA rendition.
The only character request I cant really understand is Ridley. I dont know if its because people want more Metroid characters, but Ridley would have been a lame playable character and hopefully he will be a boss or something. The Metroid game have always been about solitude and having Samus on her own in the game is perfect (now they even her her without her suit, so it is almost two characters, but not really).
