Nice... But not perfect.
Well, I might as well follow the whole colored review thing ...But I'm just commenting. 
Sonic – Sonic is more then deserving of the few precious 3rd party slots. He has was created for the sole purpose of rivaling Mario. Both of them in a game would be a great thing indeed. He has shown many signs of a potential moveset in his previous games, especially in sonic battle and also in his bboying skills which he demonstrates in many games.
Well Im Not so up on the new sonic games; I lost interest after Sonic heroes, but I feel rather indifferent on this choice. I mean It's cool doing the Rumor Fanservice Trick, but honestly It feels overused now: Mortal Kombat did it, Diablo did it, So I'm not up for it.
Mario- Confirmed
No Comment
Luigi – Luigi was in the first super smash brothers and there is no reason why he should not be in brawl. He is a huge character in the Mario series and I think we can all agree he will appear in brawl.
Can't argue with that
Peach – Peach is also a huge character in the Mario series and it would be foolish not to include her.
No kidding, well her downsmash needs two or threee hits instead of five. Plus toad could easily be replaced by toadsworth... but then again...
Toad – A lot of people do not like Toad, I on the other hand love Toad. He is probably my favorite Character in the Mario series (Luigi is up there with him though) and in any game where he is playable, I play as him. I understand the criticisms on how he is “too small” or “would have a lame moveset”. He can be resized and the developers can create a unique moveset, they are not bound to anything. On the Toad discussion thread someone made a very good list of points and counter points and I will post it on here once I find it.
Honestly I would have to agree with Tera's post on Toad, but I would rather see another Fire Emblem Character in place of him: People whine about too many swords (Although I completely agree with them), but not about too many mario characters.
Bowser – It amazes me that some people want Bowser out of the game. He is the signature villian of the Mario series, he will stay. He is one of my favorite characters to play in melee and there are many ways to help him stand his ground against the more prominent fighters (more on that later).
yes, yes, and yes.
Yoshi – He was in the first super smash brothers which is reason enough to be in Brawl. He is another signature character that is as recognizable as Mario himself, and to leave him out would be a horrible decision.
at one point I actually thought he would get the axe... Well guess not.
Zelda – I was convinced by some very good arguements to keep Sheik and Zelda together. Zelda has a lot more potential in Brawl with the upcoming Twilight Princess game. Another character that you can not come up with a possible reason to get rid of.
I have to agree with Tera's Post also, but still she needs to be fixed up.
Link - Confirmed
Do I need to say anything? well at least give him a better taunt
Ganondorf - Ganondorf is the villain of the Legend of Zelda series. Out of all the clones in melee he is the most deserving to move on to brawl. He is a great design and his moveset should be completely revamped (more on that later).
No Kidding. but still I would rather see him use his accursed trident rather than a sword.
Mr. Game and Watch - Ah Mr. Game and Watch, this character by no means should be removed from brawl. He is an absolutely hilarious character and just a historical landmark for Nintendo. He stays.
Good character yes, but... It doesn't feel to me that's he's gonna be in there...
Wario - Confirmed
he's my main in Mario kart. He's awesome, enough said
Ice Climbers - Despite the rumor about Ice Climbers being removed, they absolutely should NOT be removed. They are THE most unique characters in the game. No arguments there, they are a great move on Nintendo's part.
awesome indeed, but rumors aside, King DeDeDe seems too much like he's gonna fight like the ICs. although they are good I say that KD is better than ICs
Dedede – Dedede is a very interesting character, penguins wielding hammers are always appealing. He is the main villain in the Kirby series and smash could use some more villains.
see ice Climbers
Marth - The first lord of the Fire Emblem series. He is an incredibly popular character and getting rid of him would be a foolish Idea.
no kidding, But still they gotta do something about the sweetspot at the tip of his sword; push it down.
Hector - Another Fire Emblem lord but, one key feature makes him stand out from the rest, his axe. There have been many complaints about too many sword wielding characters, well why not have a character with an axe? The axe is a very underused weapon in fighting games which is a real shame, its a great weapon.
yes, yes, yes! We need axes in brawl!
DK - Another character from the first super smash brothers game. He goes way back to when Mario first debuted. A classic Nintendo character.
I agree with Tera, Classics do rule! plus donkey kong is long overdue for a good game; Jungle beat was good but horridly easy in my opinion.
Diddy – Easily the biggest character in the donkey kong universe (second to only DK himself). He has many opportunities to have a great moveset and is a long overdue character.
meh... Honestly I don't really care about him. despite considerable involvement in the mario sports games
Ridley – The trademark villain of the metroid series, a excellent character with a good design. Like Bowser was, Ridley could be resized to fit better on the stage.
Yes, yes, yes, To hell with dark samus, ridley for the win!
Zero Suit Samus – Confirmed, I believe that she will be a separate character from Samus. I do not want to get in the huge arguement over what was posted on the offical smash brothers website, it was vague to say the least. If you look at it when it says "This isn't a pure character addition" and "under certain conditions, Samus will "remove" her Power Suit" that is in the FIRST paragraph. With all the other characters the first paragraph is dedicated to the game they originated from. She is not a pure character addition because it is still Samus. Also the "under certain conditions, Samus will "remove" her Power Suit" that is more than likely than not talking about the Metriod Series. Besides no use removing a potential move from each character just for a few frames of transformation. Can you think of any B move of Samus you would sacrifice to transform to Zero Suit Samus? Yea, I didn't think so.
Although it would be awkward, I see your interpretation of Zsamus to be plausible, but... I feel that it's not quite what we thought it's gonna be.
Samus - Confirmed
no arguement
Metaknight - Confirmed
Top tier 
but seriously, no argument here
Kirby - Confirmed
well let's hope he doesn't actually blow this time (he sucks anyway... literally )
Falco - This is another character that puzzles me why people would want to get rid of such a great character. He is the second most important character of the star fox universe, second to Fox only. Another clone that is way more than deserving to have a unique moveset in Brawl. Removing him would anger many fans. I think his costume should also be different from his generic one from Melee. One of the costumes featured an a ending in Command shows a very awesome one.
Although Falco himself is cool, I seriously believe he is overrated in melee; I feel that the Tiers have turned SSBM into "Super Star Fox Melee"
Fox - Yet another character from the original 12. He should have his Assault COSTUME, but keep the melee proportions. A lot of people hate the assault costume, and I believe because its of the weird proportions they give Fox in the game. The costume itself is good.
See Falco's post, replace falco with fox
Megaman X – The signature blue bomber hailing from Capcom. I chose X besides the original Megaman for several reasons. In Megaman x4-6, X used Zero's saber, this opens a lot of moveset opportunities. Especially for the A moves. Also X has never been in a cross over, the original Megaman has been in several. Granted, I would be happy if the original made it.
Honestly I feel that Megaman is far more overrated than sonic, so no.
Captain Falcon – A prime example of a character entering Smash as nothing and turning into something. Now I don't mean game wise, I am talking about fighting wise. You never saw him show any signs of pyrokinesis in his games. This is a good reference to people who argue that “Y cants use X because in Y's game Y never uses that.”
I like C.Falcon, he just needs a better voice.
Deathborn – I know I really should put Samurai Gorah here since his fan base is much larger, but I just cant stand Gorah. An overweight samurai does not appeal to me. I do not like Black Shadow because he is a less cooler batman that had his way with a little too many steriods. Now to Deathborn himself I absolutely love his design. Cheesy, sure, but a great one nonetheless. His moveset could be an awesome one. His play style could be similar to Ganon's since I assume he is getting revamped and a lot of people like Ganon's old moveset. Now I am not saying just slap on Ganon's Melee moveset onto Deathborn, some moves would be easy to transfer though, such as Ganon's Dair and Fair. His B move should be unique. I hope I made what I mean clear enough on this one.
yes, yes and yes, Although Pico could be a good choice also...
Snake - Confirmed
No argument here
Jigglypuff – The classic character that everyone thought (or at least I did) was the worst character in Melee (I am talking about during casual play). To lose to jigglypuff was to be humiliated. Why take that away? Another character from the original 12.
She is practically a smash bros classic, she has GOT to stay
Pikachu - Confirmed
Pokemon is overrated, but Pikachu is not
Lucario – Probably one, if not the coolest of the new generation of Pokemon. Eventhough I dislike his character design, the spikes are my main problem with it, but after watching some clips of him he is a very interesting character. Also his fan base and the movesets that spawned with them also proves this point. I could easily imagine Lucario being an excellent addition to Brawl.
Interesting, he feels to be one of the better pokemon.
Mewtwo – Another character I am baffled to hear that some people want him kick out. Sure he was not spectacular in melee, but with a new game comes new opportunities. He could easily be an awesome character to use, and there are a lot of things that could fix him up.
Fix him up indeed!
Wolf - The whole Wolf vs Krystal argument is dragged on too much unneeded. They are both excellent choices for new characters, and they should both make it onto Brawl. Wolf has been my all time favorite character from the star fox series ever since I played Star Fox 64. I consider him a sure foot in along with Krystal. Chances are he is going to be my new main. To everyone who says he would be a lame clone of Fox, stop being narrow minded. There are tons of lists around the boards that prove you otherwise.
I have to agree with Tera on this one
Krystal – Krystal, like many people before me have pointed out time and time again, already has a moveset that basically writes itself. The chance to wield her staff makes for a unique and very opportune character.
Again, I have to agree with Tera on this one
Ness - Again, another part of the original 12, there is no reason why Ness should be booted.
ness definetly needs a makeover
Geno – Before you people freak out how I went over the three 3rd party characters limit, the 2-3 3rd party characters was a rough estimate and I see it as its possible to go a little over. I honestly think that there's a good chance for Geno and X to be in the game. I do not see any reason why Square would hold off on this character, thus probably one of the easiest 3rd party characters to get a license to use. Him being high on Sakurai's poll also helps his chances.
Initially I was opposed to Geno, but through reanalysis I have gotten around to liking him. I am not a fan of his character design (mainly the ugly orange curls), but his personality and his methods of attacks outweigh it big time. Even just for homage to one of the greatest rpgs ever made is enough to grant him a spot on the precious 3rd party slots.
Honestly... although he's good I would rather not see him in brawl, just leave it with snake and sonic for the 3rd party.
Skull Kid – I have to admit I have never played Majora's Mask. But his character design is an awesome one and from what I hear his potential is pretty big. The tentacles is a especially great idea and I would love to try this guy out in Brawl. His fan base is surprisingly large so it is not a long shot to say he will make it.
...Are you kidding me?! Honestly I would rather see Midna in place of that freak: despite majora's mask being one of the better zelda games, I honestly say that tingle is better than him... and Midna is better than both of them.
Question Mark? - Since I combined Sheik and Zelda again I have an empty spot. I would like to use it for an earthbound character but I do not know which one as I am not too familiar with the series. If you have any suggestions but please give an explanition WHY.
Well anyway, SSBB needs women; Krystal was the only new female character you introduced, Zsamus does not count since she honestly is one character split into two.
I Already outlined Midna when reviewing the skull kid., but still I have my hopes up for her in brawl.
Lyn and Titania from Fire emblem in my opinion would be perfect for brawl: both are women, and Titania uses a halberd, pulling away from the sword user cliche; nailing three birds with one stone.
Paula and/or jeff from earthbound would work too...
For the retro Characters, I'd go with Mach Rider or Lil Mac.
Honestly I'm not very familiar with Mother 3, To tell you the truth, I don't even know if it's released in the US... but that didn't stop Fire emblem now did it? 
I say no to Dark Samus because: Clone, Cliche, no Ridley= bad idea. But Spire feels like he could be a good addition.
Pokemon... I would say Cubone or Absol, just for some reason when i saw the word "Absolute" I thought that Absol could make a good addition to brawl.
mario.... uhh... well...
Waluigi, as a wario character would be an interesting addition
As for the suspected Miyamoto... I honestly say it would be a whacked out blast to play as him. :D
enough said for this.
Pit - Confirmed
I have to agree with Tera again for the some-odd'th time now.
C. Removed Characters
NOTE: IF I COULD I WOULD MAKE ALL CHARACTERS RETURNING.
Roy – A seemingly unimportant Fire Emblem lord now. He could easily be replaced with a better more unique lord. The sword users are already stacking up too much as it is.
Agreed, But honestly I couldn't care two cents about Roy.
Doctor Mario - The fact of the matter is, all Doctor Mario is, is Mario in a labcoat. Though I understand why people would want to keep him, as they like his play style more so then Mario's. Though I want him removed from the game does not mean that his influence is completely gone (More on this later).
Agreed, plus too many mario characters (Not that it's an overly bad thing)
Pichu - Pichu is a rather useless character. It may seem a little harsh but he is just a scrawny less effective Pikachu. More then likely on the top of the expected list of characters not making the cut.
Well I'd have to disagree on Pichu's uselessness, but it feels that he needs to go.
Young Link – Now this one I know I am going to get some back talking for this. To be honest I don't see why everyone likes Young Link. He is Link.....but younger. Sure he is used a lot in the Zelda games and can get a unique moveset but why do that? I see it as given Doctor Mario or Pichu a unique moveset. Sure it makes them unique now, but it seems to be a waste of development time when you could just put a better character in. To those of you who think I am a hypocrite (Xianfeng), there is reason behind why I think Zero Suit Samus and Sheik are a completely different case than Young Link. Link and Young Link fight and look almost completely indentical. Zelda fights with magic, and Sheik fights with martial arts. They also look so different that they can be considered a whole different person. Same goes for Zero Suit Samus. Samus is in a huge battlesuit and wields completely different weapons than Zero Suit Samus. Again they are so different they could easily be considered two different people. You can not say that about Young Link.
agreed, we do not want too many (if any at all) clones.
Well, I'm done with this considerably long post,
-AK
P.S. I love your selection screen, You are freaking awesome with photoshop.
