Some dark alleyway.
So the point of this here thread is: If you had to add one newcomer for every franchise who already have/had playable representation in Super Smash Bros., who would you pick?
If you want to leave your answers, just keep these in mind:

-Note that the title of the thread is "suggest a Newcomer for each Franchise". Please refrain from simply using cut veterans.
-You have to pick a character from all of the franchises, don't skip any!
-You don't necessarily have to actually want such and such character to be playable in Smash.
-No matter your lack of knowledge on a certain franchise, always answer. Just spout out any random name!
-Even if there aren't any real characters to choose from left, try to think out of the box!
-Justification isn't required but feel free to do it!


So anyways, here are my choices.

Mario Bros.: Fawful
Legend of Zelda: Zant
Pokemon: Sceptile
Metroid: Ridley
Donkey Kong: King K. Rool
Star Fox: Leon
Kirby: Bandana Waddle-Dee
Pikmin: Scornet Maestro
Fire Emblem: Dark Knight?
F-Zero: Black Shadow
MOTHER: Giegue/Giygas
Kid Icarus: Hades
Ice Climbers: Polar Bear
Duck Hunt: Mike Anderson (That was an incredibly huge stretch)
R.O.B.: Professor Hector (Or Nintendo could release a R.O.B. V2 and we could put him in Smash!)
Animal Crossing: Tom Nook
Yoshi: Kamek
Xenoblade: Cross
Game & Watch: That one cat in the Chef minigame.
Punch-Out!!: King Hippo
Wario: Captain Syrup
WiiFit: The talking WiiFit balance board
Metal Gear: Big Boss?
Sonic: Dr. Eggman
Megaman: Dr. Wily
Pac-Man: Spooky

I'm game...

Mario: Waluigi (personally Mario doesn't need anymore reps but Waluigi would complete everything at least)

Pokemon: Zoroark (he is considered as a paralel to Lucario, and if he ever gets a mega in the future, which I am hopeful, adding him to the smash lineup isn't a stretch)

Zelda: Midna (my number one pick as a newcomer, I am still hopeful but her role as an assist trophy does make it problematic, though she fills the role of the ever important companion character in smash and she has the most popularity and potential out of all other companions within the series)

Donkey Kong: King K Rool ( not too big on the series myself, but I am not against the addition of another heavy villain in smash)

Metroid: Dark Samus (I understand the reasonings behind Ridley's absence, as much as I like the big purple pterodactyl dragon, Dark Samus is the next most logical choice behind Ridley as a rep for Metroid since she is the main antagonist behind on of the biggest fps games released for the gamecube and wii and gives the prime games a strong footing in smash, also being female and a villain is a bonus)

Star Fox: Krystal (honestly don't understand why she's left out of the game in almost all aspects, but she'd bring something unique to the table)

Kirby: Bandana Dee (I'm honestly content with the Kirby representation, but since he is on popular demand so why not?)

Earthbound: Porky (I'm not really too familiar with the series but having two reps is good enough for I think, adding Porky would gives us another villain, but as stated I'm not all that familiar do sure...)

F-zero: Black Shadow (not a fan of racing games in general so I never had an interest in this series at all, as was the case with Earthbound this gives us another villain)

Fire Emblem: Dark Knight (Fire Emblem has more than enough representation through the years with a total of 5 characters, so yeah see above)

Pikmin: ??????? (never played pikmin can't even give you a villain or a character that is not Olimar or Alph)

Kid Icarus: Medusa (another female that's also a villain so why not, perhaps we can get rid of dark pit while we're at it since do we really need two pits?)

Yoshi: Birdo (I guess...)

Animal Crossing: Mr. Resetti (lol)

Wario: Ashley (sure...)

Xenoblade: Who?

Punch-Out: King Hippo (Little Mac does fine on his own but this fatass would be the best choice for a secondary rep)

Duck Hunt: All possibilities are already rep in some way as the Duck Hunt character is technically three in one so....

Ice Climbers: Topi (did you know that these characters are supposed to be seals but were changed because of NA's sensitivity to seal hunting?)

WiiFit: uhhhhhh....

Game & Watch: Donkey Kong Jr. (Would he count as a DK rep or a GnW rep? Oh well I'm going with DK Jr)

Sonic: Tails (the most famous video game sidekick not named Luigi, would bring something unique to the table with his gadgets)

Megaman: Zero (tbh haven't played megaman games all that much but yeah Zero...sure)

Pacman: Mrs. Pacman? (Only played the classics but I guess she could be a new female character)

Metal Gear Solid: Grey Fox (cyborg ninja!....nuff said....)

More than half of these I've never played, so a bunch of these might be coming out of left field

Mario Bros.: Daisy (not as a Peach clone. I know there's potential in there somewhere, with all of those mario sports games and mario party and mario kart and whatnot)
Legend of Zelda: Tetra (but not just as a Toon-Sheik)
Pokemon: Pokemon Ranger (This could be done really well I think, with the ranger themselves fighting. their styler could function as a baton, and their top as a whip, and specials and smash attacks could use PokeAssists and Field Moves)
Metroid: Gandrayda (smash doesn't have any characters like Charade from Soulcalibur, so she'd be perfect for that role, changing into a different fighter for each life)
Donkey Kong: Dixie Kong
Star Fox: Krystal, I guess
Kirby: Paint Roller (I blanked, I blanked really bad. Really liked his minigame in Canvas Curse though)
Pikmin: Britney and Charlie (sorta as a Ice Climber/Rosalina and Luma hybrid)
Fire Emblem: Micaiah and Edward (which would function like Charlotte and Jonathan in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. No Sothe because he doesn't fit that role gameplay-wise. maybe.)
F-Zero: The Skull
MOTHER: Lucas a second time Pokey/Porky/whatever his name is, possibly as a background character controlling Masked Man, who fights for him
Kid Icarus:
Viridi
Ice Climbers: Polar Bear, I guess
Duck Hunt: Tetra, again. (as Duck Hunt is really a NES Zapper Rep [see, down B, final smash], and the Wii Zapper is it's spiritual successor [bear with me], which was packaged with Link's Crossbow training, which is a part of the Legend of Zelda series, which is where you get Tetra)
R.O.B.: R.O.B., but from Mario Kart DS
Animal Crossing: Tom Nook (Final Smash: Crippling Debt)
Yoshi: Black Yoshi, but with the Tility powers from Topsy-Turvy/Universal Gravitation
Xenoblade: Protag of X
Game & Watch:
Dark Mr. Game and Watch Baloon Fighter
Punch-Out!!:
Referee Mario
Wario: Mona
WiiFit: The balance board, I guess...? Maybe another trainer who has different moves because I doubt they'd run out of yoga poses and mini-games that quickly
Metal Gear:
Raiden
Sonic: Blaze
Megaman: Zero
Pac-Man: Mrs. Pac-man (staying true to real life by being literally just a buffed Pac-man)

Mario: Paper Mario - would represent a big and iconic part of the franchise and has a very exciting moveset potential
Yoshi: Kamek - arguably the main villain in the series. Not much to choose from here.
Donkey Kong: K. Rool. Most notable character aside from Donkey and Diddy and has a fantastic moveset potential
Wario: 9-Volt - one of the more popular Wario characters. His gimmick being obsessed with Nintendo history means he would fit into Smash perfectly
Zelda: Tingle - far and away the most notable character in the series aside from the Triforce trio
Metroid: Ridley - the only other character prominent enough in the series to warrant a place IMO
Kid Icarus: Medusa - third most prominent character in the series I believe behind Pit and Palutena
Kirby: Bandanna Dee - seems to have become the de facto 'fourth character' of the series
Star Fox: Krystal - there's better characters in the series but she trumps them all in terms of moveset potential
F-Zero: Samurai Goroh - has been in the series since the start and is probably the most recognisable character aside from Falcon
Pokemon: Meowth - a fun and forever relevant Pokemon
Fire Emblem: Lyn - one of the more iconic, popular and recognisable lords of the series thanks to her assist trophy status and her role in the West's first FE game. Also a great character in her own right.
Mother: Ninten - would be nice to complete the set of main protagonists
Animal Crossing: Tom Nook - the most notable NPC character of the series
Pikmin: Louie - not much to choose from here
Punch Out: Bald Bull - has been in more Punch Out games than anyone
Xenoblade: X Protagonist - makes the most sense
R.O.B.: Professor Hector - the true hero of the series!
Sonic: Tails - was tempted to go with Robotnik but Tails has more potential
Mega Man: Proto Man - been in the series since the third installment. Seems cool.
Metal Gear: Grey Fox - meh
Pac-Man: Mrs Pac-Man
