Ninja gaiden ryu would be cooler

yes

[bluaki]

Is "Belmont" just a generic "give us whichever Belmont we can get"

Simon would be the most obvious choice of them

Anyway why do people want Wolf back instead of a new character??? What a waste.

Is Ryu on that list referring to Street Fighter or Ninja Gaiden lol

Neither Belmont nor Ryu specify a game on this page. The Japanese they're referred by are just ベルモンド (berumondo) and リュã,¦ (ryuu), which doesn't help clarify.

If you give people any playable character, there will be fans of how that character played who will want him back if he disappears. That's why Wolf is so popular (and Snake, Ice Climbers, Pichu, Roy). There are also people who care about villain representation, for which Wolf is the Star Fox series's best bet; similarly, that partially explains King K Rool, Ridley, and Black Shadow being the most-requested reps for DK, Metroid, and F-Zero.

[TooB]

klonoa is pretty high up on that list....
make it happen nintendo!!!

[Samus Aran]

Ninja gaiden ryu would be cooler

Agreed

[ME##]

AE86 from Initial D would be the best new fighter

[Samus Aran]

ME86 from Boyah would be the best new fighter

[Kalahari Inkantation]

King K Rool or Banjo would be neat but Rare

2.3% Paper Mario
2.3% Custom Robo
1.9% Daisy
1.4% Waddle Dee
1.4% Isaac
1.2% Jibanyan

Well I picked a few ideas from that list so 

Is "Belmont" just a generic "give us whichever Belmont we can get"

Simon would be the most obvious choice of them

Anyway why do people want Wolf back instead of a new character??? What a waste.

Is Ryu on that list referring to Street Fighter or Ninja Gaiden lol

Today in Smash:
Update released, which adds sharing, a few more 8-player-compatible stages (all Omegas this time), online sharing, DLC support, and balancing updates

Mewtwo codes have been emailed by Club Nintendo. The download for a fighter unlock is tiny, so you can (probably) play online against people using DLC fighters you don't own. Mewtwo sadly does not have any unlockable custom moves. The roster was rearranged a little (notice Link and Kirby):
[spoiler][/spoiler]

DLC for Mii Fighter Costumes is available, at the price of $0.75 each or $6.00 for the entire set. The DLC data actually includes the costume data; if you don't own this DLC when fighting against someone who does, you'll see the default Mii Fighter outfit in place of any DLC outfit.

Upcoming updates:
Mewtwo available for purchase (April 28, $4 for one copy, $5 for both versions)
Lucas (June)
Miiverse Stage (TBA)

[TooB]

mewtwo is ok. at least better than lucario.

[The Hand That Fisted Everyone]

mewtwo plays just like in melee except maybe slower? idk
