3-Yoshimitsu is a fighter from both SoulCalibur and Tekken,so if anything he should be the rep.Also,he`s a weird character with an unusual playstyle in his games so that could make him a very cool and interesting fighter in the next game.As for KOSMOS,there`s the relationship triangle between Nintendo,Monolith and Namco and if you ever saw some of those amv about the anime,you`d have a good idea of how she could play like.
If anything,KOSMOS could be the Snake remplacement.She can shape her bodyparts into a large variety of weapons and with stuffs like her signature Halbert Effect,this could be an unique mechanic for her where if you hold it`s imput long enough,it cover the whole screen and it give her a damage boost on everyone.The only problem with her is that she didn`t had much appearance on Nintendo platforms outside of a Japan-only Xenosaga remake for the DS and a guest apparance in Super Robot Wars OG Saga and it`s sequel alongside Project X Zone.Outside of it,i`d like to see her,an android with dual machine guns sounds like fun.I hope they`d use her ver.1 ouftit for this game through i could guess they`d go with the ver.4 since it`s the most used right now in the DS and 3DS games.
4-Maybe Konami helped because they through it was a good way of promoting MGS4 so they got involved.Brawl was released in 2007 and a few months after MGS4 got released,so it made sense to use Snake to promote their games to Wii owners.
Dillion speeding around pretty much sums up a nice chunk of Sonic's own attacks. Only one that may been a problem would be the Upward Special in terms of iconic attacks. That, to be honest, I still haven't thought of anything creative just yet. But since Sonic uses a spring, I wouldn't deny Dillion a use of a volcano eruption underneath him to get where he needs to be.
When I mention Advance Wars characters I am also thinking outside the box for their skill ideas, where-as Ness and Lucas use spells from their own games, not just themselves learn, and how Captain Falcon, in retrospect, Has one of the wierdest ideas for a fighter who has never been seen out of his machine. Yet it works for him, so I think reworking a little of the skills to fit the weapons from Days of Ruin and so forth, you can probably it one of the Days of Ruin characters into the game without sacrificing much in return, if Snake was to not return, of course. It's a war game, wouldn't be too hard I believe.
Yoshimitsu may be in more different games, but that doesn't make him a true iconic mascot either though. Yes he might get a unique playstyle, then again this is SSB, he may not get one the way we think. On the same token Heihachi would be just the oposite, though I admit I haven't seen a refined fighter in SSB just yet so I would welcome either (though my bias would toss both out and bring in Chun Li, just cause). But when I spoke of Namco's Tekken team working on the game, I immediately thought Heihachi, cause to me he feels like the unofficial mascot.
KOS-MOS was in crossover games for the most part with Nintendo systems, so it was why I made it clear that would be a far far stretch to get her in there. Like, Cloud in SSB stretch. Also with third party replacing third party... Sort of would leave a bitter taste one or the other's fans' mouths, don't you think? I definitely wouldn't want Megaman to replace Samus cause some skills are very similar to certain degrees. Not saying they can't, but I got to say that may not be the greatest of choices. KOS-MOS has her own toolkit idea all together, pretty sure she won't need to taking anyone elses.
As for promoting, perhaps part of it was, but consider Konami all together (the JPN development teams), they're putting Snake in odder games before, and they've done wierder things with some of their characters and franchises with other development companies before then too. From what I've heard Konami was all for getting Snake in Melee but just never had the time when the nods were given, but all awaited for Brawl and finally, we even see Snake in the first trailer. You cannot tell me that they weren't excited beyond just promoting MGS4 when they waited that long. Who knows what SSBU would hold for us. Konami and Nintendo may have already given their okays for Snake's return, and they may be working on a second Konami character (doubt it personally, but wouldn't be surprised). If they were, though Alucard is boss and all, we may all have to agree that Belmont is a name many jump to when thinking of defeating Dracula... Except for the fighting game... We all know it doesn't exsist.... Right?

Which makes Sora a good candidate, and they could obviously use Moogle, Chocobo, Mages, Slime, Cactuar, etc... or TWEWY characters...
The issue with Sora is pretty much the majority of KH characters are actually owned by Disney, while Square were designing the characters for them. So it's safe to consider KH is pretty much mostly out of the picture (to me that's a relief). Though SE has been a little smarter about who to represent in the sport games they've made with Mario and Nintendo in the past, pretty sure it would be safer to say that the classic classes (Ninja, Black/Blue/White/Red Mage, so on), Moogle, Chocobo and on a further stretch, the summons (Ifirit, Shiva, Cactuar). I would say though, Tonberry assist trophy idea had me a good chuckle.
) but because lots of people want him in Smash Bros. and rightfully so in Brawl. I remember reading a long long time ago that Inafune had approached Sakurai but recieved no response. Sakurai did say he would open two more spots for 3rd party characters in which Sonic took one of them. I'm thinking Inafune approaching Sakurai was a rumor but I'm positive about Sakurai allowing two more spots after Snake. As to which "version" of Megaman, although I like X's design, the original Megaman would probably be best. Although, my personal favorite has to be between Volnutt and EXE.
