The * means this character is a copy of another character. Despite this, these characters actually play much differently than their counterparts. I firmly beleive that NONE of the characters should be removed under any cirumstances. You may think some are useless, but they may actually be more useful to someone else than you think. Just ask the folks at Smashboards.
I also think that some of the characters who had their abilities nerfed in the transition From SSB64 to SSBM be made stronger in the next SSB. I say this because Smashboards has teir lists showing how useful the characters are to the proffessional smashing community. Charactrers like Fox and Sheik rank higher up because they were made with so many fast moves, while Bowser and Donkey Kong rank lower because thay are so freaken slow. If Nintendo hadn't attached these handicaps to these characters, their playability may have changed. With the current physics that Bowser has, he doesn't appear as powerful as he should. I think thats an insult to an otherwise great character. Similar events happened with Kirby and Pikachu, who were powerful in the previous game, but extremely nerfed in SSBM. Due this problem with balancing the characters out, I have only chosen the characters with the most moveset potential and made the list a minimum of 45 characters. So, on with the list.
26.Toad- Light,fast, with the ability to throw stuff from SMB2.
27.Wario- Heavy,with his attacks form Wario Land and Wario World.
28.Diddy/Dixie- A cross between Zelda and Ice Climbers, with their moves from DKC2.
29.Meta Knight- Light like Kirby, with sword attacks like Link.
30.King DeDeDe- Sort of like a heavier Kirby, with hammer attacks like the Ice Climbers.
31.Wolf- Slightly heavier than Fox, with completely different special attacks.
32.Krystal- Another female character who would fight using her staff.
33.Ridley- Sort of a lighter Bowser with different attacks and a 'floaty-jump'.
34.Munchlax- Similar to Jigglypuff, only heavier with a few different attacks.
35.Jeff- Uses all of his inventions as attacks.
36.Poo- Has PK attacks like Ness, but has Martial Arts-tpe moves for his regular attacks.
37.Black Shadow- Ganondorf can get a new moveset that more true to his character, and his old one can be transfered to this guy.
38.Hector- Big character who fights with an axe.
39.Lyn- We need a female Fire Emblem character.
40.Balloon Fighter- Not sure about his moveset, but he was almost in SSBM.
41.Pit- It would be nice to see him return and he could be almost like a floaty Link.
42.Olimar- He'd be small, but would attack with a huge army of Pikmin.
43.Hakkun- This guy appeared in a game for the Broadcast Satellite for the SNES. Hes like a clear jellybean with a mosquito needle. In his game, you had to suck color out of blocks and put them in other blocks to gat around the stages. This wpuld make an interesting moveset.
44.Lip- She's from Panel de Pon and her staff appeared as and item in SSBM, so now she could make a good playable female character.
45.Imajin- He's the kid from Doki Doki Panic. First of all, this game needs recognition.Second, due to the game he's from, he could be a clone of Toad.
Yes, I reposted my list from that other thread. I love it that much.
Here's a few more:
46.Solid Snake
47.Sonic
48.Viewtiful Joe
49.Bonk
50.Captain N
This is just speculation on the other 3rd party characters that may be included. I also think that Captain N should return(redesigned though, with a Wiimote as a weapon).
