Description
I'd been working on this on and off for about a month between other - probably more important - things I'm doing. It's actually been done for a few weeks now; I just wanted to save it for right before the next Smash Bros stream/video/etc (and cue 45 minute Terry Bogard showcase tomorrow, so here I am posting it at last!).

Since it was confirmed that even after the Fighters Pass there'd be more DLC characters, I've been seeing these kinds of lists pop up a lot (more than usual, even). Often, lists of ten like this, even though I don't believe there are going to be quite that many more characters. Still, I wanted to throw my hat in. I confess I'm kinda reaching at this point, though. (For the record, these are characters I want; not ones I expect. And in no particular order either.)

Real talk, though: In my opinion, the Smash Bros Ultimate roster is already perfect. It's truly given me just about every character I've ever wanted since the beginning of this series twenty years ago. I got Mega Man last time. I got Simon and Richter this time. I got Joker and Terry through DLC. And most importantly for me, I got Hero (four versions, no less!).

While there are other characters I'd love to see (as shown in the image above), I won't be heartbroken if they don't happen. I'm genuinely happy - downright ecstatic - with what I've got in this game. No character is going to ruin the roster for me at this point, and to be honest, I don't even expect a single one of the characters I've drawn to become available. These are just the last lingering characters I could think of that would make my day.

While I said I don't expect any of them, a lot of the ones I picked are still (mostly) ones I could believe happening. Maybe a lot of longshots, but none of them are impossible. As I've said probably a million times at this point, seeing what's come so far, I don't think anyone's truly off the table (even Spirits, even Assist Trophies). The only one I truly can't see happening at all on my list is Soma (and only because, let's be real, if another Castlevania character becomes playable, it's gonna be Alucard upgraded from being an Assist; and yes, I'd totally be down for that too). I actually only had nine characters for this list, and like a dozen others that I love but just didn't think were quite as likely, or ones that were more possible, but not as exciting for me personally. It's my list; I just wanted to draw characters I like. XD

Besides Soma, though, I do think all the others are absolutely plausible. I could probably give every last one of these characters several paragraphs of explanation on why I think they belong or how they might work. But I doubt anyone really wants to read my hypothetical novella and I could probably be doing something way more productive with my time. But the short, short version is that I just LOVE all these characters, and it would make me happy to see ANY of them.

Again though, I have no regrets with what's been offered so far. Even if none of these happen - even if DLC abruptly ended where we are right now - I'd actually be really content. ^_^

Anyway, I hope you've enjoyed this. If you're as much of an over-invested nerd as I am, please feel free to share some of who you hope for (or at the very least, who you expect). Once again, thank you for indulging my fan art, and I hope y'all have a great rest of the day. And may all your Smash dreams come true! XD

EDIT (01/16/2020) - Well, I got Byleth! I'm so ecstatic!

EDIT (02/17/2021) - Okay, but for real, though? I kept naming Rex my most wanted for Smash 'cause I just wanted any Xenoblade 2 rep, and I thought he was the most likely character. But I'd have been happy with literally any main character in that game. Getting an interchangeable Pyra and Mythra means I just got my most wanted twice! Best case scenario! I'm having such good luck with my most wanteds, I'm starting to think I should update this for the post-Byleth post-Pyra/Mythra timeline we're on. XD
