yeah, well.. Eternal Darkness works, but I would kill to see a giant squid headed monster get up behind the battle field (ya'know cuz they float) and rain insanity down upun the helpless nintendo characters
"N is for Necronomicon! a book bound in human skin, written by a mad arab guy, that contains dark and terrible cosmic secrets, and anyone who reads it will go slowly insane over a period of many years."
Precisely the guy who would show up well before my pick of Vile. It would be a rather big license to get though, so I'm not gonna hold my breath on any Megaman characters showing up. Capcom could easily make a whole "party fighting" game just with all the megaman stuff.
Perhaps in the future rendition of smash bros. they'd have some sort of modular character thing where a person could go through a big catalog of characters and grab (probably in exchange for a bit of money) more characters as they desire. It'd be a tough thing to do from a development standpoint, but licensing fees would be covered quite well, and if the game was popular, companies may actually be practically falling over themselves to put some characters in this library.
Smash Bros. is a very different fighting experience from all of those Street Fighter style games. I must admit, I was overjoyed when i first saw Megaman in a Marvel Vs. Capcom, but he would be a million times cooler in a Smash Bros. Of course, he'd be rather similar to Samus with his blaster and all, they could just oust her regular form (since everyone will prefer her jiggly one anyway) and replace that with him.
Still, there are so many characters who have never been in a fighting game before, plenty of whom have no damn business being in a fighting game, and those are the ones I want to see.
Although the blaster would be similar in form to Samus, I bet you could get a lot of variety via his ability to steal others' powers. So he's more of a Kirby-Samus hybrid.
Maybe they could differentiate him from Kirby by stealing something other than the opponent's B-button attacks... ooh, maybe their Smash attacks! Change up his entire A-button moveset!
mega man would be good, and then Simon Belmont. he could have the vampire killer, and the throwing axe, and holy water, and that cross or boomerang or whatever it is

"ooooh! ooh! I do!"
"OK Billy you try."

"Yes! that's right Billy, two gold stars!"
If they're still willing to go third-party, I'd like to see Megaman.

Like the Long Piece. Or the Vic Viper.
