1. Simon Belmont
The Castlevania franchise is still plugging away across all major home consoles and has experimented with a variety of styles though none have suited it more than the side scrolling platformer that made the original great. It's another game that, despite being released on multiple formats, is frequently seen as a Nintendo classic. It had great level design, atmosphere and taught you how to play effectively using items rather than letting you charge in. Not every Castlevania game is spectacular (the internet won't let you forget how bad Simon's Quest is) but the name has endured as a classic franchise. Simon Belmont is the face of that franchise. He isn't present in every game, but he kick-started everything back in 1986 so he deserves some Smash Bros. respect with a spot on the roster. He fits right in to everything demanded from a character. He can get a range of attacks from his in-game weapons such as the holy water, knife, axe and classic whip as well as lending some great bosses for assist trophies. A Castlevania stage would be a sweet addition that can spice up the action with some falling spikes and moving platforms and that doesn't even cover the music which would only flourish under the Smash Bros. history of remixing classic tracks. That's who I want to see in the next Smash Bros but what about you? Who do you want to see? Who should be brought in or left out? What do you think of the newest characters already revealed?
