Bomberman

First Appearance

Bomberman

MSX

1983

One of the most popular video game characters, along with being one of the most requested characters, Bomberman is the greatest bomber ever. He has had 3 cartoon shows after him, dozens and dozens of games starring him, tons of merchandise, and has become an icon in video games.

The trick would be designing his moveset. He could obviously use bombs and his variation of bombs. Maybe he could be resistant to bombs and explosions.

He could use his ice bombs to freeze opponents, thunder bombs to give electrical damage, and fire bombs to add flame damage.

Maybe he could use mines too as a special move.

His standard option could be using regular bombs. However, they stay in place where they are placed and won't explode until Bomberman detonates them. This could be his recovery move.

A possible taunt?

His entrance?

Another taunt?

Maybe he could put on his vest and drop a whole bunch of bombs for his final smash...

Overall, Bomberman has enough weapons to build up a moveset, plenty of alternate costumes, and is definitely a top contender for a third party character.

Captain Falcon

First Appearance

F-Zero

Super Nintendo

1991

The greatest pilot from video games will be a sure thing. However, I think it's more important that he sees an appearance before the next Smash Bros. game. I absolutely hate all racing games, and even I enjoy playing some F-Zero. Sure, a lot of people prefer Mario Kart, but there's plenty of people who still prefer F-Zero. The characters are cooler and more adult-like, the plot's way better, and overall it feels much cooler racing in a futuristic spaceship than a beat up comical go-kart. If Nintendo fails to release an F-Zero game for the Wii U and 3DS, they're going to lose a huge fanbase who will most likely just go for the Playstation or XBox racing games. After all, both consoles have WAY better graphics than Nintendo. It would be stupid not to release an F-Zero game for Nintendo, primarily because everyone loves anything with Captain Falcon in it just so they can all scream "Falcon PUNCH".

I don't think a single thing should change for the Captain. He's got a perfect and fun moveset. The only thing new Falcon-related to hope for is him losing his clone, Ganondorf along with gaining a new character or two from the series.
