Probably because they never appeared outside of Metroid Prime Hunters (sans Sylux in Prime 3's 100% ending).I wonder what new character would represent the Metroid series. The only thing I can think of are the characters introduced in Metroid Prime Hunters even though they didn't have too much attacks, at least they were playable. For some reason these guys get no mention whatsoever when the topic of a Metroid rep that's not Ridley comes up.

Wasn't chakram confirmed as Mii Sword Fighter's default side special?
Also every other character uses the left most choice as their default special move. No reason Miis wouldn't be the same.
Palutena has the same amount of move set customization as Miis do, and nobody would doubt she was always allowed in all modes.

The roster thing on the last page.
A part of me feels like Weavel will become the butt of Master Chief jokes again if he's ever brought up. He is an interesting character though, would be cool to see his play style revolve around him splitting his body and being Rosalina-esque in that regards. I think you guys are right though at the fact that Hunters was an obscure game in the Metroid catalog (it wasn't bad though), it kind of hinders any of the hunters to be playable since hardly anybody would recognize them. It's just weird to see Metroid fans never mention them.
lol its super bash sisters! of course its the right thread
This! Although, the more I look at it the more unbelievable it is.
Takamaru should be at the bottom row *nitpicks*

Simply because Prime Hunters was a pretty mediocre spin-off (of a spin-off series no less), and all of the characters were specifically designed to be Samus clones, with minor differences (particularly the aesthetics), since Hunters was primarily devised as a multiplayer game. None of the characters appeared outside of that game, either. There is speculation Sylux's ship appeared in the ending of Prime 3 upon achieving 100% item collection, but the ships just look similar, and are not identical, which means it's arguable whether it was Sylux or not in that scene.
If Sakurai were to introduce a character that isn't Ridley, I think Rundas, Ghor or Gandrayda would be better choices than any of the Hunters characters, alternatively a soldier from Other M (Adam or Anthony seem to be the popular choices here) and of course Dark Samus, who already is out due to being an AT.
After that, beyond making a generic enemy type playable (a space pirate or a Zeta Metroid or something), there's not much else left.

Shit, It has been nearly 4 months ever since I had Bowser avatar. I decided to check first day of Super Mario Kart OT. That's when I took the avatar, and It was on March 21, 2014.
Yeah, before that, I had Smug Dedede.
I know. It's my defensive mechanism so I wouldn't get disappointed if Snake didn't make in the game. If he get in, then you will see my reaction when it happened.

Edited: Sorry about double post. -_- (I'm pretty used to thread being moving fast.)
Wait, Wait? It's back? I didn't notice it at all. Link me pls!

Daisy is still not invited.
We've known about pivot cancels for a while now.
I think general opinion is that they potentially just make the game more defensive seeing as they'd be used for retreating tilts/smashes rather than being something you can use in combos or for offense.

I must have missed that?!
Generic space marine from a shitty game? Please no.
I'm sure I noticed this a while ago, but I totally forgot to notice it recently. That's a very awesome and great point.
I don't like that the stocks are BELOW the profile picture and percent, though.
Dang, I've posting some in all of the SmashGAF threads since late last year and I have yet to get a Smash bros avatar D: I want to change that soon.
I remember this tactic at Smashfest. It's actually really simple to do on the 3DS as well. Stuff like this makes me hype for the new games.

Defensive or not, I think this looks fun to do. I like it.
A Metroid character whose moveset would be based around evolving from the standard Metroid to a Zeta Metroid, with a Gamma or Queen Metroid as a Final Smash, would actually be fairly interesting, if a nightmare to implement.

A technique added in Brawl makes you excited for the new games? Why? It's not a new thing.

Shame you swapped, your avatar was very quote-worthy.
(I actually would've avatar quoted you on that double post!)
Would make as much sense as generic alien soldier from a shitty game.
Agreed, it would be an interesting concept, even though I would be worried about the balance of a character that is outright flying at all times. Plus, the internet would flip its shit if "The Baby" was playable.
See it. And I don't believe a word. Why would Mewtwo be a boss? Makes no sense.

FUCK YESSSSSSSS! I'm glad that it's back!
I was so focusing on the battles to see if I spotted anything different so I failed to notice something new with UI.

This one's probably my favorite, simply because the first two lines from Snake are gold.
I can understand that. I feel like there's a decent amount of people acting negitive about his chances for just for that reason. If it helps it helps I guess. Me though...
Oh man, I am so happy for this too. There are some things that have come to be a part of Smash's identity and stock heads are one that absolutely make a difference on the HUD.
It's time for Raiden to shine, Snake!
He shone in another game.
Time for playable Otacon.

Honestly they need to get rid of the big picture of the character's face. There's no need for that when we have stock faces. I find it kind of obstructive.I'm sure I noticed this a while ago, but I totally forgot to notice it recently. That's a very awesome and great point.

Really? I haven't seen too much animosity for the Metroid itself, just the shit writing that surrounded it. Though if Adam were playable, the world would burn.
I'm still betting on 6 reps for each of the main franchises, with Pokemon getting Jiggs and Mewtwo, Mario getting Dr. Mario, and Zelda getting Ganondorf and a newcomer.
Adam never authorized you to have that attitude with him!

I rather have captain toad make Dr. Mario an alt.
At least the DS hunters have those alt modes. Anthony and Adam are like Radec from Playstation Allstars, except people liked Killzone 2.Would make as much sense as generic alien soldier from a shitty game.

Oh, not animosity towards the Metroid itself, just towards how Samus constantly says "thebabythebabythebabythebabythebaby"
He'll be hiding with Stealth Camo while pissing on his enemy. Lol.

I can't see us getting two newcomers in the same trailer, yes we got Robin and Lucina but they are the same series/game, and one is a clone. Having Shulk/Takamaru/Marshall/Dixie/whoever together means either we need like a 5 minute video, or both newcomers are going to get shafted for footage
Too much work, I don't expect them to make two complete newcomers. Though I'd rather have that, too.
Takamaru is also a marth clone. So is Dixie. Problem solved.
Make every character a Marth clone. The game is much more fair that way.
