You know who I'm talking about. The Ice Climbers, the Pokemon Trainer, and perhaps others. This is the topic for these types of characters. Talk about wish-lists, ideas, and the announced characters, too. Even Zelda/Shiek counts. I suppose I mean characters that don't need an item to have multiple identities.
Personally, I think Duos could be more prevalent in this game. I could foresee a Diddy/Dixie duo, a Baby Mario/Luigi duo, and perhaps a few more. The Diddy-Dixie combo would work a bit like Zelda would, but with a unique twist. Both Diddy and Dixie would be quick, very lightweight characters. I suppose a B attack would switch between the two, and whoever is not active goes into the background. For balance issues, they probably would share the same damage counter, but the twist would be that both would need to be KO'ed in order for the player to lose a stock. The A-button attacks would be the same between both characters, but the B-button attacks would vary.
For Baby Mario and Luigi, the character would function more as a team than any duo before. You control Mario and the CPU follows, but a difference is that Luigi cannot attack on his own. He whines when separated, and when thrown off the level, FlyGuys automatically bring him back from the point of where he would die. Baby Mario's attacks greatly depend on Luigi, though, and if separated, he is weakened and all his attacks would be incomplete. Up+B would be Yoshi-copter. Final smash is all of the Yoshi transformations and all of the Baby Mario characters from Yoshi's Island 2 attack in pairs or something. I think they'd be pretty fun to play as.
And of course, we'd need an in-battle summoning character. I'd say Captain N would be awesome, but that's a little out there. He fights, but all his specials summon Nintendo characters to attack quickly. Perhaps they could be GB-exclusive characters, though I can't think of any right now. He'd summon them with a Game Boy, of course. I suppose one could be the Queen Metroid from Metroid 2. Of course, everything would be 8-bit as summons. Another could be a Rick, from Kirby's Dream Land 2.
I'm sorry, but Brawl can't be the last Smash Brothers. There's just too much left they can do.
