Gee, how can someone be "interesting" enough to get in? That case is clearly subjective and I totally disagree
I agree that the series needs more villainous reps, but I can't really come up with some. Bowser Jr., Ridley, Dark Samus, and Samurai Goroh are some of the notable ones.
Dark Samus is basically Samus on Phazon, so she'd probably have a very similar moveset, although her Phazon-based attacks have significant differences in Echoes. I wouldn't be opposed to that though, since I've always wanted to try that giant Phazon Super Missile....Dry-Petey said:

I honestly see no idea how Ridley would work unless he is shrunk. Look at how big he is in Brawl compared to the other characters. He takes up quite a bit of the screen. If any villain should be represented for Metroid, it should probably be Dark Samus, albeit likely being a clone character (better than nothing).
I see no way any Pikmin villains getting in as fighters. Probably no Pikmin newcomers in general, at least not from the current two games unless we want clones.
If any Zelda villain were to get in, it'd more than likely be Vaati or maybe Cole and Byrnn.
I haven't played enough F-Zero, so I guess I'll go with everyone on Samurai Goroh.
K.Rool would likely be the only villain to represent the DK series. We don't need another clone (Dixie) though.

@Gamefreak75: What makes you think that Dixie Kong will be a clone? She can't exactly copy Diddy Kong. Regarding Ridley, if Bowser can be resized, Ridley should easily be no problem. Besides, Giga Bowser is playable as a Final Smash in Brawl, and he's about as tall as Brawl Ridley, if not taller.

I personally think that 1 or even 2 Mario series newcomers are inviteable in the upcoming Smash Bros.. The Mario series is easily Nintendo's flagship franchise, and since Brawl it has went through quite a bit of development. Not to mention that the series even lost a rep during the transition from Melee to Brawl.
DK, Diddy, Yoshi, and Wario on the other hand do not count as Mario reps. They got in due to the merits of their own series. The only one that can be considered close to a Mario rep is Yoshi, and even he is only there as a result of his own series.
If anything, both Toad and Bowser Jr. are the best bets for a Mario newcomer. Both play notable roles in the Super Mario Bros. titles, and are also common sights in the spin-offs. Both characters are also highly demanded as well for SSB4.

doing whatever since 2011
I would sacrifice Diddy Kong for Toad. I don't want any more Mario character because they outnumbered the other characters in Brawl, and it's starting to feel like a Mario game.Propeller Toad said:

Actually there's not really any chance that they would put characters from the Crash Bandicoot series in SSB before stuff like Mega Man or more Sonic or Metal Gear characters. Even if they did it would be Crash himself instead of a villain and even that is very unlikely.

It's not that unlikey since Activison could ask Nintendo to put Crash in

If four reps can be considered to be "loads" then perhaps so...
One has to take into account that the more well known franchises are the ones that will be attracting more people towards the game. Generally, it is the aspect of the new characters that attract the most people towards a new Smash Bros. game.
Mario and Pokemon are definitely among the biggest franchises, and are likely the ones that people are expecting reps from since potential reps are still available.

Well Mario (Not including sub-series), Zelda, and Pokemon all got 4 characters. Of course they're going to have quite a bit of representation in the roster. They're Nintendo's flagship franchises.

I was suprised Metroid didn't get more

Well technically it did....Sakurai and his team considered Zero Suit Samus as a separate character for Brawl.
However, you are right. Metroid does deserve a new rep, and Ridley does deserve it by now. Metroid may not be as big as the other major franchises; however, it does deserve one true newcomer.
The problem with Metroid in Smash Bros. is that the series (or most of the well-reputed games in the series) are based off the idea of having one character controlled by the player crashing on an alien planet with orders from a benevolent (pretend Other M and Fusion didn't happen for the duration of that statement, please) group to destroy dangerous lifeforms on the planet or something like that. There are few or no friendlies, usually no NPCs aside from bosses (except for the aforementioned exceptions, along with Corruption), and a large, expansive game world to explore.
There aren't many options for including Metroid characters aside from Ridley that would transfer well. Dark Samus would be fine, but would likely be a clone of Samus unless they broke Metroid canon. Metroid Prime itself would be fun, except for the fact that it'd be impossible to knock off and invulnerable except in highly difficult access areas. Mother Brain would be another, but its bipedal form doesn't have enough to use as attacks without being overpowered.
