I've decided to make another debate/poll on this site. Here, I'll post characters I want to see in Smash Bros 5 whenever it gets released. I'd also like to know which characters you'd like to see in Smash 5. Here's my list of characters I want to see and what game they're from:
Ridley (Metroid)
Krystal (Star Fox Adventures)
Paper Mario (Paper Mario)
Kyubi (Yo-kai Watch)
Impa (Hyrule Warriors)
Those are 5 I feel like have a pretty good chance of being in a 5th Smash Bros game. Do you think these characters are good to add? Let me know in the comments. Down there you'll also see my reasoning/defense for my list.

Arguments
Ridley is the main villain of Metroid and the nemesis of Samus. Many people want him, but the closest Ridley got was a boss fight in Brawl and Smash Wii U. Currently, the only Metroid characters in Smash Bros are Samus and Samus (Power Suit and Zero Suit). It would add a bit more variety into the Metroid series roster. The main problem however, is that Ridley's pretty big. He could get a bit overpowered.
I've come up with 3 possible solutions to this; 1) Scale Ridley to a comfortable size. This probably won't happen. The reason why they scaled Olimar (Olimar being a few inches tall) was likely because in comparison to everything else, his world is big. 2) Have Ridley as a playable boss, forcing him to have a stamina bar instead of the usual percent. If they decide to go that route, Master Hand might be a playable character. 3) Have Ridley be the first giant character. Even as a playable boss, Ridley would probably leave openings with a wide attack range.
Krystal comes from Star Fox Adventures, and is Fox McCloud's love interest. The main reason I want her is because I think the Star Fox series could use a bit of variety in its move sets; something other than blasters and reflectors. Krystal's staff would do nicely. I haven't played Star Fox Adventures and I haven't watched an entire playthrough for information for her move set, but I'll eventually come up with one.
Paper Mario comes from a game series called, well, Paper Mario. It's an RPG style game that takes place in the Mushroom Kingdom, but in a world made of paper and cardboard. With the ability to fold into different forms and common use of a hammer, Paper Mario would have plenty of move set potential. In Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, Paper Mario introduces the ability to make copies of himself to become stronger. This could be another function in Smash Bros.
Kyubi is from Yo-kai Watch; a monster collecting game where you send Yo-kai to fight other Yo-kai. It's pretty popular in Japan, so I have a feeling one Yo-kai will get in Smash 5. The most probable one would have to be Kyubi, the nine tailed fox. He was the mascot for Yo-kai Watch 2: Fleshy Souls, and I overall feel he has a better shot than Bony Spirit's Venoct. Kyubi's move set can involve tail smacks and fire, as well as some slashes and a stun attack.
Impa's been around in Legend of Zelda for a while. She's the only true Sheikah we see (Sheik doesn't count). Her greatest appearance was Hyrule Warriors, which she wields a fiery Naginata (a spear-like weapon) and a big sword which contains water powers. A move set should be very easy as Impa has plenty of attacks in Hyrule Warriors, plus people want her in Smash Bros.
So what do you guys think?
