Ryu Habuysa?!?! Ninja Gaiden DS exist so it's possible!
While I can understand while a Ninja Gaiden fan would be very pleased with something like this, you need to go back to our stop whining episode. Think about the greater meaning of adding a character like that to the game. All these popular suggestions made by people are essentialy "guy with sword" or "guy with gun". There are plenty of guys with swords and guns in the game already. At least Link, a guy with a sword, has more interesting things to offer besides just stabbing. And Solid Snake has some cool moves to offer besides just shooting.
When considering what characters you would like to see, don't just knee-jerk and pick your favorites. You might think you want them, but you don't really want them. You don't realize that adding these characters will actually just clog up the game and make it worse. That was the mistake of MVC2. Sure, lots of characters was awesome, but so many of them were useless, and not very different. Also, maintaining balance with so many choices becomes impossible.
Judging by the previous Smash Bros. games, I trust the character selection will be top-notch, and will result in the best game possible under the circumstances. Also, its ok for your people to have your fantasies about what characters you would like to see. I just want to promote more game design consciousness, and encourage people to actually make thoughtful suggestions, instead of just pointlessly blurting out their knee-jerk fantasies.

Ryu would be the light and fast weapon based character. Link is a slower ranged based weapon character and Ike is the mid weight and speed weapon character. You use several weapons in Ninja Gaiden, but if I had to make a guess he would use the twin dragon swords to keep with the light and fast theme. Ryu's final smash is obviously Ninpo. Ninja Gaiden was on the NES and now on the DS which lends credibility for his inclusion. There isn't a ninja in Super Smash and you gotta have a ninja for fighting games. Possible ninjas would be Taki from Soul Caliber who obviously isn't family friendly, and Goemon from Legend of the Mystical Ninja who doesn't have a DS game out that needs cross promotion.
I can't wait for the SubSpace story-mode, so I can pair Sonic with Zero Suit Samus! Their blueness will fling you off screen!
Blue screen of death!
Sorry, had to say it.
EDIT: Also, now that I think about it. Samus becomes Zero Suit Samus if she grabs that Final Smash ball thing. What happens if Zero Suit Samus to grab a Final Smash ball? Ideas?

Hopefully her armor wont fall off again. ;0
Sorry for bad joke.
A thought occurred to me today as I was weighing the costs and benefits of buying a Wii for this game (yes, this looks to be "that game" for me): What if they set this game up with one slot filled by a generic fighter, with arbitrarily-assigned special moves, whose appearance was based on your Wii's "favorite" Mii? How likely do you all think that might be?
I'm actually kind of glad they delayed it. With their latest round of announcements, I can clearly say that as of this holiday season, the drought will be over for both Wii and DS. More on this Tuesday.

Where's the verb?
Why is my sense of humor so stupid today?
What's the best news? You can use a Game Cube controller to play the game!!!
