Add somebody to Smash for each letter of the alphabet

[Zapp Branniglenn]

Seems like every other day there's a new poll thread asking which character you want added to Smash under some incredibly arbitrary set of rules or suggestions. And this thread is no different. Imagine you get to put 26 brand new characters into the next Smash Bros, but they must match the letters of the alphabet. Some characters happen to go by several names, like Doctor Eggman or Doctor Robotnik. That's an E or an R pick, maybe even a D if you think the title of 'Doctor' is that crucial to their name. The only rule I suggest is to use an officially recognized name for that character. You can be cute, but don't make up stuff like "Undertale Man" to refer to Sans or something like that.

What's that? You're having trouble thinking of characters who start with specific letters? Well, a sophisticated gamer like myself would have no need of this, but here's a database of character names organized by letter. It's not every character in existence, but it's certainly a lot of noteworthy ones.

Sure, I'll play. (With series names included because whenever I read through other people's lists for this sort of thing, I always think "who even is that?" for half the entries.)

• Alex Kidd (Alex Kidd series)
• Birdo (Mario series)
• Chun-Li (Street Fighter series)
• Dixie Kong (Donkey Kong series)
• E. Gadd (Mario series)
• Frog (Chrono Trigger)
• Ganon (demon pig form) (Zelda series)
• Mike Haggar (Final Fight series)

These range from "actually my most wanted character" to "I've never even played their game but couldn't think of anyone else". I also tried to keep to at least vaguely realistic options, except for awkward letters where all bets were off.
