Should We Have DLC for Smash Bros?

     Ladies and gentlemen, the time has finally come. Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 3DS is here! I'm sure that you and just as excited as I am that after years and years of waiting it is finally in our hands. We are treated with a large character roster with a total of over 50 playable characters from Nintendo's history to fight. We also have an impressive selection of stages to choose from. The question is can we have more?
     Back in E3 2013, Director Masahiro Sakurai said in regards to DLC:
"At the current time we have no plans," Sakurai told me. "I consider my job at this point, and my main responsibility, to make the Wii U and 3DS versions the best and the fullest experience possible. That said, once finished, it's the type of thing we could take into consideration, but for now, you could consider DLC as not being in the cards."
That was back in 2013 and of course things and ideas change. Sakurai has also stated that Pacman wouldn't make it in Smash Bros. and yet Pacman is in the game.
     There is the question as well as the possibility that we could be getting DLC in Super Smash Bros. There are reasons that we could. Nintendo has (finally) warmed up to the idea of giving DLC content for its consumers and games. We have gotten a bundle of DLC content in the recent big title like Mario Kart 8, New Super Mario Bros. U and Hyrule Warriors. Why not have DLC in one of the most anticipated game they have of the year. It would almost be a waste, a matter of fact a huge blunder, not to have anything. Having new character and stages as DLC would give the gamers a little something fresh and new after we get tired of playing of Smash Bros. on the 3DS, especially with some of us waiting for the Wii U version. And playing the game on the 3DS feels like something is missing. Maybe DLC can fill that hole. There's also the demand for past characters like Wolf or Mewtwo to comback. People want them back. Them as DLC would be wonderful.

What characters or stages would you want as DLC in the new Smash Bros. except for Ridley, we all know they will never put him in?
