Remember is my opinion on this review.

Best:

5: Mega Man -  You can send out a tornatle for the up aerial attack.  His down smash is the best for his smash attack.  Those movesets do make since for someone like him.  I loves the idea of his final smash that fires a large laser with other version of Mega Man that could instantly kill an opponent.  My only problem with him is his side smash get easily reflected by those fighters that uses reflectors for side and/or down special especially Fox.  And the Leaf shield is unless, it’s useful only for defenses from light projectiles.

4 Rosalina & Luma -  She could bring items and disappear with his down B and she could bring Luma as for a shield.  And she has a good recovery.  Those moves make since if she was going to fight but sadly she never lays a fist in the Mario game, but she still is a good newcomer.  The problems is that she can’t do her side special without Luma and it doesn’t do anything good.  Rosalina’s final smash is worse than Jigglypuffs.  That doesn’t do any good hitting to enemies unless if there really close.  But no one is going to get close.

3: Shulk - He can switch with the normal b button between higher Smash, High Jump, Fast Speed, Shield, and buster (Strength I believe).  And his arial do fit for him.  His down special counter is great but slow.  I even love his down smash, it more a short tornado with a strong hit.  He moves sometimes slow when he attacks.  I don’t know what purpose to use the back slash attack.  His final smash is good but his range if it is too short.

2: Cloud (DLC) - Another great 3rd Party character.  He attack percent fits good for him.  He can kill an enemy with one hit pressing the down special when he limits are full.  He does one of the best Meteor Smash with his forward and down arials.  His is the best 3rd party swordsmen that has ever come to this fighting game.  I think have the inclusion of him is better than Snakes.  My only problem with him is that his recovery is worst than Marth’s/Lucina’s recovery (At least he can wall jump.)

1: Bowser Jr/Koopalings –  I love how creative that Sakurai did for Bowser’s son and the koopalings.  I even the love the idea of how the recovery of side and up special works.  His poped out of his clown car at first up and then it explodes.  I love how high his up special goes.  There moves do fit for them.   My only problem with him is that his final smash just get enemies flying around anywhere without knocking them out when there are an high percentage..

Not everything is perfect.

I use those characters as for my punching bag in training mode.  Why? Because there horrible.  So, here are my list of my top 5 worst SSB4 fighters.

Worst:

Some times I like to play as this characters.  But there somethings that gives me the sort thumb about him.

5: Little Mac –  It also cool that his finish off an opponent with a tab of a button when his KO meteor is filled.   Worst of all is his recovery and his airal attacks are absolutely terrible.  His side and up special is the only good for attack.  That side special attack is more like a suicide when he’s on air.  His final smash is great but it only goes for a short amount of time.  It’s better off not to play as him for online mode.

I think that Animal Crossing characters do not make sense in a fighting game.

4:Villager -  His Arial moves sucks.  His side smash is so low range.  His up and down smash attacks are are soo weak that they don’t do anything for smashing high or low.  It’s only good for when the enemy tries to go back.  The only good thing about is his/hers pocket move, his recovery, grab, and final smash.  I’m sorry he’s really disappointing. I prefer Takamaru, or even an single ice climber to be added as a fighter more than him.  At least Wii fit Trainer proves to be someone that could fight.

3: Lucario - His attack only get stronger when his percentage goes high but it only goes to highest like 25%.  His counter for his down special is weak that you only hit back small percent at the opponents.  Side special is good only for a grab (What point of this attack).  You can’t even Meteor smash on someone with this Pokémon fighter.  The only good thing about him is his regular special and his final smash.  Mewtwo should of come back in the first place not him.  Any Gen 4 Pokémon that’s better than him.

2: Olimar - You just relay with Pikmans.  He side and down smash can be easily reflected.  They are relectable just like Mega Man’s side smash.  Why not bring the Rock Pikman attack for his side smash attack but unreflectable.  I’m sorry but I think he’s still weak fighter; his recovery does do any justice except when you have three.  At least he’s not like in Brawl.  The only good thing is his final smash.  It’s better for Alph to be a skin costume of him.

They have some original moves unlike my most complaint of all in this roster:

Number 1: Any clone fighter – Falco, Lucina, Toon Link, Dr. Mario, Dark Pit, Ganondolf, Roy Really?  Lucina, Falco, Toon Link, and Dr. Mario make since for there original fighter’s skin. Ganondorf has original moves in the Zelda game but instead make him a stronger version of Captain Falcon(At least SSB Crusade proved it) . That also takes always chances like Isaac(Golden Sun), Chibi-robo (Special thanks to Super Smash Flash 2), Dixie Kong, Snivy, Zoroark, Chrom, or even Inkings from Spilitoon for DLC.  I will ratter see Dark Pit attacking with his staff weapon with semi copied moves (Including recovery).  As he could shoot a charge shot when your not pressing b button alone for few seconds.  As he could reflect projectiles with his normal attack with his weapons and bring back Pit’s old side special from Brawl.  But no, he has to be a seperate copy and paste of Pit inserting a different final smash which it came from Zelda/Sheik (I agree that clone of Pit never uses the great secret treasure, be he usually use his staff in the game when your not playing as him).   Wolf from Star Fox attacks even differently than Fox; he was even less of a clone than Falco.  What a Shame!

I guess we can’t have a perfect roster what everyone hoped, unless it’s on the PC made by fans.  (The gameplay, physics, and graphics are not as good as the official version.  But I like Super Smash Bros. Crusade over SSF2)

We least we have a solid game with solid graphics.  This is all I have to say.  This is ASoulOfVirgoBoy signing out.

I know it's your opinion and all, but I feel like a lot of it is based on misconceptions. Like for my main, Lucario, here's my responses:

"His attack only get stronger when his percentage goes high but it only goes to highest like 25%" 

Actually it caps off at 190%. By that point, you're a faster version of Bowser.

"His counter for his down special is weak that you only hit back small percent at the opponent"

At high percents, it can kill multiple people. You can shield against it though, but that's near impossible unless they predict it, and because it's a counter, predicting it is also near impossible. Also, you can choose which direction you'll reappear from by pressing the control stick

"Side special is good only for a grab (What point of this attack)"

Distancing yourself from Fox mains yelling "20XX" while they destroy you with shine combos. Quite useful, actually.

On the other hand, he seriously needs a meteor smash.

And as for everything else: 

Villager's side smash is projectile that drops off ledges, which ironically means it has the most range, Mr. Game and Watch also does not make sense for a fighting game character (and neither does ROB), and clones exist so people can play super popular characters differently (and most of them actually do have major differences that are only noticeable when grinding for hours practicing for competitions)
