## Eshmel
The writer wants Eshmel to join Smash Bros without being another Byleth, preferring their unique fighting style and trident class.

> Not when Eshmel has a unique fighting style (that almost certainly points to their identity in a former life)
## Peppe
Peppe is too weak and hard to recruit for Smash Bros, but could be fun if his kit leans into memes and speed.

> The kid just can't catch a break pre- or post-timeskip! He's the fastest little thing in the world, but his horrendous strength puts him on par with a gnat in terms of combat potential.
## Cai
Cai has a godly spear and can summon ornius dinosaurs for mobility, making him a strong candidate for Smash Bros.

> He can summon ornius dinosaur-birds for his mobility skill and trample anyone who gets in the way.
## Goliath
Goliath is the ideal big dude in armor for Smash Bros, offering tank-like abilities without being too similar to existing characters.

> Give us a Big Guy and make them a tank like Bowser or even Donkey Kong.
## Dante
Dante is a character the writer likes for Smash Bros, but no specific role is mentioned.

> I just like Dante. I think she's neat.
## Fabio
Fabio is the best Fire Emblem character for Smash Bros due to his aggressive magic and unique special moves.

> If there can only ever be one more Fire Emblem character in any Smash Bros. game, it has to be Fabio.
## Key takeaway

The writer recommends Eshmel, Peppe, Cai, Goliath, Dante, and Fabio for inclusion in the next Smash Bros game based on their unique abilities and potential impact.
