Of the original 12, we’re just missing Ness and Jigglypuff, and I don’t see them getting dropped. Also, Mr. Game & Watch was semi-confirmed in Pac-Man’s reveal and Takamaru’s an Assist Trophy. With all that said, LIST TIME!
Other veterans I see making a return:
Wario
Ice Climbers
Ganondorf
Falco
Meta Knight

Veterans I feel have a small chance of returning: |
|
Snake (yes, Kojima DID want him in Melee, but I dunno if he wants him in this one) |
R.O.B. (he was unique enough to warrant a return, but he seems like a longshot) |
Wolf (we already have Falco for a Fox clone) |
Mewtwo (unless they completely rework him, I don’t see him coming back, plus he was basically replaced by Lucario) |
|
Newcomers I see getting in:
Rayman (the fact that Ubisoft sent in a brand new model of him says enough to me)
Shulk (Xenoblade Chronicles did really well despite its limited printing and is getting a sequel)
Zael (The Last Story also did really well, in fact it’s XSeed’s best selling game)
Adam Malkovich (because Sakurai’s a fucking troll and I can him putting Mr. Authorize in over Ridley)
|
|
Newcomers I feel have a small chance of making the cut: |
|
Ridley (see Adam) |
K. Rool (yes, we have Kremlings in Smash Run on the 3DS version, but that’s |
Aeron (he does have a good set of weapons, but Pandora’s Tower just isn’t as well received as Xenoblade or Last Story) |
