It's no secret that Nintendo wants to surprise us with the reveal of new characters, but why do you think they announced the veterans they did? Here's my theory.
Mario, Link, Kirby, and Pikachu have always been the first characters revealed, so I don't consider that a sign of anything. But the other confirmed veterans are Donkey Kong, Fox, Samus, Bowser, and Pit. To me, Samus, Donkey Kong, and Fox, being part of the original 12 are probably there just to show off new models.
But here's where the speculation begins: The currently revealed newcomers (Mega Man, Villager, and Wii Fit Trainer) were not dependent on any other characters, making their reveal easy. But most newcomers are dependent on other characters. This leads me to think that the next newcomers will be Bowser Jr. and Palutena (or another Kid Icarus rep if Pit's Final Smash remains the same). King K. Rool and Ridley are in the same boat, but Bowser and Pit stand out as not being part of the original 12.
Also, since Wario wasn't shown, that leads me to think that if Waluigi makes an appearance, he'll be unlockable.
Do you guys agree with my speculation?
