I voted for three more DLC characters and a character during the August update (Wolf). However, I honestly did that prior to understanding what "the August update" was. So, you should probably discard one of those votes. Sorry.

I am thinking we will get three more characters if "several" ends up being correct and not just a mistranslation. I probably should say two but I'm going to choose the optimistic route here.
It could go either way, but since we are likely done with pre-ballot DLC characters, I'd imagine we'll get tournament mode and other updates. I expect that the next DLC character will be shown in October because Nintendo will want something to show for the ballot and so will the fans. Last thing Nintendo needs is more bad publicity and assumptions that the ballot is a fraud.

My answers for the poll:
1: 4 more DLC characters.
2: Yes, and it will be Wolf
3: August.
1: 4 more DLC characters.
2: Yes, and it will be Wolf
3: August.

4, Wolf, August. I think 5 is possible, but my bets are on 4 right now.

Naginata indeed fits Impa better than the Biggorn Sword, but I think both would make for an awesome character. I had a composite Impa as an idea for a while, her being based on both Skyward Sword and Hyrule Warriors, and her summoning both the naginata and Biggorron Sword in her moveset, but them being elemental weapons. Much like how Greninja does it currently. It was also an idea Chrom supporters used to have, with Chrom being a character switching between his main weapons, Swords and Lances.
I could see Impa as an ideal stance character. Picture her with a stance that has the magical properties of Zelda, and the offensive agility of Sheik, and give her a middle of the road- stance that's more defensive than both. That would repersent Impa the Sage (Zelda-based style), her being a Sheikah (Sheik-based style) and her being Zelda's bodyguard / caretaker (guardian / monk-like stance).
With defensive stance / guardian / monk-like styles, I envision a character who fights with mostly palms and handchops, kinda like Wang, from Tekken.
Her having such a fighting style would empower her character, as it's a style of fighting that could fit the classic archetype of "Sage" especially with magical attacks involved in there somewhere. Her having a dual role in Skyward Sword as an old woman also is fitting with this, and her being a time traveller could even perhaps lead to time-related attacks? Like, slowing down time with a Special move for example.
There's also the Deku Nut, which used to be an item in Brawl but was removed for some reason. I could see that item make for a nice attack for Impa to.
I believe she still has solid chances. She and Dixie Kong seem the most likely pre-ballot characters to me.

Voted 4 more. Not overly optimistic. Not too negative.
Voted No. Just Tournament mode and stages. I'd love to be wrong but if Sakurai has said that's it for pre-ballot I'm going in with low expectations.
Voted December Hype. Due to not thinking Wolf will be a thing as pre-ballot at least, December seems optimistic on my part for post ballot DLC.

How do I fix my keyboard settings on my pc with just using the keyboard itself? Because my stupid pc somehow changed the setting by itself, it suddenly started with my mouse responding woth scrolling as if I wanted to enlarge the screen. Then, pressing keys as b, or o, or whatever started to open new tabs and windows, so I reseted the damn thing and now I can't even enter my password to actually enter the pc. How the **** do I fix this? I was just enjoying my music, now this **** happens...

Is there a third-party poll too? You have a link to it?

I feel like four is the safest bet but I don't think up to six is unrealistic either. I do think we're going to get at least two people from the Smash Ballot. You know who I think they should? K. Rool, Isaac, and Krystal? Why? Because with those three, you pretty much appease the last remaining major "long term" fanbases (aside from Ridley and Geno) which have had Smash supporters as far back as 2002. K. Rool and Isaac are unmistakably in the top 5 while Krystal is likely in top 20 and top 10 if you only consider first/second party characters. Back on topic, I still we'll be getting at least two by the end of the year and another two by next spring.
I think the August update will likely just be the stages, modes, and more Mii costumes but I could easily see them pulling a "and now, for a special announcement" hoogabadoo at the end of the presentation like they did with Mewtwo (Oct 2014), Lucas (April 2015), and Ryu (pre E3 2015). At the very least, I think October is guaranteed (and the votes are in *but really, 70% of the votes came in April so we knew what we were going to do by May anyways*) with November/December being very likely too for that sweet, sweet holiday cash grab.
I'm still confident about Wolf and the Ice Climbers at some point but I don't know when. Wolf is such a +1 at this point that they'd be stupid not to make him DLC. They could wait until closer to Star Fox Zero to build hype or they could just get it out of the way.

, when you ask when will we get a character next, do you mean an announcement or download?

I'm ruling out this being in any way an accurate representation of even just the American Ballot results.

I guess someone has brought that up before, but I don't really see him as a contender: too much competition, Captain Toad, Paper Mario and Daisy are more popular and he might be too big as well. He would be a perfect stage boss though.
EDIT: However, if you want to play as Petey in a game like Smash Bros, you should consider downloading Super Smash Bros. Crusade, it has Petey as a playable character.

People feel that if it's going to be a Boss from Mario (that isn't Bowser or Bowser jr with the Koopalings) it'll be King Boo first.
If it's going to be a Mario character then there's Paper Mario and Captain Toad.

He's barely bigger than Bowser in spin-offs.
His head, however, definitely is too big (TFW Petey blocks the view of the other driver. #JustDoubleDashThings)
Maybe when Sunshine gets remade, but as of now, he's the relic of the Mario GameCube era.
Though he has had some appearances after that here and there as well.
I'd main him, how bad he sucks, as I even made a moveset of him that imagines him as a Ganondorf/Snake crossover.
Basically he'd be very powerful, pitfully slow, with a few projectiles that act the same way as Petey himself (big, slow, kills at 20%)
He could also have the Goop mechanic where these projectiles spread goop that damage opponents as if flowered.
Maybe even have some influences from other Piranha Plant-types. (Or outright plant them for stage control possiblities)
Better than Inkling I tell ya.

Hopefully not.

Probably. He is playable in the fangame Super Smash Bros. Crusade alongside fellow Mario hopefuls Toad, Waluigi and...that... frigging puppet.

I think we're getting four characters at least.
I expect a character to be announced in the next Direct, for release in October.
It will probably be Wolf.
Not used to predicting dates so I'll probably be WAY off lol.

There used to be a strong hate-base against Petey Piranha cause the plant just kept appearing everywhere in the GameCube / early Wii era. Then he took a long break, but he's back in Mario & Luigi + Paper Mario (forgot the game title) so that's a good sign. I think Petey would work quite well in Smash actually. But it's not like he's 'deserving' of the spot. If Toad was a possibility, I'd want him before Petey. And also Paper Mario, as I still think that character is wicked cool even though I don't actively support him anymore.

I'm slightly annoyed they didn't implement the bosses from SSE as Assist Trophies or, indeed, bosses.
Galleom was pretty cool because he looked like a Mega Man boss, and Petey Piranha, Rayquaza and Porky were really cool ideas and they should have been implemented in some way.

Rayquaza is a stage hazard in Kalos Pokemon League.

By the way, I think the four DLC characters are going to be Wolf, King K. Rool, Isaac, and Inkling. In that order.

And I thought Rayquaza couldn't get less intimidating after Brawl... Wrong all along.

That game looks pretty bad. I think Super Smash Flash 2 is much better. (Petey Piranha isn't playable in said game, but you can almost literally control who is DLC, so If you have the time to make the sprites, and moveset, you could have a Goomba be DLC. Not that anyone would want a Goomba...)
Anyway, I think Petey Piranha would be awkward as a fighter, and on top of this, I don't think he will be very interesting either. I think we should get Toad, Paper Mario, and King Boo first.

Then Mega Rayquaza happened, a being so powerful he was banned from the banlist

Not in Smash 4 unfortunately. Mario already has too much on its plate in this game, to the point that a DLC Mario character seems unlikely as it is, and there's a heck of a competition - Paper Mario, Capt. Toad, Daisy, etc. all want a share of the pie.
