Considering your roster and the choices listed, I'd go with Isaac.

Well there's a lot of Palutena talk going on lately.
Everyone expects Palutena but I think Takamaru's chances at being shown off are very high as well.
He's the underdog of the Direct and I want to see him showcased more.
That being said if you do Palutena I'll be happy too. :)
Eh, I'll just do both so everybody can be happy. :p

But you guys, Sakurai doesn't like 2nd parties...silent protagonists...characters with western popularity...scarves.

He seemed to love Phosphora's scarf.

On another note...
Here's my likeliness chart for the Direct:

1. Palutena - Yeah, yeah, no big surprise. But there's so much going in Palutena's favor that it's almost impossible not to expect her at this point, and revealing her now would be great. With the new Kid Icarus stage, a new item, and some extra KI content in there soon before and after Mac's reveal, Sakurai has been setting up Palutena's reveal for a while now.

2. Takamaru - Nazo No Murasamejou's anniversary is around the corner, and it's about time we get to see our token retro. Takamaru is a great counter for Little Mac's pure American-ness, and I had speculated his reveal ever since Mac's.

3. Mii - I had Chrom here, but people make good points about Mii. Sakurai can finally have a good chat about them and change some opinions. Also, the reveal of Mii seems to be getting close too, we just haven't noticed because of our Palutena hype.

4. Chrom - Yeah personally the only way I saw this happening is later in the month, closer to the actual anniversary of Fire Emblem. Of course we usually get Iwata Directs every two months, and if this isn't an official Direct then we can very well see Chrom at a later date.

5. Ridley - More E3 material. Personally I don't see anyone but those four.

The top three predictions of @ Louie G. Louie G. appear solid. The first two have nothing to advertise yet are not great E3 options, Palutena is Sakurai's baby, Takamaru has the potential to become Sakurai's baby by virtue of being redesigned by him, and the Mii may require more explanation than the average newcomer.

Yoshi is going to show up when and only when it's time to promote one of his games. Calling it (a crazy prediction, I know :p).

Looks like we've got an undisputed winner.

Hopefully there won't be many complaints with this roster now that the main issue is gone.

I still firmly believe Yoshi will be revealed at E3.
No earlier than that (Yoshi's New Island is being released in Japan around Summer. So what better time to reveal him than the biggest video game event out there?).

I don't understand why people don't seem to realize it's very unlikely Yoshi is being held back from being revealed "just because" and therefore won't just be revealed randomly, or when any other veteran could be revealed in his place.

He's got two games coming up. The majority of notable games so far have had character promotion. Chances are Yoshi will be the only character capable of promoting those games. It's not such a stretch to see what he's being held back for.

jk. Looks good man for the most part. Any criticism I'd have would just amount to 'my opinions are better than your opinions."

It's mainly got to do with the fact people are just tired of waiting for him to be revealed.

Don't know, I really love Captain Falcon and I can still stomach waiting months for his reveal.

It's more like people are impatient.
