Seriously dude, you shouldn't be so invested in particular characters you speculated about appearing in this game. Instead look at the broader picture of awesome Nintendo characters already in this. I mean, even just going back to basics, a fighting game with Mario, DK, Link, Samus, Yoshi, Fox, Kirby, and Pikachu is pretty awesome for a big Nintendo fan! We are in the upper 30s of confirmed characters so far from all corners of the Nintendo universe, and it seems likely we have another 10ish coming yet. Perosnally, I think most of them are pretty cool just in themselves, and even for the handful I really don't care about "as characters" at all, they tend to have awesome gameplay stuff to make up for it. Like... I couldn't care less about Palutena as a character, but she has a move in which she summons a giant laser pillar. Miis are lame sure, but Mii Gunner has a gun arm and fires it like a gatling gun (definitely going to have to make a Barret Mii!). I mostly play these games from a more competitive standpoint looking at how much I love the gameplay dynamics, but even from the shoes of just being a Nintendo fan, I don't see how I could be disappointed in this roster.
