@Oasis_S (#4119): I was just about to come up with Professor Hector's stage. Still, it would be a cool idea for R.O.B. to get his own stage.

Not getting rid of Dark Samus, considering she's not a Samus clone and is one of the most important characters in the Metroid series. I don't care for Lucas. V Joe and PW are just cool additions I wouldn't mind seeing.
Didn't you say that this was a prediction? I am giving you suggestions on how to improve it.
- Why do we need three Metroid rep? This isn't from Sakurai, so he isn't going to pull a Kirby with this franchise. And how would Dark Samus be unique?
- You do realize that Lucas has the starter clause, right? This makes him very likely to come back into the game. And since this is a prediction, understand that there is next to no chance that we get three third-party characters from Capcom.

The only character guaranteed to get cut is Lucario due to 4th Gen not being current. (Same reason Pichu didn't come back) The only other character that deserves to be cut is the Ice Climbers. You can't even make an argument for them to stay in due to their game being cancelled.
I don't think anyone is guarantee to be cut, not even Lucario, as likely as he is. There's always a chance that since I believe we'll get five Pokemon slots next gen, that they'll put one of Zoroark/Victini in the game and put Lucario back in. His chances are not good, but I wouldn't completely rule him out yet.
- How does Ice Climbers deserve to go? They are unique players that no one else has. If we took Ice Climbers away, we would lose a very unique player and many players would be rightfully vexed.
And they are more significant then Earthbound, which has
two reps. If you consider it likely that they'll keep both reps, then surely Ice Climbers whom's one game that sold 1.5 million copies (More then the entire Mother series I'll add) is 95% guarantee to stay.

As much as I don't care for Lucario, I see no reason to axe him. He is established and popular and they slapped a bunch of Mewtwo's moves on him. I could see him being cut if they slapped his moveset onto Zoroark. However, due to Zoroark being of the less mystical variety of pokemon, their movesets are much less interchangeable. Therefore, since Lucario is already a character? Why not bring him back? First gen fans already have plenty of reps. Let Mewtwo go IMHO.
Honestly, as much as I want Mewtwo back, I would also like for Lucario to come back. I'd be satisfied with either options because if Mewtwo comes back to SSB4, he can get the move set he deserves and if Lucario stays, he already has an well established play style. Pokemon IMO deserves more then four next gen.

The 2 DK stages? ARCADE DONKEY KONG AND JUNGLE BEAT! Respect for DKC? I think not. A jungle setting in SSE as well as a similar mechanic hardly counts as evidence of his knowledge and respect. All I'm saying.
Considering that Donkey Kong has only two characters, this is something you should be especially grateful for. There's also a Melee stage from the Donikey Kong series, which shows that Sakurai has knowledge of the series.
Even thought King K. Rool wasn't included in
Donkey Kong Country Returns, I don't think his chances are necessarily bad.

I can't even see Sakurai keeping Lucario just because of pure fan backlash. I guaran-damn-tee you that if Lucario is in Smash 4 the fan reaction will be "Wow! What a COMPLETE waste of a character slot! We don't need this many Pokemon! They should have put in *insert character that didn't make it in because of Lucario*"
At least it gives Sakurai a ways to cut back on time developing a second newcomer. They can simply give us Zoroark/Victini and keep Lucario in, which gives us five Pokemon reps. Haven't you considered that.
Also, I would be one of those people who would be glad if they kept Lucario in.

Sonic 2006 is an example of what happens if Sega doesn't let Nintendo join in with the development. Old rivalries die hard it seems.
Where is your proof that the only good Sonic games nowadays that Nintendo helps with? Nintendo did nothing to help
Sonic Unleashed for the Wii and I found it to be great.
