So, scope of 20-24.
6 confirmed.
Marth, Chrom, 4 OCs.
3 "all-but"
Corrin, Lobster, Xander.
9/20-24.
5 I can't see not making it in.
Tiki, Robin, Tharja, Camilla, and Takumi. I feel like all of these are self-explanatory.
14/20-24, leaving 6-10 left. No lance users or true villains so far.
Camus, Medeus, and Garon all seem villains to get in. Camus being an archetype-establisher, lance user, and one of the more popular of Marth's games. Medeus being og villain (and final boss of TMS#Fe) and grand draconic finale. Garon has the big bulking axe user niche and a middle ground in evil of the other two.
Cordelia, being high in popularity and a pegasus knight, seems like a high likelihood.
A variant of usable Anna... is something I fear is gonna be overlooked.
Lucina, despite raw popularity... feels a little off to predict for some reason. I feel like likeness to both Marth and Chrom in bits and pieces leads her to be skipped or at least held off for another time.

and
![Roy :4feroy: :4feroy:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
seem like perfect heralds for DLC.
Lyn and Hector seem like perfect heralds of a sequel.
Alm and Celica are somewhere between.
