Post-Direct Thoughts

Who do you think remains as far as new fighters are concerned? Share your thoughts.

Personally, I think, best chance scenario, in order of likelihood in both categories:

Newcomers:
1. Geno -------------------- esp. considering the Smash4 Mii costume, he has among the best chance for a Square Enix rep, and third parties seem to be up this time
2. Springman ------------- a new Nintendo fighting IP, so kind of makes sense
3. Incineroar ------------- a new and unique Pokemon
4. Karate Joe ------------- rumors say Rhythm Heaven has been considered before and the theorized reference in K. Rool's trailer is striking
5. Rayman --------------- if there's a Ubisoft rep, it's him, plus he seems like he'd fit in Smash

Echo Fighters:
1. Shadow (Sonic) ----------- everyone wants him and this game seems to be doing fan service; also, Richter means third party echoes are possible
2. Isabelle (Villager) ---------- it's rumored and she's a fan favorite
3. Alph (Olimar) -------------- he's already an alt, but alt characters seem to be gone besides male & female swaps
4. Ribbon Girl (Springman) -- if Springman is in, she's an easy add, and they can be 'introduced' together like the Belmonts

Shadow easy popular echo

Isabelle same as shadow

Black shadow echo for falcon, as ganon is different enough now

Porky I really think Smash is going to put more rivals in the gamenow, and porky has two mechs to choose from, also had some attacks made in sub space back in brawl, Character is probably more fit and probably easy to be upgraded to fighter than most might think

Geno, the man himself wants him, fans want him, was cut from brawl? Costume back in four already have some rights to use the character,
