Main reason why I mentioned her as a bias character, I think she has a realistic chance and with enough fan support she could make it in.
That this not suggest that a Star Fox character won't return though, if you're perfectly fine with me keeping Toon Link why should I remove a semi-clone character? We also can't be sure if he was just referring to the brawl cast or was referring to
every playable character that has been playable in a Smash game (Yes, this includes Pichu and Young Link too).
I personally highly doubt that we'll see anything below Fourty and seeing as they want to add as many as possible I think we can get the 45 / 46 character roster. Have a little more faith.
I don't know, I still don't think that they should go past Metroid in terms of playable characters (But then again we were going to see three in the previous game). I'm fully aware that Fire Emblem: Awakening must have a large presence in the game, but if it is enough to warrant a character inclusion and even possibly replace Ike if it gets to the point where that might need to happen we'll see.
I wouldn't say that I'm very much in favor of AR Man, Nintendo has really done with much with the AR Gimmick as of late. I'm sure we'll still see him in the game as a trophy. That and he doesn't exactly represent what I'm representing with Dillon.
I don't think adding Wonder Red is a good idea, I mean we haven't gotten his game yet. It's too late for him to be realistically considered in my opinion, it's just too much of gamble to add him in without having any real reception of how well liked the game and character actually will be. At the very most, I can certainly see him with Assist Trophy potential.
Thanks for the comments you two.

I'll just take a look at your prediction roster and mention things that I think should be mentioned:
- Paper Mario - If you're picking a Super Mario Brothers character, you should pick someone from a Super Mario Brothers game (Toad and Bowser Jr.). Even the mainstream Mario Spinoffs (Parties, Karts, and Sports) could be represented in this spot too (Waluigi). But Paper Mario is more of a Mario Spin Off franchise in my eyes, meaning that he would make more sense with Donkey Kong, Yoshi, and Wario in the second column. That's something I've always thought of, at least.
- Diddy and Dixie - I don't think it can happen, we've already heard that they're having problems with the Ice Climbers on the 3DS version. Adding another type of that character won't really help that issue, especially if they have different moves rather than the same ones the Ice Climbers share. If we're seeing a playable Dixie Kong, I think it's safe to say that she'll go solo or have Kiddy Kong tag along with her (But that much I still doubt).
- Classic Link - I still think that if we get to keep our Timeline rep in the Zelda franchise, it's going to a Link with proportional differences from the original one. That being said Toon Link is still the way to go if you're going for that.
- Isaac - I think Isaac has ran his course. His last shot was Brawl and he became an assist trophy. I'm under the impression that Golden Sun lost it's chance at that, especially with the lackluster success of Dark Dawn (Versus the other assist trophy games that came out after Brawl, that ended up doing fairly well in comparison). So I'm under the impression that it's too late for him now, but that's my opinion at least.
- New Star Fox character - Honestly the least likely thing in your roster in my opinion. We haven't seen another new Star Fox in awhile now and while yes, the next character would probably be Krystal, we don't need another Star Fox character. We've got the Team Captain, the Wingman (No pun intended), and the Rival Pilot. Nobody else really needs to be added other than those three. I also don't think it's right for them to have more characters than the Kirby Franchise.
- Unova Trainer - I'm still under the impression that Gen 5 will have a Boss to rep them (Kyurem anybody?) Otherwise, we can't replace Pokemon Trainer he's got Charizard for goodness sake. We can't get rid of the most popular Pokemon ever.
- Roy returning over Ike - This just can't happen, if Ike got priority over Roy before, what changes that now? Roy isn't relevant at all still, in comparison to Mewtwo who's got a new role in the new game. Roy's chances and priority are most likely going to be very low in comparison to the other FE characters, but we can see how far the Japanese fan support can push him.
Other than those it looks pretty solid to me. 50 / 51 selectable characters might be a bit too much, but certainly workable.
So we should take that with a bucket of salt.
