Attack of the Clones.
They don't take up too much developement time. Offers different variations on gameplays (which is nice), and scores one more character into the roster and makes it feel bigger. Each game gets some, and this one won't be different.
What clone characters do you believe is very likely, who could you see got a chance, and who not so much, but you'd still don't mind seeing.
Mine;
Very likely;
- Wolf (Return). Makes sense that Wolf might get back. If a new Star Fox is true, and the timing of this game, this could happen.
- Dixie Kong. Tropical Freeze re-release, and TF in itself back when it was new. Popular, and makes sense.
- Octoling. Since we got confirmation on Inklings, this could happen, and I'd be welcome to it.
Got a chance;
- Alph. He did have a chance to be a seperate character in SSB4, but was just an alt.
- Second ARMS character. This is just in case an ARMS character happens at all and not just eventual DLC.
- Dark Samus. Could happen, as Metroid has been lacking, and if Ridz get's canned again then it could be DSamus turn.
Not much, but could happen;
- Blood Falcon. If I can't get Samurai Goroh, then why not Blood Falcon.
- Daisy. Not something I'd be entirely thrilled about, but it could happen.
- Birdo. Don't know why, but Yoshi has been alone since SSB64, perhaps Birdo would get inn this way if Sakurai is desperate?
