If anything, things have been directing towards Snake. Reuben Langdon's interview statement, and Kojima's vague "I don't know" comment.Well, for one I can't fathom why Sakurai would make Sheik's new side-b grenades if another character already used grenades as a unique mechanic.
Kojima's tweets, and a surprising absence (though granted this can be said about some missing veterans as well.) of anything even hinting at him, makes me think he's gone. I'm not going to sit here and honestly believe we'll see 8 Pokemon newcomers (assuming we also get Mewtwo and Jiggs) in the game, let alone 4 third-party characters.
Nothing's adding up in their favor. I just can't see it. I can certainly see why people defend them and wish to see them, but I maintain popularity and relevancy won't save every character.
8 pokemon newcomers? I assume that newcomers part is a typo. Who said anything about 8 anyway? Squirtle and Ivysaur would bring the total number of pokemon reps to 7 (obviously Jiggs won't be cut under any circumstances). That's only 1 more than we had in Brawl. Do you really think that a total of playable pokemon that is only one higher than Brawl is unfathomable? Because I don't.
