There's a potential newcomer to whom the following applies:
Newcomer was very popular on the ballot, and received a Mii costume.
This newcomer received considerable support for both Brawl and Smash 4, and did so well on Nintendo's Smash Ballot that he received a Mii costume in the same wave as two other characters that have already been turned into full fighters.
Newcomer's series has an incredibly strong history with Nintendo. (Bestseller, Console bundle.)
This newcomer's original game was one of the best selling games on the Nintendo Gamecube and the Nintendo DS. He also has games on the Nintendo Wii, the Nintendo 3DS, and the SNES. This newcomer's game was so successful that it received its own Gamecube bundle with a console themed after his game.
Newcomer's series has two new mothership titles coming to the Nintendo Switch soon.
The series this newcomer stems from has one game scheduled for release and one game scheduled for reveal within one month of Smash Ultimate's release. Both are likely to be system sellers.
Sakurai has openly said that this newcomer is the undeniable, definitive representative for his series.
In an interview from 2016 - a full year after Smash Ultimate's project plan was finished - Sakurai stated that this newcomer is without a doubt the only real pick to represent his franchise. It also doesn't hurt that this newcomer's game is not only the most successful entry in the series, but also that it was the series' breakthrough entry in the west.
Newcomer's Developers are working with Sakurai, and are openly pushing for Newcomer.
This newcomer's game and series director is part of the Smash Ultimate development team, and is openly pushing Sakurai to include this newcomer and his series. A considerable portion of this newcomer's original development team is also working on Smash Ultimate.
Newcomer comes from a tremendously successful series.
Newcomer's series is one of the most commercially successful and culturally significant properties in its genre, with 25+ million in mothership title sales, and over 2 billion in total franchise sales. Several animes, mangas, movies, audio dramas, and escort titles. Sells tons of merchandise and auxiliary licenses. Series has an annual festival dedicated to it, hosted in soccer stadiums with over 20k annual attendees. Series was considered for a ride at Universal Studios Japan, alongside franchises like Sailor Moon, Final Fantasy, and Detective Conan.
Newcomer is a natural fit for Smash, moveset is already in the game.
The series this newcomer comes from utilizes a combat system that strongly resembles Smash Bros in a number of ways. There are four directional specials, four directional jabs, four directional smashes, taunts, a dodge, and an ultimate attack. This newcomer fits so well that 90% of his moveset is already in the game - the only attacks missing are his side-smash and his ultimate.
Unlike before, Newcomer's voice actor has deliberately and consistently avoided Smash-related questions.
This newcomer's voice actor used to responded to Smash-related questions on social media, both during Brawl and Smash 4's lead up. This has not been the case during the lead up to Smash Ultimate though, as his voice actor has ignored every Smash-related question posed.
Newcomer has several potential gimmicks that could make his gameplay incredibly unique.
There are three different mechanics in this newcomer's original game that could be used to make him incredibly unique - one would essentially give him Cloud's limit bar, but it would fill when hits are landed rather than by charging, one would give him a very unique combo system that amends his regular specials, and one would give him two different modes to fight in, altering his smashes.

For those who haven't guessed it, the newcomer in question is Lloyd Irving.
