NEW OWNERSHIP, REVAMPING FOR POTENTIAL DLC

Now that the Genetic Pokemon has opened the flood gates let's start listing any upcoming games that could tie in to any DLC characters. Sakurai stated that series "without a future" would not get character focus so let's look to the future to see and potential characters. We'll start with November 2014 and go from there. Any potential characters they could tie into will be put in brackets next to it. Help me build this new list. If you want the old list, look below.

2014
November

November 7th- Ultimate NES Remix (Ice Climbers [Hope into one hand...])
November 11th- Sonic Boom (Second Sonic Character)
November 13th- Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Obvious)
November 21st- Super Smash Bros for Wii U Releases in America
November 21st- Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire (Gen 3 Pokemon)

December
December 5th- Super Smash Bros for Wii U Releases in Europe

2015

Unkown
Zelda WiiU (Impa, Tetra)
Star Fox U (Wolf, Krystal)



[COLLAPSE="Pre-Release Timeline"]

It appears characters are being released to coincide with their respective game releases. Here is a list of all the character confirmations so far and upcoming major releases for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. There are three more timelines on bottom of this OP.

CONTENTS
  • Main timeline
    The main timeline is for veterans and confirmed new-comers only. Any upcoming game releases/anniversaries taking in place after Smash Bros for 3DS's Japanese launch date are not included (When will a character be revealed, is the main subject of this thread, after all, and we'll know all characters by then with Smash Bros for 3DS in Japan).
  • Post-launch timeline under "unannounced SECRET FIGHTERS" spoiler section
    For veterans, if confirmed getting cut/not returning. Don't lose your hopes, they might be revealed post-launch via DLC!
  • "For new-comers" spoiler section
    For unconfirmed new-comers. The timeline in there is very special, as it lists trailers first, then list game releases/anniversaries under them. We have yet to see any new-comer revealed without a trailer.
  • "Bad dates" spoiler section
    It contains all previous dates that we consider to be farfetched for a character reveal, and didn't even revealed for it. It was meant for researching purpose only. Future games and anniversaries will go to "bad dates" spoiler as well when all of respective veterans are confirmed.
Anniversary will use its earliest date rather than three separated dates by three major regions. Metroid: Zero Mission is an exception as it appears that the 2nd region's anniversary was on the same day as the respective veteran's reveal and I only want to point that out just in case, even if it's just a pure coincidence.

KEY
??
= Revealed out of the blue
?! = Revealed for special reason
!! = New character
v /^ = Supporting character's reveal in later/earlier date
v /^ = Farfetched support (in next/prev month)
Date = Character revealed
Date = Golden opportunity (usually reveal multiple characters)
Date = Great opportunity (usually a single reveal with trailer)
Bad anniversary = Not rounded to 5, hardly mean anything for character's reveal
Date /Achievement = Subject to change
Weekend = No Dojo update
Game = Spin-off games (Nobody ever revealed for it)

STATISTIC
Revealed with trailer: 1Mo, 4Tu, 2We, 1Th, 0Fr
Revealed on Game release/anniversary: 0Mo, 0Tu, 0We, 3Th, 4Fr
Random reveal: 0Mo, 0Tu, 1We, 1Th, 1Fr
Opportunity missed: 3 games, 1 (Pokemon) movie, 1 game not on Nintendo system, ALL spin-off games, 4 anniversaries

Yeah nice database, but I'd take out the rumored release date, it's obviously fake now.

Holy **** we're getting Zelda a month earlier than Japan?

So this means the possible characters we could get tomorrow (if we get one) are:
Little Mac
Captain Falcon
A Zelda character (most likely Zelda, or maybe Ghirahim)
A New Mario character (maybe Bowser Jr. or Rosalina)
Hopefully we'll get a newcomer since we haven't had one since E3.

I think you should add anniversaries as well just to cover all bases and account for characters without an upcoming game.

I would also consider anniversaries. It might be a good idea to check up on the anniversaries of the following characters and franchises:

Ice Climbers
Mr Game and Watch
Captain Falcon/F-Zero
Mother/Lucas/Ness
R.O.B.
Little Mac
Takamaru

Or any retro for that matter. Also, looking up anniversaries of the represented franchises couldn't hurt. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a newcomer revealed on one of them.

Finally, a concise list of release dates with anniversaries and special occasions provided!

At this time, Diddy Kong and Yoshi have the most forseeable chance of reveal with Tropical Freeze and New Island respectively. This follows the suit of Olimar, Toon Link, Zelda, and King Dedede.

There is still word of the potential direct this week or by the end of the month, but eh... We'll see. I can certainly see Ice Climbers being revealed on their anniversary however, since there aren't many other appropriate chances to show them off.

Don't you think it's a good idea to add Yoshi's New Island's Japanese summer release? It's (sadly) more likely that Yoshi will be revealed during that time, as opposed to his game's release outside of Japan. Then again, with no other notable release in March, there's still a chance he'll be shown then (unless Pac-Man makes it in of course, then he may be shown in March, though I don't think Sakurai cares much about EU releases regarding reveals).

If Sakurai decides to unveil Yoshi alongside New Island's Japanese release in the summer, then in March he may just show of somebody like Lucas or the Ice Climbers, basically just characters who haven't got any upcoming releases.

Maybe Wario, since March is the birthday of the Warioware series?

Hey! Great thread

It's a little disappointing to see how few character reveals actually tie up with significant release dates. Three total of the nine post-E3 updates. Guess all we can do is sit and wait.

Well I guess anniversaries are a thing, if not certain.

Diddy on the 13th is the one everyoen has their eyes on.
