If Lucas is going to replace Ness, then Lucas will be next. They probably only announced Ike, because they want to announce the returning characters. Since Marth isn't coming back, Ike is now the main FE character so they just announced him. If we don't get Lucas, we will probably get Ness, Luigi, Peach, Metaknight, Falcon, etc. until they announce all the starting characters. Then we will probably get some new newcomers. They will probably wait a while for Snake and others who are secret.

Previously Announced Newcomer- Metaknight
SURPRISE! Newcomer: Diddy Kong (crosses fingers and knocks on wood) or King Dedede

Veteran: Peach, probably, then Falcon's gotta be next. I'm tired of waiting!

Third party characters will likely be the last to come. Or, they'll include it in a trailer, or you'll see a snippet of one in an image, and then they'll be like "Oh yeah, Sonic is in the game. Surprise." like what they pulled with Solid Snake.

Anyway, I think that the next announced character will either be Peach (with some Mario themed music and her Final Smash) or Metaknight (with a final official announcement of his stage, and Kirby's Final Smash).

I am leaning towards Metaknight, and the reason for that is because they appear to be tying up loose ends. For example, they unveiled Ike (which was a surprise), but then they confirmed that Ike's stage was the castle, which we had already seen. As such, I think they will do the same with Metaknight, since we have already seen both that character and stage. Then they will go to Peach. And then, Olimar. Please Olimar.

They might start listing secondary characters from series' in the same order they announced the main characters, with a few exceptions.

Which means it'll go something like this.

-Luigi
-Ganondorf
-Kid Icarus character (No clue)
-Mewtwo
-Metaknight
-Falco
-Ridley
-Diddy Kong
-Maybe Kamek or Birdo
-The next FE rep (that one's up in the air right now)

I took liberties with the Pokemon rep, based on my best assumption.

That was another liberty I took. I figured if any of Yoshi's spinoff games had a rep, it'd probably be Kamek or Birdo, probably Kamek. If not, then definitely as ATs.

Ya... Birdo definately deserves to be an AT, but I wouldn't mind seeing her as a PC either... the Yoshi series needs something else.

Birdo has nothing to do with Yoshi.

Where do people come up with these things?

I agree with Granite here. Third parties will probably come last because Sakurai knows that they're what everyone's clamoring for. Peach, Meta, or Falcon will probably be next. Peach isn't semi-confirmed, she practically IS confirmed now, so Sakurai will tie off that loose end (sort of how he did with Samus's Final Smash and then the next day presenting Zamus). Metaknight will probably come soon, and he'll probably go along with the Halberd or the Kirby Lagasi Live! Final Smash. BAM! Falcon could also be next, because like Yoshi before him, he's been waiting a while to be confirmed. June 4th was Yoshi's music. June 12 was Yoshi's stage. Yoshi was confirmed over a month later on July 24. Falcon became semi-confirmed after his famous arch-rival, Samurai Goroh, was announced as an item on July 2. So he's been semi-confirmed for a few days over a month now.

So I think chance-wise (greatest to least), I think it might go: Peach-Falcon-Meta. But you never know... It'd be great if Sakurai did two confirmations in one week...

Oh yes, and THEN Olimar. Please, Olimar. And please, make him playable too. Diddy would also be great too.

Lol, wouldn't it be funny if on Monday Sakurai confirms Marth or someone nobody saw coming-
Go Ice Climbers!

Birdo has a crush on Yoshi, and Mario has too many characters while Yoshi doesn't. I think it makes perfect sense to pair up Birdo with Yoshi.
Is this that Mario Tennis thing?

That was just in one game. -_-

Birdo wouldn't represent Yoshi in anyway. She, like Princess Daisy, has been reduced to a "party" character. There isn't much hope for her.

I wouldn't say she's the greatest character to put in Brawl, I just saying that Birdo representing the Yoshi series has a better chance than say.... shy guys...

And the Birdo with Yoshi thing is seen everywhere where Yoshi and Birdo are in the same game... that I can think of anyway...

I remember hearing about her, but all I know about her is that I thought she was Zelda until someone said differently. Which means she'd probably be really similar to Zelda. Maybe too similar? I heard IGN nominate the Eggplant Wizard (Eggplant? lol), so maybe that would be better.

sneaking low to the ground, ready to pounce
First Edition Super Mario Bros. 2 manual said:
"He thinks he is a girl and he spits eggs from his mouth. He'd rather be called 'Birdetta.'"
Of course, after the first edition that last sentence was omitted and he's been a she ever since... but those of us who remember know the truth. He just finally got the surgery. ^_^

In Japanese, Birdo is refered to as "Catherine" so I doubt that...lol
in both the Japanese and English game manuals for Super Mario Bros. 2/ Super Mario USA...
it stated that Birdo is a guy that wants to be a girl...
its called trangender...
its quite common...
her physical sex and her sexual identity dont agree...
and if im not mistaken...
the European instruction manuels for Mario Strikers Super Charged or whatever its called states Birdo's gender as male...
im not sure if thats only in Europe or in the US and Japan as well...
but at one point Birdo indeed was a man if she hasnt yet had a sex change operation...
EDIT!!!
dang you Darkfur you beat me to it!!!
hehe...

^^^ That is messed up........ I wouldn't expect something like that in the Mario series, but I have to admit, that's pretty hilarious.

Anyway... I think (like most people) that the next Veteran to come is Peach, and the next Newcomer to come is Meta Knight, but I think that after Meta Knight, we won't get Snake for a while, and we may even see brand new characters first, but idk...

I read that Birdo was actually the first transgendered video game character. Certainly not the last, but since, Nintendo has actually changed Birdo to an actual female to reduce controversy.

How interesting.....btw Viroxor, your next post is your 200th...

Sometimes I get nervous because they haven't announced falcon yet.
I wouldn't be worried about it. Who better than Falcon to represent the F-Zero series, and F-Zero HAS to be part of Smash.

I don't know if this counts as a "newcomer" but I think it would be awesome if Link could turn into a wolf. Kind of like how Zelda turns into Shiek, ya know?

Something like that would be HOT!

Why doesn't EVERY character just transform?!!?
If Wolf Link is in, Midna will be on top of him.

So far we've got newcomers from all but two of the franchises that we've had veteran updates for: Kirby and Starfox. My guess is either Meta-Knight, King Dedede or Krystal. Depends which Kirby character's unlockable, I think they're announcing the starters first.
