Who Thinks All Characters Will Return?

SS64 had 12 character, 8 starters and 4 hidden.

Melee had 25 characters, 14 starting and 11 unlockables, of which 6 were clones and 5 were "original". The 8 original were in the starters, plus 2 hidden ones from the first and 4 new. and of the hidden ones, 2 were hidden ss64, so there were really just 3 original. the others, as said, were clones

Now for brawl, we already saw the original 8 and, with todays update (ice climbers), the 4 new starters from melee are there already as well. weve already been presented with 5 new characters, not counting zero suit, cause shes like sheik/zelda for melee, was shown separately, but only takes 1 roster space.

Who's left to be shown from previous games? All the hidden ones!!!

A lot of people says that the ice climbers pretty much confirms g&w, and thats not true, it has nothing to do, cause g&w was hidden and i-c starters. dont get me wrong, i DO want g&w, he is my fav char!! But well, back to the analysis, a lot of people says that marth will bite the dust, and ike will take his place, which seems likely. now, not much people want mewtwo to return, so lets say ike takes marth place, lucario could take mewtwos place, and g&w would be the only new hidden char from melee left, so he would be left, cut off or replaced, but there is no way to tell so far

SS64 hidden chars will most likely return as well, and in my opinion they are the next ones to be updated, maybe not luigi and jiggs, since its kind of a tradition to unlock them XD but i think falcon and ness will be starters

So, if u ask me, the only ones left to return from melee, are the original hidden chars, and not even all of them got high enough chances, i think luigi, jiggs, falcon and g&w are there for sure, cause u cant replace them, but ness can be replaced by lucas, and the other 2 by the chars mentioned before. But i think ALL the ORIGINAL chars deserve to return, cause theyre not just fighers u know, they are smash brothers!! XD
it sounds cheesy, but u get the point

The clones, no, for my point of view the have no chances, just ganondorf, cause he is the only one who truly deserves a place of his own, just give him a new move set and thats it

I didnt make that much analysis, but it seems very likely, dont u agree?? i mean, we already know that every new char from both games is in, and we already have 5 all new chars, so maybe we will still be shown with 3 already known hidden chars from previous games, and 1 or 2 more all new chars, and thats it, so that luigi, jiggs and g&w will still be unlockable in this game, and all the other hidden chars will be brand new

wow! i wrote a lot more than i expected XD

My theory on the matter has been that, Nintendo is going to add characters from a franchise that they are going to ressurrect. Example: Fire Emblem, StarFox. After SSBM the Fire Emblem franchise started making new games, same for Starfox. The only flaw in my theory is Earthboung and Ice Climbers, whose franchise didn't grow after SSBM.

If my theory is true I'd like to see a new Kid Icarus.

Err...what? Mother 3 was released last year, the franchise is pretty active (well, at least, it isn't for sure if sequels are planned, but it's really popular in Japan and is indeed its own series).

I'm also fairly sure that all characters will return. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. "Clones" never bothered me much, anyway.

Guys stop saying characters will be cut because they weren't very good in melee. It is their role in Nintendo that matters.
Pichu has no role over any other random pokemon CUT.
Only one of Roy or Marth (whichever is more important to the series) will return i think as they already have Ike.
Mewtwo probably will return as he is the main villain pokemon.
Jigglypuff will return as he/she is the most recognisable pokemon after pikachu.
Ganondorf definately will returnas he is main Zelda villain.
Game and watch represented nintendos early portable video games, will return but probably a late unlockable.
Young Link: if he returns he will most likely be as windwaker/Phantom hourglass or majoras mask link (probably former as its newer) to get rid of clone characters.
Falco will likely return or be replaced by another starfox character (one which would have a different moveset easier)
Doctor Mario could be replaced by Paper Mario as an alter ego as he is newer and could have a more varying moveset.
Shiek is one which i am unsure about, i am thinking more towards her being included but it could go either way

Pichu, Doc, and Young Link should not return. But after the...ahem..."contrversial" update on Friday, who knows what'll happen.
I don't think so. Ice Climbers are a unique character, Pichu, Dr. Mario, and Young Link aren't. It's that simple.

As much as I would love to know that G&W is in the game and gloat in the face of nay-sayers (both in and out of teh internetz), all of this just speculation.

As I said many times before here, I'd be displeased with ANY cuts (Yes, even Pichu, he's too kyoot to cut). Bad, BAD move Sakurai.

In the mean-time, I'll go rub the IC's being confirmed in a few select faces (outside teh internetz)

What would it be like if Captain Falcon had already been released by now and another character.. like.. Fox was not yet unveiled?
Would everyone here be like "what the hell where is fox?"?

Yes. There's even a topic debating whether or not Luigi will return. People are dumb.

Have you read the icon discovery topic? Either #13 is the Game & Watch symbol, or the symbols are in that order by pure coincidence. If that's a coincidence, it's the biggest coincidence I've ever seen in my life. It would be the equivalent of me writing you a note, putting it in a bottle, throwing it in the ocean, and then of all people you just happen to find it. So, I'll tell you what, if you get my note I'll admit that there's a chance that Mr. Game & Watch won't return.

The only other possible way he could not return would be if they use someone new to represent the Game & Watch series. Who could possibly represent the G&W series better than Mr. GAME & WATCH?

I'm sorry, but that is just stupid.

Or they can just not have G&W altogether. If that happens, I will hunt down not only Sakurai, but everyone in Sora (and Reggie Fils-Amie as an added bonus). I know people say this as a joke, but I mean it. Sort of. Not really, but I would really, REALLY be pissed.

Of course, no one represents pre-arcade Nintendo better than Mr. Game and Watch. I am putting my money on him returning, but I wouldn't call that definitive proof.

I don't recall any topics debating whether Luigi would return or not... There are always some new members asking if he will return or not, but I don't remember any topics actually debating whether he will return or not.

Everyone is convinced because Sakurai said "Not every character from Melee will be returning. Definitely."

I might also add that there is no point in bringing back Doc, Pichu, and Roy as they were all late addition filler characters.

Britain, glaring at you **** yanks.
I agree with grim. There was actually zero point in adding Dr Mario to the game. He was a total copy of Mario, the only differences where the pill noises, and the graphics. I despise him. Why wasn't he put in the game? He's just Mario, with a coat on!

At least Luigi had different physics, and his attacks differered in some way.
