Smash Master
It basically doesn't add up. Characters will not be replaced left and right.
Sheik and Zero Suit Samus:
Probably the first of a mass ignorance that will plague the board. Since the revealing of Zamus, people assumed that because she had blonde hair, is fast, and is a transformation, it automatically meant Sheik was out (also, the Twightlight Princess dribble but whatever)
Now it wouldn't make sense for Sheik to be replaced by Zamus. Because one, Zamus isn't a 'seperate' character. She needs a Smash Ball to even be used. You can transform from Zelda to Sheik and vice versa anytime at will.
Ike and Marth/Roy:
Another dense assumption. So apperantly, because both Ike and Marth are swordsmen and have blue hair, people thought Marth is gone. We don't know yet, but if Marth is gone, Ike won't be the reason. Roy's is pretty gone anyway. Also, when Ike's special moves were revealed, they weren't similar to Marth. Even Ather was totally different. (Different animation and going straight up)
Also, Ike holds a two handed sword with one hand. So he won't be anywhere like the nimble Marth.
Lucas and Ness:
Probably the only one that had any support. What with Lucas originally suppose to replace Ness in Melee but Mother 3 was scrapped for the N64. Also, throw in the fact that Lucas' moves are similar to Ness. But now with the apperant revealment of Ness (unless it was very poorly P.Trainer sprite) maybe Lucas is just a Luigified version of Ness.
Ness and The Masked Man:
Now with the confirmation of Ness, people are now foolish enough to believe that the Masked Man is not in. Can't the Mother series have 3 reps? Is it really a crime for it to have more than 2? Ness and the Masked Man aren't even related to each other in any way. They don't even fight the same way.
Lucario and Mewtwo:
Along with Ness, Lucario had his dog head shown with the heads of other playable characters. Now people believe that Mewtwo is not coming back. Apparently, Lucario also has a signiture move where he has a power up ball attack. Let me tell you this: Mewtwo's Shadow Ball and Lucario's Aura Sphere are nowhere near similar with the exception of shape. One is a ghost type move. The other is a fighting type move. Mewtwo and Lucario aren't even the same type of Pokemone. How can Psychic Pokemon be a clone of a Fighting/Steel type?
Geno and Bowser Jr.:
Neither are confirmed so far but people believe that the Mario series will only get ONE rep in this game. There's no way in Heck that Nintendo's flagship series will only get one more character. Espeically when another MArio character (Dr. Mario) is probably getting the boot. It'll be a slap to the series face. Now with the rumor spreading that Jr. is an Assist Trophy, some Geno fanboys claim that this mean Geno is confirmed playable. No it doesn't. For one, we don't know for sure that it's Jr.'s face. Two, Geno can easily be an Assist Trophy as well if Nintendo favors another Square character to be playable.
Wolf and Krystal:
Basically, the same situation as Geno and Jr.
Sheik and Zero Suit Samus:
