Your next 5 characters

[Guybrush20X6]

We now have five newcomers and Sakurai said to expect less than in previous games so I feel we'll get around 5 more. Which 5 ones do you want and what 5 do you expect?

 

[dimensionsword64]

Want:
King K. Rool
Mewtwo
Vaati
Ridley
Isaac

Expect:
King K. Rool
Tetra/Toon Zelda
Palutena
Shulk
Isaac

 

[Sabrewulf238]

My top five wants hasn't changed for a long while now.....mean ol Sakurai hasn't thrown me a bone.

Want:
Isaac
Shulk
Mewtwo
Chibi Robo
Robin

Expect:
Palutena
Mii
Pac Man
Isaac
Chrom

Expect is a funny one really, because the only character I'd consider a "shoe in" was confirmed yesterday. Otherwise all we have to go on is that Palutena "leak". I could just as easily put Mewtwo, Dixie, Shulk or King K Rool under "expect" to be honest.

Personally I don't think it would be too optimistic to expect 12 newcomers (so 7 more newcomers) Somehow I don't think "less newcomers" is going to be quite as drastic as 10 newcomers.

 

[BindingBlade]

Matthew, Shulk, Pac-Man, Palutena, Mii.

Wants: Ghirahim, Meowth, Hades, Blaziken, Shulk.

 

[Reader]

I won't count Mewtwo as a newcomer, since he technically isn't.

Want:
Vaati
Lip
Palutena
Honestly, this is all I need. I'd be happy for every newcomer as long as they represent Nintendo and have unique move sets.(Well, the only exceptions are Pac-man and Tingle. I'd accept Pac-Man as a third party character, but I'd never accept Tingle as a newcomer unless he represents his own sub-series.)

Expect:
Palutena
Dixie Kong
Chrom
Mii
New Zelda character. (Could be Vaati, Tetra with or without Toon Zelda or Impa)

 

[False Sense]

Want: Mewtwo, Ridley, Robin, K. Rool, Palutena

Expect: Mewtwo, Ridley, K. Rool, Palutena, Takamaru

Although in actuality, I think it's fully possible we'll get more than just five more.

 

[Ninka_kiwi]

Takamaru, another FE rep, Palutena, Ridley, and Shulk are kinda what I hope though I kinda expect Mii and Pac-man instead of Shulk and Ridley.

 

[dimensionsword64]

Ignore this post.

 

[egaddmario]

I'd love to see Shulk, Ridley, Dillon, Palutena, and Chrom. I'm expecting Shulk, Ridley, Palutena, Chrom, and Takamaru. That being said, if i could choose a 6th for my love to see list, i'd toss Takamaru on there in a heartbeat.

Of course Mewtwo is also wanted and expected, but he's a veteran.

[stan423321]

Want (note: implementation matters more obv.. No 3rd parties.)
Palutena
Non-Tingle Zelda rep (hopefully not Toon Veteran either, but still could work)
Metroid rep, Ridley being alright
Advance Wars rep
Spin-off Mario rep, like Waluigi

Must stop thinking with templates. There are still loads of non-covered characters that would make me happy on almost equal level, and don't let me start on third parties.

Expect
Miis
FE rep, most likely Chrom
DK rep, most likely Dixie, then Cranky, then K. Rool (reverse for preferences)
Pokemon rep, no idea what/who though
Ganondorf like veteran semi-clone (Dark Pit? Black Shadow? Kiddy Kong? The possibilities are neverending.)

 

[dezeray112]

Wants

Palutena
Isaac
Chrom/Lucina
Saki
Takumaru

*Other mentions: Mach Rider, Meowth

Expect

Palutena
Chrom
DK rep
Metroid Rep
Takumaru

 

[Dark Phazon]

WANT !!!


EXPECT:

Chrom
Mewtwo
Pacman
Mii
Palutena

 

[Megadoomer]

Going with the assumption that Mewtwo counts as a veteran, since he has been playable in Smash Bros. before.

Want:
-Ridley
-Shulk (Xenoblade Chronicles)
-King K. Rool
-Saki (Sin & Punishment)
-Palutena (or Medusa - either one would be okay in my eyes)

Expect:
-Palutena
-Mii
-Pac Man
-Dixie Kong
-Chrom

I'm trying to keep my expectations low, just to be on the safe side - while I have no idea what characters are likely, I'm trying to avoid a situation like Brawl where I thought Geno could make some kind of appearance and was slightly disappointed when he didn't.

 

[Sarki Soliloquy]

WANT

Chrom
Palutena
Anna
Gardevoir
Ridley

EXPECT

Chrom
Palutena
Isaac

Antecode: Mewtwo will return as a veteran fighter accompanied with a Sonic-style trailer. Therefore, I do not regard him as a newcomer.

 

[Blaziken]

Want
Isaac
Shulk
Saki
Bowser Jr.
Wonder Red

Expect
Shulk
Takamaru
Palutena
Chrom
Dixie

Bowser Jr.
Dixie Kong

Expect

Palutena
Dixie Kong
Mii

[Davidreamcatcha]

Want:
Waluigi
Chibi Robo

Pac-Man

 

[Mishudo]

Want:
Isaac

I feel like some of my expect are characters I don't want. (Mostly Pacman, I might not want Mii or Chrom is thy aren't done right)

 

[Incenetum]

Want: Donnel, Donnel, Donnel, Donnel, Donnel
Expect: Donnel, Donnel, Donnel, Donnel, Donnel
Edit: I don't actually expect Donnel to get in... but with an official name like Donnel Tinhead, you know he'd be hilarious to have.

 

[PixelPasta]

Personally I expect 12 newcomers, leaving us with seven to go:
King K. Rool
Ridley
Palutena
Chrom
Takamaru
Pac-man
Mii

But if I had to narrow that down to five:
King K. Rool
