I imagine no changes from the Wii U/3DS roster and we'll see the DLC characters too.

As for new additions:
Ice Climbers (hopefully enough processing power to include 16 Popo & Nanas)
Inkling (Nintendo IP Splatoon)
Cross (Nintendo IP Xenoblade X)
Wonder-Red (Nintendo IP Wonderful 101)
Takamaru (Nintendo IP Murasame Castle)

Shovel Knight (Third Party Yacht Club Games)
Jibanyan (Third Party Level 5 Yo-kai Watch)
Lloyd Irving (Third Party Namco Tales of Symphonia)
Dragon Quest Hero with 9 Skins for each game (Third Party Square-Enix)

Total: 76

And in 50 posts as of writing this, precisely one follows the rules in the OP. People, reading is not that hard:

6. Please post total amount of characters at the bottom or top of the post, so it would make it easier for me to do the scores. Please make sure that your total count would included transformation characters as well.

I still think there will be no new characters, just new costumes but if we're lucky enough to get any, my guesses are:

- Isaac (Golden Sun)
- Ray Mk 3 (Custom Robo)
- Simon Belmont (Castlevania)
- Slime (Dragon Quest)

Stages: Somewhere in Alola, some DQ11 location.

Costumes: Jibanyan, Jack Frost, DQ Characters, Sun & Moon starters, someone from "New Nintendo IP", Chibi-robo, Alucard, Richter, Soma Cruz

We don't add the characters already in Smash 4:

1. Please don't include veterans from Smash Bros for 3DS and Wii U because there are more likely that there wouldn't be any cut because it's high likely to be a port.

Guys, if you want to make your own predictions, then don't quote. Just type those characters out by yourself. It's not that hard, guys. Also people really need to read the rules for pete's sakes. It's not that hard, even I made TDLR for some of you under Guideline.

Don't complain to me if you got DQ because you couldn't even read the rules or guideline properly.

No roster cuts, all 58 return with the DLC characters packaged in or appearing as DLC option again.
+
- Paper Mario (Paper Mario)
- Inkling (Splatoon)
- Marshal (Rhythm Heaven)
- Ice Climbers (Ice Climber)

So a total of 62.
Rumour says just 2 more characters? Screw it, I'm betting BIG...ger.

As for stages...I'm guessing just ports of the 3DS stages, but for the sake of tiebreaker:
- Paper Mario stage based on Color Splash
- Splatoon stage based on a singeplayer stage from Splatoon
- 8bit Ice Climber mountain

If you don't see your name on the list, then please let me know if you edit your post properly.


Also, for people who put characters on their list and put "maybe" next to their list should fix the list.

I don't accept "maybe" so if I still see it then I will make a decision to count the point or not, or maybe get yourself DQ.

With the rumors of the Switch version having only small additions, I'm going to go with all the cast + DLC and

Newcomers:
Inkling (Splatoon)
Elma (Xenoblade X)

With Wolf and Ice Climbers returning.

Tiebreaker:
Inkopolis stage
Mira
Icicle Mountain returning from Brawl

Not applicable but I'm going to predict the following anyway

-DLC characters to get custom moves
-DLC characters plus any newcomers will get dialog for Palutena's Guidance added.
-DLC characters plus any newcomers will have their reveal trailers added to the Vault.
-New intro which will mix in footage of DLC characters and any newcomers.

I decided to add everyone to the list on OP. However if you see "maybe" next to your username then you better change your post due to the reasons that I should put it right next to your username as well.

Everything from the base game + DLC is retained.

Returning:
Ice Climbers
Wolf

Newcomers:
Inklings
Rayman

I think with all this Beyond Good and Evil 2 talk, it's much more likely for Rayman to make it in.

Can I predict nothing new? Cause that is my prediction for launch, maybe new things added as future DLC but this is going to be the base Smash 4 with all DLC added for the launch game.

I think (wish) it will have six new characters:
Ice climbers
Inklings
Ridley
King k Rool

And...
Decidueye
Noctis

Also, I'm sure there will be a new skin for Link with his breath of the wild look.

One last try:

- Paper Mario
- Inklings

I predict that Paper Mario will finally make an appearance. Salty as fuck that Dr. Mario got a spot instead, but now is the time to let it shine. Especially since the character literally just got another game not too long ago....

Splatoon is popular, so yea, I can see this happening now.

One vet, one newcomer. Either:

Ice Climbers or Wolf.

Plus

Inkling or a character poll runner-up.

I'd love to be wrong though.

EDIT: Obviously the entire roster from Wii U/3DS plus DLC is returning.

EDIT 2: If at bullet point I'll just say Ice Climbers and Inkling.

I'm shocked no one else has guessed Dovahkin. I thought Skyrim being on Switch would had given people food for thought on that one.
