Everyone who has said snake is good company.
If you haven't, you should feel bad.
OP, you should have mentioned about third-party characters too. Who would you all want to see that's not from Nintendo?
Konami can burn in a fire of its own pachinko machines. If that means snake isn't in smash, worth it.

There's no reason to be against the return of snake.
There is no way to reasoning with Snake haters tho.
Pun intended (MGS 3: Snake Eater) ?
In an ideal world, Ryu would show up in the Smash trailer. However, before a "Newcomer - Ryu" sign can pop up, a blue hand appears on Ryu's sholder. A voice says "SIT DOWN SON" and it's revealed that the blue hand belongs to none other than NEWCOMER - MEGA MAN X.
Meaning we don't even know if the game is coming for real. Rumors are rumors in my book don't care about "sources"
Everyone from Smash Wii U/3DS (DLC Included) + 2 Additional Characters
TIEBREAKER: Potential New Stages
- Ice Climbers (Ice Climber)
- Inkling (Splatoon)
As much as I would prefer more characters (then again, who wouldn't), I'm gonna stick with Source Gaming's reported 2 additional characters just to play it safe.
- New - Hyrule (The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild)
- New - Inkopolis (Splatoon)
- Old - Summit (Ice Climbers stage from Brawl)
Current roster and dlc roster
Two additional fighters:
Inkling
Ice Climbers
Stage
Fountain of dreams
Splatoon stage
Ice climber stage
Total characters 60
- Ice Climbers
- Inkling
That's all I expect for now.
Smash 4 Roster + All DLC +
Vets:
Ice Climbers
Newcomers:
Inkling
Man, what an off the wall prediction. Absolutely ludicrous.
Stages
Inkopolis
The Summit (Brawl)
Pokemon Stadium
2
They're going to add Ice Climbers and Inkling, and will have more costumes and maps featured.
Inklings and Ice Climbers.
TOTAL ROSTER SIZE: 60
Current Roster remains intact; all DLC included; two additions:
Ice Climbers
Inklings
Stages:
Summit
Inkopolis
Hopefully there will be more additions, but these are the most likely, I feel.
Ice Climbers
Inklings
That's it, I ain't getting my hopes up further this time nor can I predict the mad sakurai logic only known to him
Kind of crazy isn't it, we see Smash in a title and immediately click. I was only a lurker in the PotD threads, but boy am I glad that I can participate in them now!
Now onto my predictions, I'm going to be really conservative with my guesses.
Alongside all of the characters in Wii U/3DS with all the DLC
New Characters:
Ice Climbers
Inkling
Total Characters: 60
Like I said, I'm not expecting too much extra besides the DLC.
Tie Breaker New Stages:
Urchin Underpass
Summit(Brawl)
Breath of the Wild (I'm guessing that it is based off of a non great plateau area)
I hope I lose and we get a lot more, but we've got to remember to temper expectations. Better to be excited by more than you expected than let down by less!
All characters from Sm4sh + DLC packaged for free
+ Ice Climbers
+ Inklings
(Zelda reps get new costumes)
All stages from Sm4sh + DLC packaged for free
+ Pokemon SuMo stage, Aether Paradise?
+ Switch OS-based stage
+ Walleye Warehouse
I don't think too much new stuff will be there, so I'll predict:
- Switch version will include DLC characters, stage, and content from the start
- Ice Climbers
- Inkling's the only newcomer.
Not too exciting, but it seems like Nintendo wouldn't want to spend too much time on developing new things and just want to get Smash on the Switch in order to hasten the transition from the Wii U.
Edit: Oh, Tiebreaker, stages:
- New Pork City from Brawl
- Corneria stage from Melee
- New Splatoon stage
Splatoon and Ice Climbers if I'm being hopeful
Ice Climbers
Inkling
Splatoon stage
New Zelda BotW stage
Zelda BotW costume for Link
I'd like to predict:
1. Ice Climbers
2. Inking
At launch
Ice Climbers
Inkling(s)
Others will be added via DLC
I missed out on the original roster prediction fun, so I'm definitely getting my predictions in this time around!
The entire Smash Wii U/3DS roster (including DLC), plus 2 new characters...
- Returning veteran(s): Ice Climbers
- Newcomer: Inkling
Tiebreaker: 3 additional stages...
- New: Inkopolis (Splatoon)
- New: Great Plateau (Zelda: Breath of the Wild)
- Returning: Summit (Ice Climbers/returning from Brawl)
(I also think Miiverse is going to be cut. :/ I also think we'll probably see at least some of the Smash 3DS stages finally make the jump to HD for Smash Switch.)
Switch being more powerful is the perfect excuse to break roster parity and add Ice Climbers and Inklings. Between the Ice Climbers in 8-Player Smash, and the ink effects of the Inkling (assuming they feature ink effects), Sakurai could always just say, "Sorry 3DS and WiiU players, it's just not technically feasible to get these characters running on those versions of the game. Please buy Smash 4 Switch!"I still think Ice Climbers coming back is a bit based on if 8 Player Smash will come back. I don't believe they would work with 8 player Smash as they already had to remove some bones and features from the stages. That being said, the Switch will be more powerful so it might not be an issue.
Ha, I really do wonder if they'll keep the Miiverse stage. Every time I play it, I see sexually explicit art and racist phrases.
I wouldn't be disappointed if they are going to get rid of online feature for Miiverse. I played in that stage once in awhile so I always see racists, exotic fanarts, movie spoilers, and terrible things from Miiverse Stage. My friends complained that they got their movies ruined by jerks online who would post spoilers on day 1.
However, I have a counter suggestion for them what to do with the stage. They could pick like 10 best comments and 10 best artworks they could find from Miiverse, and use them for preset choices per characters.
While I agree that the spoiler angle really sucks and I personally know people who have fallen victim to it... Smash 4 just isn't Smash 4 without being able to see crude art of two penises kissing when you land a KO with Mega Man.
It's precisely because Nintendo seems to have completely given up on Miiverse moderation that the Miiverse stage is so awesome/terrible/funny/ghastly. Of course, it makes complete sense that they wouldn't bring it back (at least with online functionality), but damn will I miss it...
My favorite art on the Miiverse stage was Ryu with penis hands launching a jizz-ball hadoken at a vagina. Although I'm not sure which character was supposed to be the vagina. I really wish the artist had been more thoughtful and at least labeled the vagina character for clarity!While I agree that the spoiler angle really sucks and I personally know people who have fallen victim to it...

All of these predictions are boring.
#Noctis4Smash
If you don't include snake, you're dead to meAll of these predictions are boring.
#Noctis4Smash
Ha, no, I'm not sure what my predictions are yet.Is that your final prediction?
You know I want Snake more than anything! If this was a simple matter of what we want, Snake would be top of the list. MGSV is like a Top 10 GOAT for me.If you don't include snake, you're dead to me
May as well give this one a shot! I still remember I was the only person on GAF to predict Villager in the last roster prediction thread, lol.
Here are my predictions:
Returning Veterans:
Newcomers—Existing Series:
- Ice Climbers
[*]Wolf
[*]Snake
Newcomers—New Series:
- Paper Mario
- Decidueye (Pokémon Sun & Moon)
- Elma (Xenoblade Chronicles X)
- Inkling (Splatoon)
- Chorus Kids (Rhythm Heaven)
Stages:
Realistically, I expect a minimum of 3 new characters and a maximum of 8. I shot for a higher number of characters here for more variety. In addition to the 8 that I've listed here for the contest, Dixie Kong, King K. Rool, and Takamaru are also on my personal list of possible newcomers, but they didn't make the cut here.
- Summit (Brawl)
- Urchin Underpass (Splatoon)
- Rhythm Heaven
