Hmm, this was Lucario's sleep animation in Brawl. And only one character could inflict that.
B E L I E V E !
Togepi with Metronome? Bellossom with Sleep Powder?

PLEASE STOP RUINING MY DREAMS THANK YOU
But seriously, I doubt we'll see a return of the melee pokemon. I don't know why, just a hunch.

Now I just feel like you're being argumentative for the sake of arguing, so I'm done replying to you.
Jiggly has been in every Smash game, I see no reason for her to not be back.

I want my Mewtwo!
Edit:
You know, I hate her with a passion, but somehow, I alsways end up using her sometimes, and Jigglypuff is one character I don't want removed. Nostalgia?
http://tamashii.jp/item/10605/ oh look what also went up tonight featuring lucario
Melee had 26 characters, many of them clones, and jumped to 39 characters (spanning 35 slots) in Brawl.
They started work on SSB4 by porting over Brawl in its entirety. Sakurai went on the record about this.
It would seem relatively simple to retain all of Brawl's characters, add in Mewtwo as they had originally planned with Brawl (as we know from leftover data on disk), and then they're free to spend the bulk of dev time adding new characters.
I can easily see the game exceeding 50 characters.

Dont forget DLC. even Ninty can see that DLC would be okay for smash.
Can I get a link to where he said that?
I might be mistaken but I recall Sakurai saying Smash 4 will have about the same roster size as Brawl.
45 minimum is my guess.
If that's true, I will be pleasantly surprised, and pleased.

How are Palutena fans "salty"? Hahah all I saw was rejoicing with all of Sakurais posts this week.
Palutena fans will be salty when they have no more hope.
which will be never.

Capcom is going to do SOMETHING that ends up getting Mega Man cut. I can just feel it.
I'm trying to find the story. I recall Sakurai stating that before development began in earnest, what sounded like a preliminary team kicked things off by porting Brawl to the WiiU, at least. It was around the same time (probably even the same story) where Sakurai started talking about how balance would be handled. At the time, I think he said others would balance it, but he's since changed his tune there.

Good. What you said was so flawed I had to laugh at that.
I'd suggest you all prepare for a roster size <40. Sakurai has already mentioned that the roster size is limited by the 3DS version and that they wouldn't even be able to keep all of the characters from previous games.
Also, Nintendo probably can't find another dozen relevant new characters without getting into Waluigi territory.

The thing is, there aren't that many new Pokémon in the new generation, and only a few from last one that would fit in this.
However, this happened
Which changes things somewhat. I would be very surprised if Mega Lucario is not the final smash.
hmm... If that's true and 4 was built off of a port of Brawl's engine I'm going to be pretty disappointed.
I really hope 4 feels different than Brawl.

He isn't as popular but I would have liked Greninja. Lucario is a tad boring.

People who think Lucario being in somehow means Mewtwo won't be in make me laugh.
Nice to see another Pokemon rep confirmed! And it's interesting how Lucario was their choice for the second reveal. I wonder if that means that Pokemon Trainer is cut or revised somewhat?

I wonder if that character's even doable on 3DS.
It was expected it was building up to a Palutena reveal. LOLnope
Ah, that's good to hear. I'm not as concerned about who should or shouldn't be cut anymore.

Lucario wasn't the only one who got a Mega Evolution, so I don't think Mewtwo fans should lose hope just yet. The only conundrum... Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y?!
I'm really really pumped to see that Lucario remains in the game. He was one of my favorites in Brawl. And his aura got buffed? That's just excellent, really complements the risk vs reward intent of the character. I do hope that the lack of newcomers is just because they're playing a bunch close to the vest, though.

Newcomers don't get revealed outside of Nintendo Directs. If we have one of them and a newcomer other than Palutena is revealed, then they can start panicking.

I swear this "reached our limit" has become the new "up until now".
No, I'm confident we'll see more than just the 39 threshold there was with Brawl. A 3DS cartridge is capable of holding the same mount of data as Brawl's disc, and considering Sakurai isn't spending half of his resources developing a bloated single player mode (go read some stories about the compression issues with Subspace Emissary), with possibly a larger team; he will have no problem adding more characters.

OH hahah yeah I'm personally not getting any hopes up until a direct is announced.
Only then will I be salty.

People, people, people, why are you worried? Sugimori left messages.
Didn't know Japanese kids are furries. You people are like the worst, focusing on a narrow selection because it's the "popularity" you see but not the wider, mass appealing one.
His debut movie has him unique enough to have a heroic character. In DPPt his egg is given in a sidequest. Merchandising. Hooked up kids, etc.

In X& Y, it's the first foray into Mega Evolution, too.

Poor Mewtwo. Look how ugly his Mega Evos are next to Lucario's. No wonder the fanboys are salty.

Cool. Glad to see another character returning. I never used Lucario, but obviously he has a lot of fans and it's great to see them happy, so count me in as one that's down with the mack.

Furry.
... Not "hating" or trying to be funny, it's well known that the furry fan base in the Pokemon fandom runs deep and Lucario stuck a strong note with them.
Anyway, this doesn't mean Mewtwo is a no go nor does it mean we're not getting a 6th genner rep. My money's on Sylveon.

You don't know any better than I do. I got the right translation. I still think it's going to be a small roster. Sakurai stated that the 3DS was limiting when it came to characters. Furthermore, we know that there will be cuts and when you combine that with the fact that there probably aren't a bunch of great characters left at this point to replace them AND add several more, I think a smaller roster is a definite possibility. I don't know if it's really going to be <40 but I wouldn't rule it out.

Why do people insist on "furry"?
Why do people forget that Pokemon is very big in Japan towards KIDS? You know, the fans?!

because inflammatory statements to get people riled up
It's very big everywhere. X & Y sold 11.61 million units in 2 and a half months. That's more than all but 3 Xbox 360 games and all but 1 Playstation 3 games have ever done.
