I don't know why people have been seriously predicting appearances like Crono. C'mon guys, black mage? Ryu? Simon Belmont? You need characters whose inherent abilities translate into sensible movesets, and, moreover, fit the overall "Smash Bros. theme" well. Sonic and Megaman fill the bill quite nicely.
MegaMan would only be a Samus clone...
The one I'm most interested is Sonic, although his last shitty games have put him in a bad position.
