- Skull Kid

OMG YES YES YES pleasssseeee 

I fear that we'll get a BOTW rep before Skull Kid though (or more likely just no DLC Zelda rep at all) 

The next Zelda rep will probably be another Link, they seem to have the highest chance. Maybe a Dark Link echo or Fierce Deity Link.

The obvious and magnificent, Bandana Dee !

 

Truth be told! Give him is obvious moveset mixed with parasol ability

1. Bandanna Dee - for a series whose most recent game brings back a ton of characters that most would assume got retconned out of existence, Kirby's representation in Smash Bros feels suspiciously small. and out of any of the characters that could join from the Kirby series, its most likely the one that was part of the starting 4 in Star Allies

2. Geno - we saw Geno for a split second during some flashes of Spirit characters, indicating that Sakurai knows fans still remember him. he was also a Mii Fighter skin in Smash 4, along with Inklings, K Rool, and Isabelle. the stage is pretty much set for him to come in as a new fighter

3. Rayman - Rayman got a trophy in Smash 4 which was a nice nod, but I am confident he will be a character this time around. mainly because he is not an assist trophy. In the assist trophy montages a ton of possible choices got axed- Isaac, Shadow, Black Knight, Bomberman, Waluigi, etc. Rayman was not though, and given that Ubisoft is one of the most supportive third parties for the Switch right now, i could totally see them lending the character to Smash Bros, especially since most of his moveset is already done.

4. Slime (Dragon Quest) - remember what Sakurai said- only those who are confident in the value of the fighter pass should buy it. thats why I really do think Slime will be in the roster. Nobody would suspect him, nobody would even be able to think of a moveset for him (much in the same vein as Piranha Plant), and yet he is still a very recognizable character from one of Japan's most popular series, and if ANY other Square Enix game were to get representation, it would be Dragon Quest.

5. Steve (Minecraft) - at this point, there is no barrier for entry that Minecraft does not exceed. Cloud got in Smash Bros before even being a character on a Nintendo platform. Piranha Plant got in despite nobody even suggesting him. Bayonetta got in and is not even that iconic of a video game series. Snake is returning along with Simon and Richter, who are from Konami, the company which has essentially sworn off AAA development. now look at Minecraft. excluding Tetris, Minecraft is the best selling video game of all time. Microsoft is even open to working with Nintendo to put characters in the game. and Steve actually has a ton of potential for a moveset. he has a sword, he can throw splash potions, he can place TNT, newer items in the game give him the ability to glide and hold a shield, and thats just scratching the surface. i will gladly eat my words if anyone can give me a reasonable excuse as to why he couldnt be in the game.



Sakurai on his twitter just said that DLC is finalized and was completely chosen by Nintendo. I think this raises the chances of the characters I picked, and lowers some of the characters like Geno

Also nintendo will pick the popular charcaters not in yet. So maybe like this...

 

1) Bandana Dee (Staple in Kirby series)

2) Dixie Kong

3) ARMS character (Minmin/Twintelle/Helix?)

4) Captain Toad (thrownin Toadette as Echo or alt)

5) Paper Mario

I'm not sure how good these characters are for dlc picks tho

We know we will at least get 5 dlc characters, and we will most likely know all of them by this time next year. I wonder who can most accurately guess them. I'll Start. No particular order 

1. Sora or a DQ character

2.Elma

3. Joker from Persona 5 

4. Steve from Minecraft

5. Fire Emblem Three houses rep 

I could either be dead wrong or spot on. 

After reviewing my list a bit more, I could see Joker being switched with a Yokai Watch character(I think his name is Jibanyan?).

I don't think that raises or lowers your selection at all

Nintendo choosing probably means they are going to go for characters that ppl want but are related to IPs they themselves want to push.

i actually think that lowers the 3rd party output.

But of course it will be fun to see who they actually do decide on.

Having anyone of these characters does benefit them atleast, as they all have some type of games on a Nintendo system. Plus I can't think of that many other first parties characters that seems appropriate 



The fact that Nintendo made the selections almost entirely kills Geno's chances off completely then. Edelgard's as good as confirmed, gotta have a new FE rep to push Three Houses next year.

I don't think 3rd parties have a good chance of getting in (Besides maybe Jeanne as a Bayo echo, but I think she'll be distributed separately as free DLC close to Bayo 3's release; possibly a SMT5 character nearer to that game's release) unless Square is sending another exclusive game to Nintendo; Why would someone from Kingdom Hearts, Persona or even Banjo Kazooie get in if those games aren't coming to Switch? It goes directly against Nintendo's interests to have them in.



Nintendo have confirmed they've decided on the 5 DLC characters, judging but what is more likely from them my guess on the five are:

- Main character from Fire Emblem Three Houses.
- A Xenoblade 2 character maybe possibly Jin if they don't go for Rex.
- Dante from DMC as the surprise character.
- Another Zelda representative following BOTW taking the series to a new high.
- Either a Tekken or Virtua Fighter rep.
