Characters in Super Smash Bros. WiiU / 3DS

22-30 15 17.44%
 
30-35 24 27.91%
 
35+ 47 54.65%
 
Total:86

I'm going to guess between 27 and 32. We'll get Yoshi, Ness, Captain Falcon, and Jigglypuff, they've been there from the beginning, and probably Chrom for the traditional 2 Fire Emblem characters, Ganondorf (unless they choose a different Zelda villain), and another Star Fox character, most likely Falco but possibly one that they could make less cloney. We might see Diddy around the release of Tropical Freeze, and maybe Dixie if they're feeling generous. Namco might get a third party guest for helping to develop. Sheik will also probably be revealed later, but I don't count that as another character. Mr. Game and Watch I could see happening just because of what he represents for Nintendo, and Wario I could see happening since Ashley is already confirmed as an assist trophy. Aside from that, they might have a few new characters they're hiding. Everyone seems to think the wrestling stage means Little Mac, and a lot of people are speculating Miis, which after Wii Fit Trainer wouldn't surprise me. The only other major franchise that I could see getting a character would be something to represent X. Add all that together, and you'd still not have more than Brawl, but we won't see all of this, these are only a few possibilities I see. I'm with OP, I expect less than 30.

35+ cause I think they will keep the tradition of having a larger roster with each new game so maybe 40... I am sure a lot of the basic characters are gonna come back like Captain Falcon and etc



                  

PC Specs: CPU: 7800X3D || GPU: Strix 4090 || RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 || Main SSD: WD 2TB SN850

Tbh I'd hope everyone from Melee and Brawl return, plus new comers for a total of around 45.

Edit: If Nintendo treats this like Mario Kart, then we'll get about two-thirds for the portable.

Gaming on: PS4 Pro, Switch, SNES Mini, Wii U, PC (i5-7400, GTX 1060)

I would have said 35-40 before Toon Link's reveal. After that, all bets are off. 45?



25 ship with the game and 10-20 dlc characters...

44 is my magic number so far (that's 44 slots, not counting characters who may actually be more than one character, like Pokemon Trainer or Sheik/Zelda).

Before Lucario was revealed, this was my prediction roster



Cut Zoroark for Lucario, i guess...



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

What are the possibilities of platform exclusive characters?
I feel like they should to incite people to buy both versions.

None! Funny thing is this should of been seperate titles like other franchise imo. Aka MK7~MK8 NSMB2~NSMBU. We dont have an answer yet but there will be some type of 3ds exclusive character customization. Also you can transer it to the wiiu?

I expect about the same amount as Brawl, maybe a little more.



33.
