*Still Updating!

First off, lets take a moment and welcome the already 33 announced and playable characters! With 24 Veterans returning and 9 newcomers, (11 if Mii's count as 3 characters) the roster is just 6 away from Brawls Total (or 4 as mii's count :P)

Now lets see what is left of the Super Smash Bros Roster! We Can expect at Least For the Final Count.

So First off before we begin the speculation of the final roster, lets take a look of who are missing from SSBB as there are 15 not represented in SSB4! (Bigger Pics means announced characters/smaller means hidden characters)

~The Missing 13 (excluding Squirtle+Ivysaur as they are 99% sure to be cut unfortunately :'-(

Before I break down the Veterans of who definitely/maybe/will not be in, lets take a look at the Upcoming Newcomers not yet announced.

Here is a link to the infamous leaker of SSB4⇒ http://gematsu.com/2014/04/rumor-shulk-palutena-set-super-smash-bros

How is his track record? He has announced at 2 different dates 11 newcomers that would be in the game. Of the 9 known characters, he's been right about all of them, with the exception of announcing Rosalina!

First leak was before E3 2013 stating Villager/Megaman/Pacman/Little Mac/Mii's and the most Bizarre yet so TRUE Wii Fit Trainer. All 6 has been confirmed.

Second leak before SSB Direct he revealed another 5 newcomers. The confirmed Palutena, An XY pokemon (Greninja confirmed), and the 3 others that potentially can join the fight!!! Chrom + Shulk + Chorus Men! Yes F***ing Chorus Men!

Lets break it down for the remaining 3 and why i believe this will happen.

★Chrom~ The most likely newcomer but now many believe he has no chance whatsoever with Ike's return. We'll that might be premature as he might play very different despite all 3 being "Blue Hair Swordsman" and he comes from by far the most popular FE game of all time"!

★Shulk~ Who's this? Only the protagonist of Xenoblade Chronicles and a very big character who many supporters want playable in SSB. He would easily represent Monolith Soft (or just the Xenoblade Franchise). As of now, no representation has shown any sign of Xenoblade in SSB4 (Items/Assist Trophy/Stages/Enemies/etc)

★Chorus Men~ Yeah, like no F***ing Way Right??? "Rob *cough, Wii Fit Trainer *cough cough Game+Watch!" Seriously though I cant believe this but doing research and seeing this character comes from a franchise called Rhytym Heaven which is indeed very popular in japan. What makes his case stronger than ever is this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeBbvPbL4U8 . We can see an enemy from the franchise pop up in the video. Enjoy!

Now if all them are including that is 36 Total characters and 12 being newcomers!

Lets move onto the final stage!!! The Veterans... These are all opinionated, so " pls understand "

♥ The "Stop Whining Already, they are Coming Back 100% Guaranteed" Veteran Tier ♥

~Captain Falcon: Wow I hear so many "He hasnt been confirmed yet" or "He's being Cut". Dafuq is wromg with you??? He's F Zero and he is Super Smash! He's Coming, Stop Whining! Whiners :P

~Ness: Right behind C Falcon, this is the second most annoying thing I hear about returning veterans, Earthbound poster boy, nuff said. So Shut Up!!!!!!

~Ice Climbers: Well they been in 2 games.... Oh yeah they represent the damn Ice Climbers franchise..... and the polar bear is an enemy in Smash Run. So include them in

~Mr Game and Watch: Yeah he's the most iconic character for Nintendo and he literally was semi confirmed in the Pacman Trailer. Include him in :)

~Ganondorf: He's the Bowser of Zelda and claimed to be one of the baddest bad guys. Only thing I can say is with how great SSB4 is shaping up in terms of Veterans, I think Ganon will finally be a true Ganon, instead of the Slow Clone of C Falcon (Plssssssss!)

~Falco: Last Character I guarantee will be in the game. He's been in both SSBM+SSBB and if they cut somebody, it be Wolf (sad to admit). He's also sooooo popular in the Smash Community!

★ The "Should Definitely Make It In, But Slight Chance They Wont" Veteran Tier ★

~Wario: Dont see why not, He also has representation in SSB from the Wario Ware. So let him back in :0

~R.O.B: You either love him or hate him (or It!). Very unique, i see why he cant return!

Opening up my analysis! Pls tell me your opinions, currently working on all veterans!

I couldn't care less about Shulk, but if it mean I get a Xenoblade stage, go Shulk go! Get in there!

"Seven" would be way more interesting but I get it, protagonist and all.

I'm all for JRPG rep.

Not sure if i was talking to you about him(about to say so hold on), but they definitely need to put in 2 characters in the game for franchise representation, unfortunately 1 of them is already returning as an assist trophy (Saki from Sin+Punishment).

The other of course is Isaac from Golden Sun! (JRPG character!). Im working on the veteran analysis above, but at the end, i want to talk about 3 other characters, he being one of them. Isaac like Little Mac in the last game were both assist trophies and now little mac is confirmed to be playable! Isaac has not been shown at all yet in this game, which makes me believe he will return as a playable character!!!

Yep you were, I'm all for it!

Lets hope, im in for franchise representation, and Isaac is enough for it! Definitely was popular in the GBA era. Im actually about to but GS on the WiiU this week. I cant believe i missed out on this, especially being a nintendo fanboy  :P

I hope Wario comes back.

Hahaha even I've played it xD and I'm not even a Nintendo guy. I was a big Gameboy fan as a kid, and used to emulate the crap out of games back before I had a steady flow of money.

I agree about Ness and C.Falco. The only one from the original game i can see not coming back is jigglypuff.

I believe Ice Climbers and Metal Knight can come back too.

Let's hope for Chrom and Shulk.
