As i was saying in the mod-chat

bring in 10 new characters (2 of which we now know) and cut 5 old ones

Cut: Snake, Lucas, Lucario, Ike, Wolf

Bring in: (aside from Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, and Megaman), Shulk, Zoroark, Chrom, Little Mac, Bayonetta, Starfy, and Lucina

Why these specific choices for characters to cut, might I ask? Just personal preference? Lucas I agree with, since I, for one, think the roster should be purged of the filthy clone character scum, but I'd consider Falco a better choice than Wolf, as the former is much more similar to Fox. Of course, the Melee elitists would haaaate that, but judging by how much this game resembles Brawl based on the little footage we have of it, I wouldn't be shocked to learn that a number of Meleelitists were already determined to hate the game.

Lucario and Ike, as I understand, were simply representatives of the latest installments in their respective franchises, so out with them. I myself wouldn't mind seeing Snake go either, but he is one of the more popular characters, so wouldn't count on it.

On another note, after watching that Developer Direct video in its entirety, Yoga Trainer actually doesn't look half bad.

Wolf largely because Falco is sort of grandfathered in (since he wasn't purged immediately, now we're sort of stuck with him).

Snake because he doesn't belong. Kojima got his favor (and repaid us with a ripoff MGS3 remake that had its legs cut off by the HD collection). Time for Snake to go.
