Yes he stated his 1st priority was to balance out characters (which seems to be the case cuz alot of buffs to lower tier characters).
As for newcomers SSBB had (yes im counting Pokemon Trainer as 3 cuz Squirtle/Ivy/Charizard) 18 new playable ones. I thnk he wanted us to kno dont expect another 15-20 added. So with 6 new ones, i think 10-12 is a safe bet.
That said there are 30 characters (24 veterans) with almost guarantee of Squirtle/Ivy cut. If everybody else did return (im going to exclude Snake too) then that means there would be now 42 characters. add 4-6 newcomers 46-48 total. (this is without mre cuts).
i think Wolf is gone and Lucas too, so i expect 44-46 characters
