At the very least, we can be pretty confident that Ice Climbers, Captain Falcon, Ness, and Wario will return. Meta Knight and Lucas are less certain.

why are you confident about Ice Climbers?  just curious.  (i was surprised myself when they were back for Brawl)

They're unique, from an otherwise-unrepresented franchise, they were given starter status in both Melee and Brawl, and their game was re-released on the Wii, 3DS, and Wii U virtual consoles.

Besides, they'd be relatively easy to add to the game, since outside of a couple of animations like the up-special, pretty much all of their animations are just duplication, and would be able to be transferred almost entirely from Brawl with minimal tweaking. So really, the only real element to handle would be the automation of Nana when separated from Popo, which would probably be handled the same way as Luma, the Pikmin, and any other characters that can act independently.

In short, I see Ice Climbers as a no-brainer inclusion.
