If?
Don't you mean, WHEN, we get Smash 5.
And no characters should be cut in my view, I thought it was dumb that Ice Climbers got cut after they were in both Melee and Brawl.
In a perfect scenario that SHOULD happen, they should just announce that every single character from Smash 4, both launch and DLC, will be coming back and available from the start in Smash 5. That way, instead of speculating, "Who's coming back?", we can speculate, "Who's joining the fight?"
The latter, in my view, is waaay more exciting to speculate. I mean which one do you guys think caused a bigger meltdown, Sonic coming back or Cloud making his debut?
At this point, there should be no reason whatsoever to cut any characters or stages that were in Smash 4 from Smash 5. Nintendo, at this point, should be thinking "How can we make this even BIGGER than what it is now?" "What can we do or add to make this a much bigger deal than it is now?" "How do we make our great franchise even greater?"
Edit" While we're at it, bring Pichu, Young Link, Ivysaur, Squirte, Wolf, Snake, and Ice Climbers back! Yeah, most of them are clone characters; So?? It just means more characters to play as and to choose from.
Every character from the past 4 Smash Bros. games should be announced to be in the roster from the start, so that every "New Challenger Approaching" alert will be a Brand New Character to the series, 100% guaranteed. Whether it's another Mario character (would love Waluigi), another Zelda character (sobbing..IMPAAAAAAAA...), Cranky Kong, K. Rool, or another 3rd party character, all it would serve is to add to the legacy and greatness of Smash Bros.
Super Smash Bros., ever since Melee, has evolved from being a celebration of Nintendo, to a celebration of gaming in general.
