Name 5-10 of the "MOST" Likeliest 1st Party Characters to make it into SSB Switch as Newcomers!

[PAOerfulone]

1) Spring Man and Ribbon Girl - ARMS has proven to be a successful new IP and Spring Man & Ribbon Girl are the mascots.
2) Rex with Pyra/Mythra - Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has helped the Xenoblade franchise ascend to a higher level and I am very confident that this game will be rewarded by having its own representative in Smash Bros. And who better than the main characters? I also think that they could create a really interesting, unique, and just awesome fighter with Rex if he has Pyra and Mythra supporting him here.

3) Gen 7 Pokemon - They'll most likely with one of the starters, specifically in their evolved forms, either Decidueye or Incineroar. I think Incineroar could work the most because of the whole wrestling gimmick he has going for him, though the thing he'd have going against him would be that he'd be another Fire type Pokemon if Charizard comes back. And if Greninja returns as well to represent Gen 6, that would leave just a Grass type Pokemon needed and because of that, I think Decidueye would get the nod over Incineroar.

4) Elma - With the entire Wii U library being ported over to the Switch, as it would seem, I think it's only a matter of time before we get Xenoblade Chronicles X. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if that comes out this year. As a result, I think Elma, being the main character of that game, could get the nod to help sell that game again and achieve greater numbers, especially with the great success of '2'. And by having all 3 main protagonists of all 3 Xenoblade games, Shulk, Elma, and Rex, to represent the series would be another step in helping that franchise grow even further in popularity. Kind of like what Marth and Roy did for Fire Emblem in Melee, and what Lucina, Robin, and Corrin did for Awakening and Fates in Smash 4.

5) Breath of the Wild Champion(s) - I am very confident that we will get at least one of the Champions as a newcomer for Smash Switch. With Breath of the Wild's record-breaking sales, Zelda's popularity is at an all-time high. As a result, I think the Zelda series will get quite a bit more representation this time around. And we already know that it will be based on Breath of the Wild because it's that game's Link that was shown in the teaser and not Twilight Princess Link. The cool thing about this is that all 4 of them could be really great characters to play as. Out of the 4, I think Revali is the one that interests me the most because he would be the most different from the rest of the Zelda characters with his ability with the Bow and Arrow and being able to fly as part of the Rito tribe. Daruk would be the big, strong brute, basically a stronger, but slower Ganondorf, in the same class as Bowser in that regard. Urbosa would be somewhat of a bridge between Sheik and Ganondorf. Mipha also interests me, almost as much as Revali, in that her fighting abilities with her Spear and Water abilities as a Zora can really make her stand on her on as much as Revali. Honestly, I'd be OK with either one of these 4.
