That's probably because they don't have any other Mario characters, meaning no Rosalina. Too bad your theory is already proven false lol! Rosalina can still be announced, There are 4 Mario characters in SSB, If you dont count Yoshi/Wario. SSBM had 5 (A clone which was Dr. Mario). There is still a good chance Bowser Jr or Rosalina can be in the new game. There was no new person in SSBB also factor in pokemon had the most appearances of all franchises! Then where is the proof? Sure there's no solid proof that those instances weren't more than mere coincidences, but cmon it's so obvious! Actually thinking back on it, when he revealed Xerneas right around X/Y, he basically said he showed it because of X/Y, though in a trollish manner. You said since they showed this stage first then that means that wont show rosalina right? Well look at Fire Emblem stage on 3DS. Shown first but later revealed Marth. Also they will reveal Chrom next as the new challenger in the series. Also the launch is next week. We have to wait and see if he surprises us. Not to mention only Toon Link was showcased on that characters game released. Sonic was shown 2-3 weeks before Sonic LW debuted!!!

Well, that's a bold assumption.  Ike will be shown as a Fire Emblem rep before they show Chrom (who's inclusion I am somewhat iffy on.)  I will make an official vgchartz bet with you, I am that confident.

On topic, no, I don't think Rosalina will be shown.  No new characters have been shown on the daily pics, and it would be weird to start that now with Rosalina.  Besides, today would have been the day to do it (SM3DW's Japanese launch date.)

I want Rosalina as a Peach costume. Exact same move, replace toad as a shield for a baby star... But I don't want her as a full character. But if she is really different and not a peach clone I would'nt mind her as a full character, especyaly considering that Brawl was weak on female characters (not one single new female character in the entire Brawl roster unless you count Zero Suit Samus).

I'd say Mario franchise is at capacity for representatives.

Dr. Mario would beg to differ, four is a pretty small number for the flagship franchise.   Even Star Fox, which doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things, had 3 reps last game.

That being said, I will say that Mario has all of it's important characters repped,and I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't get a new character.  Especially since characters that aredn't technically Mario characters, like Yoshi and Wario, are basically Mario characters.

Since Peach is there as well as the Good Egg Galaxy stage, I believe Rosalina could be in the game, no doubt.
