I think it will be....RIDLEY!!!!

But if not its Shulk, he is in but....i WANT Ridley to be the one!!!!

I don't know if it has been reported here yet, but Sakurai said on Miiverse ''Looks like we're nearing the bottom of the stash of new challenger videos that we've made''. Idk if it means that they are almost out of new characters to announce or if this will litteraly be the last.

If it's the later, I really hope they announce someone awsome since this will mean we won't get Chrom, Shulk, Krystal, King.K.Rool or Isaac. So whoever this is, alot of ppl will be disapointed by the confirmation that these characters won't be in the game. So it better not be a new Wii Fit Trainer, Villager or Mii kind of character! It needs to be as awsome as Mega Man (altho none come to mind to be as awsome as Mega Man but atleast someone close to that).

The only character that I think will make fans happy enough to let them forgive the fact that other characters they begged for won't be in the game would be Bayonetta.

God... Smash Bros. without a good ol' Falcon Punch is just not the same... Captain Falcon please.

This will be big.

Therefore either of :

Ridley........Bayonetta!!! (please please please her please lol.)

I just hope they improve him, because he SUCKED in Brawl...

So, I was wondering why they're revealing it now, and I realised that they've timed the reveal to be on the same day in pretty much all regions (East Coast Australia + NZ excepted). So I started looking into release dates of games in various franchises, and I found...

F-Zero X, released July 14th, 1998 in Japan.
Star Fox 64 3D, released July 14th, 2011 in Japan.
Donkey Kong 3 (the arcade game), released July 14th, 2008 in America on Wii VC.
Yoshi's Safari, released July 14th, 1993 in Japan.
Super Mario All-Stars, released July 14th, 1993 in Japan.

EDIT: Personally, I'm hoping for Takamaru, and expecting Chrom.

I hope it's not Captain Falcon. It's obvious he is in it, I don't want them to waste a livestream for a veteran that is going to be in 100%.

Hope it's a newcomer.

why wouldnt they show it during evo

The most awesome epic reveal of all time would be the "Villain Trailer"

Starts off with Mario+Link+Samus+Pikachu adventuring, then they come across "Mewtwo" as a returning character from Melee! After mewtwo throws down, "Ganondorf" will appear with magic (a new moveset)! After a min of that epicness....

"Newcomer Ridley" Flys down and starts F***ing Shit up

If this happened, omg that world be insane

As far as newcomers go, i think we're done with Pokemon. In fact, as far as Pokemon goes, i think only Jigglypuff is left.
