i like the ice climbers, good game

The Ice Climbers look amazing. The fur on their coats looks so good.

And...you totally made up that 99% statistic. I'd say it's more like 75%, we're just making up numbers. I'm fairly confident Ness will come back, but there's always that chance another Earthbound character could replace him. If the Ice Climbers could make it back, I expect only a few Melee characters to get cut.

If any characters got cut, I'd put my money on Roy, Pichu, and Dr. Mario.

okay, if ness doesn't get back im gonna cut myself and carve the word Ness in it

i mean it :P

and Young Link.  I'm pretty sure all 4 of those are cut.   

Yeah...but a Wind Waker Link is possible. Personally, I don't think it'll happen...but I do think a Wind Waker Link will be in the game before Young Link returns...

Keep or remove them, just make it so that there are fewer clones (none would be preferable).

The Ice Climbers look incredibly better compared to Melee...

I wouldn't be surprised to see some "CGI BS!" claims again.

And yeah, Young Link is out. 

No clones in this game is confirmed.

Look for clones in SSBB Episode II: Attack of the Clones. "They were cut in Episode I, but now they're back, and they're pissed."
