Assuming you mean as a full newcomer instead of like a clone -- I like Funky but that would be terrible. Funky shouldn't get in before either. Heck, he shouldn't get in before Cranky.
Funky and Dixie would both be great last-minute clones. /s
The concept behind the character was to have a bunch of different COs pop out of the top of the tank based on the b move, because I didn't think any one character was an ideal rep. The neotank made sense as a base because it has legs. Also, I think you're crazy because it's adorable.

I think Ridley would be perfect announcement for E3 since mostly western fans want him in. Don't get me wrong since I'm not sure about Japanese fans' opinions about Ridley.
Well, it's because I personally don't believe there's going to be any roster cuts from 'for,' DLC roster included, and that they'll likely bring back at least Ice Climbers and maybe Wolf too (Snake would be a dream). Even adding 5-6 new characters to that number is a huge undertaking for two years, especially considering at least Link, and possibly Mario and Zelda, at least, are going to be given refreshed move-sets.
I agree with the first sentence of your post. I think that the entire Smash 4 roster is here to stay at this point, but with Ice Climbers, Wolf and around 11 newcomers added in. Here's why I think this is definitely possible (and fairly likely):
Smash 4's project plan created in April 2012, and Smash 3DS released in October 2014 (though it was likely already done in August, as the content was finalised enough for the ESRB to rate) with 17 newcomers (15 not including the other two Mii types, if you want to be picky). This means that Smash 4 was in development for at least 2 years and 4 months, give or take some pre-planning before the project plan was complete and some time at the end of development because we don't know exactly when the game went gold.
Now for what we know about Smash Switch: in January 2016, Sakurai confirmed through a Famitsu article that he was "taking a breather" before his next project (which was already decided at that point), and he made it clear that this would not be a long break. In November of that year he confirmed he was working a game at that point, and in December talked about how he purchased a model kit to use the included rifle as reference for this game. Now we are in May 2018, over two years from when the project plan for this game was likely created and finalised. Why is it so unbelievable that we could get over 5-6 newcomers in this time, when Smash 4 managed 17 in a similar time span?
Well, Xenoblade 2 did start planning in July 2014(way before X even released), which means it's pretty much a guarantee that Rex and Pyra would have been finalised as characters by the time Sakurai was putting together the project plan for this game. Though yeah, if they (somehow) don't make it into the base game they are guaranteed DLC, seeing as Sakurai adores their game.

I hope that you would get your dream coming true even it's really extremely small chance.
I'm expecting the same thing but I hope that we would able to get couple of trailers later on. Also it would be great if we could get a trailer where we would see battles between Nintendo characters and Third Party characters.
So long as Rex & Pyra get in, I'll be happy. They can be DLC, I won't mind, haha.
If there's not a second Xenoblade character in the base game, I could see Rex & Pyra being DLC. But if we get Elma or something, I don't really see the timing being such that at this point they'd go back to add a XC2 character.
I rather he remain an Assist. The Mario representation is saturated...
Not really sure what your getting at here.
Lucina and Robin didn't stop Roy and Corrin from getting in.
Ideally at E3 we would get a trailer similar to Brawl's reveal, with 5 or so reveals including Inkling gameplay. Then they can move directly into live gameplay on Treehouse Live.
As for who the characters could be, my guess is that they will use some popular relevant characters, some obscure/WTF choice, and end it on a 3rd party shocker.

Corrin's game released while they were working on Smash 4's DLC, whereas Rex and Pyra's game will be more than a year old by the time any hypothetical Smash Switch DLC begins
I'm assuming they'll save live gameplay for the invitational, since it's happening later that day
Oh snap it's RogersBase
My dream for E3 would be them talking bout a game, then dropping a trailer where the character from that game goes to Smash (hopefully Captain Toad or Dixie)
Then they talk bout smash for a bit, and later throw another trailer. They talk some more, and end the conference with 1-2 "WAIT WHAT" choices
Then Treehouse

So they'll just be watching pre-recorded footage of the game on the treehouse?
I mean shouldn't that mean it's more likely that they could be DLC then?
I doubt they care if a game that sold well is a year old.
Plus they were talking about how adding someone like Elma made it less likely which I still don't understand.
news to me!So they'll just be watching pre-recorded footage of the game on the treehouse?
also, I momentarily thought that palm tree was Master Hand, which would've been fun
This poster speaks the truth. Many people tend to forget that Sakurai also worked on Kid Icarus between Brawl and Smash 4, and conflate that with a super long dev time. In addition, Sakurai was working on two versions at the same time for Smash 4. No reason he wouldn't be able to get a new game out in time for switch, especially considering the power difference with the Wii U is not large
it's kinda hard to say what's "more likely" in the case of first party DLC newcomers, since we've only ever gotten one of those
the timing issue's obviously different than it is for characters in the main roster, but you can't really figure out a pattern when it's Just One Guy
Seems pretty unlikely a series as small as Xenoblade will get multiple unique newcomers, especially when there's no game currently in its promotional window.
I don't care who else gets in as long as Isaac and Ice Climbers get in. I'll even be okay with Daisy and Ridley getting in.
With Smash 4 having quite a few "holy shit how is this character in smash" type characters I can't really think of many others that could be added into Smash 5. Like of course people will get excited if a character like Ridley gets in. But i feel Ridley is inevitable at some point. I'm thinking more along the lines of third parties we'd never expect to see in Smash. Like Sonic, Snake, Ryu, and Cloud. Also side note. Does anyone else unironically want or think Goku could work? I think going forward Smash could really transition to a video game brawler to something that pulls characters from other mediums as well.
Holy shit Daisy Ridley. I just put two and two together. Why not have both? Rey for Smash!
Two of the most controversial characters for different reasons. Daisy because #TeamDaisy see her full potential and think she would fit right into Smash, while others think that she is nothing but an annoying filler (which is not true but I see why you might think that).
Ridley because everyone wants to see him but his design is unsuitable for the game.

Birdo (NB - I'm not sure what her canon non-deadname is. Birdette seems to have not much evidence supporting it?) has a 100% rate of support because I'm the only one that thinks she could be in Smash and I'm the only one that wants her in. 1/1 is 100%
Honestly I wouldn't be shocked if they just went full blowout at E3 and we basically see the entire starting roster including almost all the newcomers.
According to this list we only have a few Nintendo All Stars left to add.
Daisy.
Toad
Isabelle
Toom Nook
K.K
Resetti.
Callie
Marie.

According to my own list, there's still all sorts of classic Nintendo characters left to add.
Captain Rainbow
Cubivore
Doshin
Pious Augustus
Andrew Oikonny
The 3DS eShop Bag
John Raimi
Pockle
Waluigi
As this is the definitive list, please look forward to these characters being added to Smash!

Seriously though, some more stuff from Skip's games would be great, even if it's just music. I loved how they had Little Mac's theme from Captain Rainbow in Smash 4. It better return in the Switch game!

This is just so perfect of quote and reply, and that image is amazing.
