If I'm wrong I'll be thrilled, but I can't see F-Zero or Mother getting new characters atm. KI seems pretty unlikely as well.

Even though I like Hades more as a character, I'd honestly go with Medusa because she's still a legacy character as Pit and Palutena are, being the villain of the original Kid Icarus.

I personally prefer Medusa a lot over any of the other KI characters, mostly because she's the last part of the original trifecta, and I also just really dig her Uprising redesign, while I'm indifferent towards the Uprising characters.

Never underestimate Sakurai's ability to add his waifus to Smash Bros

Mmm, what a hot waifu:

In a shocking twist. Microsoft allows a character in Smash.

And it's Jago. (My Main in KI SNES so I'll take him)

Samurai Goroh is such a loser that he was immediately replaced as rival/antagonist in the second game of an already story-lite series.

It's Spring Man.

I don't understand how that's even a question outside of Twintelle's fandom getting ahead of themselves.

I mean, Twintelle has a great design to be sure, but Spring Man is the mascot. I say this more to avoid people getting upset down the road if we do get an ARMS character, because it'll be Spring Man.
To be fair, there is that one recent Facebook cover photo with Twintelle representing ARMS instead of Spring Man, but it's too soon to know if that's a sign of what's to come for the franchise or not. So yeah, it'll probably be Spring Man.

I just realize how crazy it would be to have Simon's Up + B works as Swing so the item has to appear out of the air so the whip would connect to it and swing.

I just love how much of a loser Samurai Goroh is. He's not even really a samurai, is he? He just calls himself that because he thinks it's cool, even though it just makes him look like a huge weeb.

Still think Ryu is a more obvious choice for a 3rd party character given Tecmo Koei and Nintendo's recent history and being one of the formers most famous characters:

I'm not sure if it's the case in the anime, but in the main games, it does seem like he is an actual samurai. He's competent with his sword and in GX/AX he has a son who also is very good at it. He also seems to follow some sort of honor codex. So I don't think he just really likes samurai stuff lol. That said, it's never truly expanded upon.

Really? The cutscenes he was in in F-Zero GX just made him seem like a punk to me.

Porky, Medusa and Samurai Goroh?

I don't know who would vote for them in the Smash Ballot. Then again, there was a silent majority for Bayo I feel.

The cutscenes in F-Zero GX in general are incredibly campy. GX also hams up Goroh's rivalry with Falcon quite a lot in the cutscenes. Here's the bio from his GX profile, though:
In outward appearance, Goroh is a bounty hunter just like Falcon, but in actuality, he is the boss of an intergalactic group of bandits with a terrible reputation. This group of cutthroats is said to use the Red Canyon for a hideout. Exactly what Goroh has plundered and extorted over the years is unknown. As a bounty hunter, he travels from planet to planet evaluating the value of possible spoils. He actually dreams of performing notorious deeds as a bounty hunter, but Falcon always seems to beat him to the punch in the newest and most profitable projects—Goroh is very bitter about this. He enters every Grand Prix without fail and is known as a rival of Falcon who will never stop trying to defeat him.

My understanding was always that Samurai Goroh was just some Japanese guy, and he just plays up the imagery. Like how he's got the rising sun on his head.

Or maybe Samurai is just a common name in Japan, like with the Smash Bros director guy.

GX literally had theme songs for every character that didn't even play outside of those cutscenes.

SEGA went all out and they should be applauded.

The end of the Smash invitational, everyone is expecting Ridley...

The lights go out, purple smoke fills the stage, here comes Ridley! It has to be.

Suddenly, cackling, snorting laughing, this starts playing on the loudspeaker

Era crashes
