I’m one of the idiots who wanted Ridley to be playable, but to be honest, the most exciting thing about his reveal was “RIDLEY HITS THE BIG TIME”. Also, him just murdering Mega Man and Mario in cold blood.

And I gotta say, between Ridley literally murdering Mario and Mega Man and Luigi getting his soul removed by a realistic-looking Grim Reaper, these previews are so weird but so drat awesome.

Now that I think about it, isn't Dragon Quest supposed to be massively, explosively popular in Japan? As in, "neck-and-neck with Final Fantasy" popular? Who do you think would be the most likely playable character from that series?

Not sure who the most iconic Fire Emblem villain would be. Maybe a Kid Icarus villain like Medusa or Hades would work.
I think the most iconic Fire Emblem villain is Medeus, but he seems more like a boss character.

By this logic, a lot of adds were bad because at least one toxic rear end in a top hat wanted them.

How many newcomers do you think we'll get in total? All I'm confident about is that we won't be getting beyond a single-digit number of unique newcomers, and the number of Echo Fighters will be a bit more or less than that.

I'm betting on about 8 newcomers and something like 24-30 echo fighters.
That is a ridiculous amount of Echoes. There’s obviously room for more Echoes than uniques, but I’m not sure they’ll go so hard on them.

Out of everyone you listed, I think Tiki and the Black Knight are the most likely to get in. Tiki is one of the few characters to make three playable appearances and is rather popular in her own right, while the Black Knight is one of the most popular villains in the series, though I believe they’d sooner add Hardin before him.

Some characters represent their games as a whole more than themselves.
One of my pipe dreams is a playable Geno referencing all the Mario RPGs in addition to his own game, but I don't know how that would work.

How do FE7 characters fare over in Japan? To the West, it was the very first game we got, but to them, it was probably just another in the series.

Kiryu is never going to get into a fighting game. Jury’s out on whether he’ll make it into Smash, though.

Lu Bu would be phenomenal, but let's be real, they'd put in Zhao Yun before anybody else.

Seriously speaking, Ryu Hayabusa would be a neat addition to the roster, though I haven't seen much demand for him.

Pretty sure we won’t be seeing Dr. Eggman as a playable character, but it’d be pretty sweet. Obviously, he’d fight in a mech, but what weapons would they give him?

It'd be a crying shame if any other character that didn't originate in video games got in before James Bond, as played by Pierce Brosnan.

As for the unexpected retro character, I'm guessing it'll be the Excitebike rider.
