I added Meta Knight to my roster:
There's still time to reveal everyone before release if Sakurai picks up the pace. 1-2 characters on the site per week until September and 4-5 characters in a Smash Bros. Direct would do the trick.
I'd believe this.

What about Alfonzo?!
Also, nice to see MK back. And I love the reference to SSE
I'd say the following are pretty much guaranteed to be in the starting roster, due to either being on the box art or in the E3 demos:
Mario
Luigi (unlockable in Brawl)
Peach
Bowser
Link
Toon Link (unlockable in Brawl)
Zelda
Sheik
Samus
Zero Suit Samus
Kirby
Fox
Pit
Pikachu
Donkey Kong
Olimar
Marth (unlockable in Brawl)
Yoshi
Villager
Wii Fit Trainer
Rosalina
Little Mac
Greninja
Luigi, Toon Link, and Marth were all unlockables in Brawl. Marth is definitely becoming a starter due to being on the box art and playable in both demos. Luigi and Toon Link are a bit tricky, because Luigi has been unlockable ever since 64 and Toon Link is a clone, and they're only playable in the 3DS demo, but I don't see why they would be revealed before launch and playable in the E3 demo if they were unlockable characters.
The following characters were starter characters in Brawl and thus likely to be starter characters again:
Dedede
Diddy Kong
Charizard
Ike
Meta Knight
That leaves the following characters as toss ups:
Lucario
Captain Falcon
Mii Fighters
Palutena
Robin
Lucina
Sonic
Mega Man
Pac-Man
Brawl didn't reveal any unlockable characters before launch aside from the 3rd party characters, so I can see Lucario and Captain Falcon becoming starter characters. Why else show them before launch? Besides, Falcon was a starter in Melee. As for the 3rd party characters, Mega Man and Pac-Man are pretty much guaranteed to be unlockables because they're newcomer guest characters, but Sonic could become a starter character because of his veteran status. All that leaves is the most recent newcomers, Palutena, Robin, Lucina, and the Mii Fighters. Unfortunately, I'm starting to feel like there won't be any newcomers revealed post launch, especially since Sakurai seemingly wants to introduce every newcomer through a trailer. Lucina makes this theory seem plausible, because I can't see a situation where she's a starter character due to her clone status. But then again, Toon Link is seemingly starter now, so who knows.

Well, it fits just fine on the character select screen:
And I would say that Ryce's roster is definitely the safest roster out there are possibly the most likely, which is why it's the same as my minimum expectations, but I would like to believe that there are just a bit more characters. But perhaps those other characters will be DLC. My roster is a "complete" roster, so if there really is DLC then my roster isn't trying to predict what the roster will look like before DLC, but rather after.

Roster look good. I think it's more safe to set your expectation to believe that roster is going to happens.
I still strongly believe that we will get unlockable character, so if we didn't get ganondorf tomorrow then it's more likely they wouldn't reveal unlockable characters.
Nintendo Access: You want demos? Fine, well start putting them out, but you gotta pay $30 a year to try them out
Cutting Lucas breaks my heart. Can't we have a roster of 49 instead?I added Meta Knight to my roster:

Looks pretty good. Personally I would swap out Wolf for Snake and I would be absolutely satisfied.
Still can't believe that the game is coming out in a month in Japan and that we will *finally* see the entire roster.
Mine as well. Lucas would be on my dream roster, but the image I posted is the roster I'm expecting. I've played so much Brawl that I've grown to love every single character, and I hate cuts, but the realist in me is bracing for the worst.
I will take a wild guess of 52 characters.
They forgot the part where Nintendo is going to skip that pesky "QA process".

Hey, Nintendo's doing retailer-exclusive DLC now. It's only a matter of time.

Since everyone is posting their prediction rosters, I'll post mine again:
I honestly have no idea who to expect for the remaining newcomers so I didn't even try.

I'll probably repost my roster again when I update some of the images on it.
And release betas as full games

I'm willing to take an avatar bet right now, just because every time I hear talk of Lucas being cut I want to say something:
If Lucas is cut, I will give anyone who thinks he will control of my avatar for two weeks. If Lucas isn't cut, everyone wears a Lucas avatar for number of people in the bet against me x 2 weeks. Or something.
Basically I'm saying Lucas won't be cut. And I'm willing to pretty much stake anything that's not actual money on it.

Yeah, I'm planning to reuse some of animated gifs that I used in E3 countdown, but I will use a lot of new trailers for animated gif.
Let start with countdown, baby!
30 MORE DAYS! So I choose you, Fox! Since people know the Melee meme.

This is still the best roster out there. Love it to death. I do wish Lucas could be here, but I'm also kinda thinking he'll be cut...
It'll be so crazy hype around here if we get Ganondorf tonight too...

while Krystal is representative of the series (Star Fox) downfall, at least she has something resembling a character
Okay, for $60 a year, you can use them 10 times, happy now?

To think that the fateful day draws near.
I await the final roster with both great anticipation and trepidation.
And take 8 months to get the game stable.

Wait, did I miss confirmation on the Miis not having a slot? Or just a artistic license to make the roster fit the screen?
Updated my roster predictions/expectations with Meta Knight's confirmation:
So many confirmed characters! =D
At least your character gets to be on the battlefield occasionally
Yes, I am still salty
...Wonder Red fan?
Yeah, it's just artistic license. 8x6 on 3DS and 12x4 on Wii U seem to be the most likely layouts, and I don't want to cut another character just so the Miis can have a box on the select screen.
That's not how you spell Tricky.
Red Arremer

The most pessimistic one maybe.
That's not how you spell nothing. Also, Fi looks really cool in Hyrule Warriors.
While Tricky is an ass character, he at least is useful in the game he appears in. Krystal isn't.

Oh boy.
Not quite, but he was also a character I didn't realize I wanted as a playable character until he got deconfirmed

Was that leak with the cool bowser jr clown car idea proven fake or is there still a chance?
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
No one know.
Hasn't been proven fake, though there's rumors that the mods on Smashboards created a fake rumor to weed out some possibly legit ones they were hearing.
I do believe that there might be a real leak somewhere in the wild, but we'll have zero reason to believe it until closer to launch.
