Shy Guy or Captain Toad/Toadette!

Chances are it will be Dante.

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

Mythra please

 

[TintoConCasera]

It's the MH hunter and you know it.

If its a Fire Emblem character we riot.

Don't even joke... though Byleth turned out to be an interesting fighter.

"Followed by a brief message from Director Masahiro Sakurai." Could he be retiring?

It sounds like the standard CG reveal + quick in game sizzle reel trailer and then a more in-depth review w/ Sakurai-why he selected, move overview, etc.

I dont think they would announce his retirement yet. Probably just a message about the new character.

 

[diffusionx]

Looks like Grinch is back on the menu boys

 

[Kayoba]

I have a feeling they will add Urshifu in order to boost their sales in Pokémon.

Though I personally hope they don't add him, I would prefer to see characters from other franchises.

 

[DonF]

Finally! No leaks? Nintendo ninjas are the best.

 

[Mr Branding]

Hayabusa

 

[Mister Wolf]

Elma is who we all want. Even the people that don't even know it yet.

 

[Thabass]

It's gonna be Crash. Just you watch.

Spoiler

I bet the 4chan leaks are real

 

[Party McHardy]

Cmon Travis!

 

[MiguelItUp]

For the love of god anyone but a Fire Emblem character. PLEASE!

[Synless]

What is the most Likely rumor choice so far?

 

[Cert.in.Death]

DOOMGUY.

The time is right. Bring the legend (-ary memes) to life!

Though I dread the thought, I think you're right. I want Dante and Crash more than any other characters, but I know this is more realistic.

 

[Bridges]

It is time. Give us the Chibi-Robo or we riot.

No Cheebo
No Peace

 

[Ulysses 31]

 

[Jigsaah]

Thomas from Kung Fu NES confirmed

 

[Danjin44]

I want to see Rex with Pyra/Mythra in Smash.

 

[LarknThe4th]

Master Chief surely!

The time is now!

All kidding aside a halo ring stage and the theme song being re recorded for smash would be pretty cool

 

[SALMORE]

Claire from Lost !!

 

[Connificent]

GamePass from Xbox

 

[zeorhymer]

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

Gimme dat Linkle.

 

[Danjin44]

Akira from Astral Chain would be also cool to see..

 

[Aggressive Carrot]

Tingle's time to shine. No more assist trophies for him.

Spoiler

 

[mistuhcahlos]

I know it's way too early but we need Zagreus

 

[Dane]

Jones from Jones Barbecue and Foot Massage

 

[Birdo]

Jump King.

 

[mikefrails]

Kanye West (pre-Yeezus)

 

[V4skunk]

A supposed leaker on 4chan is saying Crash Bandicoot is the new character.
It isnt too far fetched and probably a good guess any pleb could make though.

 

[Athena~]

Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden would make a great fit to the roster!

If not then Zhao Yun from Dynasty Warriors please

 

[ValiantTraveler]

Demi-fiend summons demons on the battlefield!

 

[iconmaster]

Jones from Jones Barbecue and Foot Massage

This is ridiculous.

Barbecue doesn't have anything to do with deep frying.

 

[ZeroZeroQuatre]

Well, judging by that pee-colored background on the announcement tweet, the new character will obviously be the Manneken Pis.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manneken_Pis

And as he already appeared in previous Nintendo games (he's a regular character in Animal Crossing)...

... I think we can safely bet on him being revealed tomorrow

 

[kunonabi]

Lara Croft - single biggest star not yet in the game
Scorpion - Midway, classic American arcade representation
Doomguy - PC/FPS boom represenation

Tecmo-Koei - Ryu Hayabusa, Angelique, or Kasumi(ugh)
Technos Japan = Billy & Jimmy, Kunio-kun
Hudsonsoft - Bomberman
Taito - Bub & Bob, Kunoichi
Level-5 - Professor Layton, some Yo-Kai Watch garbage

Travis Touchdown

I think those are all the big 3rd party reps that still need to make it in. Bomberman is sadly probably out of the running since a third Konami-owned character would be probably go to Goemon. Goemon is awesome but I would prefer Hudson to get an actual rep instead of just an assist trophy.
