The only cuts I could see happening are Sonic, Snake and to a much lesser extent, Ike. As for Lucario, given that I firmly believe that we're getting seven Pokémon and that there's no newcomers to threaten Lucario's spot (not as a replacement mind you, but perhaps making Lucario a victim of time), I really can't see him going although I understand why there's doubt.
I just realized that this is a chance for Digimon to be in Smash
That'd be cool to see, but we're unfortunately stuck with Pac-Man if we get a Namco rep.
That said, a Digimon would make a great Snake-like reveal.
interesting toast discussion. anyway the next game should have a more un-realistic roster like this:
Eww at anime characters, especially at Naruto. If Sakurai even dares put Naruto in Smash, I will not buy it.
