In just over an hour, once the Direct is done, this thread will be dead, and a beautiful new thread will rise from the ashes... with a name, and actual screens/footage of the game.
At long last.

One last prediction, the first character we'll see is Pit.

Well good Sir, you were wrong, the first character we saw was, as usual, Mario, followed by Link.
NO RIDLEY AAAAA I AM ANGRY. And random generic ass villager instead of Tom Nook.
Mega Man barely calms my soul.
Everyone is probably on it now, but http://www.smashbros.com/en-uk is up and has loads of screens.

Here's the Mega Man reveal.
At the end, during the copyright notice, it says Creatures Inc., which are the dev team who made Mother and Mother 2/Earthbound. So... Ness confirmed I guess.

If by "Pokemon" you mean Pokemon Ranger and PokePark, then yes, Creatures Inc. made those games. And frankly, I have my doubts we'll see anything related to Pokemon Ranger or PokePark.
If by "Pokemon" you mean the actual Pokemon games, then no, those are made by GameFreak.
They seem to have nailed the impact of the hits. So satisfying.
Villager and Mega Man woooooo
I'll definitely try to main Villager.
Oh c'mon. :lol

Well, I had Mega Man on my list...
I think Pit's shown using an item from Uprising during the trailer, looks like one of the claws.

Well see you later.
Pretty sure they are still credited in the mainline games, even if they were not the developer.

Did anyone anywhere predict her?

I guessed Animal Crossing Dude & Megaman on IntelliHeath thread, so far so good.
And I'm pretty hyped by the fact that Nintendo is still surprising everyone with characters like Wii Fit Trainer, that's the kind of surprise I wanted even if I don't care about her.

Still better than Palutena and Ridley

I've seen her tossed around left and right when people were actively looking for the next "WTF" character.
I don't think anyone would call her as first day reveal material though, or posed her as very likely.
Yeah, I already didn't guess two of the new additions. I don't care though, since MEGA MAN IS IN SMASH BROS.! WOOOOOOOO!
Villager and Wii Fit Trainer are random, but might be fun. It definitely sets the mood that this pair of Smash Bros. games are going to be more lighthearted and crazy than previous entries.

Wii Fit Trainer just proves that nobody can predict Sakurai's mind. He's a genius.
This is why Super Smash Bros > Playstation Battle Royale. You get these WTF characters that still are a part of Nintendo's history.

I love the inclusions so far. None of them were in my prediction list, and I'm okay with that. I wanted to be surprised, and surprised is what I am.
So, from what I've gathered--
Characters
Mario
-Seems to be more or less the same. Even still has FLUDD.
Donkey Kong
-New animation for grounded Up-B, but other than that seems the same.
Link
-Not Skyward Sword design like most predicted. Mostly based on TP with a couple of SS nods here or there. Didn't see any new moves or animations though.
Samus
-Other M design but modified to actually look halfway decent. Forward Smash seems to give off an explosion now. Zero Laser still in, no word on ZSS (but the way the trailer cuts off just as the Laser ends is kind of telling).
Kirby
-New Thwomp model for Stone.
Fox
-Seems to be more or less the same, design hasn't really changed at all even.
Pikachu
-Design is finally updated to be more in line with the modern art--thinner chest, poofier looking arms. Moves seem the same.
Bowser
-Big time revamp. Much faster, stands and runs differently, new attacks replacing old ones it seems.
-New drop kick looks like a new F-Smash, looks like a new Neutral Aerial as well. Fire Breathing reanimated.
Pit
-At least two new moves according to Sakurai--Upperdash Arm and Guardian Orbitars. If I were to guess they are Side and Down B respectively.
-Looks like a new Up-B in the trailer, where he flies up diagonally with sound effects from Uprising.
-Otherwise it seems he's mostly intact, seems to use Palutena Bow for the most part for his normals.
Villager
Mega Man
Wii Fit Trainer
-Hard to say much about them at the time as they're new, but the site and videos are good enough for now. All of them good choices.
----
Stages
-According to Sakurai these differ in the two versions unlike the character roster. I'll try to list them all as I saw them.
Wii U Version
Battlefield
-Generic, looks like it has a time changing effect like Brawl's.
Boxing Arena
-I think this is generic, not from a specific series. I could be wrong though.
Skyloft
-Looks a lot like Delfino Plaza--ride around on a floating platform that touches down at different spots on the map.
Wily's Fort
-Can't get a good look at the stage layout in any picture or video yet.
Smashville
-Different platform setup than Brawl but same general idea. Might move around the village as there are different sections of it in the background in different pictures.
Wii Fit
-Not much to go off yet but it is based on the area where the Wii Fit Trainer is in Wii Fit. Looks mostly flat.
3DS Version
Battlefield
-Looks similar to Wii U version, but the background is different.
Nintendogs
-You can apparently get under those blocks, so I don't know what to say here. Does this mean a Nintendog isn't an Assist Trophy anymore (if they're in it at all?)?
Ferox Arena
-At least, that's what I think it is. Looks like it from Fire Emblem Awakening. Hard to tell much about the layout, but based on what I can see it might change throughout the match.
Spirit Tracks Stage
-One picture shows that some birds sometimes carry floating platforms nearby. Toon Link makes an appearance, wonder what that says about him returning or not.
New Super Mario Bros./Mario 3D Land Stage
-There may be two stages here, it's hard to tell, but the video showed the spinning platforms with the crusher pillar things that really reminds me of 3D Land, and another picture shows a stage with Peach's Castle in the background that's really reminiscent of NSMB, but the games have similar aesthetics so it may be the same stage.
Gerudo Valley
-I think that's what the one with the tent and bridge is. Certainly looks like it from OOT3D.
?Donkey Kong Country Returns Stage?
-Hard to say about this one, this might not be a stage at all. It only appears very briefly in the trailer but it definitely resembles DKCR. But the way the camera moves and the way Mario moves about in it makes me think it might be part of an Adventure mode of some sort.
Rather funny that here we are, the game is revealed, and we'll all still likely be calling it the "Next Super Smash Bros." for lack of a quick and easy way to say the games' titles.
