Reading this thread makes me glad that nobody on this forum is responsible for making this game, for serious.
For serious.
That being said, I find it necessary to contribute a myriad of equally pointless character wantings so that they can be the next debacle of this on-going circus.
Diddy Kong
Toad or Birdo
Poppy Bros Jr. or Waddle Dee or Sir Kibble
Randi/Randy AKA the main character in Secret of Mana (since our sword bros might be takin' a hike)
Kanden (From Hunters)
Darbus (The goron chief, or a goron in general) or Prince Ralis (The Zora, or a Zora in general)
Any hero from Dragon Quest (Who is unlocked on a weekend, thanks to a not-so-true urban myth regarding Dragon Quest games and their ability to be released during school time.)
Let's see here, I'll tell you who I think are likely out of these and why starting from the top
A good shot, he's in a lot of the recent sports titles and DK is the only real representative of his game
Toad and Birdo are also very likely, but maybe less so given the representation of mario characters. I'd give the slight edge to toad to complete the SMB USA quartet.
None too likely, especially given Metaknight's appearence.
Not even close, the only likely square characters I could see would be Geno or Booster.
Kanden, eh, not a terrible choice but I really doubt it
Almost no chance for a goron. I'm predicting Link, Zelda (known), Sheik, Wind Waker Link, Gannondorf.
Possibly
Also, I don't think anyone believes that Marth at the least isn't in this game. I fully expect Roy to be replaced by Ike, being the poster child of the last two Emblem games.
Other people I think have really good shots: Lucas/Claus from Mother 3, Sonic, Waluigi.

I still think the game needs more main characters from Nintendo games that haven't gotten representation in the game, especially since there is a lot that has happened since Melee. I mean, in Melee we got what new games:
Ice Climbers
Game and Watch
Fire Emblem
There is plenty of potential from Nintendo's own franchises that has been left untapped:
Pikmin
Animal Crossing
Advance Wars
Punch Out
I can't think of any more games Nintendo has made recently that weren't using their main franchises and have actual characters (sorry Excite Truck). I guess there is still Wave Race and 1080, although I don't think any of them would make good characters.
I'm kind of sick of Mario and Zelda characters making up a majority of the roster.
I think Marth and Roy will get dumped for other Fire Emblem characters that play pretty much identically to them.
Roy yes, but Marth pretty much is the lynchpin in the series, as he starred in multiple games. The flag in the castle level being traced back to his game is further evidence to this.

Olimar just sort of standing back while various Pikmin run around hurting people would make for great amusement. I'm just not sure how it would work.
I don't know anything about Fire Emblem, but Ike looks pretty much exactly the same as Marth. I can't imagine they'll both be in.
Costume or palette swap character.
This is entirely possible. Heck, I am an advocate of palette swaps, being on the recording saying that I would do hideous things to people for a blond version of snake and an eye patched version of snake. Don't really need Solidus, but that would be an exceptable bonus as well.
The only thing I am really ruling out is Roy as an entirely seperate character. He was there to promote the relaunch of the series on the GBA and really no other reason. Far more popular lords have come around since then. Hector, Lyn, hell, even Eliwood are more popular than that stick in the mud.
Wow names for players.... interesting. But why are they using the cell phone typing. I hate that in PBR.You can enter individual names for each player.
Start by just entering a name.
This time, enter it like you would on your cell phone!
You can also use random names.
Once it’s entered, choose your name for your character on the character-selection screen before you begin fighting.
The character-selection screen is still a secret!
This time, names are extremely important. That’s because we’ve included personalized button configurations.
We’ve made this game compatible with four different controllers:
You can change button configurations for each one for each registered name, and alter those configurations any way you like.
Assigning personal button configurations each time you fight would be a bit of a pain...but if you just choose your name from the list, BAM! You get to play with your preferred configuration! There’s no waiting!
We’re also considering allowing you to save your name to the memory in your Wii Remote so you can bring your settings with you to your friend’s house...
But if we can’t make that happen, I apologize.
Edited to include actual update.

Ooh. First peek at the UI - seems like they're going for a white color scheme now, maybe it's customizable. Probably longer names, and not all caps anymore. Oh, and FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE BUTTON LAYOUTS. I want this game so much. Is that a blurred out character select in the second screen?
I'm actually surprised they don't just use Mii profiles or something... Make things simpler (and have a nice way to toss your Mii into the mix, as well).
Guys I'm pretty sure the background isn't anything at all, he just stuck all the relevant stuff on top of nothing so he didn't reveal anything.
Quiet you.
Come one, come all! Step right up and wildly speculate! Is it Sonic? That kinda looks like an 'S'. Nobody knows exactly what might be hidden in the PIXELS OF MYSTERY!

That one on the end totally looks like an X.. MEGAMAN X CONFIRMED!!
and at the front? that is clearly a pair of titties. TOPLESS MODE CONFIRMED!!!
also I think thats a wang in the middle.. followed by a box. it can only mean one thing.. after all what do titties, a wang, a box, and an x have in common? CLEARLY IT IS OPTIMUS PRIME BECAUSE EVERYONE SHOWS THEIR TITTIES TO OPIMUS AND HE MAKES EVERYONE SPLOOGE THEIR PANTS AND HIS TRAILER ALSO LOOKS LIKE A BOX AND WHEN HE DIED HE WAS ALL LIKE X_X
What about those of us with names longer than 4 letters aaargh
You become Cris, Stev, and Frnk.
Mitc really doesn't roll off the tongue the same way Stev or Frnk does
Stev is kinda cool.

I'd like to point out, that if that pixelated part is text, it is probably in Japanese. All of the text is different in the Japanese versions of the images, but that part is identical between the Japanese and English versions.
I think it's pretty obviously character icons from the select screen. Why else would it be blurred out, with subtext about how the character selection screen is still secret?

Marth and Ike, final answer.
Heck, since they're dumping clones, it might be JUST Ike.
Maybe that Black Knight fellow.

Even if you can, it's probably not the whole thing. It looks like the name select box scrolled up to cover it.

Dude, it's totally Megaman X.
Is there no limit to the stupid shit these guys will cry about?
no, because I could honestly see tournaments having stupid rules like that.
Ssssh! Zip it. You don't want those people in here again, mucking up the thread again.
