The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent
vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums
here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules
document is now in effect.
The current plan is to attempt to start the Holiday Forums on December 23rd sometime during the day. During this time, the Future State Planning Center will remain open. The Holiday Forum merge will last (if Vanilla cooperates) until January 3rd.

A lot of people are certain Bayonetta is in, but I'm not too sure. Her animations might be a bit too much, even with a T rating.

Since you lose points for incorrect guesses, I played it a bit safe with the character roster.
If I had to make third party guesses they would be:
Mega Man
Pac-Man
Klonoa (that's more of a wish than a prediction. He'd fit in so well)[/spoiler]

They haven't exactly been celebrating his 24th, 23rd, or...Mega Man? Who's that?

Anyone else they put is fine, but only after she's locked in.

I don't think too many fans would object to this.

New Marth is Best Marth. Also incredibly popular in both the USA and Japan. Like, more popular than Chrom by a notable margin.
Think she's got a shot.
Why I fear the ocean.
My bets:
Ridley
Geno
Mii
Tom Nook
Mega Man
Nook is like Littlefinger. He doesn't get his hands dirty.
And if Lucina's a shoe-in, I really hope she's in the announcement trailer. I'd hate to suffer through months and months of Sakurai-Time (or whatever they called those Brawl updates where people suffered for Captain Falcon).

Tom Nook will actually be the end boss.

I have to wonder how they'd do Guar Plains... it being, well... flat, mostly. The Skystage area would probably work best (The arching paths over/under and such), or the region around the spiral pillar (make it more vertical than horizontal, with a deep pit and such). With the stage gimmick being monsters wandering in, and of course day/night/weather.
If they put Shulk in, they really need to have Mondao Shield be his shield effect and Speed show up when dodging (on the blade, since it doesn't have any real visuals)

Isaac from Golden Sun is priority one for me, and he's got a shot. Psychic powers and earth-based magic would make him fun to play. I'd like to see a long-running series like Advance Wars get a spot as well. Since the next game will have a 3DS version along side the usual console version, hopefully that means Nintendo will pay some extra attention to handheld franchises like these. Shulk from Xenoblade be a great way to represent Monolith Soft's relatively recent first-party status.
For returning franchises, Bowser Jr, who has had quite a few major roles since Brawl was released, is a good bet. For as much as the kremlings feature in the Donkey Kong series, that aspect of the games feels underrepresented in SSB. K Rool, Donkey Kong's wacky recurring villain, would round out the DK series nicely. More-recent Zoroark replaces Lucario, Pokemon Trainer gets a new set of pokemon, and Mewtwo makes a return. Star Fox could use a bit more variety (and fewer landmasters), so Wolf is out and Krystal is in. Sakurai gave the Kirby franchise a lot of love in Brawl, so I expect the Kid Icarus franchise will get some more attention too. Palutena's a strong possibility. For Fire Emblem, we get "Marth" out of tradition, and Chrom as the new guy, like Ike and Roy before him.
My more idealized, not-going-to-happen roster:
Waluigi might be an actual possibility, though.

Gonna be cool
But that's not likely going to happen as Ganondorf is too popular even as a Falcon clone.

I could see Ganon as a transformation, similar to Sheik.

"GIIIIT READY"
Jeff, Ray MK III, Samurai Goroh, and Waluigi are the other ones that I would think are likely to get a promotion. I'd love to see Little Mac but there's not quite enough to him. Expanding his moveset might not fit with the character the same way it would with the other ones.

I would.
Donnel assist in two stages
When you summon him he's pretty weak, but still strong enough to kill. If he gets a kill, though, he turns into a Hero and goes apeshit for a few seconds, just wrecking faces like nobody's business.
They could just have Mac incorporate the moves of the other boxers. Bald Bull's charge, Super Macho Man's whirlwind punch, etc.
