I have a feeling there won't be too many more newcomers in Super Smash Bros. 4, so I'm going to post the last 5 characters I think will also join the battle, making there be 18 newcomers total:
Shulk - I think Shulk pretty much has to be in the game now, and he would be an interesting character. The Monado obviously isn't just your average sword, so he'd be a different kind of swordfighter.
Karate Joe - A Rhythm Heaven enemy appears in Smash Run, so it would make sense for a Rhythm Heaven character to appear as well. But I don't think it will be the Chorus Men, Karate Joe makes a lot more sense for Smash Bros. I think he could be a cool character, and a good rep for Rhythm Heaven too.
Ridley - Everyone wants Ridley, and I think if Fire Emblem has 4 characters, Metroid deserves more than just 1 and a half. Ridley would be a great addition, just make him a bit smaller, and he would be perfect.
Isaac - If a new Golden Sun game randomly gets announced, this would be a good way to advertise it. But Isaac would also just be a great character for Smash Bros. A lot of people want him too.
Impa - I know it's an odd character choice, but I think Impa would be cool. They could take inspiration from her Hyrule Warriors moveset, just translate it over to Smash Bros. This is the least likely to happen of all of my predictions, but I would like to see her as a playable character. (and there is going to be a new Zelda character, Fire Emblem has 4, Zelda should have 4 too...)
There are a couple of characters I think could be in, but that I don't want nearly as much as those 5:
- Dixie Kong
- Sceptile
- Samurai Goroh
- Chibi-Robo
- Bayonetta (okay this one is pretty much impossible now with there being 3 third party characters)
