Speculations yay

Smash Veterans:
Ice Climbers - Do what Sm4sh can't A lot of people have been speculating these guys lately. After yesterday's shocking and unexpected reveals of Pac-Man and Pit, I am wondering if the Ice Climbers will be the next veterans to be revealed.
Snake - C'mon his stage is in the game AND had a trailer before the retool They might be saving Snake as an unlockable for v1.0.
Ike and/or Smash 3DS/Wii U Roy, maybe Robin - Game needs more FE characters Ike and Roy would be the most plausible because Roy was in Melee and Ike was in Brawl. Robin is 50/50.
Olimar and Pikmin - Distant Planet in game, why not Olimar? Strongly agree!
King Dedede - Another Kirby representative Heavily agreed!
Falco - Game also needs more Star Fox representatives Falco would probably be an unlockable.
Mewtwo and/or Lucario - Game also needs more Pokemon reps I hope both these guys get the cut because I want to have them battle it out in SSF2!
Pokemon Trainer - Same as ^^^, but please REMOVE THE STUPID STAMINA MECHANIC I do not know if they would be able to add these guys because the mechanics in Flash may not be able to handle them. The Ice Climbers are different because they can be controlled as one. With Pokemon Trainer, if you switch out a Pokemon, the hardware may not be able to handle that. However, I am not a coder so I do not know if I am right or wrong.
Little Mac - Game needs more Side-Bs off the Stage, Lloyd just doesn't cut it for me Little Mac needs to come in the game! He was a heavily requested character in SSB4 and he got in! Hopefully the Devs picked up on that!
Pi- Oh wait, he's already in game... Lol.

Newcomers:
Lyn - Fire Emblem - IMO, a better Female FE rep than Lucina and "celebrates" the first FE game released in the west This would be nice because she has a lot of moveset potential too!
Knuckles - Sonic - I'd rather have Shadow as an AT, Knuckles is a better 3rd Sonic Rep Debateable. Knuckles and Shadow could both make the cut.
Luffy - One Piece - Complete the Shonen 4 pls A lot of people want him and a lot of people do not want him. I am on the side that wants him and it looks like we have another recruit! #Luffy4SSF2!
Bill Rizer - Contra - We need a rep for the classic shooter game Contra While I will say no, Contra was and will always be a classic.
Ryu Hayabusa - Ninja Gaiden - Screw Greninja, Ryu is a better Ninja, and no not that other Ryu Tons of moveset potential and nothing is stopping him from getting in.
Simon Belmont - Castlevania - Dracula's Castle is in game, besides Castlevania is a great franchise and needs a Rep Simon Belmont is commonly requested around the SSF2 Forums and lots of fans have made the theory that with Dracula's Castle being a stage in the game, they have been wondering if Simon Belmont will be a newcomer. Hopefully he gets in. Castlevania is one of my favorite franchises of all time and it deserves to have a playable representative in the game.
Adeleine - Kirby - I only want her in game because of BitF, would like to see the BitF crew together once more I heavily agree!
Shrek - Shrek - Okay... Maybe not... But he did have some Fighting games on Nintendo consoles Oh geez! This never goes away does it? The Shrek Memes are amongst the most popular ones in SSB4. In all seriousness, Shrek could have some serious fighting potential as he had many fighting games on Nintendo systems. Good luck to him!

Slightly off topic, but is Flash capable of running Ice Climbers? I mean we know it couldn't do Pokemon Trainer so I was wondering.

Source?

Pac-Man
