Characters that won't return to SSB4

I swear I have absolutely no idea how to use Olimar effectively.

He's one of my mains.

Most of the time I'm just abusing C-Stick, grabs, and like two of his specials. Plus, his final smash is just amazing.

well he's not exactly easy to use and requires some practice more so than other characters, paying attention and taking some risks plays out for olimar, as you must know how to operate each pikmin, the range of his attacks, and a couple of other stuff.
 
I also kinda feel like that any character with their own original moveset has no right to really be removed. The cuts from Melee were all clones except for Mewtwo (Which I explained already that Lucario is arguably an improved replacement with a similar moveset). I don't think Sakurai intends on cutting a veteran leaving them exclusive to Brawl and/or Melee.

And honestly, there'd be a huge, huge backlash if Sonic misses out. Not only because of how popular he is. But the only possible logic behind cutting Sonic is "He and/or Snake are exclusives to Brawl to make it stand out more". Which would be complete bullshit. Also it makes no sense, business wise. Nintendo and Sega made a deal recently that Sonic would have his next 3 games exclusive to Nintendo Consoles. One is Sonic Lost World, Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games 2014, and the 3rd one's a mystery (Some speculate that the 3rd one IS SSB4 though, not sure if that counts though)

Also I don't see them missing out the chance to have Megaman, AND Sonic, AND Mario in the same game. That's opportunity to have at least 3 of the biggest Video game icons of all time. The cash would be flowing in.
 
SM, how would you react if Sonic got cut.

Quite frankly, I'd be pissed.

I'd still get SSB4. But regardless, I don't see any good reason to cut Sonic. Sonic wasn't even intended to be in Brawl at first, but thanks to a high demand. Sakurai was pushed into getting him into Brawl. Some things in the game still pointed out to Sonic being a last minute addition such as his sudden out of nowhere appearence in the Subspace Emissiary and the fact he only got one remix (Angel Island).

But now they can put him in knowing he's going to be part of the game and give him even better representation then he got in Brawl.
 
yeah kinda hope sonic stays as well, his moveset is good but the stats of his moves are just lacking, update that and he gets better. Plus i like sonic in general.

if there is gonna be a story mode i really hope makes a pretty big impact(which strangely reminds me of pikmin for some reason).
 
I think Lucario, ROB, Snake and Toon Link would get cut. Lucario I think he might get replaced with Zoaroak (correct my spelling on this if it's wrong :p), ROB and Snake seemed really out of place and Toon Link was seen in one of the Spirit Track stages so I doubt he'll be in. =P

Wolf, I don't think he would get cut either, since I don't see him being a clone of Falco or Fox.
Same applies to Lucas; if someone pulls the "he's a clone of Ness" card I'm ranting about this. :P
 
I also kinda feel like if a popular character from Melee and Brawl doesn't make it in to SSB4. Then there will be more backlash to additions like the Wii Fit Trainer. Complaints being like "My favorite character from Melee and/or Brawl didn't get in, but *insert Wii Fit Trainer or something similar* did?!"

Yeah I know. You're reminding me of all the Roy fans who want HIM of all characters back. I loved using Roy too, but come on, do you realize how minor he is?
 
I don't see why people assume Zero Suit Samus is leaving. That's like saying Sheik is leaving. Samus used a final smash in the trailer and I don't think they'd change it where she doesn't lose her armor.

I see Toon Link (even thought he was better than Link), Wolf, and Lucario getting the shaft. R.O.B. is another possibility as well.

That's pretty much why I think ZSS will return.

Also, while Lucario and Toon Link are still the only two that I'm pretty sure will be removed, Wolf, Pokemon Trainer, Lucas, Ike, and R.O.B. are characters that I think might also be in danger of getting the boot. Everyone else I find likely to come back.
