Characters confirmed to return in SSB4

That was a horrible last sentence. I fixed it. It's going out in America the day before the season premier of MLP, so November 22.
 
I think discussing Yoshi's return is just ridiculous AND pointless. It's not even worth it. His return is undoubtable.

Now, I don't understand why people still say a character can't be cut just because they are part of the original 12. Sakurai has NEVER said that "the original 12 won't be cut, ever". Remember Ness almost got cut in favor of Lucas for Melee, and he wasn't just because Mother 3 was delayed. Had Mother 3 not been delayed, Ness would have been a Smash 64 exclusive. I think that this time, Jigglypuff should be cut for good.
 
Having three appearances doesn't guarantee that Jigglypuff is returning, but it certainly helps her. Additionally I'm pretty sure she's still the most popular of the three remaining Brawl Pokemon reps, I've heard she's one of the easier characters to program, and she now has the fairy type to help her out. Plus I think that they're at least trying to bring back all of the Brawl characters. I think - and hope - that Jigglypuff will return.

Also since this thread is for characters that are confirmed to return, we should probably move this conversation to the main Smash 4 thread.

thing is

Jigglypuff wears the classiest hats in her "alternate outfits"

that alone should keep her in

This plus the fact that

means Jigglypuff returning is very likely
 
I still don't see any reason to drop Jigglypuff

Toon Link has had a few games already. The most recent game he was in was Spirit Tracks (and the Wind Waker remake [I assume the remake still refers him as Toon Link]), and A Link Between Worlds is coming out in a few weeks.

Oh, that's really "recent", huh? A Link Between Worlds don't count a Toon Link game I think.

Though it doesn't mean that Nintendo won't make any new game for WiiU/3DS after SSB4, I don't think adding a character to SSB without any new game can mean that Nintendo do take that series seriously.

Oh, sorry. But comparatively if Jigglypuff is a true star, hope that s/he can return to the TVseries.
