See topic/poll/both. Considering that we're already at 29 characters, it's very unlikely all the newcomers have been revealed as of yet, and I think Sakurai said that he was aiming for somewhere near the amount of characters Brawl had (35, minus Pokémon Trainer's Pokémon, Sheik and Zero Suit Samus), it's pretty likely that somebody will get cut.

Will it be you? Call this hotline today.

Re: Who isn't coming back?

Definitely Pokemon Trainer, with switching between characters deconfirmed he's basically useless.
 
Zero Suit Samus because Sakurai said so.
 
I think Jigglypuff is returning, but I could be wrong. Jigglypuff has the veteran advantage. At least one Pokemon character won't return because, well, look how of 'em we're getting.

I want R.O.B. to come back. I think it's representative of Nintendo, despite its O.K. games.
 
I'll be really surprised if they cut any of the Nintendo 64 original characters. Or Wario.

Ashley's existence as an Assist Trophy basically confirms that Wario will be playable - or at least, I'd say it does. And, since the Halberd's coming back, I'd now highly doubt they're cutting Meta Knight either.
 
Meta Knight is a pretty big face from the Kirby series, so I'd be shocked if he didn't make the cut, Halberd or no Halberd.
 
Pokemon Trainer is definitely dead, and I don't think Squirtle and Ivysaur can jump to standalone Pokemon. Despite me previously believing he was a shoe-in I now doubt Mewtwo's return. With Grininja's confirmation it's pretty much a battle between him and Jigglypuff for the fifth Pokemon slot, and I think Jiggs has the edge. I have no idea what will happen with Snake. Lucas, Ike, and R.O.B. are definitely in danger, but I can still see them returning. I think Falco and Wolf will return, but both have a small chance of getting the axe. Wario, Captain Falcon, Ness, Ice Climbers, Meta Knight, Ganondorf, and Mr. Game & Watch I still think are all shoe-ins (and I'm fairly surprised Ice Climbers have that many votes).
