Realistically speaking, who would be the newcomers?

poop emoji from the emoji movie

Inklings are the only real safe bet in terms of first party newcomers.

There's always at least one new Pokemon.

Bomberman probably has a chance considering Nintendo convinced Konami to make new games, good chance of a deal being made there.

My most wanted newcomers are Dixie, Travis Touchdown and Simon Belmont.

...

Skull Kid, Geno, Ridley, Waluigi

One new Pokemon rep, one new Mario rep, one more Fire Emblem rep, as usual.

Aside from that
>Inkling
>Bayonetta
>some ARMS character
>some Ubisoft rep
>another Capcom rep, probably Ryu again or a Megaman character

yes I know Ryu and Bayo aren't newcomers, but I mean it as "non-DLC"

3 more fire emblem characters

Realistically speaking, this is never gonna happen to begin with.

Rex with Pyra/Homura probably
Mario with cappy
Link with Sheikah Slate powers
Inklings
Pokemon gen 7/8 starter or fan favorite

I assume if they bother it'll just be a port of Wii U version with some of the 3DS exclusive content and the DLC included (except maybe third party stuff) with Ice Climbers and Inkling showing up either as some kind of "this is why you should buy the Switch version" bonus or just DLC.

You know it to be true

towa from the dragon ball xenoverse series

...

>Mario with cappy
>Link with Sheikah Slate powers

Not very likely that they'll drastically change their movesets, costumes are your best bet at this point.

>DDT'ing people left and right
how can this not be an obvious choice?

Realistically speaking I want a port of Smash 4 before they bother working on 5

Smash 4 is the only reason I still have a Wii U.

Bandai Namco will receive another rep (probably some guy from Tekken) and ATLUS will receive some type of rep as well, thinking of a SMT/Persona rep, or Jack Frost.

Name one home Nintendo console since the N64 that didn't have a Smash game.

>Implying they would change Mario or Link when we still have Falcondorf

They'll finally be forced to scrape the bottom of the barrel and my boy Isaac will get in.

Inklings
Elma
Springman/Ribbon Girl
Rex & Pyra/Mythra
a Bandai Namco representative (Heihachi potentially)
An Inti Creates character

Toad.

Travis might have a real chance now so that's exciting.

Travis Touchdown
K. Rool
Ray-001

Splatoon girl and Doomguy

Inklings
An Arms character
Rex + Pyra replacing Shulk

Rabbids obviously

Cappy will absolutely replace the cape. The only Sheikah power I could see making it in would be remote bombs since it wouldn't change much

Here are two for you.
NES Classic
SNES Classic

This +Sylux, Decidueye and Ice Climbers (not newcomers but still relevant). Prince Sidon would be a great wtf character

wew lad, sure proved me wrong...

Assuming there was an SMT rep I'd put my money on it being Jack Frost (or Teddie/Morgana maybe, whatever their mascot is now) just because adding Joker would lead to a lot of whining about "muh nonexistant switch port" and making it someone who can choose personae at will instead of someone with a more strict moveset you can design off of would take more work that they probably can't be assed to do.

>Cappy will absolutely replace the cape.

Delusional. Cape is a mainstay in Mario's moveset and unlike with the FLUDD you can't just make the cape an A move.

>The only Sheikah power I could see making it in would be remote bombs since it wouldn't change much

I imagine it would be a cosmetic change with Link's BoTW costume.

Inklings
Spring Man
Twintelle
Elma
Rex+Pyra
Susie + Mech Suit
Midna (True Form)
Yamato
Agnes Oblige
Wonder Red
Travis Touchdown
Urbosa

Blaze the Cat
Fierce Deity Link
KOS-MOS
Camilla

Elma and Rex as Xenoblade reps.

Rex’s down B special switching between Pyra and Mythra totally changing their movesets

>tfw no Wonderful 102 to guarantee Wonder Red

Newcomers for Smash 5:
Inkling
Spring Man
New Pokemon
Dovahkiin
Minecraft Steve

i need them back, guys. i want them to be able to do all the crazy melee hand-off shit but remove fucking wobbling that shit is stupid

Inklings
Waluigi
Gengar
King K. Rool
Travis Touchdown

If they ever add another Zelda rep, its gotta be him. I'm still fucking baffled the series got blue balled in sm4sh even through the DLC while Fire emblem was getting newcomers up the wazoo

Why the fuck do people think that the Switch isn't getting Smash?

Shovel Knight to represent the Nindies thing they're pushing a lot

The fact that Jack Frost hasn't even gotten a mention in Smash as a trophy or even a sticker is a travesty.

...

Because he's a one-off villain, like Zant or Vaati.

Inkling, spring man, rex and pyra, hero of the wild (with old link and toon link's names changing to hero of Twilight and wind resoectively), fe18 protag, rabbids, ice climbers

A capcom/snk/namco pack

>hero of the wild (with old link and toon link's names changing to hero of Twilight and wind resoectively)

I'd be alright with this, although I don't like the names you've chosen.

Woomy, Rex, ARMS boi, Shovel Cunt

Inkling, Crash Bandicoot, Decidueye, Pauline, somebody from Puyo Puyo Tetris

Nikki, monita, WALUIGI, Zero, Monster Hunter, Phoenix Wright, SMT5 protag

I expect Smash Switch to be a port that maybe continues to update the game a little.

Spring Man/Ribbon Girl
Inkling
Mega Man X
Shovel Knight
Snake
Wolf
Ice Climbers
Crono

He's a one-off villain but he wasn't a cock-slave for the real bad guy in his game like Zant or Ghiriham. Now that you mention him Vaati would be bretty cool and make more sense than skull kid considering hes been in more games and kinda represents the GBA lineup of zelda

>realistic

Goddammit.

>you will never see Felix use Odyssey in glorious HD

Better question, what Mii Fighter outfit announcement could top this?

Roy

oh pls i need this

snake or raiden would be really good
especially raiden

I got sent to smash hell again. Has it been figured out exactly how long it lasts? i read that if you connect online under a week, the ban lasts longer :^(

>fuckton of Bethesda games on the Switch
>need to top Snake and Cloud in the weird third-party category

>western 3rd party character
Rayman is the only one that has a shot.

Sringmen from springfield

Multiple characters will be cut to make room for more Fire Emblem characters.

Not a newcomer, but they'll be back.

Eggman and Kumatora

I would honestly be happier if some characters got removed to retain the fucking game's identity. Successful Nintendo characters or successful classic characters only. Inklings in, Corrin and Robin out.
