Not every character who has appeared in previous Smash Bros titles will be appearing in Super Smash Bros - because there isn't enough time to recreate them all.

Designer Masahiro Sakurai explained the reason when NowGamer asked if all the previous characters will return.

 

“I can answer that: no. We don’t have the time to fully recreate every single character who’s been in Smash Bros at this point. Adding new characters is not a simple addition – it’s really multiplication. The amount of work, adding a character is multiplied and becomes bigger and bigger as you go. We can’t because of the amount of work it takes. However, I do believe I understand that each character has its own set of fans out there who really like that character. So we’re not going to cut characters out of the way, we’re going to put in as many characters as we can, we really want to do that, because it’s good for the fans and good for all of us. But in the event that we do have to cut some characters, I’d like to apologise in advance to those fans.”

I will be really dissapointed of Snake gets the axe, but he is most likely to go. At least he doesn't want to cut out anyone.

Kirby is in smash bros no matter what. And they already announced some of the characters and both Kirby and Pikachu are in it.

 

DLC.

Sadly I don't think they are going to have DLC. http://www.ign.com/a...ripping-removed

Exactly, you should never announce you are going to have DLC before you even finish and release the game. That would be a slap in the face to your customers/gamers. Once the project is finished, on shelves and in eshops for 6 months, I bet we get a DLC pack.

I think we will see more new characters this time around and some of the less popular ones will get the axe.

I'm hoping Ike and Pokemon Trainer make the cut and will be in SSB4.

Oh noes this is bad news! I want all the characters back :( I hope Ice Climbers are back, because they're saying that they are having trouble with them. Hopefully they don't cut them altogether. 

And why don't they have enough time...? I'll wait if it means more characters :P

And what about returning characters? I knew Sakurai wouldn't want to get too specific—Nintendo likes to announce characters for their big mascot fighting series with a dripfeed of news on the Smash Bros. Dojo website—but should fans expect all of their favorites from Melee and Brawl?

"The reality of the situation unfortunately is that there are certain limitations on the 3DS," Sakurai said. The 3DS and Wii U versions of the next Smash Bros will have the same library of characters.

Looks like the limits of the 3DS are hindering the number of the character roster.

I suspect at least a roster of 48 at the most.

I hope you are wrong. Ganondorf is too iconic to leave out.

 

I think it is more likely for Sheik or Toon Link to be kicked out before Ganondorf.

Sheik can't leave: she's too essential for Zelda's moveset. Toon Link will probably be replaced for Girahim or something.

I hope Im wrong too, hes my favorite guy :P

 

 

Hopefully instead of giving him the axe they just change the move sets between Ganondorf and Capt. Falcon, instead of them being reskinned clones

My predictions : Ike, Lucario, Snake, R.O.B., Pokemon Trainer, Toon Link, and Lucas won't make the cut.

 

I really hope Jigglypuff doesn't make it, she's just taking up space at this point in my opinion. She's not very relevant in the Pokemon seires anymore. 

I also may be in denial about Wolf. He probably has a decent chance of being cut, but I love him too much :(
