>>56343300Maybe Jigglypuff, but probably only temporarily, yeah she's "muh original 12" but I wish Smash fans would realized that Charizard, Lucario, and Greninja should be prioritized over her. Puff also has to compete with so many other veterans now, not just Pokemon. I say temporarily since I can see her being a free post launch character like Piranha Plant
I can also see Squitle and Ivysaur being cut and Charizard going solo again if we have to be strict with how many vets return next game.
Maybe Incineroar gets replaced by the gen 9/10 rep, which sucks because I like playing as him. Though to be fair, Sakurai seemed to really want a wrestling character and gave him a ton of extra animations for attacks so maybe he stays.
Mewtwo might be sold as as dlc again
I don't think next game will be a massive reboot or halved roster, I think between vets and newcomers, I think the base roster will be slightly bigger than Smash 4's base roster at least
At bare mininum I think Pikachu, Charizard, Lucario, and Greninja, and maybe Incineroar, will return base game with Jigglypuff Mewtwo sold as dlc
