@Baffle Blend: Nope. They were probably removed very early, while Pittoo and Dr. Mario were added really late. Just like Lucina was.
As Lucas nor Wolf are actually clones(they're very different with just a few identical or similar moves), Sakurai would be making them more similar to their counterparts. That wouldn't sit well with others. It makes more sense to finish them as DLC and make them more unique while keeping the extra guys. Clones are not that popular. Reducing an original character to a more cloneish one is even less popular. Also, they may be still in, as the final roster might not be that.
The only ones we should really worry about not being DLC is Ice Climbers. If they're aren't in now, the technical issues could actually be impossible to fix. The only other way would be to probably change it so you get one Climber, with a variation of the moveset. But that may or may not go well, so it's an iffy idea.
Shadow?Yes, his tongue is its own Assist Trophy.
And it seems that today's Word or Phrase of the Day is "edge out".

Not sure why you bring that up; everybody's been aware for a while now that Sakurai's unlikely to get through them all before the Japanese release.
Do you think there will be DLC? Nintendo's been kind of cautious about that. And since the general person doesn't know how game development works, the fact that Mario Golf's DLC was Day 1 kind of hurt the chances if you ask me.
@Perseus: Super SFIV, PSASBR, Toon Link, and Lucario all point to there not being any Unlockables this time.

I'm saying it's starting to form a pattern in the industry, that's what it has to do with this.

"It's liberating, realizing you never need to be competent." — UltimatepheerIf the reason some were cut were due to "not enough time", I'd say yes.
The only thing I can't really predict for DLC is who is on it. Besides the cuts(whoever they may be), at best. Snake I'm slightly iffy on, but that's a 3rd party thing. Wolf and Lucas, not so much. Ice Climbers entirely depends if he could ever fix the issue. Old stuff like Mewtwo or previous clones are possible too.
I'm pretty sure nobody is saying that about the Ice Climbers, Perseus. We're just not sure if they're back, plain and simple. It's "There's a fairly good chance they're cut, and the issue might not be fixable, but who knows."

There's a practical reason those games don't have any Unlockables. Players don't want to have to unlock everything before setting up a match.

Yeah, let's all cut the melodrama. Anyone want to obsess over Ghirahim instead? Seems he got edged out by other topics today.
I have a message from another time...
