That's weird, nothing like that happened that I heard of.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see the Heropon smash-crash-pow in Smash, but chances are someone from Xenoblade Chronicles X would get that potential second slot first, and even if not, he'd be fighting against the likes of Melia and Seven for that playable spot.
"Yeah, it's a shame. Here we are in an underground cave with all these lasers, and instead of having a rave we're using it for evil."Phosphora might be neat but Riki might not add too much. Given how his Arts work, I can't really imagine him being all that interesting under the mechanics of Smash Bros. Now Melia, on the other hand, could be really cool and Difficult, but Awesome since there could be something like all of her directional specials being Summon Element while her neutral special is Elemental Burst that differs depending on what element was last summoned. Her Final Smash could even be something like Mind Blast which could briefly lock the last used special of anyone hit by it and remove all buffs.
Dunban could also be neat since he could be set up to where all of his directional specials rely on his neutral special to get the most effect and while Blossom Dance would make a badass Final Smash, I think Melia would add more.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!Can't see Viridi getting in unless this theoretical Kid Icarus Uprising 2 makes her actually appear in battle or something. As it stands she's nothing more than Mission Control for her army.
Phosphora would be neat, though she lacks plot significance compared to Medusa. Sakurai seems quite fond of her, though, making her an assist trophy, not to mention her being the only commander in the Forces of Nature to appear again during the game. If they got a new character, I could see it definitely being her.
Of course, I don't think Kid Icarus will be getting any new characters unless we get another game in its series.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!This is going on the assumption that Sakurai makes the next Smash, but it's clear he likes Viridi a lot. She appears in the background of the 3DS version and got a ton of dialogue on the Wii U. Pit but edgy may have been easier, but Viridi has a lot of importance, personality, and overall presence in the only game that matters. If he wants another KI character next game, he'll probably go for the one that he likes the most. It helps that she's definitely more popular than Medusa, though it's hard to say between Viridi and Hades. And her moveset can easily takes cues from the stuff the Forces of Nature did.
Medusa's biggest chance comes from her being the original villain and Palutena's rival. She has more history with the series, which Sakurai does respect. But this is moot anyway since we probably won't get another KI character unless another KI game comes out, which is far from guaranteed.
For Xenoblade, right now I've got my money of Elma from X being next in line. She seems particularly important, and since the MC seems to be a customizable blank slate it'll be easier for side characters to get in. But obviously we'll need to see the details when it comes out.
Kid Icarus isn't Mario/Zelda, or even Fire Emblem level. Even with its success they're not going to make another one just because. They'll make another one if they have gameplay mechanics and ideas that fits well with the series. Or if Sakurai feels up for another one. Which I initially thought he wasn't, but parts of Palutena's Guidance does make me wonder.
As for AT's I want upgraded, I'd like Ashley (little chance), Dark Samus (little chance), Ghirahim, Midna (no chance for either, though Tingle has a shot), Phosphora (no chance), Saki (little chance), Goroh (slight chance), Takamaru (most likely I think), or Waluigi (little chance since Toad will be coming first). Issac and Ray are also cool, though I don't know if if losing their position helps or hurts them.
I know this is the worst idea ever, but a part of me really wants to see the next Little Mac be PONG. NOBODY would see it coming, even moreso than Wii Fit Trainer. Its (their?) stage would be pong of course, and there would be nothing but silence for music. It's trailer would have everyone bowing down in respect to it except maybe G&W, who would see it as a father figure. I can see it now...
"PONG paddles into Battle!"

Uh...
◊ has anybody had this happen?
If you're wondering it says I'm unable to join the game if I try.
