Ice Climbers still have about as good a chance as any, but it's much more likely they'll be heavily changed in how they play to work with the 3DS limitation. Honestly I wonder just how many more characters in general the 3DS can hold.
I'm pretty sure the concept of Law having limits was a translation error. -WanderlustwarriorI've thought of more than a few:
ASSIST TROPHIES THAT SHOULD BE FIGHTERS (this counts both Brawl and 4 A Ts):
- Ashley
- Shadow
- Saki
- Ray Mk II
- Isaac
- Waluigi
RETURNING VETS:
- Wolf
- Snake
NINTENDO NEWCOMERS:
- Krystal
- King K. Rool
- Bandana Dee
- Paper Mario
- Viridi
- Hades
- Xenoblade X protagonist
- Fire Emblem Fates protagonist *Isa (if Saki is not an option)
- Captain Rainbow
THIRD PARTY NEWCOMERS: *Knuckles
- Proto Man
- Bass
- Scorpion
- Bayonetta
- Shovel Knight
- Shantae
- Patty Wagon (from Mighty Switch Force)
- Ni GH Ts
- Alex Kidd
- Travis Touchdoen (from No More Heroes)
I would be fine with any of these characters being DLC.
AAAAUUUUGGGHHHH!!!!I need to learn how to mess with people using that Taunt
I really don't taunt very often though, except maybe when I'm using Kirby and I feel like ditching a copy power just before the match can end... Especially if I managed to use that power to finish the match.
It's maybe a little mean, but it amuses me sometimes.
I will continue to burst out laughing at anyone who seriously thinks Sceptile should be a fighter.
He wasn't even important or popular at the time of his release, and he's still not important or popular now. Seriously, he was the least popular of the Gen 3 starters; Blaziken was, well, Blaziken, and Swampert had the Mudkip meme boosting it. And yet I don't see any Smash fans clamoring for those two, and for good reason.

"It's liberating, realizing you never need to be competent." — UltimatepheerAnd some want a playable 3rd Gen character. Don't forget that one. It's a 3-prong reasoning.
The one thing that'll make him remotely possible is the poll and a good unique moveset idea with it. And of course, Gamefreak, The Pokemon Company, and Creatures Inc. being okay with putting him in. And Sakurai actually doing more than one DLC fighter per franchise.
To say the least, I don't expect any Pokemon character DLC after Mewtwo, but who knows. I still want Pichu back, after all~
Shadow?Me liking Sceptile aside, I think Pokemon has enough reps in Smash as it is. I'm hoping this Pokken thing will draw the Pokemon votes out that way because we really don't need any more in Smash, and I don't think every gen needs a rep. Actually, they definitely don't need a rep for every gen.
Also for all the love Waluigi gets, I'd much rather have Daisy represent the Mario spin-offs. Seems like a more fun character for the job and out of all the Mario characters not currently in the game, I feel like she's the one most actively looking to start fights.
I'm pretty sure the concept of Law having limits was a translation error. -WanderlustwarriorWhile I feel like Waluigi belongs, I know he doesn't have a big enough role yet to justify a spot.
Why hasn't he appeared in a Warioware or Wario Land game yet?!

"It's liberating, realizing you never need to be competent." — UltimatepheerOne idea I imagined was a Wario Ware game where Waluigi opens a rival game company and you have to make mini-games better than the ones his company is putting out. (In the end, the companies merge and Wario, Waluigi, and their employees make their games together.)
I also was hoping Waluigi would be in Super Mario 3D World when they announced another playable character other than the main four, but oh well.
@Sceptile: I wouldn't mind Sceptile being in Smash at all, (though I think I'd rather see Swampert, my favorite starter line, in Smash) but I'm getting the feeling that we won't be seeing additional Pokemon reps in Smash. (Oh well, there's always Pokken.)

"I'm glad I don't wear shoes or else I'd have to always get shoes in two different sizes. ...If you know, you know!"Kinda different in terms of size...
◊ And that tail being 3 times longer than the body, when Pikachu has tail attacks, could be a problem.
But neither Raichu nor Wigglytuff never getting a trophy is a bit jarring.

No actual word has been given regarding their status as DLC, but Sakurai's already said that he got his personal picks out of the way first, and it's a tad unlikely that the ballot is going to prove favorable for them.
