I'm lookin' it up to ease the nagging feeling in my head that it's Disney.

As far as I can see, Disney's got the copyrights to the series and anything that wasn't already a Square Enix property.

At the very least, they seem to own the first three games.

And then there's this tidbit from the KH Ultimania.

[up]Because Square have bigger characters as well as characters they can use for promotional purposes.

I think that Black Mage, Cloud, and Kefka are more likely than Geno and Sora.

Terra's somewhat likely. Kefka's probably the more famous FFVI character, though.

Kefka isn't even that popular in Japan, I don't think. (And not being the protagonist typically rules you out as being more likely than the protagonist, barring exceptions like... say, uh, Diablo? That's the best I've got.)

Isn't Kefka more popular in America? Smash does sometimes include characters more popular in the west (Samus, Sonic, and Little Mac are examples).

Those are all the main characters of entire franchises, though. You'd probably have people in Japan going "ugh but {x} is more popular than Kefka" or something. America too, actually. When it comes to Squeenix I usually see Slime or Black Mage requested more often so, if they WERE to pick someone based on what the Western fanbase wants...

I'd imagine Nintendo would get a Dragon Quest character from Square if they get anyone since DQ is bigger than FF in Japan and DQ has stuck with Nintendo more than FF.

... everyone does realize that Nintendo requests use of the character from the Third Party company and then the two then negotiate on terms for their use, right?

It'll be an assist trophy. And hop after the closest fighter to cause minor damage with nearly no knockback.

Or, they could use them to represent Dragon Quest as a whole. Rocket Slime gave us some good ideas for what else a slime can do, and there are many types of slimes it can derive moves from.

[Cue to a silhouette of Isaac. When it comes to color it turns out to be a slime! That morphs into the more traditional slime shape.]

Cloud isn't likely because FFVII hasn't been on a Nintendo system (yet) and Kefka's not that popular in Japan, anyway.

Besides, does Nintendo seem interested in putting FF characters in Smash Bros?

While I'm still of the opinion that Level 5 will get someone (Jibanyan) before Square, Snake and Ryu show that Nintendo doesn't care too much about how much they're currently with Nintendo as long as there's some history. A post FFVI character is unlikely, but otherwise any notable characters from Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest are fair game.

With Final Fantasy Explorers around the corner, does that make it Cloud's first appearance on a Nintendo console?

I've heard Cloud's first appearance proper on a Nintendo console was Kingdom Hearts: Re:Coded, but beyond that there's also Theatrhythm Final Fantasy.

I feel like there's other examples I'm missing but that's all I can think of.

I forgot Theatrhytm was a thing...

And didn't know the DS KH games had him in them.

I could swear that Cloud featured as a summon in Chain of Memories on the GBA.
