Also Bandana Dee would work very well in Smash. His moveset is already in a Kirby game. So not like Sakurai’s going to change it.
 
Sakurai is already showing that he loves Kirby. Kirby has been in every Smash game. Kirby has the most basic moveset. And Kirbyism gameplay in Smash. Don’t forget Subspace Emissary. So overall Kirby creator loves his pink son.

How do you know? Some of the 3DS/WiiU DLC characters got their own animated trailers. Ryu’s even payed homage to his game.
@Dirty Bit
The Bandana Dee insults “lulz ppl want a stoopid goomba with a spear” are kinda hilarious in hindsight now that Piranha Plant is an official bonus fighter.
As I said before, Bandana Dee might actually work well in SSB, he’d be the first character who uses a spear giving him some lengthy attacks, (like the Castlevania characters) and his in-game attacks from “Kirby’s Return to Dreamland” (Wii/WiiU) would make for a good moveset.
Of course, some might get angry and accuse Sakurai of “Kirby favoritism” again if he does get in… (But what else is new? Other series still have more characters in SSB then Kirby does.)
 
Mario, Pokemon, Fire Emblem, and maybe Legend of Zelda all have more representation than Kirby.
 
I say maybe because some might not count Link, Young Link, and Toon Link as “separate” representatives.

What do you mean “maybe,” there’s only 3 Kirby characters, and way more Zelda ones.  
Link, Zelda, Ganondorf, Shiek, Toon Link, Young Link. (And maybe Dark Link.) Even if you don’t count the alternative Links, there’s still more. Still, a shame the Skull Kid rumors turned out false, as a new Zelda character would be cool.
 
“Toon Zelda” was actually considered for Brawl, but scrapped. It was speculated she becomes Tetra as her “Sheik” form.
 
@igotnopicks  
Still, I don’t feel Kirby is that overexposed in the series, or has that much favoritism personally. Mario, Fire Emblem, Pokémon, and Zelda all have way more representation in SSB. Heck if you count NPCs, there’s more Pokémon characters then anything else.
 
And with K. Rool added, we have 3 DK characters now, same as Kirby, as well as 3 Star Fox, and 3 Kid Icarus ones.

In fact, he refused to add King Dedede to SSB N64 & Melee, because he was afraid of being accused of favoritism.  
But sense some fans kept requesting Dedede, and/or Meta Knight, he added them to Brawl.

Dedede does appear flying in the background of the original N64 Kirby stage, but for some it’s hard to tell it was him. Similarly, Ridley appears in the original Metroid stage. So basically Ridley has cameo’d in every game before finally becoming playable in “Ultimate.”
 
I still remember back when Ridley & Star Wolf cameo’d in Melee’s opening scene, that lead to many rumors that they were in the game. Same for F-Zero’s Samurai Goroh. (Whom gets killed in Melee’s intro.)

The fact that most of Zelda’s reps consists of multiple versions of Link is gross and depressing. Zelda has a huge pool of characters that would be great to be see, like Impa, Skull Kid, Midna and Lana

@Littlecabbit  
So he chose Incineroar specifically because he wanted both a wrestler archetype and a very recent character in the game, same character or not, and Incineroar is both of those. Makes perfect sense to me.

How? I just pointed out there’s not much Kirby stuff in the SSB series.
 
@Whomps  
Problem is, like most adventure or RPG games, alot of the other Zelda characters are one-shots that the series quickly forgets about, or replaces with a different one. Timeline aside, every new Zelda game is practically a reboot with a new Link, in a new Hyrule layout, a new Zelda, with a new sidekick, new NPC cast, ect. (Though, I can’t remember if there’s more then one Ganon.)
 
Only a few characters like Impa, Tingle, Beedle, or Dr. Wright (yes, the “SNES Sim City” guy who’s in all the Gameboy games) tend to be recurring, or reincarnated characters, and not many SSB players are begging for them.  
Granted, Sheik is a one-shot too. Still, the other Zelda characters get plenty of exposure in the “Hyrule Warriors” spinoff series.
 
And technically, the three Links are still three different Links.  
With the “Breath of the Wild” Link even looking more different, with new weapons, and such. While Young Link is the Ocarina/Majora Link, and has the more traditional Link SSB weapons, while Toon Link has differences, as well.
 
@Shepherd  
Pigman Ganon is kinda in as a final smash, but yeah, classic Ganon might be nice to see, especially now that “Link Between Worlds” gives him a 3D design.

TIL that the male Pokemon Trainer has alt-skins based on the male protagonist of Generations 2, 4, and 6, while the female Pokemon Trainer has alt-skins based on the female protagonist of Generations 3, 5, and 7.
 
I wonder if they’re just palette-swaps or a fully-designed character (that is, if Gen 3 PT is going to have May’s bandanna, or if Gen 6 PT is going to have Calem’s jacket+pants.)

It seems like an embargo on Ultimate broke, because videos are coming out of people getting to play early.  
Palutena’s Guidance is back. New lines for newcomers and Sm4sh DLC too I guess, but for the most part the returning roster reuses the old lines. Some like Link got new lines given they look different. Chrom will have some choice words for Viridi I’m sure, and it seems Pit recognises Simon. Perhaps from a certain cartoon?  
Classic ends with sorta Race to the Finish? and the final fight is not Master Hand but a boss from Story Mode. Like Mario fights Giga Bowser as a boss and not a final smash.
