There's no way that Nintendo would only have nine newcomers, though. I mean, look at Brawl's extensive cast of newcomers! They're bound to have some more new characters - especially with 2-3 more months until release.

But to be honest, I doubt that K. Rool and Chrom will get in. For one, K. Rool hasn't been seen in a Donkey Kong game since... I don't know, King of Swing or something! And Chrom would just be too similar to Marth in playstyle.
