I don't think any Mario, Pokemon, or Kid Icarus character will be cut, but I do think Dark Pit and Lucina would be turned into alt. costumes. Also, no clones will be cut, because they can be reworked, and all of them (excluding the alt. costume clones) have been in at least 2 Smash games. Finally, Mewtwo is not a Smash Bros clone. It's a unique character that shares maybe two moves with another character.
