Kylo Ren for Smash! Nah, just kidding

Cloud and Midgar will likely be released just after the Direct.

As for characters, hmmm I think we will get two or three more, one or two newcomers and one veteran.
 * Newcomer: It will come down to Isaac, King K. Rool, Inkling, or Shantae due to their enduring high popularity, and the involvement from the company that made Shantae. Overall I am hoping K. Rool as he's a villain, heavyweight, and not a swordsman.
 * Veteran: Wolf - I really can't see any dropped character other than him come back.

Wolf comes out after the Direct, while the one or two newcomers will come out around February 2016.

Hmmm, stages...we will get obligatory stages for the battle characters. Hoping for Gangplank Galleon if K. Rool is revealed. For other stages, possibly a Splatoon stage regardless of whether or not Inklings are playable, also I want Poke Floats or Poke Floats 2!

We haven't had any item or assist trophy DLC, so Nintendo may shake things up by introducing some. Honestly, not sure what they would add, though I'd like to see Dimentio from Paper Mario and Judd from Splatoon as Assist Trophies.

Finally, there's online mode. I'd most like to see an improvement in online moderation to ease all the complaints. And given the success of Super Mario Maker, why not have a feature where people can share their custom stages online, and people can view them and download it to their console?

But...what if...there was the biggest reveal of all...

A STORY MODE???

Well, I'm now officially off the deep end.
