User blog:GreninjaBoss11/My Super Smash Bros. 6 Speculation!

Now, before I even begin, Sakurai considers Smash Wii U the fifth Smash. As such, I do to.

These are the characters that will be returning. The newcomers will be at the bottom.

Mario: The Mario series will continue to have all of its current reps. However, it is unknown wether Dr. Mario will be a palette swap or not.

Wario/Yoshi: Both Wario and Yoshi will return.

DK: Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong will return, with Diddy's move set being altered to make him a bit less annoying.

Zelda: As with Mario, Zelda will have all of its reps, with Ganondorf finally be fully de-cloned, and Zelda/Sheik will return. Young Link will return with a move set based on the masks of Majora's Mask.

Metroid: Samus and Zero Suit Samus will return, but will remain separate.

Kid Icarus: Pit, Palutena, and Dark Pit will all return, but Dark Pit will be de-cloned.

Punch-Out!!: Little Mac will return.
