I agree with all of your thoughts. Lucas and Wolf were clones, Ike will probably rotate out with Chrom(?), and Snake just didn't fit, as you said. I hope R.O.B. returns, but I highly doubt it, for similar reasons as Snake.

Meta Knight will probably return, probably because he was so popular in Brawl, and he is a staple of the Kirby franchise. I'm convinced Wario will return, solely for the reason that Ashley and Waluigi are Assist Trophies, and they both have a Wario emblem. This strongly hints at him returning. Lastly, G&W, Ganon, and Falco might return, simply since they were from Melee (you will notice that ALL other unannounced veterans mentioned were newcomers in Brawl). As long as Ganon and Falco have changed movesets.
