As far as I am aware of, Sakurai hasn't made that a clear distinction. While it's unlikely to get multiple 3rd party characters as Sakurai does want to make the game very Nintendo so he limits the outside entries, I don't think it necessarily excludes a new fighter from the same company if they are very Nintendo related. I'm going to guess there won't be additional SEGA fighter reps but at least a couple as Assist Trophies On an aside, I personally hope Isaac upgrades from Assist Trophy to a full character Andross, Devil, Doctor Wright, Knuckle Joe, Lyn, Metroid, Nintendog, Saki Amamiya, Samurai Goroh, Starfy, and Waluigi are the only confirmed returning Assist Trophies so far. Ashley, Chain Chomp, Color TV-Game 15, Dark Samus, Dillon, Elec Man, Isabelle, Midna, Mother Brain, and Skull Kid are the new Assist Trophies
