Hey guys. right so to cut to the chase I reckon that the DLC characters will consist of both Mewtwo (Confirmed) and a newcomer of a new franchise only. I have 3 pieces of "evidence" as to why I think this is. (Please try to read everything before commenting)

1) If you examine the character selection screen (WiiU) you'll notice that it is a bit off. The top and bottom rows are one slot shorter than the middle two rows, causing the whole thing to be a bit awkward in shape. This could be intentional of Sakurai as he could have known there would be 2 more characters to add, making it a nice rectangle: The DLC. [1 more character would complete the bottom row as it were. 1 more onto that would cause Villager to move up and take Falcon's place, Falcon would then take Ness's place, Ness would then take ROB's place, ROB would move up and take Duck Hunt Dog's place and then Duck Hunt would move up and "complete" the top row next to Mac] Now I'm not saying that since 2 more characters would make it a nicer shape then that MUST be the case but it would make sense since it would mean Nintendo had planned out what they were doing as per. I mean why would they have made it that weird shape to begin with on disc? If the number of DLC was random and never mattered then they would just make it a rectangle and then worry about misshaping it afterwards, wouldn't they?

2) Now for my second point. With every Smash game, the amount of newcomers has been subjected to a formula of (U0 = 12;N+2) each time. 64 had 12 (duh), Melee had 14 (Including Sheik), Brawl had 16 (Including Zero Suit), and now this new game has... 17? (Including Mii types). Now, nobody has ever confirmed this formula to be true but Sakurai can be sneaky so who knows..? There's a good chance it could be legitimate. And if this is the case then one more newcomer added will bring the total up to 18, keeping with the pattern.

3) So we've covered newcomers... What about new franchises? Well, with the same format of my last argument if we use the formula (U0 = 0;N+3) then each roster has 3 extra franchises within it represented by respective characters. The only problem here is that 64 would have be 0 even though there are 10. But otherwise, Melee has 3 (Ice Climber, G+W, Fire Emblem), Brawl has 6 (WarioWare, Kid Icarus, ROB, Pikmin, Metal Gear, Sonic) and the new game has... 8? (Punch Out, Duck Hunt, Animal Crossing, Wii Fit, Xenoblade, Pacman, Megaman, Mii)... we need a 9th to keep up with this pattern, don't we?

So I submit to you that when we draw these 3 fairly irrefutable conclusions together then could say that there in fact will be TWO DLC charcters and that ONE of them will be a newcomer. We know it won't be Krystal or King K Rool or the likes of that because that would not represent a 9th new series added to the game. My guess either Rayman or Isaac at this point.

Now of course you have to understand that this is utter speculation and, at the end of the day, a fan theory. You don't have to agree with, accept or even understand this little concept of mines but I thought I would bring it to attention nonetheless. Thank you for your patience is reading all that btw :D)
