In my opinion, Lucas, Wolf, Ike, R.O.B. and Snake may remove from Smash Bros. Reasons are...Lucas: very unpopular among foreign players believing he's Ness's clone (or faker) and no knowledge of him since MOTHER 3 never released in the foreign. Wolf: too similar from Fox's and impossible to think of new and original moves for Wolf. Ike: possibly exchanged with a new FE character, for Ike's games are now too old for today. R.O.B.: only important for Subspace Emissary and since there's no story mode for SSB4. Snake: didn't fit right in Smash Bros.'s world and his moves were too complicated to control, plus people prefer him as a Playstaton sider than Nintendo sider.

Meta Knight may have his return, but it might take long due to rebuilding his model and status to make him better and stronger, like how they did to Yoshi. Wario may have a possibility too since Ashley joined as an Assist Trophy, and Mr. G & W may return as a final secret character once again. I'm not quite sure about Falco though...
