how long will some characters stay in smash games

[ghmaster]

now we all know that mario and his pals and enemies r staying in but there a few questionable people. Like Ike he is strong but he replaced roy who was strong and fast Ike is just strong. Lucas is just a less stronger ness bye bye. And snake every1's favorite fighter but he does not have a great variety of moves so i say hes gone in the next brawl wat do u think

[Rookie]

Lucario
Lucas
Wolf
Toon Link

Really, only the "cloneish" (I didn't call them clones) ones and Lucario because he replaced Mewtwo. Even though these guys have a slim chance to leave, they are the only ones I beleive you actually have to worry about.

EDIT: also Snake and Sonic for being 3rd party. I probably missed more, but whatever.

[Oracle]

I don't see Ike and Wolf making another return.

[guilemaster]

Unfortunately, Ike will probably sit the next one out. As will Sonic and (maybe) Snake. I'd gladly have Ike replaced with Jaffar, Lyn, or (praying still!) Roy. Snake will be missed, but i won't mind having a Castlevania character over Sonic or Snake. Richter or maybe a Charlotte/Jonathan tag team thing. That'd be sweetness.

[Oracle]

Jonathan would be so shweet.

[guilemaster]

I know right! It'd be so awesome if the greatest five attack was like a final smash or something. It'd be even more awesome if the summoned guys were in their original, pixelated forms! That would definitely make him full of win.

[Oracle]

Combined with dual-equipped Heaven's Swords will make him ten times more win.

hmmm. i really dont see jigglypuff making another comeback and toon link is questionable along with ike but i would be sad if he left. also lucario is replacable and r.o.b is one of those border line charictors.

Jigglypuff is one of the original. She's stupid, but classic. You CAN'T take her out.

Definitely Out:
Lucario
Lucas
Snake
Ike

Maybe:
Sonic
R.O.B.
King Dedede
Zero Suit Samus
Toon Link
Pokemon Trainer (that or just new Pokemon for him)

If Nintendo removes characters that are extremely similar to a clone of another character then why was Mewtwo removed. Ike and Wolf could stay, they have their own movesets, movement differentiates. But we don't know what Nintendo decides. Maybe they add a character then remove him then add someone different in his place each game. Which is really stupid.

I hope they continue to add a lot of new characters that are not clones. Marina from Mischief Makers for next character in brawl! I want to start a huge petition/fanclub begging for her to join.

King Dedede, R.O.B, Zero suit Samus, Lucario and Pokemon trainer I could see staying for valid reasons. Now Snake and Sonic may get removed. If Nintendo doesn't have a problem and both creators of the two still want them in they'll likely stay. Although I want them to fix Snake's priority and overall brokenness. Jiggypuff should die all ready.
