User blog comment:Nevermind0309/Characters I think will be removed in the next Super Smash Bros. Game/@comment-2221250-20110706154122

I doubt any of these. Mostly Snake and Sonic. Why? Snake, just below Mr. Game and Watch is the biggest Threat Character to Lucario, one of the Game's best characters. Without him, Lucario is very overpowered. And Sonic, well I personally think Nintendo is getting huge profits from Sega to put Sonic in the game. That and there's a high chance that Shadow is in the Next game.
