I'm going to keep my expectations as low as possible, that way anything more will be a pleasant surprise; I'm expecting 3 more vets and 1 more newcomer. I'm positive Sakurai will surprise and be secretive about as much as possible, so it's definitely realistic and reasonable to expect more than that. But heck, even if the roster stopped with the characters that have already been revealed, I'd still be satisfied. This will be a great game.
Games I'm playing: Hotline Miami 2, Smash Wii U, GTA V, Dying Light, Resogun
As I stated before, it's not really even up for debate at this point with most characters. Only Lucas and Wolf have a possibility of being cut, but even both of them are unlikely considering toon link and ike are both in. Polar bear is a Smash Run enemy, both the franklin badge and mr. saturn are returning, mr. g&w was in the trailer with pacman, and wario has a logo confirmed with Ashley (and Waluigi) as assist trophies.
Only characters likely to be cut are Ivsaur, squirtle, and Snake. Sakurai did say that he hasn't ruled out dlc, so there's always a small possibility of those characters coming back too.

I agree with the general feeling that most Brawl vets are going to return.
And, while I think it's s little silly, I reckon we might still see Snake. I don't think it's likely or anything, but I feel like Sakurai might just pull him out as a surprise to everyone.
Tbh though, other than no Shulk (who's probably in it) and Chorus Kids, I'm pretty content with the roster how it is. Every character from now on is just frosting.
Aren't we way overdue a proper Nintendo Direct now though? I was certain it was going to be this week.
If they're going to announce snake, it has to be before the release of the game. Mostly because they have to source Konami in saying that Nintendo was given permission to use there character. I believe that's law if I'm correct.
I'm talking about this if you don't know what I mean.
If snake did return i would be shocked and amazed.But for me i don't think so cause smash already has three third party characters, but if they add him then it will be four and that's too many. But with konami not releasing meta gear solid for the wiiu, it seems unlikely.But if they did then he would be in no problem in my opinion.
The Harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.
I'm currently playing Assassin's Creed: Revelations & Watch Dogs 2
A good amount of the characters everyone predicted would get cut have been confirmed to return (ie: Toon Link, Ike, Lucario)
So based on how things are going so far for veterans, it's led me to believe that Sakurai wants to make as little cuts as possible and just expand the roster rather than remove characters. Cause I'm sure he's very aware of the backlash that comes with cutting characters, and he probably want's to upset as little people as possible. I mean, we're STILL hearing the crying out of people upset over Mewtwo & Roy and the others left behind in Melee.
That's why I believe Squirtle & Ivysaur still have a chance, not a big chance but still a chance. I'm confident Sakurai had at least thought about them as much as Charizard when deciding on the roster years back.
