The only way to make a second Smash game on Switch would be to completely change the formula. If that would happen, I think they would rely on core characters/franchises, like Mario, Link, Samus, Pikachu, and Kirby.

Dream pick would probably be Ori, but I doubt he'd ever get in, and Rivals of Aether at least fills that niche anyways
On the first party side of things, I really want to see Waluigi, Dixie Kong, and Bandana Dee make their long-overdue debuts, along with some better Zelda representation and potentially Captain Toad or Paper Mario (action commands in a Smash moveset could be sick). I also think it'd be really funny if they managed to put together a moveset for Qbby, who I think would be the most suitable pick for a representative of Nintendo's smaller digital-only games (there have been 4 BoxBoy games, and they've been more consistently well-received than, say, Dillon's Rolling Western). As for third-parties, more Sonic representation would be nice - I think Shadow has potential beyond a simple Echo Fighter - though I honestly can't see how they'd make Eggman work. I'd also personally love to see Rayman, Doom Slayer, and Phoenix Wright
I sort of want a Triangle Strategy character… Serenoa would make the most sense, but I would love Frederica or Anna.
I don’t expect another Smash game any time soon though
It's absolutely out of the question but I think Lara Croft would undeniably be a welcome addition.
On the slightly more likely side of things, what with Ubisoft's recent collaboration with Nintendo, the Master Assassin himself: my logo here on Nintendo Life, Ezio Auditore da Firenze. Granted, this is only marginally more likely to occur, but hey: it'd be awesome.
Dream pick would be Asuka from Senran Kagura (yeah highly unlikely to happen)
I also would like the main duo from Buddy mission bond.
Ayumi Tachibana from Famicom Tantei
Main dude and / or demon from Time Twist
Donbe and Hikari from Shin onigashima
Seems like a waste of energy, hoping for characters for a series that's essentially done now.
We won't see another Smash game for decades.
Yeah, it's too popular/buzzworthy a series to be waiting decades for the next Smash game, lol (unless you think the next one will just be a jazzed up Ultimate port and thus aren't counting it, which fair enough).
While I don't think we'll get another on the Switch & Sakurai is probably done with it, I do think we'll see a new one on the next system, whether it be a jazzed up Ultimate port (with a few new characters/stages & all DLC included, licensing permitting), or a reboot of some sort.
