Smash fans can rejoice, for Nintendo, at last, has done it again! That's right: A new version of "Super Smash Bros." is being released this year.

While I'm just a casual in the world of smash, I still try to keep up with my favorite series. I have so many memories of button-smashing Melee on my Gamecube... ah. Those were the days.

The newest game in the series is set to be released later this year. Nintendo psyched out the crowd when they launched the trailer. You can watch it here, but in short, it started out looking like a Splatoon trailer before shifting into something greater.

One of the best parts about Smash is the variety of characters you can play. After unlocking, the original game had 12, Melee had 26, Brawl had 37, and Wii U/3DS had 58. Personally, I feel like 40 is more than enough, yet I know there are people who disagree. What does this mean for the new game though? Are we going to see them increase it even more, or scale it back? And if so, how far would they go?

In the current trailer, we see an Inkling from Splatoon as well as the silhouettes of at least 14 others, 13 of whom look like veterans of the Smash universe.

After watching many videos of people analyzing the footage and zooming my screen in the best I could, I've gone ahead and took a stab at who could be who.

My guesses include Pit, DK, Kirby, Marth, Mario, Link, Falco, Samus, Wii Fit Trainer, Bowser, Pikachu, Zelda, and Jigglypuff.

I'm a bit skeptical of some of my guess, namely Zelda, Falco, and the Wii Fit Trainer. I just can't think of anyone else who might fit the profiles and none of the other ideas I heard really hit home with me.

The blob that I have no idea about might be Yoshi? Or even two characters blobbed together? Ice Climbers, perhaps? I really have no idea and that makes me wonder all the more.

Anyway, that's only 15-ish charterers, which is far, far off of 58, or even 37. Who else can we expect to see in it?

Below are the top 5 characters who I hope make an appearance in the newest game.

1. Toad.

Why? Why had Toad not already been in a game yet? He's been a part of the Nintendo franchise just as long as Mario and Princess Peach. Sure, he may not look menacing... but neither does Kirby or Pikachu.

2. Luigi (Luigi's Mansion version).

I know, Luigi has been in the series since the beginning, but it's about time we see something different from him. Ever since Melee included Dr. Mario I thought it only fair that green Mario get a second version as well.

3. Birdo.

Birdo is just such a mysterious charterer. Clearly resembling Yoshi in a way, but also clearly different from Yoshi. I really feel they'd be an extremely strong opponent to go up against while also being fun and different.

4. Ai-Ai.

This little monkey is just so cute! I don't know how they would really fair in a game of combat... I guess they could throw balls at foes? Really, Super Monkey Ball was just such a huge part of my childhood that I want it to get all the fame and attention it desires.

5. Ash Ketchum.

I mean come on, it's Ash. Basically anything with Pokemon is going to sell well, putting him into the game would only be a smart move. It would also be interesting to see the playable Pokemon having to battle agsaint a trainer.
