Some people have been theorizing about veteran DLC for Smash 4 because of Mewtwo returning. I've decided to post my thoughts on that, starting with cut Melee veterans.
YOUNG LINK

We've got a problem already: Toon Link has successfully imported his gameplay. Really the only difference is Young Link's fire arrows, and the fire particles were merely cosmetic. To me Young Link's only chance is to be an alt for Toon Link, and even then Toon Link needs an Outset alt before getting a Young Link alt.
ROY

Some say Lucina renders Roy unnecessary because they're both Marth clones without sweetspots at the tips of their swords. But that's Lucina and Roy's only similarity. Lucina has no sweetspots whatsoever, while Roy does have sweetspots between the center of his sword's blade and the hilt.
The fact that there's already a playable character called Roy might be a problem. But I know how to fix this: Call the Roy that's currently playable by his full name, Roy Koopa.
PICHU

Think about this: He could suck less, there's no gen 2 rep, and his inclusion could help balance out the cute/badass Pokemon ratio in Smash 4. And besides, Jigglypuff was meant to be a joke too, but her status as a joke disappeared when people discovered she had some good moves in Melee. So, why not give Pichu an extra buff to help him? Like Lucario's mechanic that enhances the damage and knockback he deals depending on how damaged he is.
ICE CLIMBERS

We all know why they're gone: The devs had a hard time getting this cute duo to work on the 3DS. Their only chance is if the devs find a way to make Nana's AI work. Perhaps it could be more simplified, like making Nana not able to grab fighters and pick up items?
That's all for today.
