Personally I believe SSB6 will be confirmed shorthly after whenever the new Nintendo console gets announced, and, unless Nintendo just gets even more ambitious, I expect the roster size to be cut down. At the very least I can see it having 60+ fighters, including DLC.
And Sakurai should try once again talking with Nintendo about letting someone else take the wheels for SSB6, only serving as an advisor.
