First of all, not new, it's an enhanced port of the WiiU and 3DS versions, neither of which got as much love as they could have due to poor console sales and subpar hardware, respectively.
Secondly, what exactly is pissing you off? If you don't like the genre or concept then you've had a few years now to hate the idea and get over it.

I want to talk about my expectations for smash. Let's begin with the obvious thing. There will be new characters (probably about 10-15 given the pattern Nintendo has been following.) Any of these characters would be good.
Mario & its sub-franchises
I don't really care too much about these but they'd be nice to see.
--Waluigi
--King K. Rool
--Ashley
Additionally I don't feel that having Mario & Dr. Mario in the roster is worth it. I feel that they could be combined into one spot like Olimar & Alph
[close]
The Legend of Zelda
So i want to see one new character and it would be cool if it were any one of these.
--Midna
--Skull Kid
--Impa
--Ghirahim
--Linkle
--Lana
--Darknut
--Hilda
--Toon Zelda/Tetra
Additionally I would like to see Link's moveset to be updated to reflect Breath of the Wild as well as Ganondorf's moveset to better reflect Hyrule Warriors rather than having him be a clone of Captain Falcon.
[close]
Fire Emblem
Yeah so I only have one character for Fire Emblem.
--Chrom
Also Marth and Lucina don't need to be two separate characters. They could be combined into one character slot like Olimar & Alph.
[close]
Pokemon
Any of these would be cool.
--Blaziken
--Blastoise
--Decidueye
--Gardevoir
[close]
Xenoblade Chronicles
--Rex & Pyra
[close]
Square Enix properties
--Crono
--Tifa
--Sephiroth
--Lightning
--Cecil
--Rydia
--Sora
--Kairi
[close]
Star Fox
--Krystal
--Slippy
[close]
Sonic
--Shadow
--Silver
--Tails
--Knuckles
--Amy
[close]
Kirby
--Bandanna Waddle Dee
[close]
Kid Icarus
--Magnus
--Viridi
--Medusa
--Hades
Pit and Dark Pit should be combined into one character slot like Olimar & Alph.
[close]
Metroid
--Ridley
--Dark Samus
[close]
Other
--Isaac (Golden Sun)
--Sammy (Advance Wars)
--a Fossil Fighters character (preferably not from Frontier)
--Takamaru
--Banjo & Kazooie
--any returning character that was taken out
--Ashley (Another Code/Trace Memory) (idfk)
--Jeanne (Bayonetta)
--Lloyd (Tales)
--Chibi Robo (Chibi Robo)
--Bomberman (Bomberman)
--Amaterasu (Okami)
--Nintendog (Nintendog)
--Crash Bandicoot (Crash Bandicoot)
--a Monster Hunter character
[close]
I honestly don't expect most of these but i'll get excited about any of them if they're revealed.
I'd also like to see the return of the Coin Launcher because Trophy Rush kinda sucked. I'd also love to see something like the Subspace Emissary. Also I'd love for All-Star to be divided into rounds based on franchise like it was in Brawl.

I'd like to hear you gys' thoughts.

I'm expecting a roster size about halfway between Melee and Brawl, featuring a starting roster of far more current characters (I think that's why Pit is in the teaser). Sm4sh was a huge game and I loved it, but the series is teetering dangerously close to becoming bloated and overstuffed. Plus a lot of the character movesets are outdated, and with a new game in the series featuring, at the very least, the newest design of Link, I'd be very surprised and disappointed if Sakurai didn't want to completely overhaul several of the characters.

Also, in terms of announcing new fighters, I get the feeling each new challenger will have a trailer similar to the Splatoon one, with them doing their own thing before suddenly becoming aware of the Smash logo somewhere nearby. At the same time, the shadows will strategically fall on less and less characters, revealing more of the starting roster. Also, I hope the entire roster isn't revealed before the game comes out. It's a lot more fun to stumble across an incredible character that you had no idea was in the game.

I'd love having a large roster. I'm just really tired of clones.

I think SS impa would be a great choice.  Zelda needs another character

Also, with the localization of Mother and its general popularity I could see them adding another character from the series, hopefully Jeff.

I feel like Sonic characters would always be clones so I'm opposed to additions there.  Ice Climbers coming back could be nice too, since they can't lean on the "3DS is weaksauce" argument.  I think Shovel Knight and Shantae have both been successful enough to deserve slots in 5mash as well.
