I'm voting for Byrne this round. I have good reason though. Let's think about Demise for a second. Sure he's more popular than Byrne being hot-off-the-heels of a new game, but Byrne has a better moveset. He could have quite diverse moves based on his plasma-shooting claw, which is more than Demise could say. Also lets think about something.....If they put in Demise, who do think they will cut? Yes....I mean Ganondorf. Think about it. Demise was meant to fill Ganondorf's role in Skyward Sword, and he looks quite like him. In theory, due to Demise's curse, one could make an arguement that Ganondorf IS Demise. Let's think from a move-set standpoint. Final Smashes. Ganondorf becomes the large Beast Ganon. One can assume that Demise becomes the monsterous imprisoned. Yes, Demise would focus on Sword play, but with an update, so could Ganondorf. (Does anyone else remember that epic duel at the end of Twilight Princess?)

All I'm saying is it's likely that it would be Demise OR Ganondorf. Just my cautionary tale for you to think about as you cast your vote............................
