Echoes are same franchise. Also, it's going to be an echo of Palutena, Pac-man, Robin, Shulk, Bowser Jr., Duck Hunt, Ryu, or Cloud

No thanks, given that he's been in every game so far.
I must say on the Incineroar chat, I'd be quite happy for no more Pokemon to grace Smash Brothers for the time being - Pichu, Pikachu, Charizard, Ivysaur, Squirtle, Mewtwo, Lucario, Greninja, Jigglypuff is more than enough for me.
Same with Fire Emblem, there are plenty of them.

What would be the echo from duck hunt? A clay pigeon?

My guess a character a month, then a load in the inevitable Smash Direct.
I recon 8-10 more characters but most of them will be echoes.
At this point, I think the final 2 characters are Ken and Incineroar but what they will do is fully roadmap their DLC plans in the inevitable November Smash Direct.
I think it’ll be a season pass and they’ll confirm some of the characters they’re working on, which will include Springman + echo and Rex + Pyra (because their games were released too late in the development cycle to get in the main game) and some third party reps. I don’t think they’ll reveal everything but enough to lessen the blow of how underwhelming a final reveal of Ken/Incineroar would be-which let’s be fair, it would be, after the announcements they’ve had so far.

Brawl was the time it needed to happen I think. F-Zero GX wasn’t that long ago when they made Brawl. Now it’s a series without a new entry in 15 years and there’s no particularly iconic character to select anyway.
I think Earthbound benefits from bias from Sakurai because he likes those games and there is obviously the Hal connection.
Plus the newcomers this time round seem to be much more driven by popularity in the fan base, influenced by the ballot no doubt. I think there are a lot of characters higher up in the list than a new F-Zero rep.
Tl;dr: Nintendo make us a new F-Zero

You are of course correct that Brawl was the right place for Black Shadow, and I know the reason for no follow up F-Zero games is down to the fact that sales of GX weren’t as high as anticipated. But then again it was on one of Nintendo’s lowest selling consoles - you’d think they would’ve tested the water with a new one on the Wii or Wii U already.
