Cymbal, Drum, Sergeant Metallic, Murasaki are much more likely than characters such as Kid Chichi, Ranfan, King chapa honestly.

The only ones I feel are more unlikely from DB are the exclusive characters from the first anime filler and the first two movies, like Lucifer, Gurumes and their soldiers. Shula, Hyoga Tenlon, Annin, etc. Seeing them would be an even bigger surprise than Z Movie 4 SSJ personally.

I think this is more realistic, and I'll add Ssj3 Kid Goku (Daima) and the fused fat guy Gotenks fought in the Tarble special.

Surprised since there would be like 45 characters added :P

I'd settle for Kid Kuririn, Tambourine, King Chappa, Kami and Ohzaru; then Appule and Olibu from Z; Goten, Gohan, baby Bebi, Rildo and the Ice dragon; Vados, Magetta, Botamo and 1st Frost; #14 and #15, Dore, Neiz, Hatchyak.

At first, I really wanted the Tamagamis, but by now I don't really care... Daima's flame went out.

We know that the other Shadow Dragons were plan in the base game, but got cut. So I can see them being added.

I also wouldn't mind bringing back the other Oozaru Forms, like we had in BT3. Of course it'll be unlikely, but I think it would be nice. Especially when each is made a little more unique and not just a Gokuu Reskin with Battle Armor.

I updated a future DLC big pack for Sparking Zero list. List of characters found in the data mining and choices that I think are possible.

Even I think that having ALL the Shadow Dragons would be overkill. The final three are plenty. I'd much rather see Redgic, Rild, and Baby filling out the villains side of the GT roster.

That should be it when it comes to major characters.
I would be happy to see Olivue just for battle lines but he has no moves so it would just be the generic stuff. Aqua would be the more intriguing option.

I do expect this game to go on for awhile and still be supported so I wonder what they will try to uphold as pack sellers going forward.

I don't think we'll get Ruudo, but he would be a great addition to the kaijus.

The Baby forms I can live without, the same goes for the 4 Shadow Dragons, but Rildo and Redjic I seriously need.

What GT also needs is stages. The Tsufuru planet, M2 (it kinda looks like the city ruins -daylight, but not quite) and perhaps a sky variant for City Ruins, or Goku's house (not Mt. Paozu). Maybe some cool planet from the first arc, too, but I guess I'm daydreaming with anything besides the Tsufuru planet or Goku's house (which already is part of the main screen)

I like to see what interactions that they would have. The second star shadow dragon with Tao Pai Pai would be neat.

That's already what happens to most characters, why draw the line at the Shadow Dragons

I think Goku Jr and Vegeta Jr would be fun, but I don't think enough people would care about them.

They'd be very unique so I'd play with them more than once.

Thing is that they would be cheaper to create as they could use other models as a base.
Judging by the roster size already, I don't really see a "proper" sequel coming for quite a while, instead going the Xenoverse route. Let them mine the obscure characters.
