If I were to make a prediction as to how ZSS will do, I'd say she'll pass up Kirby, Lucario, and ROB. The way those characters will end up ordered IMO will be:
ZSS
Lucario
ROB
Kirby
ROB has 2 hard counters and one soft counter, with solid matchups besides those.
Kirby has disadvtanges against a lot of characters in the high/top tier, including the increasingly popular ICs who counter Kirby.
Lucario has tough matchups against Marth DDD GaW (MK?) and Snake.
ZSS has her one terribad matchup in Falco (35-65), and after that Diddy is argued between 40-60 and 45-55, and then she has a couple 45-55s, which is definitely a better matchup spread then the three above characters.
I would argue that she is better matchup wise than GaW by a fairly large margin, which is why I think she should pass him up as well. However, I don't think the SBR is ready to make that move, so if we're making a -prediction- for where she'll be, 11th or 12th is a safe bet IMO, though she really should be 10th.
