Given Nintendo's obsession with making us wait as of late...no I don't. I can't really blame Nintendo too much as I'm sure sticking to release dates might not be possible due to the worldwide craziness so it is smarter for them to reveal things closer to release in that aspect. I could certainly be wrong tho. Just my opinion.
That's really a good question... It's all but confirmed now that 7 and 8 were supposed to be our E3 reveals so does that mean they'll be revealed together or will 8 be our September reveal. Somethings to consider:
I've speculated for a while that 8 would be the September reveal, so not much has changed on that point. Still, FP7 should be revealed before too long I would hope
This is how I feel as well. It would be incredible to see 7 and 8 reveal around the same time ESPECIALLY if its Geno AND Waluigi. I am banking on 7 being revealed alone then 8 is down the line.
Would be nice, but I'm not holding my breath. Whether it was or wasn't due to Covid, there was a delay on their end, so I'm not expecting them to reveal a third of Vol. 2 in a single presentation. I think the earliest we could be getting the next character reveal is early July, but even then I'm skeptical they'd do that. I feel that we're likely going to have to wait until September for the next fighter to be revealed.
LOL Hell, after the ARMS half-reveal back in April, we can't even guarantee the next one will be a "single".

"The next fighter coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will be... a character from Super Mario RPG!"
Well, at least the upside is that I'm pretty sure we'll know who we're getting if they announce that the next character is from Super Mario RPG. I could see it now....
We shall see if anything comes of it in the next few weeks
Toadofsky gang rise up!!!
At that point, I would want both Geno and Mallow playable
AFAIK that person isn't really super reliable. They've said something around the start of June stating that we'd get a big announcement that week, and the biggest thing we got was Nintendo posting a Origami King picture. Then the next week they said that we'll get another big announcement, and we got a Origami King trailer; they said that Origami King wasn't the announcement (that was the 6/12 leak).
I thought Mallow was a black mage and Geno was the red mage since Geno could be used for either built for physical or magic.
While Red Mage's in final fantasy can use physical attacks, they're generally more well known for combining offensive magics and healing/support magic, Black Mages are purely offensive powerhouses while White Mages focus entirely on support with one good offensive spell in Holy.
I do hope Mallow gets some sort of expanded upon role beyond spirit as a result of DLC, but I would rather Geno be the character.
But wait, if that's true along with Papa Genos' info that FP7 will be a 3rd party, then what Mario character could also be simultaneously 3rd party...
'Red Mages are Disc 1 Nukes, destroying difficulty early game and freeing up class options since you don't need a specialist White Mage or Black Mage on the team. Then they become laughably bad after they stop learning spells past the -ra levels and people only stick with them in order to level max the job to unlock dualcast.'
Well yeah, that's them in FFV and a good description of the basic concept of the Class. They get worse Late Game Magic in return they can do a bit of everything. This goes backs to the D&D roots of FF1, where the Red Mage was based off the Bard, letting them use offensive magic, heal, and wear medium armor and weapons. Black Mages meanwhile are the best offensive Mages in general outside of Perhaps Summoners in later ones, They are Offensive powerhouses in return for not being tanky or offering a lot of support.
Red Mages were invaluable in the original FFI where magic was like gold and they had an option to physical attack, until the other mages.
Guess Ninja ould probably be the best class if we were apply traditional roles to him. Still think Red Mage fits for Mallow though, mostly because he fills a similar Niche early game as other red mages, but you could say he transitions into a black mage as it goes on.
That's interesting to know. Assuming CURE means support spell in any way, doesn't that technically make moves like Geno Boost a Cure type spell though?
I’m sorry but you don’t speak for everyone when you say “the fanbase is appeased”. They ended a pass I paid for with Byleth and I was not pleased by that. They are now beginning the new pass with another character I find underwhelming so they don’t have my FP2 money yet and I am not appeased.
Best case scenario, though highly unlikely, would be if we got him as a new surprise AT. Otherwise, I could see him as part of Geno's final smash or maybe a victory screen. (and as a costume, of course)
Well hey, if you paid for the pass, you effectively got Byleth for free.
Min Min's basically did.
Thats fine if you aren't personally appeased, but I'm just drawing a conclusion about the larger fanbase not individual cases.
But is it a consistent pattern? Like did Sonic/Bayo get restocked when Joker came out or did Cloud get restocked with Hero's original release, what about Fire Emblem characters with Byleth? I feel like just equating a first party Smash Amiibo to a Smash character is the wrong way of looking at things, especially when the majority of the cast is still first party so the chances of a 1st party amiibo being restocked is still far higher than a 3rd party amiibo.Min Min's basically did.

It very heavily implied 6 would be first party and that theory was perfectly bullseyed. I don't know about the others because I don't know what characters restocked with specific waves.
Yup, but usually implies different levels of healing spells (Cure, Cura, Curaga, Curaja). Healing is the most vanilla of support abilities, unlike say Geno's support skills that are completely combat focus.
If Sakurai did that with Tales, the boards would become nothing but a Lloyd vs Yuri warzone for months (and maybe the occansional Velvet supporter popping off)
