Then again, we've never gotten full teasers to hint characters, they just straight reveal them.
Probably.
True. There's the potential we could get another Hero and Banjo deal as well, especially since Nintendo goes fairly big with their beginning of the year Directs.
That's what they want you to think. This is how TOP SECRET can win.
I don't have much faith that any of the future content is going to be what I'm interested in seeing, but I've slightly higher hopes for FP5.
Yeah, Heroes of the Storm, which is essentially Blizzard's MOBA version of Smash, teases characters before they reveal them, and it's not particularly effective as more often than not it's pretty easy to tell who it is. Even if it's just something super vague you can usually figure out who it is just by the general theme of the tease and then by process of elimination.
I think we are getting at least 5 characters and like 10 at the most.
What situation?
You mean the 'Master of Teh Ken', Vin Diesel?
Vin Diesel is a totally cool gamer(tm), buy the New Fast and The Furious game coming in 2020!
It was our Super Smash reveal all along!
I was referring to the nuking of Sabi Discord.
only No 
. If you're kind you might get to play as 
vs. .s. of course.Honestly leaning towards 10 extra too, given the WoL slots. I won't count out the crazy possibility we might see 100 unique characters total (That might require an Ultimate DX Super Special edition though since that'd be an additional 15 characters on top of the 10 WoL slots Post-Pass).
Doesn't ring a bell.
we speaking like it's 2008 huh
We accept no
Althooouuugh, we did get a Banjo presentation the day he was shadowdropped.
okay b00mer.
What a coincidence! Cortez in TimeSplitters Future Perfect is based off of Riddick and he's a video game character! You can't tell me they look nothing alike!
Please save 'boomer' for the age group it belongs to; we don't need to turn into an empty insult. It needs to retain its power!
It's been noted that the game crashes if you try to add more past this point so, at most, there's 11 TBA characters but it's hard to say if Nintendo's crazy enough to do it. My own guess is 4 or 5 for a "Season 2" and then, if Nintendo takes the plunge, Season 3 announced next fall to wrap up by the third anniversary of the game.
I'm thinking based on Sakurai's comments of just little more that we are probably getting a few announcements on 2020 but have doubts about going forward. So maybe 3 or 4 at least?
For that reason, they cannot add more than ten post pass fighters, unless they fix that crash.
As someone who religiously played the original 2 DS games every chance I got as a kid, I can safely say that Scribblenauts' lighthearted paper cut-out artstyle and tone would lend itself well to Smash, and that Maxwell would undoubtedly be the most unique third-party addition to the roster thus far. His moveset potential is essentially limitless due to the nature of his magic notebook, and there are so many different ways his fighting style could function mechanically.Anyway, how about something we’ve hardly talked about? How about Maxwell from Scribblenauts as a character!

Scribblenauts, also known as Flash Puzzle: Maxwell's Mysterious Notebook in Japan, first got it's start as an exclusive on the Nintendo DS in 2009. The series is owned by Warner Bros. Games and has sold over 13 million copies in its lifetime.
In Scribblenauts, you play as Maxwell, a young boy with a magical notebook that can summon anything, and I mean ANYTHING!* Not only that he can use his Notebook to modify things by placing an adjective upon them. The goal of Scribblenauts is help people with their problems out by summoning objects or modifying objects to solve. It's up to the player to decide how they want to solve problems. For example if a cat is stuck in a tree, you could summon a chainsaw to cut down the tree, or give yourself wings to fly up and rescue the cat, summon a firefighter to do the job for you, the possibilities for your solution is endless. *obviously no inappropriate stuff
Here's an example of Maxwell's problem solving from the tie comic for his crossover game with the DC universe.
Scribblenauts is all about finding wacky, creative, and imaginative ways to solving problems, and as a fighter in Smash Maxwell could reflect that. Sure anybody can use a sword or a gun, and Maxwell can certainly use them, but wheres the fun in that! Dropping an anvil on your head is something only a few characters could do and would convey the cartoony and childlike imagination of Maxwell. I have yet to complete my Maxwell move set, but will probably post it another time.
Plus Maxwell could have his sister Lily as an alt costume, she has the same abilities as Maxwell and could easily share animations
I've heard that Namco are the masters of compressing but, honestly, do we need more than 11? We're quickly reaching that point where almost all the long time favorites are in.
Once Isaac and Geno are in, maybe Shantae, then we're done with long time requests and anything else is gravy.
