Outside of japan yes its more niche, still somewhat a niche in Japan though. ZUN allows the fans freedom to create numerous fan works, whereas bigger name companies would try to shut that down. This amount of freedom is mainly how it became popular in the first place. There has been a large fan base in western countries but you have to know where to look to find them. In the past it was difficult to find the games if you lived in western countries, but ZUN still allowed people to upload the games onto the internet for people to download if you lived in the west.
I'd be super surprised, but I don't think I'd mind either way. The only reason I'm hoping we get one is because that's what will define whether I buy the Fighter Pass (If it's anyone that isn't Steve that means I'm safe, but I don't want to buy it and end up paying for him)
It's hella fake.
So far, we had two sources that there will be a 2nd Fighters Pass DLC.
This picture originally came from Banjo and Kazooie support thread but in my opinion, it is most likely misinformation that was actually supposed to be for Steve (Minecraft) being one of the candidates for the 2nd fighters pass, another reason is because I am one of the people who believe that Duck Hunt Century smash save SD card corruption glitch has possible leftovers when Duck Hunt is used as a base for Banjo.
Just in case if the image is broken for you
There was another earlier rumor that the 2nd fighters pass may have ATs becoming fighters, if one or more new Golden Sun games are in the works, Isaac will join in the 2nd fighters pass as a playable.
Only reason I think a second pass could be a thing is because it wouldn't make sense to just stop a year into the game's life and 3 years into the Switch's life (a system Nintendo wants to last for 7-10 years), especially with the Switch being a huge success and Ultimate being the best selling fighting game of all time (unless you count both Smash 4 versions and all the Street fighter 2 versions as one game). Sure, Smash 4 only had a year's worth of DLC, but the DLC season for that game ended a year before the Wii U (which was pretty much a commercial failure) was discontinued and the Switch came out.
All good things come to an end. Especially when the development team gets smaller and smaller with each released DLC.
First pic mentions IF remarked in uppercase as its something not set in stone, so I wouldn't count it as a sure thing. Plus regarding the AT, your pic says they are remaining as AT.So far, we had two sources that there will be a 2nd Fighters Pass DLC.

The more fighters you add, the more you need to work on issues like balance. Plus teams move to other projects.
Maxwell is one of my most wanted characters that I know won’t make it in.
We really out here trusting IGC (indiegamerchick)? A person who only really seems to know about indie games and not much else? Cause if so then where's the N64 mini?So far, we had two sources that there will be a 2nd Fighters Pass DLC.

I personally don't have much reason to trust her either. She's closer to Microsoft than any other company as an indie game collection compiler of some sort, but even so, I wouldn't put too much water into what she says. Sabi trusts her to an extent, but then again (as much as I think Sabi's a pretty cool gal), she also trusted Xenother, who's since been deemed a total fraud. Not something I'd bank my chips on, really.
Honestly, I think the best of both worlds scenario would be to have Banjo come with a Minecraft stage that's randomly assembled from pre-made chunks, kinda like Mario Maker.
I agree. A Minecraft stage like that would be really cool to see. Including music from both Banjo and Minecraft
Yeah, there's a whole bevy of possible Western companies - enough for a theoretical "Western Pass" without MS - which is the big reason I don't think Microsoft's guarenteed:
As for that I'm of the opinion that it's too early to tell. Not only because we haven't even seen the 2nd out of the 5 characters - but also since Sakurai can decide between "I want to make a 2nd / 3rd Fighter Pass" or "I really don't want to make a 2nd / 3rd Fighter Pass". I'm not sure where to lean since Sakurai's a massive workhorse and relishes in working, but also enjoys his time off as per his statements.
Working on more DLC would be the perfect compromise, since it's much less work than a whole game.
Yeah, you know, I know, we all know that Japan's work force culture is nuts. If Sakurai doesn't work on DLC, he'll probably have to work on a new game, and that landed him with an IV drip at his office. DLC is probably the best scenario behind a total break, the latter of which probably isn't possible.
The thought of an exploding character that chases players around intrigues and terrifies me.
throw in a wildcard out there and put Devolver Digital on that list too since they've ported a bunch of games to the Switch. A great amount of games from them could fit the ideal Indie Game rep as much as Shovel Knight or Shantae would.
Nintendo's not above working with Universal (the Mario movie via Illumination* / Mario theme park) nor Warner Bros. (distribution of The Detective Pikachu film** / MK11 coming to the Switch) so I could see either or both of Scorpion and Sora getting in. Now, it should be noted that Smash's a different beast than other commitments, so I think your concern is warranted. As for how little Warner Bros. is talked about, I suspect that it's due to any noticeable overlap between MK and other WB stuff being contained to the Injustice guest appearances. Sora's case is a bit different when Donald and Goofy are his travel buddies for his three main games. Sora can work without any Disney elements yes (Edit: Changed my mind on that, can't recall who pointed it out to me though), but the Disney stuff is more tightly connected to Sora than any other WB stuff is connected to Scorpion.
I'm sure a character from Touhou could be unique based on what I've seen, but Steve could be unique by using blocks or any of the unique items from Minecraft; there's lot's of things he could do. Not that it matters, because they're completely unrelated to each other.
I don't think that's likely.
What's next? Devil May cry?
Yeah. A whole bunch of characters can fit the name and the stats.
I'll say it again: They could've just picked a word that starts with the second letter of the alphabet to match the second FP character.
Makes me wonder if they'd intend to be all smart with a codename, but still somehow mess up by having the data discoverable through extreme datamining, to then remove it after word got out.
Crackpot theory: What if "brave" is a reference to the fighter, but not via definition? What if the important part of it is what the word "brave" is - an adjective-. Brave is Maxwell.
It doesn't help our codenames for other stuff is all over the place. So it's kind of hard to tell what they're going for with zero consistency otherwise.
P5 characters codenames in the Smash game files are the same as in P5 (i.e. Anne = Panther, Ryuju = Skull, etc). Really the only ones with different codenames are Joker and Arsene.
Yeah, and the only reasons people are connecting it to Erdrick tends to be a combination of noticing how the Japanese word for Brave is also the Japanese word for Hero (default DQ protag name) and because people still believe Vergeben's word regarding DLC
Then that sounds like it's pretty much still name-based.
