If we give the most charitable reasoning possible, because they didn't want to be seen as Trolling and including Sans would have had everyone dismiss it.
No, I understand the 'why'. I'm asking 'why does it matter.How?
You do realize that other third-party games have gotten their own dedicated Nintendo Directs in the past, right? Dragon Quest, Phoenix Wright, The Wonderful 101, Yo-Kai Watch, Bayonetta, Culdcept, and Dragalia Lost have all gotten their own Directs. Also, this isn't even the first Monster Hunter dedicated Direct, they had dedicated Directs for MH4, MH4G and MHXX. Monster Hunter getting a dedicated Direct doesn't mean anything for a Monster Hunter character's chances for Smash whatsoever.
Well that, as well as the Shiek section, requires a bit of explaination. @Polarthief you may want to add this context to the list.
During Smash 4, people discovered that Little Mac and Bayonetta were built using Captain Falcon and Zero Suit Samus as a base:
Fast forward some time, and people begin noticing that Mii Swordfighter and Duck Hunt are causing All-Star Smash to get all ****y. It's then hypothesized that that the reason it was only happening after Joker's inclusion was because these two characters were used as the basis for future DLC. Both Hero and Banjo, who were revealed at E3, both had very similar designs to both of these characters:
- Little Mac's ladder animation had him end up transitioning into Captain Falcon's idle pose when he reached the top.
- Duplicate data for Zero Suit Samus was found long before Bayonetta was added and disappeared upon her inclusion.
- There's also the oddity of Ridley having unused animations for gliding, which was removed in Smash 4, despite being a brand new fighter. It's believed that this is a leftover from Charizard, who not only also has unused gliding animations left over from when he could glide in Brawl, but has a very similar build to Ridley.
So going forward, people have begun to keep an eye out for other weird glitches and oddities reagrding characters, as they may be indicative of that character being used as the basis for another future character.
- Hero is a swordfighter who uses a lot of projectiles, and Mii Swordfighter has a good number of projectiles.
- Banjo & Kazooie are two characters who fight as one, with one being a bear and the other a bird. Duck Hunt is a dead ringer for the duo (especially with their 8th alt), to the point of being referenced in Banjo & Kazooie's Classic Mode route.
... I know this sounds weird and farfetched, but what are you gonna do, eh?
Sure, that would be a believable enough excuse, but it goes a bit further than that: To this day SquareEnix is the only company in Smash history (including Nintendo themselves) to have their own segregated Mii Costume wave not once, but twice.
From what I've heard, that kind of mix-up isn't actually his fault, rather that's actually how the info was revealed to him. All he got were names, and he went ahead and assumed what they were for. Remember when Vergeben was admant on Minecraft content coming to the game? Well as it turned out, the info was misinterpreted. The Ender Dragon was actually Rathalos, whose internal name was "End_Dragon", and the Minecraft Spirit he was told about was actually the pig from Cubivore. Insider information sometimes gets confused and assumptions are made. I agree it sucks, but it's not entirely unique to Mii Costume Guy.
Putting aside my disagreement with the sentiment that Rocket Grunt and Goemon costumes were an easy guess, I don't think we've ever had a Spirit Event that came with new Spirits. It's either been a themed event with existing Spirits or a collection of exclusively new Spirits. Also, I find it very unlikely that Mii Costume Guy's list had entirely Costumes but then also had two names for a Spirit event that simply never materialized despite two of those Spirits already being in the game. I mean, what would be the point of even having a Spirit event where most of the Spirits were old but there's only one new one? That seems like a complete waste of time.
That's the theory, but there's been nothing official said on the matter. They just took it all down for no readily explained reason.
Since this isn't a video game, I'm leaning on this being a one in a blue moon thing. Remember when Nintendo bought the copyright for Super Hornio Brothers so nobody could make porn parodies using the name?
Well, what character do you have in mind? Depending on who it is, I might just be willing to make that myself.
Stu, what are you doing?
I wrote my opinon about why MH is likely in this post.
It is astounding how dedicated people are to Geno getting in Smash.
The solution is to just escape this thread for a while, but it won't be easy.
I'm just going to pick at this point.
So? How does that affect Geno's chances one way or the other?
That's actually worse because it implies a greater degree of insider separation than I thought. The further away from the prime source you get, the more insider info becomes a game of deception telephone, which increases the chances of leakbait.
Lotus.
Isn't this false and one of the developers said they were afraid of a takedown while a discord leak or whatever specifically said because someone in it was getting into Ultimate? Because one person is clearly lying in that case, and lying about the former makes no sense because there's nothing stopping someone from revealing they signed an NDA if that indeed happened, leading me to believe the much more likely possibility of the other developer messing with Geno/Waluigi fans.
Why her? I am curious.
Imagine if we get another "Sakurai pick" (akin to Joker and Terry) but its Kat from Gravity Rush.
All 12 Gravity Rush fans seen cheering. For real though Kat looked hella fun in PSABR when I last saw her gameplay like 6 years ago and she's a pretty cool character. Certainly wouldn't complain if she made it in

Okay, I doubt that.
She was pretty fun in that game...though she was the equivalent to pre-patch SSB4 Bayonetta and Brawl Meta Knight.
I thought he said it was easy negotiating with Microsoft, just that the language barrier was an inconvenience.
I thought it was said Microsoft was easy to negotiate
Oh, I may be stupid.
Lol no. At least Kat is a video game character.
You say that like it's a bad thing: you just sold me on her in Smash!
You can say the same thing about Villager though & arguably other nameless player characters like Hero. Steve wouldn’t be in Smash to represent Steve, he’d be in to represent Minecraft & all of the amazing memories associated with it.
You can customize your villager though, so at least that sandbox game has the ability to customize your own avatar; not to mention you play in 3rd person so you see your Villager doing all the customizing. The game's characters speak to, and interact with, your Villager as well; speaking directly to them. As for Hero, even though Erdrick is a silent protagonist, the game is still a story that revolves around them (and the rest of the cast) so they feel involved; you see them interacting and speaking with the world around them and said world speaks and interacts with them in return.
The others costumes where released in September 2019. Everything that happenned in 2020 have no effect on the fact that Mallow and Smithy are not there, so the leak is fake.
How is she a Sakurai pick? I don't recall Sakurai talking about Gravity rush.

Not really, that was people acting stupid more than anything. The DMC date was always meant for DMC3 Switch updates, they said so from the beginning. People thinking it meant Smash proves how some folks really think everything is tied to Smash. Or just people who don't know how to read lol
Yeah, I don't know why we don't have something like this in Smash.That's partly why I'm pushing Lyn so hard as she could be the perfect Vergil surrogate, especially if they use her for a Dante trailer in the future.
There's just so many ways you could really do an iaido characters that it's a wonder we haven't gotten one yet.
Stance attacks, hold attacks, form-changes, shadow-copies, wind-cutting, even the classic visual flair of a slash not registering until the swordsman puts the sword back in the sheath. it's all so very cool, but completely absent in Smash.
Until then, we have ****-posts.
Anyway, I think it goes without saying how much I like Vergil.
I mean, this is normal. Not everyone has played Super Mario RPG either. I didn't, for example, and while I probably will at some point, I'm not in a hurry to do it, to be honest.
I'd love to see Kat in anything. She's great. But no way she would get in before other Sony characters, and that's assuming a Sony character would be a likely option at all...
There’s way more enemies in Minecraft than just the Creeper. There’s also friendly AI through the animals & villagers, that you can trade with.
And that's where skins and further customization within Minecraft comes into play. Nintendo even highlighted this:
People kept making Bill Cipher a white anime twink when his humansona was a dark-skinned anime girl instead. Damn
An issue is that a surprising amount of people think that's asking too much despite how easy it is to do so, which is a shame because hey, you might end up finding a new favourite game along the line if you're open to suggestions
In fairness, both yesterday and today are Japanese holidays. If we don't get anything prominent by the end of tomorrow I'd say you're right though.
