I wonder what kind of characters will be predominate in the DLC?
Smash 4 was predominantly vets and shocking third party characters ...and Corrin.
This time all the vets are covered. I wonder what type of trend will be take hold, if any.
I'm gonna speculate as to some of the possible categories or trends we could possibly see.
1) First Party Switch/ Recent first party characters. Such as Rex, Springman etc.
2) Japanese third parties; a trend seen in Smash 4 DLC. Perhaps we'll see the last major player Tecmo Koei get in Smash. Ninja Gaiden is one of the last legacy series from the arcade/ nes era so it's very similar to Mega Man, Street Fighter, Final Fantasy, Pac-Man, and Castlevania. Plus it would be neat to see Hyrule Warriors featured amomg the series diversity of the LoZ characters, which Impa could do. Maybe even a Sony owned IP like Kratos as a major shock.
3) Remaining Smash Ballot/ popular characters. Characters that are highly popular that may have just not have been able to reach the base roster deadline... Hypothetically characters such as Isaac or Geno.
4) Western Owned IP's, this would be ground breaking. This would likely be characters such as Rayman, Banjo, and Crash. The holy trinity of the west. Ubisoft, Microsoft, and Blizzard/ Activision respectively.
5) Sakurai revisiting old flames. Scrapped or folded ideas from previous installments. Such as the forbidden seven. We have Ditto now.
