While it's possible (like you said cautiously optimistic) I wouldn't rely on the blog updates count. They could just as easily slow down in November, or another idea I saw suggested is posts could be dedicated to elements of Spirit mode such as bosses.Between June and August we had 7 characters revealed, so unless reveals drop considerably as some have suggested, we may have 6-7 characters between September and November, one being Isabelle, who's already been revealed. This also aligns with the blog, at an average of 3 characters a week with 26 weeks, that's 7-8 characters that have yet to be revealed of the potential 78, though it should be noted this is probably a maximum--not a minimum. Judging by that, I could see a Pokemon being revealed either in or around a potential Pokemon Direct in October, as well as a standalone character reveal with potentially an echo (my guess is Isaac/Felix). That leaves around 3-4 being revealed in a November Smash Direct, including echoes. So it's not as crazy as some people think, but there's no denying it's an optimistic view. Cautiously optimistic.
I do have to say if we get any newcomer reveal in October not attached to a final Smash direct/50 fact/etc. then box theory is dead to me because there's no way we aren't getting another newcomer in the final direct. Yes I still lean toward box theory
