I think people are expecting this "MASSIVE" reveal at TGAs for the final reveal for FP5...
And I'm over here wonder why history could repeat itself.
I'm not going to say that the character won't be Sora-levels of craziness, but
Tell me one time where Smash ended on a perceived 'high' note.
Brawl? Olimar
Smash 4? Shulk(Or was it Duck Hunt?)
Smash 4 DLC? CORRIN and Bayo
Ultimate? Kencineroar and a Plant
Smash has always frontloaded the reveals because, I mean that just makes sense from a marketing perspective. Why would you save "The best for last" if you're trying to sell a product?
I dunno if this DLC 5 is going to be this CRAZY HUGE character, but I'm not getting my hopes up for say, Master Chief levels of a character tbh.
Why would you save the worst for last too? You need to have a good beginning and a good ending. Your ending doesn’t need to be better then the beginning, but they need to be around the same level.
Plus, every reveal could potentially sell the fighters pass. For the base game? Absolutely your principle makes sense. Did Smash4’s DLC? There wasn’t a pass so all each character really needed to do was sell itself (and bayonetta was pretty big imo. Don’t get why people is saying she’s a dissapointed ending). But for this, I feel it’s necessary. Each time a character is revealed it could finally sell the fighters pass to someone, and having a smaller character at the end will not really push the pass. Because it’s all about making the bundle more attractive. It’s all about “I can get Joker AND Hero AND Banjo AND Terry AND fighter 5, for less then if I bought them on their own!?!” Not “I can get Hero and Joker with a few of these other guys”. One is gonna make more people buy it and the other is just... convenient for people who already want everything regardless of who it is.” You’ll always have the second group. That’s not who you’re selling to.
TLDR, having bigger characters at the beginning, middle, and end is just better marketing for a dlc pass.
Oh god, I saw the best worst Monkey's Paw scenario over on Reddit.

"Sinnoh Remakes happen."
"But it's Let's Go! Pachirisu and Buneary!"
