what's that rule?
With Ultimate being nominated as GotY, I suppose a potential win could be followed by whoever closes the DLC?
I'm also surprised to see Death Stranding there given how polarizing it turned out to be, and I sure as hell laughed seeing Jump Force nominated as fighting game of the year lol.
It's that each company that already has Mii costumes will get 6 Mii costumes in the DLC lineup or more specifically Namco, Square-Enix, and Capcom since they have missing costumes from Smash 4.
Square-Enix currently has the 4 Dragon Quest costumes, so Geno and Chocobo are missing.
Capcom has Zero and Proto Man back while Monster Hunter, Rathalos armor, Mega Man EXE, and Guile are still missing.
Namco-Bandai is missing all of their costumes in Heihaichi, Lloyd Irving, and Gil so that leaves 3 new Namco Mii costumes if this theory is true.
So adding in the missing costumes excluding Namco-Bandai would make 6 costumes in total for each company.

from the Geno thread, who is a Smashboards boomer who is in Sabi's private discord has said this theory lines up really well with their names that they have heard in their circle which means it's highly likely we are getting another Namco-Bandai rep, Square-Enix rep, and Capcom rep.
