Wait... ****... no no no nonono! Why does it say over 40?! That's pretty much 100% meaning there is LESS THAN 50 characters.
There were 48 characters shown on the leak picture... does that mean there's only ONE MORE, for a total of 49 only?! Oh please don't let that be true, but I don't see a way around it now... Perhaps the trophy theory and the Fi trophy (and skyward theme music) wasn't pointing to Impa after all, which I had previously changed my opinion to after seeing Ghirahim wasn't playable, but I think now it was pointing to Ghirahim after all (no spoilers but Ghirahim makes much more sense than Impa for the Fi trophy hint) even though he's just an AT and not a playable. And the metroid trophy with Ridley music only pointed at Ridley being a boss not a playable. NOO!!! Someone please save me, is there anything?! This time I'm at a dead end and I really can't think of anything...
Who's the last character left? Mewtwo? Dixie (even if a clone? though tbh I don't think she really needs to be included)?
I refuse to believe this because Sakurai has been teasing Ridley for a very long time and never disconfirmed him and he surely knows lots of people want Ridley. He even spent PotDs spending time to explain that size in smash isn't true to lore and that anything can work in smash. And then there's the Meta... Knight PotD. He also dislikes fake hype, so... what's the answer? I can't think of one right now
