Regardless of what happens with the DLC, Kamek should be added. he was going to be in the original and he was going to be in the base game of MK8. Which would have been great. They shouldn’t down him dirty like that.
Option A makes no sense as they already did a video showcasing all the tracks in this wave last week to go "Hey, new wave next week!" If it was gonna have more characters than just Birdo and her recolours, they'd have shown it off then instead of keeping it an extra special surprise, especially as it can be used as even more leverage to get NSO+ or the pass already. As for B, that relies on a seperate rumour entirely that isn't mentioned or even implied in the one about 10+ characters. Also, the 4chan post exists solely as an image oddly enough, usually people can find the thread a post is from in these situations but no such luck for a post that's supposedly merely a month old. Isn't it odd people only found it days ago and can only show pictures of it instead of where it came from?
The DLC and expansion pass are already selling nicely. Yeah it would make sense if they did showcase it, but Nintendo doesn’t always make sense. Another version of it could be they just drop the characters between waves.
Also rumor or not, when Nintendo edits graphics it’s usually for a reason.
Example, Fighters Pass 1 was edited near the end of it, and that’s how we knew more DLC was coming.
A more recent one is then altering the Pokémon stadium video to remove no gameboy comparability. Something that absolutely comes back at some point.
So yeah the graphics being updated is probably very important.
I also agreed and mentioned the same grip with this post earlier so I get your point there.
