It was just recently Announced that BOTH Tournament Events and Spirit Events will be coming to an End on November 19th. Meaning that from that point on there will just be Re-runs of the Older Ones.
Soo..Yeah,If that doesn’t scream “We aren’t adding anything else to this Game” I dunno what else would tbh.
This also Highly Likely does indeed Mean Waluigi isn’t a Bonus Fighter or anything like that.
Still,I’m Rather Curious Why that URL Page on Nintendo’s Site remains the way that It has been ever since Pyra/Mythra’s Reveal and Release..
I’ve had the Idea that maybe it’ll be a Surprise Remix of Lifelight or something that You can only Download IF You have both the Fighters Passes on Your Nintendo Switch System.
If not that then..I dunno,Maybe the Desk from Smash 64 will become an Additional Stage like Small Battlefield,Only you have to Download It.
I put together a short video essay script on why Wario and Waluigi are better than Mario and Luigi based purely on strengths and stats.
I haven't gotten much chance to edit it together from being so busy with other video passion projects and just being busy. Hope I can find an opportunity to get it together.

Smash Ultimate is definitely over, but it's not over for Waluigi to join the next game.
It's highly likely we'll have a new Smash game for the next Nintendo system after Switch, maybe around 2023-2024.
It would mostly likely be an expanded version of Ultimate.
After all, Sakurai did say recently it would be impossible to top Smash Ultimate. He also said it won't be worth it to cut a substantial number of characters just to release the next game, or something along those lines.
Doing that would easily butcher the series, and alienate a lot of fans.
I think Sakurai and Nintendo will play it safe, and do Smash Ultimate Deluxe, rather than start over with a new game.
It will have extra fighters and stages, extra modes, quality of life improvements, etc.
It would be a first for the series, but I think most people will understand, it would be for the best.
Here's my prediction for the newcomers:
1- Waluigi
Assist Trophy (Brawl, Smash 4, Ultimate)
Mii Headgear
Novice Support Spirit
Advanced Primary Spirit
Ace Primary Spirit
1 Music track (Waluigi Pinball)
2- Dixie Kong
Mii Headgear
Ace Primary Spirit
Legendary Primary Spirit
1 Music track (Stickerbush Symphony)
3- Wolf Link and Midna
Assist Trophy (Smash 4, Ultimate)
Ace Primary Spirit
Legendary Primary Spirit
1 Music track (Midna's Lament)
4- Isaac
Assist Trophy (Brawl, Ultimate)
Ace Primary Spirit
Legendary Primary Spirit
Mii costume
2 Music tracks
5- Alucard
Assist Trophy (Ultimate)
Legendary Primary Spirit
4 Music tracks
Palutena's Guidance cameo
6- Bomberman
Assist Trophy (Ultimate)
Ace Primary Spirit
Mii costume
7- Zero
Assist Trophy (Ultimate)
Ace Primary Spirit
Legendary Primary Spirit
Mii costume
2 Music tracks
8- Monster Hunter
Assist Trophy "Rathalos" (Ultimate)
Boss Battle "Rathalos" (Ultimate)

Tbh I could probably see Waluigi And Some other Character from the Mario Series getting in,Considering we Usually get like Two New Mario Reps per Smash Game. Smash 64 even started out the Mario Series with Two Reps. The only Game that’s really exempt from this tho Is Brawl,Where we COULD have Seen Geno and Seen Dr.Mario’s Return,but they were Scrapped.
Whether that 2nd Character be Geno or Someone like Captain Toad..I dunno. But It’s definitely Possible.
Once again though, almost certainly it's over for ultimate, maybe it's a tease for the next game, but on the off-shoot chance there is 1 last surprise in store for us for dlc and that extra slot on the site means something and is not a glitch, Game Awards, 100%.
We will just have to wait and see, do not expect anything at all, so if there is something, it's a genuine shock and surprise.

Yeah they did, granted, that could apply to just about anything (I'm remembering where they showed Cranky Kong in Tropical Freeze at the game awards one year and that was literally it), however with the past game awards reveals for smash they did explicitly state for people to watch if I'm not mistaken while other things usually not really, so just keep an eye out in case that happens.
But yeah, just to keep everyone's expectations down to avoid disappointment if the likely thing of nothing happens, expect nothing. We can hope but expect nothing by default, since we've been told that's it.
One thing I will say, If Waluigi does happen as a bonus and it's all tied to his whole "lurking in the shadows/back/dark", it would absolutely make sense after Sora considering Kingdom Hearts' whole theme is literally Light vs Darkness, and encroaching Darkness (which I guess is also world of light's theme too)
Then again you could argue Kazuya was already the "Darkness" and Sora is the end with light, but hey

Honestly..I think It’s just purely a Coincidence,Just like everything else..The Para Leak,The Waluigi Merch before E3 Happened,Etc.
I’d LOVE For Waluigi to be a Bonus Fighter but..Smash Ultimate’s done as far as I’m concerned as Sora is the Last Fighter in FP2 and Actually Nintendo UK Posted a Tweet of the Smash Banner/Mural saying “Everyone. is. Here.” Which Imo is a Clear Indicator there’s nothing else happening with the Game.
If That URL Page DOES have something to do with Ultimate,Maybe It could just literally be an Additional Stage like the Desk from Smash 64 or a Remix of Lifelight To Celebrate The End of Smash Ultimate. I’ll be SO Surprised if they somehow Actually reveal a Bonus Fighter at TGAs This Year and It’s Actually Waluigi.

Definitely not a bonus fighter, but a Smash 6 newcomer.
Even if it's just a coincidence, I think most would agree Waluigi's chances for the next game are much higher than ever before, thanks to his deconfirmation in E3 2018, which caused a massive uproar where fans spent three years straight supporting Waluigi for Ultimate DLC.
It may not have mattered for Ultimate in the end, but it definitely matters for Smash 6, and for Waluigi's status as a video-game character overall.
Looking at the sales figures, Mario Party is the biggest Nintendo franchise that doesn't have a stage—or any representation at all, for that matter—in Smash. It doesn't even have any music remixes. If Waluigi ever gets in, his stage should be Waluigi's Island from Mario Party 3. pic.twitter.com/Qb0hmXVjFy
Couldn't agree more with Kremling Kampaigner here.
We have Mario Kart representation through stages, music, and spirits. And you could argue Bowser Jr. also does with his side-b.
Mario Party is one of the biggest and most successful Nintendo IPs, and yet Smash treats it the same way it treats Mario vs. Donkey, or Captain Toad Treasure Tracker.
Now just imagine the possibilities if they correct this mistake when we do eventually get a Smash Ultimate Deluxe now that we have Mario Party Superstars, arguably the best game in the series by many.
Fighter: Waluigi
Stage: Waluigi's Island or a transforming stage going through different boards, simply titled Mario Party Board.

And here we clearly see Waluigi in a 1950s horror comic. And he's smoking!
Later in the story he show up wearing a purple suit, but I include this page because this is where he looks the most Waluigi ish.
I just thought some people here might get a kick out of it or could use it for an avatar or something.
All threads in newcomer speculation have already closed.
But on the topic of Waluigi being a bonus fighter... eh...? I'm not buying it. (as in believing in it) Even though the "lurking in the shadows" thing holds more water than the purple and yellow chairs, I kinda feel like it's just a big coincidence. And honestly, I'd rather have him get a bigger role in mainline Wario/Mario games than being a Smash fighter.
Though one thing that makes me want him in Smash more would be that it would be the final blow against the last rule for characters. (Besides the one about having to originate from a video game)

Well to be FAIR..If We’re talkin’ about Waluigi getting added to a NEW Smash Game..Then That won’t really be anything new,Little Mac got Upgraded from Brawl to Smash Wii U and 3DS. Same thing with Isabelle and Dark Samus.
So Waluigi getting Upgraded to Fighter Status in Smash 6 wouldn’t really be anything different.
Other than the OFFICIAL Rule that you need to be a Video Game Originated Character,The only other Rule is that Assist Trophies can’t be Upgraded in the Same Game/Can’t be DLC. And I have a Feeling that THAT of all the “Rules” Smash Fans have Conjured up throughout the Years will Hold Truth.
I am cautiously optimistic about mario strikers. I can trust next level games because unlike nintendo and camelot, they know how to give emotions to mario characters but the new strikers game looks like very toned down compared to the previous one and if anything, it will probably be closer to the gamecube game than the wii game which isn't a bad thing. Unfortuntaely you're gonna have to say goodbye to the waluigi crotch chop and all the crude humor that made the series so popular, there is no chance of it coming back because of how strict nintendo is these days.

Honestly, I really hate the whole "Waluigi's spin-off should be a wacky crossover with a meta-plotline about Waluigi being underutilised!" idea - comes off to me like a lazy excuse for not creating an all-original, fun world for Waluigi to explore like with Wario; DK; and Yoshi before. That goes for megs-crossovers in general as anything that isn't a multiplayer/sports game honestly.
