Not to mention that if keeping Sora on the eShop indefinitely is something that Disney won't allow, Sakurai would probably be more okay with a Sora Mii Costume eventually being pulled from the eShop by Disney compared to a full-on character.
Sakurai doesn't really seem to be on the same wavelength as fans when it comes to Mii costumes - for him they're a good consolation for fighters who didn't "make the cut," whereas for fans they're the end of the world and completely destroy a character's chances at getting into the game.

I can see him requesting Sora and "settling" for a Mii costume if the deal to get him as a character was too expensive.
"oh man getting Sora's likeness for a character is too hard and expensive let's still go though all that effort for a Mii Costume"

I would rather have nothing

It's less of his likeness being expensive & more of Disney not allowing him to stay on the eShop indefinitely in this scenario.

Sakurai going to slaughter the top guy picks.

Fighter Pass 2: All Women. Starting with Dixie

I wouldn't even be mad, even if I like Sora

At that point why bother? Especially for a character that would look extra lame as a Mii Costume. At least Sans players can pretend it's Sans because it legit looks alot like him

Personally, I can say this for almost every Mii costume. I would rather a character stay hypothetically in the running than be relegated to a Mii costume I probably won't even buy.
I bought K. Rool and Ashley costumes for Smash4 in hope that they'd understand that as demand for the character be eventually playable. It worked for K. Rool... (kinda... but he probably was already in the project plan for Ultimate early on regardless).

Still, in Ultimate, is much harder thinking with hope for the next game, because that won't be happening anytime soon and won't be quite as eventful as Ultimate, for sure. For many fans is now or never.

What's the Consensus on the premium costume leak?
Still split.

Oh come on, I haven't seen anything like that (unless you're harping on the WoFF one which had potential explanation) and if Disney really was that anal you won't even see half the collaborations that they have (Thanos, Wreck-it, heck even KH wouldn't have existed as a concept).

"Just like before"

This means the pacing will be very similar to the Banjo and Hero presentations.

45 MINUTES... WHAT COULD YOU BE DOING GANDALF.

Okay, so this probably is pre-recorded, like I initially thought, and it's the exact same format as the Hero and Banjo presentations.

So liiiike... SAKURAI C'MON. YOU COULD HAVE AT LEAST WAITED UNTIL TOMORROW SO I WOULDN'T HAVE TO WONDER ABOUT THIS.

Don't think Sakurai would want something like that limited time.

Alright here's our options
1. Poorly paced as all hell (this is the most likely one imo)
2. Some non-character related special content
3. Terry comes with a tag team mechanic, effectively making him 3 characters
4. Phoenix Wright comes in with the Objection
5. Premium Costumes
6. Sakurai speedruns every KoF game, breaking all the records.

I don't agree if it's a case where Sora truly can't happen as a character. With most other instances I'd feel the same way.

Problem is Sakurai likely wouldn't give details about that kind of thing, so we'd be left with a bunch of people wondering and/or bitter about it...

Also, there's the music addition, I'll take that over nothing.

Catch me collapsing in front of my computer and ascending to another plane of being if 4.

Catch me collapsing into my couch and just staring into the middle distance for about an hour if 1 or 5.

At this point the only reason I could see it being 45 minutes is that he goes through a 20 minute history of SNK.

Or Terry is coming with just a ton of content. Even Mii costumes I can't see being that complicated and taking that long.

So going back to the Mii Costume leak. Nintendo has taken down the Sword and Shield leaks so they are still being active about taking them down and the reason it took so long was because there was so much. So that makes the question of why they haven't tried to take down two Youtube videos that make it clear they are Smash leaks more valid
