That was probably decided on decently in advance.
Fighters Pass Vol. 2 was originally gonna just be 5 characters before Disney agreed to Sora being included at the last minute (FP2 was fully locked in by around November 2019). Likewise, Sephiroth & Kazuya seemingly switched places for reveals as a result going by how their files are ordered, so a change had to have happened to the point where Geoff couldn't plan that far in advance.

Another potential example of a last-minute TGA-related change is Byleth, who (according to Imran & internal news listing data in-game) was supposed to come out in December 2019 but was internally delayed a month. Between that & how their reveal trailer was structured, it's likely that Byleth was supposed to be a TGA 2019 reveal.

Excited to hear Chris Pratt spake half a line and pretend like it was horrible

I think people were a little harsh with the first trailer as well.

But the fact of the matter is that people react harshly to Chris Pratt these days because of who he is as a person and he hasn't exactly done much to try and correct that.

Wasn't expecting until the Game Awards--no complaints though, looking forward to it!

I mean Mario's OG story is that he was isekaid from Brooklyn IIRC
Originally.
Though it's very likely these days that Nintendo wants him to be on the same planet as the Mushroom Kingdom.
Hence Mario Odyssey.
Otherwise, why retcon it so that he's from the Mario Universe-equivalent to Brooklyn instead?

They're really doing the Brooklyn isekai thing? Nasty
