Just to play devil's advocate, it's entirely possible that the last character is once again a promotional Nintendo character, with Sakurai/Nintendo deeming Byleth a better pick over other upcoming Switch characters (at the time they were selected) like a new Pokémon, the Astral Chain hero, or Ring Fit Adventurer.
Yeah. Unless we get a shadow drop of Fighter #5. I'm assuming we'll get something pertaining to the post pass fighters.So anyone think they might tease the first character of wave 2?

P.S.: How is the Direct speculation thread doing with this Sakurai presentation announcement? Have they resorted to cannibalism, yet?
The use of the word "oracle" in Sakurai's post here is giving me some real flashbacks to "sorry if my eyes are red" before he revealed King K. Rool.
Any franchises with prominent oracle-related characters we should be paying attention to?

Honestly, I'd hope that Sakurai learned his lesson after Corrin. Especially considering he almost didn't add them to begin with, and we're now two characters deeper into that franchise.
The three obviously means the third console competitor confirmed. Kratos is in!
So, if it's Dante, at least the "no realistic guns on Smash" rule is over and the Doom Slayer dream is stronger than ever for Season 2
I'm sure he'd still want to mention the English title in the presentation. He always points out trivia like that.
Didn't Joker break that rule already? Yeah it's not a "real" gun but it's not like the casual fan will know that.So, if it's Dante, at least the "no realistic guns on Smash" rule is over and the Doom Slayer dream is stronger than ever for Season 2
I like the idea that the fingers are actually for the next characters, not this one.
We have been third party 4/5. Unlikely that Fighter #5 will break the trend.I'm sure he'd still want to mention the English title in the presentation. He always points out trivia like that.
(I don't actually think we're getting Byleth.)
It also makes a nice pretty rectangle if we get 10 more characters after this one. You gotta dream bigger.I've been hoping for exactly three more characters after this fighters pass so the character select screen makes a nice pretty rectangle.
Yeah the "it's actually not a real gun" thing is bullshit. CERO don't give a shit about that, Joker has a Glock that's it lolDidn't Joker break that rule already? Yeah it's not a "real" gun but it's not like the casual fan will know that.
It's not Dante. Capcom wouldn't have teased DMC news if it were about Dante in Smash.

Signs imply ten characters are possible and they would also make a rectangle.I've been hoping for exactly three more characters after this fighters pass so the character select screen makes a nice pretty rectangle.
I fucking should've stuck with Smash Direct as my prediction but the Pokémon Direct fucked with my expectations
It makes too much sense for a Smash Direct for early in the year
-DLC 5 needed to be announced soon as not only the deadline was soon but also to finish marketing for the FP and move on
-DLC 6 is very likely coming out in the Spring it with DLC 5 still unknown made a 2 character reveal super likely considering we weren't likely getting a Direct in Spring
-However it would be tough to do a duo reveal in the Direct format so at first I considered a Smash Direct but all the discussion for general got me to readjust my expectations and I stopped thinking about it after Pokémon
Sakurai'a fingers form an "E".
Estelle is coming everyone. You can't fight it.

...Eh okay.
3 for KH3 Sora.We doing ridiculous "3" theories? Clearly the next fighter is from Square Enix because all they could spare for them was three songs.
