on one hand I think adding so many 3rd party fighters messes with the "purity" of smash bros. on the other hand heck yeah more badass fighterz!Thinking about the importance of Joker/Ren being included to Smash, and it changes the game to what to expect.
It also seems from what Reggie's comments, that the characters will be new to Smash and without having any prior representation (as seen with Challenger Pack 1). If they stick to that, that changes the entire game to what we may want to think of who comes, going forward.

Going to get Smash by January hopefully, and shortly after that once things cool over; I'll get the challenge packs. As with the first fighter, it changes the game.
Speaking of, talking to @Joe about it, and he seems like a very easy character that could be pulled off. You could even, if you will, have him act as a Shulk: with multiple Personas on-top of Arsene.
So before the Overwatch case leak a poster on 4Chan hinted strongly that Tracer would be the next DLC character. Problem is the licensed case came after this "leak" broke which is leading many to start to believe it... Honestly I'd be a bit disappointed as while big as Overwatch is, it isn't an icon nor relevant in video game roots as it once was and a waste of a roster spot. To me adding Tracer would be the equivalent of adding any default Fortnite skin.
Personally I'm holding onto the sliver of hope that we'll see Porky finally added as a legitimate character (and I know Sakari hasn't forgotten him... he was a boss in Brawl and trophy in Smash 4/5 for Pete's sake!). More Earthbound representation is always welcome, especially if it were Nintendo's "first party" character to be DLC exclusive... plus, it'd give me more hope of Nintendo dropping Mother 3 or a remake of the Earthbound trilogy for Switch! hehe.
But thoughts on the rumor? For a fact DLC #5 has to be huge, but 4 is definitely the middle ground that makes me wonder what weird tricks will surprise - or let down - the community.
Ooh, I'm excited!
Haven't posted in here before but I am a hugeeeeeeee Smash fan. My top picks at the moment would be Geno, Waluigi, and Master Chief, but most of my top requests have already gotten in (Little Mac, K. Rool, Ridley, Bowser Jr., Pac-Man) so honestly at this point any character they add is just more icing on the cake.
I think we'll only get one new fighter in this presentation similar to the Terry one. We might get a tease about what the Post-Fighter's Pass DLC will be like (individual characters vs 2nd Fighters Pass), and I would love to get a full reveal of a post-pass fighter, but I don't really expect that to happen.
I'm gonna predict a Bethesda character tomorrow, most likely Dragonborn from Skyrim. I don't think it's gonna be Doomguy unfortunately, I can just feel it in my gut. Love to be wrong though (even though he's directly competing against my boy Chief). Vault Boy is just a little too wierd of a pick, and honestly after 4/76 I don't want a Fallout rep.
