Considering we got Petey as an extra for Vol 1, you think Sakurai will give us a bonus fighter alongside the final fighter? Maybe another random first party enemy or someone like a Linkle or Waluigi?

Piranha Plant was completely unconnected to the first fighters pass

AND HIS NAME'S NOT PETEY

I know you don't want it to end, we had a nice ride... but the Fighter Pass has to end some time. Just accept it now, it will be easier.

Let Sakurai rest.

my expectation is nothing, but there's maybe a slim chance they make that master hand from adventure mode into a bonus survival game or something

Should be noted that where Pirahna Plant is in the files, it seems likely he was pushed to DLC from base roster as a freebie due to development delays or just wanting a character as a promotional character.

Regardless, no chance lol

Yeah, I'm expecting them to end with a surprise, something like Waluigi would be funny just for the memes (and I unironically want him in)

No.

Proof: If you turn on character stacking, the character select screen will make a perfect rectangle with 1 more character added. This was also true with the launch roster AND the Fighter Pass 1 roster.

Throughout all of Smash Ultimate's lifecycle you've always been able to tell how many characters are left to be added in the current "round" by seeing how many total characters will form a perfect rectangle.

I swear Sakurai specifically said the next one was it before. I could see maybe a last sorta blow out with some bonuses on top of the last character but I wouldn't/don't expect a second newcomer.

I don't think it's happening, but I selfishly definitely want it to lmao

I really love Smash Ultimate and I'm gonna be sad to see the introduction of new characters end! But it's time for the development team to take a break after the work that's been put in for so long.

I sort of thought we'd have had some Echo Fighters released as freebies, kinda weird we didn't.

No, Sakurai made it very clear that this next character will be the last one.

After Cinderace's reveal, Sakurai himself will announce Fighter Pass Vol.3, with seven fighters this time!

Then he pauses, and sobs quietly for three and a half minutes before the Direct finally cuts away for the announcement of Codename Steam's Switch port.

I trust Sakurai when he says this is it. I feel hes already frustrated as hell ar times where there's a group of people who try to read between the lines out of anything he says.

My dream scenario is that after Sakurai finishes his presentation for the final character that an "OBJECTION!" flashes on screen and Phoenix Wright get announced as the REAL last character. That would be such a hype and logical way to do it and have a bonus character LOL

There's a 4chan "leak" that's been somewhat accurate that mentioned this possibility. It'd be fun but I don't expect it.

I'm feeling like the final character is already considered as a bonus or special thing, as it had a special animation when the first FP2 trailer was shown.
Or maybe that was done to emphasize on the fact that FP2 technically has one more character than FP1, I dunno.
I don't think we're getting anything past FP2, I just hope we get one last Sakurai presentation as good as the previous ones to end the Ultimate DLC phase on the best possible note :)
