Anyway two Direct makes sense if the leak is real. Two characters in a general One, and the final five later.

That's what throws me off. The only two characters revealed outside a Smash information blowout are Isabelle and Inkling. Both these reveals were used to announce games (Smash Bros Switch and Animal Crossing Switch).

Smash 4 had Rosalina, Little Mac, and Shulk revealed in non-Smash specific Directs. Palutena and Mii Fighters too, though that was E3, so those are special events.

I meant for this particular game. Smash 4 was a fairly constant stream of info. Ultimate's revealed most of its information in bursts.
There's no rule that says they can't go back to doing what they did before. And I forgot Cloud in 2015, which was so hyped and massively talked about it was a hit for Nintendo.

Alternatively: Chorus Kids to lead into Rhythm Heaven Switch.

Man Shulk's reveal was a big one because it absolutely confirmed the ESRB leak.

The next character reveal will have the same effect if this banner turns out to be real.

There's no hard rule. I just wouldn't be shocked if whatever gets revealed outside of the Smash direct is used to cross-promote something. Banjo for the N64 Classic, Chorus Kids for Rhythym Heaven, Incineroar for a Pokemon game that he's not in for some dumbass reason, etc.

Nah, I don't think they'll spread out Smash Bros info across two directs.

If I had to predict, I expect all remaining Smash Bros info to be revealed this week, and it will be the final roster.

As far as I know, that 'Grinch' banner is missing multiple characters. At least two characters. Which is why I don't believe that banner at all.

the funniest possible outcome is they reveal a character that's actually on the leaked banner but then the art's completely different

Yeah, they need to release all Smash info asap, people are crazy about this game when it comes to leaks and release is only a month away, guides will be printed soon and I guess they want to promote the game with the final roster.

Missing multiple in addition to what's there or some are fake and there's missing characters? I'm assuming it's the latter

What if this like a case like the Cloud direct where there was a regular direct first that ended with a announcement for a smash direct?

Let's humour what Emily is saying, and that the Grinch banner is missing two characters that are legitimately in Smash Ultimate.

You've got two options
1) The banner, for some reason, has several entirely new and surprising characters seemingly with intent to "complete" the roster, yet for some reason neglects two additions that, if the Grinch banner is legit, would not appear in marketing material.
or 2) The Grinch banner is and always was completely false.

The lack of two characters in the banner is the last-minute twist this thread needed. And it makes me slightly more optimistic about Elma.

Incineroar and Monster Hunter.

The twist is we spent three months looking for fake leaks when Sakurai leaked the franchise the last newcomer was from already.
