You know, Ridley and Rool should follow what Chrom did when he wasn't invited as a playable in Smash.
Join other crossovers! I mean, wouldn't you want an idol performer whose mirage is a purple dragon or an armored fat crocodile? Or have them be bosses in an SRPG that finally allowed big characters!

I always figure that if a character is high up in the ballots, they will never get in. Because that's just how breakfast food Japanese warrior works.
So no Wolf for me.

All the theorizing from the pre release hype threads(all 18+ of them) was one of the best parts of smash hype. Heck it still is now actually lol.

We also thought all of the theorizing would end when Smash 4 came out, yet here we are.
I doubt there will be an end of this after December.

Funny how it's not, considering tons of other potato products are, like hash browns, tater tots, home fries.
Might be the last direct that is NOTHING BUT smash bros. I'm sure we'll see more stuff in other directs/e3 directs, especially if ballot stuff is still 6+ months off.

wait, it's not?
I'm not American or English so I'm assuming it is a breakfast meal like as georly said
No, mashed potatoes are a lunch/dinner thing only in the US.
Every smash direct has detailed more than just stages and characters, I'm pretty sure.
I'm guessing we'll get some final mode updates or even new modes. Hopefully fan-requested fixes for tournament mode.

Unless everything is released immediately after the next Smash Direct, I can't see everything being announced months in advance. Minor content like the Mii costumes probably only would be announced alongside the DLC upload, not months before.
Of course, if everything announced is released right after the Direct, it could be the end of it all.
There's no way the December Broadcast is the end of it all. It'll likely be the last time Sakurai gives us info directly, but I think they'll still save a couple of characters to be revealed next year on regular Directs.
It's also very unlikely they'd have all characters ready to be shown only two months after the end of the ballot.

*After seeing trailers for Wolf and Inkling*
Sakurai: "Oh yeah, we're also working on Shantae, Rayman and Banjo-Kazooie. We'll show those trailers in the future."
Dude, come on. Do you seriously think they'll just TELL us what characters are coming? Either have a trailer ready or show us nothing.

I don't see why the December broadcast can't be the end of it all. They might not have the characters ready to be shown, but it takes less than two months to come up with at least artworks for the characters. I am not saying it will definitely happen, but it's entirely possible that all remaining Smash 4 DLC is announced in a few weeks. Then they would show the trailers for the characters when the release date is close.
No? Mashed potatoes are a lunch/dinner thing in Brazil as well.

Ahh I see.
That is exactly what I think. The DLC is wrapping up and the team will be disbanding soon. This gravy train will not last forever.

Has Tamaki said anything about Shovel Knight in a post-Cloud world? I asked him on Twitter, but he hasn't responded yet. Hopefully he's not avoiding the issue.
When I had a private conversation with a friend on Twitter who didn't know about the SK rumor and I mentioned "Unseen64 guy spun a rumor about him" he showed up out of nowhere and went all "I didn't spin anything I just made a video on the Nintendo Life article"... even though he's the one who wrote that article in the first place.
I had a laugh that day.

I'm not gonna make any comments on his character, I just want confirmation on him doubling down on his source. I would like to have SK in Smash, but if the rumour is smashed (hurdurr) I wanna know so that I can stop wasting my feelings.
EDIT: In other news yoooo this rogersbase podcast is nuts

If the SK amiibo stuff wasn't part of what he had 'inside info' on and he's claiming he never said SK was playable, what was his inside information meant to be in the first place?
Cloud really does make me think SK isn't happening, even if I still think he'd be pretty nifty.

Nah, I don't think he doubled down on it at all. He's just reporting on the news as it comes to begin with. I feel like the SK rumor is kind of busted if they're going to announce someone like Cloud this early.
edit: nvm I was a year off on the anniversary thing.
Telling us everything that's coming in the December Broadcast is not going to wrap things up and disband the team any earlier.

Once again it seems Chronoman has some sort of agenda. I really don't understand why.
It is not definite at all that December will be the last time we get DLC.
It is not definite at all that December will be the last time we hear about new content for Smash.
It is not definite at all that the team will disband in another month.
In fact, I find all three of those things incredibly unlikely.
All of this is predicated on a vague statement that the team would disband "soon"...half a year ago along with a blip in a press release about December having the last smash-focused stream. And that doesn't prevent content from being announced in normal Directs or elsewhere.

What if the ballot character is implemented as a clone? K.Rool as a slower Donkey Kong, just with new idle and running animations!
I have no agenda. I am just looking at what Sakurai said and what Nintendo said about this being the last smash direct.
"It is not definite at all that December will be the last time we get DLC." I never said this
"It is not definite at all that December will be the last time we hear about new content for Smash." I never said this either
"It is not definite at all that the team will disband in another month." Sakurai said there are only a few characters left.

3 minutes in and wolf is already called a clone and krystal would be better. I can't...XD

Wolf is setting the bar low? A ton of people want Wolf back.

Don't use the word "deserve".
Dr. Buni

If you look at the Smash 4 roster, you will notice that there's no such thing as a character deserving to be in Smash. The characters that get in Smash are the characters Nintendo and Sakurai want in Smash, regardless of they deserving or not to be in the game. Inklings will eventually be in Smash, I don't think anyone doubt that, but honestly expecting a RH rep, at this point, is setting yourself for disappointment. After all, it seems like that quote about the remaining DLC being fanservice was on point.
I only hope Banjo-Kazooie, Crash, Bomberman or any character I care about is part of the "fanservice".
Inklings would be fanservice considering how big the series has gotten. It will not be all third party characters if the ballot is used at all.

I do think December's going to be it, not just for Smash 4, but I could see it being the last time we see Smash content from Sakurai ever. Cloud in Smash Bros. almost feels like a mic drop.
PushDustIn seems to still believe it, but his confidence in it has been shaken.
I could have swore the inside source was supposedly an Amazon employee who saw the DLC on Amazon. Which, in that case, that doesn't make any sense, because Cloud would have been there too, and seriously, who's bigger news? Shovel Knight's dead in the water. But it is kind of funny that Tamaki would try to say he never said Shovel Knight would be playable. Guy's a fraud.

The Shovel Knight dudes are still being weird about the whole thing though. Still can't shake how suspicious that is.
I actually bought (the disc copy) SK due to the "leak" and I'm enjoying it a lot. I can really see why he'd make a good fit, gameplay wise, for Smash.
He's just such a minor character compared to other third parties.
But a Cloud/Wolf/SK end to Smash DLC would certainly be interesting.

You know why he's a likely contender?
He made Nintendo a fair coin
My final guesses after thinking everything over from feedback/responses from you guys is the following:
-Wolf returns to Smash with a design mirroring his Brawl Look/Star Fox Zero appearence. Both versions come with a new SF Stage (maybe the one from Smash 64) but likely not.
-Snake has a high shot at returning due to both him not reqiuring a lot of work (could re-use a lot from Brawl) and due to him being a high request from the Smash Ballot
-Inkling either will appear in Smash now, or they will save the character for Smash 5. Inkling will come with both versions (Boy and Girl) alongside an Inkopolis stage.
-New Third Party Guest: Could be anyone (Level-5 Yo-Kai Watch Rep or Professor Layton, Another Sega/Bamco/Square Fighter, Ubisoft's Rayman, ect) but leaning on either a Yo-Kai being a playable fighter or someone else. I would personally love to see Banjo & Kazooie appear in Smash but not expecting that.
-Surprise Nintendo Character: Could be one of the people many voted during the Smash Ballot. Issac from Golden Sun, King K. Rool from DKC, or Paper Mario could fit this slot.

.Shovel Knight did not even sell that well. It sold ok.

You know who didn't make Nintendo any money, but probably cost Nintendo sales?
Cloud
How much money a series makes Nintendo doesn't really matter for third parties.

Have we considered that the Shovel Knight amiibo may provide a mii swordfighter costume of said knight? because I've always thought that might happen more than SK himself being playable.
It would give the amiibo greater purpose after all seeing its limited usage.

Most of Reddit seems to have a fairly pessimistic view that Cloud will come with basically no music at all, like Ryu.
But looking at other third parties, Street Fighter is the exception, not the rule. Sonic, Metal Gear, Mega Man and Namco all have a large collection of diverse music.

I can see Cloud's stage having a decent amount of music actually
