There are articles and videos going up right now about how supposedly the rest of the Smash Ultimate DLC characters have been datamined. So click on them at your own risk.
I, for one, like to go into new fighter reveals blind. I love the hype of Sakurai completely blind siding us. That's what made the reveals of Snake, Sonic, Mega Man, Cloud, Ridley, King K. Rool, and Joker so impactful. The suspense and hype was taken out of other big reveals like Ryu and Simon Belmont because they were leaked.
A big part of the Smash experience to me is simply speculating about the newcomers and then seeing our hopes finally met or dashed once more. So it always bothers me to see these kinds of leaks circling around, and why I try to avoid them.
What about you? Do you care about being spoiled about newcomers beforehand?
