Interesting thing to note: On Nintendo's YouTube in the Smash Bros. Playlist, there is a private video listed. Maybe soon we'll be getting a DLC character trailer? Warchamp (one of the Project M developers) tweeted about that, and he got a bunch of people responding that it was an old Smash Run trailer that Nintendo put up and then pulled because it contained footage of Ganondorf, who (at the time) wasn't revealed yet.

Ah, damn. Ah well Considering that the 1.1.2 datamine revealed 3 new character slots and 3 stage slots, I'd keep my eyes and ears open for anything. Still, I don't expect an announcement until mid-November, at the earliest.

Odds one of the Characters and Stages turning out to be Snake and Shadow Moses?

So...
Over the past couple of days a multitude of people, some reliable, some not, and some basically unknown, have been claiming a DLC character will be announced within the next two weeks.
The main hints that are being thrown around, shared by multiple people, are...
- Will create a lot of hype. - Will surprise people but their inclusion in one of the games has always been inevitable. - Is a newcomer. - Is a first party character. - Will "blow up" social media. - Some have said things like that this will be "big" or "enormous". - Is not a frontrunner in the ballot but is very popular.
Not sure I necessarily believe it but I'm keeping an eye on the situation. The prevailing theory is that it's Inkling, but a growing number of people are starting to note that the hints line up very well to Ridley, particularly with how people keep calling it "big", and he'd be more likely to blow up social media than Inkling is due to the troubled history he's had and the inevitability of them if not in this game for sure being in the next one. Plus due to the drama with him he's probably not a ballot frontrunner while most polls say Inkling is one.
If there's truth to it I'm definitely inclined to say it's Inkling and don't at all think it's Ridley, but man, I can hope.

Ridley finally being playable would be good if just to shut up the "Ridley is too big" people once and for all.
No one complained about Olimar being in due to being too small by canon, so why would this be a problem?

It's cool that Pikachu is twice as tall as he should be and has a move he can't learn, Alph has a ship that isn't his, Luigi is some weirdo eccentric constantly flinging himself at things instead of just a cowardly and less sure-footed Mario, but canon must be strictly followed for Ridley and only Ridley?

Out of curiosity, which move can't he learn?

For the record it also says Chibi Robo and Toad are and at one point said ZSS is compatible with DuckTales, so I wouldn't put faith in it.

I was totally going to say "Bomberman's going to make it in at last!" until I read this. Everything else fits almost too well.

Okay, as an update.
One person who's said to know who the character is tweeted a joke about the Inklings being in, then swiftly deleted it and replaced it with a joke about the Ice Climbers, which I don't really think is any sign of things but some people are taking it that way.
Another person is saying they heard from one of the people claiming to know that the character is Ridley and along with him will be an Arowana Mall stage.
Don't think there's anything to either but it bares mentioning. Even if Arowana Mall's my least favorite Splatoon stage and Ridley's my most wanted.

I hope it's a Winged Goomba
kicking the shit out of Mario with a Goomba would be a thing of legend.
