"Leaks" are about to get wrecked.

Reset the clock: we have a Direct.
A Super Smash Bros. Direct will air on Thursday, November 1 at 10 am Eastern time/7 am Pacific. The video is expected to run for 40 minutes.
A Treehouse Live presentation will air following the Direct, featuring Smash alongside Pokémon Let's Go, Diablo III: Eternal Collection, and Yoshi's Crafted World.
Another 40 minutes.
How big is this freakin' game?!
I hope Sakurai doesn’t reveal the entire roster because I enjoy the internet meltdown whenever a new fake leak or outlandish fan theory happens. “Look at these pixels on this picture of a box taken on a 15 year old Nokia cell phone” then GameXplain uploads a 37 minute video and there’s 6000 replies in the ResetEra thread within an hour.

It'd be funny if he says what we see on Thursday is the entire roster but there's still at least one more hidden character not shown. That would certainly be one way to cause another uproar when early copies start coming out.You have no idea how much I want that to happen.
As much fun as they are, I think Sakurai is probably tired of all the fakes and rumors going around, so he might just want to put them to bed once and for all.Sakurai hates leaks. The fakes/rumors probably don't affect him much, and we've seen him have some fun with them. The King Dedede fake out at the beginning of the King K. Rool reveal trailer was *chef kiss*
Sakurai already revealed that the entire roster will be announced before the game launches. Since this is the last Smash Direct before the game is released, one would assume that it will have the full roster.We know. We’re just having some fun. Why won’t you let us have any fun?
He said this in the August Direct.
Fun? Now that's a word I haven't heard in a long, long time...Sakurai already revealed that the entire roster will be announced before the game launches.

Someone on a prominent messageboard pointed out how insane it is that Nintendo is promoting a livestream with Smash, Pokemon, Yoshi, and DIABLO... and now I can't unsee it.
Last ten seconds he looks at the camera, and says "This is the last Smash Brothers game, i'm done with you ruining my fun.".
