See, the thing is that Joker got added because P5 is popular worlwide and Sakurai went on recor to say the menu design on P5 inspired Ultimate's menu too.

Hero is mostly for eastern audiences, namely Japan, where Dragon Quest is so popular that they signed a law preventing video games from being released on certain days because so many children skipped school to get 3.

Banjo's for the western audiences/to promote Nintendo and Microsoft's relationship, plus he's a legacy character.

Terry is in for more fighting game representation, but also because Fatal Fury and King of Fighters both inspired Sakurai to make Smash Bros in the first place.

Fighter number 5? From leaks it's porbably going to be Ryu Hayabusa, since Ninja Gaiden is a legacy game that defined a genre.

My takeaway from all this is that all DLC will be third party characters who either inspired Sakurai's workm is a legacy character, or defined a genre.

So Doomguy is pretty much expected anyway as it defined the FPS genre and Sakurai once name dropped John Carmack as the father of FPS, and Bethesda has been tlaking to Nintendo about Smash.
