Welp...here we are.

At the very end of October.

According to that one ex-employee of Nintendo, we should've gotten confirmation on the next Smash DLC newcomer by now. Where is it?

...

That's what I feared. This is why we have grains of salt, people. You can't believe every rumor you hear. Most end up being flawed or completely false.

Anyway, there's more sad news in the same vein. Someone was officially deconfirmed.

That someone...is Shovel Knight.

As Nintendo has been quiet about which characters are coming soon, many rumors have been circulating, speculating on who is arriving to the game in the coming DLC. The most popular rumor is that of Shovel Knight, the lead protagonist in the game of the same name, which was developed by Yacht Club Games. However, this rumor was shot down by none other than Yacht Club Games, who wrote in a Twitter post: "Appreciate the enthusiasm for the idea, but I believe this listing was made in error." In addition to this, they also said that their character is not compatible with the "Super Smash Bros." game, as reported in the Master Herald.

Read the full story here.

So...there's that, unfortunately. The knight's own makers shot down the expectations.

In any case, we still have three new character slots and two stage slots added lately. Only time will tell what's gonna fill those. Let's hope we see something Smash-related during November. Or December. Some time before the end of the year.

Oh! And, um...HAPPY HALLOWEEN, MY LITTLE BEASTS AND GHOULS!
