Excluying echo fighters, and counting piranha plant as a dlc fighter, we can see a Pattern of 6 characters: I’ve actually heard this “Theory of Six” thing discussed before (trust me with how long the gaps between reveals are the SmashBoards Geno thread has discussed almost everything you could imagine).
 * The first character was very unexpected (inkling, piranha plant and min min)
 * The second character seemed impossible, but it happened (ridley for being "too big" and always was a boss, and joker for not have a game in nintendo)
 * The third character was another third party character already in smash (simon from konami and the hero from square enix)
 * The Fourth is obvious (both use the same trailer, k. Rool and banjo)
 * The Fifth is a misterious character, Who we cannot know who it is until the invitation appears (isabelle because she trailer didn't start like other trailers, and terry for the compilation of other snk characters)
 * The sixth and last was a leak-breaker, a character who kill all leaks about characters and change the form of how see the dlc (incineroar and the Grinch leak and byleth...)

I’d say your right about the theme of ALMOST everything. The only one I’d say isn’t correct is the first character being unexpected (Inkling was one of the most expected characters for a Smash 5). They do however all share the trait of being first party.

I don’t believe this theory. Seems a little weird the Smash team would go in a vague theme for each set of 6 unique characters. Though Geno would actually fit the second category.
