Man, to believe Samus Aran spent four games being the sole playable representative of the Metroid series in Smash. It wasn't until Ultimate that she finally got some company.
Yes, I know Captain Falcon was also (and still is) alone but Metroid is the bigger franchise. Captain Falcon is more famous than his home series at this point (and it was all thanks to Smash). I call this the Morrigan effect, named after Morrigan Aesland from crossover land Darkstalkers.
EDIT: I've seen a few people believe that the last character is gonna be the Chozo Warrior from Metroid Dread. It would match the pattern of how all the Nintendo DLC characters in this game are characters who debuted on the Switch. Not to mention of how the characters of both season passes were decided beforehand and Nintendo would have most likely told Sakurai about Metroid Dread and the Chozo Warrior before they revealed it to the public.
Is the Bird Dude actually getting in? Nobody knows for certain. In any case, we are gonna find out pretty soon.
