So I'm assuming we've actually seen either parts of the story mode, or the Rathalos boss fight is something that can happen in Classic Mode, or Event Mode is in the game (don't know if that was confirmed yet?). Are we also going to see Monster Hunter as a fighter? Seems odd for Rathalos to be the only representation in a fighting game, especially considering Monster Hunter was such a major feature on 3DS and is probably getting a dedicated Switch version.

Who else and what else can they confirm for this game? Event Mode, Smash the Targets, Home-Run mode, and All-Star mode are probably in there in some fashion. My guess is that the remaining mode blanked out on the menu is a story mode of some kind, and that the cut-scenes we've seen so far are a part of that, given the odd character match-ups we've seen (Samus, Mario and Mega Man encountering Ridley, Luigi being rescued by the Belmonts) - and that Dracula and Rathalos appear as bosses in that mode.

What other fighters are going to make the cut? My guess is that Monster Hunter has a higher chance now, but I'm not sure who else could join given the sheer range of what's already there. Maybe someone from Arms, and Rex/Pyra from Xenoblade 2? How big is the roster now?
