Should Smash Have Been Released in August with Fewer Characters and Slowly Built to 75 with Free DLC?

This is a horrible Idea. Ultimate's main selling point was "Everyone is here". They would have to take that away. It's not like Splatoon and Arms had the content, but kept it away for dlc down the line. New content was being made after the game came out

Hence my suggestion of also pushing up the release date.

But that's the thing. If Sakurai needed more time, he get it. While the demo showed polished, it was still incomplete. To do QA and debug the whole game. Plus, we don't know where the game was in terms of completion during the Summer. Probably not at a point where they were ready to release it.
