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

Ok, give me all content on the cart.  Releasing things incomplete and updating overtime has never/will never/is not the best method IMO.  Any DLC, free or paid, should be EXTRA content.

 

Smash Ultimate was advertised as an Ultimate Smash with all previous characters returning, so they did the right and best thing by giving us all content on the cart.

A marketing campaign can be altered.

Additionally, free DLC for online multiplayer games have proven quite popular lately.  It gives players a reason to keep going back to games.  I mean, you're free to have that opinion if you like, but right now the biggest game on the planet, Fortnite, could never maintain its popularity if it wasn't adding (and subtracting) content on a weekly basis.  I don't think it makes sense just to call a game incomplete because it has an extended roll out.

It's not like I'm suggesting a model that hasn't seen success.

That still does not give me all of the content on the cart I payed 60 dollars for.  Your argument is invalid to my point.
