Re: models: I remember hearing Jigglypuff's 3DS model is recycled from X/Y with some coloring touch-ups, but as far as I'm aware none of the fighters have ever reused their models from older Smash games.
Re: Direct: Yeah yeah, we know the drill by now.
I'm not expecting a fighter reveal, but that only means I'll be pleasantly surprised if there IS one.
If they don't announce a new character, I may have to avoid other Nintendo-related websites for a while because no one is going to be happy.
But I really don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that we'll get a new character announcement.

"I'm glad I don't wear shoes or else I'd have to always get shoes in two different sizes. ...If you know, you know!"Yeah. Is there anything that's not a Base Breaker in the Smash fandom?
"And nobody, in all of Oz, no wizard that is or was, is ever gonna bring ME DOWN!"At this point, I'm not really going to be disappointed with whatever characters we wind up getting. I'm just glad we're getting new characters. Sakurai could say that Baby Mario and Luigi are going to be in the game and I probably would still get them.

I suppose it depends on the complexity of the character, as well. I can't imagine it took the standard length of development time for Ryu, for example.
