Huh, so that makes the game only having four true newcomers (Inkling, Ridley, Simon and King K. Rool) so far, with few Echo Fighters along the way. I half-expected Octolings for the Inklings' Echo Fighter but 1.) That would be too early despite the date and 2.) The inklings are of the Splatoon 1 style while the octolings did not get the playable love until Splatoon 2 Octo Expansion so the 1.) part is applied regardless. I guess what we got instead works.

Probably a unique mode but not story mode. That seemed to have stopped for a reason, but I can't really remember... Might be because of the internet leaks. SSB4 originally intended to have a story mode but was cancelled for that reason. Might be remembering wrong!
