Well, maybe, but I do remember last game had Megaman introduced at E3, then they went and revealed more new fighters later on.Sakurai made it sound like their focus was on getting the entire cast of the old games into Ultimate, not on piling on a bunch of new characters. The rumor mill says a lot of stuff in this game was made to appeal to the hardcore Melee crowd, hence things like the Gamecube controller adapter getting special attention and stuff like that.
That being said I'm not convinced this is everything there is to see. Some of the best fighters in Smash Bros Wii-U were DLC content. Once the base game is totally nailed down I would be surprised if Sakurai didn't turn his attention to adding new fighters. At the very least there has to be a demand for some of the new pokemon from Sun and Moon. Maybe we'll wind up getting that hype train after all.
To keep up the hype, I would not be surprised if they kept a few surprises in store to reveal during the wait.
