Ahead of Sunday’s Smash Bros. presentation, which promises a look at new upcoming content, Nintendo of Japan released a new patch earlier today, which eager fans hurriedly data-mined.
From the available data, fans have deduced there will be two new DLC characters, including another Fire Emblem character!

15th April: A 3DS hacker by the name of shinyquagsire23 uncovered various new sound files in the 1.06 update for Super Smash Bros. for 3DS, including an unused victory theme for Roy from Binding Blade and Super Smash Bros. Melee (Source).
To my knowledge, the findings are legitimate, but the purpose of the file is less certain. Obviously, there’s the possibility that Nintendo is paving the way for Roy as a future DLC character. But on the other hand, it could be a test file or a file from a scrapped project.
