Nintendo has revealed the details on the downloadable content for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. There will be five packs available for $5.99 each. However, the $24.99 Fighters Pass will includes all five packs. It is not known who the DLC characters will be.
Here is an overview of the DLC:
New fighters, stages and music will be coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate through the end of February 2020 in the form of paid DLC.
For only $5.99, players can purchase one set, which includes a new playable fighter (not an Echo Fighter), a new stage and a variety of music tracks.
By purchasing a Fighters Pass for $24.99, players will get access to five yet-to-be-announced sets, which is five new fighters, five stages and multiple music tracks, as they release. Players who purchase a Fighters Pass will also receive an in-game outfit based on Rex from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 starting December 7.
Pre-purchasing the digital version of the game with the Fighters Pass in Nintendo eShop or on Nintendo.com before 11:59 p.m. ET on December 6 will earn My Nintendo members 425 bonus Gold Points, or double the usual amount. The bonus points will be issued on the game’s launch day.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will launch for the Nintendo Switch on December 7.

I'm glad the pricing isn't as insane as Smash for 3Ds and Wii U Dlc have been.
5 characters for $25 is a terrible price. A $25 DLC pack should be something as huge as Shivering Isles for Oblivion, not a few extra stages and characters.
For a fighting game this isn't half bad. Particularly with so many fighting games being incomplete at launch in recent years. This is a game packed with an astronomical amount of content at launch.
On one hand I feel like they could've gone a bit lower in price both individually and for the pass, but on the other hand the base game content is monstrously huge and these are strictly add-ons.
Maybe by the time the new Switch model comes out they'll have a complete edition.
