I think the Direct will be held on the date you mentioned, but without the Smash Ballot release. I think the Smash Ballot characters will be announced on November 21st, the one-year anniversary of the release of Smash Wii U. The ballot ended on Smash 3DS's first birthday, so I think this is most likely.
