Super Smash Brothers Ultimate

I wasn't disappointed, I am disappointed. Fire Emblem fighter, with an Echo.

Corholio

Byleth it is. Looks like that 'three' sign from Sakurai was indeed a clue.

Not a 'big' name but from a big success in the franchise it perhaps make sense. Gonna drive the 'no more Fire Emblem characters' crew mad though :P

sligeach

That's 8 Fire Emblem fighters, I think, not including female versions.

Corholio

Altair (Assassins Creed), Rabbids, X and Exe (Megaman X) and Cuphead are the Mii costumes.

Corholio

There will be 6 new fighters in the next Challengers Pass. All the next fighters have already been decided.

Ancient Soldier Mii costume is exclusive bonus for purchasing next Challenger Pack.

Byleth is exactly the sound i made with my mouth when i heard it was another fire emblem character

CastorTroy

Haven't watched, but how did they stretch that to 35 mins?
I'd say Sakurai had a big name in mind for the final character only to then be told he has to pad it out to another 6, so then threw this together

Wolverine359

I was hoping they’d announce new amiibos based on the dlc characters. That and that Sephiroth was the 5th fighter, but I guess we can hope he shows up in the next 6.

AMGer

Finally got the last spirit I needed from the Vault shop - brings me up to 1402 of 1406 spirits - I missed the River City series event, so I’ll have to wait for the next game update for those to be added to the Spirit Board

Smash Bros. Ultimate - The ARMS Fighter Is Nearly Here! Who the Heck Is It?! Predictions DISCUSSION

The next fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate could drop any day now so it's time to give our final predictions on who the ARMS character may be, what they'll play like, and what we expect from their stage!

For me it has to be Twintelle, or go to hell. She makes sense more than any other fighter for several reasons. Not least because she's the only character with real arms to grab in-game items. The others would all look daft doing so. 16th June will be the 3 year anniversary of ARMS releasing, so it might happen on that day.

Join us next Monday at 3pm (UK time) to find out which #ARMS fighter is joining Super #SmashBrosUltimate in a roughly 35 minute-long livestream from series director Masahiro Sakurai.

What if Nintendo throw us a curveball? What if it's a new fighter character for ARMS? One that has a female or male echo fighter. And it gets added to ARMS as well after Ultimate. It would be a first and it could help give ARMS a boost in promotion(re-promotion?).

Or maybe the ARMS fighter could be from ARMS 2. 2 ARMS. ARMS & LEGS? A sequel could be in production. The original game released 3 years ago. It might be a way off, perhaps even a year, but they could put a fighter from it in SSBU. Stranger things have happened. Nintendo never said it was an already existing ARMS fighter. We'll find out either way tomorrow.

The DLC fighter was revealed to be Min-Min. Good choice imo, glad it wasn't the obvious Spring Man pick. Vault Boy from Fallout was also revealed as a Mii costume.

Mr E

Min Min - arriving later this month.

The arms swapping mechanic is interesting.

tbahh

I think she's the most unique fighter from the passes right now, not including Piranha Plant!

Also makes the speculation more interesting as Min Min has been upgraded from spirit to fighter, leaving the likes of others such as Rayman, Geno and Shantae with a possible shot of getting in!

It seems like Heihachi has been de-confirmed, with his Mii costume returning. I don't mind too much as I'm not a huge fan of characters originating from fighting games joining the roster!

Also, Crash 4 is about to be revealed. Maybe we're getting his Smash reveal. It's wishful thinking, no doubt!

Bought Min Min dlc yesterday. She's now my favourite fighter. Hadn't played Smash in a few weeks but this dlc reignited my interest in the game. I'm still brutal but happy enough to pick up the occasional win online.
Might pick up the Banjo dlc now while I'm at it.

Next character reveal tomorrow at 3pm

sligeach

It's Ryu Hayabusa if the rumours are true. If you're asking who, he's from Ninja Gaiden. Though, he doesn’t necessarily have to be revealed tomorrow.

Corholio

Hard to guess this one. Urbosa would be a nice left field one, Travis has been rumoured on and off, like Ryu Hayabusa.

It's obviously gonna be a Fire Emblem character again so :P

blockfighter

Would love Crash Bandicoot. Or a Tekken character. Or any of the BOTW Champions.
Most likely outcome though it will be a character I've never heard of.

AMGer

Been stuck for months needing just 1 more spirit to complete the collection - can’t seem to get Megaman in the shop at all

Whoever the new DLC is I hope it’s not another sword wielding JRPG character

blockfighter

Steve from Minecraft. Disappointing!

Interestingly, with your name I thought you'd be quite pleased :P.

Well played

chrislad

I think it actually looks interesting. Not a Minecraft fan, but the levels and abilities looks actually different to what's there already!

CastorTroy

Oddly enough with the wide range of characters in Smash, these characters look the most out of place. Maybe it's just because of how polished all the others are and how smoothly they move

AMGer

I like it, as I said, happy it wasn’t another sword wielding JRPG character. Definitely something different and unexpected, so I’m good with that
