Yet two games later, Sonic is still the only playable character from his franchise Knuckles and Shadow are relegated to mere Assist Trophy status. Brawl brought the rumors to life, however, introducing the superfast hedgehog into the fray.
If you were around when Melee first came out, you likely heard the rumors: "Sonic is an unlockable character!" It wasn't true, of course, but the rumor mill will churn for as long as humanity walks the Earth. It doesn't matter so much that there are already two Street Fighter reps, yet with Kazuya being the second-to-last DLC, would Sakurai really add another fighting game character right after? Her iconic status and vastly different aesthetic compared to Kazuya's might be enough to override the doubt, but it still doesn't seem likely. To stick her in now, however, would be somewhat odd. Without a doubt, she's one of the most popular and recognizable characters in gaming. Were there to be one, Chun-Li is a sensible pick she's arguably the first lady of not only Street Fighter but fighting games in general. Why there haven't been any female fighting game characters, however, is a mystery. Complete with command inputs reminiscent of their own games, these characters feel unique even among Smash's diverse cast. Starting with the 3DS and Wii U iteration of Smash, several traditional fighting game characters have been added to the roster: Ryu and Ken from Street Fighter, Terry from Fatal Fury, and Kazuya from Tekken. RELATED: The First Online-Only EVO Is Exposing Just How Much Netcode Matters in Fighting Games It's what makes them work as a "single" character, and Nintendo isn't likely to pull the same stunt with 2B and A2. Though Zelda and Samus lost their switching abilities after Super Smash Bros. Hailing from Xenoblade Chronicles 2, the pair have a lot in common, differentiated mainly by their designs, speed, and special moves. Not that that hasn't been fixed before in Smash (see: Bayonetta), but it's still a family-friendly game. Though you can't freely switch between them in NieR: Automata, it's easy to imagine the androids 2B and A2 taking up a single spot on the Smash menu, what with their similar abilities-only, there are two problems. The switcheroo mechanic could also be done from the character select screen. Melee, she had an ability no other character did at the time: Hold down on the left joystick and hit B, and she'd transform into an entirely new (and far better, competitively speaking) fighter-Sheik. When Zelda was added to the roster in Super Smash Bros. The same goes for other genre icons like Crash Bandicoot, Jak and Daxter, and Sly Cooper. With Banjo & Kazooie filling out the 90s/2000s 3D platforming character spot, per se, it's hard to imagine Spyro getting in as well before the curtain closes. Genres represented in Smash aren't tied to one character each, but the DLC is generally more selective. So it'd make sense for Spyro to glide his way into Smash.
SUPER SMASH BROS. ULTIMATE DLC SERIES
Though the series arguably peaked with its original PlayStation trilogy, it went on to span many consoles over many years. Only so many succeeded, of course you hear about Super Mario 64 a bit more often than Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, right?Īmong the most successful were the Spyro games, starring the titular purple dragon and his dragonfly ally Sparx. Fun, easy to learn, and hard to master, it's no wonder every game developer under the sun tried their hand at the genre. Ultimate’s Next DLC Fighter Is 'Tekken's Kazuya MishimaģD platformers were the name of the game in the mid-/late 90s and early 2000s. (Seriously, take another look at the roster.) These are merely predictions, not meant to be definitive in any way. Remember, though: with Smash, nothing is truly off the table. Who's the last fighter going to be? Who isn't it going to be? It's impossible to say for sure (though with how common "leaks" are, maybe one of them is right!), but here are five possible and five implausible candidates. So, without a third Fighters Pass on the way, all eyes are now on Smash.
At the tail end of his latest presentation, however, series creator Masahiro Sakurai had a bittersweet message for fans: "he next DLC fighter will be the last one.
It's always exciting to try and predict who will join the roster next. Each and every fighter (not counting "Echo Fighters," or clones) has a distinct feel, meaning there's a lot to learn whether you're a competitive player or a casual one. With over 80 characters from across gaming history to choose from, along with music and stages from all the represented franchises, Super Smash Bros.
