While this month's Nintendo Direct turned out to be Pokemon-focused, that won't be the end of Nintendo related news for January. A Super Smash Bros. Ultimate livestream presentation will take place soon, giving us 35-minutes of pure Smash Bros. goodness. Most importantly, a new DLC fighter will be revealed at the end of the stream, so fans will certainly want to catch the big announcement! You can tune in on January 16th, at 15:00 CET/14:00 UK time.

It'll be a character from an upcoming remake of a Square Enix game, the rep will be from Trials of Mana.

People are forgetting the one character who deserves it. Oersted from Live-A-Live.

I think I'm one of the, like, 6 people in the world who'd actually love this

I bet on Geralt. With the live action of The Witcher, the timing is perfect.

I still wish for Joshua from TWEWY though...

35-minutes is insanely long for a hero announcement, and it's not like we need another video to recap all the characters' abilities (not that we needed the first one either!); the game is already out!

Therefore, it MUST be something a bit bigger. I'm curious what they have in store. Honestly, the hype around SSBU wore off quickly for me, but I think it is already a very complete game. I'm surprised there is something they deemed worth continuing development on, considering multiplayer is the main appeal for SSB. Unless it's a major overhaul of the crappy online service, in which case this is long overdue!

Or it'll be like the Terry video, where it's 70% Easter eggs/minor details?

It probably is Chorus Kids. Who knows.

It's about time, it's not Dante, it's Byleth.

 

[AkiraKurusu]

Doomslayer
Lara Croft
Geno
Ryu Hayabusa

I think those stand as the current front runners, maybe Crash Bandicoot too But I'm always ready to be surprised when it comes to Smash.

Hopefully not her; such a shitty character. Might as well put Nathan Drake in, if she's somehow a viable pick.

I'd pick Rex from Xenoblade 2. Or the main character from Astral Chain, since Bayonetta's already in. Maybe Amaterasu? Spyro?

 

[eyeliner]

It's gonna be Trump.

Do the Chorus Kids do anything except appearing in the credits of Rhythm Heaven?

Depending on the game they also appear in minigames.

Yet another FE Character, hopefully Dante will join later, Byleth is probably a pick favored by Sakurai because of them being able to use a lance, axe and bow.

More like an Ultimate letdown.

R.I.P. Doom Guy for Smash...

Doom Guy could be one of the next six fighters in development.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

At least now Sakurai can shut up the fans who wanted Ephraim and/or Hector in.

Sure hoped so. Nobody in their right mind asked for a fucking piranha plant, I know that much.

Throwback/"who wanted this?" are kind of a Smash tradition, right? Ice Climbers and G&W, R.O.B. and Pit, and Duck Hunt.

 

[MasterBlaster13b]

It's Byleth
