If you didn’t have a reason to watch The Game Awards today, Nintendo might have just given you one. The next character to be added to the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster through the Fighters Pass volume 2 will be revealed tonight, during the show. If you want to watch the reveal live, then tune into The Game Awards, which kick off at 4pm PT.

Okay what is the age demographic on this site? I mean fortnite is far from my first choice but you guys are acting like it's some sort of virus destroying the whole concept of video games. Y'all did the same thing with Minecraft

As long its not another pixel-block-like character, but its Nintendo after all we might get trolled with paper Mario and ppl will find a way to approve it.

 

[DerpDingus]

My sources tell me its Seaman from SEAMAN

 

[limpbiz411]

i'm guessing it would be a Nintendo lawyer, think of how ruthless he would be.

Tbh after Steve was revealed it feels like there are no rules as to who could come

 

[Julie_Pilgrim]

Scott Pilgrim joins the fight!

I see you are a man of culture as well

 

[wartutor]

God this game isnt dead after all the drama in that scene. Kids play the dumbest things now and days. I gave smash about a day of my time after that bored as fuck games a hot steamy pile of monkey dung.

It's not like as if there will absolutely be no rules for that. The most significant one still in play is:

• The character has to be from a video game franchise.

That means that we should never expect to see characters that originate from books, movies, TV shows, any non-interactive cartoon or anime, or music videos. I always wait until a character or franchise is officially announced by Nintendo, as they (and anyone else affiliated with them) are the only entity that can make changes to the official Smash Bros. roster. This doesn't have to open if Smash Ultimate was free/open-source software, as forks/mods/remixes can then contain any characters, even if they're not from a video game franchise.

(or maybe I didn't get the joke(s)?)

Well I was exaggerating a little

I'd personally love to see Rex w/Pyra and Mythra, or KOS-MOS.

But I'm fully expecting Sora or Crash Bandicoot. I'd personally be underwhelmed by the former, and super excited for the latter.

Edit
I still think Rillaboom is going to make it in this season, too.

 

[osaka35]

I just look forward to the salt. No matter what character it is, there's always going to be a bunch of people delivering more salt than the seven seas combined.

does this mean you're guessing Shanti?

 

[DeMoN]

I don't like it but it's gonna be a Fortnite character.

 

[Magnus87]

I cant wait!

My DLC BINGO....

Red= Wrong prediction (I voted for Twintelle)
Green= Right prediction
Yellow= It has to be the franchise but I don't know if it's the right character

 

[Worldblender]

The announcement didn't mention any character or franchise in particular, so I'm just waiting until the official reveal to find out more. Only that another fighter + associated things would be revealed.

I don't like it but it's gonna be a Fortnite character.

I don't make any guesses on what franchise will appear. When whatever is officially revealed, I just go along with them.
