Terry Bogard made a brilliant addition to Smash’s catalogue, and he serves as a wonderful love letter to long-term fighting game fans. It’s also hard to deny how garish and generic the character designs for the two are, making them some of the least interesting options in Smash. While the double up of two characters (and fighting speeds) in one is cool, it didn’t help that Pyra and Mythra added yet more sword swingers to the mix.
#SMASH ULTIMATE DLC SERIES#
Xenoblade Chronicles has only grown in popularity since Shulk’s started “really feeling it!” in Smash Wii.U, which meant the series getting another representative wasn’t all that much of a surprise. But when the announcement came, there was no escaping the fact that this was yet another Fire Emblem representative in a game which had seven already. Switching between weapons and ranges, Byleth also filled a unique and unusual role within Smash’s heavyweight class. It was great to get an animated sequence spoofing the game’s story, and the reveal even made a self-aware nod toward fan complaints over sword wielders. BylethĪnother Fire Emblem character? Seriously? You could almost hear the cries of despair echo across the internet as Three Houses’ Byleth made her debut. But hey, at least we got the glorious imagery of Captain falcon enjoying noodles next to Kirby. It was just a late addition, and an odd choice of character to pick at that (Twintelle, anyone?). Would this tie into a sequel reveal or even some surprise DLC for Arms? Er, no. But by the time Min Min was dramatically unveiled, Arms was three years old and everyone – seemingly even Nintendo included – had all but forgotten about its stretchy showdowns. Yes, Arms was an official Nintendo title and a cool new IP at that.

Min Min was probably the strangest DLC choice for Smash Ultimate, and that’s including Piranha Plant. Easily the weakest DLC character reveal, even if the garden pot dweller gathered an impressively fervent following after release. If Waluigi fans want to blame anyone for his absence, pick this guy. The series is famous for highlighting the stars of multiple franchises, which meant a random addition to bolster Super Mario’s already numerous character list felt especially weird.
#SMASH ULTIMATE DLC FREE#
Offered up as a free bonus for anyone who picked up Ultimate early, the sharp-toothed Mario enemy left most of us perplexed as to what exactly it was doing in Smash. Pre-order DLC isn’t popular at the best of times, but Piranha Plant has to be one of the weirdest implementations we’ve seen. Every Smash Ultimate character reveal, ranked Ultimate DLC character reveal trailer, starting with the damp squibs of Smash and ending on the S-tier showstoppers. But as we look back at the 12 extra fighters added over the last three years, which one do you think made the grandest entrance? Join us as we rank every Super Smash Bros. The addition of Kingdom Hearts’ Keyblade warrior means Smash Ultimate’s DLC doors have finally slammed shut.
