Halo’s Master Chief has been the choice of many people’s dreams for reaching Super Smash Bros Ultimate as one of the final DLC fighters. Now, fans are getting dizzy after Walmart seemed to suggest or even leak Spartan’s potential place in the game.
Fans have been supporting Master Chief’s coming to Smash since Nintendo and Microsoft worked together to bring Banjo into the game as a DLC fighter. The two companies would collaborate again to help add Minecraft Steve to the fighting show in Fighters Pass Volume 2.
Seeing how the two giants of the games seem to have a strong relationship, the possibility of Master Chief, the face of the Xbox, having the chance to battle with Mario, Sonic and other giants has been on people’s minds for some time.
Now, Walmart Canada has joined the speculation and some fans are taking it as confirmation that Master Chief is definitely getting into the fight.
Happy birthday, 117! We actually have something to celebrate for John.

On March 7, Halo tweeted a happy birthday message to the franchise’s face. “Another return to the sun, another year full of adventures. Happy birthday, Master Chief! ” they said.
Then Walmart replied: “Happy birthday, 117! We actually have something to celebrate for John. I just need an address … ”
Accompanying this message was a photo of an invitation from Smash Ultimate. The fans immediately went into a frenzy.
Someone will get screams from Nintendo later.

“If Walmart, of all people, is the one who leaks Master Chief in SSBU, I will laugh so hard,” replied one player.
“Good news about Master Chief being at Halo,” another applauded.
“Someone is getting screams from Nintendo later,” commented one user, suggesting that Walmart leaked some inside information.
Master Chief could be the biggest Smash reveal of all time.
While this tweet may seem like a good indicator for Master Chief, it is more than likely that the account administrator was just having a little fun. The Walmart Canada account is managed by Riley Little, who happens to be a big fan of Smash Ultimate and an advocate for a Halo representative coming into the game.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like Halo is any closer to reaching Smash, although that doesn’t mean Microsoft is opposed to the idea.
Even though Halo did not respond to Walmart’s tweet, Xbox France responded to a fan who wondered if Master Chief would ever come to Smash stating that “he is still waiting for the invitation”.
In any case, we will have to see what the future holds, especially considering that only two seats remain on the Fighters Pass Volume 2 and a third has yet to be confirmed, although the data suggests that a third could very well be underway.
