A Smash Ultimate fan who correctly predicted that Min Min, Steve and Sephiroth would come as Fighters Pass Volume 2 DLC still has three more assumptions that can tell us who the remaining characters are.
Super Smash Bros Ultimate has the largest cast of fighters of any game, with characters of all different types and genres. It seems that almost no video game character is off limits, which makes these predictions even more special.
Players predicting certain DLC fighters are nothing new. It seems that everyone under the sun has already made assumptions at some point. Of these, many hit one or two, especially when there is some hint of who might be next.
However, the fact that this anonymous user was able to correctly predict three of the DLC so far in a single post is astronomical to the point that the individual even has some ties to Nintendo.
The user correctly predicted all DLCs, including Sephiroth.
The May 11 post was made on a message board in which users were asked to predict the six fighters on the second pass. In addition to the three the user has already hit, he also guessed who the other three final fighters will be.
First, the anonymous prophet listed Ryu Hayabusa from the Ninja Gaiden series. Ryu has been a fan favorite popular candidate and it has long been rumored that he would come to Smash.
Given Nintendo’s relationship with Koei Tecmo, the protagonist of Ninja Gaiden seems like a pretty safe choice, even by Smash standards.
Doomguy, Rayman and Ryu Hayabusa are planned.
The next two predictions come from Western developers, which is a rarity to see in Smash Bros. The user’s two choices were Rayman and Doomguy.
Rayman is a character that Ubisoft has stated that they would like to see added to Smash at some point. A message on the Ubisoft Club app went so far as to state: “I hope Rayman will be part of the next Fighters Pass”, following Byleth’s announcement.
Doomguy, of course, needs no introduction and, like many developers, Bethesda discussed the possibility of the character coming to Smash, although it seems that nothing happened from those conversations with Nintendo.
Fans are still looking forward to Doomslayer coming to Smash.
Notably absent from the predictions are Master Chief and Crash Bandicoot, two iconic video game mascots that many fans want to see join the list at some point.
We’ll have to wait and see if the rest of the predictions turned out to be accurate, but so far, the user’s assumptions have been just perfect.
