A leading industry insider shared some new inside information regarding Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, revealing some details about DLC and a hacked character. The information comes from former Gamer Informer editor and current Kinda Funny Games presenter Imran Khan, who recently shared some insights and secrets for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate players at Reset Era. The most notable of this information involves one of the game’s recent DLC characters, Byleth, the protagonist of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and a character who, according to Khan, features a moveset based on another character that has been canceled.
Unfortunately, Khan does not disclose who this character is, but notes that they were canceled after negotiations for their appearance in the game failed. Adding to that, Khan ended speculation about a Monster hunter character coming into the game, as the developer behind the game is, or at least has been, set against your characters crossing over with other games. In other words, if you were waiting for a Monster hunter character to be added with the few remaining DLC slots, you can probably stop crossing your fingers.
Khan did not stop there. Returning to Byleth, he notes that the character was originally to be on the main list of the game. In other words, they were not a substitute for the character cut above. Instead, it just happened that way.
Finally, Khan notes that part of Min Min’s appeal being added as a DLC was that she was a Nintendo character, and therefore easier to add than a guest character. Meanwhile, Sephiroth was cheaper than it normally would be because Square Enix was eager to make the deal happen, which may explain why we got a second Final fantasy character before so many other highly requested characters from unrepresented series.
Of course, like all information of the unofficial and leaked type, everything here must be considered with a substantial grain of salt. Although Khan is reliable, nothing here is official and part of it is admittedly mixed with a touch of speculation.
At the time of publication, Nintendo, or any other party involved, commented on any of the above information. This will probably not change, but if it does, we will be sure to update the story with what is provided, salient or not. Meanwhile, for more coverage in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Click here.
