Fatal Fury’s Terry Bogard joins the fight in Nintendo’s iconic brawler.
UPDATE: A Nintendo Direct on October 1 revealed the next Smash Bros DLC fighter: four Minecraft characters in the form of Steve, Alex, Zombie and Enderman. Scroll down for more on the newest character coming to the game. Want more Smash Bros Ultimate DLC? We don’t blame you – Super Smash Bros Ultimate is the biggest, and possibly the best, Smash Bros fighting game to grace our Nintendo consoles. But if you’ve fought the main 74 Smash Bros Ultimate DLC characters to exhaustion, don’t worry – there’s a number of add-in fighters beyond the base roster, from fan-favorites like Banjo-Kazooie and Persona 5’s Joker to even more Fire Emblem characters (for some reason). We know that six new characters are coming in Fighters Pass Season 2, yet to be individually unveiled. Game director Masahiro Sakurai has spoken out on possible delays to the Smash Bros Ultimate DLC pipeline, so it’s not clear when the next DLC fighter will land. However, releases for the last Fighters Pass were seasonal, so we expect to see a new character every three months or so. Not every addition is as inspiring – and we’re still mad about Cuphead being relegated to a Mii Fighter – but with each character introducing new play-styles, moves, stages, and soundtracks, there’s plenty to get our teeth into. You can see our predictions for other, future fighters at the bottom of this guide too. For now, if you want to find out what downloadable content / Smash Bros Ultimate DLC players can hope to get, and what’s already available, here’s our list of everything on the cards – and how you can make sure you don’t miss out. The real draw of Smash Bros DLC is in the fighters. Nintendo has now unveiled all five fighters for the first Fighters Pass, which we’ve listed below from the latest (Byleth) to the first (Piranha Plant). We’ll be sure to add information on the next six fighters as and when it’s released. Min (available June 29) ARMS’ first fighter comes to Smash Bros on June 29 in the form of Min Min. You’ll control her arms with the A and B buttons, according to the new in-depth look at the fighter.18 tracks from ARMS are to be added with the fighter, too, offering the game a major presence in Smash Bros. Her Final Smash attack, too, features the entire ARMS roster. Byleth (available for download) Byleth is the lead character from 2019’s Fire Emblem: Three Houses, a recent entry in the Fire Emblem military tactics game. You’ll be able to choose male or female version of the character – both named Byleth – which is refreshing, and something we’d love to see for more fighters on the roster.
