Smash Bros. Direct: Even Non-Players Should Watch, Director Hints

Speaking about the final Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC fighter announcement, director and series creator Masahiro Sakurai asks that everyone watch the character's reveal - even non-players. The last Super Smash Bros. Ultimate character's reveal is scheduled for October 5 at 7 AM PT/10 AM ET, and Sakurai will reveal the fighter's moveset and accompanying stage during the presentation. The Fighters Pass characters so far have hailed from a variety of franchises, ranging from Final Fantasy VII villain Sephiroth to Banjo-Kazooie of retro Nintendo platformer fame.

The last addition to the Super Smash Bro. Ultimate roster could be anyone, though some leakers suggest they've closed in on the final DLC character. Following the announcement of the upcoming fighter reveal, one leaker cites alleged Nintendo and Disney Music licensing talks in claiming the final Smash Bros. fighter will be Kingdom Hearts' Sora. While that prospect remains unconfirmed, some players are still holding out for other highly requested characters like Geno, Master Chief, Crash Bandicoot, Waluigi, and others.

A tweet by Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai hints that everyone should watch the last Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC character reveal, regardless of whether or not they're fans of the game. Linking to Tuesday's scheduled Super Smash Bros. YouTube stream, he stated (as translated by Google), “In one day, the final fighter of [Super Smash Bros. Ultimate] will be announced. Even if you don't play Smash Bros., if you are interested in the game, please watch it.” In a reply, Sakurai also remarked, “The new fighter may be a character you don’t know, and each one may be different from the character you are free to expect. However, I hope you enjoy the broadcast itself as a game program. I also enjoyed recording it.”

Exactly who the the tweets point to isn't clear, but some believe the director is warning Sora won't be Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's final DLC character. If Sakurai has caught wind of the rumors that the final character will be from Kingdom Hearts, it’s possible he could be trying to protect players from disappointment. There have also been potential hints that more Super Smash Bro. Ultimate DLC characters are inbound, and Sakurai’s wording in his post perhaps indicates something similar, as the auto-translation states “each one may be different.” However, it's probable he was referring to the other characters revealed thus far.

Sakurai seems understandably excited to unveil the final Super Smash Bros. Ultimate character. Nintendo may pull out all the stops to make the final DLC character’s reveal the biggest of the series, but it's also possible it could go like the others with a narrated gameplay demonstration by Sakurai. For the director to ask people less familiar with the series to watch the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate presentation, it indicates the reveal is something he thinks isn't worth missing.
