Join Super #SmashBrosUltimate director Masahiro Sakurai on 1/16 at 6am PT for a roughly 35 minute video livestream featuring an in-depth look at an upcoming DLC fighter, which he will unveil in the video! pic.twitter.com/aOz0ilAiXU
This isn't a Direct. I already knew about this live stream but thanks to your thread I thought this was the fabled January Direct we're all waiting for.
With how random some of these characters have been it's anyone's guess. I do think it will be a third party character though to keep with the trend of this fighter pack.
I really hope it isn't Dante. I do think Geralt from The Witcher is a possibility. He has also appeared in Soul Calibur VI.
I do hope Fighter Pack 2 will feature some Nintendo first party characters again though. Since then we've had characters from ARMS, Rex from Xenoblade Chronicles 2, characters (Byleth?) from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, a host of new Pokemon, and Ring Fit Adventurer (anyone else kind of hoping for a quirky unexpected character like this?).
My guess for tomorrow is a character that Nintendo wouldn't feel that comfortable showing off at the Game Awards. So perhaps a very quirky and/or Japanese-centric character. Sounds good to me! Pretty much all my mains are that!
I think we have enough Pokemon and Fire Emblem, but there are still some 1st-party characters I'd love to see. Andy (Advance Wars), a Rhythm Heaven rep, and a long-overdue new Zelda character (Impa, Pig Ganon, or even Lynel would be my choices) would get more hyped than almost any third-party.
He'd be pretty cool, even though I'm not really into the latter-day Ninja Gaidens. Hopefully he'd pack his classic bright blue ninja gi from the NES era! Very stealthy!
@GameDadGrant Have they done any Tecmo characters yet?! I think it will be another company that has never had Smash rep yet, so this could be the case...
Alright, that's the shittiest character reveal in a long time. Pretty much as bad as a Pokémon. Good thing it's not the last. I think I'd rather sleep than keep watching this boring presentation, so I'm going to do that.
