How does the saying go? "The hype train has no brakes"? With a second Fighters Pass well under way for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, six more characters will get to join the fight by the end of next year. And we even know of the first newcomer already! ...Or at least which game they're from.
But that has left the Smash community wondering: Who else will be chosen to join Ultimate's second season of DLC? Does the surprise reveal that an ARMS character is headlining Vol. 2 change anything, or will this selection of fighters follow a similar pattern as the previous set? Let's take a look.
For this part, we'll be covering which third party characters are most worth considering for Smash over the next year and a half. Potential guest fighters have been a widespread topic for all of Ultimate's DLC run, with talk of which crossovers could happen next sometimes monopolizing speculation. Smash's decision process isn't as simple as chasing headlines, though, with makes this topic much more nuanced than it may initially seem.
