Ultimate rumour – likely because the majority that find their way to the internet are completely bogus nonsense – but here's one that might just have something going for it.
A Reddit user going by the name of RiuBert has theorised that the game's second batch of DLC, the 'Super Smash Bros.Ultimate Fighters Pass Vol.
2', could well be getting a bonus seventh character on top of the six slots that have already been promised2
With the first set of DLC characters, from Piranha Plant to the first Fighters Pass' final addition, Byleth, the DLC codes are ordered chronologically from 70050000008501 to 70050000008506.
Following on from that is the bonus Rex Mii costume offered to those who purchase the first Fighters Pass, which ends in '8507'.
Now, things get a little more interesting when we look at Fighters Pass Vol?This time, though, the Pass' bonus Ancient Helm + Gear costume reward isn't listed directly afterwards, having an NSUID of 70050000018974, rather than ending with '18973'.
It would appear, then, that Nintendo has something still to be announced following the sixth DLC fighter?Immediate, over-excited thoughts jump to a potential seventh fighter, which could well be true, although it could also relate to an echo fighter, another bonus costume, or something else entirely.
What do you think!Could you see Nintendo pulling out a surprise character to end things with a bang.
Unconvinced this is a new character, if only because that would suggest Nintendo had always planned for seven - in that case, why announce six.Ultimate has been so popular that it would make a lot of sense to keep the DLC going.
I may not have liked Fighter Pass 2's picks as much as I would of liked, but Sakurai and the Smash Bros dev team have been so dedicated to Ultimate that I feel asking for more just feels bad?I think we will get a 3rd fighter pass with 4 echoes based on fighters we've gotten over the last couple years.I think this mystery code could be all 4 echoes in one bundle.
I think the last fighter should be none other than Satoru Iwata as a tribute.I think he would love the gesture.
He could use various Nintendo hardware like the Wiimote as weapons and of course be wearing his usual dark suit and tie.
Gooigi the Luigi echo fighter.Hm, there being 6 characters rather than 5 in Fighter's Pass 2 already seems like a 'bonus' one, so I don't know if they'll do another one on top of that.If I had to guess, probably something else to celebrate the completion of SSBU (maybe a free mii costume or something - as the article points out, Rex's costume already accounts for one of the IDs, so its not guaranteed to be a fighter) or an extra little reward for people who bought both Fighter's Passes.
How about a target mode while we’re on the topic of smash ultimateSephiroth Challenge seemed like a lot of work just to be a 5 day event so I think it could be part of a larger mode that's released at the end of the pass
Nintendo don't do secret characters and they certainly wouldn't put a secret character in a fighters pass that promises a select number of characters
Eggman ends up playable, I only hope that Sakurai will be able to add in Shadow the Hedgehog as a bonus Echo Fighter with Two Spin Dashes (or one of them replaced with Chaos Spear), and Chaos Control replacing the Spring move, and an Explosion effect added to the final blow of Super Shadow, thanks to Chaos Blast
If a 7th fighter happens, great, but I'm not getting my hopes up
