Top 10 Smash Ultimate DLC Wish List

Top 10 Smash Ultimate DLC Wish List

It all seemed so far away at the time, but as we get into 2020, all of the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Character Pack DLC characters have been released. It’s quite a variety as well, including multiple guest characters like Persona 5 ‘s Joker, Banjo-Kazooie ‘s, um, Banjo and Kazooie, and SNK’s Terry Bogard. We also finally got some Dragon Quest hype, and… capped everything off with another Fire Emblem character.

But not all hope is lost, folks who are disappointed by Byleth and their swoopy-haired friends! Sakurai announced a whole second Character Pack DLC is on the way, and this time it’ll have six characters. So, it’s time to make some suggestions.

This list contains the best and brightest of the Nintendo stable, a cast of characters that not only comprise fan-favorites and more obscure stars, but those that are most likely to appear.

Here goes!

Lyndis

Lyndis

When Super Smash Bros . was really just coming into its own, two characters nobody in the west had ever heard of before stood out in the roster. Marth and Roy would soon become (sort of) household names, but when Fire Emblem was finally localized, neither character was present. And as time went on, the “first” Fire Emblem was never truly represented outside of little extras. It’s time to right that wrong. Let’s get Lyndis in there, after all she’s the first Fire Emblem character many friends encountered outside of Smash .

Hector

Hector

Hey, while we’re at it, let’s drop another one of the GBA greats into the mix. Lyndis was the first character who was introduced to prospective Fire Emblem fans, but Hector was the guy who was there for the real Gs who got gud. Hector was the lead in the game’s third, and most difficult, scenario. He was cool, because he wielded an axe as if it was a little toy, but still looked like a suave and sleek anime boy.

Ryoma

Ryoma

I don’t know much about Ryoma. He was in that one game Nintendo put out like three versions of on the 3DS, and I managed to miss all three of them. But he seems like a pretty cool guy. He looks like a Dynasty Warriors character, but with more pretty boy anime charm. He also does this while having the same haircut as Raditz, so that should make some of the people who wanted Goku in Smash feel a little bit better. Consider him a consolation prize.

Raditz was Goku’s brother and kinda the first boss of Dragon Ball Z, by the way. Raditz is in a lot more video games than Ryoma though, so this guy needs to catch up.

Claude

Claude

Claude is a lovely dude who cracks a lot of jokes and shoots a bow real good. I never played his route though, so it wasn’t very clear what his whole deal was. Perhaps an appearance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate could shed a little light on what his style really is, besides being kind of aloof and dreamy. Maybe that’s enough, now that I think about it. Also, he’s upside down on his own game’s box art, so Nintendo kinda did Claude dirty there. A Smash appearance would make up for that.

Alfonse

Alfonse

Alfonse is a hero who has traveled through multiple Nintendo dimensions. By multiple, I just mean two, since he was briefly in Dragalia Lost . Anyway, Alfonse doesn’t get the same kind of love a lot of his peers do, which is a shame because he really stands out. If he was included in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate , I think Alfonse would be a really distinct roster edition and quickly become a fan-favorite, despite his more niche status. There isn’t really anyone else in the game like him.

Eliwood

Eliwood

Roy’s our boy, and also he’s Eliwood’s boy. Because Eliwood is Roy’s old man. He basically looks like Roy, but uses a big ol’ smashin’ sword instead of a little fancy one like Marth and Roy do. So like, how about an Echo Fighter that has a little more nuance to him? Maybe give him a Final Smash with a horse or something. I dunno, I just think some cool father and son Smash Bros . humor could go a long way. Plus, imagine how great it would be to play a team match as the two ginger boys on the Red Team. That’s good stuff, yo.

Dimitri

Dimitri

Dimitri is kind of a cop, but he’s also the perfect kind of cop for a fighting game. He went mad with vengeance, maybe lost his eye, and stopped washing his hair. He has the whole shebang. He’s like Solid Snake, but with all the flaws, none of the good parts, and also more flaws. He starts out as kinds clean cut, as pictured here, but really, Nintendo needs to lean on the gross, miserable failure angle from the second half of Fire Emblem: Three Houses .

Edelgard

Edelgard

Edelgard is the queen. She is the correct choice. The empress I totally voted for with my decision-making, Edelgard is the true hero of Fire Emblem: Three Houses and I won’t hear otherwise. Sure, it’s a little weird that her angle is to murder everyone who gets in the way and take over the evil empire, but also this is a video game set in a school run by a church that commits war crimes for fun. The world is a little messed up, but Edelgard wants to right the ship a little. Nothing but respect for my President.

Tsubasa

Tsubasa

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE just re-released on the Nintendo Switch, and it’s a tremendous game. It’s one of my favorite modern RPGs, and that’s mostly because of how wild it is. It’s very genuine and loud about it, and I respect the hell out of that. Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore definitely deserves some representation, and Tsubasa would be the most logical choice since she’s basically the main character. But any of the cast would be great, especially Kiria. Or just do both; both would be good. Their big duet could be the Final Smash.

Feh

Feh

Feh is an owl that delivers presents. She is a very nice girl, and I always appreciate when she gives me mail. She even holds it until I’m ready to pick it up. She does that for everyone else too, all from her little perch. I wonder how she carries all that mail without dropping any? It’s truly impressive. Plus, she hosts all the announcement videos. Wait, what were we talking about again?
