Super Smash Bros. UltimateDLC leaks are a dime a dozen, but this latest one may have more merit than others. It came about when a 4chan poster claimed to be Brew Elfen, someone who accurately leaked theSuper Smash Bros. UltimatePiranha Plant DLC. The impostor Brew Elfen claimed that the nextSuper Smash Bros. UltimateDLC character would be Jonesy fromFortnite, but then the real Brew Elfen went to Facebook to say that DLC 5 will actually be Ryu Hayabusa fromNinja Gaiden.
Elfen added thatRyu Hayabusawould be coming toSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatein 2019, which would likely mean a December 2019 release date for the character. However, it’s quite possible that Elfen was just joking in their post, as they also implied that Jonesy fromFortnitereally would be coming toSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateby posting a picture of the character.

Like any supposedSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateleak, fans should take it with a grain of salt. However, it’s still worth pointing out that this is far from the first time Ryu Hayabusa has been rumored forSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. In fact, Hayabusa’s name has been brought up for theSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateroster multiple times, though nothing official has come from it.
Of course, Ryu isn’t the only character rumored forSuper Smash Bros. UltimateDLC 5. Other rumors have pointed to Doom Guy joining the roster, or maybe even Waluigi. Others still claim that the nextSuper Smash Bros. UltimateDLC fighter will be aMonster Hunter from Capcom’s series of the same name. There is so much misinformation out there that it’s really impossible to say who the nextSuper Smash Bros. UltimateDLC fighter will be until Nintendo itself decides to make the announcement.
Really the nextSuper Smash Bros. UltimateDLC character could be just about anybody. Theinclusion of Banjo-Kazooieshows that Nintendo is willing to reach out to even its major console competitors when it comes to filling out the roster of its ambitious crossover fighting game, opening the door for virtually any character to be added as DLC. And the fact that Nintendo is adding even more DLC characters after it fulfills theSuper Smash Bros. UltimateFighters Pass means that we don’t even know how many DLC characters there will be when it’s all said and done.
When it comes to the nextSuper Smash Bros. UltimateDLC fighter, fans will just have to stay tuned for an official announcement.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimateis out now, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
