[The official4th DLC fighter for Smashhas been officially revealed. The original story follows.]
Microsoft’s Banjo-Kazooie will be joining theSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatelater this fall, but after their addition, there are still two DLC characters on the Fighters Pass currently left to be revealed. PriorSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateleakshave indicated that, following every fighter currently known, could potentially be DOOM Guy fromDOOM, Steve from Minecraft, or Ryu Hayabusa fromNinja Gaiden. Now, a reputable leaker has followed up.
IAmShifty, who has leaked reliable information in the past such as the addition of Piranha Plant, claims to know who will follow Banjo-Kazooie as an addition toSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. In other words, he’s claiming that slot 4 on the Fighter Pass will be the aforementioned Ryu Hayabusa. Assuming the information is true, this means that fans ofNinja Gaidencan now know when to expect the character, and IAmShifty even hinted at the reveal of Ryu Hayabusa.

The leaker said that, whenever Nintendo revealsSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateinfo next, it’ll be the reveal of Ryu Hayabusa, and he used a Nintendo Direct as an example. Interestingly enough, rumors have indicated that there would be a Direct sometime next week, so Ryu’s announcement and Banjo-Kazooie’s precise release date could be coming soon.
On the other hand, the Nintendo Direct could be taking a look at something outsideSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate.Link’s Awakeningis coming out later this month and would be a prime contender to dominate the Direct, but even more so, many are expectingOverwatchto be announced for the Nintendo Switch. Considering the merch that has leaked, this seems to be a highly likely scenario.
Whether IAmShifty is right or not will be revealed alongside the nextSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatecharacter, which should happen sooner rather than later, but there are a ton of theories out there that exclude Ryu. For example, because of the aforementioned potential crossover, many think thatTracer is coming toSmash Bros. Ultimate.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimateis out now, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
