A huge part of their appeal comes from their wacky casts of characters, casts that are only getting larger and more packed with crossovers thanks to ongoing DLC. We recently saw gameplay for two new characters coming to these games in just a few days. And they both make us laugh, albeit for different reasons.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with <em>Smash Bros<\/em>. because it&#8217;s maybe the funniest. Soon after launch we were promised five additional DLC characters in the Fighters Pass. And the first four were all pretty awesome and surprising third-party guest picks. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/games\/the-ultimate-super-smash-bros-character-guide-joker-1783489\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Joker<\/a> from <em>Persona 5<\/em>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/games\/the-ultimate-super-smash-bros-character-guide-hero-1798010\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Hero<\/a> from <em>Dragon Quest<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/games\/the-ultimate-super-smash-bros-character-guide-banjo-and-kazooie-1802958\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Banjo and Kazooie<\/a>, and <em>Fatal Fury\u2019s<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/games\/the-ultimate-super-smash-bros-character-guide-terry-bogard-1809529\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Terry Bogard<\/a>. However, that streak came to an end when the fifth fighter was revealed: Professor Byleth from <em>Fire Emblem: Three Houses<\/em>. Another anime swordsman. The eighth Fire Emblem character. The fifth one with blue hair. What a joke.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2aqVlLlKkcg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Still, I can\u2019t get so mad. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/games\/fire-emblem-three-houses-and-wolfenstein-youngblood-teach-the-youth-on-nintendo-switch-1797877\/\"  rel=\"noopener\"><em>Fire Emblem: Three Houses<\/em><\/a> was my runner-up game of the year so of course I\u2019m stoked to battle at Garreg Mach Monastery and listen to that music. Byleth\u2019s colors reflect different house leaders and characters (although not the new students of the hidden fourth DLC house). And their moveset mixes things up with a sacred lance, axe, and bow alongside the chain sword.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, other more creative characters like Altair and Ravings Rabbids at least got some Mii costume love. There\u2019s even a dope <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/games\/undertales-sans-is-basically-a-brand-new-smash-bros-fighter-1803088\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Sans-esque<\/a>\u00a0<em>Cuphead<\/em> costume complete with jazz music.
