While 2014’s Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U introduced the Smash series to DLC fighters, stages, and more, the series’ latest installment, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, has streamlined the process by releasing Fighters Passes containing an array of additional DLC fighters, stages, and music tracks. Now, Super Smash Bros Ultimate is well into Fighters Pass Vol. 2, with ARMS‘ Min Min, Steve from Minecraft, Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7, and the recently Pyra/Mythra from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 coming any day now.
And although Super Smash Bros. creator and director Masahiro Sakurai is scheduled to detail Pyra/Mythra in a Mr. Sakurai Presents video tomorrow morning, fans seem to already be speculating as to what could come after Pyra/Mythra. A Monster Hunter and Crash Bandicoot are among popular character requests at the moment, but some fans have been looking even further in the future after Fighters Pass Vol. 2, now finding possible evidence of a third Fighters Pass.
Despite many only expecting 6 additional characters (including Piranha Plant) after the game’s release, Sakurai surprised fans with the announcement of Fighters Pass Vol. 2 last January. However, a datamine has now given many a reason to suspect the release of a possible third, albeit smaller, Fighters Pass. In his most recent YouTube video, popular Smash speculation YouTuber PapaGenos mentioned that data regarding Super Smash Bros. Ultimate‘s stage select screen may point to 3 more DLC fighters.
After going over his own thoughts on a possible 4-in-1 Monster Hunter fighter, the YouTuber detailed an interesting follow-up to information from notable dataminer Mizumi from around Super Smash Bros. Ultimate‘s initial release. Mizumi’s datamine found 16 placeholder character slots in the game’s World of Light mode, and as of right now, 13 of those 16 slots seem to be filled, since Pyra/Mythra count as 2 separate characters in the game’s code. This leaves 3 extra dummy character slots in the World of Light mode’s code. The real new discovery however comes from Twitter user eriktaf, who reached out to PapaGenos noting that after Fighters Pass 2 is completed, there will be just 3 more empty stage slots on Ultimate‘s stage select screen.
If 3 more stage slots were to be filled after Fighters Pass Vol. 2, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate‘s stage select screen would be filled up perfectly. Before knowing that Pyra/Mythra would count as 2 separate fighters in the game’s code, it seemed that 4 more characters would need to fill up the remaining World of Light slots after Fighters Pass Vol. 2. While 4 more fighters with 4 stages wouldn’t fill the 3 leftover stage select slots nice and neatly, seeing that Pyra/Mythra count as 2 characters with 1 stage now would mean that a Fighters Pass Vol. 3 with 3 additional characters would conveniently fill up each remaining stage slot.
Of course, this is nothing more than a rather convoluted fan-theory at the moment and all of this information could be completely arbitrary, but one final mini Fighters Pass to round things out seems like just the type of thing Sakurai would to round out round Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Regardless, fans are eager to learn more info on Pyra/Mythra, as well as the character’s official release date in just a few short hours.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is available now exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
