Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Director is Hiding Future Fighters in an Interesting Place

The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate fighter presentation today showed off everything players need to know about Pyra and Mythra, the latest fighters coming as part of the Fighter Pass Vol. 2. Alongside the duo’s moveset, fans also got confirmation that Pyra and Mythra would release later today, most likely around 9:00 p.m. ET.

However, this Super Smash Bros. Ultimate showcase gave fans a bit more information about some behind-the-scenes elements of the game’s development process. During the presentation, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai revealed he keeps figurines of unreleased fighters in the Fighter Passes hidden in a locked drawer somewhere in his studio offices.

It was revealed during a segment of the presentation in which Sakurai took time to display some detailed figurines of Pyra and Mythra from Xenoblade Chronicles 2. The camera then began to pan through an entire collection of figurines based off various Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC fighters, and some series staple fighters, that are part of Sakurai’s collection. Sakurai noted he uses these as references when developing Smash Bros. fighters, as figurines are able to provide accurate representations of character models and textures. Sakurai even gave an example, saying the figurines help developers see unusual details like the bottoms of character’s feet.

It’s always intriguing to hear about how players’ favorite games are developed, especially when they involve Nintendo properties – largely in-part due to Nintendo’s overall secrecy when it comes to how its games are made. Sakurai also revealed some interesting information regarding how Smash Bros. Ultimate‘s CGI trailers are made, saying he often creates scripts for how the trailers will play out. This time, however, Sakurai entrusted Monolith Soft to create Pyra and Mythra’s reveal trailer.

Aside from Pyra and Mythra, fans also got a look at some new Mii Fighter costumes coming to the game soon. Sakurai revealed Monster Hunter Mii costumes for Ultimate, including armor sets based off the Rathalos and a Felyne helmet. Additionally, fans saw the inclusion of an armor set based off of Arthur from Ghosts n’ Goblins to celebrate the release of Ghosts n’ Goblins: Resurrection on Switch. Four new Mii Fighter costumes are releasing as separate purchases alongside Pyra and Mythra later today.

It won’t be much longer before the Xenoblade Chronicles series has its second representative in Smash Bros., with the first being Shulk from the original Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii. While some Smash Bros. fans may be upset that another sword fighter has made their way into Smash, Pyra and Mythra’s movesets seem to offer something different from many other characters in the roster. Hopefully, players will have fun discovering the true power of the Aegis in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is available now for Nintendo Switch.
