Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is arguably the definitive iteration\u00a0of Smash<\/em>, including every past character from previous games, adding long awaited characters like Ridley and Banjo & Kazooie, and even bringing\u00a0some unexpected\u00a0surprises like\u00a0Minecraft<\/em>‘s Steve and Sephiroth from\u00a0Final Fantasy 7<\/em>. Now, with 3 more slots to be filled in\u00a0Super Smash Bro Ultimate<\/em><\/a>‘s Fighters Pass Vol. 2, there are more questions than ever as to who will join the all-star roster.<\/p>\n

The latest iteration of\u00a0Smash<\/em> introduced a new feature known as Spirits, the battle-aiding power-ups which have given representation to many series in\u00a0Super Smash\u00a0Bros. Ultimate<\/i>. While characters like the Mach Rider and Shantae may not make it into\u00a0Smash<\/em> as playable fighters, at least they live on in the celebration of video games in some form as Spirits. However, Spirits have also introduced some new fan rules to many, potentially deconfirming many fan-requested characters, and\u00a0a new\u00a0Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity<\/em> Spirit Board event<\/a> has deconfirmed one highly-requested\u00a0Zelda<\/em> character as DLC\u00a0in the eyes of many.<\/p>\n

Over the years, fan rules have dictated speculation, completely ruling out playable characters\u00a0like Geno due to the inclusion of his Mii Costume in Smash Ultimate<\/em><\/a>\u00a0or even Shadow the Hedgehog and\u00a0Golden Sun<\/em>‘s Isaac\u00a0due to being\u00a0Assist Trophies. However, newer fan rules have\u00a0to do with Spirits and\u00a0Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/em>‘s Spirit Board events.<\/p>\n

Many fans have decided two things when it comes to Spirits, the first being that if a character not yet available as a playable fighter already has a Spirit in\u00a0Ultimate<\/em>, that Spirit is their representation in Smash<\/em>\u00a0and thus rules\u00a0them out from being added as DLC.\u00a0The second Spirit fan rule is\u00a0that since\u00a0Ultimate<\/em> seems to hold off on releasing series’ Spirit Board events for when a particular\u00a0series’ DLC fighter is added to the game,\u00a0a character whose series has already had a Spirit Board event is also ruled out.<\/p>\n

The release of\u00a0Min Min last June disproved the fan rule that characters who already have Spirits won’t be made playable, giving some fans hope that a character like Paper Mario could still be added to the game. However, many considered Paper Mario to be deconfirmed\u00a0when a\u00a0Paper Mario: The Origami King<\/em> Spirit Board event<\/a> was held last August, since many assume it means the developer\u00a0wasn’t holding off on releasing a\u00a0Paper Mario<\/em> Spirit Board for the character’s playable release. Now, many fear that\u00a0Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity<\/em>‘s Impa may suffer the same fate.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

It would be an understatement to say that fans want\u00a0Impa in\u00a0Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/em>, with some going as far as\u00a0creating entire movesets for the character to mod her into\u00a0past Smash<\/em> games.\u00a0However, there’s\u00a0no denying that\u00a0Zelda<\/em> characters are complicated, with there being more than several iterations for characters like Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf,<\/a> and Impa is no different. In almost every\u00a0Zelda<\/em> game, Impa has appeared as either a village elder, a nursemaid to princess\u00a0Zelda<\/em>, or a younger, agile protector and aid to the princess. It goes without saying that the latter is the iteration of Impa that many fans have requested to see in\u00a0Smash<\/em>, and a new young Impa in\u00a0Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity<\/em>\u00a0seemed to increase the character’s likelihood of making it in as DLC.<\/p>\n

While many of\u00a0Ultimate<\/em>‘s DLC characters have come from series\u00a0that are new to\u00a0Smash<\/em>, DLC fighters\u00a0like Byleth<\/a> and Sephiroth have shown that characters\u00a0from series that already have playable fighters can still be added to the game, which led many to note that it has been quite a while since a new\u00a0Zelda<\/em> representative was added to\u00a0<\/i>Smash<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Initially, many fans thought that Zelda from\u00a0Breath\u00a0of the Wild<\/i> was the most likely choice for a DLC character from the series, being that\u00a0a sequel to the game is already on the way, and multiple versions of the same character in\u00a0Smash<\/em> is not unheard of, especially when it comes to Link. But recently, the introduction of Impa’s latest iteration\u00a0drew fans to advocate even stronger for the addition of the princess’ loyal protector instead.<\/p>\n

Impa’s representation in the Smash<\/em> series has been rather scattered, not even receiving anything so much\u00a0as an Assist Trophy in the series<\/a>. In\u00a0Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U<\/em>, different iterations of Impa from Skyward Sword<\/em> and\u00a0Ocarina of Time<\/em>\u00a0appeared as\u00a0trophies in the game, essentially ruling out the character from being added as DLC. In\u00a0Super Smash\u00a0Bros. Ultimate<\/i>, Impa from Ocarina of Time<\/em>\u00a0was added as a Spirit, and while that initially deconfirmed the character for some fans, hope was restored when Min Min gracefully broke that\u00a0first Spirit fan rule. But now\u00a0it seems\u00a0that Impa’s chances may once again\u00a0take a big blow thanks to the\u00a0second Spirit fan rule.<\/p>\n

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/em>‘s\u00a0most recent Spirit Board event, an Impa (Age of Calamity<\/em>) Spirit was added to the game along with Master Kohga and Diminutive Guardian Spirits. While the latter two characters aren’t\u00a0highly requested for\u00a0Smash<\/em>, Impa’s inclusion as a Spirit came to the dismay of many fans, since if the Impa from\u00a0Age of Calamity<\/em> were to be added to\u00a0Ultimate<\/em> as a DLC fighter, it is highly likely that an Age of Calamity<\/em> Spirit Board event\u00a0would have been saved for her playable release. Now, with two different Spirits in\u00a0Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/em>,<\/a> Impa’s chances of being added to the game seem lower than ever.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

If fans of the series have learned anything, it is that\u00a0Super Smash Bros.<\/em> is anything if not surprising<\/a>. Time and time again, fan expectations have been blown out of the water, especially with\u00a0Ultimate<\/em>. So, while Impa’s chances of being added to\u00a0Super Smash\u00a0Bros. Ultimate<\/i> as a DLC fighter seem rather dire, there is always a chance that Sakurai makes an exception for the popular Zelda<\/em>\u00a0character, but how could that play out? Of course, there are the chances that Ultimate<\/em> breaks the second Spirit fan rule by adding\u00a0Impa from\u00a0Hyrule Warriors:\u00a0<\/em>Age of Calamity<\/em> anyway, but for now,\u00a0while an\u00a0Age of Calamity<\/em> Spirit Board event may rule out the character\u00a0from\u00a0Smash<\/em>‘s roster, it’s important to note that there are other iterations of Impa that could be added to\u00a0the game.<\/p>\n

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/em> made a big change to many\u00a0Zelda<\/em> characters<\/a> in the game, altering some of their appearances\u00a0to represent different games in the franchise. While some characters’ appearances didn’t change,\u00a0Link was changed to represent\u00a0Breath\u00a0of the Wild<\/i>, Zelda was changed to represented\u00a0A\u00a0Link Between Worlds<\/i>, and\u00a0Ganondorf was changed to represent\u00a0Ocarina of Time<\/em>. These changes made\u00a0it clear that\u00a0Smash<\/em> is focused on representing the diversity of the series, so adding Impa from another Zelda<\/em> game\u00a0as a DLC fighter could play into this as well.<\/p>\n

Although Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/em> has held\u00a0different\u00a0Zelda<\/em>-themed Spirit Board events, there have not yet been\u00a0events focusing on either\u00a0Ocarina of Time <\/i>or\u00a0Skyward Sword<\/em> specifically. Min Min breaking the first Spirit fan rule\u00a0could prove helpful\u00a0for Impa here, having her join the\u00a0Ultimate<\/em> as her\u00a0Ocarina of Time<\/em> iteration. What may be even more likely though is the addition of\u00a0Skyward Sword<\/em>‘s young Impa. Not only does this version of Impa have no representation in\u00a0Smash<\/em> yet, but still lends itself to an agile moveset and would also represent a new\u00a0Zelda<\/em> game in the\u00a0Smash <\/em>roster. What’s more is that a\u00a0Skyward Sword<\/em> Impa could tie-in to the release of the long-rumored\u00a0<\/a>Skyward Sword<\/em><\/a> Switch port<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although everything seems up in the air when it comes to which characters are added to\u00a0Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/em> as playable fighters, it is\u00a0always fun to speculate. For now, whether fans cope with\u00a0the loss of Geno<\/a>\u00a0or discover wild new combos for characters daily, it\u00a0seems likely that more surprises await\u00a0fans of the game this year.<\/p>\n

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>is available now on Switch.<\/p>\n
