Rumour: It Seems We Could Be Getting An Additional 5 Characters In Super Smash Bros DLC

The rumour mill continues to churn and with it comes news that we could be getting an additional five characters in Super Smash Bros. Someone dug deep into the Super Smash Bros source code and found that there are five open slots that have yet to be filled. The very same person also found that there’s an additional stages coming too. There’s currently room for seven. One of these new stages is thought to be a Kirby one as there’s a number of Kirby songs included. So far we’ve got:

  • Mewtwo
  • Lucas
  • Roy (rumor)
  • Ryu (rumor)
  • ????
  • ????

Thanks, MasterPikachu6

  1. I’m honestly thinking King K Rool is going to be one of the outcomes of the ballot. I personally want Banjo and Kazooie, but even I can see K Rool getting in over them.

    1. Ryu wasn’t really picked per se, but these hidden sound files with Ryu and Roy are proof that these characters were planned beforehand. So if there’s one person to blame, it would have to be Capcom since they are always greedy for money.

      1. Ignoring Capcom, Ryu does fit well in this game being one of the only two characters who come from a “fighting game” and the quirkiness of Capcom’s various crossover games does fit into a Nintendo crossover. There’s no way of telling whether the themes were left overs or work in progress but the fact this info was uncovered after the patch is suspicious. Maybe Nintendo forgot to remove them from the code

          1. Ryu gets way to much undeserving hate because of his company same with Rayman. What happened to everyone’s favorite hectic fighter? Sure Capcom has made some bad decisions but they haven’t ruined the series unlike Resident Evil

    2. Street fighter is still one of the best selling games out there especially street fighter 4 on the 3ds

    3. Irrelevant? Why? i picked ryu and he deserves to be in smash,he is an icon for fighting games and pop culture,because of him (and the game of course) most of fighting games exist and have base to be created.Most of the games that uses “fireballs” has the same input as the hadoken,why? because of Ryu and especially Megaman:his uppercut,it’s from MvC and is obviously a shoryuken and who does the shoryuken? Ryu!

  2. Not only does Ryu not have a reason to be in Smash 4, it would mean there would be two Capcom characters. I’d say Rayman is the only other third party character that has a shot since he’s already a trophy.

    1. Why doesn’t he have a reason? He is the only rumored character that actually comes from another popular fighter

        1. Ridley, the Angel of Death

          Actually, Roy Koopa is a character we deserved for a long time. Along with his 6 siblings. Sure he’s an alternate for Bowser Jr but I’m not going to complain about getting Bowser’s TRUE children.

  3. Another Kirby stage? That’d be nice.

    The Great Cave Offensive is nice and all but it’s too big for a casual fight.

      1. Nintendo gives out a lot of content for what u pay for especially in Mario kart (except the mii clothing 1.15 for a shirt? Nah)

        1. I'm a Boss Ass Bitch

          Is that the price for both versions? The price for one version is $0.75. If that ain’t cheap than I don’t know what fucking is.

          1. I read after submitting my vote in the SSB poll that the character’s would be 3.99. At least Mewtwo will be, so hopefully Nintendo will keep them cheap like that so it will push people to buy them. I didn’t want Mewtwo at all, then after playing him and knowing the price, ill definitely be getting him on the 28th I do believe. Lucas has no date, but ill end up buying all of them anyway.

            Happy early 4/20 world. Im celebrating early. @.@

  4. Kaptain Krusha K. Roolenstein

    If I see a lot of characters going in and none are King K. Rool, then Sakurai deserves to not make games anymore.

  5. It, s nice and all and i like new stages and characters but i want to know when we can start on the tournaments its to quiet around that :/

  6. I would like to remind everyone., THESE 6 CHARACTERS ARE NOT A PART OF THE BALLOT. ALL OF THE 6 ARE PREDETERMINED DLC CHARACTERS.

        1. I think the takeaway from this is that, including Mewtwo and Lucas, there’s going to be a total of six DLC characters in Smash Bros. Of those unannounced four some may be ballot winners but it seems like there won’t be any more then that.

          1. You know they can add more spots to put characters in. Not to mention Wolf us obviously coming back, that leave one more spot for a predetermined character, and after that character they make a unknown number of characters from the ballot.

  7. Roy? Really? We already have a Marth clone, why do we need another? Ryu is also kinda stupid because the last SF game we gor was SSF4 3D. We didn’t get Ultra SF4 like the other consoles and obviously won’t be getting SF5. Stupid stupid decision if true.

  8. At this point, I’m finally ok if Ryu really is true since I’m a huge Street Fighter fan and we can’t deny that Street Fighter IS the pioneer of all competitive fighters. Not to mention that it could potentially spawn all sorts of cool fanart with him and Little Mac.

      1. Sadly, you are right since there’s no exception to that rule. But hey, that means more bara and less yaoi since the latter is overrated (Not like I’m into that sort of thing). XD

  9. So i guess what they said about the website is true. As long as Roy is the only other clone and Takamuru and Snake are those characters i’m fine

  10. There’s no space for Ryu and Roy in the roster. Those places are reserved for other characters, one of whom is Bayonetta!

    1. If Bayonetta was in, the rating would be bumped up to rated T.

      Wonder red is the most logical choice from platinum games.

  11. Everyone’s assuming it’s the Street Fighter Ryu but could it be Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden? Because that character should absolutely be in Smash Bros.

      1. Pretty sure it is. The ballot was huge enough for the developers to already decide who to include. That explains Roy but i don’t know if Ryu was one of the most popular

        1. So, you think that these characters are in the game, because of a ballot, That started HALF AND MONTH AGO from when we got the update? Not to mention, Nobody voted Ryu, if someone wanted a second Capcom rep, they voted Phoenix Wright.

    1. I can already imagine the Smash fans bitching about Pokemon having 7 reps. Oh wait, Mario already has that amount if we ignore Yoshi, Wario, and the DK duo. XD

      1. What are you basing that on? Yes or No, the ????? could be reserve places for a ballot winner(s). I have not read anything that would contradict that thought

        1. Well, Wolf is obvious, si that leave 1 more spot for a character. If they have more placeholders I would agree, but i think they would fill the the placehoders as Non ballot dlc, and then after Oct 3, they will make the Ballot characters.

          1. Wolf is speculation. There is nothing that has pointed to that. Now, does it make sense with a new Starfox game coming out. Sure. But there was nothing in the files discovered that Wolf will be in it. Now, if there is source missed, that is on me and if there is something noted somewhere, in all honesty, please point me to it. But to state factually that the open spaces are not for the ballot and that Wolf will be a DLC character is incorrect at this time. I am not saying it will or will not be incorrect, but that right now, we just don’t have that information.

    1. I do admit that, at least for the Wii U version, I would trade all of these DLC fighters for a mode even somewhat like Adventure Mode from Melle.

    2. Ridley, the Angel of Death

      Sakurai should have given the Wii U version Smash Run & Smash Tour for the 3DS. It would have fit more for Tour to be on the 3DS, to be honest, since it’s a portable console.

  12. Mewtwo already has a spot then there are 5 more blank ones you cant add him to the 5 emptys (if its even true)

  13. Pingback: ริว จากสตรีท ไฟท์เตอร์ เตรียมสู้กับ ซูเปอร์ มาริโอ !! | แบไต๋ไฮเทค

  14. Why do we need another Capcom character who already has his own fighting game?
    Mega Man is enough to represent the company.
    Please let characters with their own fighting games stay where they are at, and give “New” characters an opportunity for something like this.
    IMO, 3rd Parties should only consist of 1 character per company they mascot.
    Sakurai even stated before that he did not want to go overboard with the involvement of 3rd Party characters in the Smash Bros games.

  15. Nintendo Tetrarch Quadramus-NX

    >>>If Sakurai sir chooses a non Nintendo character than a Nintendo one then his leadership will be questioned>>>

    1. Ridley, the Angel of Death

      I disagree. His leadership has been questionable since Melee when he made Ganondorf into a Captain Falcon knockoff/wannabe when there was a ton of stuff from the Zelda franchise that could have been used for Ganondorf’s moveset. For instance, he could have given Ganondorf a trident of some kind.

  16. Didnt sakurai say he wasnt putting chrom in because he didnt want too many FE reps who are plain swordsman? Roy is just that

    1. I guess it had something to do with the many fans that begged for him before the game came out, even Chronobound said that he was the second most wanted cut veteran for Smash (With the now returned Mewtwo being first).

  17. Even though I think Ryu from Street Fighter would be a really fantastic addition to the roster, and I would love to see Roy ( Fire Emblem ) return, I personally think these rumors are false, mainly because Street Fighter is from CAPCOM just like Mega Man, and I think they’re only going to add one character per third party company like Sonic The Hedgehog for SEGA, Pac-Man for NAMCO, etc, Smash is still a Nintendo game after all.
