A new leak provides a hint as to who will be included in the next round of Masahiro Sakurai is said to be retiring, but that is still a couple of years off.
In the meantime, Super Smash Bros Ultimate has had a busy 2020 when it came to new fighter announcements. The fun began with the reveal of Byleth from Final Fantasy VII baddie Sephiroth was unveiled at December’s Game Awards livestream in a stunning reveal trailer, ing his arch-nemesis Cloud Strife among the pantheon of gaming mascots battling it out in colorful multiplayer combat.
According to Sora of Kingdom Hearts fame (who was abandoned after Square Enix didn’t feel comfortable having him appear in a game without any Disney characters).
Fan speculation regarding which popular gaming icons will be the next to appear in Super Smash Bros Ultimate are commonplace among the series’ fanbase, with the most popular candidates being Overwatch. Sure enough, Lloyd and Yuri are among the heroes that some fans have been requesting, alongside the aforementioned Sora.
As such, having both Lloyd Irving and Yuri Lowell be announced as the next Super Smash Bros Ultimate guest fighters would be a treat for the fans of their JRPG adventures, and they would fit right in among similar stars like Cloud and Shulk of the Xenoblade Chronicles series. Even better, previous leaks on 5ch have correctly predicted characters like Steve, though this could have been a mere lucky guess. Absolutely nothing regarding the next wave of Super Smash Bros Ultimate DLC fighters has been officially confirmed so far, so fans should stay tuned for more concrete developments as they unfold at a future date.
