We didn't get a fancy trailer showing off the latest DLC addition to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's roster, but we do have confirmation of who the next fighter will be. Keeping it short and to the point, Nintendo announced that "a fighter from ARMS" will be added to the game as part of the Fighters Pass 2. As to which character it is, that's still unknown at this point, but we'll likely learn more closer to the DLC's release, sometime this June.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: The first fighter in the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighters Pass Vol. 2 will be joining the battle from the Nintendo Switch game ARMS! The fighter will be announced and released this June.

well, that's disappointing

Would you rather have another lame-ass Fire Emblem weeb rep?

We need playable reps for every franchise Nintendo has. I'm stoked for this DLC.

On the one hand, it makes sense, because ARMS is technically a fighting game, but it's still a Launch-Game-Using-Controller-Gimmicks-That-Will-Be-Forgotten-About-After-The-First-Year type of game.

Now, maybe if they got Rash from Battletoads or Jago (or one of the more interesting characters) from Killer Instinct, then this would be more hype. I thought Sakurai wanted to "introduce more characters from new worlds?"

Nope, just Fire Emblem over and over again! Lol

Wait a minute
Animal Crossing resulted in more switches being sold than the launch week of the switch.
What if they released an ARMS character just to promote an old switch title (that did well for a little bit) just to tell the new switch owners “Hey kids this is a thing that exists and it’s even cool enough to be in smash bros. so maybe you should check out their actual game”
Clearly it’s already caused a commotion (mostly made of hate)
But still
They might be promoting it just to get more sales for a dead launch game ;p
And it’ll work.
There’s a lot of gullible kids out there that’ll do just that.

I mean it's pretty obvious.

Not so dead, the game sold 2 millions
