If you’re interested in adding more content to your roster, you may want to check out the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighters Pass. This Fighters Pass gives you access to five Challenger Packs, each containing a fighter, stage, and additional music tracks. In addition, Fighters Pass Vol. 2 is now available for pre-purchase. Byleth has also joined the fight in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Following the addition of this character, director Masahiro Sakurai acknowledged the large amount of Fire Emblem and sword-wielding characters in the game. Check out the quotes provided from Sakurai’s latest column in this week’s issue of Famitsu magazine below:
Masahiro Sakurai: “I don’t choose the fighters based on my own preference, that’s for Nintendo to bring in.”
Masahiro Sakurai: “This time around, we brought the experience of immediately playing as the protagonist of a game that people currently play. At the starting point of its production, we experimented by working with a title that was in development.”
Masahiro Sakurai: “There are too many Fire Emblem characters. And there are too many sword characters. I, too, understand. However, these things are already decided, so we move forward. The things I should be thinking about are elsewhere.”
Masahiro Sakurai: “Since there are too many sword characters, we make them all have their own tactics that are unique to the fighter.”
