Investigation Reveals DLC Favorite

Super Smash Bros. Ultimates Fighters Pass 2 will add six new characters to the game's already extensive list. The addition of Banjo and Kazooie was a huge hit among fans who had been begging for the iconic duo to be added to the fighting game. Now a new Smash Bros. Ultimate A DLC survey with more than 3,000 participants revealed that players want to see more than anyone else, it's a shame Disney doesn't let that happen.

Japanese publication Inside games published the results of a new Sunday fan survey based on 3,000 votes to find out the character fans want, and the results overwhelmingly indicate that players really want Sora. the Kingdom hearts the protagonist has collected 290 votes in total, so around 10% of all those who participated want to see the hero swaying Keyblade alongside Mario and Samus.

All of the other characters named in the poll garnered far fewer votes than Sora. Even icons like Dragon ball zs Goku and Crash Bandicoot had no chance.

Here are the results for the first 10 characters included in the survey:

1. Sora (Kingdom hearts) 290 votes
2. Dante (Devil may cry) 91 votes
3. Hunter (Monster hunter) 80 votes
4. Rex (Xenoblade Chronicles 2) 74 votes
5. 2B (Nior Automata) 70 votes
6. Crash (Crash Bandicoot) 65 votes
7. Waddle Dee / Bandana Waddle Dee (Kirby) 64 votes
8. Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII) 59 votes
9. Arle (Puyo Puyo) 56 votes
10. Steve (Minecraft) 55 votes

It is not surprising to see Sora at the top of the list. Smash Bros. Ultimate fans have been rumored that he would have ended up becoming the platform fighter since last year. But recent chatter has suggested that the Kingdom hearts hero could actually never get to the Smash Bros. Ultimate discard.

Disney, which owns the rights to the Kingdom hearts would have refused Nintendos' offer to let Sora join the list, according to Imran Khan. The former editor of Game Informer and co-host of Kinda Funny Gamescast claimed to have a privileged knowledge of a conversation which would have taken place between Nintendo and Disney Japan.

Khan did not specify how he discovered this information, but he does have a story of being plugged into the inner circles of Nintendo and other game companies. He was the source of the past Nintendo Switch Title rumors and gossip about potential Marvels Spider-Man PlayStation Suite.

But that doesn't necessarily mean that Sora is completely out of the race.

There had been murmurs about Nintendo trying to add Banjo and Kazooie to the Super Smash Bros. franchise from the early 2000s, while Melees climax. This suggests that society sometimes listens to fans and persists with the characters it wants in Smash bros. However, game director Mashahiro Sakurai has confirmed that the Fighters Pass 2 lineup has already been decided, so a last-minute change seems like a slim possibility.

Sakurai also revealed in an interview with Japanese games magazine Famitsu that there isn't always full creative control over which DLC character is added Smash Bros. Ultimate. This suggests that some of the cast additions to Fighters Pass 2 might ignore the diversity of the list in favor of corporate synergy and cross-promotion of the biggest franchises in Nintendos.

It is much more likely that he sees the addition of another Pokmon to complete the recent version of Sword and shield, or another Animal crossing representative to coincide with the upcoming launch of New Horizons. Could Nintendo still surprise Sora fans at some point in the future? May be.

The six characters from Fighters Pass 2 will be released on December 31, 2021 at the latest, so expect almost two years full of new ones. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate content.
