The fact that female Erdrick and the DQ4 Heroine are apparently not in Smash is complete bullshit.

[Lord Vatek]

Erdrick and the DQ4 hero both have female versions to play as in their home games but are apparently totally absent from Smash, despite their male counterparts being present and there being enough alt costume slots to easily fit them. It's possible they are still in but Smash newcomer trailers usually show alt-gendered costumes when they are first shown so I don't have high hopes.

The biggest issue is now that 3/5 of the DLC characters have all been men, which is in addition to the only 3 female characters added to the base game. Smash Ultimate is seriously lacking in female newcomer representation and the fact that even gender-swapped costumes that should be obvious are missing out is even worse.

OP, wait until E3 is over. This is a good point but no reaction threads and all of that.

Missed that.

Yeah no reason why the female DQ hero's aren't in. Pkmn trainer has a male and female version, so there's really no excuse. Bit of a misstep there.

While these issues are important to discuss, for the time being we would like to redirect the multiple discussions on the Super Smash Bros DLC to the main announcement topic as part of our E3 decongestion rules. You may remake these specific threads when E3 has ended.
