The Labo trio do have names
The old guy is Gerry Rigs
The woman is Lerna Lotte
The kid is Plaise Allatyme
Season Pass 2 will probably have
Zelda BotW 2 rep
Xenoblade 3/Xenoblade X2 rep
Pokémon Gen 8 rep
Metroid Prime 4 rep (making people scream that Metroid has too many characters)
Spring Man to promote Arms 2
Zelda BotW 2 rep
Xenoblade 3/Xenoblade X2 rep

Spring Man to promote Arms 2
Second pass with only female characters, huh? I can think of a better all woman season pass:
- 2B
- Joanna Dark
- Lara Croft
- Jade (one of the best female protags ever created imo)
- Velvet Crowe (similar to Persona, main character of the last original game is more fitting)
- Mai (she's as recognizable as Terry Bogard)
Six characters because of no stages. All human because no one even bothered to create a non human female protagonist.
Easily. But you might as well go all the way and make it an all-girl pass.
- Spring Man is stuck in Assist Trophy Hell for the rest of Ultimate. That plus I don't expect ARMS 2 to be a thing until the next Nintendo system. Spring Man's best bet would be to wait until the next Smash game (like Olimar & Inkling before him).
- You're assuming that we get another Xenoblade game in the next year or so, which I'm not so sure about (we'll definitely get one, but I'm not sure when).
- Metroid Prime 4 likely won't be out until the tail-end of the Switch's life. I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being a cross-gen title.
Yawn. Only 2 characters from new franchises (and one's dressed as a character from an old franchise).
Seriously boring.
I don't worry about Metroid Prime 4 being a Switch game, because we know that the Switch itself will last longer than previous Nintendo systems. I don't think it's not even a likely candidate to be a cross-gen like Twlight Princess and Breath of the Wild, even if they take 3 years to make.
- Madeline (Celeste)
- Athena (The King of Fighters)
- Dixie Kong
- Lara Croft
- Pauline (Nintendo seems to be trying to revive her)
many people would like it, which is why i find a fighter pass with more than maybe 1 optimistic
I just realized that every DLC fighter getting their own Spirit Board means we don't have to worry about Dragon Quest content being as restricted as Final Fantasy. (Not that I was worried to begin with, but I know some of you were assuming the worst with Square Enix.)
Dixie and Pauline would definitely be echo fighters. Madeline could share the same fate with Shantae :(
There's no rule that says we can't get a new spirit board with only 1-2 spirits.
I mean that list doesn't inspire confidence that we will get many new IPs then. For Ultimate we could've seen Rhythm Heaven, Nintendo Land, Chibi Robo, Dillon, or others but they were out-prioritized by supporting characters that were more popular and had greater recognition.
Fighter Pass 2 is based on PC franchises:
Sim person from The Sims
Gandhi from Civilization
Counter-terrorist from Counter-strike
Kane from Command and Conquer
Mine from Minesweeper.

If DQ made it in. I always expected a decent amount of content compared to Cloud. Lots of more music, Mii Fighter outfits and spirits.
Purly based off how FF and DQ are handled from what I've seen. So I could easily be wrong in the end. We'll see
To be fair, Sakurai made a point to prioritize the Ballot for Ultimate (that plus "Everyone is Here").
the real fighter pass 2 was the 5 friends we made along the way
I imagine we'd get spirits of the monsters in the Alefgard stage. Then again, Why the fuck are the Midgar summons not spirits?
While we can't rule out the possibility of a Fighters Pass 2, it happening is far from a guarantee.
Dunno about that, both are in a weird place were they're similar enough to other characters that they could be echo-fighters but also different enough that they could be their own thing if the designers pushed a little harder. Pauline is kinda of a blank slate at this point, she could have a move-set based on classic Donkey Kong games (for instance the neutral attack could be the bug spray from DK3)
Who would Pauline echo? She's not an easy model swap with anyone.
The ballot wasn't why we got Isabelle, Incineroar, or Pirahna Plant.
Takamaru's game was released internationally on the 3DS. (I know. I bought it.)
You forgot Inkling.
Still, it's the reason we got Ridley, King K. Rool, & the Belmonts. I'd imagine that characters like Elma would have gotten in under any other circumstance.
that's my guess and that's completely fine. I don't think Smash Ultimate needed not even a singular character as DLC. the base game wasn't a 20 fighters sized roster. we are all too spoiled to ask for more.
And I think at the point of we're done with the first pass, the roster will be more than enough to hold us busy until the next game.
She's yet to be a controllable character in any game, so that would give devs some creative freedom. I'm thinking she could be a Rosaliba echo with Cappy replacing Luma.
The point isn't (I hope) "the current UI breaks at 109 stages, so they won't make 109th one". The point is, we already know of 108 stages coming, AND the game happens to accommodate exactly that many stages in the UI, given random slot control shenanigans. This implies that at the point UI was designed, that number could have already been considered. If that was the case, it would imply the post-launch development strongly follows a pre-launch plan, and additional stages would go against it. If the plan was different or more flexible, UI breaking at a different number than this one would be more likely.
The only reason there's won't be a Fighters Pass 2 is if Nintendo decides to start developing the sequel instead. There was almost no downtime between Smash 4 DLC and Ultimate.
I didn't know this! He stays anyway.
Otherwise uh... (checks notes)
Barbara? Kumatora? ...Someone from Magical Vacation?
That wouldn't really fit either character (Pauline or Cappy) at all. And basing Pauline entirely on Odyssey would be ignoring her origins entirely.
That... wouldn't work at all. Pauline isn't a cosmic witch, and she doesn't have a relationship with Cappy.
Didn't mention Inkling since she's the sole new Nintendo IP rep in Ultimate. My point with the other characters was that we got them over potential new IP and they weren't ballot driven picks. I just don't think we will see another newcomer roster like Smash 4's again now that most of the major Nintendo IP are in Smash.
