Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Mortal Kombat 11 are two of the best and biggest fighting games out right now. A huge part of their appeal comes from their wacky casts of characters, casts that are only getting larger and more packed with crossovers thanks to ongoing DLC. We recently saw gameplay for two new characters coming to these games in just a few days. And they both make us laugh, albeit for different reasons.
Let’s start with Smash Bros. because it’s maybe the funniest. Soon after launch we were promised five additional DLC characters in the Fighters Pass. And the first four were all pretty awesome and surprising third-party guest picks. Joker from Persona 5, the Hero from Dragon Quest, Banjo and Kazooie, and Fatal Fury’s Terry Bogard. However, that streak came to an end when the fifth fighter was revealed: Professor Byleth from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Another anime swordsman. The eighth Fire Emblem character. The fifth one with blue hair. What a joke.
Still, I can’t get so mad. Fire Emblem: Three Houses was my runner-up game of the year so of course I’m stoked to battle at Garreg Mach Monastery and listen to that music. Byleth’s colors reflect different house leaders and characters (although not the new students of the hidden fourth DLC house). And their moveset mixes things up with a sacred lance, axe, and bow alongside the chain sword.
Besides, other more creative characters like Altair and Ravings Rabbids at least got some Mii costume love. There’s even a dope Sans-esque Cuphead costume complete with jazz music. But man, if any of the six upcoming fighters of the next DLC wave are from Fire Emblem we revolt. Sakurai thinks he’s got jokes with that binary code tease. He better learn how to say “DOOM” with his fingers next.
You know who else knows about revolts? It’s Batman villain and Oscar darling The Joker. We already knew the clown who loves crime was coming to Mortal Kombat 11. But now we have a gameplay trailer showing what kind of hilarious brutality the character is capable of free from softer rating of Injustice. They even fixed his face! Here’s hoping for a Joaquin Phoenix skin.
