Masahiro Sakurai Teases Smash DLC Fighter Announcement At E3 2019

When the 2019 Nintendo World Championships wrapped up last night, there was one last special announcement from none other than Super Smash Bros. director, Masahiro Sakurai. Sakurai not only took the mic to congratulate Team Japan on their victory, but also to confirm that he’s hard at work on the next DLC fighter for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Check out his announcement below:

If you’re in a rush and cannot watch the video, here is a transcript of what Masahiro Sakurai said regarding the DLC fighter, and the upcoming E3 2019 Nintendo Direct:

As for me, I’ll be continuing my work on the next DLC fighter and more information regarding that will be shared in the Nintendo Direct for E3 2019. So I hope you’re looking forward to it.

An interesting thing to note is Sakurai only mentions a single fighter, so don’t get your hopes up for a multiple character reveal. Who do you think the next DLC fighter will be for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate? Let us know your guesses or dream fighters you’d like to see in the comments below!
