A week on from the release of Dragon Quest's Hero in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Nintendo has announced its new weekly event. It's a three-day tournament titled "Heroes VS Villains" that starts this Friday and runs for three days.
Here are the details about it, courtesy of the Nintendo Australia Twitter account:
The three-day #SmashBrosUltimate Event Tourney "Heroes VS Villains" starts on 09/08! This time-limited tourney exclusively features heroic and villainous fighters. It's the ultimate clash of good vs. evil! The further you advance, the better the spirit you'll win!

I suck at Smash, but sure, I'll give it a go!
@Matthew010 Thats the spirit!
@Michael_Knight I enjoy collecring the spirits and to be fair, I'm nor bad with Cloud or Link. I know Link's a hero, but is Cloud a hero or a villain? I haven't played Final Fantasy.
@Matthew010 Depends on how much you blame him for being weak-willed in the aftermath of torture and "scientific" experimentation.
I'm surprised that I haven't bought the full Expansion Pass yet. Is there any exclusive stuff for actually buying the Expansion Pass?
@Lizuka Can you still get the Expansion Pass if all the five characters are released though? I really don't want to buy them separately and I want to wait to get more cash first before buying.
We really need a third-party villain/antagonist character. My pick is Albert Wesker from Resident Evil. He has loads of abilities and has done way more than Leon/Chris to affect the plotline of the series.
@KingBowser Yeah, you can still get the Pass after everyone's been released. Joker and Hero have been released, and Banjo-Kazooie is next in the American Fall.
Hmm, this kind of thing might get me back into Smash, well done Nintendo
@Matthew010 Good choice, I like both fighters too. I would say Cloud is fighting on the good side.
@TheAwesomeBowser Thank you, Mr. AwesomeBowser
The good guys will win as the villains are always ranked lower competitively sadly.
You mean the only 4 real villains? Bowser, K. Rool, Ridley and Ganondorf VS everyone? Why does Sakurai still portray Meta Knight as a bad guy? even though he made him a parental figure to Kirby in the anime which he was heavily involved in...
Going to give it a shot!!
Not seeing a lack of villains, honestly:
That's 10+ right there, excluding Mii Fighters!
@Bankaj Wario is an anti-hero, not a villain.
And ofcourse Donkey Kong really isn't a villain anymore. Not after Mario kidnapped his son in Donkey Kong 2.
@sanderev Years of character development has turned many traditional villains into good guys or "anti-hero" or loners etc. Wario was introduced as a villain, therefore, for the purpose of this event, I would definitely include him here. Same for DeDeDe and the other arguable ones I elaborate on in the list.
Nintendo being Nintendo, villains tend to wolololo back to the light
@Bankaj Dark Pit is definitely not a villain ... he's an anti-hero
So no Dragon Quest themed event after all the speculation?
@Lizuka @fafonio , corrected
@dev893 did you mean smashfest
As I main the stache bros I think I must go heroes...Is Luigi a hero? In my heart, yes.
Hmm might try.
Why isn't Yoshi available?
@Franklin he isn't a hero, he's a powerup.
Are these replacing Spirit events, then, or will they only just happen when there's new Spirits available? I would've thought we'd have had Mario Maker 2, Cadence of Hyrule, and Fire Emblem Three Houses themed events by now.
I might have to give this a shot, as bad as I'll probably be online.
Is this an online event? The article doesn't really explain what it is.
@Lizuka king dedede
Hero is the star of the event!
@Lizuka There's about 4 games where Meta-Knight is the villain. Sure in Kirby's Adventure and Nightmare in Dreamland he fights Kirby for good reasons, but in Metaknights Revenge, he attacks Dreamland because he hates how lazy everyone has become. And in the sequel to that mini-game Metaknight reactivates NOVA just for the selfish purpose of becoming stronger. Which as shown with Marx in Kirby SuperStar, all didn't go so well.
