While many Super Smash Bros. Ultimate fans were hoping to see the final fighter reveal during the latest Nintendo Direct broadcast, it seems we'll have to wait just a little bit longer...
Nintendo has officially confirmed the game's director Masahiro Sakurai will be revealing the final fighter on 5th October in a special presentation. This will be the final broadcast as well, and will also include information about how the fighter functions in battle.
Got any guesses as to who it might be? Leave your own thoughts and theories down below.

pain.
Great more mindless speculation!
What is the point of that. Just put it in this direct. Now Nintendo is drip feeding news.
Aw man, now I have to perform my ritual all over again...
I still hope it is either Sora, Rayman, Dixie Kong, or Conker.
The reveal will be a year and 2 days after steve. Hoping for something as internet breaking as that
Here's hoping the identity is worth the extra wait. I'll leave it at that.
Master Chief or bust.
@RareFan
Funky over Dixie
Announcing future announcements in a direct is just as pathetic as it is stupid. Plus we got not one but two in this direct.
Better be tetris.
If it’s relesed on the same day, its damage control
Who will be that final fighter? My completely baseless guess is Rayman. Just a feeling. I could be wrong, though.
And the winner is... A tetris block! But which one?? Who votes for T-block with the physics-defying T-spin move?
I'm glad Nintendo didn't spend 4-5 minutes of the Direct on Smash Bros.
Can't believe this is really the last DLC character. Feels like the end of an era.
The smash announcement could've been put in the timeslot where they talked about an American animated film.
I love that this Direct had announcements for two future Directs.
Master Chief, Goku, and DOOMGUY all deserve it, but we all know it will be...
Waluigi
Considering how the only other characters revealed like this were Byleth and Steve, I have no idea who to expect if they're trying to hype it up as a separate deal
As I said before, I expect blood regardless.

I would personally like to the see this guy in my profile picture to get in. After the flop of Zip-Lash, he could certainly use it.
I have a feeling that this will be a bigger announcement than normal if Nintendo are allocating a separate announcement for this.
I have a feeling that an additional character will be included (either for free or for owners of both passes) as a last hurrah, possibly (as indifferent as I am to him) Waluigi.
Well whoever that final Smash fighter is, I know it won't be one in my list hopefully it's worth making the whole direct.
This Nintendo Direct announced… Yet More Nintendo Directs!
@hadrian Gross.
Hope it’s a first-party character for the final selection.
Master Chief all but confirmed given that Banjo Kazooie will launch on the N64 Switch Online membership.
@Klent no, but a new update that is necessary to play the game will update all Mario lines to be voiced by him.
@Banjosbiggestfan @RareFan
Dixie or Funky would be alright, but what Smash needs is Cranky, to put the rest of these so-called "video game icons" where they deserve to be.
BTW this is the same day Nick all star brawl comes out LOL.
Ahhh the ole announcement of an announcement trick!
@Stubborn_Monkey
Yes!!!
@Snatcher And the same day as Banana Mania (which I still think will review better than NASB lol)
Watch it be Edelgard or a Pokémon lol
Here’s to hoping it will be a big character since they announced the date so early, still holding out hope for crash or the wah man himself
im ok with this going the "announce the announcement" tactic if it means we get the character reveal and showcase on the same day. either way we werent gonna see the showcase today thats for sure
@Aurumonado Why? Just because you’re dismissive of it doesn’t mean that everyone is.
Actually, revealing Waluigi at the last minute would be the perfect way to reveal a new era of Echo Fighter DLC. Waluigi would be a great echo fighter. Being a mirror of Luigi (with a few changeups) would be pretty logical honestly.
Was waiting for a final smasher in s direct but it's a standalone event. Makes sense.
Ain't that the sane day as Nick All Star brawl?
People complain when a Smash character is revealed in a Direct because it takes too much time etc. But when it's not people still complain. Damned if you do damned if you don't, gotta love the internet. 😀
I hope it's a Fire Emblem character
All I need is for Sakurai-san to say the mural is for sale as a poster. I will fight a scalper.
It's actually confirmed to be Bowsette
Waluigi incoming!
Good now smash fanboys can finally stop ruining every game event's live chat
@FishyS Its my favorite block
Can't believe this is the last character... it better be Goku or Sora.
@Ultrasmiles Next its going to be silksong, then F-zero, your never getting away from it.
If it isn't Master Chief or my boy Waluigi, there will be war.
@eltomo Can't be Goku, he's definitively deconfirmed. Pretty sure Sora also has no chance as they've already had (the)Hero and Sephiroth from SE, and dun dun dun Disney.
@Synecdoche What did they say?
@DevinRex
I will follow you into battle, my general.
All Jokes aside, I want that too. Waluigi is barely making a living at his taco stand, he needs to have a full-time job in smash bros.
@eltomo
Goku will get in when little mac has a good recovery.
I'm doing my ritual. I'm changing my profile pic until the reveal.
@Marioman2020 You absolute madlad, and legend.
@Marioman2020 I better follow suit and put on chief's helmet. May our boys be smiled upon on Smash day.
no matter who it is, the anger afterwards will be epic
@Bizaster This is not new, They did it for the last game to.
@Marioman2020 We wish the best of luck.
Not bothered on last character already setting my expectations low now because the ones I want are either mii costumes, stickers or assist torphy so whatever happens happens.
I've lost hope for this entire game. Nothing but awful selections (outside of Pyra/Mythra) for the Fighter's Passes.
Sakurai REALLY dropped the ball on DLC selection for this bloated mess of a game.
It cannot be Reimu Hakurei. I gave up on her, because if she's the representation of the Final DLC, my New Year's Eve plans will be ruined. Don't take this the wrong way. I am a huge fan of her. I don't hate her. I like her so much, but I don't think it's a good idea if she made it. Sora is leaked a lot in some news, but I'm voting for Crash Bandicoot. I haven't play his games in all my life, and if he makes it, I will finally play as him. Sakurai already made his presentation. So he made his decision already. We can wait until October 5th and see what happens.
