Placeholder for 16 Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC Fighters

Placeholder for 16 Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC Fighters

A discovery was made by Mizumi, the modder responsible for the Waluigi & Shadow mods for Smash Ultimate.

According to him, one of the game files for Ultimate’s “World of Light” mode contains 16 dummy slots, one of which is taken by Pirahna Plant. The fact that Pirahna Plant occupies one of these dummy slots seems to suggest that they are for DLC fighters.

Dummy slots for what?

If these dummy slots are indeed for DLC Fighters, this could mean that there are 10 more DLC Fighters coming after Pirahna Plant, Joker, and the remaining unannounced characters in the Fighter’s Pass. On the other hand, the data could also just be future-proofing in case more DLC plans are made, and is not evidence that Nintendo actually intends to produce more DLC beyond what has already been announced.

Regardless, only time will tell what the future holds for Smash Ultimate’s DLC lineup. We where already placed with 5 upcoming fighters but who can say no to 16 additional fighters?
