Super Smash Bros. Ultimatefans are champing at the bit for news regarding the game’s next DLC fighter, the final fighter to be included in the game’s first Fighters Pass. As ever, rumor and speculation regarding the fighter is getting out of control. The list of rumoredSuper Smash Bros. UltimateDLC fighters seems to grow larger every day, rather than smaller. Today perhaps that list will shrink by one fighter, as a prominent leaker is de-confirming one popular rumored DLC fighter.
Industry leaker and rumormonger Sabi is back again, this time quashing a rumored fighter forSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. Sabi says that they’ve been asking around about one rumored fighter specifically. That being Lloyd, the popular protagonist theTales of SymphoniaJRPG. Lloyd is an especially popular character in Japan, which can be influential regarding which characters get picked forSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. Lloyd’s American voice actor, Scott Menville, has also hinted that he’s working on an undisclosed project.

According to Sabi, however, the rumors surrounding Lloyd coming toSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateare nothing but speculation. They claim to have contacted three different insiders regarding the rumor and all three haven’t “heard of Lloyd as FP5.” Sabi believes this to be confirmation that the fifth DLC fighter inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate’s Fighters Passis a different character entirely. They also hint that we might get a more reliable update at The Game Awards 2019.
While Sabi says that Lloyd doesn’t look like the final DLC character in the Fighters Pass, they do offer a glimmer of hope to fans. It’s possible that the rumors swirling around Lloyd joiningSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateweren’t hinting at his inclusion as the fifth Fighters Pass character, but ratheranother DLC character to come in the future.Tales of Symphoniafans don’t have to give up hope for their favorite character just yet.
While Lloyd may be crossed off the list of potentialSuper Smash Bros. UltimateDLC additions that could be added as the fifth Fighters Pass character, the list remains very long. Potential characters include Crash Bandicoot, Dante ofDevil May Cry, Ryu Hyabusa ofNinja Gaiden, and Geno ofSuper Mario RPG, among others.
