This week Nintendo released the final Smash Bros Direct. As always a ton of new information has been released and a bunch of new characters have been announced. In this article I will be listing the big announcements from the Direct. A link to the video will also be at the bottom of this article. Let’s get started.




Corrin from Fire Emblem fates has been announced for Smash. While I’m not going to go into the detail of his moveset here, I can say that he is being targeted for release in February 2016. Like the Wiifit trainer Corrin will be available with both Male and Female options. Unlike the other DLC fighters Corrin will with no Special stage






We found out quite a while ago that Cloud Strife would be coming to Smash Bros. Now as of the airing of the Smash Direct he is now available on the Eshop. He comes with two of his Final Fantasy Advent Children Costumes. One of the biggest features with Cloud is his Summon Materia which allows him to summon various Final Fantasy creatures during battle. These summons are different and not his final Smash as any character can grab it.






Bayonetta was the last new character to be announced on the Direct. In addition to her signature moveset and very long Taunt she has both her Bayonetta One and Two Costumes in the game. Like Corrin she will also be targeted for a February 2016 release.




Each DLC character comes with New Music tracks and New Stages (excluding Corrin who has no stage.)


In addition to the Characters a number of Mii fighter outfits have been announced
