During a deep dive into Super Smash Bros. newest fighter as well as a Chocobo hat and Geno from Super Mario RPG.
As part of the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighter Pass, Nintendo releases various skins for Mii Fighters, standard fighters categorized as Gunner, Brawler, and Swordfighter. These Mii Fighter templates can use different skins based on popular characters. In the past, Nintendo has released Mii Fighter skins for characters like Sans from Undertale and Travis Touchdown from No More Fighters. Now, three Final Fantasy 7 character skins will join the roster.
Barret (Gunner Outfit), Tifa (Brawler Outfit), and Aerith (Swordfight Outfit) are coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as part of Round 8 of the Mii Fighters skin line. You can see the skins in action below.
Sakurai also announced two additional Mii fighter outfits, a Chocobo hat and Geno (gunner outfit). Geno is actually from the Super Mario RPG that was developed by Square in association with Nintendo for the SNES in 1996. Geno was a unique character created for the Super Mario RPG and has been a popular request from fans to be added to the Smash Bros. list.
Geno was previously released as a Mii skin in Super Smash Bros. 3DS and Wii U. Sakurai once said she considered Geno joining the Smash Bros. roster in an interview with Nintendo Dream in 2016, which helped boost the fan move to get the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate character.
Sephiroth is the eighth DLC fighter to join Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and the third character in the latest Fighter Pass, which means there are still three more DLC fighters to be announced. Along with the character, players will gain access to a new stage of Final Fantasy 7, as well as nine new Final Fantasy music tracks, remixed for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Clues include:
- Opening – Bombing Mission
- Those who fight (AC version)
- Those who fight the most (AC version)
- Aerith theme
- Final Fantasy VII Main Theme
- Jenova
- Cosmo Canyon
- A winged angel
- Advent: one-winged angel
Additionally, a limited-time Sephiroth Challenge mode has been announced. From December 17-22, players can take on Sephiroth and play him and the new stage early if they defeat him. Players must have the Challenger Pack 8 or the Fighters Pass Vol. 2 to participate.
