Character filtered in Smash Bros Ultimate DLC

According to the official Nintendo website, the next Smash Ultimate character could be someone from an SNK title. Do we have a filtered character?

Although nothing has been confirmed 100%. A copyright at the bottom of the page for the fourth DLC hero implies to a large extent that this is the case.

The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate community has been waiting patiently for Nintendo to announce who will be the fourth DLC character in the Fighters Pass, and now a filter with a good track record says he knows who he is.

Smash Ultimate went on sale at the end of 2018 with the praise of critics and fans, bringing the Wii U port to a new life on the Switch, with a lot of added scenarios, content and the largest list of players up to the date for the series of fights.

However, fans were speechless when Nintendo announced the first characters for the DLC Fighters Pass, with characters like Joker from Persona 5, and bringing the beloved Banjo and Kazooie back from the dead. Now a filter with a precise history says he knows who the next character is.

The 4th character of DLC for Smash

In a video posted on his YouTube channel on August 30, ‘IAmShifty’ claimed that the fourth character in the Pass is none other than Ryu Hayabusa, from the NES classic Ninja Gaiden.

«Yes, I know who the next DLC character will be. I’ve leaked things for Smash Bros before; I have sources that occasionally tell me things about Smash. I filtered Piranha Plant ahead of time; I filtered when Isabelle would be announced. I even leaked that Marx was a boss between 5 and 6 months before the game went on sale, ”he said.

While revealing the next character, Shifty said: «The next time you see a character reveals an ad, it will be this specific character. And that character will be Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden.

IAmShifty also noted that he had hinted at the Ninja Gaiden character previously, as he had tweeted April Fools’ Day in April 2019.

“I made a tweet saying that Ryu Hayabusa would be a character, and I did it on that date because I thought it would be cheeky,” he laughed.

The filter also stated that at that time he was not 100% sure and that he did not want to confirm it completely based only on people’s conversations.

If you do not realize that I have 2 or 3 sources at this time. Usually, when they have consistency between them, I think the leak has credibility. But now they tell me directly that Ryu will be the next character «.

IAmShifty has been right before

While the one who leaked the information spent some time in his video stating that his filtering record was solid, Internet detectives from the Reddit Smash community investigated it and discovered that he has a history of being accurate.

In August 2018, Shifty uploaded a video to her channel where she leaked that Isabelle, Incineroar, and Ken would join the fighting game, four months before it came to light. In another upload, he also described Nintendo’s DLC plans long before the Fighters Pass was announced.

Only time will tell if the escape will come true, and needless to say, you always have to take this kind of thing not very seriously.
