Pyra/Mythra from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 are the next DLC Fighter for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, coming in March.
INB4 "EEWWWW!! Another anime swordfighter!?!?"
No no, these are not swordfighters. They are just the swords. Mr. Sakurai was tired of hearing complaints about too many fighters using swords, so this time he choose new fighters that were just the swords. Problem solved, right?
But for real tho, will Smash fans ever realize that swords are the most common type of weapon in pretty much all of fiction? Probably not.
EDIT: as for the character themselves, they are alright. It's nice to see more Nintendo characters/reps after getting so much third party DLC, yes I know we already got Byleth and Min Min, but still. It's good specially because this new character comes from a Nintendo franchise that (before today's reveal) only had one playable rep. Extra points because it's not a character from Fire Emblem, a franchise that has enough representation as it is.
