Welcome to another episode of Challenger Approaching! In this series, we discuss characters who could find their way into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate or future entries, then go into ludicrous detail on what they would be like if they joined the fight for real!

Our challenger this time hails from a franchise with a very unusual background. While most of Nintendo's mobile titles have been spinoffs of well-known franchises, Dragalia Lost was designed from the ground up to be a new experience on smart devices. Its colorful fantasy aesthetics and action RPG combat have earned it a dedicated fanbase over the past three years, enough that some have wondered if its main character Euden might be Ultimate's 11th and final DLC fighter.

But could Euden's swordplay, elemental powers, and ability to take on the form of an all-powerful dragon overcome his mobile roots and lack of worldwide recognition? And if he did make it into Smash, how could his array of abilities transfer over into a moveset unique from every RPG protagonist we've had so far? Let's see.
