After several months of quiet, the time seems to be drawing near for news on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's next DLC fighter. Though Fighters Pass Vol. 2 is developing at a slower pace than the first, the timing feels just about right for DLC Fighter #7 to be revealed, demonstrated, and made available in the coming weeks.
But that doesn't answer the biggest question: Who's Next? Who will have the honor and opportunity of being the next character to join the fight? Speculation has ranged from many different angles and many different hopeful newcomers (though perhaps fixated somewhat on a small handful), but can we truly narrow it down?
Well, nothing's for sure--especially with how many of Smash's decisions only make sense in hindsight--but maybe we can give it a shot. Let's analyze the situation as it stands and go over who I believe are the three most likely characters to be Fighter #7, why, and what content and unique abilities they could offer.
