in the past


Every character in here is fun to play, the stages are ehhhh (aside from Terry's) and each character's music is great plus the reveal to almost every character was a sight to behold and watch the fanbase go nuts.

I love Hero, and I ain’t ever played Dragon Quest.

Solid lineup of character choices. Fun to play as.

Wasted slots and I hope Sakurai never worked on another Smash game.

Estos personajes se sienten tan bien, incluso hay varios que agregan cosas nuevas o mecánicas. Mi favorito es Banjo-Kazooie.


all five fighters are great additions. high point of Hero, low point of Byleth (aesthetically; Byleth's gameplay is fantastic)

not enough JRPG sword fighters

Cool new fighters, Banjo in Smash was a legendary moment for us.

Ah Yes, What A Great DLC

We Have:
Joker: He's 16 And Has A Gun, A Very Certified American Moment
Hero: Hoes Mad
Banjo-Kazooie: Guh Hu Why Is This Moveset Kinda Ass (Okay Fr I Actually Kinda Like Their Moveset Tbh)
Terry: Hey Hey Are You Okay Why Does Nobody Play Me
Byleth: OMG URGH EW WHY MORE FIRE EMBLEM AND SWORDFIGHTERS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Got my most wanted character and a handful of characters I thought would be cool additions. Not perfect but very close to it.

Hero and Banjo-Kazooie were the best picks because of popularity but other than that I didn't even know who Terry or Byleth were and in my opinion I think they are just bland overall (BK is too but again, they were heavily requested) Joker is fine tho no hard feelings against that inclusion. For movesets the really only truly unique one is Hero's and maybe Jokers... competitive wise Joker, Terry and Byleth are the most viable and the other two are mid tier at best (Hero low high tier MAYBE (I play competitively btw))

Pretty good for the first batch of DLC.

Definitely the more "fair" Fighters Pass out of the two.

Nintendo was brave to end this pass off with Byleth.

Ultimate didn't have many new fighters at launch due to it's enormous scale, which is entirely understandable. But even so, I was starving for new fighters and when jonkler was teased I was excirted. prior to his announcement I never even played a persona title nevertheless I was still excited just to see a brand new character in this game. Hero was leaked befoore the direct so I expected him to show up and wasn't very excited or surpised. but in the same direct Banjo showed up and surprised the fuck ouit of me. I was NOT expected that. and in the same direct they reveealed 'BOTW 2' no less. Terry was cool, I always love to see fighting game rep in a smash game. I love taking a moveset and translating it to a different game, similar to how they tackled akuma in tekken or ryu in ssb4. Byleth fucking sucks I was floored when i watched that reveal. I was in fucking 2nd period math class and couldn't believe my eyes.
Overall it was solid. Really strange and unexopected chopices that really don't have much chemistry with each other, but variety.

The reveal of some of these characters was so good. I didn't know who Terry was prior, but I sure as hell do now. The characters all play great in their own ways, and I don't think it could have gone better. And yes, Byleth was a good addition. Moving on.

I give Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: Fighters Pass a light 8!

A great DLC pass well worth the money for the characters you get.

Good collections of fighters.

While somewhat lacking in variety, I think that this pass still offers a good selection of characters that have been highly requested.

it has a three houses character and is smash ultimate dlc so it gets the same rating as three houses and smash ultimate

REALLY solid start to the Smash Ultimate DLC, Joker, Hero, Banjo and Terry are all very nice deserving characters.

Their stages and soundtracks bring a lot of lovely content to the game as well~

And then they put Byleth and ruined an almost 5/5 banger lineup

A good selection of characters that really add to the enjoyment and longevity of the game. It also added my favorite character which is Hero, he is so cool

The best things about the first fighters pass was that most of the characters introduced by it were pretty fun and not amazing meta-wise, but most of the reveals of the characters weren't that hype (other than banjos).


BANJO! JOKER! HERO! Terry! Byleth.... Even though I would've loved a better pick for the fifth slot, Byleth's moveset is still fun.

This is where Smash Ultimate peaked in my opinion.

Joker: a bit of a overhyped original game, but cool addition.
Hero: very big franchise, the alts representing the franchise as a whole instead of just being DQXI promotion helps. Music sucks, though.
Banjo & Kazooie: awesome addition despite the not so great moveset execution. Only of two DLC characters that feels like fanservice was the main goal.
Terry: favorite pack ever for how much representation of SNK franchises there is.
Byleth: I like Three Houses and what they did with the character, but the trailer sucked and it was the most scummy thing to repeat a Corrin situation.

The Fighters Pass is a very solid lineup of welcome additions that make Smash Ultimate an even better game, but all I'm saying is Poochy had potential. He could've been a pretty gnarly DLC fighter.
