As you can see in the slides below, fans are geeking out over the addition of Pyra and Mythra. The pair are the latest characters from Xenoblade franchise to join the Super Smash Bros. series, and they will bring something fun for new and old players. The characters will be allowed to swap mid-battle to give your enemies pause, and Pyra’s fire abilities will frustrate even the most talented Link player.
Currently, there is no hard release date for this DLC addition, but fans are eager to try the duo out. Of course, that means there are others who are less than impressed. Plenty of fans were hoping for additions like Sora from Kingdom Hearts, and some have yet to give up on their pleas for Goku. Still, Pyra and Mythra are two beloved characters in the Nintendo Universe, so die-hard Smash players will get to test these fighters soon!
