In case you somehow missed it, Sora from the Kingdom Hearts franchise was announced as the final DLC fighter for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate this morning, much to the dismay of those hoping for other much-hyped potential inclusions like Waluigi or Master Chief from Halo. But there was one long-rumored fighter that was announced in addition to Sora. Well, kind of. Doom Slayer is officially making his way to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate alongside the release of Sora on October 18th… as a Mii Fighter in-game costume.

You read that correctly: Doom Slayer of Doom franchise fame is coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a Mii Fighter in-game costume. At this point, fans are liable to be thankful that he showed up at all given the constant request over the years for the character to make an appearance. The other two Mii Fighter in-game costumes revealed today are an Octoling wig and Judd hat, both from the Splatoon franchise.

“Having a fan-favorite character like Sora join the ranks of Super Smash Bros.
