Then there are the Spirits, which expands the roster greatly, even if the characters aren’t necessarily playable. How did fans react to them?

Ken! Piranha Plant?!? Spirits look interesting. Could be cool. Looking forward to the adventure mode. I’m one of the few who liked Subspace Emissary in Brawl, mostly because it was so weird. Yep, I am excited for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

How many system designers died to create the Spirits mode in Super Smash Bros Ultimate?

Next up, some of the fans couldn’t help but speak up about the DLC plan for the game, via the Fighters Pass:

More fighters can be added later for Super Smash Bros via DLC. So our hopes of Wart being in Super Smash Bros Ultimate haven’t been, “Smashed” yet.

Super Smash Bros Ultimate will have DLC? Will that mean later there will be a Super Smash Bros Ultimate Ultimate that actually includes all the content?

Please make him paid DLC @Nintendo for Super Smash Bros Ultimate! Captain N would just blow the minds of so many Gen NESers like myself being a playable character. pic.twitter.com/je0VPKlHv6

Last but not least, the World of Light story mode certainly has a lot of players set for the game’s release next month:

*my jaw rips off after seeing Piranha Plant as a DLC character, Zelda speaking, the World of Light, & the vocal version of the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate main theme*

Only thing I loved about the direct other then the *slight* story mode we are getting in Smash. //t.co/2GP0r9WBTN
