The final Super Smash Bros. Ultimate livestream is happenin today, October 5, at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET. You could call it the Final Smash. Anyway, as mentioned in the September 23 Nintendo Direct showcase, this upcoming reveal will show the last character addition to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It is, according to Nintendo, “The final presentation.” The last character ever released for this version of the game will be unveiled. Could it be Waluigi? Could it be Sora? Could it be another Fire Emblem character with blue hair and a sword? We’ll just have to wait and see. [Update: The stream is happening right now, and in addition to some new Mii Fighter costumes (including Doomguy), we learn that Sora is Smash Ultimate’s final DLC fighter.]
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate released in 2018 and since then has received a steady supply of new characters and DLCs. What’s next for the Super Smash Bros. universe is unknown, but you can tune into the livestream to catch Ultimate’s 82nd and final new character reveal.

What to Expect From Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Livestream
The final character and their release date, as well as final Mii costumes, will headline the livestream. There are lots of rumors about which exact character will round out the roster of Smash Bros. Ultimate–popular guesses include Sora from Kingdom Hearts–but nothing concrete has been established yet.
The hefty livestream–40 minutes!–will go in-depth on the final character’s mechanics and how they’ll fight in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. DLC characters usually get a unique stage and music, so we should see more information about that as well.
This character will be included in the Fighters Pass Vol. 2, which is a bundle that includes a total of six DLC characters. It costs $30, but if you only want to go for a single character, prices are $6 per DLC.
