"For those who do not wish to know the remaining two fighters please look away:
There's a Western character and a Japanese created character.
The western one is Doom Guy but in his classic look, not the 2016 one. I am not sure what the map is as I've not played the original games, but it's styled like the old games. 3D world but 2D sprites.
The Japanese (or eastern) themed, and final character is Monkey D. Luffy . Default is his post-timeskip look however you can switch to the pre-timeskip look and recolour similar to the coloured anime. This is set to rock the japanese audience as it's the best selling Manga of all time.
That character is the reason the "Straw Hat" Mii costume from Smash 4 is not available in Smash Ultimate as it will be part of the new Mii Costumes.
His Stage will be the Thousand Sunny, which is a ship. It is not like the Wind Waker stage where you climb from side of the ship to the other. It is focused on the main deck and you can climb the mast with obstacles appearing now and then.
That's all I can remember off the top of my head. I'll be here to answer any questions for a bit."
The anime was a tie-in with the video game, Lucario was made for the game and nothing more. It doesn’t matter which technically came out first, it was made for the game. You are never getting anime characters in Smash, you have your own fighting games already.

He was literally a float at the macy day parade last year. Dragon ball still draws billions of dollars and is popular in the west and east. One piece is a baby compared to dragon ball anything else is a cope.Goku has ironically enough had more video games than most of the roster combined. The only franchises with more games then Dragon Ball is Mario and Pokemon. Artist style has nothing to do with it.

Hypothetically speaking how many stevefags would an hero if this happened?
Luffy is basically confirmed for several reasons: >a crossover has happened before >bandai namco develop SSBU with sakurai and publish OP games >2nd biggest shonen mangaka has already had his designs in smash >Strawhat from SSB4 was removed in SSBU (likely to be sold as DLC)
Christopher Stewart
Anime is never getting into Smash. NEVER. Deal with it. :)
David Thomas
Thats manga sales. As a franchise dragon ball is way more profitable.
Dominic Rivera
This isn’t the first time this thread has been posted
In fact it’s a copypasta at this point
But god damn I want luffy to be in.
Logan Jones
By profitable you mean eaten up by dumb americans that love seeing piccolo do a driving test? ok
Easton Peterson
>what is pikachu.
Camden Howard
So fucking mad.
Zachary Edwards
No you bumbling retard that episode is good. Profitable as in how many fucking different DVD and Blu-ray’s they’ve made of DBZ in the west where it’s censored, uncensored, Kai, falconer OST, etc
Liam Barnes
I agree it has no place. But if one were to get in, anything else but goku would be silly.
Jaxson Russell
That’s a mascot change more than anything because Pikachu was in red and blue. but I get where you’re coming from
Ian Gutierrez
Goddamn smashtards
Zachary Price
>a crossover has happened before OK, so what? Nintendo has shoved references and costumes into so many games by now that characters like Rayman and Reimu are confirmed by this logic. >bandai namco develop SSBU with sakurai and publish OP games OK, so what? Nintendo picked the reps and Sakurai chose from their list, and he has been vocal about not including anime characters. >2nd biggest shonen mangaka has already had his designs in smash Doesn’t matter. >Strawhat from SSB4 was removed in SSBU (likely to be sold as DLC) So many other costumes have been removed that were generic and derivative, doesn’t confirm anything.
Kayden Nguyen
Fighters just announced big goku and other fusion goku and you want goku in smash?
Fighters burnt me out on gokus. Especially considering online is just vegitos after vegitos now
David Moore
Well that and the number of actual solid games, actual good movies and worthwhile merchandise. Don't be mad that dragon ball actually has universal appeal and marketable characters
Jose Ross
Your whole argument is “okay so what” which has as much merit as the “leak” you’re arguing
