It’s coming up on three years since the launch ofSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateon the Nintendo Switch, but the game is still getting regular support from Nintendo. This includes new DLC fighters that have been added to the game’s roster on a regular basis, bringing with them new stages, Mii costumes, and more for fans to expand theirSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateexperience. There are still twoSuper Smash Bros. UltimateDLC characters that have yet to be revealed for the second Fighters Pass, and one leaker has made a rather unbelievable claim about who they will be.
Twitter user Archer has made the claim that the next DLC fighters for the crossover fighting game are none other than Dante fromDevil May Cryand, shockingly, Arthur Morgan fromRed Dead Redemption 2. WhileDante has been rumored forSuper Smash Bros.in the past, Arthur Morgan would be a completely out-of-left-field choice and seems highly unlikely.

Red Dead Redemption 2is not available on the Nintendo Switch, and in fact, there are very little Rockstar Games that have ever been replaced on Nintendo’s platforms. There are some exceptions, like the acclaimedGrand Theft Auto: Chinatown Warson the Nintendo DS, but generally speaking, Rockstar has stuck to releasing its games on PlayStation and Xbox. This makes the likelihood of Arthur Morgan being a DLC character forSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatebasically nonexistent, but that hasn’t stopped the tweet from gaining some traction online.
The reason why some people are taking Archer’s tweet seriously is because the accountappearsto have accurately leakedSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatenews in the past. There are tweets that show the account predictingSephiroth as a DLC characterprior to the announcement, as well asMonster HunterMii costumes before they were revealed as well. However, some Twitter users have accused Archer of using the “Twitter trick,” which essentially amounts to making a bunch of guesses and then deleting the inaccurate ones. This gives the illusion that the person in question has insider information and makes people more likely to believe their later claims.
If Arthur Morganiscoming toSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, though, one possibility could be due to the leaked Nintendo Switch Pro console. Unlike this claim about theSuper Smash Bros. UltimateDLC characters, the Nintendo Switch Pro has been leaked by credible sources, and its reveal is a matter of “when” and not “if.” TheNintendo Switch Pro could have exclusive gamesthat aren’t possible to run on the original Switch, and maybeRed Dead Redemption 2is one of those exclusive games.
Even so, this claim seems very hard to believe, and fans should know within a few months if they should bother taking this seriously at all. If the nextSuper Smash Bros. UltimateDLC fighter isn’t Dante orArthur Morgan, then fans can completely dismiss these claims. But if Dante is revealed as the next DLC fighter, then it would be a lot easier to believe that Arthur Morgan is next up, as unlikely as it may seem.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimateis out now, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
