Super Smash Bros Ultimate leaked characters make for a great roster

Seven Super Smash Bros. Ultimate characters have purportedly leaked, revealing the title’s potential full roster.

The leak comes from a Snapchat video taken by an employee at a French printing company. As the employee’s ID was visible in the video, it’s been used to track him down on LinkedIn, and that in turn has shown a connection between the employer itself and developer Bandai Namco. A still taken from a Snapchat video with the full roster allegedly points to the following new characters:

  • Ken (Street Fighter)
  • Shadow the Hedgehog (Sonic the Hedgehog)
  • Isaac (Golden Sun)
  • Geno (Super Mario RPG)
  • Chorus Kids (Rhythm Heaven)
  • Banjo-Kazooie (Banjo-Kazooie)
  • Mach Rider (Mach Rider)

Images of the video are below (via ResetEra).

While Banjo-Kazooie might seem like a stretch, considering the character is owned by Rare and Microsoft, Xbox head Phil Spencer has been open about the character appearing in Smash.

Nintendo has yet to comment on the leaked roster.

Super Smash Bros. heads to Nintendo Switch on 7 December.
