Xenoblade Chronicles 2’s leading ladies are ready to join the fight.

After it was announced last week during the first Nintendo Direct in a long time, Pyra and Mythra join the roster of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate sometime later today. The two characters were shown off in an almost hour-long presentation from a very lonely-looking Masahiro Sakurai. They behave a little bit like Zelda and Sheik, as a character that can swap between two forms on the fly in-battle. Pyra seems to be a bit more of a heavy hitter, while Mythra is a lot faster and a lot more mobile, offering a wide range of strategies for players who really want to get stuck into all the technical details of the fighter. You can watch the gameplay showcase below:
It was also announced that four new Mii Fighter costumes would be available at the same time — two Monster Hunter armour sets, a Palico (from Monster Hunter, again) hat, and a costume for Arthur, from Ghosts’n’Goblins. Like other costumes, these will be available for purchase separately from the Fighter Pass 2, usually coming in at $1.05 AUD a pop.
There are still two Fighters left to join the battle before the year is out, so let us know in the comments who you’d like to see!
