A few days ago, Reddit user “shinyquagsire23” decrypted the Patch 1.06 files in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS. This led to the rumor that both Street Fighter‘s Ryu and Fire Emblem‘s Roy are planned to be included as fighters in future DLC. In another discovery from the same update files, Quagsire has also found evidence that has led many to believe that Super Smash Bros. will be getting a total of five more fighters and another seven stages.

In regards to fighters, the evidence can be found in the fighter table. After Mewtwo, there are five additional locations that are listed as “Mario,” seemingly indicating that five more characters are planned to make their way to the game. We know one of those spots is reserved for Lucas, who is coming this June. Taking into account that Ryu and Roy are likely to be added, this give us two more spots to fill. Of these spots, it can be assumed that at least one of them will be filled with the winner of the Smash character ballot. As for the last spot, it could very well be used for the runner-up in the ballots or simply for a character they haven’t announced yet.

Another idea for additional content that doesn’t seem to be discussed a lot is new stages. Looking at the stage table this time, Quagsire noticed that there was an increase in the number of available slots for stages. Previously, there were four open spaces, but with the update, there are now fourteen. This seems to indicate an additional fourteen stages at first, but remembering that each stage has an omega form, this number gets cut in half, resulting in a possibility of seven stages. The addition of two new Kirby songs seems to indicate that one of these stages could be based on a Kirby title.

With the surplus of Super Smash Bros. DLC rumors flying about, it can be hard to know what to believe. This theory seems to have some good evidence to back it up, but ultimately it’s still not confirmed, so it’s wise to take that into account. What are your opinions on this idea?
