Super Smash Bros. Ultimate already has one of the largest rosters of any fighting game at a whopping 75 characters.

Despite this, we already have more DLC on the horizon.

The next character up is Joker. Joker is the protagonist of the stellar RPG Persona 5 and will no doubt bring with him heaps of style and hopefully some funky music.

While there are still four more characters in this batch yet to be announced, it looks as though there could be even more.

A Dataminer and Modder named HALO HYPE found that there were 16 dummy slots in the World of Light mode.

While last months DLC fighter Piranha Plant used up one of these, it means there could be another two packs of five characters in the future for the game.

The current batch of DLC remains mostly unannounced. Although a previous datamine did give us some clues as to who these four fighters could be.

There is Erdrick from the Dragon Quest series. This one makes a lot of sense given Dragon Quest 11 is releasing later this year on the Switch.

We have Ryu Hayabusa from the Ninja Gaiden series, a natural fit given the old-school ties between the series and good old Nintendo.

Then we could be getting Steve from Minecraft. Steve is the name of the default character you play as.

While the series is owned by Microsoft, there have been other indications of the two companies becoming strange bedfellows.

The final character is perhaps the wildest as it is Doomguy - the guy from Doom. You might think he is a bit too adult for the series, but just keep in mind that Bayonetta is a witch who gets naked when she fights.

With a line-up like this, it makes you wonder who else we could get?

It really looks like Nintendo are reaching outside of their own games.

Does this mean we could get the protagonist from Dragon's Dogma?

Maybe a character from Monster Hunter? It might all sound absurd, but is any of it any more ridiculous than Doomguy?

The important thing is we never get Waluigi, because he is a mistake.
