Master Chief Hand.
I've speculated from the beginning the last character will be a playable Master Hand to bookend the series.

I feel like Master Hand not only represents (obviously) the final boss of the original game, but in a way, Sakurai too. In the opening of Smash 64, you see the master hand playing with the toys, bringing them to life…

I think it would be a nice throwback, tho maybe disappointing to people wanting another licensed character.

Technically it was already playable in World of Light.

Going by the polls, it's probably Sora.

But if Disney/Square plays hard to get, maybe Waluigi, Geno or Crash.

The polls don't really mean anything as if both passes are anything to go by.

I mean I know Sora's really popular but if you can get Disney to agree to let you put Sora in your game, don't you put Mickey Mouse in instead?

I'm fine with whoever they decide. It's already an incredible roster of characters, and while I'd love a Master Chief or a Doom Guy, I'm content with what we've got. I just hope it's something that makes Sakurai happy.

The three characters I would LOVE that haven't been Mii costumes are Sora, Master Chief and Doomslayer. I'm not holding my breath for any of them, but I would probably be a little bummed if they didn't show up.

Either Master Chief or the Doom Slayer. Even though Master Chief would be ideal to "Finish the Fight". I'm not into collectibles that much, but it would be awesome to have a Master Chief amiibo.

Because it's not called Ultimate in Japan.

It's called "Special" instead. So not exactly a confirmation that Sakurai believes this to be a "regular, non-special version of Smash Bros." as you're implying.

Before June 2019 when FP2 was greenlit, Byleth would've been the final character. They don't care about ending with a bang.

I literally gave you an example of them ending with a bang. One that is definitely more definitive than Fighter's Pass 1.

I'd say Sora but it really needs to be a woman. Rabbid Peach is an incredible shout but I'd personally like Tomb Raider.

Jill Valentine won't happen as she was added as a spirit after release. The same applies to all the concerned series/IP, and I'm not talking about stuff that was present in the base game like Min Min's spirit. That should reduce the possibilities a bit.

I think Master Chief would be the biggest thing they could end it with third-party wise, and I'm struggling to think of a first party character that they would add in that would warrant a spot to end the lineup with

But the "last thing" for Smash Ultimate has been really underwhelming the last two times (Byleth for the first fighters pass and Incineroar/Ken as the last two base game characters), I really don't know if they care about whether the last character is going to be internet breaking. I think Ultimate is going to end with a whimper (and it'll be fine because Jesus Christ at the character list, me and my friends actually felt the character select was a little overwhelming after I downloaded the second fighters pass. There's enough characters lmao)

I feel the last one is a Sakurai pick and it's going to be something big to him personally if anything

I'll throw everything to the wind.

1. Promote Let's Go Eevee to playable Pokémon status, with all elemental moves in its moveset.

2. Kubfu or one of its evolutions.

3. Okami's Amaterasu.

4. A Yakuza character, either Kiryu or Kasuga.

Either Waluigi or a new Pokemon. I think it would be a mistake to not have the last character be first party.

I already got my dream pick with Ridley, but I still hope its something special. I wouldnt mind Master Chief or the Doom Marine, but I also like the idea of a playable Master Hand.

Demi-Fiend or Nahobino

There were no Jack Frost or other SMT references with Joker.

There's been no SMT spirit event, not even with Nocturne HD.

There's been no SMT Mii costumes.

SMT has such a long history with Nintendo, to the point where every mainline game except for NINE and Nocturne were originally released on Nintendo platforms, and Nocturne has now been released on Switch.

All the characters I would legitimately want are already in via assist trophies or Mii costumes.

Except for Rayman I guess, but Ubisoft doesn't really care about that franchise anymore.

Edit: Oh! And I still want Wonder Red or any of the Wonderful 101 crew but that ship's long since sailed I think.

Edit 2: Okay and Viewtiful Joe too, on that note, but see the Ubisoft comment and swap in Capcom instead.

I just want a fun quirky Nintendo pick. I'm kinda done with guests for now. Let Sakurai use his wild energy and tap into a weirdo pick from Nintendo's past.

Not bothered who it is as the last one I got was bayonetta. I do hope they have a great reveal though for all the fans and that it can have its swan song because the support for the game has been amazing.

Did you say Bayonetta or Incineroar?

Bayonetta, the last DLC fighter in Smash Bros. 4.

If they can save a character as big as them (i.e. a character that won a months-long fighter's ballot) for the last DLC fighter of that game (i.e. a game without a defined 'Season Pass' like Ultimate), then there's no reason to believe that they're 100% going to feature some rando for the ending to this game's DLC run.

Sakurai himself. He is the strongest Character ever but you have to use two Pro controller to play with him.

Nintendo actively tried to add everyone from this popularity poll, some of them as playable characters, others as costumes.
I would be very surprised if Sora or Crash didn't appear in some way.

Nah. This is the ultimate Smash game. It should be one of the biggest game characters to end with. This is Sakurai's legacy. Any Nintendo character can wait until the next game

I prefer thinking that Piranha Plant is the actual last character of the base roster. It's different from all of the other DLC since it doesn't have a cinematic trailer, came basically for free, and has a proper Palutena's Guidance.
