The roster for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is complete. Sort of. During a Nintendo Direct presentation, Smash director Masahiro Sakurai confirmed that Ken, Ryu's legendary Street Fighter rival, and Incineroar, a feline Pokemon that debuted in Sun and Moon, will be playable characters. That means the game will have a staggering 74 combatants at launch. Ken will be an 'echo fighter' of Ryu and based on his appearance in Super Street Fighter II Turbo. He'll play like Ryu but have some unique moves such as his hell wheel fling and Shippu Jinraikyaku final Smash. Incineroar, meanwhile, will be focused around wrestler-style grapples and throws.
