Super Smash Bros Ultimate

After confirming the arrival of Pyra and Mythra Super Smash Bros Ultimate in the latest Nintendo Direct, Masahiro Sakurai publishes a new in-depth video on the two fighters coming from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 to illustrate in detail their abilities and combat system. >
The latest video in the company of Mr. Sakurai allowed the director of the iconic brawler fighting game exclusively on Nintendo Switch to describe in great detail all the moves and fighting techniques to be mastered by interpreting these two proud warriors coming from the action-role dimension of Monolith Soft's blockbuster fantasy.

Pyra and Mythra will be the pivot around which all the news of the fourth additional content of SSBU's Figherts Pass 2 will focus, hence the effort made by Sora's team Ltd. to provide fans with an even more original range of bindings. Although belonging to the (for some too large) family of swordsmen fighters, the two warriors of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 will use unique animations and will adopt a set of moves in their own right that will be parallel and complementary to that of the other selectable heroes in the wide roster of SSBU fighters.

In addition to the deepening on the gameplay and the contents of the add-on package, at the end of the special Sakurai confirmed that it will be possible to play Pyra and Mythra in the digital arenas of Super Smash Bros Ultimate starting tomorrow, Friday 5th March. The DLC dedicated to them will also feature Alrest's Sea of ​​Clouds stage, various music tracks from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and the new Mii costumes from Ghosts' n Goblins and Monster Hunter.

March 4 was a pretty enjoyable day for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. We got a good look at the newest DLC fighter coming to the Fighters Pass Volume 2 collection. Coming from Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Pyra and Mythra are two sides of the same coin, with the former bringing fire and power to her arsenal and the latter bringing speed and the element of light. So when can you play them? According to Smash Bros. Ultimate Director Masahiro Sakurai, later today!


Sakurai went into full details on Pyra and Mythra for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in a Mr. Sakurai Presents livestream on March 4, 2021. We got a good look at how Pyra and Mythra handle, including the ability to switch between the two characters at will. Where Pyra has power for netting KOs, Mythra features speed for more easily connecting attacks. That makes them a formidable all-in-one duo. What’s more, we’ll be able to play them perhaps sooner than expected. Pyra and Mythra release on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as singular DLC or part of Fighters Pass Volume 2 on later on March 4, 2021.

Of course, as always, Mythra and Pyra also come with a new stage in the form of the Cloud Sea of Alrest, in which the stage is set on the back of a sky dragon as players sour through the clouds around Titans from Xenoblade Chronicles 2. A wealth of music from the game will also release with Mythra and Pyra today. And just for fun, here's what Kirby will look like when he swallows them.
