New details revealed for Pyra and Mythra, coming today for Super Smash Bros Ultimate
As promised, Nintendo hosted the latest Super Smash Bros Ultimate live stream overnight, where game director Sakurai-san detailed Pyra and Mythra, check it out. The big news is that the DLC will be available later today, so there isn’t much of a wait at all.
Pyra and Mythra are technically one fighter on the selection screen, but players can alternate between them at any time during battle. Pyra specializes in power, while Mythra excels in speed. By changing between the two fighters, players can juggle attacking with powerful abilities using Pyra and swiftly leaping around the battlefield with Mythra. This strategic dual dance makes Pyra/Mythra a unique fighter in the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate lineup.
Here are a selection of screens, showing off the fighters, including one showing off their shared colours in action.
The new stage that players will receive in Challenger Pack 9 is called Cloud Sea of Alrest, based on one of the most recognizable settings in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. The stage is set on the back of Azurda, a massive creature that swims through the Sea of Clouds. As Azurda travels through the world, players will see familiar characters and sights from Xenoblade Chronicles 2, including flying ships, Titans and vast kingdoms. Characters from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 will make appearances as well, so fans of the game should always be on the lookout to see who will pop up.
dditionally, launching alongside Pyra/Mythra are new paid Mii Fighter costumes, including Arthur’s Armor and Helm from the Ghosts ’N Goblins series, the Rathalos Armor and Helm, and the Hunter Armor and Helm from the Monster Hunter series.
