Both of its Wii U and 3DS versions have receive numerous contents such as extra stages and costumes. But the biggest content updates for the game are the characters that Nintendo rolls out. Currently, there are four DLC characters; MewTwo from “Pokemon,” Roy from “Fire Emblem,” Lucas from “Mother 3,” and the most recent is Ryu from “Street Fighter.”

Players could still see an additional fighter since Nintendo is yet to announce the winner of the Fighter Ballot. The poll, launched in April, asks fans of the game to vote on a character that they would like to make an appearance in the game. Fans have speculated that the winner of the poll is K.Rool from the “Donkey Kong” series, mainly because of the new Mii costume based on the character. However, Nintendo is yet to announce a leader and the poll will be open till Oct. 3.
