Ultimate’s newest character is Isabelle, the mayoral assistant shih tzu from 2013’s Animal Crossing: New Leaf. She was announced during today’s Nintendo Direct. > Isabelle is the ninth all-new character who will join a roster comprising every fighter who has ever appeared in the Smash Bros. series over its 20-year history. That’s more than 70 characters, meaning the number of totally new stars in Ultimate will be smaller than those who debuted in Melee (14), Brawl (18) and Super Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS (24).
