*'''''{{iw|wikipedia|Ehrgeiz}}''''' is a 3D arena fighting game made by DreamFactory, developer of the ''Tobal'' series, and released jointly by [[Square]] and [[Namco]] in December 1998. It featured characters from ''Final Fantasy VII'' like {{SSB4|Cloud}} and {{SSBU|Sephiroth}} as guest fighters. Some of Cloud's and Sephiroth's moves (which also may have been borrowed from the {{uv|Tekken}} and ''Tobal'' games due to ''Ehrgeiz'' reusing a lot of animations from those games), such as their down tilts and Sephiroth's forward smash, originated from this game. The animation of the last three hits of [[Cross Slash]] is based on its animation from this game.

*'''''[[wikipedia:Omega Force#Games|Warriors]]''''' is a hack-and-slash series by Omega Force (stylized as ω-Force) and Koei Tecmo (previously Koei prior to their merger with Tecmo). Originally a spin-off to Koei's ''Romance of the Three Kingdoms'' series titled ''Dynasty Warriors'', the game would spawn an entire sub-series of games under the ''Warriors'' title or otherwise have the same type of gameplay. While the first game in the series is a one-on-one fighting game, its sequels and spin-offs adopted the style of the player controlling several generals on an open map and mowing down hordes of enemies while simultaneously managing the positions and actions of allied forces until the enemy has fallen or surrendered. The franchise includes crossovers such as {{uv|Dragon Quest}}, {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}}, ''Fire Emblem'', and ''Persona''. Spirits from ''{{iw|zeldawiki|Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity}}'' appeared in ''Ultimate'' via a [[Spirit Board]] event. Additionally, Sophia from ''{{iw|wikipedia|Persona 5 Strikers}}'', a ''Persona 5'' spin-off, is available as a spirit for those who have save data from the game in the system. She would be available to purchase from the [[Shop]] as of version 12.0.0.
