—Introduction Tagline

The Hero is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was announced during the E3 Nintendo Direct on June 11th, 2019 as the third DLC character and is the second downloadable character for the Fighters Pass. The Hero is classified as fighter #72.

Attributes

• The Hero's default costume is the Luminary from Dragon Quest XI, but has skins based on Erdrick from Dragon Quest III, the hero from Dragon Quest VIII, and the male hero from Dragon Quest IV.
• Their shield can block incoming projectiles, akin to Link, Young Link and Toon Link. Their crouch also resembles the aforementioned characters.
• They have a special mechanic known as an "MP Gauge", which depletes with each spell that they use.
  • The maximum amount of MP is 100.
• Slime appears in some capacity, likely as part of the Hero's taunts.

Known Moveset

The Hero has a plethora of attacks shown off in the trailer, which include:

• A three-hit jab attack, with the first two hits being slashes going straight up and straight down and the final hit having them swipe their sword inward.
• A jumping slash attack similar to Link's. This is presumably dash attack.
• A two-hit attack, a shield bash that's followed up by an outward slash. This is presumably forward tilt.
• A single, strong upward arc slash. This is presumably up smash.
• A back aerial attack that is a sword swipe behind their back, which resembles Joker's back air.
• One of their moves has the Hero choose between a variety of spells, even standing in a "thinking" position.
• In conjunction with their new MP Gauge, the Hero has a plethora of magical attacks:
  • Sizzle, a fireball that is presumably chargeable.
  • An unnamed electric bolt that the Hero shoots from his sword.Possibly Zap.
  • A second unnamed electric attack that the Hero sends out as a projectile. Possibly Kazap.
  • An unnamed attack that has the Hero point his sword upward before slashing down at the opponent, dealing massive knockback. Possibly related to Oomph.
  • Snooze, which is a projectile that sends opponents to sleep if it connects.
  • Bounce, which reflects projectiles. The move lingers for a little while.
  • Krackle Slash, which is a physical slash that freezes opponents.
  • Kaclang, which encases the Hero in metal and prevents them from taking knockback.
  • Zoom, which allows the Hero to fly up vertically. This presumably also creates tornados beneath them.
  • Kamikazee, which has The Hero self-destruct, doing massive knockback to nearby opponents.
  • Psyche Up, a buffing move that surrounds the Hero in a purple aura, increasing his tension.
