The Super Smash Bros Character Predictions meme has been a staple of gaming culture since the Brawl and Wii U eras, reaching its peak during the release cycle of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. These memes typically utilize the iconic 'New Challenger Approaching' screen or a blank character roster to speculate on future DLC additions or reveal fake leaks. The humor often stems from the contrast between highly anticipated fan favorites like Geno or Waluigi and the reality of Nintendo choosing a more obscure third-party guest or another Fire Emblem sword-wielder. It serves as both a serious tool for fan speculation and a sarcastic commentary on the chaotic nature of Nintendo's fighter selection process.
