Super Smash Bros.Ultimate has been a huge hit with fans and critics with many praising its vast fighter roster and its game mechanics. The roster of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has continued to grow since its release, with DLC packs that have brought characters from the history of Nintendo as well as some more left-field additions like Banjo and Kazooie. One fan has now manipulated the appearances of all these fighters to ensure that they are safe during the coronavirus pandemic.
The Super Smash Bros. games pit famous fighters against each other as players attempt to beat their opponents. The premise is simple, but Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has been acclaimed for its implementation of these elements as well as its varying difficulty. On top of this, a lot of players have enjoyed playing with their favorite characters and mastering their skills. A dedicated fan has now created their content by manipulating the images of the famous fighters.
Gleed updated their Imgur library with incredibly timely images of the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster wearing face masks. Each fighter that is wearing the protective gear has emblems to match their franchise and is color-coded so that the mask blends with the character. This is fantastically detailed work and it is clear that plenty of time and effort has gone into making these images look like a natural addition to the characters.
Characters like Snake from the Metal Gear Solid franchise are well suited to the additional mask and they showcase the detail that has gone into this project as the mask has the alert signal emblem on it which is now color-matched with the character. The full gallery of characters can be accessed here.
Many players will enjoy scrolling through this gallery and seeing their favorite characters in protective gear. There will be some fans that would like to see these masks in-game but they would likely have to come in the form of a fan-made mod as Nintendo seems to be working on new updates. With that said, there are plenty of mods for Smash Bros. Ultimate so fans may be able to play as characters with masks eventually.
There are constant rumors about what the future holds for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and many expect even more fighters to arrive in the game. While it is unclear whether masked will be implemented through mods or Nintendo, many will hope to see the new characters that are added to the game featured in this impressive gallery.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is available now for the Nintendo Switch.
