Nintendo has built something grand with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, making it the biggest fighting game in history since its launch in 2018. It also has a massive array of character representation across the game, from playable fighters, to spirits, to different Mii costumes. Only one more DLC fighter for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate remains, which will conclude the game's DLC development. While fans clamor to debate about what character or video game franchise should be represented as the final DLC fighter, Nintendo has also shown a willingness to add special Mii costumes to the mix.

Recently, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate confirmed several new Mii costumes would be added to the game, including some franchises that fans have been hopeful for. Characters like the Dragonborn from Skyrim and Lloyd Irving from Tales of Symphonia are now playable as Mii Swordfighters, as well as Dante from Devil May Cry. The indie scene received some representation as well, as the titular character from WayForward's Shantae series is now playable as a Mii Brawler. With other indie representation in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate already, from Undertale to Cuphead, there are even more indie characters that should be added as Mii fighters.

Zagreus from Hades

One of the best indie games to come out of 2020, Hades has captured the hearts of millions of players. Not only do many Hades fans want to see the game's protagonist in Nintendo's fighting game, but even the creative director for Hades wants Zagreus in Smash. Even though Zagreus could have plenty of potential as the final DLC fighter, his inclusion as a Mii costume or special fighter would be well-deserved. Plus, the incredible music in Supergiant Games' Hades could easily translate into a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate music track.

Zagreus could also have the unique potential to have a version for each Mii fighter class, since there are multiple weapons he can use in Hades. Zagreus using his Stygian Blade could be a Mii Swordfighter, while him using the Coronacht bow could work for a Mii Gunner. A Mii Brawler version of Zagreus could make use of his Aegis shield, or even the Twin Fists of Malphon.

The Imposter from Among Us

While it's not a new game, most are now familiar with Innersloth's Among Us thanks to its explosion in popularity through Twitch. In the wake of the newfound success for Among Us, the developers continue to add new content and updates to the game, keeping it fresh for returning players. Now that Among Us is available on the Nintendo Switch, it would be fun to give this successful indie social deduction game some representation in Smash. A simple Crewmate or Imposter-themed costume could be an interesting addition, but the creation of a full-fledged Mii Brawler based on the Imposter's attacks could also be great.

The Knight from Hollow Knight

Even though Hollow Knight: Silksong may not release in 2021, the inclusion of Hollow Knight into super Smash Bros. Ultimate could drum up more anticipation for the sequel's inevitable release. The silent protagonist in Hollow Knight wouldn't be too much of a change from the typical Mii Swordfighter, making it worthy of consideration. With the success of Hollow Knight, it is interesting that the series hasn't yet been included in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Unless it is being considered for the final DLC fighter spot, The Knight should definitely be included in the game through Mii customization.

Shovel Knight

Of the many spirits in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, a few are from Yacht Club Games' Shovel Knight series. While the titular Shovel Knight also appears as an assist trophy in game, that doesn't erase the possibility of his inclusion as a special Mii fighter. The Shovel Knight games also boast some fun music that could be worthwhile new tracks for Smash. Shovel Knight could have some fun costume pieces for the Mii fighters, but at least this series already has a place in Nintendo's ultimate fighting game.

Ori from Ori and the Blind Forest

From Moon Studios and Xbox Games Studios came Ori and the Blind Forest and its sequel, Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Both Ori games are a great experience on the Switch, so the addition of their titular character into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate would be a worthwhile choice for Nintendo. Ori would be a very interesting "deluxe" style Mii costume for a Mii Gunner, completely transforming the fighter instead of just being a costume piece. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate including the Ori series would also open up the inclusion of its amazing music as new tracks.

Overall, these are just five examples of the numerous indie games that would be fun to add into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in some way. The development cycle for Ultimate may be winding down once the final DLC fighter gets revealed, but Nintendo could always keep the game fresh with small updates such as new Mii fighter costumes.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is available now on Nintendo Switch.
