I’m extremely late on hopping onto this bandwagon, but here are my thoughts on Ultimate’s newcomers I guess.
![Inkling :ultinkling: :ultinkling:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Completely expected, which kinda takes away from things a bit. The fact that they were announced first doesn’t help, because it means I constantly forget they exist. Moveset looks pretty cool though.

Was pretty surprising, but it’s nice to see her fans finally get her in I suppose. Not super interesting to me, but I do like her in the mario spin-offs
![Ridley :ultridley: :ultridley:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Really felt triumphant seeing him finally make it in. Moveset looks pretty interesting, and I love how vicious he’s presented as
![Simon Belmont :ultsimon: :ultsimon:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Leaks made him a bit expected, but his reveal trailer was awesome and his moveset is looking great. I love how they used the classic barbarian design too
![Richter Belmont :ultrichter: :ultrichter:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Hey, I actually knew he was when they announced him! (Come on, have some of you people never played SoTN, because you should). I’m always a sucker for more obscure characters and Richter fits the bill. Like the design they used too.
![Chrom :ultchrom: :ultchrom:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Was funny seeing him actually be playable. Not super interested myself but I’m happy for his fans
![Dark Samus :ultdarksamus: :ultdarksamus:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I love the way she animates. Really felt like a lot of care went into making her feel different, which I suppose make sum for her not being unique. Happy she’s in
![King K. Rool :ultkrool: :ultkrool:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
How did this not leak? Great reveal trailer, super popular character among the fans, interesting moveset. Definitely a highlight in this set of newcomers. I always liked him and it was nice to see the fans’ campaigning pay off in a way.
![Isabelle :ultisabelle: :ultisabelle:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I see why people like her, and she certainly has tons of credentials, but I’m not a huge fan. Reveal trailer was pretty boring although fitting. Like how she uses the AC stuff Villager doesn’t use though.
![Ken :ultken: :ultken:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I mean, who didn’t see this coming? I’m really happy they went the extra mile to make his moveset different and accurate, and I’ve always been a fan of him
![Incineroar :ultincineroar: :ultincineroar:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Not a big fan of the design, but moveset looks interesting and I’m glad we finally have a grappling character
![Piranha Plant :ultpiranha: :ultpiranha:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Now this was a surprise. I laughed when he was revealed. His moveset looks pretty interesting and I like him, but I agree with others that the timing stung a bit, and I can certainly see why people don’t like him
