Ryu's Rival Ken and flaming wrestler Pokemon Incineroar will be joining Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's roster.
The two were revealed as a part of the final Smash Ultimate Direct. Street Fighter's Ken takes the form of an Echo fighter for Ryu, with a similar moveset but adjustments to the visuals and timing of attacks like his hadouken and shoryuken.

Pokemon's Incineroar on the other hand is an entirely new fighter, bringin a range of wreslting-themed moves including an attack that bounces his opponent off the ropes and performs a different move depending on your timing for the attack.

The two mark the final additions (or so we though! Hello Petey Piranha - ed) to Ultimate's roster, bringing the total number of characters up to a staggering 74, though the game will only start with a small selection unlocked - the same as the original N64 game in fact.
