Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: Metroid Contents for DLC?

When it comes to playable fighters, Metroid really hit the jackpot in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with the additions of both Ridley and Dark Samus. And at this point it would certainly be presumptuous to expect anything new for the franchise in the five DLC outings, especially since they've covered all important characters by now.

However, Metroid really could use a new stage and if the rumors are true that Metroid Prime 4 is currently developed at Bandai Namco, the Smash team probably would have first hand insights into the project. And if Metroid Prime 4 will be released next year, a DLC pack in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate could be a good promotion.

Such a DLC pack would have the following guy as its fighter:


Sylux. We know little about him or her so far, but this will certainly change with the upcoming game. And his siphoning energy beams could create some potential for a new moveset. A stage would probably from the new game as well, where we currently can't predict anything.

Of course all of this is very unlikely. If Metroid Prime 4 was current, Sylux would probably end up as an Assist Trophy and they would completely ignore the game for a stage. And with the DLC they will probably focus on games and franchises that haven't had any (new) contents in the base game.
