This will be an online live stream, much like a Nintendo Direct.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re reading this from another time zone, here\u2019s a breakdown of when the Smash Bros reveal event will kick off around the world:<\/p>\n<ul><li>USA: 7 am PT \/ 10 am ET on 5th October<\/li>\n<li>UK: 3 pm BST on 5th October<\/li>\n<li>Central Europe: 4 pm CEST on 5th October<\/li>\n<li>Russia: 5 pm MSK on 5th October<\/li>\n<li>Japan: 11 pm JST on 5th October<\/li>\n<li>Australia: Midnight AEST going into 6th October<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2><strong>How to watch the Smash Bros Ultimate Nintendo Direct live stream<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Smash Bros Ultimate event will be hosted on the official Nintendo YouTube account, and you can watch it right here \u2013 we\u2019ve embedded the video below for your perusal. Just click into the player when the time comes:<\/p>\n\n<p>This live stream has been dubbed \u2018The Final Mr. Sakurai Presents\u2019, a title which of course refers to game designer Masahiro Sakurai, the director of Super Smash Bros Ultimate who normally hosts these sorts of events.<\/p>\n<p>The event description invites players to tune in for \u201cthe reveal presentation of the final #SmashBrosUltimate DLC fighter with Director Masahiro Sakurai. The fighter\u2019s release date and final Mii Fighter costumes will also be revealed! The presentation will be roughly 40 minutes long, and it will be the final presentation about Super Smash Bros Ultimate.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>When is the release date for the final Super Smash Bros Ultimate character?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The release date for the final DLC character in Super Smash Bros Ultimate will be revealed during the aforementioned live-stream event, and we\u2019ll be sure to update this page once it\u2019s confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019ll be interesting to see if Nintendo releases the character immediately or makes us wait a few days. We\u2019d predict the latter based on the recent form \u2013 Tekken\u2019s Kazuya, for example, was revealed a few days before he arrived in the game, which gave Nintendo some extra time in which to build up hype.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Rumours and leaks: Who is the final DLC character in Super Smash Bros Ultimate?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Look away now if you don\u2019t want to see some potential spoilers for the Smash Bros Nintendo Direct!
