>New Fighters Piranha Plant pipes up from the Super Mario series! This tricky fighter can extend itself, spit spiked balls, and can even fly by spinning like a propeller. Its Final Smash summons Petey Piranha, returning from his appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)!

Piranha Plant launches for early purchasers on February 15, and will be available for purchase on March 1.

SUPER SMASH BROS. x PERSONA 5 Joker steals the show from the critically acclaimed Persona 5. With a host of Personas in his possession, including the Master Thief Arsene and series-icon Jack Frost, he'll seize victory before you ever see it coming.

SUPER SMASH BROS. x DRAGON QUEST III Erdrick, the warrior of salvation, arrives on the scene from the Dragon Quest series. As the legendary hero himself, he fights with both sword and sorcery, using fire and thunder to gain the upper hand.

All three fighters will cost $5.99 each, and Joker and Erdrick can be purchased with the Fighter’s Pass (available now for $24.99). Joker and Erdrick will release on March 1 for Fighter’s Pass owners, and on March 15 for individual purchase.

LaxChris' Thoughts
His first point was that Version 2.0.0 has already been announced, so the press release being leaked isn't entirely impossible. Furthermore, big updates, as he points out, usually do have press releases talking about the update. He considered the February 15th release day of Piranha Plant to be obvious and he doesn't discount the leak for it. He does find it a little weird that both Joker and the newly announced Erdrick are scheduled for release on March 1st. Erdrick hadn't been announced yet by the time the video was made, so seeing him announced hurts the leak a little bit. He does not the codenamed "Brave" character found in the game's data alongside Joker and Piranha Plant. He notes that he didn't like the Yoshi's Woolly World stage in the previous Super Smash Bros. title. He doesn't mind if it doesn't come back at all. He also noted that he liked a lot of the Mii costumes and saw good reasons for all of them. He labeled himself as "skeptical" of the leak.
