Smash Bros. Ultimate’s final update brings Isabelle and Doomguy together

Last major update Super Smash Bros. UltimateThe addition of Sora, Kingdom Hearts’ new playable fighter, brings the total number of available players to 82. Ultimate’s new update also makes one fantasy reality: Isabelle from Animal Crossing can now hang out (and presumably fight, but I like to think she wouldn’t) the Doom Slayer from Doom

Isabelle and Doomguy’s in-game meeting brings together the pair that fans of Animal Crossing and Doom have been platonically shipping for roughly the past 20 months. Each series’ fans discovered that each other was the best. Animal Crossing New Horizons Doom EternalThey were scheduled to be released on March 20, 2020. Over the years, many fans created fan art tributes for their close friendships. Now, they’re finally meeting up in Smash.

Doom Slayer is a valid option. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is limited to a Mii Fighter (Gunner) costume, but that’s not impacting fans celebrating the final payoff in any way.

Bethesda Softworks, the Doom publisher is even getting involved.

Congratulations, two of you!
