Nintendo has confirmed the two final fighters ofSuper Smash Bros.Ultimate, an announcement that squashes recent rumors of a possible five character addition.

Ken of the Street Fighter games and Icineroar of Pokémon will "fight fire with fire" in the new release.

These selections aren't particularly surprising—they were expected before the whole Grinch debacle—but they are a welcome finale to the 74 fighter lineup.

Nintendo posted the following details about the characters to Twitter during the announcement livestream.
