Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Modder Adds Crono from Chrono Trigger

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's cast contains not only characters from Nintendo's diverse catalog, but also plenty of legendary and iconic faces across the gaming industry. Not many games have a roster quite as big or represent as many recognizable franchises under its banner as this game. This includes third-party companies like Sega, Capcom, and Square Enix. The last one, in particular, has added plenty of characters from various JRPGs the company has developed, including Final Fantasy 7's Cloud and Sephiroth, with the last DLC Character for the game being Sora from Kingdom Hearts.

However, there were a number of characters from Square Enix's catalog that were highly requested to be added to the game, many of them not making the cut. A lot of vocal support was behind adding a character from the iconic SNES JRPG Chrono Trigger, mainly due to its influence and its mind-bending time travel plot. While Chrono Trigger ultimately wouldn't end up being represented in any shape or form in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, a few modders worked together to include the game's main protagonist Crono as a playable character.

The mod has eight costume slots that all fit over Hero,
