This is the type of Spirit I want on my team

Rabbid Peach is set to aid fighters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Good grief, after last week's Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct you wonder how there's anything left to talk about, but Ubisoft's still got a trick or two up its sleeve. By that, I just mean they're throwing Rabbid Peach into the mix as a sassy Spirit.

I might be jumping ahead of myself by assuming Rabbid Peach is going to be sassy, but if she's anything like Mario x Rabbids Kingdom Battle's version I'll be happy. Though, sassy or not, coming in as a Spirit you know she'll definitely be useful.

If you missed the presentation, Spirits are video game characters who lost their forms in a great battle. These guys can be partnered up with your chosen fighter to give you a little something extra in battle. This might be additional strength or speed and they work by being equipped, like accessories or pets in most RPGs.

Spirits can also be combined, fought for, and levelled up in the game by taking part in regular or Spirit Battles. There's a huge roster of spirits available, giving you thousands of combinations by the time you've unlocked/earned them all.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate launches on Nintendo Switch, December 7th, and we're counting down the days.
