Nintendo France bars Dragon Quest Hero from official Smash Ultimate tournaments

Dragon Quest Hero Banned from Official Smash Ultimate Tournaments in France

Nintendo France has officially banned Dragon Quest Hero, a character from the popular game Dragon Quest, from appearing in official Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tournaments in the country.

This decision comes after concerns were raised regarding the character’s unfair advantage due to its random menu mechanics, which some players argue make it difficult to counter and predict their next move. As a result, the character has been deemed too unpredictable and potentially disruptive to competitive play.

Nintendo France made this ruling in order to maintain a fair and balanced competitive environment for all players involved in the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tournament scene. By removing Dragon Quest Hero from the pool of playable characters, they hope to level the playing field and ensure a more consistent and skill-based competition.

While this ban only applies to official tournaments in France, it is still a significant move that may influence other regions to reconsider the character’s eligibility in their own tournaments.

Nintendo has yet to release an official statement on the matter, but with the ban being implemented by Nintendo France, it suggests that there may be ongoing discussions within the company regarding the character’s place in competitive play.

Fans and players will have to wait and see if this ban extends to other regions or if there will be any updates or adjustments made to Dragon Quest Hero’s abilities in future game updates.
