After further testing, Raid Hour was renamed…

Welcome back to Echo Location, where we shout our picks for Echo Fighters into the wide open gorge of the internet in the hopes that Masahiro Sakurai hears the reverbs on the other side. (If you don’t get that metaphor, don’t worry — I don’t either.) Last time we kicked…
After last week’s Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct announced Richter Belmont as an Echo Fighter, it seems like there are no limitations as to who could be included in the game.
