"We were once just X's Super Smash Bros.. Those days are long gone."
Super Smash Bros. Swansong is a large-scale crossover fighting game consisting of various IPs owned by Nintendo and other third-party developers, such as Bandai Namco, who had a hand in developing the game. Rather than being directed by Masahiro Sakurai, the role of director was given to DoodleFox, who wanted to keep Sakurai's attention to detail and creativity while also adding in himself. Super Smash Bros. Swansong was began early development during the final stages of production on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, with the game taking a lot of gameplay and assets and either retooling them or keeping them the same as before. The game also marks the return of a proper story mode, the concept returning from Super Smash Bros. Brawl and the aforementioned Ultimate.
The game was released on November 19th, 2021 on the Nintendo Switch, featuring 4th party content and representation from fellow fanon Smash game, Super Smash Bros. Discord.
Gameplay[]
Super Smash Bros. Swansong uses elements from every past Smash Bros. game, ranging from the original on the Nintendo 64 all the way up to the jam-packed Ultimate on the Nintendo Switch. The game keeps the same gameplay style of the past entries: a 2.5D fighting game that mixes elements of competitive gaming and party games to make one extravagant package. You're able to duke it out in a multitude of ways: items or no items, chaotic stages or flat stages, live players or computer players, local matches or online matches, and so much more. Super Smash Bros. Swansong keeps Sakurai's ever-present philosophy of Kirbyism; a term used to describe games that are accessible to people who have never played before and people who have been playing video games their whole life. Essentially, the game is easy to learn, but extremely rewarding if you go the extra mile and develop your skills as a player.
Super Smash Bros. Swansong offers a wide variety of modes and play style options, enhancing the overall experience for the player while also providing multiple different ways to play.
Multiplayer Modes[]
- Versus, You simply can't have Smash without Versus Mode. Up to eight different players are able to duke it out on any stage that they want to. The opponents can either be controlled by real-life players or computers, with the latter having adjustable levels of fighting styles and difficulties. Stages all have unique Omega forms, making them flat like Final Destination, have additional platforms like Battlefield, or be much larger like Big Battlefield.
- Special Smash: If you wanted even more zaniness than you get with items on, then Special Smash is for you. You're able to set different options on or off, all of them affecting how fighters duke it out in matches. If you truly want to adjust your character's weight while also giving them the effects of the Bunny Hood, Spicy Curry, and Metal Box, then the possibility is open to you.
- Spirit Matches: Spirit Matches are the replacement for Event Matches, having 100 different events with the reward for each being a new Spirit. Each Spirit is exclusive to that event, meaning there's no way to obtain on the Spirit Board unless you unlock the one from the event.
- Squad Strike: Players choose from three to five different fighters to choose between during a match, each one of them acting as a single stock. Once one fighter is K.O.'d, the next fighter in line will come and take it's place. Whoever has at least one fighter standing by the end of the match wins.
- Smashdown: This mode uses all available fighters on the roster to duke it out. Once a match is done, the selected fighters are eliminated and cannot be chosen again until the game is complete. Whoever defeats the other player first wins the match, resetting each character back to their playable status.
An entirely new mode has been introduced into the game in the form of Smash Zone.
Smash Zone has a unique concept: whenever you attack an opponent, no damage is taken by them and vice versa. The way a fighter loses the match is by the ever-approaching "Smash Zone" a cloud of purple and orange smog that chips away at the stamina of the fighters. While damage from physical attacks don't exist in this mode, knockback does; and it's crucial to winning. You must knock your opponent into the fog and stay out of it. As stated, the fog comes closer and closer to the stage, forcing both opponents to get creative and ask two questions: "how do I avoid dying?" and "how do I want to defeat the other fighter?".
Yet another new mode has been introduced for two or more players to play together, that being Spirit Hunters.
Spirit Hunters is essentially a reboot of the Smash Run mode from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, albeit with substantial improvements to the core structure. Spirit Hunters sees you and up to three CPU or player-controlled fighters dropped into a large maze-like map under a five minute time limit. During that time limit, you're able to boost your stats by defeating the various enemies found within the maze while also beating up the other fighters that you can encounter in the maze. Exploring the map reveals treasure chests that hold a Spirit within them.
After the time limit is up, the four fighters duke it out in a free-for-all battle where, before the match begins, you bet on one of the Spirits you've found. If you win the fight, you keep all Spirits and even get a few extra rewards. If you lose, however, you keep all of the Spirits and rewards except for the one you bet on for the match, gaining no extra rewards along with the loss. Again, the mode is able to be played with up to three other players, the maze being expanded and modified from it's 3DS incarnation.
Single Player[]
- Classic Mode: A 12-match series of challenges and fights between NPCs, target-smashing escapades, and a final fight between you and Master Hand. Classic Mode, like Ultimate's, returns to the standard form seen in the first three entries and keeps the addition of set challenges for each playable fighter from Ultimate as well.
- All-Star Mode: Unlocked after unlocking every fighter, All-Star Mode has you fighting every single character in the roster in order of their first appearance outside of Smash Bros., complete with a health-regaining area with four Heart Containers. The difficulty is able to be scaled to one's liking before starting the gauntlet.
- Training: A mode that allows anyone to train against a static NPC fighter. The graph-like background from Ultimate returns, allowing for players to see the trajectory and angle of the outcome of their attacks along with accurate measurements and gridmarks on the stage.
- Boss Tourney: Every single boss from The Challenger Approaches is able to be fought here once the mode is beaten for the first time. This also includes other bosses such as Master and Crazy Hand. You can fully customize the amount of bosses and the kinds you'd like in one sitting, allowing for as little as three bosses to be fought in a run.
- Minigames: Minigames like Home Run, Break the Targets, Multi-Man Melee, and Board the Platforms have returned once again, giving the players endless hours of replayability. All of these can be played in multiplayer equivalents, allowing for double the fun.
- Spirit Board: The Spirit Board from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate returns here, acting as one of the two main ways to earning Spirits. Unlike it's previous incarnation, the sections after a battle where you must shoot the Spirit to win is completely removed, meaning that once you beat the Spirit, the Spirit is yours for good until you decide to dismiss it or take it's core.
In addition to all of the modes listed above, another single player mode is introduced in this game, that being Tower of Smash.
Tower of Smash sees players go through a gauntlet of 100 different challenges, pummeling your way through different fighters and bosses. The bosses are carried over from The Challenger Approaches, Classic Mode, and even have a few original bosses sprinkled in there. The goal is to make it to the 100th floor and take on the challenge at the top, gaining rewards and exclusive perks for doing so. Like other single player modes, it can be played with up to two players at once. The difficulty, like 3DS & Wii U's Classic Mode, can be scaled to a player's liking in terms of how difficult the gauntlet is overall, but still gets more challenging the higher you go no matter the difficulty.
In addition to all new and returning modes, one other mode returns with a good amount of enhancements.
Stage Builder Deluxe, as the name implies, is a massively expanded version of Ultimate's Stage Builder mode. It's seen a massive overhaul since the last game, including more of everything present in past versions. Players are still able to create their own stages using assets from the game in different sizes; in addition to the previously included Small, Medium, and Large settings are two new settings, those being Extra Small and Extra Large. Every single music track is still selectable, but now allows for up to three tracks to be played one after the other before looping back to the start. The small pool of assets have been greatly expanded, going from simple platforms and springs to hazards and items found on other playable stages.
The way stages are made is functionally similar to Super Mario Maker while also utilizing the unique controls of the Nintendo Switch. In docked mode, the Joy-Con's IR pointer is used in a similar way to a Wii Remote to select items and assets. This isn't the only way to play docked, however, as you're completely able to use the control sticks and buttons on the Joy-Cons and even the Pro Controller to perform the same actions. Stages can be made by selecting an asset and dragging it along the screen within the limits of the blast zones and the size a player has chosen.
As mentioned earlier, multiple assets from actual stages can be used when making a custom stage. These can range from simple falling platforms, hazards like the food-dropping Shy Guys, or even one boss enemy per stage, such as the Dark Lord, Metal Face, and Yellow Devil. There's an upper limit to how many hazards you can have in one stage; for example, if you have a boss enemy, the choices for other hazards are cut down significantly as to not make the battles lag.
Assets extended beyond just hazards, however. "Skins" from each series can be used to decorate the stages you make, including both original and reference-based skins. These change the background and main platform you fight on, along with certain elements you build your stages with. For example, a Mario theme switches the main platform to look like brick blocks and the background like World 1-1 from Super Mario Bros.. Every single past skin for a custom stage returns from Brawl, Wii U, and Ultimate to go alongside them.
You're able to share your custom stages online seamlessly. However, like Mario Maker, verification is required to prove that a fight can reasonably occur on each stage before being uploaded.
Mii Fighters[]
Mii Fighters have been completely revamped from their previous incarnations. One of the biggest changes is the removal of Mii types, allowing for Miis to use multiple specials based on the previous types. For example, your Mii Fighter can have the neutral special of the Brawler, the side special of the Athlete, the up special of the Gunner, and the down special of the Swordfighter all in one moveset. This allows for more customization of the moveset overall and gives players to give their Miis a full set of specials that goes with their preferred play style.
In addition to the previous sets of the Mii Brawler, Swordfighter, and Gunner, a new set of moves has been introduced: the Mii Athlete, who uses fitness and sports-based specials that cover distance easily at the cost of leaving themselves open to other attacks.
Like past games, a Mii's height, weight, speed, and features are all dependant on how a Mii is created in the Switch's Mii Maker application. However, Super Smash Bros. Swansong gives players the ability to create Miis within the game itself rather than having to switch to a separate menu on the home screen. The Mii Maker within the game carries all of the features available in the regular one, including all face, hair, eye, mouth, weight, height, and other features.
Mii costumes make a return with a rather sizable change; they're universal. This means that every Mii you make, no matter the moveset, is able to wear any costume. Some costumes return from 3DS, Wii U and Ultimate, but a good chunk of them are original to the game, spanning various titles and even third party series with no playable representation, such as Kingdom Hearts. In addition, Miis are also able to choose specific types of weapons for their individual attacks, providing cosmetic differences to their weapons.
Miscellaneous Information[]
Stage Morph from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate returns, allowing stages to switch between each other mid-battle. Up to two stages can be selected for this option, staying at the total available in the past game. Stage Morph has been heavily refined and fine-tuned in order to accomodate for the sheer variety of stages and certain ones like Jungle Hijinx and Rhythm Route for their multiple backgrounds, If a fighter is in the back part of those stages, they're immediately transported to the front portion during the transformation phase as to not get unfairly K.O.'ed. This system has also helped for adding in more scrolling stages like Poké Floats and stages with more unpredictable layouts such as Dr. Mario to the list of playable stages.
This comes back alongside Final Smash Meters, allowing for weaker yet still powerful Final Smashes to be executed without the use of a Smash Ball. Features also present in Ultimate such as direction air-dodging and ladder attacks also return alongside an improved and official wavedashing mechanic, allowing for even faster competitive play.
Online play has been drastically improved from the past games that offered it, with Doodle aiming to fix what problems the community had with the online itself. Dependent on the Nintendo Switch Online Service, online play allows most of the modes to be played online with both friends and random people all over the world. Tournaments return from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, albeit with an approach more akin to Mario Tennis Aces. Participating in Nintendo-made online tournaments also results in players gaining extra content, such as stages, costumes, music, and more.
Roster[]
Continuing the idea set up by Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, every single veteran from the past six games returns. Multiple newcomers join the fray, ranging from Nintendo's distant past, their current present, and even some new third party characters.
As of right now, the base roster contains 159 different characters out of 160 if you count Pokémon Trainer's three fighters as individuals.
Characters[]
|
 
Name: Dragon Queen Debut: Super Smash Bros. Discord (20XX) Current wielder of the Dragon Queen title, the Dragon Queen hails from another Smash universe beyond Swansong's, one where she’s taken Mario’s place as the balanced fighter. The Dragon Queen’s moveset borrows heavily for her custom movepool back from her homeworld, showcasing its wide array of options while putting new spins on each move presented. |
Neutral Special: Burning Knuckle. The Dragon Queen shoots a comically small fireball out of her mouth and at her hand, setting it aflame. The flame, if not used for too long, fizzles out eventually. Delivering a punch straight to a foe’s chest with the fire multiplies the damage by two times, but without it leaves it at a modest 7%. Side Special: Dragon Glacier. The Dragon Queen blows a puff of cold air, creating a small glacier that slides along the floor. If an opponent is hit at the beginning of the move, they take much more damage, while they take less damage as the glacier melts. If they’re at over 100% in damage, the glacier temporarily freezes them. Up Special: Tail Tornado. The Dragon Queen lunges forwards and shoots a small tornado out via rapid tail movements. The tornado is only on screen for two seconds, but any opponent caught in it takes 1% of damage each time the attack hits them. If they’re stuck in the tornado for the entire time, they’re shot upwards, but not high enough to instantly K.O. them unleash they’re at high percentages. Down Special: Dragon’s Fence. The Dragon Queen stomps her foot and creates a large green crystal a few inches away from her, acting as a sort of barrier than can reflect projectiles. The barrier can be broken after three projectiles hit it or after enough physical damage has been done it to it by hand. Final Smash: Loyalty to the Scales. The Dragon Queen calls upon four dragons from a large wheel behind her, unleashing two large pillars of flames on her left and right sides. The pillars not only directly attack opponents above them, but also shoot out fireballs that target other fighters on the stage. The pillars eventually die down, the four dragons disappearing in a flash of light. | |

Name: Mario Debut: Super Mario Bros. (1985) Mario is back and better than ever! A blue collar guy to the core, Mario is a versatile balanced character that serves as both a powerful tool and a guide for newcomers to the series. Aspects of his moveset have been modified and changed to reflect more of his appearances, such as his side special, down special, and even his Final Smash. While still familar to new players. Mario has plenty of new tricks up his sleeves to surprise older fans. |
Neutral Special: Fireball. Mario launches a single fireball at an enemy, traveling across the stage. The fireball spins around in the air for a few frames before disappearing and does minimal damage by itself, but does well in slightly stunning foes and leaving them open to Mario's future attacks. Side Special: Hat's Off To You. Mario throws Cappy at an enemy, knocking them back a bit. Cappy himself is a decent projectile, but can be jumped on if the B button is held down. This gives Mario an extra vertical boost and can be used in the air to trick foes before getting back up to the stage. Up Special: Super Jump Punch. Mario does his iconic jump, complete with coins and Cappy's eyes appearing. If you hit an opponent upon starting up the move, Mario's fist does multiple hits and pushes both him and the foe higher. The coins change from gold, purple, and red randomly, but only for aesthetic purposes. Down Special: F.L.U.D.D.. Mario pulls out his trusty F.L.U.D.D. and now has a multitude of attack options. If Mario uses his neutral special, he shoots out of a burst of water that can go on until the water runs out, leaving Mario stationary. The side special is now the Turbo Nozzle, ramming into foes at the cost of worse handling until the button is let go of. The up special becomes the Rocket Nozzle, shooting Mario vertically upwards before having him dive straight down into the ground. Using the down special again allows Mario to unequip F.L.U.D.D.. Final Smash: Super Mario Maker. Mario slips on his builders uniform and begins to add in multiple hazards onto the stage, trapping opponents in a box of hard blocks as Bob-Ombs, Thwomps, Hammer Bros., and Bullet Bills assault their target. As a final send-off, a Banzai Bill appears from the background and rams into all foes caught in the box, dealing massive damage. | |
| |
|
Name: Luigi Debut: Super Mario Bros. (1985) The cowardly and endearing Luigi makes his way back to the world of Super Smash Bros., complete with new additions to his moveset. Compared to previous outings, Luigi now functions like a completely different beast overall, using moves exclusive to him and only him. Luigi still keeps his side and down special, but has entirely new moves that make references to past games he's been in. |
Neutral Special: Thunderhand. Luigi charges up a ball of electricity between his hands, the ball getting bigger the longer B is held. Luigi can then store it for later and get close to an opponent, stunning them once he unleashes the attack. The attack itself doesn't stun enemies unlike other electric attacks, focusing on hitting them with more and more force depending on the projectile's size. Side Special: Green Missile. Luigi charges up and launches himself in the direction he's facing like a rocket. This move can be handy in off-stage situations, propelling you closer to the stage but leaving you stuck in walls or the sides of the stage if pulled off correctly. Up Special: Balloon Ride. Luigi slips on his balloon pack from Luigi's Balloon World, floating upwards as the balloon's deflate one by one. Like Villager's up B, the balloons can be destroyed, but take Luigi higher automatically. Unlike Villager, however, Luigi is able to drop the backpack onto the ground and use it like a regular item, doing more damage depending on the amount of balloons left in it. Down Special: Luigi Cyclone. Luigi spins around, whirling into a tornado-like form before shoving his arms out and hitting any foe in his path. If he hits an opponent, they spin around with him before the arms launch them outwards and away from Luigi, the green plumber sighing as the attack ends. Final Smash: Poltergust G00. Luigi sucks in one or more opponents into his new Poltergust G00. Upon catching a figher in the gust, Luigi slams them upon the ground like he does in Luigi's Mansion 3, going back and forth before sucking them into the Poltergust. The vacuum rattles around and expands as the fighter tumbles around inside before Luigi shoots them out and deals plenty of damage. | |
| |
|
Name: Princess Peach Debut: Super Mario Bros. (1985) The princess of the Mushroom Kingdom returns for yet another outing with her trusted friends...and foes. Peach has been somewhat retooled from her past appearances, ranging from cosmetic differences to full-on new attacks, plenty of them coming from Super Princess Peach, including the addition of a brand new Final Smash. She still functions as the floaty and graceful fighter we all know her as, however. |
Neutral Special: Toad Protector. A Toad pops out of nowhere, jabbing and punching outwardsto protect Peach from any attack for a short while before disappearing. A few frames are left open where an opponent can run in and grab Toad, using him as a one-use projectile while not doing damage to Peach if he's taken. Side Special: Perry Strike. Peach grabs Perry from Super Princess Peach and holds him by the handle. When closed, Peach can strike, swing, and stab with Perry, while when open, Peach can ram into a foe with the living umbrella, twirling it around in her hands at the cost of range. Peach can put Perry back whenever she wants, but the closed and open playstyles allow for multiple ways to use the move. Up Special: Perry-sol Power. Peach once again pulls out Perry from thin air and juts it upwards, slowly floating back down onto the stage with ease. This move functions the same as her previous up special, only carryin aesthetic changes with it. Down Special: Turnip Toss. Peach plucks a turnip out of the ground and chucks it at an enemy like a projectile. The turnip can sometimes be a helpful item, nothing, or even a Bob-Omb, but usually leans more towards the chances of plucking a turnip. Final Smash: Vibe Specter. Peach pulls out the Vibe Scepter, which gives her one of four powers depending on her damage total when the Final Smash is used. 0-30% brings in Joy, allowing Peach to fly around freely and spin foes around like a tornado. 31-60% brings about Gloom, causing Peach to cry waterfalls that drag opponents away from the stage and do chip damage. 61-90% causes Anger, which causes Peach to erupt into flames and set a large around her ablaze. 91-999% uses Joy, bringing Peach's damage total down to 30%. | |
| |
|
Name: Bowser Debut: Super Mario Bros. (1985) There is no Koopa more feared, sinister, and joked about than Bowser, the king of them all. Bowser is a heavy and brutal fighter with a focus on fire breath, scratches, and attacks with his spiky shell. Like other veterans, the Koopa King comes with new tricks for him to use and now resembles his regular canon appearance much more. He may be a big target, but Bowser is no slouch when it comes to combat. |
Neutral Special: Fire Breath. Bowser breathes out a stream of fire that gets shorter and weaker the longer it's active. The stream is now able to be angled when the B button is held down and the control stick is moved up, although Bowser is still stationary throughout the attack. Side Special: Flying Slam. Bowser grabs an opponent and jumps in the air, slamming them onto the ground. This move is identical to past versions in past games and, unlike other attacks, doesn't gain any form of super armor when used. Up Special: Whirling Fortress. Bowser gets in his shell and whirls around, gaining air before falling back down. The shell does multiple hits like it always has, but now has more super armor on the top of the shell whereas the bottom has no armor, making quick reactions necessary if you're right under the Koopa King. Down Special: Bowser Bomb. Bowser jumps up and does a ground pound, crushing whoever was under him. Unlike past games, this move has an increased amount of super armor, making Bowser almost unstoppable in the air but disappearing once he lands and leaving him open. Final Smash: Giga Bowser. Bowser transforms into his monstorous Smash-exclusive form known as Giga Bowser and leaps in the background, ready to deliver a finishing blow to anyone he sees fit. An aiming reticle appears on the screen and can be aimed anywhere within a five second time limit. Upon the B button being pressed or the timer running out, Giga Bowser delivers a fist full of fury onto the stage, K.O.ing anyone he hits. | |
| |
|
Name: Wart Debut: Super Mario Bros. 2 (1988) The evil ruler of Subcon has finally shown his face in the world of gaming after years of absence! Wart is a psuedo-echo of Bowser, using bubbles instead of fire while bringing his own sinister flair to the fray. His up special is similar to King Dedede's, acting as a competitor to the other evil kings on the roster. Wart's clearly been training for years in his absence and isn't afraid to declare himself the only real king in Smash. |
Neutral Special: Bubble Breath. Wart breathes out a stream of bubbles that get less effective the longer it's active. Unlike Bowser's attack, Wart's version cannot be angled, only shooting straight ahead while giving Wart the advantage of jumping while using the attack. Side Special: Subcon Slam. Wart grabs an opponent and jumps in the air, slamming them onto the ground. Unlike Bowser's version, Wart lands on his back rather than his stomach. While this change may seem small, this opens up the opportunity for Wart to follow the move up with smaller hits and strikes due to the missing amount of frames. Up Special: Super Wart Hop. Wart performs Dedede's up special, jumping upwards and slamming down on the stage. Unlike Dedede's up special where Wart got the move, Subcon's ruler can perform a second bounce with an extra button input if he lands on the stage or platform, although the vertical distance isn't too great. Down Special: Wart Bomb. Wart jumps up and does a ground pound, crushing whoever was under him. Unlike Bowser, Wart lacks the super armor while gaining faster ascension and descension speeds along with more damage done to those close to where he lands. Final Smash: Subcon Strike. Wart calls upon some of his allies, including Mouser, Clawgrip, and Tryclyde to rain havoc upon foes, all of them attacking them in various harmful ways. Everyone except for Wart attacks first, trapping their targets in a large dust cloud before they all scatter away, only for their king to fall from the sky and crush them under his weight, ending the attack. | |

Name: Dr. Mario Debut: Dr. Mario (1990) Mario's medicine-practicing alter ego, Dr. Mario, has brought with him a new set of attacks. He's been completely de-cloned and now stands as a separate fighter with little-to-no moves borrowed from Mario himself. He can switch the direction of his pills to either horizontal or vertical, both providing unique attributes with each attack. |
Neutral Special: Miracle Attack. Dr. Mario chucks a bottle of Megavitamins along the ground, the bottle bouncing along up to three times. There's always a chance the bottle could shatter, sending damaging pills flying in all directions. Side Special: Virus Buster. Dr. Mario charges up an attack before unleashing a sort of punch-shove hybrid, knocking opponents down and leaving them open to attacks. The good doctor's fist has the image of a Megavitamin in it whenever the attack is unleashed. Up Special: Doctor's Orders. Dr. Mario performs a move similar to the Super Jump, launching upwards and putting his fist out. The fist hits a giant Megavitamin, sending it flying up to the stage. The Megavitamin does more damage than Dr. Mario himself, but hitting it provides Dr. Mario with better vertical distance. Down Special: Pill Swap. Dr. Mario swaps out the direction of his pills before launching a single one in a straight line. Horizontal pills are slower but deal more damage while vertical pills have the opposite effect. These new effects change the way a player uses Dr. Mario, giving him two unique playstyles in a way. Final Smash: Flu Season. Dr. Mario sends any opponents caught within range to a large medical table, staring up at the ceiling. All of the sudden, large versions of the Viruses appear from above and crush the fighters underneath them. | |
| |
|
Name: Dr. Luigi Debut: Dr. Luigi (2013) Not even Mario's younger brother could stay away from the practice of medicine. Dr. Luigi is Dr. Mario's Echo Fighter, utilizing his pill-swapping mechanic while bringing some new things to the table. His most notable change is that his pills are L-shaped, making their individual effects even more prominent. The Viruses in his Final Smash come from Dr. Luigi rather than Dr. Mario. |
Neutral Special: Miracle Attack. Dr. Luigi chucks a bottle of Megavitamins along the ground, the bottle bouncing along up to three times. There's always a chance the bottle could shatter, sending damaging pills flying in all directions. Side Special: Virus Buster. Dr. Luigi charges up an attack before unleashing a sort of punch-shove hybrid, knocking opponents down and leaving them open to attacks. The good doctor's fist has the image of a Megavitamin in it whenever the attack is unleashed. Up Special: Doctor's Orders. Dr. Luigi performs a move similar to the Super Jump, launching upwards and putting his fist out. The fist hits a giant L-shaped Megavitamin, sending it flying up to the stage. The Megavitamin does more damage than Dr. Luigi himself, but hitting it provides Dr. Luigi with better vertical distance. Down Special: Pill Swap. Dr. Luigi swaps out the direction of his pills before launching a single one in a straight line. Unlike Dr. Mario, Dr. Luigi's pills are L-shaped, which enhances the power of each when flipped. Even when the orientation is the same as his brother, the new shape allows for even more tricks to catch your foes off-guard. Final Smash: Flu Season. Dr. Luigi sends any opponents caught within range to a large medical table, staring up at the ceiling. All of the sudden, large versions of his Viruses appear from above and crush the fighters underneath them. | |

|
Name: Rosalina & Luma Debut: Super Mario Galaxy (2007) The cosmic duo has returned for yet another brawl. Rosaline & Luma work together, with Rosalina being able to shoot off the Luma. Said Luma can also attack others, but is extremely easy to launch off stage, although it does regenerate shortly after it's previous demise. Coming with slight alterations and new tricks, Rosalina is floaty, fun, and frightenly powerful when placed in the right hands. |
Neutral Special: Luma Shot. Rosalina charges the Luma and fires it off at an opponent, hitting them. The Luma, as a projectile, gets stronger the longer the B button is held, but is still easy to defeat even when it's fully charged. The next Luma spawns ten seconds after the last one, leaving Rosalina to fend for herself. Side Special: Star Bits. Rosalina fires off three differently colored Star Bits at enemies, each one of them firing off at different angles. These Star Bits are now projectiles, unlike past games, meaning they can now be absorbed by others. In exchange, the Star Bits now fire even faster and do a bit more damage than before. Up Special: Launch Star. Rosalina creates a Launch Star out of thin air and hopes in, the star launching her straight into the air like a cannon. Unlike past games, Rosalina's head is now a hitbox upon being launched, dealing damage to anyone above her before she begins to fall. Down Special: Gravitational Pull. Rosalina whirls her wand around, creating a gravitational pull that pulls in nearby objects and foes closer with sheer gravity alone. This can be useful in getting not only items sooner, but also dragging enemies towards you when they least expect it. Final Smash: End of the Universe. Rosalina traps nearby foes in a black hole, sucking them in and triggering a cutscene. In it, planets, meteors, and other space debris are sucked in as the universe explodes in on itself, dealing massive damage to the fighter as Rosalina's clear outline looms over them. Once the universe ends, the fighter is shot back to the stage, ending the attack. | |
| |
|
Name: Bowser Jr. Debut: Super Mario Sunshine (2002) The prince of the Koopa clan, Bowser Jr. plays 100% differently from his old man. He's bound to his Koopa Clown Car for all of his attacks and uses it's various traps and tricks for all of his attacks, using Mechakoopas, cannons,boxing gloves, a giant fork, and even...a real tongue? His Final Smash sees him transform into Shadow Mario and summon Mecha-Bowser in order to cause some chaos. |
Neutral Special: Clown Cannon. Bowser Jr. launches a cannonball out of the Clown Car's mouth, firing in a straight line before descending if it doesn't hit a target. Side Special: Clown Kart Dash. The Clown Car gains a set of wheels and charges forward, able to turn around for a time when it crashes into opponents. Up Special: Abandon Ship. Bowser Jr. rockets out of his Clown Car, leaving him without one until he reaches the stage where it regenerates. Down Special: Mechakoopa. The Koopa Clown Car spits out a Mechakoopa from the bottom, which walks along and detonates shortly thereafter. Final Smash: Shadow Mario Strike. Bowser Jr. transforms into Shadow Mario and jumps on Mecha-Bowser, rising from the background before shooting out a barrage of Bullet Bills and fire, all of which can brutally damage whoever they come into contact with. | |
| |
|
Name: Daisy Debut: Super Mario Land (1989) While nowhere near as iconic as her pink counterpart, the princess of Sarasaland, Daisy, has her own style, personality, and flair! Formerly an Echo fighter, she's been completely revamped in order to showcase her competitive, hard-hitting, and stylish nature. She uses elements from various Super Mario spin-offs, most notably including her sports appearances and references to Super Mario Land. |
Neutral Special: Tokotoko Protector. Instead of a Toad, a Tokotoko from Super Mario Land appears to protect Daisy, blocking all attacks and delivering a single punch at her attack. Side Special: Superball. Daisy is able to launch a Superball, which bounces around a few times before disappearing from the battlefield. It disappears immediately after it hits an opponent. Up Special: Mega Strike. Daisy jumps upwards in somewhat of an arc, punching a soccer ball in whatever direction she's facing. Her movements reference Mario Strikers Charged from the Wii era. Down Special: Petal Power. Daisy spins around, creating a small whirlwind made of daisies to appear around her as a protective shield of sorts. The attack decreases the damage taken by projectiles. Final Smash: Final Lap. Daisy hops on a motorcycle and throws opponents onto DK Mountain, placing them between an infamous shortcut and her.

Name: Piranha Plant Debut: Super Mario Bros. (1985) All of the time the Piranha Plant spent off-screen was spent on training for Smash, preparing to take on Mario for over 30 years. Piranha Plant is surprisingly agile, maneuvering around in it's flower pot extremely well while using it's large head and leaves to dish out some damage. It even turns into the sinister Naval Piranha for it's devastating Final Smash. |
Neutral Special: Ptooie. Piranha Plant blows a spiked ball into the air, keeping it propelled with it's breath. It can launch the ball left or right if the left stick is hit, clobbering anyone who touches it. Side Special: Poison Breath. Piranha Plant briefly turns into a Putrid Piranha Plant and breathes poison on any nearby foes, the poisonous cloud staying on the stage depending on how long it's been charged. If a fighter is in the cloud, they take chip damage until they escape. Up Special: Piranhacopter. Piranha Plant spins it's leaves around rapidly, being able to fly high up into the sky with good horizontal and vertical distance.

The pot itself can be hit, turning it in a different direction. Final Smash: Naval Piranha. Piranha Plant smiles as Kamek flies in and turns into the Naval Piranha, spreading vines all over the stage before various Naval Buds lash and bite at the opponents caught in the attack, finishing off with a head-slam from the main head before the plant reverts back to it's original form. | |

Name: Geno Debut: Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (1996) A warrior from the land of Star Road, Geno's true form is possessing the wooden doll he walks around in. This specific form is the one that's arrived to the battlefield. He functions like a long-ranged fighter that doubles as a glass cannon, utilizing strong projectiles to compensate for his weak defense. Some of his wooden limbs, such as his hands, becoming different shapes depending on the attack used. |
Neutral Special: Geno Power. Geno fires out a small blast of energy in a straight line across the stage, three red stars appearing above his head. In order to fill these stars, Geno must hold down the B button while not taking damage, forcing the player to take a more strategic approach to fighting. Upon these stars filling, Geno can either fire a power stage-wide laser beam or channel this same energy into his down special. Side Special: Geno Whirl. Geno spins around in a circle, damaging opponents as discs of light shoot out from underneat his cape. Like other projectiles, the discs shoot out at a certain distance before returning to their user, stunning whoever they hit. Geno is able to move away from his starting point, allowing the discs to fly out all the way to the blast zone before disappearing. Up Special: Geno Boost. Geno thrusts himself upwards, with the thrust being able to be angled in four regular and four diagonal directions. Geno, in this state, is completely helpless and can't do damage while gaining some of the best aerial height in the game. By holding down the B button, Geno is able to charge how fast he shoots, giving players a new level of strategy. Down Special: Geno Pillar. Geno's arm turns into a small cannon as the star warrior launches energy blasts downwards. The blast itself can be charged by holding down the B button not unlike his neutral special, ending up as a large pillar of energy that does massive damage if it hits a foe. When the B button is pressed, Geno fires out three smaller pillars that cover more range, while holding it down slighty releases two mid-size pillars. Final Smash: Geno Flash. Geno turns into a large wooden cannon and launches a ball of energy that explodes when it lands, trapping anyone in it's radius in a fiery blast. The blast itself extends outwards not unlike a Smart Bomb, a small "cutesy" face appearing as it grows. When opponents within the blast take damage, a series of numbers above their head will count appear ala Super Mario RPG, the foes being K.O.'d if they're over 100% before the attack. | |

Name: Chain Chomp Debut: Super Mario Bros. 3 (1988) Once a common mook in the Super Mario franchise, Chain Chomp has evolved into an all-star after years on the sidelines! Chain Chomp is a heavyweight fighter with some amazing range, able to strike opponents from afar using his chain and his own body as tools of mass destruction. He's very set-up heavy |
Neutral Special: One-Two Chomp. Chain Chomp bites two times depending on button presses, moving forward slightly with each chomp. The most basic attack a Chomp knows, this one specializes in getting large amounts knockback out of it's foes. Side Special: Silver Roller. Chain Chomp, it's coat become a shining silver, rolls along the ground, targeting any player in his path. While somewhat slow, being caught under the attack buries you and leaves you wide open. Up Special: Flame Chomp. Chain Chomp's chains become balls of fire as he thrusts himself high up into the air. As he rises, the fire is left behind as projectiles that hone in on enemies, lightly damaging them before Chomp comes back. Down Special: Stake In. Chain Chomp tethers itself to the ground and charges up an attack that causes it to rush forward with immense power, crushing opponents with it's body rather than it's maw. It takes a lot of time to charge, but it's worth it for the sheer amount of damage. Final Smash: Chomp Stampede. Chain Chomp lets out a loud bark as rumbling can be heard behind him. Chain Chomplets and even larger Chomps rampage across the stage, trampling over any and all fighters in their path. The Chomps gradually get bigger as the attack progresses, ending with a large golden Chomp rolling along the stage. | |

|
Name: O'Chunks Debut: Super Paper Mario (2007) One of Count Bleck's five main minions, O'Chunks is the strongest of the group and specializes in brute force. This translates over to Smash, where he's a juggernaut of sorts. His side special is extremely powerful when used right, ramming into opponents and only stopping at certain points. He was even given a better version of Wario's up special, fusing it with K.Rool's for a gas-tonishingly good recovery. |
Neutral Special: Square Up. O'Chunks unleashes a single punch forwards that does nothing if it doesn't collide with other foes. If it does, he's able to unleash a few more before ending with an uppercut. Side Special: Chunks Charge. O'Chunks runs across the stage and rams into any opponent in his path, stopping when he's hit or if he's at the edge of the stage. Up Special: Chunks Away. O'Chunks proceeds to fart, lifting himself high up into the air. The putrid gas can chip away foes and the attack can be angled much like K.Rool's up special. Down Special: Groundbreaker. O'Chunks lifts a large green block out of the ground and proceeds to throw it in the direction he's facing. If the block doesn't hit you, the small debris it creates upon impact will. Final Smash: Raise the Roof! O'Chunks punches a nearby opponent into the halls of Castle Bleck. When they land, the roof begins to cave in on itself and fall, crushing them and immensely damaging them. O'Chunks then lifts up the roof, finishing the attack. | |
| |
|
Name: Popple Debut: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (2003) The Shadow Thief himself, Popple has entered the fray in order to become the most legendary brawler in the land. Popple’s moveset revolves around his bag, with one item or projectile from other fighters able to be stored in it at a time. The item completely changes how all four of his specials work, an “Empty” and “Full” variation being there for each one. He’s a versatile foe, using his thievery to his advantage. |
Neutral Special (Empty): Hammer Toss. Popple throws a single metal hammer in the air, a move taken from Rookie, with the hammer doing good damage if it hit foes square on the head. If the B button is held down for longer, the arc which the hammer travels in is higher, allowing for more overall options. Neutral Special (Full): Item Toss. Popple reaches into his bag and throws the previously stored item out at a blazing fast speed, doing massive damage if it ends up hitting a foe. The throw, however, once again leaves the bag empty and even items like the one Popple gets from his side special are gone. Side Special (Empty): Thief’s Trick. Popple deliberately rams right into opponents, damaging them in the process. If the B button is pressed at the peak of the attack when Popple first rams into his target, Popple stores a rather weak healing in his bag that he can use later with his full down special. Side Special (Full): Bags Away. Popple spins around with his full bag now outstretched in front of him. If the bag hits a foe, it causes damage at the cost of the item inside of the bag, shattering due to it not being used for its intended purpose. If used repeatedly without hitting a fighter, the item eventually disappears from the bag. Up Special (Empty): Onwards! Popple, his bag completely empty, lifts it over his head. The open bag acts as a glider of sorts, pushing him up into the air before he begins to glide back to safety. Eventually, the bag must return to its normal state, causing the Shadow Thief to fall to his potential demise. Up Special (Full): Designbomb. Popple reaches into his bag and pulls out a Designbomb, throwing it under himself as it explodes. The explosion not only damages nearby foes, but propels Popple higher than he would without it. As a downside, the bag is now empty after this, the item now missing from it. Down Special (Empty): Snatch. Popple is able to grab things on the ground and stuff them into his bag. With his bag now full, Popple has four options; use the down special again to take the item out, , use the side special to hit foes with the full bag, use the up special to use a Designbomb, or press the B button to aggressively throw the item in a one-use attack. Down Special (Full): Item Reserve. Popple stops and opens his bag, pulling out the item that was inside and beginning to use it. This is directly affected by his side special, allowing him to use the healing item he had earned before. If Popple grabbed another item, he can use it until its use runs out. Final Smash: Wiggler’s Revenge. Popple hops atop an enraged Wiggler, cheering as the player is able to aim a reticle at a specific point on the stage. Once said point is chosen, the Wiggler runs from in the background, ramming into anyone or anything in its path as Popple jumps off at the last second. | |
| |
|
Name: Petey Piranha Debut: Super Mario Sunshine (2002) The morbidly large Piranha Plant himself, Petey fills the role of the now-absent Piranha Plant! Petey is a heavy fighter, utilizing tricks, traps, and set-ups in order to lure his targets into his hard-hitting attacks. He mainly focuses on doing minimal amounts of damage at a time before delivering said attacks, evident in his use of Nipper Plants and burrowing into the stage. |
Neutral Special: Toxic Goop. Petey stands still and launches out a ball of goop, landing on the floor and ending up in a puddle on the stage. The goop slows opponents down and does chip damage if they’re in it for too long, but fades away after ten seconds of activity and can’t be continuously launched until the current puddle disappears.. Side Special: Nipper Sentry. Petey spews a small Nipper Plant from his mouth, the little guy hopping around and latching onto opponents. While somewhat similar to Bowser Jr.’s Mechakoopa, the Nipper inflicts flower damage if it bites enough times, chipping away at foes even when it dies. Up Special: Flutter. Petey starts flapping his leaves, covering great horizontal distance while only covering a little vertical distance, going in a low diagonal line. While not exactly good for recovery, Petey is able to perform a ground pound mid-air if the B button is pressed before the attack ends. Down Special: Piranha Sneak. Petey burrows himself into the ground and dashes across the ground, his petals visible as he travels. At the player’s command, Petey can leap up out of the ground and attack anything directly above him. Attacks that hit the ground can damage him and force him out of the ground, however. Final Smash: Cage Crush. Petey rushes at opponents, only able to hit two before the scene cuts to him flying above the stadium from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, holding cages with his foes inside. Petey drops of the ground, smashing the cages into pieces and dealing devastating damage before the battle continues. | |

Name: Donkey Kong Debut: Donkey Kong (1985) King of Swing? Leader of the bunch? Whatever you call him, you know him well, and he's finally back to kick some tail!

|
Name: Diddy Kong Debut: Donkey Kong Country (1994) More style than Lanky Kong! More grace than Tiny Kong! And he STILL has a funny face!

|
Name: King K.Rool Debut: Donkey Kong Country (1994) The egotistical, wacky, and borderline insane roleplaying leader of the Kremlings has return to the fray once more. King K.Rool uses a variety of tools and fighting styles, such as his blunderbuss, boxing gloves, and even his own gut. He masters in using the tools he has to lead into devastating combos. Don't forget the super armor he has embedded onto his golden belly! |
Neutral Special: Blunderbuss. K.Rool fires a cannonball out of his blunderbuss that, if hit back at him, can be sucked back in and launched out at a 45 degree angle upwards. He can also suck in opponents and shoot them back out. Side Special: Crownerang. K.Rool tosses his icon crown at an opponent which comes back like a boomerang-like motion. If it doesn't return, K.Rool will be without a crown for a time until he picks it back up. Up Special: Propellerpack. K.Rool whips out his helicopter backpack and flies upwards with, moving at a decent speed. The move can be angled and even hits foes above it with it's propeller. Down Special: Gut Check.

| |
|
Name: Dixie Kong Debut: Donkey Kong Country: Diddy's Kong Quest (1995) Dixie Kong is one of most well-known members of the Kong Family, being Diddy's "partner in crime". She's a mixture of aspects of quick long-ranged and short-ranged characters, using her ponytail, barrels, and gumballs to attack her opponents. While built off of Diddy, she's slightly slower and more hardhitting than he is, giving this Kong a whole meta of her own. |
Neutral Special: Barrel Throw. Dixie picks up a barrel out of thin air and is now holding onto it like an item; any attack that uses her ponytail now automatically tosses the barrel. This includes the up special blowing it above her, the grabs throwing it in the direction they're facing, and her Smash attacks sending it forwards like a rocket. Side Special: Rambi Rampage. Dixie immediately charges forwards on Rambi's back, the rhino doing substantial shield damage along with physical damage. In this state, Dixie cannot hop off of Rambi, but she's able to steer in on the ground once just in case she wants to hit something she may have missed. The properties, speed, and more make this different from something like Wario's side special. Up Special: Ponytail Spin. Dixie Kong imitates DK's up special, only flying higher with her ponytail. The ponytail itself doesn't do much damage and can be easily punished, but can do more damage from the sides when used on the ground. Down Special: Bubblegum Toss. Dixie Kong throws bubblegum onto the ground, setting up a trap for fighters. The bubblegum is rather sticky and causes a slowdown effect when stepped in, but can also affect Dixie if she herself steps in it. After a few seconds, the trap disappears into thin air. Final Smash: Gyrocopter Joyride. Dixie Kong hops into Funky's gyrocopter alongside her partner in crime Kiddy Kong, raining down bombs all over the stage and hitting any opponent in their path. The gyrocopter flies in from the background before giving the player the manual ability to drop bombs, doing immense damage if an opponent is struck multiple times with them. | |
| |
|
Name: Link Debut: The Legend of Zelda (1986) Link is back and is still rocking his iconic Breath of the Wild design.

|
Name: Sheik Debut: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998) Sheik may be returning from past Smash Bros. games, but her appearance and demeanor couldn't be any more distinct. Based off of the villainous Yiga Clan, Sheik still plays fast and stealthy, rushing into attacks and using her mobility to her advantage. Due to her affiliation with the clan, she seems a lot more sinister than before. |

| |
|
Name: Zelda Debut: The Legend of Zelda (1986) Zelda in Super Smash Bros. Swansong has received a complete overhaul that retools her moveset. Based around technology more than magic, Zelda uses the Sheikah Slate and it's runes to cause major havoc on the battlefield. These are the exact same ones Link used during his journey in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Who says she's stuck to researching? |
Neutral Special: Seal of the Triforce. Zelda attacks an opponent with magic from her hand, "sealing" them away and damaging them. Side Special: Stasis Hand.

| |
|
Name: Ganondorf Debut: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998) Like Sheik before him, Ganondorf uses a completely new design based on elements from Breath of the Wild. Covered in ancient Sheikah tech and the corruptive force of Malice, Ganondorf's corpse has been brought back to life with a vengeance. He has a completely unique moveset, keeping absolutely nothing from his old incarnation. These moves are based off of the Calamity Ganon boss fight from the previously-mentioned game. |
Neutral Special: Critical Strike. Ganondorf repeatedly slashes around his sword-arm, going from the left to the right while pushing himself slightly forwards after the final swing.

The sword unleashes a fast-moving fireball across the stage, taking opponents with it as it travels. Up Special: Flight of the Malice.

If he touches an opponent, they're sent flying back as he returns to his normal state. Down Special: Guardian Javelin.

| |
|
Name: Toon Link Debut: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (2003) The Hero of Winds is an incarnation of Link with a rather distinct appearance, notable for his stature and cat-like eyes.

| |
|
Name: Toon Zelda Debut: The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker (2003) Toon Zelda is the cartoonish version of Hyrule's beloved princess. Since the regular Zelda uses an entirely different moveset from her past self, Toon Zelda takes the old moveset and uses it, using Din's Fire, Nayru's Love, and Farore's Wind just like the old Zelda. Some of these moves are swapped around; for example, Phantom Slash is now her side special. |
Neutral Special: Din’s Fire. Toon Zelda launches a ball of fire that goes off in the direction she was facing, detonating near fighters. Side Special: Phantom Slash.

| |
|
Name: Tetra Debut: The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker (2003) Tetra is Toon Zelda's pirate alter ego, complete with a different flair, personality, and fighting style.

| |
|
Name: Phantom Ganon Debut: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998) An illusion created by the Great King of Evil to duel with the Hero of Time, Phantom Ganon is a pure manifestation of evil. Since Ganondorf got himself a new moveset, Phantom Ganon keeps most of it intact barring his up special and Final Smash, both utilizing elements from Ocarina of Time. If you aren't careful, Phantom Ganon is a slow yet hard-hitting threat. |
Neutral Special: Phantom Punch. Phantom Ganon charges up a devastatingly powerful punch using dark magic, sending his target flying if the attack lands. Side Special: Flame Choke. Phantom Ganon rushes towards their target and picks them up by the neck, dropping them once he's done with them. Up Special: Dead Man's Volley.

| |
|
Name: Skull Kid Debut: The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask (2001) A normal Skull Kid overtaken by the influence of Majora’s Mask, it seems that the mask does most of the fighting by using the child as his puppet. Skull Kid excels at movement, being able to zip around the stage and in the air with relative ease. This, along with his overall moveset, makes him quite the tricky character to utilize, with all of his specials depending on timing to get the best results. |
Neutral Special: Tag Team Fairy Frenzy. Skull Kid calls upon Tatl and Tael, his two fairy friends from Majora’s Mask. Upon being summoned, the fairies move forwards in a straight line and latch onto any foes in their path. If no one is there, they simply disappear, but if they catch someone, they catch them in place and allow Skull Kid to move in and dish out free attacks. This attack is easy to wiggle out of at lower percents. Side Special: Majora’s Curse. Skull Kid points at the ground as a bolt of dark energy seeps into the ground. Skull Kid is now able to move this bolt, now a “puddle” of sorts, along the ground in one direction. He’s able to leave the puddle there and keep fighting, acting similarly to Snake’s C4’s. Upon activation, a burst of dark magic explodes from underneath a foe, doing no status effects but doing considerable damage. Up Special: Playtime. Skull Kid lets out a maniacal laugh as he spins around, disappearing into thin air as purple smoke appears where he once was. Upon disappearing, Skull Kid is able to be rotated by 360 degrees around in a circle, jetting off like a rocket towards his selected destination. The attack does damage, but only on the first few frames where Skull Kid launches himself forwards. Down Special: Puppet. Skull Kid whips out a horn and blows into it, summoning two large wooden puppets in front of him. While looking similar to Toon Zelda’s Phantom, the puppets function like a homing missile and actively seek out the closest opponent. The puppets only appears for a few three seconds, but if it reaches its target, both ram into the foe and shatter upon impact. Final Smash: Reincarnation of Wrath. Skull Kid falls to the ground lifeless as Majora’s Mask tries to aim for a target. If the mask collides with a fighter, they’re then taken to a mysterious realm within the moon where Majora goes through all three phases of its boss fight, sprouting tentacles and lashing at his target before becoming Majora’s Incarnation and physically assaulting them while spinning. Finally, a series of whip strikes from Majora’s Wrath ends the attack, sending the puppet flying. | |

Name: Maz Koshia Debut: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (2017) One of the many monks whose corpse was mummified in a state of prayer, Maz Koshia has leapt back to life and entered the world of Smash. Maz Koshia fights with ancient Sheikah tactics, summoning clones of himself, electric arrows, and spiked balls that can lead to unique combo setups and let Koshia do plenty of damage with weaker smash attacks. Koshia is agile, fast, and if used right, extremely hard-hitting. |
Neutral Special: Clone’s Strike. Maz Koshia summons an identical copy of himself that dies in one hit, but essentially acts as the Nana to Koshia’s Popo. The twin is weaker, but can open up plenty of unique setups with the use of the clone. The clone, if B is pressed once more, can run across the stage and try to hit a target once with a Guardian Sword+, but at the cost of immediately disappearing even if it misses. Side Special: Spike Ball. Maz Koshia puts his hands together and summons a large Sheikah-branded spiked ball that lingers behind him the air. By using side B again, Maz Koshia launches the ball in whatever direction and angle he happens to be facing.

|
Name: Lucario Debut: Pokémon Diamond & Pearl (2007) The Aura Pokémon, Lucario, comes back to join the fight and duke it out with Nintendo's best. Lucario, when taking damage, gets more and more powerful at high percentages. If you're still alive by then, Lucario becomes a deadly force to deal with. He does cap out at around 150%, reaching his maximum amount of power at that point while also being easier to knock out due to how much damage he's potentially taken. |
Neutral Special: Aura Sphere. Lucario charges up a ball of aura energy, unleashing it on his foes. The ball is able to stored for later and unleashed at a later time. Side Special: Force Palm. Lucario pummels opponents in his way using both of his palms. Up Special: Extreme Speed. Lucario jets upward in a straight line via the power of aura. Down Special: Double Team. Lucario can evade enemy attacks by rapidly splitting into two forms of himself. Final Smash: Aura Blast. Lucario jumps up high in the air and shoots out a large laser, decimating whoever is in it's path of destruction, transforming into Mega Lucario while doing so. Unlike the Fianl Smash's previous incarnation, the laser is easier to tilt, making it easier to get opponents stuck in the attack. | |
|
Name: Greninja Debut: Pokémon X & Y (2013) The Ninja Pokémon, Greninja, makes another splash in the Smash Bros. scene! Greninja is fast and agile, hopping around with great speed and sneaking up on his foes. Many of his moves are about evading an opponent before coming back and striking them down. |
Neutral Special: Water Shuriken. Greninja is able to toss a large water shuriken at foes while also being able to charge its size and power. Side Special: Shadow Sneak. Greninja's shadow moves a short distance, prompting Greninja to teleport to it himself. Up Special: Hydro Pump.

|
Name: Incineroar Debut: Pokémon Sun & Moon (2016) The final evolution in the Litten line, Incineroar is back and is prepared to bring the heat once more. Incineroar is a heel wrestler, using devious tactics and trickery to get his point across; the point that HE'S the boss. Incineroar is the slowest fighter in the game, but makes up for it in the power of his attacks and unique fighting style. |
Neutral Special: Darkest Lariat. Incineroar spins around rapidly, propelling himself forward and leaning slightly sideways before hitting an opponent multiple times. Side Special: Alolan Whip. Incineroar grabs an opponent and throws them away, having them bounce off of a wrestling ring rope. The attack performed after depends completely on timing, allowing Incineroar to hit hard with the button is pressed at the right time. Up Special: Cross Chop. Incineroar leaps upwards into the air before rocketing back down below. If he lands on an opponent or the stage, the impact of the attack creates a small explosion. Down Special: Revenge.

Final Smash: Max Malicious Moonslaught. Incineroar runs forward and grabs an opponent before throwing them into a ring rope and punching them up into the sky. Incineroar finishes the attack by leaping on top of his foes and sending them crashing into the ring, creating an explosion. | |
|
Name: Sceptile Debut: Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire (2002) After years of waiting, the Forest Pokémon has finally left the Hoenn region and joined his fellow starter members in Smash! Sceptile is much more physical than he is projectile heavy, although his down special can lead to crafty plays and attacks. His other attacks are all physical, depending on him getting close to his foes to get the job done. |
Neutral Special: Leaf Blade. Sceptile slashes with the blades on its arms, ending with him using both arms to slash in an X formation. The X formation in particular is great at breaking shields depending on the circumstances. Side Special: Leaf Storm. Sceptile charges up an attack and launches a series of grass blades in front of him. The blades do multiple hits on an opponent if they’re in front from Sceptile, acting as a sort of jab combo. Up Special: Aerial Ace. Sceptile launches up into the air at a quick speed, covering great horizontal distance. If he hits an opponent from below, he gains a bit of additional air time as the foe flies upwards from the attack. Down Special: Absorb. Sceptile fires a seed at a foe. If the seed hits them, a series of thorns poke out from under them and helps Sceptile recover health while the opponent takes damage. If it misses, the seed has no effect. Final Smash: Solar Beam. Sceptile begins to absorb sunlight as he Mega Evolves into Mega Sceptile. Upon the transformation’s completion, Sceptile fires out a beam of solar energy that does immense damage to foes, acting as a sideways version of Lucario’s Aura Storm. | |
|
Name: Zoroark Debut: Pokémon Black & White (2010) The Illusion Fox Pokémon has finally come out of its Pokéball once and for all and joins other monsters on the battlefield! Zoroark is a mix of various characters, utilizing moves from Wolf‘s new moveset, Greninja, and Zeraora along with a unique move, Payback, which boosts its strength based on its use of combos. A quick and agile creature, Zoroark is a ferocious foe with tricks up his sleeve to boot. |
Neutral Special: Payback. Zoroark unleashes a few slashes, pushing a foe back. If Zoroark follows the attack up with more combos, his strength is boosted until he’s locked in a combo himself. This is the only original attack Zoroark has in his kit. Side Special: Hone Claws. Zoroark charges up multiple swipes from his claws before unleashing the attack on any nearby foe, finishing with a slightly stronger one. The move functions the same as Wolf’s Rapid Slash attack. Up Special: Acrobatics. Zoroark leaps high up into the air and repeatedly slashes with his claws, ending with one swipe upwards before the attack ends. The properties of this attack are much different than Zeraora’s due to the lack of electric energy. Down Special: Substitute. Zoroark disappears as a green substitute doll sits where he once stood, reappearing like a bullet with his claws barred. This move, while similar to Greninja’s down special, leads into combos easier than his. Final Smash: Night Daze. Zoroark rushes at a nearby foe and launches them into a dark and spooky forest. As they lie there, Zoroark comes down from the sky claws-first and lands on the opponent, creating a shockwave of dark energy as the attack ends. | |
|
Name: Zeraora Debut: Pokémon Sun & Moon (2016) Zeraora is known as the Thunderclap Pokémon, debuting as the last Pokémon in 2016's Pokémon Sun & Moon. In Smash, Zeraora is a speedy fighter that prioritizes in getting up close to foes or trapping them, making it hard for them to fight and easier for him to dish out attacks. His special ability, Volt Absorb, has him heal from attacks if he repeatedly gets hits in, but stops when he's hit during a winning streak. |
Neutral Special: Thunder Punch. Zeraora delivers a strong series of punches, his paws covered in electric sparks. These punches can go on for as long as the fighter wants at the cost of wearing Zeraora down the longer the attack is used, making him slightly slower for a good bunch of frames. The final punch has his fist fully enveloped in electricity, stunning his prey. Side Special: Electroweb. Zeraora charges up an attack from his paws, shooting out a "web" of electric energy at foes. If another fighter is caught by the web, they're electrocuted before being launched back slightly. The delay on being launched back allows for Zeraora to rush in with the available frames to deal extra hits, making Electroweb a great overall combo starter. Up Special: Acrobatics. Zeraora leaps high up into the air, repeatedly slashing and striking at the same time before beginning to fall back down. The attack can be angled to the left or the right slightly depending on where the player moves the control stick. The beginning of the attack, the leap, does no damage and can leave Zeraora vulnerable, but the second half, the slashing allows him to fight back with fierce intent. Down Special: Plasma Fists. Zeraora lifts his arms up into the air before slamming them back down, creating an electric shockwave that travels across the stage until it either damages an opponent or disappears. The shockwave's damage peaks around Zeraora, getting progressively weaker as it travels outwards and making the attack a great tool for keeping up-close opponents off your back. Final Smash: Gigavolt Havoc. Zeraora leaps into the air, it's entire body surrounded in lightning. Between it's paws is a bolt of electricity that is unleashed on whoever is trapped in the attack, taking the form of an electric blast that completely annihilates the fighter and hits the stage with rapid force. Even those who aren't involved in the Final Smash can be damaged by walking up to the blast, although they take less damage then the initial targets. | |
|
Name: Pikachu Libre Debut: Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire (2014) Pikachu Libre, formerly an alternate costume for Pikachu, has now become her own original fighter! Retaining the speed of Pikachu with the brutal strength of Incineroar, she acts as a crossroads between a fusion and a new fighter altogether, balancing Incineroar and Pikachu’s moves with a unique up special and Final Smash. |
Neutral Special: Thunder Jolt. Pikachu Libre unleashes a ball of electricity that bounces in arc formations. The speed in which the ball moves fully depends on how long the ball has been charged, going slower the larger it is. Side Special: Hoennian Whip. Pikachu Libre grabs an opponent and throws them away, having them bounce off of a wrestling ring rope. The attack performed after depends completely on timing, allowing Libre to hit hard with electricity the button is pressed at the right time. Up Special: Flying Press. Pikachu Libre leaps up into the air, going in a slight arc formation before reaching her peak. At this point, she slams down upon the ground, burying any opponent directly beneath her. Down Special: Revenge. Pikachu Libre blocks an attack and sends out a weak one. This move boosts the strength of Libre's next attack, making her stronger for a turn. Unlike Incineroar’s same attack, the move really benefits from the use of electric attacks. Final Smash: Thunderclap Press. Pikachu Libre rams into nearby opponents, throwing them into a wrestling ring as she lands on a wrestling rope. Pikachu Libre then jumps up into the air, slamming back down on her foes as she surrounds herself in electricity, lightning erupting from the sheer impact. | |
|
Name: Ness Debut: Earthbound (1994) Ness is an ordinary boy from the small town of Onett with a secret: he has surprisingly powerful psychic abilities.

He's extremely versatile with a good range of close and long ranging fighting abilities to boot. |
Neutral Special: PK Fire. Ness fires a bolt of lightning out of his fingertips, exploding into a small flame upon landing. Side Special: PK Flash. Ness creates a ball of light that travels slightly above his head and can charge it up, the explosion being bigger depending on the charge. Up Special: PK Thunder.

|
Name: Lucas Debut: Mother 3 (2006) Lucas is a young boy and twin brother of Claus who has the ability to pull out the Seven Needles from the Earth. He plays uniquely with moves like PK Freeze, but borrows elements from Ness, like variations on his specials and Final Smash. |

|
Name: Masked Man Debut: Mother 3 (2006) The mysterious leader of Porky’s horrifying Pigmask Army, the Masked Man has more to him than meets the eye. None of his moves are similar to each other; in one, he could be using his arm cannon, while in another, he could be using his mechanical cyborg wings. The Masked Man is a jack of all trades with powerful tools at his disposal to boot, making a small yet dangerous opponent. |
Neutral Special: Shot Fire. The Masked Man fires out a single burst of energy out of his arm cannon. The blast can be charged by holding down the B button, but cannot be held in and immediately releases once the button is released or another attack is used. Side Special: Strike Slash. The Masked Man jumps into the air, leaping forwards as he thrusts his blade forwards. If he hits an opponent at the attack’s height, they’re launched farther than they usually would be. Up Special:Scissor Wings. The Masked Man sprouts out mechanical wings from his back, propelling him upwards. The wings flap downwards, hitting anything in their path. The recovery goes into more an arc shape rather than a straight line. Down Special: Shield Killer. The Masked Man lets off a brilliant flash of yellow light around him, damaging anyone nearby. Its name comes from how it’s a rather powerful move against shields, shrinking them if not outright breaking them. Final Smash: Lightning Blade. The Masked Man dashes into opponents, sending them into a state of freefall in the air before he raises his blade, calling down lightning to strike his trapped foes. The amount of lightning depends on how many opponents you’ve caught in the attack, the attack failing if no opponents are dashed into. | |
|
Name: Captain Falcon Debut: F-Zero (1990) Douglas Jay Falcon, known as the F-Zero racer/bounty hunter Captain Falcon, acts as a hard-hitting fighter that's fast on his feet. Falcon requires a lot of skill to truly master due to his immense speed and his wild physical attacks, preferring to launch himself into opponents and run back out before repeating the process. He's quick, just like his home games. |
Neutral Special: Falcon Punch. Captain Falcon pulls back his arm as it covers itself in flames before unleashing a deadly punch, all while screaming "Falcon...PAWNCH!!" Side Special: Raptor Boost.

|
Name: Phoenix Debut: F-Zero AX (2003) Phoenix is a time-traveling police officer from the 29th century on a mission to take down any criminals he can find. In Smash, he acts as Captain Falcon's echo fighter, using the same moveset as the captain while being a slightly heavier fighter based on getting in and getting out as fast as he can. His partner, QQQ, can be seen in his Final Smash. |
Neutral Special: Phoenix Strike. Phoenix pulls back his arm as it covers itself in electriciy before unleashing a deadly punch, all while screaming "Phoenix...STRIKE!" Side Special: Eagle Boost.

|
Name: Black Shadow Debut: F-Zero X (1998) The cold-hearted leader of the BS Group, Black Shadow, steps into Smash in order to take down those he considers weaker than him.

He's a heavyweight that packs a powerful punch, preferring to get in on an opponent and force them to get out instead. |
Neutral Special: Bully Charged. Black Shadow charges up an attack from his horns, staying in one spot before lunging forwards and shoving opponents into the air. Side Special: Shadow Spin. Black Shadow holds back an attack before spinning around in place, clobbering any nearby opponents in a similar way to a spin attack from the F-Zero series. Up Special: Boost.

Black Shadow launches a ball of dark energy at opponents that completely ties them up, forcing them to take damage while immobile for a short time. Final Smash: Black Bull. Black Shadow laughs as the Black Bull speeds towards foes and knocks them onto Phantom Road. The Black Bull then rushes at them again before Black Shadow jumps out, the vehicle exploding upon colliding with an opponent. | |
|
Name: Jody Summer Debut: F-Zero X (1998) A spokesperson of the Galactic Space Federation and highly popular F-Zero racer, Jody Summer is no one to scoff at. In Smash, she’s a fusion of fighters such as Captain Falcon, Zero Suit Samus, Chun-Li, and even Bayonetta, being one of the fastest characters in the roster while utilizing acrobatic and fast fiery kicks to duke it out with her fellow F-Zero opponents. |
Neutral Special: Cat’s Pride. Jody Summer kicks multiple times via repeatedly use of the B button, purple flames erupting around the foot nearing the end of the attack. While taken from Chun-Li, the attack’s properties are different due to the fire. Side Special (Ground): Afterburner. Jody Summers slides along the ground, purple flames surrounding her. She launches into a vertical kick if the attack is timed just right, similar to Bayonetta’s attack. Side Special (Air): Take Off. Jody Summer launches into a vertical kick, launching any opponent caught in her way high up while she’s able to get back down just fine. This functionally works the same as Bayonetta’s move. Up Special: Cat Scratch. Jody Summer launches herself upwards and, if she makes contact with an opponent, punches them away from her as she gains additional air time. Her opponents are sent farther than the ones in Captain Falcon’s up special. Down Special: Flip Kick. Jody Summer leaps up in an arc shape, bouncing off any walls or fighters that stand between her. The attack does more damage to foes than Zero Suit Samus’s version while staying at the same speed. Final Smash: White Cat. Jody Summer calls upon her vehicle, the White Cat, as it rams into nearby opponents and forces them onto a race track. Jody, now in the vehicle, proceeds to run over the fighter and speed off as the fighter is sent soaring off into the distance. | |
|
Name: Ice Climbers Debut: Ice Climber (1985) Popo (the one in blue) and Nana (the one in pink) are two parka-wearing kids who are known for their single NES outing in the 80's...and their ability to climb frozen peaks.

|
Name: Marth Debut: Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light (1990) Marth is the prince of Altea and essentially the mascot of the Fire Emblem series.

Returning to his design from Melee, Roy is known for his short-range combat, rushing in and out of attacks. His sword, the Sword of Seals, deals physical damage with the addition of fire. In addition to his sword doing more damage at the hilt, his shorter height makes him much lighter and faster. |

If Roy charges it for too long, he'll be forced to unleash the attack and take damage while doing so. Side Special: Double-Edge Dance. Roy slashes at an opponent four times in rapid succession. The attack only works if the first attack lands, allow Up Special: Blazer. Roy thrusts his sword into the air, jumping upwards as fire trails behind him.

The meter above Roy replicates the style of his debut game on the Game Boy Advance. | |
|
Name: Chrom Debut: Fire Emblem: Awakening (2012) The prince of Ylisse, Chrom returns from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and remains an echo of Roy with elements of Ike.

|
Name: Echidna Debut: Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade (2002) The leader of the resistance against the corrupt Etrurian rule in the Western Isles and “Goddess of the West”, Echidna is the first axe-user in Smash up to this point. The axe is what separates her from other fighters, combing a powerful hard-hitting weapon with decent speed. The specific axe she uses is the Killer Axe, allowing for her attacks to reach out farther. |
Neutral Special: Killing Dart. Echidna charges up an attack from her Killer Axe, pulling it and herself back before launching forwards. If the axe hits a foe, they’re knocked up straight into the air rather than going in the opposite direction. Side Special: Axe Rush.

If she does, the axe does a good chunk of damage to the opponent at the cost of leaving Echidna open to attacks. Up Special: Leaping Strike.

If she fails to hit anyone or reach a ledge, she descends rather quickly, an especially dangerous prospect in the air. Down Special: Counter Sweep.

If the attack hits her, she’ll thrust her axe behind her before sweeping it at the opponent, knocking them back as she stays still. Final Smash: Critical Shockwave.

|
Name: Legion Debut: Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem (2010) Eremiya’s masked Berserker ally, Legion is one of many versions of himself to the point where he refers to himself as “we”. In Smash, Legion is an Echo of Echidna, using the same moveset with a twist; Legion is a heavyweight fighter yet he retains the speed of a lighter character. While this would make him quite the threat, Legion is an overall glass tank and is relatively easy to take out compared to other heavyweights. |
Neutral Special: Immortal Dart. Legion charges up an attack from his Immortal Axe, pulling it and himself back before launching forwards. Unlike Echidna’s attack, Legion’s launches foes in the opposite direction rather than upwards, giving a good chunk of distance between him and his prey. Side Special: Axe Rush. Legion, the blades of his axe facing outwards, rushes in the direction he’s facing in the hopes of hitting a foe. If he does, the axe does a good chunk of damage to the opponent at the cost of leaving Legion open to attacks. This is even more devastating to Legion due to his relative frailness overall. Up Special: Leaping Strike. Legion throws the Immortal Axe into the air in an arc formation before leaping back up to grab it. If he fails to hit anyone or reach a ledge, he descends even faster than Echidna, plummeting with almost no chance of survival depending on where he’s located. Down Special: Counter Sweep. Legion raises his axe to his chest, preparing for an upcoming attack. If the attack hits him, he’ll thrust him axe behind him before sweeping it at the opponent, knocking them back as he stays still. The attack is slower to execute than the original, but does a ton more damage overall. Final Smash: Critical Shockwave. Legion throws his axe high up into the air, jumping up to grab it as the weapon moves directly above a foe. Legion grabs it and slams back down on that same opponent, creating a shockwave that kills pixelated enemy forces from New Mystery of the Emblem before the attack ends. | |

|
Name: Vampire Wario Debut: Wario Land 3 (2000) Vampire Wario is one of Wario's many transformations in the Wario Land series, activating when he touches a Kobatto. In Smash, he's Wario's echo fighter; despite this, he retains only two of Wario's specials, replacing one with a variation on his dash attack. Everything else is original to Vampire Wario, acting as a more technical variation on the greedy goon. |
Neutral Special: Shake It. Vampire Wario reaches out for any nearby opponents. If he grabs one, he proceeds to shake them up and down before tossing them away from him, laughing when the attack is over. Side Special: Dracula Dash.

Final Smash: Fresh Off the Grill. Ashley and Red throw an opponent on top of a giant burger that's in the process of being made. Tens of different toppings (and even Wii Remotes) fall on top of the fighter before rats lunge at the burger, ending the Final Smash. | |
|
Name: 9-Volt Debut: WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames! (2003) Once a simple Nintendo fanboy, 9-Volt has become an incredibly versatile fighter among Nintendo's all-stars. 9-Volt's moveset uses tons of different relics from Nintendo's real life past to duke it out, whether it be the Ultra Hand, the Ten-Billion Barrel, or even the NES Zapper.

Name: Olimar Debut: Pikmin (2001) Olimar and his trusty Pikmin aren't missing out on a Smash Bros. installment. This time, Olimar is equipped with six out of the seven Pikmin types. These Pikmin have different damage outputs, weight, and effects, so make sure you know how to deal with them. |

|

|
Name: King Hippo Debut: Punch-Out!! (1987) One of the many opponents Little Mac has faced, King Hippo is possibly one of the heaviest fighters in all of Super Smash Bros. Swansong, acting as an amalgamation of characters like Little Mac, King K.Rool, and King Dedede. He’s as slow as Incineroar and lacks a KO Meter, but makes up for it with his brutal strength and better up special, lifted from King Dedede of all fighters. |
Neutral Special: Tropical Takedown. King Hippo, using K.Rool’s forward smash as a neutral special, charges up a single strong punch from his fist. The attack does massive damage if it hits a foe, but leaves him open if it misses. Side Special: Hippo Haymaker. King Hippo lurches forward slightly, his fist moving outwards as he tries to clobber a foe. If he misses and hits the stage, he flops on his belly and grunts before getting back up. Up Special: Hippo Jump. King Hippo leaps vertically into the air with little horizontal distance, creating a damaging shockwave if he lands on the stage. The shockwave alters this from King Dedede’s move, making Hippo much more dangerous. Down Special: Grate Gut.

Final Smash: Dinner Time. King Hippo starts to eat as much food as he can to prepare for a title match; by that, it means that King Hippo will then jump into the ring and rapidly punch opponents, ending in the one fighter he trapped being immediately K.O.’d. | |
|
Name: Shulk Debut: Xenoblade Chronicles (2010) A young man who wields the Monado, Shulk's fight against the Mechon has led him back to the world of Smash Bros.!

|
Name: Elma Debut: Xenoblade Chronicles X (2015) A BLADE colonel and the leader of the Reclaimers Division, Elma brings a unique playstyle to the world of Smash, utilizing dual swords and dual pistols. Her down special allows for her to switch out her weapon with the other, giving her a set of two specials each (minus said down special). This makes her options very versatile and allows for multiple ways to fight with her. |
Neutral Special (Guns): Violent Streak. Elma whips out her dual guns and fires at opponents rapidly. Repeatedly pressing the B button makes more bullets come out, although the attack isn’t infinite and bullets eventually do run out. Neutral Special (Swords): Electric Surge. Elma charges up her swords with electric energy via holding B down. The longer the attack is charged, the more power the attack has when it lands on a foe. Side Special (Guns): Sliding Slinger. Elma slides along the ground, her guns firing a few shots in front of her before he gets up and puts them away. The bullets fire in a 15 or 45 degree angle depending on if you press the B button during the slide. Side Special (Swords): Stream Edge. Elma swipes her blades once in front of her and performs various other attacks via the pressing of the B button. Each attack, if it hits an enemy, is gradually stronger than the last.

If these bullets hit a foe from above, they have a chance to stun them and launch them farther than they normally would. Up Special (Swords): Shadowstrike.

Down Special: Weapon Swap. Elma stops and changes her current weapon into the unused one, changing her first three specials to totally different ones. While it does no damage, the different playstyles that come with each swap vastly change how Elma plays. Final Smash: Aghasura Cannon. Elma calls upon one of the many Skells from Xenoblade Chronicles X, Ares, and begins to pilot it. The Skell is able to fire one single blast from it’s Aghasura Cannon and decimate a random point on the stage, damaging whoever the blast touches. | |
|
Name: Mòrag & Brighid Debut: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (2017) The Special Inquisitor of the Ardainian Empire, Mòrag and her Blade, Brighid, have come to duke it out in the world of Smash. Brighid is a stationary background character akin to the Pokémon Trainer with a twist; the Affinity mechanic. If Mòrag is closer to Brighid during the fight, her smash attacks and specials go farther and increase in power. When far away, however, the opposite effect occurs. |
Neutral Special: Judgement. Mòrag stands still and lashes her whipsword forward, the furthest point of the weapon doing more damage than the rest. When close to Brighid, the attack gains more range.

When getting closer to Brighid, the reach of the whipswords expand. Down Special: War Pyre.

The buff is more prominent when closer to Brighid. Final Smash: Soulfire. Mòrag and Brighid come close to each other and uses the Blade Special of the same name to engulf enemies in a series of bright blue flames. Both of them use flaming whipswords to deal out two final hits, ending the attack in a blazing fury. | |
|
Name: Duck Hunt Debut: Duck Hunt (1984) Unlike most fighters, Duck Hunt is made up of three fighters; the dog, the duck, and the NES Zapper. Duck Hunt likes to control the stage, using long-reaching projectiles to deal out damage instead of running straight into an opponent. Other games that used the NES Zapper are also present in the trio's moveset, such as Wild Gunman and Hogan's Alley. |

|
Name: Inkling Debut: Splatoon (2015) The squid-kid hybrid has returned for another brawl, this time rocking a design straight out of Splatoon 2. A fast and frantic fighter, the Inkling needs to fuel up on ink often and is able to coat fighters and the stage in said ink they can swim in.

Neutral Special: Move. Felix summons a large glowing hand that damages opponents, pushing them backwards while damaging them at the same time. While functioning similarly to Isaac’s same move, the hand is smaller at the cost of doing more damage to whoever it ends up touching. Side Special: Jupiter Dash. Felix charges up a sword strike before dashing across the stage, striking anyone in his path with the use of elemental energy. This version of the attack is more powerful than Isaacs due to Felix’s sword being an overall longer weapon, even dealing more damage at the middle of the blade. Up Special: Retreat. Felix casts the Psynergy spell, Retreat, causing him to disappear into thin air and end up higher up in the air or farther away from where he previously was.

Felix calls upon Judgement, who swoops down from the sky and fires a blast from his lion gun. The blast damages all opponents caught in it's range, enveloping an entire point on the stage. Unlike other moves in Felix’s kit, Judgement functions the exact same between him and Isaac. | |

|
Name: Ken Debut: Street Fighter (1987) The original Echo Fighter returns to the battlefield once more, retaining all of his original moves and design from Super Street Fighter II Turbo.

|
Name: Noctis Debut: Final Fantasy XV (2016) Born to the throne of Lucis, Noctis Lucis Caelum uses his Engine Blade and the power of the Lucian Kings to fight. Noctis does better when he catches opponents off-guard with the Engine Blade's warp function. He specializes in getting extremely close to opponents via the blade and striking them when they least expect it. His play style rewards the player with a good combo game and a good amount of power to back it up. |
Neutral Special: Engine Strike. Noctis slashes at foes with the Engine Blade, dealing good damage and decent knockback if it lands. Side Special: Warp Punish. Noctis charges up an attack from the Engine Blade, resulting in him warping forwards and stabbing them with the blade. If timed just right, it can do massive damage to foes. Up Special: Death Drop.

|
Name: Terra Debut: Final Fantasy VI (1994) A human/Esper halfbreed Magitek amnesiac with a mysterious past, Terra Branford has removed the Slave Crown and is ready to fight. In Smash, Terra uses the many spells known in the Final Fantasy series, acting as a glass cannon with a twist. A magic meter exists near her character icon, charging up overtime while lowering with the use of magic attacks and resulting in stronger magic if left charged. |
Neutral Special: Blizzara. Terra places a diamond made of ice in front of her and can leave it there for a few seconds. Terra also has the ability to place another diamond somewhere else on the stage if she has the time. After time has passed, the crystal(s) will fly up into the sky at an angle, taking any foe in their path with them until they shatter after a few frames. Neutral Special (Charged): Blizzaga. Terra places five orbs made of ice in a pentagon shape mid-air before immediately launching forwards. The orbs do slight damage with each one but really add up if all hit a foe one after another. Like her uncharged attack, Terra can leave the orbs be for a while before they automatically fire off. Side Special: Fira. Terra puts both of her hands up and shoots up to four balls of fire across the stage. The fireballs only travel in a straight and disappear within a few frames, but can rack up damage if two or more hit. Using all four fireballs at once takes a good chunk out of the magic meter, but leaves foes open to other attacks. Side Special (Charged): Firaga. Terra swings her blade along the ground, creating a single large wave of fire that travel along the stage. The wave does fire damage, but mainly does one hit rather than multiple. To compensate for the large size of the wave, it travels rather slowly but hits like a truck once it touches you. Up Special: Tornado. Terra spins her blade around herself, creating a tornado around herself that launches them up into the air. The tornado is able to pull nearby projectiles and items towards Terra and can do slight damage to anyone who touches it. The main purpose of the attack is to provide vertical distance for Terra, however. Up Special (Charged): Tornadaga. Terra spins around and summons a much more powerful tornado, propelling her both horizontally and vertically. The tornado does much more damage to anyone who happens to touch it and is able to block weak projectiles, doubling its use as a recovery and a damaging attack. Down Special: Trance. Terra changes into her purple Esper form and gains a substantial increase to speed and attack at the cost of her magic meter. The attack can be used at any time (minus when cooldown is in effect), but it drains the meter as it’s used. An upside is that using her other specials don’t drain the meter in this state. Final Smash: Riot Blade. Terra’s transforms into her Esper form and is given the Lightbringer, the most powerful sword in Final Fantasy VI. Terra immediately rushes towards the nearest foe, striking them with Riot Blade and the powerful effects that come with it. As one last attack, Terra uses Meteor, bombarding her prey with meteors before reverting back to her human form. | |

|
Name: Rodin Debut: Bayonetta (2009) Formerly a famous weaponsmith working alongside angelic forces, Ronin is now one of the most feared demons of all time.

Despite this, the Infinite One is very good at keeping opponents away and rushing at them when their guard is down. |
Neutral Special: Laser Eyes. Rodin lifts his sunglasses up slightly and fires lasers from his eyes, going in a straight line across the stage. Side Special: Infernal Portal.

Neutral Special: Axe. Simon tosses an axe, which goes in an arc formation in the air before landing or hitting another foe. Side Special: Cross.

Neutral Special: Axe. Richter tosses an axe, which goes in an arc formation in the air before landing or hitting another foe. Side Special: Cross. Richter tosses a holy cross at an opponent, functioning like a boomerang when it returns. It's power depends on how the control stick is moved when throwing it. Up Special: Uppercut.

He's a lighter character than other Belmonts, meaning he can get his multiple hits in faster as well. |

|
Name: Rock Howard Debut: Garou: Mark of the Wolves (1999) Biological son of Geese Howard and adoptive son of Terry Bogard, Rock Howard joins the fray with a twist on the Fatal Fury series’ icons. Rock brings a mix of both his adoptive and biological father’s fighting styles, using Terry’s up special and overall kit while taking Geese’s Reppuken among other things. Just like Terry, he comes with two side specials and two input specials, making him quite the deadly fighter. |
Neutral Special: Repuuken. Rock fires a blast of blue energy from his fingers, aiming it at the ground. The attack moves along the ground for a short time and acts as a sort of wall unlike Terry’s Power Wave. When the B button is held down, the attack is slightly larger, moves faster, and deals slight knockback. It’s better for leading into attacks rather than being any kind of finisher. Side Special (Forwards): Hard Edge. Rock rushes forward as his hand begins to be covered in blue energy, eventually striking a nearby opponent with full force via the open palm of his hand. The dash is lightning quick and acts as a sort of counter. When a special input is entered, Rock travels farther with more force behind his attack, dealing more damage and gaining more invulnerability upon startup. Side Special (Backwards): Crack Counter. Rock prepares himself for an enemy attack, holding his arms close. If an enemy hits him, Rock will unleash a stationary version of the Crack Shoot attack. The attack has alright knockback and good damage, but a special input allows it to be followed by a smaller and weaker Crack Shoot that knocks opponents into the air slightly. Up Special: Rising Tackle. Rock leaps up into the air with his legs facing the sky, spinning around rapidly while doing so. While it doesn’t get him that far up, the move is good for doing damage to those right above you. The move has the same special input as Terry’s, but is slightly slower to make up for a boost in power. Down Special: Shinkuu Nage. Rock holds his palm out; in this state, any physical attack will be halted by Rock as he throws his opponent overhead behind him. While not doing too much damage, its a move that's easy to follow into; in addition, a special input gives the throw more power overall. Input Special 1: Shining Knuckle. When Rock is at over 100%, Rock can execute ↓ ↘ → ↓ ↘ → + A or ↓ → ↓ → + A to activate Shining Knuckle, allowing him to dash forwards to deal multiple hits to a foe. The initial strike does more damage than the other hits, but each hit adds up and can end up in a K.O. if the opponent’s damage is high enough. If Rock misses an opponent, he’s vulnerable for a good few frames. Input Special 2: Raging Storm. When Rock is at over 100%, Rock can execute ↓ ↘ → ↓ ↘ → + B or ↓ → ↓ → + B to activate Raging Storm. Rock shoves his hands on the ground and creates a pillar of energy around him, doing massive damage to anyone right next to him. The power at the center is similar to a bomb item, but the effect is weaker if a fighter touches the top of it first. Final Smash: Neo Deadly Rave. Rock enacts his own version of Geese’s Deadly Rave attack, slamming into an opponent with Shining Knuckle while his fist is covered in blue/purple energy. Rock then launches into a rapid series of punches and kicks before finishing off with a large energy-powered projectile that sends Rock’s target flying. At high percents, this can easily K.O. anyone unfortunate enough to be in Rock’s path. | |
|
Name: Cuphead Debut: Cuphead (2017) The more mischievous of the two container cranium kiddos, Cuphead joins the fray in his signature 1930’s cartoon style! Cuphead is a master of vertical and horizontal movement; while slow, his dash makes him temporarily invincible at the cost of no damage, he has a unique “Air Special” that allows him to parry, he can get serious air in most situations...Cuphead’s got you covered on all bases! |
Neutral Special: Peashooter. Cuphead snaps his fingers together and shoots out multiple shots of energy in a straight line, disappearing across the screen if it doesn’t hit anything. The attack itself is incredibly weak but can fire multiple times without the opponent flinching; however, it can’t be fired forever. Air Special: Parry. Instead of being able to use his neutral special in the air, Cuphead gains an entirely unique “Air Special” in the form of his iconic parry ability. When pressing B in the air, Cuphead is able to slap anything underneath him, acting as a sort spike while giving Cuphead extra air time overall. Don’t worry, though; he can still use every other attack in the air! Side Special: Roundabout. Cuphead fires a single projectile that functions like a boomerang. The blast moves forward before coming around over Cuphead’s cup head, flying off into the distance. Only one shot can be fired off at once, but the damage done on both of it’s trips is pretty decent for the projectile it is. Up Special: Plane Crazy. Cuphead briefly turns into his airplane form and performs a shuttle loop-like motion in the air, turning back into his regular cup form upon the loop concluding. If the B button is pressed at the peak of the loop, Cuphead is able to fire out small bullets straight up into the air before reverting. Down Special: Chaos Orbit. Cuphead snaps his fingers and creates four green stars that begin to circle around him, protecting him from melee and projectiles attacks. Cuphead has to snap his finger four times if he wants all four stars, but can stop whenever he wants and end up with one to four stars to protect him. Final Smash: Energy Beam. Cuphead rushes towards the other side of the screen and jumps up before enacting his super move known as Energy Beam. Now spinning and aiming his head horizontally, Cuphead fires out a large beam of energy across the stage that massively damages anyone in its path. The beam can’t be dodged out of and launches anyone caught in off in the direction their back was facing. | |

Name: Crono Debut: Chrono Trigger (1995) A young man from 1000 AD, Crono is a silent yet strong fighter who went on a time-traveling odyssey with his friends. Crono is a fast character, able to deal hits and dodge them quickly. The way he holds his sword with both hands also affects his play style, making him different from any other swordsman. While relying on his blade for all attacks, Crono uses it in interesting ways, often applying elemental effects for extra damage. |
Neutral Special: Cyclone Spin. Crono, holding his sword out by the hilt, spins around twice in a circle. While performing the attack, Crono is able to be moved in a similar fashion to the Ice Climbers, the main difference being that Crono can shove his sword downs with the press of the B button. This action creates a small shockwave around the sword, dealing extra damage while canceling the attack itself. Side Special: Lightning Strikes. Crono holds out his sword as the B button and control stick are held in unison, rumbling thunder being heard in the background. Once the player lets go of the B button, Crono slashes his sword, kncoking any up-close opponents straight into the path of a lightning bolt, doing double the damage in a small amount of time. If both miss, the lightning stuns the floor, but nothing else happens. Up Special: Barrage of Blades. Crono wildly whips around his sword, rising upwards with each individual swing. The direction the sword moves in obviously extends Crono's hitbox, but the sword's position has different effects depending on it's position when it hits a foe. The foe is able to fly across, down, or above into the air depending on how high their percentages are, some directions spiking in the air when enemies are at high percentages. Down Special: Shadow Cleave. Crono crouches down before leaping straight into the air in an arc formation. Crono is followed by a series of after-images, raising his sword into the air before slamming it back down. The sword itself has a sweet spot at the very tip, doing a substantially larger amount of damage than the regular sword on it's own. Final Smash: Luminaire. Crono calls upon close friends Marle and Lucca before performing an attack known as Luminaire. A green aura surrounds all three of them as it grows, drawing in more and more energy before exploding. The explosion causes the area around Crono to flash white before revealing who took damage and green sparkles shining around Crono, Marle and Lucca disappearing right after. Luminaire is able to kill foes who are over 100%. | |

Name: Flynn Debut: Shin Megami Tensei IV (2013) Flynn is the samurai protector of the Kingdom of Mikado, preventing multiple attacks sent from the threat of demons...until the people he protects become them.

Neutral Special: Pistol. Flynn pulls out a small gun and fires a single shot in whatever direction he's facing, the bullet traveling rather quickly. Side Special: Party Members. Flynn strikes forward and calls upon one of five different demons he can recruit into his party, all of which dealing different effects when attacking. Up Special: Phoenix Summon.

Flynn grabs the Godslayer Sword and thrusts it into nearby opponents, causing Smirk to be activated as he slashes multiple other times and sends his targets flying. | |

Name: Spyro Debut: Spyro the Dragon (1998) A member of the Artisan subspecies of dragons, Spyro is a young purple dragon who's always willing to lend a hand - or tail - when trouble arises.

Neutral Special: Shadow Fire. Cynder spits out a stream of dark fire made from the Shadow element. It's slower than Spyro's, but deals more damage overall. Side Special: Shadow Lightning. Cynder charges up an attack from her mouth, unleashing black lightning bolts that electrify whoever they touch. Up Special: Cynder Strike. Cynder thrusts her body upwards twice in a somewhat "jagged" fashion before spreading her wings out and landing back on the ground. Down Special: Shadow Strike.

The gear is easy to defeat, however, just taking one hit before disappearing. Final Smash: Dream Sequence. Shovel Knight throws a single opponent up into the air as the world becomes white around them. As Shovel Knight runs to try and catch them, he’s too late and the fighter hits the floor, taking plenty of damage as the attack ends. | |
|
Name: Polar Knight Debut: Shovel Knight (2014) Shovel Knight’s former friend, the cold and brooding Polar Knight, has made a surprise appearance in the world of Smash. Polar Knight’s main gimmick is shoveling snow and throwing it up into the air, acting as large, heavy projectiles. His down special creates said snowballs for him to simply kick at foes or use for tricky traps with the other moves in his arsenal. |
Neutral Special: Frostbite Blade. Polar Knight shoves his shovel into the ground before digging it out, two snowballs moving in arcs above him. While harder to hit foes with than Shovel Knight’s attack, these snowballs do more damage when they do hit. Side Special: Charge Forth. Polar Knight dashes across the screen, ramming into his opponents with his snow shovel. If a snowball is out on the field, Polar Knight can move it along and throw it up into the air upon the end of the attack. Up Special: Rainbow Bridge. Polar Knight calls upon a Rainbow Bridge to appear underneath him. While it doesn’t cover vertical distance, hitting the platform causes it to move forwards as a rainbow trails behind it, allowing him to get close to his enemies. Down Special: Snowball. Polar Knight kicks a large snowball across the stage. While the ball itself is somewhat slow, it takes a few hits to destroy it and can deal pretty decent damage upon touching a foe. Final Smash: Stranded Ship. Polar Knight halts the action and calls upon his home, the Stranded Ship. The wrecked vessel falls from the sky and lands on the poor souls Polar Knight caught in the attack, crushing them as chilly winds and wooden debris fly out from the impact. | |
|
Name: Spinal Debut: Killer Instinct (1994) An undead pirate turned Ultratech agent, Spinal’s insanity will stop at nothing in order to reach his goal: the Mask of the Ancients. In Smash Bros., Spinal is able to gain more strength via stringing combos together with grabs, throws, and his other attacks to gain skulls. Up to three skulls can be on-screen at once and allow him to boost the power of his special moves for a turn. |
Neutral Special: Searing Skull. Spinal launches a green skull-shaped projectiles towards his foes. With one skull, it shoots low on the ground. With two, it shoots in a straight up in the air. With three, it fires like a rocket and tries to hit from above. Side Special: Bone Shaker. Spinal raises his shield and rushes forward, damaging anyone in his path. The amount of damage Spinal does depends on how far he is from a foe, with three skulls allowing him to phase through small projectiles. Up Special: Skeleport. Spinal disappears into a portal and pops out in a different location. The amount of skulls Spinal has allows him to move higher or farther, each skull enhancing the effects of the attack. Down Special: Power Devour. Spinal raises his shield and is able to absorb small projectiles like Clay Pigeons and Din’s Fire. With these items absorb, the power of his shield is increased, but is only able to absorb three projectiles. Final Smash: Mask of the Ancients. Spinal gets his hands on the treasure he’s been searching for; the Mask of the Ancients. After putting on the mask, he launches into a frenzy of powerful attacks using his undead powers, pirate motifs, cutlass, and shields, ending it off with one final swipe of his cutlass. | |
|
Name: Great Maccao Debut: Monster Hunter Generations (2015) While seemingly a random pick, the Great Maccao represents the primal animal-based instinct side of the Monster Hunter series. Easily of the heaviest fighters in the game, the Great Maccao has very little options in the air at the cost of being a real threat on the ground, using various kicks and the rest of its body to put some real pressure onto its more mindful foes. |
Neutral Special: Maccao Kick. The Great Maccao, with the press of the B button, ends up on it’s tail and kicks twice if the button is pressed twice more. If a foe is hit by the second kick, they get knocked back farther. Side Special: Wyvern Thrust. The Great Maccao, stationary, charges up an attack using its back. When the attack is unleashed, the creature thrusts its body in a vertical line, clobbering anything in its way as it gets back up on its feet. Up Special: Dragon Lunge. The Great Maccao pulls its arms, legs, and head back in midair before lunging in a diagonal line upwards. While powerful if the attack lands, one wrong move can cost you your stocks. Down Special: Rage. The Great Maccao jumps up slightly and slams back down three times, creating shockwaves around it that grow slightly bigger with each return. The attack ends in a vicious roar from the beast, returning to its normal state. Final Smash:Rise of the Maccao’s. The Great Maccao lets out a screech as it calls upon smaller Maccao’s to help it out. All of these Maccao’s begin to rapidly attack a single opponent, kicking and biting that them before the Great Maccao delivers a final kick, ending the attack. | |
|
Name: Django Debut: Boktai: The Sun Is in Your Hand (2003) Django is the current Solar Boy and wielder of the Gun Del Sol, a gun that uses the power of the sun as energy. In Smash Bros., Django’s main gimmick is sunlight; the more he’s absorbed, the more power he has for his special moves. Using these moves drains sunlight, however, with sunlight able to be earned slowly over time or quickly recharged via his down special. |
Neutral Special: Sol Shot. Django fires a single blast of solar energy out of the Gun Del Sol. The attack can be repeated over and over again with a catch; the gun will overheat eventually, causing Django to take major damage if he doesn’t stop. With more sunlight, the blasts increase in power. Side Special: Solar Sword. Django pulls the Solar Sword out from seemingly nowhere, reeling back as the sword prepares to strike. Once the attack is executed, Django rushes forwards with the Solar Sword pointing outwards, stabbing anyone in his path. With more sunlight, the blade shines brightly and does more damage. Up Special: Rising Sun. Django, surrounded in the power of the sun, leaps up into the air before beginning to fall back down. The sunlight stays around him for awhile, damaging anyone who touches it, but eventually disappears and leaves him helpless. With more sunlight, the shield stays for a slightly longer time. Down Special: Recharge. Django stops and raises the Gun Del Sol to the sky, causing it to absorb sunlight. The TRC meter near his character icon shows how much sunlight the weapon has, with larger amounts of sunlight giving Django’s specials a buff for a short time. Final Smash: Sol Trance. Django fuses with Otenko and becomes Sol Django, rushing at an enemy before enacting Sol Prominence, a move that delivers repeated kicks before using Sol Flare, spinning around in a circle before a final kick is delivered. A purely visual TRC meter sits in the corner, draining as the attack goes on before the two unfuse. | |
|
Name: Rayman Debut: Rayman (1995) The Limbless Wonder, after years of ALMOST making it, has finally entered the fray! Rayman’s entirely body is made up of projectiles, allowing him to have some of the longest ranged attacks in the game. He’s a rather tricky character to use, relying on odd projectiles and the player’s wits to survive whatever battles he’s a part of. |
Neutral Special: Wind-Up. Rayman winds up a limb and prepares to launch it, the limb coming back like a boomerang. If the L-stick is used when charging the attack, Rayman launches a different limb; just holding B uses his heads, flicking it to the side uses his torso, moving it up moves his head, and holding it down brings in his feet. Side Special: Lockjaw. Rayman equips a bear trap-like weapon around his fist, pulling said fist back before pushing the trap forward. The trap is attached to a chain and launches forward, latching onto an opponent and pulling Rayman forward if the weapon lands. If it doesn’t land, the trap retracts and Rayman groans slightly. Up Special: Propellor Hair. Rayman’s hair begins to spin around like helicopter blades, slowing him down in the air as he makes a slow descent. The blades themselves can damage opponents who deliberately get close to them, but it’s much more of a recovery rather than an attack. Down Special: Rabbid. Rayman grabs a Rabbid by the ears and pulls it out of the ground. The Rabbid itself is random; a screaming Rabbid runs up to opponents and clobbers them, a Rabbid with a plunger gun shoots said plunger and disappears, and a Peach Rabbid takes a selfie next to a nearby foe and stuns them for a brief period of time. Final Smash: Moskito’s Revenge. Rayman hops on Moskito, the large insect sucking up any nearby opponents and flying through the clouds. A cutscene then plays where Moskito shoots the opponents out of its nose, acting as a projectile as they slam against enemy forces and take high damage. The cutscene then ends as Rayman and the others return to the stage. | |
|
Name: Barbara Debut: Rayman Legends (2013) The princess of the forest and one of many sisters, Barbara makes her playable debut in the world of Super Smash Bros.! In Smash, she functions as a fusion of Rayman and Echidna, taking aspects from both of them to create a playstyle befitting of the warrior herself. As a character, she’s slower than Rayman with more power to boot. |
Neutral Special: Wind-Up. Barbara pulls back her axe and thrusts it forwards, the axe reaching its horizontal peak before zipping back to her. Unlike Rayman’s move, the axe deals much more damage than his limbs at the cost of speed, the attack coming out slower due to the bulk of the axe. Side Special: Axe Rush. Barbara rushes forwards, the blades of her axe in front of her as she does so. If she makes contact with a foe, she “swooshes” the axes in front of them and ends up with the axe behind her, leaving her open to other attacks. The move is functionally similar to Echidna’s with the added power of Barbara’s weapon. Up Special: Winged Helmet. Barbara’s small wings on her helmet start to flap, slowing her down in the air as she descends slowly. Unlike Rayman’s attack, Barbara’s variant doesn’t do damage against people who touch her, but in return, she’s able to go much faster and evade death at a much brisker pace. Down Special: Counter Swipe. Barbara raises her axe to her chest, preparing for an upcoming attack. If the attack hits her, she’ll thrust her axe behind her before sweeping it at the opponent, knocking them back as she stays still. Unlike Echidna’s same attack, the attack takes a little more time to come out in exchange for more damage. Final Smash: Medieval Dragon. Barbara hops upon the Medieval Dragon, flying into the background as the dragon begins to spew fire. Each fireball that hits the stage gets progressively bigger and bigger, eventually resulting in a large stream of fire cutting through the stage, burning anyone who touches it. After this, Barbara hops off and the dragon flies away. | |
|
Name: Meryl Debut: Oddity (202X) One of the main characters of the upcoming indie game Oddity, Meryl is a young girl from the town of La Folia, using her psychic abilities and her future sight to duke it out. While her moveset is based on pre-release information from Oddity, it’s also heavily influenced by characters from the Earthbound series, giving her a mix of projectile moves, a tether grab up special, and a Shulk-like counter to boot. |
Neutral Special: Heat VOX. Meryl unleashes a fire projectile from her hand, the fire quickly shooting out and doing minimal fire damage overall. If the first attack connects, however, she can quickly follow it up with a second blast, doing more fire damage. It’s rather easy to avoid, but can keep opponents locked in place if they aren’t careful. Side Special: Thunder VOX. While an up special for other Earthbound characters, Meryl shoots out a large ball of electricity from her open palm, the ball gaining speed as it travels. It only goes in a straight line and is fairly predictable, but does good damage at high percents and stun damage at low percents. Since they move slow at first, it’s also good for stage control. Up Special: Jump Whip. Meryl pulls out her jump rope out of seemingly thin air and lashes it at a 45 degree angle. If she catches onto a ledge, she’s pulled to safety almost immediately, kicking her legs to try and get back up. If she catches an opponent, however, she throws the jump rope down on the ground; while similar to Joker’s up special, it focuses on damage rather than pulling anyone close to her. Down Special: Future Sight. Meryl braces herself for an upcoming attack - if she’s hit in this state, she uses her psychic powers to lift the opponent high up into the air. This attack can be used to end an opponent at extremely high percents and punishes those who get reckless hard, but if Meryl fails to execute the attack, she takes greater damage than she would normally. Final Smash: The Gang. Meryl calls upon Travis, Floyd, and Leo to help her out in battle. Meryl locks the opponent in place with her cognitive powers before Floyd strikes them with a rake, Leo fires Beam VOX repeatedly, and Travis hits them over and over with a baseball bat. Meryl finishes the attack by having the gang flee before slamming her foe into the ground, resulting in massive damage. | |

|
Name: Thanos Debut: Invincible Iron Man #55 (1973) The Mad Titan, Thanos, has made his way into the world of Smash Bros., bringing infinite power with him. Thanos has the ability to rewind time via the Time Stone, allowing him to recover from most attacks...with a lot of cooldown to compensate for the sheer power of it. All of his attacks can catch a fighter off-guard, all with variations on unique side effects. |
Neutral Special: Reality Check. Thanos delivers a single punch that, due to the Reality Stone, has various random effects. One punch can poison a fighter while the other can trap them in a bubble, leaving them open to other attacks while ascending upwards. Side Special: Power of Earth. Thanos lifts chunks of dirt and rock out from behind him before launching them forwards. The attack can be titled at the cost of standing still for longer. Up Special: Travel Delays. Thanos disappears into thin air and reappears via the Space Stone's power, coming out from a blue portal. If a fighter tries to damage Thanos while the portal is active, the portal will force them to take damage. Down Special: Mad Titan's Strike. Thanos slams the Infinity Gauntlet onto the ground, creating purple shockwaves that spread out around him. The shockwaves toss opponents up into the air and leave them open to more attacks from Thanos. Final Smash: Infinite Power. Thanos, using the full might of the Infinity Gauntlet, leaps up in the air and pulls down Titan's moon from the background, creating fiery meteors that can hit fighters and the stage while dealing out massive damage. | |
|
Name: Robot Jones Debut: Whatever Happened to Robot Jones? (2002) Robot Electro Jones, a relatively obscure KX-8 model of robot, has finally made a major reappearance ever since his debut in 2002! In Smash, Robot Jones wields the Data Log Entry mechanic, a move which allows him to copy the stats of whatever fighter he’s duking it out with until he takes enough damage for the trick to wear off. Other than that, Jones is a technical fighter with a knack for non-traditional weapons. |
Neutral Special: Wonder Cube. Robot Jones grabs a Wonder Cube and begins to shuffle the parts around. The attack requires holding down the button and releasing at the right time, the cube being thrown and exploding into pieces upon contact. Holding down the button for too long will result in Jones going nuts over trying to solve the cube, taking a bit of damage. Side Special: Data Log Entry. Robot Jones scans an opponent from head to toe, the attack doing extremely minimal damage with a twist; scanning a foe allows Robot Jones to inherit their very same stats. Depending on the fighter, Jones can increase his speed, weight, jumping abilities, strength, and more. Up Special: Growth Spurt. Robot Jones extends his legs, making himself taller while propelling the rest of his body high up into the air. The legs return to normal after a short time. If an opponent is under Jones when his legs stretch, the move spikes them and sends them up into the air. Down Special: Hall Monitor. Robot Jones crouches, a bucket appearing on top of his head. The move is a counter; if an opponent hits Jones in this state, the bucket is flung in their direction, appearing on the ground as an item if it doesn’t hit anyone while dealing decent damage if it does hit. Final Smash: Help From My Friends! Robot Jones calls upon Socks, Cubey, and Mitch to attack whichever opponent he’s caught in the attack. All of them deliver various attacks and 80’s material to dish out real damage, Jones himself ending the attack with a laser blast aimed straight at his target and all four boys yelling “ZOMBIES!” as their target goes soaring. | |
|
Name: Mii Fighter Debut: Wii Sports (2006) The Mii Fighter has been completely retooled from it's last two appearances. Rather than a variety of different Mii types, you're able to choose from multiple different specials correlating to a specific form of attack. This means if you want to use a sword, your fists, an arm cannon, and a tennis racket all at once, you can. In addition, a new set of moves, dubbed the Mii Athlete set, has been introduced, giving Miis much more customizability. |
Neutral Special (Brawler): Fist Flurry. The Mii punches with both of their fists multiple times, finishing it off with a single uppercut. Neutral Special (Swordfighter): Blurring Blade. The Mii pulls it's sword back before unleashing into a flurry of strikes and stabs. Neutral Special (Gunner): Laser Blaze. If the B button is repeatedly tapped, the Mii fires off multiple blasts of energy in the direct they're facing. Neutral Special (Athlete): Lob Shot. The Mii chucks a tennis ball into the air and hits it downwards, the ball ricocheting off of walls and fighters. Side Special (Brawler): Burning Dropkick. The Mii lunges forward feet-first as their lower half catches fire. It can be charged by holding down the B button. Side Special (Swordfighter): Slash Launcher. The Mii charges up an attack before unleashing it, traveling across the stage with their sword forwards. Side Special (Gunner): Mii-ssile. The Mii fires off a small missile at opponents, heading straight towards whoever it's in front of. Side Special (Athlete): Baseball Bash. The Mii charges up a baseball bat and hits a ball at opponents, sending it in a straight line or upwards if it works. Up Special (Brawler): Piston Punch. The Mii punches in the air, propelling themselves upwards and damaging anyone in their way. Up Special (Swordfighter): Skyward Slash Dash. The Mii leaps into the air with a variety of sword slashes, leaping back and forth. Up Special (Gunner): Lunar Launch. The Mii shoots an explosive burst of energy below them and propels upwards, covering everything below them in smoke. Up Special (Athlete): Trample-ine. A trampoline appears under the Mii, allowing them to bounce up on it once before disappearing. Down Special (Brawler): Headache Maker. The Mii jumps into the air and slams back down fists-first, crushing any and all opponents beneath them. Down Special (Swordfighter): Reversal Slash. The Mii flips opponents around and can deflect projectiles along with them, defending himself. Down Special (Gunner): Bomb Drop. The Mii drops a small self-detonating bomb on the stage, going off a second or two after being dropped. Down Special (Athlete): Curling Stone. The Mii pushes a curling stone along the stage, sending it at a high speed before it slows down and disappears. Final Smash (Brawler): Omega Blitz. The Mii punches their opponent once before launching into a flurry of martial art attacks and finishing off with yet another punch, sending their opponents crashing into the ground. Final Smash (Swordfighter): Sword From The Heavens. The Mii sticks their sword up towards the sky, causing a larger sword made of light to come crashing down from above and demolish anyone in it's immediate path. Final Smash (Gunner): Full Blast. The Mii leaps up and fires a large beam of energy across the stage, obliterating everything in it's path before concentrating into a thinner beam, then sizzling out. Final Smash (Athlete): Volleybomb. The Mii jumps in the air, volleyball in hand, and hits it down onto the stage below with the strength of millions. The ball causes an explosion, damaging any players in the it's range. | |

|
Name: Koopalings Debut: Super Mario Bros. 3 (1988) The Koopalings have been upgraded from costumes to quite the unique newcomer. While some of them share moves with each other, not one shares the same physics, weight, or speed and can be swapped between easily via their neutral special. Each of them also have unique moves that they either claim as their own or share with a few others, giving each of them a unified yet different feel. They’re a seven-in-one combo deal! |
Neutral Special: Koopaling Swap. The Koopaling on stage laughs as a small menu appears above their heads. This menu contains the other six Koopalings and can be quickly shuffled through with the B button. Upon choosing a Koopaling, the current disappears into a smoke cloud and reappears as the selected one. Side Special Side Special Side Special Side Special Up Special Up Special Up Special Up Special Up Special Down Special Down Special Down Special Down Special Down Special Final Smash: Giga Koopalings. All seven Koopalings hop in a giant Koopa Clown Car before growing in size and appearance, resembling Giga Bowser somewhat. A single aiming reticle appears on stage and can be aimed anywhere, a timer set before it can’t be aimed anymore. Upon the B button being pressed, all seven Koopalings will perform one punch each, doing massive damage before they all revert back to their original forms. | |

|
Name: Dr. Coyle Debut: ARMS (2017) The director of the ARMS Laboratories and one of the most advanced fighters in the world, Dr. Coyle brings a villainous flair to the world of Smash! She’s a rather tricky character, wielding multiple methods of dodging attacks and one of the best air games in the entire roster. Her up special, like Jigglypuff’s, gives her an advantage in combat rather than sending her higher, giving her a third ARM that modifies plenty of her melee-based attacks! The latest ARMS fighter is sure to send you flying! |
Neutral Special: Lokjaw Strike. Dr. Coyle shoots out a Lokjaw ARM, the weapon launching itself a decently good distance away from her. If you press the B button again, the Lokjaw launches a fast fireball at the cost of not extending further; if the attack continues to go uninterrupted, the ARM keeps going until it's reached its maximum length, leaving Coyle open but doing more damage if it hits a foe. Side Special: Cell Shield. Dr. Coyle disappears and in her place is now a Cell enemy from ARMS; the Cell can only take hits, and when it does, it disappears only for Coyle to reappear with a strong strike. The move doesn’t work if you use it too early, however, as the Cell eventually disappears, forcing Coyle to reappear and take whatever hit it was going to take. Up Special: Extra ARM. Dr. Coyle laughs as a third ARM pops out from behind her; with this ARM, all of her jabs, grabs, throws, and other fist-based attack gains more power or is altered in their animations. However, a single hit from a foe can destroy that ARM, turning Dr. Coyle into a sort of glass cannon in this state. The attack is good to end off a fight, but leaves you vulnerable if you're too careless. Down Special: Phase Through. Dr. Coyle laughs as she shields herself from the next attack. Rather than doing a counter, Dr. Coyle turns completely transparent and lets the fighter fall through her, allowing them to follow it up with any attack they choose. If you miss the window, however, Dr. Coyle will not only remain vulnerable, but take more damage as a whole. Final Smash: Hedlok Rush. Dr. Coyle laughs as Hedlok falls upon her head, giving her six arms. Rushing forward, Coyle unleashes a series of rapid-fire punches as Hedlok lets out a mechanical cackle, ending the attack by grabbing her foe and delivering one last strong jab, sending them flying as Hedlok leaves her head. When she's trapped two foes, she ends the attack by slamming them on the ground which causes them to fly upwards instead. | |

 Debut: Persona 5 (2017) The cunning leader of the Phantom Thieves, Joker is a quick and nimble fighter that uses his trusty knife and pistol to show the corruption within adults. By using his down special, Rebel’s Guard, or just continuously fighting, Joker’s Rebellion Gauge fills up until he’s able to unleash his Persona, Arsene. Arsene disappears once the gauge runs out, but boosts all of Joker’s attacks and even gives him new special attacks, making Joker one hell of a fighter. |
Neutral Special (Normal): Gun. Joker fires from his fake pistol turned real firearm from a distance, firing off real bullets. You’re able to shoot once or fire up to three bullets at once via the repeated tapping of the B button. You’re able to shoot on the ground, forwards, backwards, in the air, and even dodge while shooting. Neutral Special (Arsene): Gun Special. Joker whips out his gun once more, and with Arsene by his side, is able to fire up to three bullets per shot. With the same mobility options as before, the sheer damage Joker is now able to do with at least up to nine bullets is astonishing and could send foes packing. Side Special (Normal): Eiha. Joker snaps his fingers and unleashes the move known as Eiha, a small flame falling towards the ground at a 45 degree angle. If it hits a foe, they don’t take much damage, but in return, plenty of chip damage is taken. If it hits the ground, nothing happens and the flame disappears. Side Special (Arsene): Egaion. Joker snaps his fingers and Arsene pushes out a larger flame that travels across the ground or even in the air. Unlike Eiha, the attack does tons more damage and even functions like a less time consuming PK Fire, still inflicting chip damage after the attack is complete. Up Special (Normal): Grappling Hook. Joker fires at grappling hook up in the air at an angle, making his normal recovery a tether-based one. On the ground, Joker is able to latch onto other opponents and pull them closer to him, making sure that no one is safe from the barrage of attacks Joker is able to dish out. Up Special (Arsene): Wings of Rebellion. Joker, with Arsene’s help, ditches the grappling hook in favor of gaining a temporary pair of black angel wings that shoot up upwards straight up into the air or at a 45 degree angle. While not doing any damage, the sheer height Joker gains from the attack makes him one threatening aerial foe. Down Special (Normal): Rebel’s Guard. Joker puts up his mask and prepares to take the full force of an attack or even combos. Unlike most counters, the attack doesn’t damage opponents and instead halves damage taken, the only way they take damage being when the attack ends. The main purpose of the attack is to fill up Joker’s Rebellion Gauge much faster, allowing Arsene to join the fray sooner. Down Special (Arsene + Melee): Tetrakarn. Joker and Arsene create a small shield around Joker that immediately nulls all melee attacks and sends his would-be assailant flying back into the sky. Other than that, this counter isn’t too special. Down Special (Arsene + Projectiles): Makarakarn. With Arsene’s help, Joker reflects any projectile that was launched his way back at its sender. What’s interesting is that the projectile moves faster on its return trip, making it more likely to hit the sender. Final Smash: All-Out Attack. Joker rushes towards an opponent, knocking them into a group attack between him and three random members of the Phantom Thieves. Whether it be Ryuji, Ann, Makoto, Yusuke, Futaba, Haru, Morgana, or even Goro, all of these thieves do their best to repeatedly attack their target, Joker ending his attack by tugging on his glove and essentially killing them. | |
| |
|
Name: Morgana Debut: Persona 5 (2017) The smallest and feistiest of the Phantom Thieves, Morgana joins the fight as the second DLC fighter overall and the second Persona character. Morgana keeps a lot of what Joker pioneered; the Rebellion Gauge, Rebel’s Guard, and even a similar move to Joker’s Gun. What is different is Morgana’s Persona, Zorro, who gives the not-cat benefits based on wind, increasing or amplifying all of Morgana’s other moves. |
Neutral Special (Normal): Slingshot. Morgana whips out a small slingshot out of nowhere and is able to fire off one large projectile in a straight line. The projectile is powerful but is easy to miss and can even be charged up. If it hits an opponent at full charge while shielding, it has a good chance of breaking their shields. Neutral Special (Zorro): Special Slingshot. Zorro increases the power of Morgana’s slingshot, increasing its size and firing rate. The projectiles are even stronger and can still be charged up, but are now larger and harder to avoid. The chance of a shield breaking increases tenfold when Special Slingshot is used, almost guaranteeing a broken shield. Side Special (Normal): Garu. Morgana launches a small burst of wind from his paws, the burst traveling in a straight line forwards. The attack doesn’t do too much damage, mainly serving as a way to keep opponents away from Morgana. If it doesn’t hit an opponent, it disappears, but if it does, a similar effect to Robin’s wind grab occurs. Side Special (Zorro): Magaru. Morgana, with the help of Zorro, summons a large burst of wind from between his paws. Unlike Garu, Magaru not only shoves foes away from Morgana, but doubles the damage done by the regular attack, making it a devastating projectile if used in the correct situation. It still disappears if it doesn’t hit anything. Up Special (Normal): Lucky Punch. Morgana jumps in the air, his fist raised in a similar style to Mario and Luigi’s up specials or even the Belmonts. Morgana is able to rise higher, but the real fun comes in when he hits an opponent from below. Upon hitting them, Morgana rises even higher than usual, koban coins coming from the impact. Up Special (Zorro): Miracle Punch. Zorro is able to shoot Morgana further into the air by default, using its Wind abilities to do so. When coming into contact with a foe, Morgana’s attack is still the same, but the damage it does is slightly increased, which means foes will be launched higher. It’s all about vertical movement with Zorro. Down Special (Normal): Rebel’s Guard. Morgana raises his sword to the sky, now able to take full attacks and combos without flinching. Like Joker’s same move, the attack halves all damage taken from any attack, but is also able to reflect projectiles at the cost of Morgana’s Rebellion Gauge filling slightly slower. Down Special (Zorro): Salvation. Morgana and Zorro stand in place as Zorro casts Salvation, healing a good chunk of damage taken by Morgana. While incredibly useful and powerful, the move requires anything left in the Rebellion Gauge to use and forces Morgana to stand still; as such, using it when the time is right is key to victory. Final Smash: All-Out Attack. Morgana enters his bus form and slams right into any opponent in his path, beginning a cutscene where, with the help of Joker, Ryuji, Anne, Futaba, Makoto, Yusuke, Haru, or Goro, he enacts his All-Out Attack. The Phantom Thieves repeatedly strike their targets, ending with Morgana sitting down in a swivel chair holding a cigar before yelling “mission completed!,” ending the attack. | |

 Debut: Dragon Quest (1986) Returning from Ultimate, the Dragon Warrior is overall the same fighter despite their rebranding. Their moveset revolves an MP meter than drains with the use of their special attacks, each magic attack slowly or rapidly depleting it. This ties into the Dragon Warrior’s command menu, which allows the Dragon Warrior to use up to eighteen different down specials from a randomly selected list of four, each being incredibly varied from one another. |
Neutral Special: Frizz. The Dragon Warrior launches a single fireball towards an enemy that travels in a straight line. When charged slightly, it becomes Frizzle, a much larger and more powerful fireball, and when charged for a while, it becomes Kafrizz, an even stronger fireball that traps foes in a fiery blast for a short time. The charge is able to be stored and used later. Side Special: Zap The Dragon Warrior thrusts their sword forwards, a bolt of electricity jutting outwards and attacking foes. When held for a little while longer, it becomes Zapple, extending the electricity out further, and when held for the longest time possible, it becomes Kazap, allowing the Dragon Warrior to electrify opponents with a quick spin on their blade. Up Special: Woosh. The Dragon Warrior calls upon a small tornado to blow them upwards into the air, giving them extra air time. Charging it up longer results in Swoosh, giving the Dragon Warrior more air, while charging it for the longest amount of time results in Kaswoosh, thrusting the Dragon Warrior upwards as two tornadoes appear underneath them. All of these spells can do damage to foes via the tornadoes. Down Special: Command Selection. The Dragon Warrior thinks as a small menu appears near their character portrait. Said menu can contain four random spells at a time, eighteen spells being present in total. The moves the menu can pull from are:
Final Smash: Gigaslash. The Dragon Warrior slashes their sword upwards, electricity covering the blade as they hit a foe. A cutscene then starts where we see the heroes from Dragon Quest II, V, VI, VII, and X alongside the Dragon Warrior’s unused costumes. All of them put their weapons together and cast a spell onto the Dragon Warrior’s sword, the foes caught in the attack taking massive damage. | |

Name: Slime Debut: Dragon Quest (1986) The most iconic Dragon Quest enemy is more than just a common mook! Slime takes aspects from both mainline and spinoff titles in the series, but its main feature is that it can switch between different members of the Slime family. These alternate forms have their own advantages and disadvantages while also keeping Slime’s core moveset intact, essentially giving Slime six different playstyles overall. |
Neutral Special: Slime Toss. Slime, upon the press of the B button, causes a barrel to appear above his head. The barrel doesn’t slow Slime down and, with another press, is able to throw the barrel across the stage. The barrel itself can be dropped and left in place like an item and doesn’t affect the other Slime variants outside of animations; for example, the Icicle Slime balances the barrel on its icy shell. Side Special: Slime Stretch. Slime plants himself on the ground and begins to stretch back like a slingshot. Upon releasing the input, Slime launches himself forward in a small arc, hitting like a truck if he immediately touches a foe. The different Slimes have unique twists to the attack; the Healslime uses their tentacles, the King Slime doesn’t go as far but does more damage, Metal Slime moves faster but does less damage, etc.. Up Special: Slime Stack. Slime calls upon a series of multicolored Slimes to spawn underneath them, propelling Slime upwards as the stack disappears. When used on the ground, the stack is able to topple with an extra input, crushing and potentially burying opponents. Different Slimes have different properties; King Slime can divebomb off the stack, Angel Slime can lift herself off of the stack, etc.. Down Special: Slimification. A small menu appears above the Slime containing five different Slimes. Like Shulk’s Monado Arts, Slime is able to cycle through them with the menu open or by quickly cycling through them, but when changing into another Slime, the current one is surrounded by a cloud of dust before gaining their new form. There’s six Slime forms, those being:
Final Smash: Schleiman the Magnificent. Slime uses an instrument known as the Warrior Flute to call upon a tank known the Schleiman Tank, a weapon used by Rocket in Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime. The tank appears in the background before immediately covering the stage in rocks that explode upon contact before firing a single missile at the stage, covering it in an even bigger explosion before the tank disappears. | |

 Debut: Diddy Kong Racing (1997) The iconic bear and bird duo of Rareware fame return once more! Banjo & Kazooie function like one character rather than two, both relying on each other to get the job done. While similar to their Ultimate counterpart, the two have upgrades to all of their moves to give them extra utility and less weaknesses, the most notable of these being collect-a-thon aspects in their side special. However, they’re still the same lovable team you all know! |
Neutral Special: Breegull Blaster. Banjo pulls Kazooie out of the backpack and fires a single egg in the direction he’s facing out of her mouth. If the B button is held down, Banjo rapidly fires eggs and can’t stop until the B button is released. In this state, Banjo can jump and walk, but can’t do anything else until the attack is stopped. The eggs now fire much faster than in Ultimate and come with extra damage. Side Special: Wonderwing. Banjo & Kazooie has up to five uses of the Wonderwing ability, a forward dash that barrels through foes, doing massive damage and giving the duo super armor. Once all feathers are used, Banjo & Kazooie must either be K.O.’d or must collect the golden feathers that randomly appear around the battlefield. These feathers can only be picked up by the duo and force them to constantly be on the move. Up Special: Shock Spring Jump. A Shock Spring pad appears underneath Kazooie as she comes out of Banjo’s backpack and shoots both up into the air. If used in the air, the pad falls and can do slight damage to whoever it touches, not being good enough to spike but good enough to hurt. A new addition is that with the apex of their ascent, the duo can do damage to anyone above them, but lose the property while falling. Down Special: Rear Egg. Banjo laws low as Kazooie points her rear out of the backpack, shooting out a grenade-like egg onto the ground. The egg lands behind Banjo, forcing him to get up and grab it. In addition, it takes much longer to explode than it did in Ultimate, making it less of a hassle to use overall. The grenade explodes after enough time has passed or once it has been thrown. Final Smash: The Mighty Jinjonator. Banjo & Kazooie summon the statue of the Mighty Jinjonator from the ground, hitting anyone beneath it. Five Jinjo’s go into the statue and reawaken the mighty being, all Jinjos rapidly striking an opponent over and over again. The Final Smash ends when all strike at once, sending the opponent tumbling to the ground as a boulder covers them (only if its a K.O.) and ends the attack. | |

|
Debut: Fatal Fury: King of Fighters (1991) Terry Bogard, also known as the Hungry Wolf, is a strong American fighter who aimed to take down Geese Howard after the death of his father. Terry plays the exact same as he did in Ultimate, being a tall heavyweight with an alright air game but a killer ground game. His seven special moves all have stronger variants and command inputs, making Terry feel like he was plucked straight out of the Fatal Fury games. |
Neutral Special: Power Wave. Terry yells “POWUH WAVE!” before launching an energy wave that travels across the stage. When the B button is held down longer, the attack’s strength, size, and speed increase, making it even deadlier for smaller fighters. In the air, this move creates a stationary burst of energy in front of Terry that can be held down just like its mobile variant. Side Special (Forwards): Burn Knuckle. When the side special is angled forwards, Terry launches forward, his fist covered in blue fire as he yells “BURN KNUCKLE!”. The move has a special input that increases its overall strength and gives the fire a slightly greener tint. It can also be held the other moves, giving it a separate stronger variant. Side Special (Backwards): Crack Shoot. When the side special is angled backwards, Terry performs a flying axe kick while yelling “CRACKSHU!”. The attack has its own input that allows for it to have increased knockback and strength. While it has no held variant, the attack is good for catching players off-guard and leading into other attacks. Up Special: Rising Tackle. Terry leaps up into the air with his legs facing the sky, yelling out “RISING TACKUH!” as he spins around. While it doesn’t get him that far up, the move is good for doing damage to those right above you. If Terry is crouching for a short while and then performs the attack, he goes higher, does more damage, and is invincible for most of the attack. It still leaves him wide open, however. Down Special: Power Dunk. Terry leaps up into the air and readies his fist before slamming it down onto the nearest foe with an energy punch. The move has a special input that has the chance to perform a Meteor Smash if it lands while also providing more invincibility frames and more damage done. If Terry does this move off of the stage, coming back from it can be a nightmare. Input Special 1: Power Geyser. When Terry is at over 100%, Terry can execute ↓ ↙ ← ↙ → + A/B or ↓ ← ↓ → +A/B to activate Power Geyser, a move that shoots a burst of energy out of the ground. The burst has three individual hitboxes that deal more damage the closer the target is to the center and, at high percents, can K.O. them from sheer force alone. Input Special 2: Buster Wolf. When Terry is at over 100%, Terry can execute ↓ ↘ → ↓ ↘ → + A/B or ↓ → ↓ → + A/B to activate Buster Wolf, a move where Terry dashes forwards and, if he connects with an opponent, sends out an explosion of energy from his fist. The explosion can easily K.O. foes at high percents and does more damage on the explosion. Final Smash: Triple Wolf. Terry yells out “Are you okay?” before striking the ground three times with three giant Power Geysers. If an opponent is caught in these geysers, Terry will then perform Power Dunk and send his opponents into the ground before yelling “Here’s a big one...BUSTAAAAH WAHLF!!” and unleashing Max Buster Wolf, ending the attack with a seriously damaging strike to the chest. | |

|
Name: Cinder Debut: Killer Instinct (1994) Ultratech’s very own plasma-covered warrior joins the fray alongside Spinal, bringing his wisecracking personality along with him. Cinder’s main gimmick is his Burnout State, a form that Cinder takes if he’s performed enough attacks but causes him to take more damage upon being hit. Burnout State boosts his special and smash attacks, giving a character with a strong aerial and speed game even more tools at his disposal. |
Neutral Special: Inferno. Cinder puts his palms together and shoots out a small stream of flame, doing decent damage at the start before going into chip damage. The attack itself can be made stronger by charging it up over a few seconds. When in Burnout State, Inferno has much better range and can be slightly angled, but gives Cinder a few extra frames when the attack ends. Side Special: Trailblazer. Cinder launches forwards in a few frames, doing more damage if he hits at the peak of his speed. The attack is able to angled with the use of special inputs and can be compared to Bayonetta’s side special. In Burnout State, this attack does minimal burn damage and can still be angled, but Cinder can now become dizzy if he’s struck at his top speed, instantly ending his momentum. Up Special: Fireflash. Cinder performs a kick that, if it connects with a target, hurls them up into the air above Cinder. This is one of the easiest ways Cinder can start a combo, acting as a unique sort of throw. When in Burnout State, Fireflash creates a thin pillar of flame next to Cinder that can easily be dodged out of but does decent damage to those in the air. If Cinder misses the initial kick, he’ll be left open for a few extra frames. Down Special: Pyrobomb. Cinder tosses a Pyrobomb onto a foe, the bomb detonating upon impact with the floor or after a few seconds on an opponent. Cinder can control the arc of the bomb by holding the down special for short or longer periods of time, although the speed stays the same. In Burnout State, the bomb is bigger and does more damage, but causes Cinder to use more frames to throw it. Final Smash: Ultra Combo. Cinder enters his Final Smash state before Trailblazing into an opponent, enacting his Final Smash. It’s a flurry of hits, kicks, and strikes as Cinder throws Pyrobombs onto his foes. Cinder delivers a final Fireflash before all hell breaks loose, setting the opponent aflame before the attack ends. Upon the attack ending, the Killer Instinct announcer briefly yells “GODLIKE!” as the fight resumes. | |

Name: Ruby Heart Debut: Marvel VS Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes (2001) A French pirate who seeks to stock up on mystical and rare artifacts, Ruby Heart has finally reemerged once more and plans to usher in a new age of fighters. Ruby attacks with some of the many treasures she’s acquired over the years, including ancient tomes, an anchor that works like a grappling hook, strange energy that evokes fire, and even a haunted treasure. Ruby is a tricky foe to face with plenty of pirate tricks up her sleeves. |
Neutral Special: Sublimation. Ruby Heart throws a brown book onto the ground and can leave it there for anyone to walk over. Whenever she sees fit, Ruby can activate the book’s powers with the press of the B button and shoot up a geyser of highly damaging water. The book is able to be picked up like an item and, in this state, can’t be opened, making timing key to executing this move correctly. Side Special: Rafale Cannon. Ruby Heart summons an anchor and chain and throws it out in front of her, the range being similar to a Belmont’s whip. If she catches an opponent, she pulls them towards her before launching them out of a cannon at a 45 degree angle. In the air, using this special makes Ruby launch the anchor towards the nearest ledge; however, if it misses, the anchor pulls Ruby downwards to her demise. Up Special: Schwarzaile. Ruby Heart surrounds herself in energy and becomes a fireball, launching into the air. The attack can be angled in eight different ways and does massive damage if an opponent touches it, but doesn’t go too far and can leave Ruby stranded in the air if she doesn’t use it right. The attack’s course can be corrected once, but it lasts a shorter amount of time if done so. Down Special: Fantôme. Ruby Heart summons a treasure chest and drops it onto the ground, the chest opening to reveal one green ghoul. The ghost travels in a straight line and must come into contact with a foe in a few frames. If this quota is met, the ghost latches onto the nearest foe and begins to take damage away from Ruby and exchange it onto their prey, keeping Ruby’s chances of fighting high. Final Smash: Triple Hyper Combo. Ruby stays motionless as she calls upon SonSon and Amingo by her side, the three teaming up to do massive damage. Ruby summons her ship, the Partenaire, which stabs a foe and launches a series of cannonballs, Amingo uses Boon of the Sun to ram a giant vine straight into their target, and SonSon turns into an Oozaru, smashing her target with her fists and spewing fire. | |
| |
|
Name: Morrigan Debut: Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors (1994) Heir to the Makai throne and daughter of Belial, Morrigan Aensland escapes her duties once more and enters the world of Smash Bros.! Morrigan is a speedy powerhouse that attacks with both projectiles and up-close attacks; she’s the master of trickery and shows off her playful attitude in all of her moves. Her Final Smash even incorporates three strong moves in one, creating the ultimate version of Capcom’s succubus. |
Neutral Special: Soul Fist. Morrigan thrusts her arm forward and launches a small fireball in the shape of a bat forwards. While it doesn’t move fast, it moves across the stage longer than other projectiles. This allows for Morrigan to leave the fireball in the air and use it to set up other attacks, adding extra damage to an attack. It’s easy to avoid, but cross it’s path and you’re toast. Side Special: Cryptic Needle. Morrigan shoves her arm forwards as it becomes a large needle, striking through opponents. The move takes time to execute and doesn’t do much damage, but it can go through multiple opponents and paralyzes them if a sweetspot is hit. While its a move that needs time to reach its full potential, the payoff is satisfying and gives Morrigan an edge in battle. Up Special: Shadow Blade. Morrigan dashes forwards slightly before leaping up into the air as her arm turns into a blade. If she makes contact with an opponent, Morrigan is propelled upwards further than she would without touching anyone. The move itself is prone to leaving Morrigan helpless in the air, but if used at the right time, it can be a deadly end to the battle. Down Special: Astral Vision. Morrigan splits herself into two and functions like the Ice Climbers for a few seconds. The clone itself is easy to kill and doesn’t last long on its own, but can easily rack up damage if used in the right place at the right time. The clone has all of Morrigan’s moves except the down special and the Final Smash; in fact, Morrigan herself can’t use this attack for 10 seconds upon its initial conclusion. Final Smash: Finishing Shower. Morrigan uses Valkyrie Turn and launches into an opponent; once the attack starts, Morrigan clones herself and attacks her prey on both sides with both clones, ending the attack with each Morrigan using Finishing Shower. As bullets are sprayed onto her target, the succubus laughs before a K.O. in the style of Darkstalkers appears in front of the fighter, ending the Final Smash. | |
| |
|
Name: Lilith Debut: Darkstalkers 3 (1997) The other half of Morrigan’s soul, Lilith joins the fray as Morrigan’s Echo Fighter! Lilith loses some of Morrigan’s power for even more speed and two new attacks. Her side special, Merry Turn, is fast and hard-hitting with some downsides while her Final Smash, Gloomy Puppet Show, gives her foes the chance to fight back against her...somewhat. If you’re looking for a more up-close and faster Morrigan, Lilith is your best bet! |
Neutral Special: Soul Flash. Lilith thrusts her arm forward and launches a small fireball in the shape of a bat forwards. The fireball moves faster than Morrigan’s and does more damage at the cost of size; it’s easier to avoid and harder to lead into, but does more damage if it does hit. It’s best to use this closer to a foe in order to deal even more damage than usual. Side Special: Merry Turn. Lilith’s wings turn into blades as she spins around like a ballerina in the air, launching herself forwards but leaving herself open at the end of the attack. Besides the Final Smash, this is Lilith’s sole original move, replacing Morrigan’s Cryptic Needle. It hits fast and hard, but can easily be taken advantage of if not used correctly; it’s important to use it in moderation. Up Special: Shining Blade. Lilith dashes forwards slightly before leaping up into the air as her wings turns into a singular blade. This move has the same upsides and downsides as Morrigan’s base moves right down to leaving Lilith helpless if she misses; however, since Lilith is faster and lighter, the attack doesn’t push her up into the air as much with the pro of triggering much faster than Morrigan’s. Down Special: Luminous Illusion. Lilith splits herself into two and functions like the Ice Climbers for a few seconds. All the upsides and downsides of Morrigan’s moveset are kept along with Lilith’s speed and agility; however, the clone is even easier to kill than Morrigan’s at the cost of reduced waiting time, now down to 8 seconds instead of 10. It’s important to use the clone well instead of just throwing her into the fray all willy-nilly. Final Smash: Gloomy Puppet Show. Lilith dashes into an opponent, causing a red curtain to fall in front of the stage before revealed Lilith in her bunny outfit and her foe in a top hat on a small stage. Lilith names different button inputs for her foes to follow; the more correct inputs they make, the less damage they’ll take. Get all inputs wrong and Lilith instantly K.O.’s her foe, ending the Final Smash with a bang. | |

|
Name: Rugal Bernstein Debut: The King of Fighters ‘94 An influential cartel leader and one of the most difficult bosses in gaming history, Rugal Bernstein joins from the King of Fighters universe! Rugal, unlike Terry and Rock, has no second side special; he’s a bruiser with tons of mean tricks up his sleeves. He feels as if he’s a playable boss, coming with all the tricks and flaws of that trope. In addition, he contains command inputs and powered up versions of his moves like the other two SNK fighters. |
Neutral Special: Repuuken. Rugal fires a blast of purple energy from his hand, aiming it at the ground. The attack moves along the ground for a short time and functions more like Power Wave than Rock’s version. Like the other SNK fighters, Rugal’s special inputs allow for this move to become even stronger, moving faster and becoming stronger while gaining no extra height. Side Special: Kaiser Wave. Rugal leans backwards with his arms outstretched, yelling “KAISER…” before unleashing a large ball of energy with an extra “WAVE!!” to go with it. The attack is able to be charged, although it would leave Rugal standing wide open for a long period of time. The special input allows for the ball to come out faster and hit slightly harder, making it decent for starting combos. Up Special: Genocide Cutter. Rugal kicks up in the air, using his iconic Genocide Cutter attack as his leg spins around. The attack does more damage at the foot than at the leg, and with a special input, can kick up to three times before Rugal is in a helpless state. The attack isn’t the best for aerial recovery, but if it connects with an opponent, it can give Rugal plenty of options. Down Special: Dark Barrier. Rugal creates a small green barrier in front of his torso, acting as a reflector rather than a counter. The attack reflects most projectiles, but cannot absorb the force of something like Pac-Man’s fast fire hydrant or a reflected Blunderbuss ball. When the special input is used, the barrier will be slightly taller and have a bit more resistance overall. Input Special 1: Gigatech Pressure. When Rugal is at over 100%, Rugal can execute ↓ ↘ → ↓ ↙ ←+ A/B or ↓ → ↓ ← + A/B to activate Gigatech Pressure. Rugal crouches and charges his palm for a bit before rushing forwards and grabbing his prey. Unlike his versions from the main games, Rugal simply slams his opponent on the ground rather than throwing them across the battlefield. Rugal’s startup animation leaves him wide open, however. Input Special 2: Dead End Screamer. When Rugal is at over 100%, Rugal can execute ↓ ↘ → ↓ ↘ → + A/B or ↓ → ↓ → + A/B to activate Dead End Screamer; Rugal leaps into the air and, if he makes contact with a foe, pins them to the ground and begins to spin around. This move doesn’t usually K.O. and never buries, but does good damage nonetheless. Final Smash: G.END. Rugal grabs his opponent by the chest and lifts them up above his head. In order for the attack to be executed, Rugal must be near his target. Upon being lifted up, Rugal unleashes a pillar of dark red energy that does massive damage, sending foes into a star K.O. if their percent is high enough. If Rugal uses this attack when no opponent is nearby, he’ll simply grab the air and return back to idle pose. | |
| |
|
Name: Spinel Debut: Steven Universe: The Movie (2019) Your new best friend makes her way into Smash as the third fourth-party character! Spinel’s gimmick is that she essentially has two unique movesets: one that gives off the vibes of a grappler and the other than gives her a style similar to a swordfighter. Swapping between the two is as easy as using her down special, Gem Rejuvenator, with each providing unique benefits and downsides the other doesn’t have. |
Neutral Special (Body): Elastic Punch. Spinel pulls her fist back as it slowly gets larger the longer the B button is held. The power of the move increases in this time, but gives Spinel a longer cooldown whether she misses or not. The fist can be angled around Spinel in eight directions, thrusting Spinel backwards, upwards, left, or right slightly depending on where she launches her fist. Neutral Special (Scythe): Pink Reaper. Spinel pulls back her Rejuvenator as she prepares to spin around with it. Upon the B button being released, Spinel spins around up to three times, not moving horizontally while making her general area a hazard. While this attack does less damage to shields, getting hit while shielding three times at once can break it and lead to your demise if you aren’t careful. Side Special (Body): Twister Dash. Spinel begins to twist her arms and legs around her before launching into a tornado-like formation. The longer the B button is held, the faster and stronger she’ll be with more cooldown. She moves forward slightly no matter what and each fist does individual hits. If you hit the B button at the perfect time, Spinel will perform an uppercut that can be shielded but ends the attack in style. Side Special (Scythe): Rejuvenation Slash. Spinel performs a single strike with her Rejuvenator. It doesn’t do much damage and leaves a light poison effect on whoever it hits, but it does massive damage to shields almost on the level of Marth’s Shield Breaker. The attack requires some build-up, but requires her opponent to constantly be on the move if they want to survive. Up Special (Body): Spring Hop. Spinel’s arm becomes longer and coils into a spring-like shape, thrusting her upwards in an arc formation. While similar to other up specials, Spinel’s variation has the chance to spike anyone below her and, like her other body moves, can be held down for more strength at the cost of cooldown. The longer she’s in the air, the more open she is, however. Up Special (Scythe): Scythe Toss. Spinel grips onto her Rejuvenator as she extends her arm into the air. If the attack is successful, the scythe can land in an opponent or on a ledge, causing Spinel to pull herself closer. If it misses, however, Spinel will either be left helpless or fall to her doom off-stage. While still good at breaking shields, it’s better for getting Spinel out of tough situations more than anything. Down Special: Gem Rejuvenator. Spinel reaches into her gem and pulls out her signature weapon, the Gem Rejuvenator, a weapon that takes on the appearance of a scythe. With this move, Spinel’s entire kit outside of her down special and Final Smash are altered, giving her the skillset similar to that of a sword user. The scythe can be stored back in her gem which gives her back the old moveset. Final Smash: Diamond Injector. Spinel dashes into a foe and begins a cinematic; her opponent lands on Beach City before Spinel’s Injector crashes down right on top of them, releasing a wave of Bio-Poison that completely decimates them. Spinel blows from a horn made for her finger, causing the injector to release even more poison, wiping out the beach before the cinematic ends. | |

 Green Hill Zone consists of a single half-pipe shaped piece of land that fighters duel upon. The ground between certain sections can be destroyed by multiple hits with the addition of spinning checkpoint poles that can be used to damage opponents. In the background is a large loop with some familiar Sonic characters running through it, such as Tails, Shadow, and Silver.

The Drill Arm can be used in two ways. One is close-quarters physical attacks, while the other involves launching the drill off at an opponent and then throwing the handle in front of you in a straight path. |

Assist Trophies[]
Assist Trophies can be spawned by activating an Assist Capsule when it drops down on the stage you're fighting on. A majority of these assistants can be K.O.'d with only a select few not being able to be. All Assist Trophies are ordered by their appearance in the Smash Bros. series, spanning from Brawl to Swansong.
|
| |
|---|---|
|
Hammer Bro. moves back and forth, jumping up and tossing hammers left or right that go in arc formations. The hammers do a lot of damage to whoever they hit, but have no effect if they land on the ground. |
|
Lakitu drops Spinies all over the stage, which proceeded to walk around and interfere with battles. The Spinies can be knocked back and retreat into their shells at the risk of the attack forcing the fighter to take damage. |
|
Waluigi, wielding a tennis racket, slams an enemy into the ground with his foot and repeatedly smashes them over the head with his tennis racket. He has a fifty percent chance of looking like his regular appearance or his Mario Tennis Aces garb. |
|
Tingle appears and unleashes a cluster of balloons, healing items, hammer items, or literal nothingness. After that, he proceeds to put his balloon back and fly off into the sunset. He even yells "kooloo-limpah" as he flies away. |
|
The Metroid will seek out any fighter and latch onto their head multiple times, forcing them to take chip damage. The fighter is nearly immobile for the duration of the attack with only small movements being able to be pulled off. |
|
Knuckle Joe runs towards a random opponent and delivers jabs, punches, and kicks to them in rapid succession. He walks in sidestep motions, delivering quick uppercuts and hits when he's right near an opponent. |
|
Andross pops into the background and starts spitting out polygons that can damage opponents at the screen, all flying in different directions. He's still using his rather iconic design from the original game. |
|
Jeff Andonuts appears slightly behind everyone else, setting up a group of five bottle rockets that launch into the air and follow opponents. Each rocket doesn't explode until they've hit their desired target or something else in the way. |
|
Samurai Goroh, using his design from F-Zero GX, runs around the stage while swinging around his katana wildly. He chases after any opponent he pleases, jumping and maneuvering around the arena just to try and get a few hits in on his target. |
|
Lyn appears and crouches down, pulling out her sword and facing an enemy. She then lunges towards them, sending the target flying with a slice of her sword. The attack can be blocked by the target, albeit with frame-perfect timing. |
|
Kat & Ana, wielding their katanas, float high up in the air dart around in an X-shaped pattern. Any foe caught in their path will be thrown around in the air if more than one of the girls hit them, sending them flying across the stage before the two high-five and disappear. |
|
Mr. Resetti pops out of the ground and starts to ramble on about the fighters duking it out on the stage. He stays around the longest out of any Assist Trophy, rambling on about a random topic and not even attacking before disappearing. |
|
Barbara the Bat appears and starts to jam out on her electric guitar. She hops all around the stage, striking different chords on the guitar and creating musical shockwaves that damage whoever approaches them. |
|
The Devil doesn't physically attack his opponents. Rather, he moves the camera around, making it harder for all fighters to see where they are and what they're doing. It can scroll to the left, right, up, or down. |
|
Dr. Wright hops down from out of nowhere and moves his arms upwards. All of the sudden, a large cartoonish building pops up from out of nowhere right next to him, sending whoever was near or under it flying up in the air. |
|
Multiple different Excitebikers appear, all varied in coloration. They ride off to a side on the stage, trying to take whoevers in their way with them. They do damage, but are mostly a hazard that affects how a fighter maneuvers the stage. |
|
The Helirin rotates around the point it spawned in, the two "wings" on the sides spinning with it. When sideways, they can act as extra platforms, but act as walls when facing upwards. If a fighter is stuck under it's wings, they'll take damage. |
|
These pixelated soldiers take on their appearance from Advance Wars. They slowly move across the stage, firing bullets and cannonballs in the direction they're facing before walking off the stage to their (supposed) demise. |
|
Jill, inside of her drilling machine, drives around the stage preparing to hit opponents. She can stop and turn mid-drive, damaging foes harder if they touch her during that period. |
|
The Nintendog, in the form of a border collie puppy, appears and starts playfully jumping in front of the screen. It eventually jumps down after a whistle is heard, leaving the battlefield. It just wants to be friends! |
|
Ray MK III will dart around the stage from above, going back and forth and shooting energy blasts and missiles at will. The missiles are slower than the energy blasts, but deal much more damage. |
|
Saki drops down onto the stage, dashing around and hitting nearby foes with his Canon Gun. The gun itself can be used as a gun and a sword-like device, with Saki being able to switch between both styles at will. |
|
Starfy is easily one of the most endearing yet weak Assist Trophies. He skips around playfully, spinning around and bouncing fighters back and forth with ease at the cost of being able to be K.O.'d easily due to his light weight. |
|
Gray Fox runs around the stage, adapting to the layout and striking opponents with his sword. The sword can reflect any and all projectiles fired at him, making him a hard Assist Trophy to completely take out. |
|
Shadow, holding the green Chaos Emerald, enacts Chaos Control, slowing every fighter besides his summoner. While he does nothing himself, this attacks leaves others open to his moves, allowing for multiple attacks to be used on a single fighter. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Mother Brain will prepare to aim a lazer at a random opponent and, once charged, will fire off for a few seconds. The glass surrounding her can be cracked and shattered, exposing her to the outside and making her vulnerable. |
|
Nightmare appears in the background and turns the entire screen black, leaving the fighters in complete darkness. The effects of this can be turned off earlier in Nightmare takes enough damage to his face, which is also visible in the void. |
|
The Starman stands still and shoots single lightning blasts out of his visor before teleporting away to another point on the stage. Like others, he can be knocked off of the stage, but also has the "SMAAASH!" effect from Earthbound. |
|
Magnus appears and jumps around the stage with his sword, smashing any enemy who stands in his way. He leaps around the stage, slamming his sword down on those who are unlucky enough to be in range of his weapon. |
|
Phosphora floats above the stage, laughing while shooting large pulsating balls of electricity. The balls can move in any direction, darting straight towards an opponent's location and paralyzing them upon contact. |
|
Riki appears and can boost or lower the stats of anyone on the field by using different Arts, even the one who summoned him. He can use Arts like Bedtime, Yoink!, Happy Happy, and Freezinate, all of them having different effects. |
|
Color TV-Game 15 appears and proceeds to play a game of Pong. The "ball" gives whoever touches large amounts of damage, with the "paddles" bouncing it all around the stage. Whenever a ball goes past one of the paddles, their score increases. |
|
Dr. Kawashima, the floating head, appears and flies offscreen before the background becomes a white grid. Numbers fly around the screen, becoming bigger numbers if they touch each other and exploding into a fiery blaze. |
|
The Sablé Prince uses his unique shapeshifting abilities to turn into a frog or a snake, both of which lunge at nearby fighters and proceed to vigorously attack them, complete with a cartoonish dust cloud surrounding them. |
|
The Sheriff hobbles around in the fire, firing pixelated bullets at whoever he sees fit. The bullets deal massive knockback and damage, with the sheriff himself not stopping his barrage for a good while. as he walks around in the air. |
|
Elec Man appears and proceeds to move and act like his original boss fight. He runs around the stage and unleashes a blast of lightning in a cross-shaped pattern that goes in three different directions, those being a straight path, up, or down. |
|
Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde appear and hover around the stage in their specific patterns, harming anyone who touches them. As time goes on, they start moving faster before disappearing from the fight shortly after. |
|
| |
|
Coming from Mario Paint, flies go all across the screen as a hand wielding a flyswatter flies across the screen, destroying all flies it can find. The impact of the flyswatter deals damage to any fighter it touches. |
|
Thwomp hovers above a single point on the stage, sitting idle. If a fighter walks under it, it immediately slams down upon them and crushes them, burying them into the ground before rising back up to repeat the process. |
|
Klaptrap wanders back and forth around the stage, quickly pacing back and forth until it spots a target. It then lunges at them, chomping and biting at them until it eventually gets tired of doing so and disappears. |

Bosses[]
There are multiple bosses within Super Smash Bros. Swansong, whether they appear on stages or fighter's One Smashing Career mode. All of them can be fought in Boss Rush...if you're brave enough to do so.

Poké Ball Pokémon[]
Once a Poké Ball appears on the battlefield, a fighter is able to pick it up and open it, bringing out one of over 50 different Pokémon. These different creatures span across all seven generations of the series, starting with iconic Pokémon like Venusaur and Clefairy before getting to new runner-ups like Bewear and Togedemaru. They function like Assist Trophies, popping up on stage and performing a specific action that helps the summoner and hinders opponents.
In addition, the Master Ball serves the same function as the Poké Ball, but only summons powerful legendary Pokémon like Giratina and Mew.
Below are all of the Pokémon in the game, going in the order of their original PokéDex numbers. All new Pokémon are labeled with a 
icon next to their name, whereas returning ones have no icon associated with them.
| 003: Venusaur | Venusaur slams down upon the stage, roaring before spreading poisonous pollen upon the stage. The initial slam causes an earthquake akin to the POW Block item, launching fighters. |
| 009: Blastoise | Blastoise stands firm in a single spot and shoots concentrated streams of water from both of it's cannons. The water pushes fighters backwards while dealing damage to them. |
| 015: Beedrill | Beedrill appears and moves to the left or the right, dashing off-screen. Seconds later, a swarm of Beedrill dash to the opposite side, hurting whoever is in their path while using Poison Sting. |
| 026: Raichu (Alolan) | Raichu, in his Alolan form, surfs in the air around the stage, zipping around and knocking opponents who are in his way around. He's covered in electric energy, so make sure to avoid him. |
| 035: Clefairy | Clefairy appears and waves around, allowing it's summoner to use Metronome. Metronome allows them to copy the move of any Pokémon's signature move, going from Goldeen to Mew. |
| 037: Vulpix | Vulpix appears and starts shooting out streams of fire from it's mouth, burning the platform it's on along with anyone who comes into contact with it. |
| 037: Vulpix (Alolan) | Vulpix appears in it's Alolan form, breathing small bursts of chilling air in a certain direction. The air puts fighters under a unique "freeze effect", chipping away at their percentage for a bit. |
| 052: Meowth | Meowth jumps into the fray and starts rapidly tossing coins in one direction. The coins do minimal damage, but push fighters away from him until he disappears. |
| 063: Abra | Abra appears on the stage and hovers there silently. If a fighter gets too close to it, it grabs it and teleports to another point on the stage that houses some form of danger, damaging it's kidnapee. |
| 095: Onix | Onix appears and drops rocks off it's large body. The rocks deal massive damage to whoever gets hit by them, but sometimes contain healing or offensive items for someone to use. |
| 101: Electrode | Electrode pops in and starts shaking around, ready to explode. If it does explode, those caught in it's range are damaged and damaged hard. Sometimes, however, it doesn't explode and sits there. |
| 103: Exeggutor (Alolan) | Exeggutor, in his Alolan form, towers over all other fighters and creates a barrier that cuts the stage in half, making the others halves inaccessible to people on each side. |
| 106: Hitmonlee | Hitmonlee jumps down on the stage and proceeds to jump high before landing back down with a hard kick, slamming anyone who comes in contact with the flaming foot. |
| 110: Weezing | Weezing charges up, small bursts of gas coming out of him as he slightly expands. Once he's ready, he explodes, leaving behind a poisonous cloud where he once was that damages foes. |
| 113: Chansey | Chansey, like certain other Pokémon, don't attack their opponents head-on. Rather, she throws eggs three times, all of which contain a random item for someone to pick up. |
| 118: Goldeen | Goldeen flops onto the stage and does...nothing. It simply flops around, gasping for air and begging to be retracted back into the Poké Ball. Literally nothing else happens. |
| 121: Starmie | Starmie appears on the stage and starts rapidly spinning like a top, shooting lazers out of his gem eye. Those caught near him will be rapidly hit before being slightly launched off. |
| 132: Ditto | Ditto appears and immediately transforms into a clone of another fighter, the only difference being their blank expressionless face. It then proceeds to fight them for a few seconds. |
| 133: Eevee | Eevee appears on the stage and runs around, ramming it's head into whoever is in it's path. If no one is near it, it simply looks both ways and stays idle, making the same expression. |
| 143: Snorlax | Snorlax jumps up in the air, disappearing for a few seconds before coming back down, much bigger than before. He moves down across the screen, massively damaging whoever he touches. |
| 144: Articuno | Articuno flies down and hovers over the stage, looking left and right. It then unleashes a blast of freezing energy that encases whoever it touches into a block of ice, damaging them. |
| 145: Zapdos | Zapdos zooms down to the stage and screeches before a flurry of lightning strikes hit the stage. They hit in random points, never hitting the same spot twice. |
| 146: Moltres | Moltres jets off into the air, disappearing off of the screen for a few seconds before slamming down on a random part on the stage. Even when he leaves, fire remains there for a few seconds. |
| 151: Mew | Mew appears and giggles before dropping only trophies and CDs and flying away. They have a one out eight hundred and two chance of appearing, so it's important to keep watch for it. |
| 152: Chikorita | Chikorita pops into existence and swings it's head up and down, resulting in razor-sharp leafs flying out of the leaf on it's head. They give minimal knockback but large chunks of damage if used right. |
| 155: Cyndaquil | Cyndaquil's back is lit aflame, jutting out blasts of fire. He walks around the stage, going back and forth in hopes of damaging whoever stands in his path...even with the short attack range. |
| 167: Spinarak
|
Spinarak drops down from a web and scuttles around the stage, running directly at an opponent. It latches onto then and bites them, poisoning them before trying to find another fighter. |
| 175: Togepi | Togepi, like Clefairy, uses Metronome...albeit different. She can copy up to five different moves from the Pokémon series, using moves that harm, heal, or even hinder. |
| 181: Ampharos
|
Ampharos pops out and begins to light up it's tail. The sheer brilliance of the light can paralyze opponents if they get too close to it, leaving them wide open for attacks. |
| 182: Bellossom | Bellossom starts to sway from side to side and do a dance, putting opponents to sleep if they're nearby. This leaves fighters open to the attacks of others, as Bellossom doesn't do real damage. |
| 183: Marill | Marill pops in and runs around the stage, slapping foes. It uses it's tail to attack sometimes, whipping it back and forth and dealing decent damage and knockback. |
| 185: Sudowoodo
|
Sudowoodo stands in place, not moving until another fighter gets near. It then slams it's arms down, knocking opponents back until it goes away. |
| 193: Yanma
|
Yanma flies around, biting opponents in it's way before going back and forth. It can be used as a moving platform, allowing for easy recoveries and ways to avoid opponents. |
| 201: Unown | Unown floats there, staring idly at the screen before flying off. Like Beedrill, he comes back with all of his Unown friends, slamming into anyone with a flurry of living letters. |
| 202: Wobbuffet | Wobbuffet doesn't seem to do much, simply standing there until a fighter hits him. He acts like a punching bag, hitting fighters harder if he rebounds after the delivered hit. |
| 212: Scizor | Scizor rushes at a random foe and grabs them with his pincers, delivering multiple pinches and jabs to them. He lets go and proceeds to fly off screen, leaving the fighter he attacked. |
| 214: Heracross
|
Heracross's main move is to charge into opponents with his horn, locking them into position before pummeling them with the aforementioned horn and his arms, punching rapidly. |
| 216 & 217: Teddiursa/Ursaring
|
Ursaring stands her baby Teddiursa, staring down at it in pride. If a fighter hits Teddiursa, Ursaring goes berserk and slams them around, swiping and biting at them before sitting with her cub. |
| 219: Magcargo
|
Magcargo is slow, dragging itself across the battlefield. It leaves a boiling hot trail of fire behind it, damaging whoever touches it. The Pokémon itself is hot to the touch, setting fighters ablaze. |
| 232: Donphan
|
Donphan curls up into a wheel-like form and barrels through items, fighters, and other obstacles. When uncurled, it can grab fighters and toss them around with it's long trunk. |
| 233: Porygon2 | Porygon2 proceeds to move forwards and backwards upon being called on, rotating it's "feet" and moving it's head up and down to clobber anyone who's in front of it. |
| 237: Hitmontop
|
Hitmontop lands on it's head and proceeds to spin around, dashing around the stag like a tornado and sweeping up items and fighters before jumping back to it's feet and delivering a final kick. |
| 243: Raikou | Raikou creates a current of electricity that covers every inch of the platform Raikou is standing on. It covers the top, sides, and bottom, only not covering the ledges on the main platform if it's there. |
| 244: Entei | Entei makes it's presence known, creating a tremendous roar before initiating it's attack. A pillar of fire rises around it and shoots upward, almost K.O.ing whoever is caught within it. |
| 245: Suicune | Suicine gracefully appears on the stage and proceeds to summon a wave of frost that moves across the stage. Whoever touches it takes damage and even freezes at high percentages. |
| 249: Lugia | Lugia, rather than flying into the foreground, goes into the background and starts flapping it's wings, creating gusts of winds that travel around the stage, instantly K.O.ing whoever touches it. |
| 250: Ho-Oh | Ho-oh descends from the heavens and proceeds to fly back upwards, sprouting a spinning column of fire underneath it. The fire damages whoever is caught within it, spinning them around as well. |
| 251: Celebi | Celebi appear and flutters over the stage. Rather than harming fighters, she instead drops trophies, healing items, regular attacking items, or sometimes nothing at all. |
| 255: Torchic | Torchic gleefully hopes around the stage, smiling and looking cheerful the whole way through. However, it leaves behind a burning trail of embers wherever it goes, damaging those who step in it. |
| 264: Linoone
|
Linoone runs around the stage at a fast pace, zig-zagging all around the stage. It can move up and down on floating platforms, meaning that no fighter is fully safe from it's attacks. |
| 271: Lombre
|
Lombre appears and starts to dance, causing it to start raining. The rain can damage opponents and also make areas not beneath platforms soaked and slippery, causing tripping at certain points. |
| 275: Shiftry
|
Shiftry is vicious, stomping over to opponents and slashing at them with his leaf hands. Once caught in it's grasp, it'll deliver devastating amounts of damage, ending in a swift slap. |
| 282: Gardevoir | Gardevoir appears and creates a shield around her summoner. The shield protects them from any and all projectiles, with Gardevoir moving and taking the shield with her. |
| 286: Breloom
|
Breloom hops around, bouncing across the stage. He lunges at opponents when he's near one, kicking them square in the chest before beginning to hop up and down once again. |
| 288: Vigoroth
|
Vigoroth is an energy-filled machine, dashing around and looking both ways. He'll slash at other fighters with his claws, hanging on platforms and planning to drop down onto their heads. |
| 294: Loudred
|
Loudred slams down and starts to roar loudly, creating shockwaves that emit straight from it's mouth. The soundwaves paralyze a fighter before launching them backwards a bit. |
| 302: Sableye
|
Sableye digs in a specific spot on the stage before pulling out a valuable item, whether it be offensive or defensive. Sableye has a small chance of taking the item for himself and leaving, however. |
| 303: Mawile
|
Mawile waddles around the stage, seemingly harmless until a fighter gets close to it's large mouth on the back. It will then swallow them as Mawile then tries to run off the stage before they escape. |
| 316: Gulpin | Gulpin plops down on the stage and sits, waiting for someone to get close. Once they do, it opens wide and swallows them, making them immobile as it gobbles them up. |
| 327: Spinda
|
Spinda, being the clumsy creature it is, wanders around the stage, delivering hits at random. It spins around in a similar style to drunken boxing, deliver hits with the weight of it's body. |
| 335: Zangoose
|
Zangoose is a relentless fighter, finding a random opponent and pursuing them throughout it's time on the stage. It'll do anything in order to duke it out with them, ready to slash and swipe at them. |
| 352: Kecleon
|
Kecleon appears and immediately turns invisible, only it's shadow remaining. It will randomly pop out at points and use it's tongue to poke and strike opponents before blending back in. |
| 359: Absol
|
Absol appears and howls, signalling a disaster is about to happen. The disaster is all offensive weapons like bombs going off after the howl, exploding together. |
| 362: Glalie
|
Glalie roars and summons a blizzard, sending chunks of ice flying. The ice surprisingly does no damage and instead completely freezes whoever it touches, locking them in place until they escape. |
| 366: Clamperl
|
Clamperl is able to trap a fighter inside of it's shell, keeping them in there until spitting them back out. Along with them comes a random item for someone else to use. |
| 376: Metagross | Metagross begins to rapidly slam his legs down onto the battlefield, shaking the stage and trapping anyone near or below his legs in the dirt. He does massive amounts of damage. |
| 377: Regirock
|
Regirock pops out and roars before throwing large boulders around the stage. Some bounce twice before breaking and some break upon impact with the ground or another fighter. |
| 380/381: Latias & Latios | Latias and Latios function as a duo, flying across the screen separately and damaging whoever they touch. They end it by flying in an X formation, making their attack deadlier. |
| 382: Kyogre | Kyogres pops in out of nowhere and proceeds to glide towards a random opponent, spewing out a jet of water to damage and knock them off of the stage in order to K.O. them. |
| 383: Groudon | Groudon appears and sits idly as it sets itself ablaze. It's large figure and frame make it a hard hazard to avoid, taking up a large part of whatever stage it's been summoned on. |
| 385: Jirachi | Jirachi appears from nowhere and cries it's name before flying back upwards, dropping trophies, music, and other items before disappearing, akin to Mew and Celebi. |
| 386: Deoxys (Attack Form) | Deoxys, in it's Attack Form, flies upwards and fires a beam downwards. The beam is extremely powerful, getting narrower as time goes on and damaging any opponents caught within it. |
| 391: Monferno
|
Monferno, already in a fighting stance, aims to protect it's summoner by sticking close to it and acting as a partner. It can only take a few hits before being K.O.ing, however. |
| 393: Piplup | Piplup plops down on the stage and starts moving in a stream of water. If it makes contact with another player, it attempts to drag them off of the stage, K.O.ing them and itself. |
| 405: Luxray
|
Luxray, looking rather miffed, starts to charge himself up as electricity surrounds him. It then proceeds to roar as lightning strikes the stage in three random places, frying anything in it's way. |
| 407: Roserade
|
Roserade gracefully moves around the stage, twiling and struting around. Her main attack acts like a charged side special, jutting out a lance-like protrusion from her hand. |
| 408: Cranidos
|
Cranidos can't exactly be stopped when it gets going, darting back and forth like an unstoppable juggernaut. It's head damages opponents when used as a battering ram-like object. |
| 416: Vespiquen
|
Vespiquen sits idly in the background, calling upon a swarm of Combees to stick themselves to a single figher. The weight of them slows a fighter down, making them much slower and heavier. |
| 417:Pachirisu
|
Pachirisu is able to whack opponents with her tail and paralyze them by charging her cheeks and charging at them. She doesn't do the best damage, but keeps opponents on their toes. |
| 428: Lopunny
|
Lopunny is a very physical fighter, darting around the stage and delivering kicks and punches. She evokes Mega Lopunny, using punches, kicks, and her ears to deal out damage. |
| 433: Chingling
|
Chingling hops around, jingling around before latching herself around an opponent. She uses the appendages on her head to constrict opponents, paralyzing them and keeping them in place. |
| 438: Bonsly | Bonsly functions much more like a projectile than a regular Pokémon. He's able to be picked up and tossed, dealing critical damage if it hits a target akin to Mr. Saturn. |
| 442: Spiritomb
|
Spiritomb traps opponents in a vortex of sorts, sucking them into the keystone that it calls home before spitting them back out onto the stage, laughing maniacally. |
| 446: Munchlax | Munchlax is somewhat of a hinderance, as instead of fighting or helping the summoner, it simply walks around and eats any items on the battlefield. If there are none to eat, he's even more useless. |
| 453: Croagunk
|
Croagunk jumps around the stage, performing crazy acrobatic tricks in order to get to others. He jabs opponents with his hands, damaging them and chipping at their health like poison. |
| 455: Carnivine
|
Carnivine hovers around, ready to chow down on opponents. It'll then get their head stuck in it's mouth, thrashing around in order to inflict damage onto them. |
| 460: Abomasnow | Abomasnow pops up on the battlefield and is able to use two different moves. He can create a blizzard around him that knocks back opponents while also being able to punch foes, freezing them. |
| 461: Weavile | Weavile runs at any and all other opponents at a rapid pace, swiping at them before running off. He's able to jump up onto platforms and is extremely fast, making an effort to chase after others. |
| 472: Gliscor
|
Gliscor flies around in the air, waiting for a good moment to strike. Upon finding that moment, it'll swoop down and use a flurry of attacks using it's tail, claws, and wings. |
| 475: Gallade
|
Gallade will valiantly defend it's summoner, leaping in to deflect or even take hits for them. It can be K.O.'d, but is still a challenge as it's pretty relentless overall. |
| 479: Rotom
|
Rotom takes on the form of one of it's many different electrical appliance, using their unique abilities to deal out different kinds of damage depending on the form they take. |
| 487: Giratina | Giratina appears and creates a large tornado that sweeps up fighters in it's general direction. It can carry those caught in off of the stage and can even K.O. them at high percentages. |
| 488: Cresselia
|
Cresselia floats down and proceeds to shine moonbeams down upon the summoner, healing them or boosting a random attribute of theirs, whether it be speed, strength, or agility. |
| 490: Manaphy | Manaphy appears and uses it's powers to swap the actions of a CPU and a player, resulting in them switching bodies until Manaphy disappears. This means you get to play as someone else for a bit. |
| 491: Darkrai | Darkrai flashes onto the stage and shoots out voids from his hands. The voids put those within in to sleep, drawing them in and leaving them open for powerful attacks from others. |
| 493: Arceus | Arceus is summoned, gently touching down upon the stage. He slams his two front legs down upon the ground, forcing all but the summoner to take damage as if a down Smash was used on them. |
| 494: Victini | Victini flies onto the stage, cheering as it boosts the physical power of whoever summoned it. The boost applies to all attacks, including smashes and specials. |
| 495: Snivy | Snivy appears starts swinging his tails around, launching razor-sharp leaves in a single direction. He can jump as well, allowing for the leaves to potentially reach more fighters. |
| 500: Emboar
|
Emboar stomps around and slams opponents down on the stage, using it's sheer strength and physique to crush whoever it grabs into the ground, leaving them stuck in the floor. |
| 501: Oshawott | Oshawott appears and starts bouncing around, excited. It proceeds to toss it's shell at fighters, bouncing off of them before coming back to him. He can turn left and right upon the shell returning. |
| 523: Zebstrika
|
Zebstrika stands in one position, crouching down in a readying stance. Sparks appear around it before it jets off in a single direction, taking everything in it's path with it. |
| 529: Drilbur
|
Drilbur burrows under the stage, moving around as small dirt pebbles fly up. It eventually pops back out right under a fighter or an item, spinning as it juts out of the ground. |
| 532: Timburr
|
Timburr, gripping on tightly to it's wooden plank, starts to spin around while holding the very end of it. He moves like a spinning top, slamming the plank straight into fighters. |
| 539: Sawk
|
Sawk runs around the stage and delivers brutal fist-based attacks to others. He frequently counters physical attacks like punches and kicks, so projectiles are the best weapon to use against him. |
| 552: Krokorok
|
Krokorok swings it's whole body around, engaging in a more versatile form of Brutal Swing. It uses it's head and tail to deliver varying degrees of damage. |
| 555: Darmanitan
|
Darmanitan stays in it's Zen form until a fighter gets near, then deciding to lash out and rapidly attack a fighter with it's brute strength. It reverts back to it's Zen form when the fighter is gone. |
| 563: Cofagrigus
|
Cofagrius reaches out for any nearby fighters and drags them into it's coffin-like body, damaging them while standing still. It'll then spit them back out, revealing they now have a random status effect. |
| 570: Zoroa
|
Zoroa appears and turns into a fighter who wasn't chosen during the match. He proceeds to use all of their special moves to their fullest extent, but cannot use a Final Smash. |
| 573: Cinccino
|
Cinccino latches onto it's summoner and acts as a protective shield, taking a few hits before having to get off. It doesn't directly attack, instead soaking up hits from others. |
| 575: Gothorita
|
Gothorita uses Future Sight to see when her summoner is going to be attacked and will immediately counter the opponent's attack with a few of her own. |
| 579: Reuniclus
|
Reuniclus fires out balls of psychic energy at the stage, targetting random places. The balls have considerable knockback, stunning fighters before having them launched. |
| 587: Emolga
|
Emolga glides around the battlefield, swooping down and grabbing onto a fighter's head. It then shocks them, launching them as it glides off into the distance. |
| 605: Elgyem
|
Elgyem uses it's intergalactic powers to heal it's summoner, taking some damage away. It must stay untouched, however, as even one hit will send it flying. |
| 612: Haxorus
|
Haxorus uses the two axe-like apendages on the side of it's head to slice at opponents. Simply running into Haxorus will bring a fighter loads of hurt, so it's important to keep an eye out. |
| 620: Mienshao
|
Mienshao leaps around the stage gracefully, whacking opponents with her arms. She can deliver kicks as well, but they're nowhere near as powerful as the slaps. |
| 624: Pawniard
|
Pawniard uses the blades that surround his whole body as his main method of attacking. He can use quick jabs, stabs, slashes, or even throw his whole body at a foe to do damage. |
| 646: Kyurem | Kyurem slams down onto the stage and roars before shooting out a frosty wind that freezes whoever stands in it's way. It deals large chunks of damage before freezing them. |
| 647: Keldeo | Keldeo runs around the stage, extending it's horn to perform it's Secret Sword attack. The horn can be swung like an actual sword or just used to jab and strike enemies. |
| 648: Meloetta | Meloetta starts to sing a song that sends music notes and shockwaves outwards towards the stage. They bounce off of fighters and solid surfaces, going away when Meloetta ges away. |
| 649: Genesect | Genesect jumps down and fires a lazer from their back, dealing massive damage to those caught in it. The lazer goes through walls and platforms, meanign that no one besides the summoner is safe. |
| 650: Chespin | Chespin appears on the stage and jumps around before beginning to fire seed bombs in the air. They move in an arc and explode upon contact, able to be thrown in any direction by Chespin. |
| 653: Fennekin | Fennekin runs out on the stage and spews out blasts of fire. It doesn't like being stationary, moving between parts on the stage every few seconds before repeating it's attack. |
| 659: Bunnelby
|
Bunnelby digs at the point it spawned in, searching for something in the ground. It can pull up an item, food, an Assist Trophy, or nothing, as the chances are random. |
| 661: Fletchling | Fletching hops around and even jumps at points, only rapidly pecking at other fighters when they're in it's range. It's not the fastest thing, hopping to get around. |
| 665: Spewpa | Spewpa appears and puffs out the hair around it, launching small spores around him. The spores lightly damage fighters, but mainly paralyze them and don't allow them to move for a second or two. |
| 668: Pyroar
|
Pyroar roars and proudly runs across the stage, biting at opponents who stand in his way. His mane is set ablaze when he does so, burning anyone who touches it. |
| 671: Florges
|
Florges stands idle, waiting for her someone to get near. If it's her summoner, then she will heal them slightly. If it's another foe, then she will impose an effect similar to Lip's Stick. |
| 673: Gogoat | Gogoat runs around the stage, darting back and forth and using it's head as a blunt weapon. It can be hopped on akin to a moving platform, allowing for extra creativity when using it. |
| 677: Espurr
|
Espurr doesn't do much for the majority of their time on the stage, sitting idle until it's ears lift. Psychic energy spews out of them, damaging any foe that comes in contact with them. |
| 681: Aegislash
|
Aegislash acts like a living sword would, flying around and slashing at foes. It's extremely hard to take out due to him going back and forth between it's Shield and Blade forms. |
| 684: Swirlix | Swirlix creates a field of fairy-like energy around her which slows down any fighter who runs into it. While no damage is taken, the field is large and can potentially trap fighters for a good while. |
| 686: Inkay | Inkay pops up and burrows into the ground, spinning like a drill. If an opponent touches it, not only do they take damage, but they also trip and fall down, leaving them wide open for attacks. |
| 687: Malamar
|
Malamar appears and immediately flips the stage upside down while keeping the fighter's controls the same. A similar effect to Palkia, he immediately disappears when the stage is back to normal. |
| 693: Clawitzer
|
Clawitzer floats above the stage, shooting out bursts of water from his one large claw. It eventually gets tired of this and proceeds to snip at brawls with the same claw up close. |
| 695: Heliolisk
|
Heliolisk absorbs solar energy, popping out it's frills to do so. It then lunges around, tackling opponents with it's frills and tail while shocking them with it's electric powers. |
| 701: Hawlucha
|
Hawlucha jumps up into the air and slams back down in, landing on the other side of the stage. It travels from side to side, slamming opponents who it lands on top of. |
| 702: Dedenne | Dedenne pops out on the battlefield and proceeds to generate ball of electricity around him. The ball bounces those caught within in back and forth, eventually launching them away. |
| 709: Trevenant
|
Trevenant is out to "plant new trees"; by that, it means that it wanders around the stage and slams fighters into the ground, keeping them there until they can wiggle out. |
| 713: Avalugg
|
Avalugg acts as a moving platform for fighters to stand on. He can crush anything that's below him, but is immobile if two or more fighters stand on him. |
| 715: Noivern
|
Noivern jets upwards, flying high above the stage. He then proceeds to screech, sending damaging soundwaves across the stage. In stages with walls, the soundwaves bounce off of them. |
| 716: Xerneas | Xerneas appears and proceeds to use it's magic to raise the attack power of any and all fighters on the stage. He raises the power of his summoner more, however, giving them the advantage. |
| 717: Yveltal
|
Yveltal flies into the background and proceeds to fire it's signature move, Oblivion Wing, at the stage. It can angle the beam upwards and downwards, making avoiding it a challenge. |
| 720: Hoopa
|
Hoopa throws rings all around the battlefield, throwing up to four. He then flies through all of them, damaging any fighter that's on his flight path. |
| 721: Volcanion
|
Volcanion stomps on the ground, causing cracks to appear at certain points in the stage. Boiling hot geysers shoot up, burning anyone who comes in contant with them. |
| 726: Torracat
|
Torracat pounces on opponents, swiping and spewing flames at them. It can sense when someone is able to attack it as the hairs on it's back rise up. |
| 732: Trumbeak
|
Trumbeak flies towards an opponent and pecks at them, perching itself on their backs. It'll leave if a fighter is attacked, prompting it to move to another fighter. |
| 738: Vikavolt
|
Vikavolt zips around the stage at blazing speeds, grabbing anyone in his way with his two long spikes. He then proceeds to electrify his prey, shocking them and launching them back. |
| 741: Oricorio
|
Oricorio, in one of it's four forms, attacks based on it's form of dance. It uses it's body and form to attack, delivering specific kinds of damage depending on the form. |
| 744: Rockruff
|
Rockruff barks and proceeds to use Stealth Rock, surrounding points on the stage with sharp jagged rocks. Once a point touches a fighter and damages them, it goes away. |
| 750: Mudsdale
|
Mudsdale appears on one end of the stage and charges off of the other side, ramming into other fighters. He falls off the stage, taking whoever got hit with him if they're not careful. |
| 754: Lurantis
|
Lurantis uses X-Scissor on unsuspecting foes, slashing at them twice before launching them backwards. They're very easy to hit from behind, as they have no method of defense behind them. |
| 757: Salandit
|
Salandit spews poisonous patches of fire as it walks around, viciously biting anyone in it's path. If there's an item on the ground, it'll steal it and dive off of the stage instead. |
| 760: Bewear | Bewear runs around the stage, seemingly doing nothing in particular. Once it finds an opponent, it delivers a powerful uppercut, sending whoever it touches flying into the air. |
| 766: Passimian
|
Passimian chucks a large berry around the stage. The berry bounces off fighters, platforms, and walls if a stage has them, breaking after a few bounces. |
| 771: Pyukumuku | Pyukumuku is stationary until a fighter approaches it. Upon them getting near, Pyukumuku launches it's innards out in the shape of a hand, punching and slapping fighters around. |
| 772: Type:Null
|
Type:Null walks around the stage, bashing opponents with it's head. It's head has random properties based off of a select few Pokémon types, such as Fire, Water, or Grass. |
| 776: Turtonator
|
Turtonator stations itself where it spawns. If a fighter touches or lands on top of it, Turtonator explodes, sending that fighter and others around it flying at incredible speeds. |
| 777: Togedemaru | Togedemaru appears on the stage and waddles around. Upon getting near an opponent, the spikes on it's back jut outwards, a small burst of electricity appearing around him when they first do. |
| 778: Mimikyu | Mimikyu shuffles around the stage in search of a target, which it, upon finding one, proceeds to drag them under it's costume and damage them from the inside. |
| 785: Tapu Koko | Tapu Koko floats above the stage before sending thunder down upon the stage. If a foe is paralyzed by the thunder, it'll encase them it's "shell", damaging them from the inside. |
| 791: Solgaleo | Sogaleo proceeds to roar and rush upwards before unleashing Sunsteel Strike, a fiery hot beam of energy that shoots down at a point on the stage. Sogaleo hops into the beam before disappearing. |
| 792: Lunala | Lunala, like Lugia, flies behind the stage and prepares to fire Moongeist Beam, a single beam that almost K.O.'s whoever it touches. It moves the beam up after a few seconds. |
| 793: Nihilego
|
Nihilego hovers above a fighter of it's choosing before descending down and sticking to their heads. The fighter is now immobile, trying to get the creature off of them. |
| 795: Pheromosa
|
Pheromosa appears and uses a variety of kicks and punches to duke it out, using her thin frame to weasel her way through the different fighters and hazards around her. |
| 796: Xurkitree
|
Xurkitree uses it's "arms" and "legs" to move around wildly, electrocuting and attacking whoever happens to come near it. It's last attack will electrify a small area around it, paralyzing foes. |
| 798: Kartana
|
Kartana's small size makes it's tremendous power even more potent. It floats around the straight, slicing and dicing opponents rapidly as if it's using miniature swords. |
| 802: Marshadow | Marshadow becomes a flat shadow and moves around the stage, popping out under a fighter and rapidly punching them before disappearing back into the ground. |
| 806: Blacephalon
|
Blacephalon juggles it's head around before tossing it at the stage. It explodes upon contact, prompting Blacephalon to throw two more duplicate heads at random points. |
| 812: Rillaboom
|
Rillaboom begins to bang on it's drum, sitting stationary in the area where it was summoned. Repurposing Donkey Kong's old Final Smash, each soundwave bounces fighters back and forth, causing them to rack up damage over time. |
| 826: Orbeetle
|
Orbeetle uses it's immensely strong Psychic abilities to control the nearest fighter, reversing their controls. Should Orbeetle be attacked in this state, the hold it has on the fighter breaks, allowing for it to be K.O.'d easily...as if getting close would be easy. |
| 831: Wooloo
|
Wooloo, like Goldeen, seems to have no purpose, standing around absentmindedly and looking cute while doing so. However, should anyone attack it, the fluffiness of it's fleece with reflect the attack back at them, Wooloo taking no harm. |
| 841: Flapple
|
Flapple darts around in the air, diving and swooping throughout the battlefield. Should it get close to the ground, it spews out small puddles of acid that do poison damage to anyone who steps in them. These puddles only disappear when Flapple's time on the stage is up. |
| 849: Toxtricity
|
Toxtricity appears in either it's Amped or Low Key forms; in the former, it attacks by getting up close and doing stun damage , while with the latter, it does the same while inflicting poison damage. Either form is dangerous no matter what they do. |
| 851: Centiskorch
|
Centiskorch lunges forwards 24/7, acting as an evermoving whip that does burn damage if it hits opponents with it's head. It snakes along the ground and since it's so flat, it can easily end up sneaking up on foes when they least expect it. |
| 858: Hatterene
|
Hatterene rushes towards a foe and grabs them with it's hair-made claw, continuing to move forwards with them in tow. Unless they're stopped, Hatterene will go off the nearest edge or walkoff in an attempt to silence the fighter, although breaking free is an option. |
| 861: Grimmsnarl
|
Grimmsnarl is all about grabs and throws, clutching onto opponents and performing it's own set of throws to dish out damage. The forward and side throws send them flying, the up throw has him toss them into the air like a toy, and the down throw has him shove his foe right into the floor. |
| 865: Sirfetch'd
|
Sirfetch'd runs around with it's lance and shield, striking anyone nearby with the lance while protecting itself for attacks with the shield. The lance can unleash a rather strong attack with a light amount of super armor on it, making this duck one tricky threat. |
| 870: Falinks
|
Falinks stacks themselves in two formations; two as legs, three as the torso and arms, and the brass one as the head. This form dishes out more physical attacks while it's other form, it's iconic line form, sees all six charge into opponents like a train. |
| 887: Dragapult
|
Dragapult lingers in the background like some character's Final Smashes. Once ready to attack, they launch Dreepy out of their heads at laser-fast speeds, each Dreepy targeting one or two fighters. They don't do much damage on their own, but their speed is the real threat in this scenario. |
| 893: Calyrex
|
Calyrex floats elegantly across the stage, not doing much in terms of attacks unless it's provoked. If done so, Calyrex uses their abilities to do rather minimal damage...unless you're shielding, in which your shield is almost destroyed by their power. |
Music[]
Like every other Smash game before it, Super Smash Bros. Swansong offers plenty of new music tracks for fighters to duke it out to.

Every past song returns, with all new ones being listed here.

Trivia[]
Below are facts about the content and development of Super Smash Bros. Swansong, pretaining to cut fighters, old ideas, and other fun facts.
- Multiple characters were considered to be put in Super Smash Bros. Swansong as playable fighters. These include:
- Sukapon from Joy Mech Fight
- Sheldon from Splatoon
- Excitebiker from Excitebike
- Nintendog from Nintendogs
- Kumatora from Mother 3
- Balloon Fighter from Balloon Fight
- Heihachi from the Tekken series
- Nabbit from the Super Mario series
- Guzma & Golisopod from Pokémon Sun & Moon
- James Bond from Goldeneye 007
- Urban Champion from Urban Champion
- Ayumi Tachibana from Famicom Detective Club
- Blastoise from the Pokémon series
- Plusle & Minun from the Pokémon series
- Itsuki Aoi from Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE
- Donkey Kong Jr. from the Donkey Kong series
- Rex & Pyra from Xenoblade Chronicles 2
- Travis from Mother 4
- Yu Narukami from Persona 4
- Axel from Streets of Rage
- The Battletoads from Battletoads
- Scorpion from Mortal Kombat
- Mametchi from Tamagotchi
- 2B from NieR:Automata
- It's been heavily rumored that Nabbit was eventually replaced with Popple due to the latter having more moveset potential among fans of the character compared to Nabbit. In addition, Scorpion was dropped in favor of Spinal.
- Chrom from Fire Emblem: Awakening was originally planned as a newcomer before being revealed as an echo of Roy in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the same applying to Banjo & Kazooie from Banjo-Kazooie. Similarly, Dark Samus was going to stay as an Assist Trophy until she was revealed for the same game.
- In a somewhat similar case, there were rumors that Bandana Dee from the Kirby series was intended to be playable along with the other cut characters. However, the rumors were confirmed false when Bandana Dee appeared as an Assist Trophy, replacing Isabelle's function from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U & 3DS.
- Core Crystals were originally going to be an item, along with Blades from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 acting as Assist Trophy-like characters, but was scrapped during development. The only remant of this system is the presence of Roc as an Assist Trophy, representing the game as it's sole Assist Trophy.
- The additions of Spyro, Cinder, and the Cheetahmen Assist Trophy were all due to CrunchTime420 (t∣b∣c)'s request after helping Doodle fix the game after an unexplained event occurred involving certain assets.
- The decision was made to consolidate the Mii Fighter into one character relatively early on in development.
- Spinal from Killer Instinct was added to the game via a character swap program with Ambrisynth (t∣b∣c). In return for Spinal, Doodle offered her Wryn from BLEED. While Spinal was the only thing that Ambro specifically wanted, Doodle added other pieces of Killer Instinct content to the game just for fun.
