**Several users collaborated to replace every fighter portrait in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' with joke images, such as {{s|User|Omega Tyrant}} collaborating with {{s|User|Omega Toad}} to replace {{SSBU|Hero}}'s renders with Gohan Heros. Images of the SSBU character table after every image was replaced can be found [[:File:SSBU_character_template_AFD_veterans.png|here]] and [[:File:SSBU_character_template_AFD_newcomers.png|here]].
