{{DISPLAYTITLE:List of ''Super Smash Bros.'' series characters}}
A '''fighter''', also known as a '''playable character''' or simply '''character''', is a character (or in some cases, multiple characters simultaneously) in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series roster that can be controlled by players in [[Versus Mode]] and other modes. These characters are located on the [[character selection screen]] and can be used without a cheat device (e.g. [[Action Replay]]). Playable characters can further be divided into [[starter character|starter]], [[Unlockable character|unlockable]], and [[Downloadable character|downloadable]], which distinguishes whether characters can be played right away, whether they need to be unlocked, or whether they need to be downloaded.

A '''character''' is one of the fighters in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series. Characters can be sorted into '''playable''' and '''non-playable''', which distinguishes whether characters can be used without the use of a cheat device (like [[Action Replay]]) or not. Playable characters can further be divided into [[starter character|starter]], [[Unlockable character|unlockable]], and [[Downloadable character|downloadable]], which distinguishes whether characters can be played right away, whether they need to be unlocked, or whether they need to be downloaded.

===Alternate costume characters===
This is a list consisting of playable characters in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series that can only be accessed as playable characters via another character's [[alternate costume]]s. Although these characters are considered to be a simple extension of these preexisting characters, they feature several distinguishing qualities, such as unique character models and character selection screen announcement clips.

==Newcomers and veterans==
==Newcomers and veterans==
A '''newcomer''' is a character who appears as playable for the first time in the series in a given game. A '''veteran''' is the opposite: a character who has been playable in a previous game. For example, Diddy Kong is a newcomer in ''Brawl'', as he did not appear as playable in any previous games, but is a veteran in all subsequent games. Note that the definition of newcomers is distinct from that of "[[unlockable character|unlockable]]" or "secret" characters, which are playable characters who must be unlocked by completing certain tasks; ''Melee'', ''Brawl'', and ''Smash 4'' all had starter veterans, starter newcomers, unlockable veterans, and unlockable newcomers. ''Ultimate'' is the first game in which all newcomers to the base game are unlockable; however, most veterans are also unlockable.

The term newcomer was originally used to describe the unlockable characters in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' by the [[Erase Data|data deletion]] [[menu]]. It was later used in the first trailer for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', in which new characters were introduced with the title "Newcomer" atop their name. The word newcomer was later used on the [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]] site to classify characters who made their debut in ''Brawl'' and are starters in there, in addition to third party characters [[Snake]] and [[Sonic]]. This use of the term has become the community-preferred usage for other games in the series.

==="Perfect-attendance crew"===
==="Perfect-attendance crew"===
Less commonly, the term "veteran" can also denote the "eight regulars" or "perfect-attendance fighters", which are the eight [[starter character]]s in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' which have been in all subsequent games of the series. The "perfect attendance" part of the term is a reference to the fact that these eight fighters have always been available from the start of every game without needing to be unlocked. The terms originated in the description for the 10th ''Brawl'' event match [[Event 10: All-Star Battle Regulars|All-Star Battle Regulars]], reading: ''"The Smash Bros. perfect-attendance crew! Fight the eight regulars in order!"'' A popular, unofficial term referring to this group is "The Original 8" ([[Mario]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[Link]], [[Samus]], [[Yoshi]], [[Kirby]], [[Fox]], and [[Pikachu]]), which may also be called "The Original 12" if including the four unlockable characters ([[Luigi]], [[Ness]], [[Captain Falcon]], and [[Jigglypuff]]), who have likewise appeared in every game in the series. The 29th ''Brawl'' event match [[Event 29: All-Star Semifinal Regulars|All-Star Semifinal Regulars]] states: ''"Four hidden characters from the past game! They're secret perfect attendees."'' {{forwiiu}} is the only installment where all the "Original 12" are starter characters. ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' refers to the concept of the perfect-attendance crew by making the only starter characters the aforementioned "Original 8".

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*{{uv|Pokémon}} is the only universe to have multiple fighters cut throughout the series, being Mewtwo, Pichu, and Pokémon Trainer's Squirtle and Ivysaur.
*[[Dr. Mario]], [[Ice Climbers]], [[Lucas]], [[Mewtwo]], [[Pichu]], [[Pokémon Trainer]] (including [[Ivysaur]] and [[Squirtle]]), [[Roy]], [[Snake]], [[Wolf]], and [[Young Link]] are the only characters to have ever been cut.
**However, it is also the only universe to have newcomers in all games.
**Dr. Mario, Mewtwo, and Roy were playable in ''Melee'' but not ''Brawl'', before returning in ''Smash 4'' thirteen years later.
*{{uv|Metal Gear}} and {{uv|Ice Climber}} are the only universes to have the entirety of their characters cut from a game.
**Pichu and Young Link were playable in ''Melee'' but not ''Brawl'' or ''Smash 4'', before returning in ''Ultimate'' seventeen years later. This makes them the only characters to skip two installments and multiple installments.
*Pichu and Young Link are the only fighters to have been absent from multiple consecutive installments.
**Ice Climbers were playable in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' but not ''Smash 4'', before returning in ''Ultimate'' ten years later.
*Ice Climbers are the only characters to have been a fighter in multiple games before being cut.
**Pokémon Trainer (along with Ivysaur and Squirtle), Snake, and Wolf were playable in ''Brawl'', but were cut in ''Smash 4'' before returning in ''Ultimate''.
*Lucas is the only fighter to have been a starter character, unlockable character, and downloadable character in separate games. Lucas is also the only playable character who has never appeared in a non-''Smash'' game released outside Japan.
**Lucas was playable in ''Brawl'', but was cut in ''Smash 4'' before returning as [[DLC]] six months after its release. Lucas is the only character to have ever been cut but never skip an installment.
*[[Roy]] is the only playable character to debut in ''Super Smash Bros.'' before appearing in any other game. His inclusion in ''Melee'' was intended to promote ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade}}'', his debut in his home series, which was released shortly after ''Melee'' in Japan. According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], ''The Binding Blade'' was originally scheduled for release before ''Melee''.<ref>https://sourcegaming.info/2015/12/13/sakurai-fe25/</ref>
*[[Roy]] is the only "non-native" character to debut in a ''Super Smash Bros.'' game before appearing in any other game in their respective series. His inclusion in ''Melee'' was intended to promote ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade}}'', which was released shortly after ''Melee'' in Japan.
*[[Charizard]], [[Little Mac]], [[Ridley]], [[Dark Samus]], [[Isabelle]], [[Chrom]], and [[Piranha Plant]] are the only characters to have been made fully playable after major non-playable appearances, excluding characters that are playable via items such as [[Metal Mario]]. These include [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon, [[Boss]]es, [[Assist Trophies]], [[stage hazard]]s, or part of another character's moveset. Of these characters, Chrom and Piranha Plant are the only ones to retain their non-playable roles even after becoming playable.
**According to ''Super Smash Bros.'' series director [[Masahiro Sakurai]], ''The Binding Blade'' was originally scheduled for release before ''Melee''.<ref>https://sourcegaming.info/2015/12/13/sakurai-fe25/</ref>
*Charizard is the only character who was part of a transformation character, became a standalone fighter, and then returned to being part of a transformation character.
*{{SSB|Captain Falcon}} (in ''SSB''), the {{SSB4|Mii Fighter}}s (in ''SSB4'' and ''SSBU'') and {{SSBU|Pac-Man}} (in ''Ultimate'') are the only characters to use head icons that don't portray their faces.
**Inversely, Samus is the only character who was initially a standalone character before being able to transform into Zero Suit Samus, before the two were split in their next appearances.
*''Smash 4'' is the first game to feature playable female swordfighters: [[Lucina]], female [[Robin]], female [[Corrin]], and female [[Mii Swordfighter]].
*{{SSB|Captain Falcon}} (in ''Smash 64''), the {{SSB4|Mii Fighter}}s in both of their appearances, and {{SSBU|Pac-Man}} (in ''Ultimate'') are the only fighters to use head icons that don't portray their faces.
**[[Koopalings|Wendy O. Koopa]], who appears as an alternate costume for Bowser Jr., is the first female villain to be a playable character in the series.
*Prior to ''Ultimate'', the only unlockable characters whose playable status was not kept a secret in official sources prior to release were {{SSBB|Snake}} and {{SSBB|Sonic}} in ''Brawl'', and {{SSB4|Lucina}} in ''Smash 4''.
*Lucina and Wendy O. Koopa (the latter of whom is playable as an alternate model swap for Bowser Jr.) are also the first two unlockable female characters in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. Unlike Lucina however, it is virtually impossible to face Wendy in an unlock match (due to her only being accessible as a playable character through Bowser Jr.'s alternate costumes).
 
*[[Wario]] is the only character prior to ''Ultimate'' to debut as a starter before becoming unlockable in another game, as well as the only one prior to ''Smash 4'' to have never had fewer than 8 palette swaps.
==See also==
*[[Yoshi]] and [[Captain Falcon]] are the only characters who appear in all five ''Super Smash Bros.'' games that are the sole representatives of their series.
*[[Mii Costume]]
*{{uv|Metal Gear}} and {{uv|Ice Climber}} are the only universes to have the entirety of their characters cut from one game to the next, and then both being reintroduced in the next game after that.
*[[Starter character]]
*[[Samus]] is the only female character to appear in all five ''Super Smash Bros.'' games, as Pokémon were not considered gendered at the time of the first game's release.
*[[Unlockable character]]
*''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' is the first game in the series since ''Melee'' to not have any veterans cut from the roster. All the previously cut veterans that haven't appeared since ''Melee'' and/or ''Brawl'' return with various changes to their appearances and/or movesets including new [[Final Smashes]].
*[[Non-playable character]]
*[[Lucas]] is the only character to have been a starter character, unlockable character and downloadable character at one point, as [[Mewtwo]] and [[Roy]] were unlockable in their [[Super Smash Bros. Melee|debut game]] as well as ''Ultimate''.
