A '''fighter''', also known as a '''playable character''' or simply '''character''', is a character | A '''fighter''', also known as a '''playable character''' or simply '''character''', is a character 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 '''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 | A '''newcomer''' is a character who appears as playable for the first time in the series in a given game.

''Ultimate'' is the first game in which all newcomers 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. | The term newcomer was originally used to describe the unlockable characters in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' by the [[Erase Data|data deletion]] [[menu]].

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]]). 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.” | ||
