When looking at the ellipses in the infoboxes it looks like a "loading" icon. Now the chances are probably low, but I can see some people who have never played Ultimate to be staring at it thinking something will open up, before realizing it's actually a symbol. Now as a disclaimer this is in no way to suggest we stay with Battlefield, but rather why I believe the ellipses is not going to work.

:That is a completely valid point. This is why, after giving some thought, '''the most objective placeholder is no symbol at all'''. Battlefield fails at conveying its supposed meaning spectacularly, the ellipsis can mean too many things and is tiny, and a blank symbol causes too much blank space. No symbol at all immediately signals that the character is not affiliated with a fighter-based series, rather than after a minute like with using any symbol. Also, several pages, such as [[Fighting Wire Frames]], look completely fine without a symbol in the infobox (though to be fair, that specific page should have the SSB symbol). | |||
:As for the usages on tables, '''some pages, such as [[Mii Costume]], already don't have a symbol, and those also look completely fine'''. As for DLC pages, where the symbol substitutes as a bullet point, using a regular bullet point should get the job done.
