With how many third-party universes that are being included in the ''Smash'' series recently, whether they get playable fighters or not, I decided to make a safe-haven for potential third-party candidates which anyone can include, provided they follow the ruleset.
With how many third-party universes that are being included in the ''Smash'' series recently, whether they get playable fighters or not, I decided to make a safe-haven for potential third-party candidates which anyone can include, provided they follow the ruleset.


Do note that this page is only for the major third-party companies in ''Smash'' (i.e. the ones that have playable fighters). For universes owned by companies that don't have any of their IPs represented with a fighter, refer to [[/Series by miscellaneous companies|here]].
Because of the significantly less finite nature of this project compared to its [[List of minor Nintendo universes|inspiration]] [[List of minor third-party universes|pages]], I have decided to split it into three separate sub-pages. This page serves as the index so you can choose which category you want to check out. Here are the categories:

Although none of this userpage's sub-pages are marked as drafts, they are free for anyone to edit.
Before making any contributions to them, however, I suggest you read this ruleset first.

With how many third-party universes that are being included in the Smash series recently, whether they get playable fighters or not, I decided to make a safe-haven for potential third-party candidates which anyone can include, provided they follow the ruleset.

Because of the significantly less finite nature of this project compared to its inspiration pages, I have decided to split it into three separate sub-pages. This page serves as the index so you can choose which category you want to check out. Here are the categories:


Major Companies (A-M): Universes by companies with playable representation whose names starts with a letter between A to M.

Major Companies (N-Z): Universes by companies with playable representation whose names starts with a letter between N to Z.

Minor or Unrepresented Companies: Universes by companies with no playable representation in Smash.
