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.


==Playable characters==
==List of fighters==
This is a list of the playable characters in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, commonly known in official sources as '''fighters'''. For the first three games, shaded cells denote unlockable characters. For ''Smash 4'', red cells denote characters that only need to be unlocked in the 3DS version, blue ones denote those that need to be unlocked in both it and the Wii U version, and yellow ones denote downloadable characters. Characters that are noted to have been "intended" in a Smash game were planned by [[Sakurai]] to be included in that game as a playable character at some point, before being cut for whatever reason.
This is a list of the fighters in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.
 
The following does not include some [[boss]]es who can be playable on occasion, such as in the [[World of Light]].
 
''For characters who were considered or intended to be fighters, see [[Unused content (SSB)]], [[Unused content (SSBM)]], [[Unused content (SSBB)]], [[Unused content (SSB4)]], and [[Unused content (SSBU)]].''

Such unused data also includes unused [[fanfare]]s for the former two characters, and unused sounds for Mewtwo. When combined with confirmation from Sakurai that there were many characters that were planned for inclusion in ''Brawl'' who got scrapped, it is virtually certain these three were among the intended characters who were scrapped mid-development.</ref>

==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, Olimar is a newcomer in ''Brawl'', as he did not appear as playable in any previous games, but is a veteran in all subsequent and future 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; every game starting with ''Melee'' has had starter veterans, starter newcomers, unlockable veterans, and unlockable newcomers.

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 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 new characters whether unlockable or not. This use of the term has become the community-preferred usage for other games in the series.

==="Perfect-attendance crew"===
Less commonly, the term "veteran" can also denote the "eight regulars" or "perfect-attendance fighters", terms which refer to the eight [[starter character]]s in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' which have been in all subsequent games of the series. 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", which may also be called "The Original 12" if including the four unlockable characters.

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.

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==
*[[Roy]] is the only "non-native" character to appear in a ''Super Smash Bros.'' game before appearing in any other series, having been put into ''Melee'' as a promotional gimmick designed to showcase a new {{uv|Fire Emblem}} game (''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade}}'') released shortly after ''Melee''.
*{{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]] and [[Mewtwo]] are the only characters to skip an installment, being playable in ''Melee'' but not ''Brawl'', before returning in ''Smash 4'' thirteen years later.
**However, it is also the only universe to have newcomers in all games.
*[[Ice Climbers]] are the only characters to be cut after appearing in multiple games.
*{{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 are the only fighters to have been absent from multiple consecutive installments.
*Ice Climbers are the only characters to have been a fighter in multiple games before being cut.
*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.
*[[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>
*[[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.
*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.
**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.
*{{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.
*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''.

Latest revision as of 17:43, November 24, 2024

A fighter, also known as a playable character or simply character, is a character (or in some cases, multiple characters simultaneously) in the Super Smash Bros. 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, unlockable, and downloadable, which distinguishes whether characters can be played right away, whether they need to be unlocked, or whether they need to be downloaded.

List of fighters[edit]

This is a list of the fighters in the Super Smash Bros. series.

The following does not include some bosses who can be playable on occasion, such as in the World of Light.

For characters who were considered or intended to be fighters, see Unused content (SSB), Unused content (SSBM), Unused content (SSBB), Unused content (SSB4), and Unused content (SSBU).

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ Mii Fighters are automatically unlocked upon creation in the Mii Fighter menu, or, in Ultimate, upon unlocking them in World of Light.
  2. ^ Some characters are accessible through others' movesets. Transformation characters share a slot on the character selection screen, but in most situations players can start the match as whichever form they wish. In Ultimate, transformation characters may appear independently as enemies in single-player modes.
  3. ^ Bowser Jr.'s alternate costumes also allow players to control any of the Koopalings instead.
  4. ^ a b c d e f g h This fighter's alternate costumes have male and female variants. Only the default gender's stock icon is shown on the table.
  5. ^ a b Is a Poké Ball Pokémon.
  6. ^ a b c d e f g Pokémon Trainer's moveset allows the player to switch between Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard using their shared down special, Pokémon Change.
  7. ^ a b Appears in Robin's Final Smash.
  8. ^ a b c Is an Assist Trophy.
  9. ^ Half of Hero's costumes represent 4 different protagonists from across the franchise: Luminary, Erdrick, Solo, and Eight. Luminary is the default, and only his stock icon is shown on the table.
  10. ^ a b Pyra and Mythra can transform into each other using their shared down special, Swap.
  11. ^ a b In Smash 4 and Ultimate, half of Olimar's costumes allow players to control Alph instead.
  12. ^ a b Is a stage hazard.
  13. ^ a b R.O.B.'s default appearance in Smash 4 and Ultimate changes depending on the language the game is set to. His Famicom design is his default appearance in Japanese, Chinese, and Korean languages, while all other languages use his NES design.
  14. ^ Is a boss.
  15. ^ Is a stage hazard in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
  16. ^ a b Samus can transform into Zero Suit Samus by rapidly using the up and down taunts or by using her Final Smash. Zero Suit Samus can transform into Samus with her own Final Smash (but not through taunting). They were split into separate characters starting in Smash 4.
  17. ^ a b c d Both Zelda and Sheik can Transform into each other using their down special. They have new special moves starting in Smash 4, thus they can no longer transform.
  18. ^ Alex, Zombie, and Enderman appear as alternate costumes.
  19. ^ a b Pokémon Trainer is not counted because he isn't controlled by the player and he lacks a fighter number in Ultimate. Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard are counted instead.

Newcomers and veterans[edit]

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" 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 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"[edit]

Less commonly, the term "veteran" can also denote the "eight regulars" or "perfect-attendance fighters", which are the eight starter characters 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 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 All-Star Semifinal Regulars states: "Four hidden characters from the past game! They're secret perfect attendees." Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 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[edit]

  • Pokémon is the only universe to have multiple fighters cut throughout the series, being Mewtwo, Pichu, and Pokémon Trainer's Squirtle and Ivysaur.
    • However, it is also the only universe to have newcomers in all games.
  • Metal Gear and Ice Climber are the only universes to have the entirety of their characters cut from a game.
  • Pichu and Young Link are the only fighters to have been absent from multiple consecutive installments.
  • Ice Climbers are the only characters to have been a fighter in multiple games before being cut.
  • 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.
  • 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 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.[1]
  • 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, Bosses, Assist Trophies, stage hazards, 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.
  • 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.
    • 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.
  • Captain Falcon (in Smash 64), the Mii Fighters in both of their appearances, and Pac-Man (in Ultimate) are the only fighters to use head icons that don't portray their faces.
  • Prior to Ultimate, the only unlockable characters whose playable status was not kept a secret in official sources prior to release were Snake and Sonic in Brawl, and Lucina in Smash 4.
