Anakin faces his demons
—Introduction tagline

Anakin (アナキン, Anakin) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was confirmed as a playable character on April 1st, 2021, and is scheduled for release on April 31st, 2021. Anakin is classified as Fighter #81.

Hayden Christensen and James Earl Jones reprise their roles from the films.

Known InformationEdit

Two of Anakin’s alternate costumes turn him into the suited Darth Vader.

If Anakin is present on any stage with sand terrain, such as Tortimer Island, he will gradually take damage.

MovesetEdit

  • Most of Skywalker's lightsaber attacks can deflect energy projectiles and destroy other projectiles.
  • Anakin’s special moves consist of force abilities seen in the Star Wars franchise.
    • Neutral special: Throwing his lightsaber and bringing it back.
    • Side special: Similar to dancing blade.
    • Up special: Does a Force Jump
    • Down special: Using the Force sees the future and counters, similar to Vision.
    • Final Smash: Similar to Ken and Ryu, Anakin has two final smashes, both called The Force Unleashed after the video game.
      • If up close a cutscene plays, as Skywalker it looks like his son's appearance in The Mandalorian and if Vader his appearance in Rouge One.
      • If far away, Anakin/Darth jumps away. Palpatine appears in the background (like Palutena's army) and uses Force Lightning on everyone.

TauntsEdit

  • Looks down and says I miss you Padmé.
  • Tosses his Lightsaber while saying "This is where the funny begins."
  • Shouts, "I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new empire."
    • As Darth Vader shouts, "I find your lack of faith disturbing."

Victory PosesEdit

  • In his appearance during Order 66 Skywalker walks in front of a bunch of Clone Troopers.
    • As Vader he instead walks in front of a bunch of Stormtroopers.
  • Builds something as if it were Lego Star Wars.
  • Knees beside the Emperor then stands up when motioned.
  • Instead of clapping like most of the other characters in the game, it has him burning alive and screaming "I HATE YOU!".

In the character trailer this was used as the victory theme, despite it not representing victory.

Role in World of LightEdit

 
The message that shows Byleth's availability in World of Light

Due to his status as downloadable content, Anakin does not have a legitimate role in World of Light. Instead, he is unlocked for use in the mode after freeing 10 fighters from Galeem's control. If loading an existing save file that meets this condition before downloading Byleth[sic], he is immediately unlocked.

TriviaEdit

  • Saker eye (not Sakurai) stated that he had worked for years with George Lucas to make an “AFD Joke”.
    • Lucas further stated that it wasn’t a joke but for the memes from the prequels.
  • Like Joker, Anakin’s last two alts are different from the rest.
  • Skywalker is the first character to originate from something other than a video game.
  • On Boxing Ring he is called The Chosen One of the Force.
    • As Darth Vader he is Second only to the Emperor.
  • He is based on his Star Wars Legends counterpart.

Article on Wikipedia Darth Vader


Anakin Skywalker (アナキン・スカイウォーカー, Anakin Sukaiwōkā) is the main character of the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy and the main antagonist of the Original Trilogy as Darth Vader (ダース・ベイダー, Darth Vader).

OriginEdit

Main article: wikipedia:Darth Vader

In the 1977 film Star Wars the main antagonist is Darth Vader. Over the years more about the “Galaxy far far away” was revealed. Darth Vader’s real name was shown to be Anakin Skywalker.

Star Wars creator George Lucas has collectively referred to the first six episodic films of the franchise as "the tragedy of Darth Vader".[1]

In Super Smash Bros. UltimateEdit

An April 1st, a day where everyone reveals things, Anakin Skywalker was revealed to be a playable character in SSBU releasing on April 31st. They also stated he will be for free on February 28-32nd. "He is in a not challenger pack." [sic]
Two of Anakin's palette swaps turn him into the suited Darth Vader.
His moveset is a combination of Skywalker and Vader's meaning it is faster and weaker than Vader and slower and stronger than Skywalker.

SpiritsEdit

TriviaEdit

  • Because of his debut in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (1977) Anakin is the oldest character in Smash Bros. beating Mr. Game & Watch and Pac-Man (1980).
  • He is the first non video game character to be playable.
  • Skywalker is one of the few characters to not have their head as the Stock Icon.
    • His is a variation of his series symbol.

Article on Wikipedia Star Wars (universe)

The Star Wars universe (スター・ウォーズ, Star Wars) refers to the Smash Bros. series' collection of characters, stages and properties that hail from the video game franchise developed by Microsoft subsidiary Mojang Studios. Since its development versions in 2009 and official release in 2011, Minecraft has become a worldwide cultural phenomenon and is the single best-selling video game of all time[2], spawning a litany of spinoffs.

Franchise descriptionEdit

Minecraft is an open-world sandbox game about survival and creativity, with a block based world and blocky characters. Worlds always generate randomly based on set seeds, allowing players to have a different experience in each world while different worlds can be generated by all players through the seeds. In Survival Mode, the focus is to gather resources and get stronger while building a home base. Steve is effectively the main character, as the default appearance of the player's avatar. At night, players may encounter mobs like Zombies, Creepers, Spiders, Endermen, and more. While never told by the game itself during gameplay, the goal is to kill the Ender Dragon, who lives in the End dimension. Creative Mode focuses on building creations with the wide array of different blocks and materials. The game allows players to play with other people with servers, or on Realms. There are also some spinoff titles of Minecraft, namely AR mobile game Minecraft Earth, the action RPG Minecraft Dungeons and the adventure game Minecraft Story Mode, along with Minecraft Education Edition existing as a learning tool.

The popularity of Minecraft has led to many third party companies basing new games on it or having crossovers with the Minecraft IP. For example, Square Enix's Dragon Quest Builders series is a mix between Minecraft's blocky design and survival genre and Dragon Quest's characters and role-playing genre.

In Super Smash Bros. UltimateEdit

The Star Wars universe will be introduced in Ultimate as DLC for Challenger Pack 10?, with one fighter, a stage, music tracks, and several Spirits.

NotesEdit

  1. ^ Mii Fighters are automatically unlocked upon creation in the Mii Fighter menu.
  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 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 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. They are starters in Brawl and unlockable in Ultimate.
  6. ^ Known as Duck Hunt Duo in PAL regions.
  7. ^ 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.
  8. ^ Known as Mii Sword Fighter in PAL regions.
  9. ^ a b Pyra and Mythra can transform into each other using their shared down special, Swap.
  10. ^ a b In Smash 4 and Ultimate, half of Olimar's costumes allow players to control Alph instead.
  11. ^ 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.
  12. ^ a b Samus' Final Smash in Brawl, Zero Laser, transforms her into Zero Suit Samus. Zero Suit Samus can transform in Samus by using her Final Smash, Power Suit Samus.
  13. ^ a b c d In Melee and Brawl, both Zelda and Sheik have Transform as their down special, which allows each of them to transform into the other.
  14. ^ Alex, Zombie, and Enderman appear as alternate costumes.
  15. ^ a b Pokémon Trainer is not included due to not being controlled by the player and not having a fighter number in Ultimate. Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard on the other hand are included.

Primary universesEdit

These are the video game series and franchises that the Super Smash Bros. games classify as major enough that they assign each franchise its own unique symbol that appears with characters and stages belonging to that franchise. These franchises generally have characters, stages, items, and other properties that all appear in Smash Bros. games as part of their primary content. However, the minimum requirement for a symbol is to contribute one stage or one character to the games, with one notable exception. Universes that only contribute a stage, with the sole exception of Animal Crossing in Brawl, do not get a separate universe listing in the trophies pages and items and spirits are not tagged with the symbol (for example, Golden Hammer is listed as a Mario item and the Rocket Belt is listed under others).

  • The Super Smash Bros. universe: The "default" universe, this represents the Smash Bros. games themselves and accompanies all appearances of characters and stages that are thematically original to the fighting games themselves. Many original characters have been introduced here, but none thus far have been actually playable, with most serving as enemies and bosses in single-player content. The universe symbol seen here is also used as a "placeholder" by the games to indicate a minor universe without its own symbol until Ultimate, where an ellipsis is used instead. In Super Smash Bros. 4, the Super Smash Bros. universe gets its own character representation by the customizable Mii Brawler, Mii Swordfighter, and Mii Gunner.
 
 
 
  • Subspace: A sort of sub-universe of the greater Smash Bros. universe, Subspace encompasses Tabuu and his Subspace Army, as well as the realm of Subspace itself and other original content restricted to the Subspace Emissary. In Ultimate, Galleom returns as a boss while other members of the Subspace Army appear as spirits.
 
 
  • World of Light: A type of sub-universe of the Super Smash Bros. universe. Includes characters appearing in Ultimate's adventure mode. The two boss characters Galeem and Dharkon are from this series.
 
  • The Mario universe: Also referred to as the Super Mario Bros. or simply Super Mario series. Nintendo's flagship video game franchise, mostly focusing on the efforts of its eponymous hero to save the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom from the evil Koopa Troop. The company mascot at the head of this multi-genre series, Mario (the mascot of Nintendo and who appears on all Nintendo systems), is a primary playable character in Smash Bros. games, and has been accompanied by his brother Luigi (both since Smash 64), his alter-ego Dr. Mario (Melee and from Smash 4 onwards), the Mushroom Kingdom princess, Peach (since Melee), the villainous king of the Koopas Bowser (since Melee), his mischievous son Bowser Jr. (Smash 4 onwards) (who also has the seven Koopalings join him in the form of alternate costumes), the cosmic guardian Rosalina along with her child Luma (Smash 4 onwards), the reigning princess of Sarasaland, Daisy (Ultimate), and a feared enemy of the kingdom, Piranha Plant (Ultimate, albeit as DLC) as playable characters. Brawl also started to treat Mario Kart as a partially separate universe, containing two stages and a collection of music tracks, though it still uses the main Mario series symbol.
 
  • The Donkey Kong universe: A franchise which the Mario series was partially spun-off from. The direction of British company Rareware (now known as Rare Ltd.), focusing on the adventures Donkey Kong along his many simian friends and relatives and his reptilian nemeses. Donkey Kong himself has been a playable Smash Bros. character throughout the entire series, while his monkey nephew Diddy Kong has been playable since Brawl. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Kongs' long standing arch-nemesis, King K. Rool, finally joins the roster as a playable newcomer.
 
  • The Yoshi universe: Referred to as the Yoshi's Island universe by PAL versions of Brawl, it was initially conceived as a prequel to the Mario series starring the dinosaur Yoshi, as he befriended and saved the baby forms of Mario and Luigi, however, it later sprung on Yoshi having adventures of his own along others of his species. Known as being a more colorful and saccharine subset of the Mario series, Yoshi is the sole representative of the series in the Super Smash Bros. games.
 
  • The Wario universe: Referred to in NTSC versions of Brawl as the WarioWare universe, and as the WarioWare, Inc. series by PAL versions, the Wario universe is a sub-series of Mario games whose main character is Mario's ill-mannered and nefarious anti-hero counterpart, Wario. The games in this series are either platforming titles or microgame collections in its main character's quest to indulge in his greed and gain wealth, and Wario as he appears in both of these two genres of games within his series, is the one playable character.
 
  • The Wrecking Crew universe: A curious NES puzzle/platform game starring Mario and Luigi as demolition workers, trying to destroy old buildings while avoiding Foreman Spike, Gotchawrenchs and the infamous Eggplant Men. Previously classified as a Mario game, the sub-series was given its own symbol and stage in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Ultimate.
 
  • The Legend of Zelda universe: A critically-acclaimed series of adventure titles known for their heavy emphasis on exploration, puzzle-solving and use of items, portraying several incarnations and continuities of its main characters across the ages, primarily the young Hylian hero Link (who is accompanied by Young Link in Melee & Ultimate, and Toon Link since Brawl), the eponymous princess Zelda (since Melee), and the dark lord/warlock Ganondorf (since Melee). These five, as well as Zelda's ninja-like alter-ego Sheik (since Melee), are playable characters.
 
  • The Metroid universe: A science fiction series in either the side-scrolling platforming or the first-person shooting adventure genres. The series' formerly silent protagonist, bounty hunter Samus Aran clad in a versatile power suit (as well as without it in an alternative guise named Zero Suit Samus), is the primary playable character. In Brawl, another character from the universe appeared as a boss in the form of Ridley, and later as Meta Ridley. In Smash 4, Ridley appears as a stage boss in the Wii U version. However in Ultimate, Ridley finally becomes a playable fighter on his own accord. Also in Ultimate, Dark Samus - the bounty hunter's arch-rival from the Prime series - joins the fray, being promoted from Assist Trophy.
 
  • The Kirby universe: A colorful platformer series aimed at beginners in gaming, its signature mechanic being its main character's ability to inhale his enemies and copy their powers, and the game franchise headed by Masahiro Sakurai prior to and alongside his directorial involvement in his Smash Bros. series, and also developed by HAL Laboratory. The titular pink spherical hero Kirby (since Smash 64), his menacing rival Meta Knight (since Brawl), and the greedy King Dedede (since Brawl) have all been featured as playable characters.
 
  • The Star Fox universe: A series of space shooting games that got its start as among the first games to popularize 3D polygonal graphics in the Super Nintendo era. All the games' characters are anthropomorphic animals. The de facto leader of the "Star Fox" team Fox McCloud has been available for the entire series. Ace wing man Falco Lombardi was added to the list in Melee and has been in every game since. Wolf O'Donnell, Fox's rival and leader of the mercenary group "Star Wolf", has been playable in Brawl and Ultimate.
 
  • The Pokémon universe: Also known as Pocket Monsters. One of video gaming's most lucrative franchises, this multi-genre franchise emphasizes handheld role-playing games that focus on the training and battling of at least 890 distinctive species of creatures called Pokémon, from which the series derives its name. Playable characters consist of electric mouse mascot Pikachu (since Smash 64) and its younger form Pichu (Melee and Ultimate), the hypnotic pink puffball Jigglypuff (since Smash 64), psychic feline humanoid Mewtwo (Melee and Smash 4 onwards), the jackal-like Lucario (since Brawl), a generic Pokémon Trainer (Brawl and Ultimate) who commands his three Pokémon (Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard, although Charizard reappears by itself in Smash 4) from the background to do battle in the foreground, the speedy ninja frog Greninja (Smash 4 onwards) and the pro-wrestler wildcat, Incineroar (Ultimate).
 
  • The EarthBound universe: Known as Nintendo's cult classic trilogy, it is also referred to by its Japanese title, the Mother series. A postmodern, satirical, and psychedelic take on role-playing conceived by Shigesato Itoi, with three games in the series. It focuses on a group led by children with psychic powers, who travel across the world to save it from destruction.
