Revision as of 11:28, June 13, 2018

A character is one of the fighters in the Super Smash Bros. 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, 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.

Playable characters

This is a list of the playable characters in the Super Smash Bros. series, commonly known in official sources as fighters.

Notes

  1. ^ a b c Sakurai mentions these characters as having been planned for Super Smash Bros. on this page.
  2. ^ a b c d e f As part of the Pokémon Trainer.
  3. ^ a b c While there hasn't been any official confirmation that Mewtwo, Roy, and Dr. Mario were intended to be in Brawl, unused data on Brawl's disc labelled for each of them strongly implies that the characters were developed to some degree for Brawl.
  4. ^ Sakurai stated that, while the Ice Climbers could run smoothly on the Wii U version, the 3DS could not handle the "two-in-one" coding of the duo, and, in order to keep the roster the same between the two versions, they had to be cut from the roster.
  5. ^ Sakurai stated that he originally intended to replace Ness with the new protagonist of Mother 3 (Lucas) in Melee, though Mother 3's delay caused him to go back on the idea and keep Ness.
  6. ^ Sakurai mentions Marth as having been planned for Super Smash Bros. on this page.
  7. ^ Appears as a boss character.
  8. ^ Appears as a stage hazard.
  9. ^ Former head of Sonic Team, Yuji Naka, stated in an interview that Sonic was very close to being included in the game, but because of time constraints, was not.

Non-playable characters

  2. ^ a Mii Fighter costume based on the Flying Man is available as downloadable content in SSB4
  3. ^ a b While Giant DK and Metal Mario were unplayable in the original Super Smash Bros., they are effectively playable in the following installments by picking up a Super Mushroom or a Metal Box, respectively.
  4. ^ Giga Bowser is playable in Brawl, SSB4 and Ultimate as Bowser's Final Smash.
  5. ^ Master Hand is playable in Melee through the Master Hand glitch.
  6. ^ Ridley is a playable character in Ultimate.
  7. ^ Sandbag is mechanically considered an item in Brawl and SSB4, not a character.

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" 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.

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 characters 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 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, Captain Falcon, Ness, and Jigglypuff). Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is the first game where all the "Original 12" are starter characters.

Trivia

  • Roy is the only "non-native" character to debut in a Super Smash Bros. game before appearing in any other game in their respective series. His inclusion in Melee was intended to promote Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, which was released shortly after Melee.
  • Dr. Mario, Ice Climbers, Mewtwo, Pichu, Pokémon Trainer (including Ivysaur and Squirtle), Roy, Snake, Wolf, and Young Link are the only characters to skip an installment.
    • Dr. Mario, Mewtwo, and Roy were playable in Melee but not Brawl, before returning in Smash 4 thirteen years later.
    • Pichu and Young Link were playable in Melee but not Brawl or Smash 4, before returning in Ultimate seventeen years later. This makes them the only characters to skip two installments and multiple installments.
    • Ice Climbers were playable in Melee and Brawl but not Smash 4, before returning in Ultimate ten years later.
    • Pokémon Trainer (along with Ivysaur and Squirtle), Snake, and Wolf were playable in Brawl but not Smash 4, before returning in Ultimate ten years later.
  • Captain Falcon (in SSB) and the Mii Fighters (in SSB4) are the only characters to use head icons that don't portray their faces.
  • Dr. Mario, Falco, Mr. Game & Watch, and R.O.B. are the only characters that have been unlockable characters in every one of their playable appearances.
  • Smash 4 is the first game to feature playable female swordfighters: Lucina, female Robin, female Corrin, and female Mii Swordfighter.
    • Wendy O. Koopa, who appears as an alternate costume for Bowser Jr., is the first female villain to be a playable character in the series.
  • Wario is the only character to debut as a starter before becoming unlockable in another game.
  • Yoshi and Captain Falcon are the sole representatives of their series to appear in all four Super Smash Bros. games.
  • Ice Climbers are the only characters to be cut after appearing in multiple games. However, they will return in Ultimate.
  • Metal Gear and Ice Climber are the only universes to have the entirety of their characters cut from one game to the next. Both will be reintroduced in Ultimate.
  • Samus is the only female character to appear in all four Super Smash Bros. games, as Pokémon were not considered gendered at the time of the first game's release.
