Revision as of 21:13, December 3, 2022

Because the main page is quite large, I have decided to make the "Series by miscellaneous companies" section its own sub-page as it is guarenteed to have the most universe entries out of all of the categories, what with it not focusing on one company or its subsidiaries.

This sub-page is for IPs that are owned by companies which do not currently have any of their IPs represented with a playable character in Smash. Any IP owned by the major third-party companies in Smash (Konami, Sega/Atlus, Capcom, Bandai Namco, Square Enix, Microsoft, SNK, and Disney) should go on the main page.

Also, as suggested on the main page, you must keep this ruleset in mind before you decide to add any universes here.

All universes on this page were added by me unless stated otherwise. Universes that were added by other users are to be marked with <big>'''Added by *insert username here*'''</big>, which should go below the universe's title header and above its infobox.
