{{ArticleIcons|series=y}}

The '''character selection screen''', also called the '''character selection menu''' and abbreviated as '''CSS''', is the menu where a player chooses their [[character]] to be used in a game [[mode]] and also where the player may sometimes make changes to the [[rules]]. The character selection screen is composed of boxed portraits of the heads or busts of playable fighters, normally arranged together by game series or related characters, with more characters added once they are [[unlockable character|unlocked]] or [[Downloadable content|downloaded]]. It is utilized in each game and appears in both single-player and multiplayer modes where the player is not required to use a specific character(s). Character selection screens are almost always uniform across game modes for each game, with the exception of the character selection screen for [[Tournament Mode]] and the [[Subspace Emissary]] single-player mode in ''[[Brawl]]'' which uses a very featureless character selection screen for assembling a party of characters.
