Several characters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate have been announced via promotional trailers. As with the character trailers for Super Smash Bros. 4, most trailers for the game are animated with CGI while also showing in-game footage of the characters.
Also like SSB4, some newcomers have poster artwork.
Below is a list of all the character trailers for the confirmed newcomers.
Inkling
Inkling wasn't given a specific trailer, but made her debut along with the game's reveal on its teaser trailer, simply titled "Super Smash Bros. is coming to Nintendo Switch!", at the conclusion of the March 8th Nintendo Direct. The beginning of this trailer has a pair of male and female Inklings fighting each other, heavily based on the debut trailer for Splatoon at E3 2014. After a few seconds of fighting, the Inkling girl comes to a halt as the white void fades to black. She turns around to look at the large, fiery object as the only source of light in the room. As she watches in dismay, the object is revealed to be the Super Smash Bros. logo, with its image being reflected in her eye. The camera pans to the logo with multiple veterans shown standing in front of it. Close-ups of Mario and Link (wearing the Champion's Tunic from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild) are shown. The camera cuts back to both Inklings staring towards the logo and veterans, while the screen fades to white, followed by a provisional logo, title and release date of 2018 for the game.
Inkling was only officially announced as a newcomer in the "Everyone is here!" trailer, shown in Nintendo's E3 2018 presentation on June 12th, with the male Inkling joining her as an alternate costume.
Veterans
Uniquely, all of the returning characters in Ultimate were revealed simultaneously in the "Everyone is here!" trailer, as well as the formal reveal of Inkling. Every character is given a number corresponding to their debut in the Super Smash Bros. series. The trailer opens up with a shot of Battlefield before showing fighter number one, Mario, emerging from a Warp Pipe before demonstrating gameplay footage of him, then moving on to Samus, Kirby, Bowser, Link, Donkey Kong, Fox and Falco, Marth, Zelda and Sheik, Villager, Meta Knight and Mewtwo, Sonic, Peach, then Pikachu. The Ice Climbers, who were absent from Super Smash Bros. 4, are shown on Summit, followed by the first in-game footage of Inkling, then Captain Falcon, Zero Suit Samus and Wii Fit Trainer, Charizard, Ivysaur, and Squirtle returning as part of Pokémon Trainer, Ness and Lucas, Ryu and Ganondorf, Ike, Cloud. Snake appears on Shadow Moses Island and as he stands up, the text "EVERYONE IS HERE!" appears in front of him. The trailer then proceeds to show Jigglypuff and Pichu, Roy, Olimar and Diddy Kong, Lucario, Lucina and Robin, Bayonetta, Mr. Game & Watch and Greninja, Dr. Mario, R.O.B., and Duck Hunt, Pit, Dark Pit, and Palutena, Corrin, Bowser Jr., Toon Link and Young Link, Rosalina & Luma and King Dedede, the Mii Fighters, Wario and Little Mac, Pac-Man, Shulk, Wolf, and Mega Man. After showing the game's full logo for the first time, revealing its title as Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the trailer shows Luigi and Yoshi who, despite being two of the Original 12, are notoriously often revealed to be in the game late in development, something the Masahiro Sakurai commented on when revealing Luigi for Super Smash Bros. 4.
Daisy
Daisy wasn't given a specific trailer, but made her debut in Nintendo's E3 2018 presentation, after the "Everyone is here!" trailer. After announcing beforehand the Echo Fighter status of previous veterans Dark Pit and Lucina (Echoes of Pit and Marth respectively), Sakurai confirmed Daisy as another Echo Fighter, this time of Peach.
Ridley
Ridley's trailer, titled "A Piercing Screech", was first shown at the conclusion of Nintendo's E3 2018 video presentation. The trailer opens with a portion of a white Super Smash Bros. logo marking as the camera zooms in and then showcases a dark room. In this room, Samus, Mega Man and Mario are seen walking cautiously. Mega Man is grabbed off-screen and then pierced by a tail (and his "lost a life" sound is played), then Mario is snatched and smashed by a claw. Samus turns around and readies her arm cannon as she sees Mario's hat laying on the ground. A creature comes crashing down in front of her, revealed to be Ridley. Ridley lets out a screech as the tagline "Ridley Hits the Big Time!" appears on screen, twirling Mario's hat as the trailer moves to in-game footage. Various moves of Ridley's are shown off through the in-game footage, including his Final Smash. After the Ultimate logo is shown on screen, CGI footage of Meta Ridley is shown off. Then, Zero Suit Samus jumps into the air and prepares to kick Ridley before the trailer concludes.
The pose Samus takes before Ridley is revealed is heavily similar to her pose in the final shot of the Metroid segment of the Melee opening movie, where she was seen fighting against Ridley.
