There have been three main trailers released for Ultimate so far. All newcomers and veterans are confirmed through these trailers. Like its predecessor, 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

The Inkling's debut trailer (though it was not clearly specified at the time) was shown at the conclusion of the March 8 Nintendo Direct. The beginning of this trailer is fittingly identical to the debut trailer for Splatoon at E3 2014. Ultimately, it culminates in the Inkling girl turning around and looking at a fiery object. The image of the Super Smash Bros. logo is reflected in her eye. The camera then pans to the logo itself with multiple veterans shown standing in front of it. Closeups of Mario and Link (in his Breath of the Wild outfit]] are shown, followed by a provisional logo and title for the game. The trailer ends with a provisional release date.

This trailer was not named after the Inklings or Splatoon in any fashion. It was titled "Super Smash Bros. is coming to Nintendo Switch!".

Daisy

Though Daisy is never given a specific trailer, she made her debut in Nintendo's E3 2018 presentation, where Sakurai confirmed her existence as another Echo Fighter. Her debut came right after a trailer that confirmed all previously playable veterans would appear in the game.

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 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, as is Mario (whose hat is left on the ground. 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. Ridley then twirls Mario's hat as the trailer moves to in-game footage. Various moves of Ridley 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.
