An [[Inkling]] from the {{uv|Splatoon}} series, with various male and female designs from the original ''{{s|inkipedia|Splatoon}}'', was the first character confirmed to appear in the game as a new playable fighter. [[Ridley]], a central villain from the {{uv|Metroid}} series, was confirmed to be playable during [[E3]] 2018, with [[Meta Ridley]] as an alternate costume. [[Simon Belmont]] of the {{uv|Castlevania}} series was announced as the game's first third-party newcomer along with his descendant and echo fighter, [[Richter Belmont|Richter]]. [[King K. Rool]], arch-nemesis of the Kong family from the {{uv|Donkey Kong}} series, was confirmed to be a playable newcomer as well, with his move-set drawing on his appearances as a boss character. [[Isabelle]] from the {{uv|Animal Crossing}} series, who previously appeared in ''Smash 4'' as an [[Assist Trophy]], makes her playable debut as the second ''Animal Crossing'' fighter. Finally, in the November Nintendo Direct, an [[Incineroar]] from ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Sun & Moon}}'' was announced as the title's last base roster newcomer.

In addition, most full [[clones]] and one semi-clone are now labeled as "Echo Fighters" and are marked with an epsilon (ε) next to their fighter numbers, which they share with the characters they are based on. Returning characters [[Lucina]] and [[Dark Pit]] are given this title (as they are Echo Fighters of [[Marth]] and [[Pit]], respectively), while new characters [[Princess Daisy]], Richter, [[Chrom]], [[Dark Samus]], and [[Ken Masters]] are Echo Fighters of [[Princess Peach]], Simon, [[Roy]], [[Samus]], and [[Ryu]], respectively. Aside from an option allowing these characters to be displayed on the same slot as their counterpart on the [[character selection screen]] exclusively during [[Vs. Mode]], [[Tourney]], [[Custom Smash]], [[Super Sudden Death]], and [[Quickplay]], there is no special distinction between most of them in-game, and the name is used mostly for marketing purposes.
