Super Smash Bros Ultimate Character Roster - Every Fighter in Smash Bros Ultimate

Super Smash Bros Ultimate Full Character Roster, plus guides on every fighter in the game, covering changes, moves and alternate outfits.

Super Smash Bros Ultimate is by far the most content-packed entry into the series yet. There are over 74 fighters, including every single character that has ever featured in a previous Smash Bros game. There are a bunch of new faces, features and Final Smashes to learn, so we figured it would be good to detail all of them. In this Super Smash Bros Ultimate Character Guide, we've listed every character in the game, along with links to each one's fighter guide. You'll find the moves, changes, Final Smashes and more for every character in Super Smash Bros Ultimate.

For more on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate you can head over to our Super Smash Bros Ultimate Guides hub. You'll find details on the game's final release date, what stages are in the game, how amiibo functionality will work, as well as every trailer we've gotten so far.

Will More Characters be Added to Super Smash Bros Ultimate as DLC

In recent iterations, Smash Bros received additional characters post-launch. These were added in as paid DLC, and would sometimes be the result of a voting process from the community. It seems that this will also be the case for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Sakurai confirmed during the latest Nintendo Direct that there will be 5 extra paid-DLC fighters post-launch. Each will come with its own stage and music pack.
