{{quote|Dark Samus is a living Phazon entity with the radioactive substance Phazon as her energy supply. She has a wide range of abilities, like being able to teleport, cloak herself, and attack with an arm cannon.|[[smashwiki:Tips|Tips]]|Super Smash Bros. Ultimate}}
'''Dark Samus''' is the main antagonist of two [[metroidwiki:Metroid Prime (series)|''Metroid Prime'' games]] of the [[metroidwiki:Metroid (series)|''Metroid'' series]]. Revealed in ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid Prime 2: Echoes|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'' as a doppelgänger of [[Samus Aran]], Dark Samus is actually the result of [[MetroidWiki:Metroid Prime (specimen)|Metroid Prime]] fusing itself with Samus' [[metroidwiki:Phazon Suit|Phazon Suit]] (and a sample of Samus' DNA by extension) following its defeat on [[metroidwiki:Tallon IV|Tallon IV]] in ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]''.

{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Dark Samus (SSBU)}}
[[File:04E-Dark Samus.png|thumb|left|100px|Dark Samus's stock icon]]
Dark Samus is as an unlockable playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''; this marks not only her playable debut in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, but also her first playable appearance in any game. Due to being an [[smashwiki:Clone|Echo Fighter]] of Samus, Dark Samus fights almost exactly like Samus, but has a number of different animations and unique taunts and victory poses. Compared to Samus, Dark Samus uses Phazon in her moveset, as indicated by blue flames with an [[smashwiki:Electric|electric]] effect for all [[smashwiki:Missile|but]] [[smashwiki:Bomb (Samus)|two]] of Samus' respective [[smashwiki:Flame|flame]]-based attacks, and dark blue energy for [[smashwiki:Charge Shot|Charge Shot]] and [[smashwiki:Zero Laser|Zero Laser]]. In addition, her [[smashwiki:Roll|rolls]] involve her evading via levitation instead of transforming into a [[metroidwiki:Morph Ball|Morph Ball]]. 

In ''Ultimate''{{'}}s Adventure Mode, World of Light, Dark Samus is not seen when the fighters oppose [[Galeem]] for the first time. However, she, like every fighter except [[Kirby]], is hit by one of Galeem's beams of light and imprisoned in the World of Light, where a Puppet Fighter of her is created. Said Puppet Fighter initially serves Galeem, but is later brought under [[Dharkon]]'s control. The Dharkon-serving Dark Samus Puppet Fighter is eventually defeated, freeing the real Dark Samus and thus enabling her to join Kirby's team against Galeem and Dharkon.

Dark Samus is a heavy fighter, being heavier than [[Wario]], [[Ike]], [[Ridley]], [[Simon Belmont|Simon]], and [[Richter Belmont|Richter]] but lighter than [[Piranha Plant]], while having the same weight as Samus, [[Bowser Jr.]] (and the [[Koopalings]]), and [[Terry Bogard|Terry]].

====Classic Mode route====
Dark Samus' Classic Mode route is titled "The Great Poison Given Form", where she teams up with "dark" versions of characters (in reference to [[metroidwiki:Phazon Corruption|Phazon Corruption]]) against protagonists.

=====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''=====
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Dark Samus appears as both a collectible [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] and a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]], both of which depict her appearance in ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes''. In ''Brawl''{{'}}s Adventure Mode, The Subspace Emissary, her sticker can only be equipped by Samus and [[Zero Suit Samus]], and gives them a +11 increase in their battering resistance when equipped.

A "Dark Samus" appears in co-op Event 7: Battle of the Dark Side. Although it is meant to represent Dark Samus herself, this Dark Samus is merely Samus' model recolored entirely black.

Dark Samus appears as an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', taking her appearance from ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid Prime 3: Corruption|Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]''. She attacks using a variety of Phazon-based abilities, such as tentacles that sprout from the ground, a scattershot of bullet-like blasts from her [[metroidwiki:Arm Cannon|Arm Cannon]], or a barrage of energy balls that home in on enemies. If enough damage is dealt to Dark Samus, a ball of light forms around her before she disappears; otherwise, she simply disappears after a period of time. Dark Samus is also the basis for one of Samus' alternate colorations.

{{quote|Anything can change!|Chrom|Super Smash Bros. Ultimate}}
'''Chrom''' is the prince (and eventual ruler) of [[fireemblem:Ylisse|Ylisse]], father of [[Lucina]], and a distant descendant of [[Marth]] who makes his debut in ''[[fireemblem:Fire Emblem Awakening|Fire Emblem Awakening]]''. During the events of the game, he meets and befriends [[Robin]], who joins him and his military band, the [[fireemblem:Shepherds (group)|Shepherds]], in defeating the Fell Dragon [[fireemblem:Grima (character)|Grima]]. He wields [[fireemblem:Falchion (Archanea)|Falchion]], the same sword wielded by Marth, albeit heavily reforged.

In English, Chrom is voiced by {{wp|Matthew Mercer}},<ref>[https://twitter.com/matthewmercer/status/1027209533179932672 Tweet by Matthew Mercer]</ref> who has voiced him in the dubbed ''Fire Emblem'' games, while {{wp|Tomokazu Sugita}}, Chrom's Japanese voice actor in the ''Fire Emblem'' series, provides his voice in the Japanese version.<ref>[https://twitter.com/sugitaLOV/status/1027199951409803264 Tweet by Tomokazu Sugita]</ref>

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Chrom (SSBU)}}
In the Nintendo Direct broadcast on August 8, 2018, Chrom was announced as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', being an Echo Fighter of [[Roy (Fire Emblem)|Roy]]. The main gameplay difference distinguishing Chrom from Roy is that his sword attacks deal consistent damage regardless of his distance from the opponent, similarly to Lucina's main difference from Marth. While Chrom shares many similar moves with him, he also possesses a move that is similar to Ike's [[Ike#Aether|Aether]], Soaring Slash, though instead of throwing his sword, he slashes upward, sending opponents into the air. Several of Chrom's moves also lack Roy's fire effects, namely his up smash attack, down air attack and all of his special moves. For his Final Smash, Awakening Aether, Chrom performs a single slash, stunning any opponents in front of him, and performs his [[fireemblem:Aether|Aether]] skill from ''Fire Emblem Awakening'', lunging forward and launching them away.

Despite being a playable character, Chrom still appears in Robin's Final Smash and one of Robin's victory poses. Initially, Chrom had the generic ''Fire Emblem'' victory theme from the previous games, albeit sped up (akin to [[Marth]], Roy, and Ike), despite Lucina and Robin's victory theme having been replaced by a short arrangement of "Id (Purpose)", a song from ''Fire Emblem Awakening''. Chrom's victory theme was changed to Lucina and Robin's version through the version 3.0.0 update released on April 17, 2019.

Chrom is one of the two newcomers that use the "''Joins the battle!!!''" tagline (as with the Japanese and British English versions) regardless of region, with the other being [[Dark Samus]].

Chrom has average weight, being heavier than [[Ness]], [[Lucas]], [[Inkling]], and [[Mii Brawler]], but lighter than [[Pit (character)|Pit]], [[Dark Pit]], [[Wii Fit Trainer]], and [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s [[Ivysaur]], while having the same weight as Roy, [[Pac-Man]], and Robin.

===Appearances in other ''Super Mario''-related media===
====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''====
Chrom appears as a non-playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'' as part of Robin's [[Final Smash]], [[Robin#Pair Up|Pair Up]]. When the move is used, Chrom appears and dashes forward, sending any opponents in his way into the air. Chrom and Robin then both follow up with a series of attacks culminating with a downward blow that launches opponents. Chrom also appears as a collectible [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] and an online profile icon, and occasionally appears alongside Robin in their victory pose.

Originally, [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] director [[Masahiro Sakurai]] [[List of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U pre-release and unused content#Characters|considered]] adding Chrom as a playable character, but felt he didn't possess any unique characteristics and would be too similar to other sword-wielding fighters such as [[Marth]] and [[Ike]].<ref>McFerran, D. (July 17, 2014).

Retrieved August 9, 2018.</ref> This is referenced in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' in the [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|Palutena's Guidance conversation]] for Robin, in which Chrom makes a guest appearance.

{{quote|Bring it on!|Ken Masters|Super Smash Bros. Ultimate}}
'''Ken Masters''' is one of the central characters of [[Capcom]]'s ''{{wp|Street Fighter}}'' series. He is the best friend and rival to [[Ryu]] and uses improved Shoryuken ki techniques to fight. He has made crossover appearances in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series.

<div class="contentbox mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"data-expandtext="Show history"data-collapsetext="Hide history">
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Ken (SSBU)}}
Ken appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', as an unlockable character and an Echo Fighter to Ryu. He shares many similarities to Ryu, though he has multiple gameplay differences, including multiple entirely different moves (e.g. side smash attack, neutral air attack, up air attack, Final Smash etc.), and he moves slightly faster. His Shoryuken and Tatsumaki Senpukyaku can hit multiple times unlike Ryu's variants, and his Hadoken is shaped differently while also having a graphic of his hands displayed within. Additionally, he can perform two unique command-input moves that Ryu cannot perform, though Ken cannot perform the Shakunetsu Hadoken. He shares his debut trailer with [[Incineroar]]. In said trailer, Ken, on the [[Boxing Ring]] stage, successfully KOs [[Little Mac]], before being knocked out himself by Incineroar.
Some of Ken's standard moves have nicknames: standard attack is Inazuma Kick; tapped and held down tilts are Light Ankle Kick and Heavy Ankle Kick, respectively; and back throw is Hell Wheel.

As a somewhat heavy fighter, Ken's weight is equal to that of Ryu, while he is lighter than [[Link]], [[Yoshi]], [[Captain Falcon]], [[Min Min]], and [[Mii Gunner]], but heavier than [[Mega Man]].

'''Ridley''' is a high-ranking member of the [[metroidwiki:Space Pirate|Space Pirates]], and one of the main villains in the [[metroidwiki:Metroid (series)|''Metroid'' series]] of video games. He is directly responsible for the murder of [[Samus Aran]]'s [[metroidwiki:Virginia Aran|mother]] and partially responsible for the death of [[metroidwiki:Rodney Aran|her father]]. In several instances, Ridley appears as an upgraded cybernetic version of himself called '''Meta Ridley'''. In addition to the ''Metroid'' series, Ridley has made an appearance in all games in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] (aside from ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]''), as well as in ''[[Nintendo Land]]'' in animatronic form.

{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Ridley (SSBU)}}
[[File:Ridley SSBU E3 2018.png|thumb|Ridley in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]
[[File:Meta Ridley SSBU.png|thumb|left|Meta Ridley variant]]
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Ridley is a playable character for the first time, announced during the E3 2018 Nintendo Direct alongside fellow newcomers [[Inkling]] and [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]]. His appearance in this game seems to primarily be based off of that in ''[[metroidwiki:Super Metroid|Super Metroid]]'', while he has a similar size to his appearance in the original ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid (game)|Metroid]]''. His [[Final Smash]] involves him slamming an opponent or opponents against Samus's [[Gunship]] and shooting plasma at the ship; the falling gunship can be seen in the background after the attack. Two of his alternate costumes swap him out for Meta Ridley (although he is still referred to in-game as simply "Ridley").

Ridley does not share a victory theme with Samus, instead using an intense and sinister variation of the ''Metroid'' victory theme; the flourish itself is shared with [[Dark Samus]], and this trait is shared with fellow newcomers [[Chrom]], [[King K. Rool]], and [[Piranha Plant]], as well as several veterans, namely [[Meta Knight]], [[Bowser]], [[Bowser Jr.]] (and the [[Koopalings]]), [[Rosalina]] & [[Luma]], [[Dark Pit]], [[Robin]], [[Lucina]], and [[Corrin]].

In his reveal trailer, "A Piercing Screech" Mario, Mega Man, and Samus Aran are traversing through a mechanical room on a walkway. Ridley stealthily takes Mega Man and Mario out by impaling the former with his tail and crushing the latter's head. Samus eventually senses something amiss and points her arm cannon behind her, only to find Mario's discarded hat. Suddenly, the walkway quakes with Ridley bursting out from underneath and knocking a shocked Samus off her feet. Ridley then proceeds to roar before giving an inhuman smirk as he twirls Mario's hat around his finger. In the ending of the trailer, Ridley, after presumably causing a blaze to kill Samus, is flapping his wings only to glare in slight irritation when Zero Suit Samus uses her Jet Boots to leap from the blaze and descend down to attack him.

Ridley is a heavy fighter, being heavier than [[Solid Snake|Snake]], [[R.O.B.]], and [[Banjo]] & [[Kazooie]] but lighter than Samus, Bowser Jr. (and the Koopalings), Dark Samus, and [[Terry Bogard|Terry]], while having the same weight as [[Wario]], [[Ike]], [[Simon Belmont|Simon]], and [[Richter Belmont|Richter]].

Ridley's stock artwork in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' resembles [[:File:SSB4 - Bowser Artwork.png|Bowser's stock artwork]] from ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''Wii U''.

Ridley's splash screen introduction in his ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' reveal trailer, "Ridley Hits the Big Time!", may be a reference to [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ridley-is-too-big "Ridley is Too Big"], an Internet meme originating from arguments against Ridley being a playable character in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.

His appearance in ''Ultimate'' is the first game to directly showcase his more intelligent and cunning personality traits, as while various sources in both prior ''Smash'' games as well as his home franchise (most directly in the [[metroidwiki:Metroid (manga)|''Metroid'' manga]]) strongly implied that he possessed these traits, they were not immediately apparent in his characterization in the games, where he is generally portrayed as simply a monster.

A [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] of Ridley can also be obtained in this game. Ridley's trophies in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' both state that he is the head of the Space Pirates on Zebes. This is false, however, with the real head being [[Mother Brain]] as well as Space Pirate Command.

[[File:SSBB Ridley Battle.png|thumb|left|Ridley fighting Samus, in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'']]
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Ridley is fought twice in the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary]].

The first time he is encountered, he is fought by Samus and [[Pikachu]]. As the two reach the exit to [[The Research Facility]], where her Power Suit had been held, Ridley appears without warning and snatches up Samus. Roaring, he slams her into a wall and drags her along it. Pikachu comes to Samus's rescue, hitting the space dragon with a [[Pikachu#Thunder|Thunder]] attack, after which the battle begins. Ridley fights similarly to [[Master Hand]], using many brutal physical attacks. When he is defeated, he falls off the arena.

[[File:Meta Ridley.jpg|thumb|Meta Ridley fighting [[Diddy Kong]]]]
He later reappears as '''Meta Ridley''', attacking a group including [[Captain Falcon]], [[Captain Olimar]], [[R.O.B.]], [[Samus Aran]], [[Pikachu]], [[Diddy Kong]], and [[Donkey Kong]] as they try to escape the floating [[Isle of the Ancients]] before it is engulfed in [[Subspace (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|subspace]].

As this battle is fought while trying to escape an island, there is a set time limit of two minutes that the player has to defeat Meta Ridley, who is more difficult to beat than Ridley was. Additionally, there is the added difficulty of the battle taking place on top of Captain Falcon's ship, the Falcon Flyer, so it is possible for the player to fall off the edge and lose.

Meta Ridley uses some of the same attacks as Ridley did, such as scraping his tail across the top of the Flyer and firing fireballs, but also shows additional ones that involve grabbing the Falcon Flyer and lowering it down with his weight, sometimes even lowering it off of the screen. Fortunately, most of Meta Ridley's attacks can be avoided by jumping off the Falcon Flyer at the right time. Meta Ridley's fireballs can also be reflected right back at him. Due to the time limit that is given during the Meta Ridley battle, [[Trophy Stand]]s will appear more frequently, especially on the easier skill levels.

If the player manages to defeat Meta Ridley, a cutscene is shown, and the Falcon Flyer escapes while the island is engulfed into subspace.

Both fights are reprised in [[The Great Maze]] with any characters that have been rescued throughout the Subspace Emissary. He is also fought in the Boss Battles game mode. There is no time limit when fighting Meta Ridley in either The Great Maze or in Boss Battles mode.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', Ridley is a stage hazard [[List of bosses|boss]] on the [[Pyrosphere (stage)|Pyrosphere]] stage. His physical appearance, like Samus's, is based on his appearance from ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid: Other M|Metroid: Other M]]''. Once attacked enough by a player, Ridley allies with that player, and attacks the other players. He can also transform into Meta Ridley by absorbing enough energy. He can be defeated, and, as if he was a character, defeating him rewards the player with a K.O. point; he can be defeated by his own ally as well.<ref name="Smash Wii U Direct">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0BBGzfw0pQ&list=UUGIY_O-8vW4rfX98KlMkvRg Wii U - Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 50-Fact Extravaganza].

[[File:Simon Belmont SSBU.png|thumb|200px|Simon in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]
{{quote|I've vanquished the darkness!|Simon Belmont|Super Smash Bros. Ultimate}}
'''Simon Belmont''' is a protagonist from Konami's ''{{wp|Castlevania}}'' video game series, debuting in its very first entry. He crosses over with characters from the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] in episodes of ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]'' and again in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. His descendant, [[Richter Belmont]], also appears in the latter as his Echo Fighter.

<div class="contentbox mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"data-expandtext="Show history"data-collapsetext="Hide history">
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Simon (SSBU)}}
Simon makes his ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' debut in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' as a third-party playable character, alongside fellow Konami characters [[Solid Snake]] and Richter Belmont. He was announced to be playable in the game during the August 2018 ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' Direct, alongside fellow newcomers Richter, [[Chrom]], [[Dark Samus]], and [[King K. Rool]].

Simon's various attacks involve him using his "Vampire Killer" whip. His special attacks are Axe, an axe that is a powerful projectile; Holy Water, a magical, multi-hitting projectile dealing flame damage; Cross, a projectile with boomerang-esque properties; and Uppercut, a powerful uppercut that functions as Simon's recovery move. His Final Smash, Grand Cross, involves trapping players in a coffin and destroying it. Simon's whip is long-ranged, being effective to use from far distances. Simon's forward, back, and up aerials also function as tether recoveries, making them useful for recovering when close to an edge.

{{wp|Keith Silverstein}}, Simon's English voice actor in ''{{wp|Castlevania: Judgment}}'', reprises his role as Simon. {{wp|Hideo Ishikawa}}, who voiced Simon in ''DreamMix TV World Fighters'', also reprises the role in the Japanese version.

In his debut trailer, he arrives at [[Dracula's Castle]] and eliminates Death shortly after the latter killed [[Luigi]]. He later confronts [[Dracula]] himself but is nearly defeated, only to be saved by his descendant Richter.<ref> Nintendo (August 8, 2018). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Awl4L0yVdkg Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct 8.8.2018] ''YouTube''. Retrieved August 8, 2018</ref>

Similar to [[King Dedede]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and [[Lucina]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]] / [[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', Simon's name is announced differently in the Japanese version to reflect the pronunciation in that language. This trait is also shared with Richter and King K. Rool.

In the Adventure mode, Simon is seen standing near a cliff when he and the other fighters oppose [[Galeem]] for the first time. Although Simon is not shown to be hit by Galeem's beams directly, he, like every fighter except [[Kirby]], is imprisoned in the World of Light, where a Galeem-serving puppet fighter of him is created. Simon is later freed after his puppet fighter is defeated, and he subsequently joins Kirby's team against Galeem and later [[Dharkon]].

Simon is a heavy fighter, being heavier than Snake, [[R.O.B.]], and [[Banjo]] & [[Kazooie]] but lighter than [[Samus Aran|Samus]], [[Bowser Jr.]] (and the [[Koopalings]]), Dark Samus, and [[Terry Bogard|Terry]], while having the same weight as [[Wario]], [[Ike]], [[Ridley]], and Richter.

'''Richter Belmont''' is a character from Konami's ''{{wp|Castlevania}}'' video game series, and the descendant of [[Simon Belmont]], who debuted as the main protagonist of ''{{wp|Castlevania: Rondo of Blood}}''. Richter faces the resurrected [[Dracula]] in the year 1792, storming [[Dracula's Castle|Castlevania]] after the town of Aljiba was burned by Dracula's forces and innocent maidens were kidnapped, including Richter's girlfriend Annette. He is a playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Richter (SSBU)}}
Richter makes his ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' debut in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' as a third-party character. He appears alongside fellow Konami characters [[Solid Snake]] and Simon Belmont, Sega's [[Sonic|Sonic the Hedgehog]], [[Bayonetta]], and [[Joker]], Capcom's [[Mega Man]], [[Ryu]], and [[Ken Masters]], Bandai Namco's [[Pac-Man]], Square Enix's [[Cloud Strife]] and [[Hero]], Microsoft's [[Banjo]] & [[Kazooie]], and SNK's [[Terry Bogard]]. He and Simon were confirmed to be in the game via a Nintendo Direct that took place on August 8th, 2018. Richter is voiced in English by {{wp|David Vincent (actor)|David Vincent}}, reprising his role from previous ''Castlevania'' titles, including ''{{wp|Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin|Portrait of Ruin}}'', ''{{wp|Castlevania: Harmony of Despair|Harmony of Despair}}'', and ''The Dracula X Chronicles''<ref>[https://twitter.com/davidvincentva/status/1027644213851246592 Tweet by David Vincent]</ref>; and in Japanese by {{wp|Kiyoyuki Yanada}}, his voice actor in ''{{wp|Castlevania: Symphony of the Night|Symphony of the Night}}''.

Richter is classified as an Echo Fighter of Simon, with his moveset and animations being based directly on Simon's (although the two actually take inspiration from each other), making him the first third-party Echo Fighter and the only one of a newcomer instead of a veteran fighter. Richter's special attacks are Axe, an ax that is a powerful projectile; Holy Water, a multi-hitting projectile, with a blue flame that does aura damage instead of an orange burning one that does flame damage; Cross, a projectile with boomerang-esque properties; and Uppercut, a powerful uppercut that functions as his recovery move. Richter's Final Smash, Grand Cross, is functionally identical to Simon's identically-named Final Smash.

In Simon's debut trailer, he saves his ancestor Simon from Dracula's attack, and shouts a variant of his famous line from ''{{wp|Castlevania: Symphony of the Night}}'' (quoted above), "Die monster. You don't belong in this world!"

Similar to [[King Dedede]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and [[Lucina]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', Richter's name is announced differently in the Japanese version to reflect the pronunciation in that language. This trait is also shared with Simon and [[King K. Rool]].

'''Incineroar''' is a [[bulbapedia:Fire (type)|Fire]]/[[bulbapedia:Dark (type)|Dark]]-type [[Bulbapedia:Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] that debuted in [[Bulbapedia:Pokémon Sun and Moon|''Pokémon Sun'' and ''Pokémon Moon'']]. It is the final evolution of [[bulbapedia:Litten (Pokémon)|Litten]], evolving from [[bulbapedia:Torracat (Pokémon)|Torracat]] beginning at level 34. In the English version of ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Incineroar is voiced by [[Bulbapedia:H.D. Quinn|H.D. Quinn]], who has done voiceovers for the ''Pokémon Sun'' and ''Moon'' anime. In the Japanese version, Incineroar is voiced by {{wp|Unshō Ishizuka}}, who died about four months before the release of ''Ultimate''.

<div class="contentbox mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"data-expandtext="Show history"data-collapsetext="Hide history">
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Incineroar (SSBU)}}
Incineroar appears as an unlockable playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Its debut trailer was paired with [[Ken Masters]]'s trailer, where the two briefly fight on the [[Boxing Ring]] stage. Prior to openly revealing itself, it also briefly wore a white hoodie when attacking Ken. Incineroar is unique in that it poses after performing a special move, though these poses can be canceled at any point and thus do not affect the fight.

In an interview with ''Nintendo Dream'', [[Masahiro Sakurai]] revealed that during the development of ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Decidueye was almost chosen as the new Pokémon fighter, but Incineroar was chosen instead, with Sakurai stating that he wanted to include a professional wrestler character.<ref>[https://twitter.com/PushDustIn/status/1087124581867958273 PushDustIn on Twitter: "Sakurai confirms in an interview: Decidueye was almost chosen for the new Pokémon spot"]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/AllSourceGaming/status/1062726902341746691 Source Gaming on Twitter: "Sakurai wanted to pick a newcomer to represent content from a newer game. With Ultra Sun and Moon, a Pokémon 'slot' was left opened. Eventually after some consideration, they went with Incineroar. Sakurai says he wanted to try making a pro wrestler...."]</ref>

Incineroar is a super heavyweight fighter (being heavier than [[Kazuya Mishima|Kazuya]] but lighter than [[Ganondorf]], while having the same weight as [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s [[Charizard]]) with highly powerful attacks, yet very sluggish mobility to boot. In fact, Incineroar is notorious for having the slowest walking and dashing speeds in the game. Like [[Sonic|Sonic the Hedgehog]], Charizard, and [[Inkling]], Incineroar receives minor damage while swimming, seemingly as a reference to its weakness to Water-type Pokémon in the ''Pokémon'' series. Fittingly, the overwhelming majority of Incineroar's attacks consist of professional wrestling moves, extending to its special moves.

Incineroar's neutral special move is Darkest Lariat, which involves it performing a series of discus lariats that can block projectiles. Its side special is Alolan Whip, in which it lunges at an opponent in order to Irish whip them into wrestling ring ropes and, depending on when the special button is pressed, subsequently perform a lariat, a back body drop, or collide with the opponent. Incineroar's up special is Cross Chop, which has it leap vertically into the air and descend diagonally to perform a cross chop that causes a small explosion upon hitting a surface. Lastly, its down special is Revenge, a type of counterattack that makes Incineroar receive minor damage in exchange for retaliating with a small burst of flame and making its next attack much stronger.

{{quote|This is Joker. The mission is go.|Joker|"Take Your Heart" trailer for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate}}
'''Joker''' (whose real name is given as '''Ren Amamiya''' in the games and anime and as '''Akira Kurusu''' in the manga) is the protagonist of ''{{wp|Persona 5}}'', a {{wp|PlayStation 3}} and {{wp|PlayStation 4}} title from the ''{{wp|Megami Tensei}}'' franchise's spin-off ''{{wp|Persona (series)|Persona}}'' series. In his game of origin, he is a Japanese high school student in his day life; however, he also has the power to access an alternate version of the world called the Metaverse. In said universe, Joker leads the Phantom Thieves, a group of teenagers who alter the psyche of corrupted souls to steal their hearts. Joker and his companions have the ability to summon Personas, which are manifestations of their respective psyches that possess special powers and are based on mythological figures. Joker's only appearance to date alongside ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise characters has been in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', where he was made available in Challenger Pack 1 as the first Fighters Pass DLC fighter.

<div class="contentbox mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"data-expandtext="Show history"data-collapsetext="Hide history">
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Joker (SSBU)}}
[[File:Joker intro.png|thumb|left|Joker's splash screen introduction.]]
During {{wp|The Game Awards 2018}}, it was revealed that Joker would be appearing as a paid downloadable playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyDFRZGrM8Q Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - Persona 5 Joker DLC Official Trailer | The Game Awards 2018] GameSpot.</ref> He is the second DLC fighter (with [[Piranha Plant]] being the first), and the first one in the first Fighters Pass, releasing as part of "Challenger Pack 1". Challenger Pack 1, including Joker, the [[Mementos]] stage, and music from the ''Persona'' series, was released on April 17, 2019 (PST).<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmuTGcbu4Kc Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – New Content Approaching – Nintendo Switch]</ref> Joker is classified as fighter #71.

Aside from being able to wall jump, Joker has a special mechanic known as the "Rebellion Gauge", which is a meter that slowly fills up either over time, when taking damage or when Joker is behind his opponents in score/stocks, and fills up faster when he is attacked when using his down special, Rebel's Guard (as well as halving the damage taken). When this meter fills completely, Joker will summon the Persona Arsene, who assists him in battle by attacking in tandem with him, increasing the power and range of his standard moves. Joker's special moves are also enhanced, and his down special changes to Tetrakarn and Makarakarn. When Arsene is present in battle, Joker's render in-game and in the HUD will have his mask (or glasses in his alternate costume) removed. If Joker gets KO'd, the gauge will reset.

The player can choose to play as six color variations of Joker's Phantom Thief outfit wearing his mask, as well as two versions of his Shujin Academy uniform wearing his glasses. The purple, blue, yellow, and red costumes are references to the thematic colors of ''Revelations: Persona'', ''Persona 3'', ''Persona 4'', and ''Persona 5'' respectively, while his white Shujin Academy uniform reflects the color of his summer uniform. His victory screen mimics the one from ''Persona 5'', with the color of the screen changing to match the current colors of the stage Mementos if Joker were to win on that stage. If Joker wins the match with his Final Smash, the splash screen that appears at the end of the move will carry over to the victory screen. He is one of the lighter middleweight fighters, being heavier than the [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Melee#Ice Climbers|Ice Climbers]], [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Lucario|Lucario]], [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Wolf O'Donnell|Wolf]], [[Villager]], [[#Steve|Steve]], and [[#Mythra|Mythra]], but lighter than [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Melee#Ness|Ness]], [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Lucas]], [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U#Mii Brawler|Mii Brawler]], and [[Inkling]].

Joker shares his English voice actor, {{wp|Xander Mobus}}, with the game's announcer, [[Master Hand]], and [[Crazy Hand]], as well as sharing his Japanese voice actor, {{wp|Jun Fukuyama}}, with [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Melee#Roy|Roy]]. He is the only playable character in the series to be voiced by the announcer.

After [[Sonic|Sonic the Hedgehog]] and [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U#Bayonetta|Bayonetta]], Joker is the third guest fighter to represent [[Sega]], as {{wp|Atlus}}, the developer of the ''Persona'' series, was acquired by {{wp|Sega Sammy Holdings}} in 2013.

Joker appears as two DLC fighter [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirits]], depicting him in his Phantom Thief outfit and his Shujin Academy uniform, respectively. The former spirit is obtained by completing Classic Mode as Joker, while the latter can be purchased from the shop if Challenger Pack 1 has been downloaded. Being the leader of the group, Joker also appears in the artwork for the Phantom Thieves of Hearts spirit (which is also DLC), as well as in the associated spirit battle.

====Classic Mode route====
The route's title references Shadows, recurring enemies in the ''Persona'' series. The second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth rounds each feature an opponent from the previous round as an ally; this could be a reference to Shadows being able to join the player's party as Personas in ''Persona 5''. Joker is the one of three characters who face Master Hand and Crazy Hand as their final boss on the Ω form of a stage different from [[Final Destination]], the other two being [[Donkey Kong]] on [[New Donk City Hall (stage)|New Donk City Hall]] and [[#Sephiroth|Sephiroth]] on [[Northern Cave]].

[[File:Luminary SSBU.png|thumb|200px|The Hero in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]
{{quote|The Hero Draws Near!|Introduction tagline|"Heroic Encounter" trailer for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate}}
The '''Hero''' is a title assigned to various main playable characters in the [[dragonquest:Dragon Quest (series)|''Dragon Quest'']] series. Their background, appearance, skills, and roles of the heroes vary between the games, as they are all unique characters from one another. 

Four of these heroes appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a singular downloadable character.<ref name=HeroSakurai>Nintendo (July 30, 2019). "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciLEX04BVFM Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – Mr. Sakurai Presents “Hero”]". ''YouTube''. Retrieved July 30, 2019.</ref> Each one of the four appears as a selectable costume for the character, with the default choice being the protagonist from ''[[dragonquest:Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age|Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age]]''.

===Naming===
In the Hero's gameplay showcase for ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', [[Masahiro Sakurai]] assigned each one a different nickname to differentiate between them. Their names are as follows:
<center>
<gallery>
Luminary SSBU.png|'''[[dragonquest:Hero (Dragon Quest XI)|Eleven]] (also called Luminary)'''<br>(default)
Erdrick SSBU.png|'''[[dragonquest:Hero (Dragon Quest III)|Arusu]] (also called Erdrick)'''
Solo SSBU.png|'''[[dragonquest:Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|Solo]]'''
Eight SSBU.png|'''[[dragonquest:Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|Eight]]'''
</gallery>
</center>
They all represent a hero from a different ''Dragon Quest'' series game. Their origins are as follows:
*Eleven is from ''[[dragonquest:Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age|Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age]]''. Though he is officially known as the '''Luminary''' in his origin game, his nickname "Eleven" stems from the fact his game is the eleventh in the series.
*Arusu is from ''[[dragonquest:Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation|Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation]]''. Within the ''Dragon Quest'' franchise and fanbase, he is commonly referred to as '''Erdrick'''.
*Solo is from ''[[dragonquest:Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen|Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen]]'', which is his default name in the game. 
*Eight is from ''[[dragonquest:Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King|Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King]]''. His name stems from the fact his game is the eighth in the series.
Despite this, their nicknames are not used in-game at all; all menu screens and the announcer refer to all four incarnations of the character as "Hero". Their [[spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] also refers to them as Hero, with their origin game in parenthesis.

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Hero (SSBU)}}
During the E3 2019 Nintendo Direct on June 11, 2019 (PST), both the heroes of ''Dragon Quest'' and [[Banjo]] & [[Kazooie]] were announced as DLC fighters for ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', with the former set to release during the summer of 2019 (PST) as the second fighter in the first Fighters Pass (as well as the third downloadable fighter overall), included within Challenger Pack 2. In a similar vein to [[Pokémon Trainer]], [[Villager]], [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U#Wii Fit Trainer|Wii Fit Trainer]], [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U#Robin|Robin]], [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Olimar|Olimar]] and [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Olimar|Alph]], [[Bowser Jr.]] and the [[Koopalings]], [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U#Corrin|Corrin]], and [[Inkling]], Eleven is the default skin for the character, while Asuru, Solo, and Eight can be chosen as alternative costumes. They all use a sword and shield, similar to [[Link]], [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Melee#Young Link|Young Link]] and [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Toon Link|Toon Link]], and have access to magical abilities from their series, such as [[dragonquest:Sizzle|Sizzle]]. Many of their basic attacks use sword jabs and swings, with their shield able to block projectile attacks. Their magical attacks are limited by their MP gauge (which fills up over time or attack to fills its). [[Slime (Dragon Quest)|Slime]] also appear alongside them during taunts. With the notable exception of Command Selection, Hero's special moves switch between three types of magical attacks depending on the charge level and costs higher amount of MP when charged for longer, much like Robin's Thunder. Hero's down special move, Command Selection, instead has him choosing a variety of four randomly selected spells from a pop-up menu similar to the one from the original game. Regarding weight, Hero is one of the lighter heavyweights, being lighter than [[Mega Man]] but heavier than [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U#Mii Swordfighter|Mii Swordfighter]] and [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U#Cloud Strife|Cloud]]. Challenger Pack 2, including Hero, the [[Yggdrasil's Altar]] stage, and music from the ''Dragon Quest'' series, was released on July 30, 2019 (PST)<ref name=HeroSakurai/>. The Hero is classified as fighter #72.

In Hero's reveal trailer, Link is shown dueling puppet fighters of [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Melee#Marth|Marth]] and [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Meta Knight|Meta Knight]], both of whom were created by [[Dharkon]]. Link is overpowered by both puppet fighters, who prepare to rush him for a final hit. However, throughout their battle, a horse is galloping towards Link and the puppet fighters. When the Marth and Meta Knight puppet fighters are about to attack Link one more time, the Hero - revealed to be Eleven - attacks from behind, knocking away the puppet fighters from Link. Several gameplay clips of Eleven are shown: Eleven is KOing opponents at first, but is later KO'd himself several times. The gameplay cuts back to CGI, showing Dharkon's puppet fighter army cornering a weakened Eleven. Asuru, Solo, and Eight join to assist Eleven, where all four Heroes rush towards the puppet fighter army. Gameplay footage of all four Heroes is shown, where they all work together to KO their opponents. The Hero's trailer ends with Asuru using his Final Smash.

Each of the heroes has a palette swap that references another character or class from the series: Eleven's is based on [[Angelo]], Arusu's is based on the [[dragonquest:Hero (Dragon Quest V)|hero]] of ''[[dragonquest:Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride|Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride]]'', Solo's is based on the [[dragonquest:Hero (Dragon Quest)|hero]] of ''[[dragonquest:Dragon Quest|Dragon Quest]]'', and Eight's is based on [[dragonquest:Terry|Terry]] from ''[[dragonquest:Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation|Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation]]''.

The hero, Arusu, also has his own [[Mii Fighter]] [[List of Mii Fighter Outfits|outfit]] and [[List of Mii Headgear|headgear]] (called Erdrick's Armor and Erdrick's Helmet, respectively) that Mii Fighters can don. The outfit is exclusive to Mii Swordfighters, while the helmet can be worn by any Mii Fighter class.

The Hero is the second fighter from [[Square Enix]]; following Cloud and preceding [[#Sephiroth|Sephiroth]] and [[#Sora|Sora]]. The Hero is the first third-party character to have other characters from the same series as alternate costumes in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] before [[Steve (Minecraft)|Steve]].

====Classic Mode route====
Aside from the final round, all matches in Hero's Classic Mode route are Stamina battles.

{{quote|Hey, come on!|Terry|"–Breaking News– The Challenger" trailer for [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]}} 
'''Terry Bogard''' is one of the main characters of {{wp|SNK}}'s ''{{wp|Fatal Fury}}'' series, as well as the company's crossover series, ''{{wp|The King of Fighters}}'', first appearing in ''{{wp|Fatal Fury: King of Fighters}}''. He is one of SNK's most iconic characters, leading to his numerous appearances and roles in other fighting games.

<div class="contentbox mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"data-expandtext="Show history"data-collapsetext="Hide history">
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Terry (SSBU)}}
During the September 2019 Nintendo Direct, Terry was announced to appear as a DLC fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', being included in Challenger Pack 4 of the first Fighters Pass and thus being the fifth downloadable fighter overall for the game.<ref>[https://youtu.be/8TVE44feo_I?t=514 Nintendo Direct, September 4, 2019]</ref> His in-game design resembles his appearance in the older ''The King of Fighters'' games throughout the 1990s, while his animations during matches appear to be based off of his animations in ''{{wp|The King of Fighters XII}}'' and ''{{wp|The King of Fighters XIII}}''. He was released along with the 6.0 update on November 6th, 2019 (PST).

In a similar vein to [[Ryu]] and [[Ken Masters|Ken]], Terry always faces his opponent in 1-on-1 battles, allowing him to walk backwards; however, he can still dash in any direction. Unlike Ryu and Ken, Terry sports inputs only for his special moves, though he has more inputs for said moves than the ''Street Fighter'' characters. Terry sports a unique comeback mechanic: once his damage percentage reaches 100% in Timed and Stock Battles, or he has 30% or less of his health in a Stamina Battle (indicated by a "Go" icon next to his portrait), he gains access to two "Super Special Moves" called Power Geyser and Buster Wolf. Terry has a somewhat slow walking speed, but he sports an average dashing speed and a high overall damage output. He is a heavyweight fighter, and specifically heavier than [[Ike]], [[Wario]], [[Ridley]], [[Simon Belmont|Simon]], and [[Richter Belmont|Richter]], lighter than [[Piranha Plant]], and weighing as much as [[Samus Aran|Samus]], [[Dark Samus]], and [[Bowser Jr.]] (and the [[Koopalings]]).

Unlike most of the other fighters and much like [[Mega Man]] and [[Wii Fit Trainer]], the majority of Terry's standard attacks (barring his grab, pummel, edge attack, and floor attacks) are named in reference to his moveset from his home series. Standard attack is Jab, Body Blow, High Kick; tilt attacks are Middle Kick, Rising Upper, and Under Kick respectively; dash attack is Power Charge; smash attacks are Backspin Kick, Wild Upper, and Slide Kick respectively; aerial attacks are Chop, Jump Kick, Jump Backward Kick, Somersault Kick, and Jump Karate Punch respectively; forward and back throws are both Buster Throw; and up and down throws are Grasping Upper and Neck Breaker Drop respectively.

During Terry's reveal trailer, several references to various SNK properties are shown in a series of "fake-out" attempts to receive the invitation. In order:
*The spinning letter with an "S" (for [[Masahiro Sakurai|Sakurai]] or ''Smash'') emblazoned on its seal is a reference to {{wp|Rugal Bernstein}}'s R-sealed letters from ''The King of Fighters'', particularly ''{{wp|The King of Fighters '94}}''. The hand of the main protagonist of ''The King of Fighters'', {{wp|Kyo Kusanagi}}, is briefly shown attempting to grab it like in that game, but unlike the actual game, he fails to do so.
*{{wp|Ryo Sakazaki}} of ''{{wp|Art of Fighting (video game)|Art of Fighting}}'' is shown immediately after, using graphics from his own series' cutscenes as he unsuccessfully swipes at the letter.
*{{wp|Andy Bogard}} and {{wp|Joe Higashi}}, the other two playable characters in ''{{wp|Fatal Fury: King of Fighters}}'' are then shown fighting over the letter.
*{{wp|Geese Howard}}, Terry's nemesis, then attempts to grab the letter only to fall from his penthouse, parodying his death in the ending of ''Fatal Fury''.
*{{wp|Nakoruru}} of ''{{wp|Samurai Shodown}}'' is then shown attempting to grab it via her hawk, Mamahaha.
*{{wp|Iori Yagami}} of ''The King of Fighters'' games starting from ''{{wp|The King of Fighters '95}}'' then makes a slight attempt to grab it and, upon failing to do so, proceeds to perform his signature maniacal laugh.
*In the end, when Terry picks up the letter, his hand uses the sprite from his ending in ''{{wp|Real Bout Fatal Fury}}'' where he unsuccessfully attempts to rescue Geese from falling to his death. The sprite of Terry lifting the letter up in the air is edited from the intro cinematic of the same game.

Terry's Challenger Pack came with the most music tracks out of any DLC franchise in the overall ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, with 50 new songs being added to ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. Before Terry's release, [[Simon Belmont|Simon]] and [[Richter Belmont|Richter]] debuted with the most songs (34 songs) out of any newcomer introduced to ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.
{{br|left}}

====Classic Mode route====
All matches in Terry's Classic Mode route are Stamina battles, a trait shared only with Ryu's Classic Mode route. They are all made up of three characters with one trait in common, referencing how the teams in the ''King of Fighters'' series are set up.

{{quote|Byleth Recruits... Byleth!|Splash screen text (female)|"The Ashen Demon" trailer for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate}}
'''Byleth''' is the main character of ''[[fireemblem:Fire Emblem: Three Houses|Fire Emblem: Three Houses]]'', acting as the avatar character similar to [[Robin]] and [[Corrin]] before them. In ''Fire Emblem: Three Houses'', they are a professor at the [[fireemblem:Garreg Mach Monastery|Officers Academy]] at the [[Garreg Mach Monastery]], teaching one of the game's three titular houses (either the [[fireemblem:Black Eagles|Black Eagles]], led by [[fireemblem:Edelgard|Edelgard von Hresvelg]], the [[fireemblem:Blue Lions|Blue Lions]], led by [[fireemblem:Dimitri|Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd]], or the [[fireemblem:Golden Deer|Golden Deer]], led by [[fireemblem:Claude|Claude von Riegan]]), with the player's choice influencing the direction of the story. Byleth is capable of wielding a variety of weapons, including their main weapon, the [[fireemblem:Sword of the Creator|Sword of the Creator]].

<div class="contentbox mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"data-expandtext="Show history"data-collapsetext="Hide history">
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Byleth (SSBU)}}
Byleth was confirmed as a playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as the fifth and final downloadable fighter of the first Fighters Pass during a presentation on January 16, 2020, being released on January 28, 2020.<ref name=BylethSakurai>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aqVlLlKkcg Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – Mr. Sakurai Presents "Byleth"]</ref> Like with Robin and Corrin before them, Byleth has a male and female variant. Two of each of their color palettes refer to [[fireemblem:Dimitri|Dimitri]] and [[fireemblem:Claude|Claude]] for the male variant and [[fireemblem:Edelgard|Edelgard]] and [[fireemblem:Sothis|Sothis]] for the female variant, and one other for both reference their mid-game hair color change.

All of Byleth's special moves revolve around the other legendary weapons of ''Three Houses''. Their up special results in their sword extending into a whip, able to grab ledges and other characters similar to [[Joker]]'s up special, though Byleth is able to jump off of the character, and is capable of spiking them downward if the opponent is at high enough damage. Byleth's standard special is the bow Failnaught, which acts much like [[Link]]'s Bow, getting stronger the longer is it charged. Byleth's side special uses the lance Areadbhar, which is extended with a hard thrust that deals more damage at the tip, and can also be angled. Byleth's down special uses the axe Aymr, which is a strong, but slow, overhead swing attack that deals great damage to opponents, and provides Byleth with super armor. Their [[Final Smash]] is called Progenitor God Ruptured Heaven, which is an "upgraded" variant of the [[fireemblem:Ruptured Heaven|Ruptured Heaven]] skill in ''Three Houses'', where Byleth calls upon Sothis to attack opponents. Byleth utilizes each of their weapons depending on their attacks: the Sword of the Creator for standard attack, tilt attacks, up smash, and up aerial; Failnaught for standard aerial; Areadbhar for forward smash, and forward and back aerials; and Aymr for down smash and down aerial.

Byleth has average weight, being heavier than [[Pit]], [[Wii Fit Trainer]], [[Dark Pit]], and [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s [[Ivysaur]], but lighter than [[Mario]], [[Dr. Mario]], [[Corrin]], and [[Pyra]], while having the same weight as [[Luigi]] and [[Shulk]].

By purchasing Byleth, players will also get the stage [[Garreg Mach Monastery]], which is a transitioning stage that moves between four locations. Additional music from ''Three Houses'' is also included.

Byleth is the only member of the first Fighters Pass owned by Nintendo, as well as the only one from an already represented series, and the second DLC character in the game overall to be so, following [[Piranha Plant]] and preceding [[#Min Min|Min Min]] and [[#Pyra|Pyra]] / [[#Mythra|Mythra]]. Byleth is also the only fighter to have made their overall debut after the release of ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', having first appeared in 2019. Byleth is currently the only fighter in the franchise to have two taglines, largely because of both their being composed of two characters, and their technically having different names in Japan (the male Byleth being known as "Bereto" and the female Byleth being known as "Beresu").

====Classic Mode route====
Similarly to [[Lucina]] and [[Young Link]], Byleth's Classic Mode involves other ''Fire Emblem'' characters in the order their games of origin were released. Like with [[Ryu]] and [[Terry Bogard|Terry]], all matches in Byleth's Classic Mode route are Stamina battles.

{{quote|Wǒ ài lāmiàn! (I love ramen!)|Min Min|Super Smash Bros. Ultimate}}
'''Min Min''' is a fighter character originating from ''[[armswiki:ARMS (game)|ARMS]]'' for the [[Nintendo Switch]]. She is a martial artist who is one of few people in the world with [[armswiki:ARMS (extendable)|ARMS]], a phenomenon that causes the person's arms (or on some occasions, other body parts) to mutate into long, stretchy material. She battles in the [[armswiki:ARMS League|ARMS League]] to promote her family's ramen restaurant, Mintendo Noodle House.

<div class="contentbox mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"data-expandtext="Show history"data-collapsetext="Hide history">
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Min Min (SSBU)}}
On March 26, 2020, it was announced that the first DLC fighter from the Fighters Pass Vol. 2 for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' would be from ''ARMS'', although the identity of said representative would not be revealed until their release in June.<ref>Nintendo (March 26, 2020). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubRf4zyEvG4 Nintendo Direct Mini 3.26.20]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved June 30, 2020.</ref> On June 22, 2020, the representative was revealed to be Min Min, and it was announced that she would be released alongside [[Spring Stadium]] via an update available June 29, 2020.<ref>Nintendo (June 22, 2020). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_NNyXaBW-I Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – Mr. Sakurai Presents "Min Min"]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved June 30, 2020.</ref> Prior to her inclusion, Min Min also appeared as a [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] in the game. Min Min is the first character to already have a spirit before appearing as a fighter; she would later be followed in this by [[Pyra]] / [[Mythra]].

Min Min is a ranged fighter who utilizes her ARMS in combat. Her ARMS possess significant reach and lack hurtboxes, allowing Min Min to attack safely at a distance. However, Min Min's ARMS are burdened with sluggish attack speed and require precise aiming because of their hitboxes being located only on her ARMS' "fists". Like in ''ARMS'', Min Min also utilizes kicks as part of her moveset.

Min Min has three types of ARMS that she can use in battle, all of which can be swapped out (albeit for her right ARM only): [[armswiki:Ramram|Ramram]], a {{wp|chakram}} that is weak, yet very maneuverable; [[armswiki:Megawatt|Megawatt]], a large, studded metallic sphere that exchanges range and speed for considerable power; and [[armswiki:Dragon|Dragon]], which is fittingly shaped like a dragon's head and is effectively the middle ground between Ramram and Megawatt in regard to range, speed and power. Each of these ARMS also possess distinct secondary properties: sufficiently charging Ramram and Megawatt will result in them being set aflame and discharging electricity, respectively, whereas Dragon is capable of firing a short-ranged laser beam when the attack button is held, with the laser being further strengthened after being sufficiently charged. The Dragon ARM is Min Min's left ARM at all times and is uniquely capable of being powered up for approximately 20 seconds upon successfully throwing an opponent or while having access to her [[Final Smash]].

Uniquely, Min Min does not have a standard or side special move.<ref>Nintendo. [https://youtu.be/-agWiKRt6M8 The August 6, 2020 issue] of [[The Cat Mario Show]] (Japanese). ''YouTube''. Retrieved August 23, 2020.</ref> Instead, the attack button and special move button (when pressed alone or while tilting left or right) are assigned to her left and right ARMS respectively. If both buttons are pressed, Min Min can simultaneously attack with both ARMS. They both act like standard attacks, meaning Min Min can use a smash attack or initiate a multi-hit attack with the special move button. 

Min Min is one of the lighter heavyweights in the game, being lighter than [[Solid Snake|Snake]], [[R.O.B.]], and [[Banjo]] & [[Kazooie]], but heavier than [[Ryu]] and [[#Ken|Ken]], while having the same weight as [[Link]], [[Yoshi]], [[Captain Falcon]], and [[Mii Gunner]].

She also briefly appears in [[#Kazuya|Kazuya Mishima]]'s debut trailer, where the titular character tosses her into a lava flow, and also promptly kicks her ARM off the cliff when it still latches on.

Min Min is the first fighter in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' to have debuted in a Nintendo Switch game, as [[#Byleth|Byleth]] technically debuted in the mobile game ''[[fireemblem:Fire Emblem Heroes|Fire Emblem Heroes]]'' via an update. She would later be followed by Pyra / Mythra.

[[File:SSBU Steve.png|thumb|200px|Steve in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]
{{quote|Steve and Alex are two of the many incarnations of the player when they venture into the Minecraft world. Explore dungeons, create buildings, or trade with villagers–the adventure is in your hands!|[[smashwiki:Tips|Tips]]|Super Smash Bros. Ultimate}}
'''Steve''' is the name given to the default main player character and protagonist in ''[[Minecraft]]''; the female default skin playable character is '''Alex'''. Steve has dark brown hair, a cyan shirt, blue pants, grey shoes, and a dark, brownish pigmentation. Alex has long, red hair, a light green shirt, brown pants, grey boots, and a much lighter skin tone. Enemies in the game include a '''Zombie''' (a green-skinned version of Steve with no hair), and an '''Enderman''' (an entirely black humanoid-like figure with small, purple eyes, and skinny, tall legs). 

The game, ''Minecraft'', and its characters were created by independent video game developer company, [[minecraftwiki:Mojang Studios|Mojang Studios]], which was wholly purchased by {{wp|Xbox Game Studios}} in 2014. Steve, Alex, a Zombie, and an Enderman were all confirmed to be a playable character for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as downloadable content.

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Steve (SSBU)}}
On October 1st, 2020, Steve was revealed to be the second fighter of Fighter Pass Vol. 2 for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', with Alex as well as skins based off of the Zombie and Enderman mobs being alternate costumes for him.<ref>Super Smash Bros. (October 1, 2020). [https://youtu.be/90Jve_qWnpc Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - A New Seed! - Nintendo Switch]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved October 1, 2020.</ref> An additional video showing his moveset was presented on October 3rd, 2020,<ref>[https://youtu.be/_Sp5o1JJdDk Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – Mr. Sakurai Presents "Steve & Alex"]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved October 3, 2020.</ref> Steve was released on October 13th, 2020. The name on the character selection screen changes to "Alex", "Zombie", or "Enderman" while changing costumes for Steve, to reflect their differences, much like how [[Captain Olimar]] and [[Alph]] are the same character, but get identified separately. 

Steve's moveset is heavily based off of ''Minecraft'' in general (and especially that game's Survival Mode). Many of Steve's standard attacks use a sword, axe or pickaxe from the game; neutral attack and side tilt attack are quick sword swings, up tilt attack is a quick upward axe swing, dash attack is a running pickaxe swing, side smash attack is a slower but stronger sword swing, neutral air attack is a quick sword swing, forward air attack is a pickaxe swing that can [[smashwiki:meteor smash|meteor smash]], back air attack is a backward-facing pickaxe swing, and up air attack is a quick upward axe swing. Steve also has other standard attacks that do not use those tools; down tilt attack uses flint and steel to create a flame in front, up smash attack places a magma block above then breaks it, down smash attack uses a lava bucket to pour lava on both sides, down air attack places an anvil directly underneath which falls downward, and grab uses a fishing rod to grab an opponent. Steve's grab attack involves punching the grabbed opponent, forward throw places a piston which launches the opponent forward, backward throw tosses the opponent backward with a fishing rod, upward throw uses a piston to launch the opponent upward, and downward throw drops an anvil on the opponent. Steve's neutral special move is Mine / Craft / Create Block, which functions differently depending on Steve's position: when grounded, Steve uses a tool to mine for resources; when near a crafting table, Steve uses resources to craft tools; and in the air, Steve places a block directly underneath. Steve's side special move is Minecart, which has Steve summon a minecart and ride it; Steve can jump out of the minecart, and it can grab opponents after Steve has exited it. Steve's up special move is Elytra, which uses elytra wings to glide horizontally or vertically, with Steve briefly using firework rockets as well. Finally, Steve's down special move is TNT, with Steve placing a TNT block in front; after the TNT block has been placed, Steve can place a trail of redstone dust followed by a wooden pressure plate to create a redstone circuit which can detonate the TNT block itself.

Steve's [[Final Smash]] is called House of Boom, and it uses a large [[minecraftwiki:Piston|Piston]] that pushes the fighter into a dark room if made contact, locking them inside with [[minecraftwiki:Creeper|Creepers]], [[minecraftwiki:Zombie|Zombies]], and [[minecraftwiki:TNT|TNT]]. After the room explodes, Steve eats a [[minecraftwiki:Steak|steak]] upon successfully finishing his Final Smash.

Some of Steve's attacks use tools from the game, such as a sword, an axe, a shovel and a pickaxe. Said items can break over time from being used. A [[minecraftwiki:Crafting Table|Crafting Table]] will spawn in the background near Steve at the beginning of a match. Using his neutral special move, Steve can mine the ground for various resources. There is a limit to how many resources Steve can carry, so if he exceeds this limit, he will begin to ditch previous resources to make room for new ones. A gauge is present near the player's icon and damage at the bottom of the screen which shows Steve's current resource. The resources that Steve mines with his neutral special move will vary depending on the material of the stage that Steve is playing on. Steve can then walk over and use the Crafting Table and his mined materials to craft a full set of tools in addition to replenishing broken/damaged ones; when Steve crafts using the table, all of his tools get upgraded at the same time. The various types of tools in order of strength are wood, stone, iron, gold and diamond; gold is weaker and less durable than stone, iron and diamond, but attacks with golden tools are faster overall. The Crafting Table can be broken by any player's attacks (including Steve's own), but it will respawn after a few seconds. Steve can also summon his table near him at any time by pressing the special move button while shielding. If there are two or more Steves in a battle, they can all use one another's Crafting Tables.

Additional elements borrowed from ''Minecraft'' include Steve wielding a shield from the game if a perfect shield is performed. When Steve is put to sleep, he will sleep on one of the beds that can be crafted in the original game.

Steve's home stage is based off the various biomes from ''Minecraft'', and it is called [[Minecraft World]]. Villagers, Cows, Chickens, Sheep, Zombies, Skeletons and Endermen appear in the background of the stage (regardless if Zombie or Enderman are being controlled by a player), but they do not interact with the action.

Steve is one of the lighter middleweights, being heavier than [[Toon Link]] and [[Palutena]] but lighter than [[#Joker|Joker]], while having the same weight as the [[Ice Climbers]], [[Lucario]], [[Wolf O'Donnell|Wolf]], [[Villager]], and [[#Mythra|Mythra]].

Unlike other fighters who have spirits depicting their alternate costumes, Zombie and Enderman are not classified as Fighter Spirits and, therefore, cannot be switched to their ''Super Smash Bros.'' artwork.

In the version 9.0.1 update, Nintendo changed Steve's victory pose of him eating a piece of steak to finish eating all the steak due to the original pose having the steak unintentionally placed at his groin.<ref>Video by Matthew Kelly on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liPPEN6Y1EA "Steve's Victory Meat Patch Comparison (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)" on YouTube]. Retrieved October 22, 2020.</ref>

Steve is the first playable character that originated from an independent game, though Mojang is no longer considered an independent company after the Microsoft acquisition in 2014, making him the second Microsoft-owned playable character and the second playable character from a Western franchise added to ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''; [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] mark the first for both instances. However, the original Switch, Wii U, and New 3DS ports of the game were both developed and published independently by Mojang and 4J Studios.

====Classic Mode route====
Steve's opponents in his Classic Mode route reference various enemies in ''Minecraft''. All rounds except for rounds 2 and 6 are Stamina battles.

===Other appearances===
====''Minecraft''====
Steve is the default skin in all versions of ''Minecraft'', with Alex being the other default playable skin available from the start. Before being named Steve, the model for the human player was added to the first public release of Minecraft on May 13, 2009. The character of Steve originally came to be referred unofficially to as "Steve?" by the game's creator,<ref>Markus "Notch" Persson (November 22, 2010). [https://twitter.com/notch/status/6825860292157440 ''Twitter'']. Retrieved October 1, 2020.</ref> but it was not until the game's official release out of beta in 2011 that the name "Steve" was made official (dropping the question mark). The model for Steve in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' uses a version of his face with a beard that [[minecraftwiki:Java Edition Classic 0.24_SURVIVAL_TEST#Mobs 2|was removed]] from ''Minecraft'' since [[minecraftwiki:Java Edition Classic 0.24_SURVIVAL_TEST|Java Edition Classic 0.24]] released on September 1, 2009. Despite having been changed in-game for over a decade by the time of the DLC's release, this bearded version of Steve is still used in promotional artwork for ''Minecraft'', including its game cover. The beard on Steve's face is often confused for a smile.  Zombies were added on September 1, 2009 to Java Edition Classic 0.24, Endermen were added on September 14, 2011 to Beta Update 1.8, and Alex was added on September 2, 2014 to Java Update 1.8.

The [[Minecraft|Super Mario Mash-up]], available on [[Wii U]], [[Nintendo Switch]], and [[Nintendo 3DS#New Nintendo 3DS/New Nintendo 3DS XL|New Nintendo 3DS]], adds forty different [[Minecraft#Skins|''Super Mario''-themed skins]] to replace Steve. [[Hammer Bro]]s. replace the Zombies in the pack, while Endermen are replaced by [[Stilt Guy]]s.

'''Sephiroth''' is the main antagonist from [[Square Enix]]'s ''{{wp|Final Fantasy VII}}''. He is a former renowned member of an elite fighting force called SOLDIER, who became a renegade and went on a murderous rampage after discovering the circumstances of his existence. Sephiroth would then go on to become a world-ending threat for [[Cloud Strife]] and his allies to stop. He appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a downloadable character. Despite having almost all of his home series appearances dubbed in English, and a few earlier appearances dubbed in additional languages, Sephiroth, like his rival Cloud, speaks only Japanese in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', similar to Marth and Roy prior to the game; he is voiced by Toshiyuki Morikawa, his Japanese voice actor from ''Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children'' onward.

{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Sephiroth (SSBU)}}
Sephiroth was released in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' on December 22, 2020 as the third fighter of Fighters Pass Vol. 2, following [[Min Min]] and [[Steve (Minecraft)|Steve]]. He is the third fighter from Square Enix, following Cloud and the [[#Hero|Hero]] and preceding [[#Sora|Sora]]. During {{wp|The Game Awards 2020|The Game Awards}} held on December 10, 2020, he was announced as the fighter for Challenger Pack 8. A follow-up broadcast hosted by [[Masahiro Sakurai]] on December 17, 2020, further showcased his moves as well as his home stage, the [[Northern Cave]]. The pack released officially on December 22, 2020, though from December 17 until its release, if the player purchased the individual pack or Fighters Pass Vol. 2 and updated the game to version 10.0.0, they could partake in a "Sephiroth Challenge" event, where they could fight Sephiroth in a Stamina battle on the Northern Cave stage on Easy, Normal, or Very Hard difficulty. If the player defeated Sephiroth on any difficulty, they would unlock him, the stage, and its music early from December 17, 2020.<ref>[https://www.smashbros.com/en_US/blog/index.html?category=cat08_info_patch-v10 Super Smash Blog post for version 10.0.0]</ref>

The reveal trailer for Sephiroth takes place during the events of the adventure game mode, World of Light, emerging during a fight between various characters and [[Galeem]] and several [[Master Hand]]s. Unlike all of the other characters in-game, he is the only playable character that seems to not join forces with the cast; however, he cuts Galeem in half right before his appearance, seemingly being against both separate parties. [[Cloud Strife|Cloud]] then recognizes Sephiroth upon his appearance. After brief gameplay footage, Sephiroth is seen attempting to stab through [[Mario]] (a reference to his actions towards Cloud during the Nibelheim Incident flashback in the original game as well as a similar action in their duel in ''{{wp|Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children|Advent Children Complete}}''), which is then interrupted by Cloud, and the two begin swordfighting.

As a fighter, Sephiroth utilizes his sword, Masamune, to fight. The weapon possesses a long range that surpasses that of most other swords, and the amount of damage and knockback dealt is dependent on which part of the blade hits the target. When performing a slash, the middle portion of the blade deals the most damage and knockback, while stabs deal the most damage and knockback on the sword's tip. However, while the sword attacks with the Masamune can be powerful when they connect, they do have sourspots that reduce their potency, and are also hindered by start-up and ending lag. On a side note, the down smash is notable in that it's stronger when it stabs the ground, and it can deal high amounts of shield damage as a result.

Sephiroth's down aerial, known as '''Hell's Gate''', has him dropping downwards, with his Masamune positioned straight down. It can meteor smash aerial targets with a clean hit, and can even hit fighters whom are trying to grab stage ledges. However, while using the attack, Sephiroth risks self-destructing if there's no ground to land on.

Sephiroth possesses a unique fighter ability, known as the '''[[smashwiki:Winged Form|Winged Form]]'''. When it activates, a single black wing will grow on the right end of Sephiroth's back, and he gains various benefits from the form as well. The conditions that are required for the Winged Form to activate depends on how much damage Sephiroth currently has, along with his overall position in a match. The greater the disadvantage, the sooner the wing will grow, but if Sephiroth has an advantage over his opposition, then it becomes harder for the Winged Form to activate. The Winged Form has limitations on how long it lasts, which depends on Sephiroth's current overall position, the amount of damage that he has dealt, and the amount of KOs that he has made. When the form disappears, it can't be activated again until Sephiroth gets KO'd.

The Winged Form offers various improvements to Sephiroth, which include increased overall mobility, greater damage dealt, an extra midair jump, and damage-based heavy armor periods for his smash attacks. However, the second midair jump covers less vertical distance than the first. The following table displays all the multipliers that the Winged Form offers.

In terms of his attributes, Sephiroth is a rather slow walker, walking slower than [[Bowser]], while his running is slightly faster than that of [[Hero]]. Sephiroth is also a rather fast faller, as he falls slightly slower than [[Greninja]], [[Simon]], and [[Richter]]. But his most notable attribute is his weight, which is quite low when compared to most other fighters; Sephiroth shares his weight with [[Kirby]], [[Pikachu]], [[Mewtwo]], and [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]], making him the lightest villain fighter in the game.

Prior to formally debuting as a fighter in ''Ultimate'', Sephiroth was frequently alluded to.
*In Cloud's debut trailer for ''Super Smash Bros. for the 3DS and Wii U'', Cloud faces off against Ike with the choreography matching up with Cloud and Sephiroth's metaphysical battle in the ending of ''Final Fantasy VII''.
**Cloud's All-Star Mode ending has him glaring at [[Palutena]] as she's walking through a blaze, alluding to Sephiroth and his role in the Nibelheim Incident in the game's backstory.
*One of the unlockable images for Cloud in ''Ultimate'' has Cloud cradling Zelda while wading through a body of water, indirectly referencing Sephiroth's murder of Aerith in ''Final Fantasy VII'' and the funeral afterward.
**Mewtwo's Classic Mode route has his "ally" in the third match being Cloud Strife, after beating him in the prior match, referencing Sephiroth's manipulations of Cloud throughout the game, and to a lesser extent Cloud's status as a Sephiroth Clone.

====Classic Mode route====
All of Sephiroth's opponents are bosses, making his Classic Mode route similar to Boss Battles mode from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

{{quote|Sorry, Rex. I couldn't tell you. Because... ...I got an invitation to join Smash!|Pyra|"One Day, Pyra Just Disappeared" trailer for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate}}
'''Pyra''' is one of the main characters from ''[[xenoseries:Xenoblade Chronicles 2|Xenoblade Chronicles 2]]''. She is a Blade, a personification of a weapon (in her case, the legendary Aegis sword) that can be wielded by the game's main protagonist, Rex. She was created by [[Mythra]] out of shame as an alternate personality and an idealized version of herself. The kind, gentle Pyra uses a variety of flame-based powers in combat, whereas her arrogant, headstrong "sister" Mythra uses light-based powers. Both Pyra and Mythra were released as a singular 2-in-1 downloadable fighter for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', marking their sole appearance alongside ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise characters.

<div class="contentbox mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"data-expandtext="Show history"data-collapsetext="Hide history">
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
On February 17, 2021, during a Nintendo Direct, both Pyra and Mythra were announced as the fighters for Challenger Pack 9 for the Fighters Pass Vol. 2 in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. They released on March 4th, 2021. Their reveal trailer features Rex (the protagonist from ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2'') searching for Pyra in a style reminiscent of the original game (with the usual ''Smash'' intro transition missing so as to mislead the viewer), only to find her excitedly announce that she received a ''Super Smash Bros.'' invitation letter. Rex then laments that he thought he was going to be a fighter. After a moveset showcase that introduces [[Mythra]] and the [[Cloud Sea of Alrest]], Mythra meets [[Shulk]] on [[Gaur Plain]] (a reference to Shulk's DLC appearance in ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2''), then transforms into Pyra as the two exchange words and rush at each other. A follow-up presentation showcasing Pyra and Mythra's moves in-depth occurred on March 4th, 2021, followed by their official release on the same day.

Pyra and Mythra function as one character, with players having the option to switch back and forth between them, similarly to how [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] and [[Sheik]] functioned in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Pyra's moves include Flare Smash, a burning slash attack that deals good damage and knockback; Flame Nova, a spinning attack that emits fire; Prominence Revolt, where Pyra leaps into the air and crashes back down to create a burst of fire; and Blazing End, a projectile attack that has Pyra throw her sword like a [[boomerang]]. Pyra's [[Final Smash]] is Burning Sword, in which Rex appears and the two create a pillar of fire that burns and launches opponents.<ref>Super Smash Bros. (February 17, 2021). [https://youtu.be/sdgdxaIkU5g Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – One Day, Pyra Just Disappeared - Nintendo Switch]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved February 17, 2021.</ref>

Pyra has near average weight, being the same weight as [[Mario]], [[Dr. Mario]], and [[Corrin]], while being lighter than [[Mii Swordfighter]] and [[Cloud Strife|Cloud]] and heavier than [[Luigi]], Shulk, and [[Byleth]]. She is also a rather slow fighter on the ground, having a slower walk speed than [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]], and [[Bowser Jr.]], and runs slower than [[Villager]].

However, while Pyra's overall mobility is quite low, the majority of her attacks can deal high amounts of damage and knockback on opponents, making her a rather strong fighter on offense. In fact, most of Pyra's standard attacks are fully capable of making KOs, but they are slower to execute when compared to Mythra's attacks. Thus, Pyra is overall comparable to [[Byleth]] in her characteristics.

Prior to being revealed as fighters, both Pyra and Mythra were Legend-class support [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirits]]. Pyra's spirit battle involves fighting [[Lucina]] in a red costume, representing Pyra, and [[Shulk]], representing Rex, on the [[Battlefield]] form of [[Halberd]]. When equipped, Pyra's spirit increases the damage dealt to [[Assist Trophy|Assist Trophies]].

Like female [[Corrin]] and [[Bayonetta]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|series]], Pyra's design added some skin tights covering her legs in her in-game model and artwork. Unlike her counterpart [[Mythra]], who received the same treatment in her in-game spirit, Pyra's in-game spirit has never been modified to add skin tights covering her legs.

====Classic Mode route====
Pyra and Mythra's Classic Mode route pits them against pairs of fighters who are similar to each other, and both Master Hand and Crazy Hand appear in the final round regardless of the current intensity.

'''Mythra''' is one of the main characters from ''[[xenoseries:Xenoblade Chronicles 2|Xenoblade Chronicles 2]]'' and its prequel, ''{{wp|Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna – The Golden Country|Torna – The Golden Country}}''. She is a Blade, a personification of a weapon (in her case, the legendary Aegis Sword) that can be wielded by protagonists Rex and Addam respectively. She is the Aegis' original form, having created her other self [[Pyra]] out of shame over mass destruction that she caused after losing control of her powers. The arrogant, headstrong Mythra uses a variety of light-based powers in combat, whereas her kinder, gentler "sister" Pyra uses flame-based powers. Both Mythra and Pyra were released as a singular 2-in-1 downloadable fighter for ''[[Super Smash Bros.

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
On February 17, 2021, during a Nintendo Direct, both Pyra and Mythra were announced as the fighters for Challenger Pack 9 for the Fighters Pass Vol. 2 in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. They were released on March 4th, 2021. The reveal trailer begins with announcing Pyra, and during a battle with [[Link]] in which he throws a Remote Bomb at her, Mythra interjects from within Pyra, alerting her "sister" to the danger at hand, and offers to take over their shared body. Pyra then transforms into Mythra and continues fighting with Link, successfully reflecting the bomb back at him. After a moveset showcase that introduces the [[Cloud Sea of Alrest]], Mythra meets [[Shulk]] on [[Gaur Plain]] (a reference to Shulk's DLC appearance in ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2''), then transforms into Pyra as the two exchange words and rush at each other. A follow-up presentation showcasing Pyra and Mythra's moves occurred on March 4th, 2021, followed by their official release on the same day.

Mythra and Pyra function as one character, with players having the option to switch back and forth between them, similarly to how [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] and [[Sheik]] functioned in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Mythra's moves include Lightning Buster, a slash attack that can be charged; Photon Edge, an attack that slashes opponents multiple times with a wide reach; Ray of Punishment, where Mythra slashes upwards and fires a beam of light downwards; Chroma Dust, which is similar to Ray of Punishment but features multiple downward shots; and Foresight, a dodging maneuver similar to [[Bayonetta]]'s [[smashwiki:Bat Within|Bat Within]] that leaves opponents open for a counterattack. Mythra's [[Final Smash]] is Sacred Arrow, in which Rex appears and the two rain multiple beams of light on opponents.<ref>Super Smash Bros. (February 17, 2021). [https://youtu.be/sdgdxaIkU5g Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – One Day, Pyra Just Disappeared - Nintendo Switch]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved February 17, 2021.</ref>

When compared to Pyra, Mythra is a much faster fighter overall, walking faster than [[Little Mac]], and being a faster runner than [[Fox]]. However, Mythra's higher overall mobility comes at the cost of being less powerful on offense, as most of her attacks lack the knockback strength to KO fighters at realistic damage percentages. Mythra is also lighter than Pyra; she shares her weight with the [[Ice Climbers]], [[Lucario]], [[Wolf O'Donnell|Wolf]], [[Villager]], and [[#Steve|Steve]], meaning that she is lighter than [[#Joker|Joker]] but heavier than [[Toon Link]] and [[Palutena]].

Prior to being revealed as fighters, both Mythra and Pyra were Legend-class support [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirits]]. Mythra's spirit battle involves fighting female [[Corrin]], representing Mythra, and [[Shulk]], representing Rex, on the [[Battlefield]] form of [[Gaur Plain]]. When equipped, Mythra's spirit gives the fighter a chance of landing a random powerful attack.

As discussed in the ''Mr. Sakurai Presents "Pyra & Mythra"'' showcase, Mythra has seen changes from her original design in ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2'', adding clothing to cover up her cleavage and legs to meet the CERO's "A" age rating. The original costume can be seen in said showcase, on the Good Smile Mythra statuette shown off prominently by Sakurai.

Mythra's down taunt quote, "Think you can take me?", and her swap-in line, "You're done!" are references to the battle quotes of the Ardainian Soldier enemies in ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2''; the former was patched out in an early version of said game.

====Classic Mode route====
Mythra shares the same Classic Mode route as Pyra, which pits them against pairs of fighters who are similar to each other, and both Master Hand and Crazy Hand appear in the final round regardless of the current intensity.

{{quote|{{hover|ここが貴様の墓場だ！|Koko ga kisama no hakabada!}} (This will be your burial ground!)|Kazuya Mishima|Super Smash Bros. Ultimate}}
'''Kazuya Mishima''' is a major character in the ''{{wp|Tekken}}'' series by [[Bandai Namco Entertainment|Bandai Namco]]. Originally a protagonist in the first ''{{wp|Tekken (video game)|Tekken}}'', he would eventually become one of the series’ main antagonists. He was released as a downloadable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

<div class="contentbox mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"data-expandtext="Show history"data-collapsetext="Hide history">
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Kazuya (SSBU)}}
Kazuya was revealed as the fighter for Challenger Pack 10 for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''{{'}}s downloadable Fighters Pass Vol. 2 during a Nintendo Direct on June 15, 2021. A follow-up Direct showcasing his moves in depth was streamed on June 28, 2021. In his debut trailer, he was also shown disposing of various defeated opponents into a lava flow below a cliff, including [[Ganondorf]], [[Captain Falcon]], [[Pit (character)|Pit]], [[Min Min]], and [[Marth]], as well as [[Kirby]] in the trailer's end, although Kirby escapes by flying away with him not noticing.<ref>Nintendo. (June 15, 2021). [https://youtu.be/IH7QtiX1I7Y?t=90 Nintendo Direct | E3 2021]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved June 15, 2021.</ref> His home stage is [[Mishima Dojo]], which comes bundled in when players purchase his DLC pack, which was released on June 29, 2021 (June 30 outside of the Americas).

According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]] in the Mr. Sakurai Presents "Kazuya" video, Kazuya was chosen over his father Heihachi Mishima, who was previously [[List of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U pre-release and unused content|considered]] for ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'', due to the former's possession of the Devil Gene, which allowed for a better potential moveset than Heihachi.<ref>Nintendo (June 28, 2021). [https://youtu.be/iMy8Ah4eQ8g?t=229 Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – Mr. Sakurai Presents "Kazuya"]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved September 1, 2021.</ref>

Kazuya's moveset is derivative of his fighting style in the ''Tekken'' series. His attacks are combo-based, requiring the player to input commands in order to execute several moves. Kazuya has a unique ability known as '''Rage''', a furious state which increases attack power by 10%, but can only be activated once per stock. This ability enables Kazuya to use a special move called '''Rage Drive''': a drop throw similar to Heaven's Door, but with extremely high damage. Rage Drive can be activated using a grab, connecting Heaven's Door with an opponent, or using the Shoryuken command input alongside the attack button. Using the Rage Drive attack ends the Rage state, which can be reactivated if Kazuya loses one of his stocks. 

Kazuya is one of the heavier fighters, being heavier than [[Piranha Plant]], but lighter than [[Incineroar]] and [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s [[Charizard]]. He also has a mechanic that's identical to [[Bowser|Bowser's]] Tough Guy, called "Tough Body"; Kazuya will not flinch from low knockback attacks, but the armor threshold is weaker than that of Tough Guy.

Kazuya is the first ''Super Smash Bros.'' fighter not to have a victory fanfare, instead having the classic ''Tekken'' announcer declare Kazuya's victory against a silent background; in team battles, the regular announcer declares the victory of Kazuya's team instead.

====Classic Mode route====
All matches in Kazuya's Classic Mode route except the sixth and final rounds are Stamina battles, referencing the fighting mechanics of the ''Tekken'' series. In 2 player mode, the opponents have more HP.

On October 5, 2021, Sora was announced to be the last DLC character for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' and was released alongside his home stage, [[Hollow Bastion]], as part of Challenger Pack 11 on October 18, 2021. According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], Sora was the real winner of the Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot held in 2015 for ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''; though the contest concluded with [[Bayonetta]] being added to the game, Sakurai stated that this was because Sora was not considered a realistic option at the time.<ref name=Sora>Nintendo (October 5, 2021). [https://youtu.be/L-q6Gz_4Yqc Super Smash Bros.™ Ultimate – Battling with Sora – Nintendo Switch]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved October 5, 2021.</ref> Sakurai has stated that Sora was originally not going to be part of the game and that there were only supposed to be five fighters in Fighters Pass Vol. 2. He stated that he met a Disney representative that was open to the idea, and after some discussions, they decided to add him as an extra character.<ref>[https://twitter.com/PushDustIn/status/1450855082203901954 @PushDustIn on Twitter - Translated summary of Sakurai's Column 639, “The Final One” from Famitsu].

Accessed on October 27, 2021.</ref> He is the only fighter to be owned by Disney, as well as the fourth fighter from Square Enix (following Cloud, [[#Hero|Hero]], and Sephiroth).

The announcement for Sora in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' was paired with an announcement that the three mainline ''Kingdom Hearts'' games (''{{wp|Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix}}'' + ''{{wp|Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix|HD 2.5 Remix}}'', ''{{wp|Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue}}'', and ''{{wp|Kingdom Hearts III}}'') would be coming to the [[Nintendo Switch]] via cloud streaming.<ref>[https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2021/10/poll-so-will-you-be-getting-the-cloud-versions-of-kingdom-hearts-on-switch Several Kingdom Hearts games are coming to Nintendo Switch].

Sora is a lightweight character, being lighter than [[Sonic]] and [[Duck Hunt (character)|Duck Hunt]] but heavier than [[Falco Lombardi|Falco]] and [[Rosalina]] & [[Luma]], while having the same weight as [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]]. He possesses a unique midair jump, ascending a further distance in a curved trajectory in a similar manner to [[Ness]] or [[Mewtwo]]. If Sora wins a stamina battle, the screen will zoom in and slowly fade to white, a reference to the victory animation that occurs when defeating a boss in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series.

All of Sora's alternate costumes are based on each of his outfits in the series. While the default one is from the first ''[[khwiki:Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', the second one is from ''[[khwiki:Kingdom Hearts II|Kingdom Hearts II]]'', third from ''[[khwiki:Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance|Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'', and fourth from ''[[khwiki:Kingdom Hearts III|Kingdom Hearts III]]''. The rest are various forms of him from the games; the fifth, sixth, and seventh are the [[khwiki:Timeless River|Timeless River]] form, the [[khwiki:Valor Form|Valor Form]], and [[khwiki:Wisdom Form|Wisdom Form]] from ''Kingdom Hearts II'' respectively, and the eighth and last is the [[khwiki:Ultimate Form|Ultimate Form]] from ''Kingdom Hearts III''.
