Fighters with articles[edit]

Meta Knight[edit]

“Victory is my destiny.”
Meta Knight, Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Meta Knight is a recurring anti-hero in the Kirby series, making his debut in Kirby's Adventure. He always wears his metal mask in his series, and usually appears as a rival or a boss Kirby must fight, but on occasions has had to team up with him. He is one of the captains of the Halberd ship. In certain games, after Meta Knight is defeated, his mask splits into two, revealing a face near identical to Kirby's; the main difference being his blue skin tone. He has made crossover appearances with the Super Mario franchise, mostly in the Super Smash Bros. series.

Meta Knight is the only Kirby series character in the Super Smash Bros. series that speaks in full dialogue, aside from Knuckle Joe. In addition, Super Smash Bros. Brawl is the first game in which Meta Knight has a voice actor.

Pit[edit]

Pit, also known as Kid Icarus on occasion, is a young angel who is the main protagonist of the Kid Icarus series, and the captain of Palutena's army. His most notable appearance alongside Super Mario franchise characters, however, is in the Super Smash Bros. series.

Snake[edit]

Solid Snake (whose real name is David) is the main character of Konami's Metal Gear series of games. He is one of the results of the "Les Enfants Terribles" project, a government project to create clones of the renowned soldier "Big Boss", and is constantly given the mission of deprogramming the various versions of the bipedal nuclear-armed tank called Metal Gear. Snake has appeared in the Super Smash Bros. series, debuting in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and returning in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. According to Masahiro Sakurai, Metal Gear series creator Hideo Kojima originally asked him to include Snake in Super Smash Bros. Melee, but as the game was too far into development at that point, he could not be included and was instead added into the next game.[3] Like in the Metal Gear series at the time of release, Snake is voiced by Akio Ohtsuka in the Japanese version, and by David Hayter in the English version. Although he is identified as Solid Snake, his actual appearance in the Super Smash Bros. series is technically a mixture between Solid Snake himself and his "father", Big Boss, or more accurately his Naked Snake self from Snake Eater. He is one of only three characters in the series to come from an M-rated franchise, with the others being Bayonetta and Joker.

Snake fights using a combination of explosives and hand-to-hand combat. Snake's special moves are Hand Grenade, an explosive that can be thrown at various distances, Remote Controlled Missile, a guided missile that rockets wherever it is aimed, Cypher, a flying security drone that flies Snake up, and C4, a sticky explosive that can be mounted on various surfaces. Snake can also deal a small amount of damage with his taunts, which involve him hiding in and coming out his cardboard box, which can also be thrown like an item to deal 1-2% of damage.

Additionally, Snake has access to a unique series of taunts, which spawns in a cardboard box that Snake retreats into. When Snake exits the box at the end of the taunt, it can hit an opponent for a small amount of damage (1%~2%.) The cardboard box is an iconic trademark of the Metal Gear series, appearing in most games as a way to sneak by enemies.

Ike[edit]

Ike is the protagonist in two games of the Fire Emblem series, debuting in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, the series' ninth installment. In his home series, Ike is the leader of the Greil Mercenaries, who are drawn into two wars spanning the continent of Tellius. With the help of his companions, Ike acquires the sacred sword Ragnell and brings peace to Tellius, ending hostilities between its inhabitant beorc and laguz races in the process.

He appears as a playable fighter in the Nintendo-crossover fighting game, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and returned for its successors, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Ike is the third Fire Emblem character to appear in the Super Smash Bros. series, after Marth and Roy. Ike is a very powerful fighter - one of the strongest, but as a downside, he is quite heavy and slow.

Pokémon Trainer[edit]

This section is about the character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. For other uses of "Trainer", see Trainer.

A Pokémon Trainer is a human that catches, trains, cares for, and battles alongside Pokémon. The player character in the Pokémon series is fittingly a Pokémon Trainer, as are most humans in the series.

Red, the player character of the Pokémon series' first generation and male player character of Pokémon FireRed Version and Pokémon LeafGreen Version, makes a playable appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a default fighter and (alongside his female counterpart Leaf) in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as an unlockable fighter. However, Red and Leaf are referred to simply as "Pokémon Trainer", and differ from other fighters by issuing commands to three Pokémon (Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard) to fight on their behalf.

Squirtle[edit]

“Squirtle is one of three Pokémon you can get from Professor Oak in Pokémon Red and Blue. Squirtle was one of the few Water-type Pokémon you could get until you got a Fishing Rod.”
Tips, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Squirtle is a Water-type Pokémon and one of the three starting Pokémon in Pokémon Red Version and Pokémon Green Version, later localized as Pokémon Red Version and Pokémon Blue Version. Its name is a portmanteau of "squirt" and "turtle." In the Pokémon series, it evolves into Wartortle and later into Blastoise.

Ivysaur[edit]

“Ivysaur is the evolved form of Bulbasaur, one of the three Pokémon you can choose in the beginning. Compared to the other two Pokémon, you can reach the third form, Venusaur, quickest.”
Tips, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Ivysaur is a Grass/Poison-type Pokémon from the Pokémon series, appearing in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a playable character. In the Pokémon series, it is the evolutionary form of Bulbasaur and evolves into Venusaur.

Charizard[edit]

This section is about the fire Pokémon featured in the Super Smash Bros. series, who is known as Lizardon in Japan. For the boss from Wario's Woods, see Lizardon.

“Charizard, the Flame Pokémon, graced the package cover of Pokémon Red. Its fiery breath can melt anything, but it never turns its flame on an opponent weaker than itself.”
Tips, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Charizard is a Fire/Flying-type Pokémon resembling a winged European dragon. Its name is a combination of the words char, meaning burnt, and lizard. In the Pokémon series, it evolves from Charmeleon, which evolves from Charmander, and is one of the three fully-evolved starter Pokémon of the Kanto region. In Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, Charizard gained the ability to Mega Evolve into Mega Charizard X or Mega Charizard Y, the former of which appears as its Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Charizard appears in Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee as a Poké Ball Pokémon, and in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a playable character. When playable, its fighting style is similar to Bowser's, as a slow, powerful, heavy reptile with some fast movement options and the ability to breathe fire.

Lucas[edit]

Lucas is the protagonist of the Japan-only game Mother 3 from the EarthBound (Mother) series. In this game, he lived with his twin brother Claus and his parents Hinawa and Flint, in Tazmily Village located in the Nowhere Islands. However, tragedy soon strikes his family, as his mother is killed and his brother is lost, both of which set in motion Lucas' adventure to contend with the Pig Mask Army and its leader Porky.

King Dedede[edit]

“King Dedede can float after taking in a big gulp of air. This move is the result of lots of hard work and training so he could put up a fight against Kirby after previously losing to him.”
Tips, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

King Dedede is a large penguin-like creature,[8] the self-proclaimed king of Dream Land, and the rival of Kirby in the Kirby series. In his home series, he has acted as both an ally and enemy to Kirby.

Olimar[edit]

Captain Olimar from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

“The S.S. Dolphin runs into trouble during a space vacation, causing it to crash-land on an unexplored planet. Olimar tries to repair the ship using the help of the Pikmin he meets there.”
Tips, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Captain Olimar (or simply Olimar) is the main protagonist of the Pikmin franchise, created by Shigeru Miyamoto. Olimar is actually named after Mario himself (Olimar is an anagram of Mario, with an L added; his Japanese name, Orimā, (オリマー) which was romanized as Olimar, is a near perfect anagram of "Mario"). He has crossed over with the Super Mario franchise primarily through the Super Smash Bros. series, but also through Nintendo Land as well, where Pikmin gets its own attraction, titled "Pikmin Adventure." Most of his other appearances involve cameos via amiibo.

Olimar had to be scaled up drastically, even more so than Kirby, for his appearance in the Super Smash Bros. series, as according to the Pikmin game manual, he is only about an inch tall. Olimar does not have any voice effects (unless players count his whistles as a voice effect) in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, making him the only playable character in the game without a star KO sound effect (although he would later share this trait with other characters in future installments). However, in Pikmin 2, Pikmin 3, and Super Mario Maker, he is voiced by Kazumi Totaka.

In Super Smash Bros. games beginning with Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS onward, Alph, one of the protagonists of Pikmin 3, appears as an alternate costume of Olimar. His attacks and statistics are identical to Olimar's with any and all changes merely being cosmetic. As with other alternative costumes, the games do not acknowledge him as a separate character from Olimar in battle records and miscellaneous aspects, such as Classic Mode. The exception to this is the announcer, crowd, and character selection, all of which say and/or display his own name. He shares this trait with the Koopalings (the alternate costumes of Bowser Jr.) who are also named, but not acknowledged as separate characters.

Lucario[edit]

Lucario is a Fighting/Steel-type Pokémon from the Pokémon series. It originates from the movie Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew before debuting in the games with Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl and is the evolved form of Riolu. In Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, Lucario gained the ability to Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario.

Wolf[edit]

Wolf O'Donnell is the longtime rival of Fox McCloud, who appears in the Star Fox series of games, making his debut in Star Fox 64. He is the leader of the Star Wolf wing, a rival team to Fox's Star Fox team. Wolf later appears as an unlockable playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. After a ten-year playable absence in the Super Smash Bros. series, he reappears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
