Dark Samus[edit]

“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.”
Tips, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Dark Samus is the main antagonist of two Metroid Prime games of the Metroid series. Revealed in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes as a doppelgänger of Samus, Dark Samus is actually the result of Metroid Prime fusing itself with Samus' Phazon Suit (and a sample of Samus' DNA by extension) following its defeat on Tallon IV in Metroid Prime.

He wields Falchion, the same sword wielded by Marth, albeit heavily reforged.

In English, Chrom is voiced by Matthew Mercer,[1] who has voiced him in the dubbed Fire Emblem games, while Tomokazu Sugita, Chrom's Japanese voice actor in the Fire Emblem series, provides his voice in the Japanese version.[2]

The Hero is a title assigned to various main playable characters in the 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.

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:

They all represent a hero from a different Dragon Quest series game. Their origins are as follows:

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.

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.

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. Ultimate, marking their sole appearance alongside Super Mario franchise characters.
