Super Smash Bros bUltimate

When Nintendo announced that the Switch version of Smash Bros. would be called Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, it wasn't kidding about the title; every single character that has ever appeared in any previous Smash Bros. game is available on the Nintendo Switch incarnation. Crikey.

Along with updated moves and final smashes, Sakurai-san and his team updated the visuals for almost all the characters matching them with, more often than not, their latest game appearance. We've put them together in this gallery of hi-res artwork for everyone to sit back and enjoy.

Remember, while the numbers currently go up to 81 (or 82 if you follow Nintendo's awkward numbering), you'll find more than that in our gallery thanks to the five 'echo' fighters — denoted here with a 'ε' — that share another fighter's spot (Ryu and Ken at #60, for example, or Simon Belmont and Richter at #66).

With Byleth from Fire Emblem: Three Houses taking up the final slot in the first batch of DLC, and Sora from the Kingdom Hearts series being the last recipient of a Smash Ultimate invitation, the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster is finally complete!


Updated 5th October 2021: Sora from the Kingdom Hearts series is the final DLC Challenger to get an invite! Challenger #11 will be arriving on 18th October.

Updated 15th June 2021: Kazuya from the Tekken series is confirmed as DLC Challenger #10, "coming soon"!
