This is why any trailer which incorporates the many characters from the roster fighting each other, automatically makes for a better trailer. 7th Place – HeroĮver since Super Smash Bros Brawl and outside the World of Light story mode, we haven’t seen the characters of Smash interact with each other in the form of CGI animated scenes. She also brings with her an interesting stage that seems pretty basic from the start but can make for some interesting situations and the “woah” of the ARMS soundtrack is great to hear in Smash. Ultimate such a great game is that if you’re good enough, nearly any character can be used in competitive play. She isn’t particularly competitively viable in my opinion, but what makes Smash Bros. Min Min does feel like she was ripped right out of ARMS and therefore has a long range on many of her moves, but in return they aren’t very strong and she has a lot of end lag on them too. The trailer featured ARMS characters fighting for the Smash envelope similar to Terry’s trailer but this one also saw cameos from Captain Falcon and Kirby.

In a very un-hyped move it was nonchalantly revealed that the next fighter in the pass was to be from the ARMS series which then led to a three month wait until Min Min was announced to kick off the second Fighters Pass. The manner in which this character was revealed was peculiar too. ARMS achieved relative success, but was soon forgotten about and simply didn’t have as big of an impact as Banjo Kazooie or Sephiroth. I don’t have a problem with Nintendo’s own characters appearing in the Fighters Pass, I just wish they were better than Min Min and Byleth. 8th Place – Min MinĪnother very expected fighter for Nintendo – ironically the two lowest places on this list belong to two characters from the big N themselves. On the bright side, Fire Emblem: Three Houses itself is an amazing game. Some, myself included, even stated the character was overpowered, having many abilities like a lot of super armour on moves, a huge reach on multiple moves, a great recovery and not many disadvantages. We did see a nice stage and good music added and as for Byleth’s ability in-game, many people saw the character as being very strong and powerful at range. The trailer also didn’t feature any other characters in its anime reveal apart from those seen in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. This was a disappointment for many people everywhere, as Smash has long been regarded for not only having too many anime swordsmen but specifically having too many Fire Emblem characters. As for the trailer, fans were pretty sure it was Byleth within the first few seconds as he was centre stage. In the case of Byleth, it was said that this was a decision from the higher-ups at Nintendo, probably due to the timing of the DLC and the recent release of Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Sakurai has stated in the past the characters who appear in Smash Ultimate aren’t always 100% up to him. Now, please enjoy a ranking of the current DLC fighters for Super Smash Bros. With all this explained please remember that I will try and be as objective as I can when ranking these characters but I also want to sprinkle a few elements of personal attachment too.

These elements, plus any other miscellaneous factors have also been considered in my list. Not just this, but the state of fan speculation and if the characters were leaked or heavily rumoured can lower the shock value and impact of a character coming to Smash. This might mean whether the character fills a quota the current roster is missing, like how Smash Bros for Wii U and 3DS saw the addition of a lot more female characters or how Ultimate saw a few more villains. The stage and music that comes along with them is in some cases just as important as the character themselves.įinally, how the character gels with the existing roster is something I find very interesting. However where each character ranks in a competitive tier list isn’t what makes a great Smash character, overall. Creator Masahiro Sakurai has done a stellar job making each individual character feel like they’ve been ripped out of their respective games.
