Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has become an industry titan. This platform fighting game and its expansive roster have become synonymous with gaming as a whole. Over 80 characters from many games and genres join Mario in this popular game. The roster may be massive, but when players boot the game up for the first time, they'll only have access to eight of the game's characters.
Occasionally, players will be challenged by new characters, and if they win, these characters will join the roster. Should players play the game's Versus Mode, they'll face these characters in a specific order. Here is the order in which these fighters appear.
