u/TheSmashShane

We're already off to a great start! 12 fresh new faces are here to show off their skills in the only ways they know how! Let's see who's got what it takes to be the best!

In first place:

Smash is waiting for this hero to take up arms!

Deltarune's Hero of Light, KRIS!!!

Tied for second:

Prepare to MEAT your maker!

The Literally beefed up Brawler, MEAT BOY!!!

He's reaped chaos in the dark, and now he's ready to step into the light!

The Card Castle's Chaotic Court Jester, JEVIL!

I've got an Inkling that this may not be the only one of their kind!

DJ Octavio's Inksclusive operative, OCTOLING!

In third place:

If you're rock bottom, there's nowhere to go but up!

The Rock Bottom Dragon turned hero of Yokohama, ICHIBAN KASUGA!

He's more of a ghost than a person!

Red Dead Redemption's renegade gunslinger, ARTHUR MORGAN!

And tied for 4th!

He came to our world hoping to learn it, now he'll have to survive it!

The Galactic Voyager: ORBULON!!!

Another intruder's stolen something extremely valuable!

TF2's Elusive Master of Espionage, THE SPY!!!

Two roads not taken, but which path will they tread?

The Travelers of the Endless Now, NOAH AND MIO!!!

And the first three wildcards to join the fray are as follows:

Named after the great sword, He'll soon cut his own path!

The Strongest Warrior of Warframe, EXCALIBUR!!!

Let's give it everything we've got! Because IT'S PUNISHMENT TIME!!!

The Monochrome Mastermind of Danganronpa, MONOKUMA!!!

Finally, while there's countless worlds out there, they're all bound by one sky. One sky, one destiny!

Organization 13's Wandering Replica, XION!!!

And that's the first set among 84 fresh faces! Who else will join our team? Let's find out for ourselves! Remember, the second slide shows off the roster so far. And the primary slide is your focus on who you want to bring on board!

Game on!

Rule 1: No downvoting other people's picks! This is an open space to express who want to show some love for their favorite candidates!

Rule 1.5: Adding to this rule, always treat others with respect! This is a safe space to encourage innovation! And I want to maintain a fun space for us to play in!

Rule 2: Video Game Characters only! No 4th party picks allowed!

Rule 2.5: While I want to keep things semi-realistic, I encourage you guys to think outside the box! I'm not solely looking for fan favorites. We've seen a few unexpected entries in the past, so don't be afraid to throw in someone you think would contribute to the game the best.

Rule 3: This title released in December 7th, 2018. And with the DLCs included here, I'll be throwing in a bigger cutoff window. Your cutoff this time is March 22nd, 2024. Given this amount of fighters, I want to try to make the lineup as vast as possible.

Rule 4: 3rd party characters are allowed! As long as they have a solid history with Nintendo.

Rule 4.5: The same can apply to certain Microsoft and Sony reps. (EG, Master Chief and Kratos.) As long as they've made an appearance in some form, they're allowed. But I do want to keep this semi-realistic. Anyone who HASN'T gotten a proper debut on a certain console, they're out. (If they've been shown in IPs like Fortnite or Fall Guys, I'll allow it.)

Rule 5: In the event of a tie, any Fighters who have the same amount of votes will be added into the roster!

Rule 6: You're more than welcome to submit more than one candidate. But to keep everything organized, please put them in one comment at a time. That way they'll have a better shot at getting in!

Rule 7: If a fighter's been suggested more than once, then their votes will be stacked to the first comment!

Rule 8: That should be about everything you need to know for this project. Best of luck to you all! And have fun!

And now my friends, we're finally here! The moment you've all been waiting for! Welcome to Super Smash Bros Ultimate! Everyone has returned for one last hurrah! If you think this lineup was insane already, just wait until what comes next!

However, since I'm dealing with a bigger roster here, and since everyone's back, I'll open a seperate roster for all the newcomers shown! Just to avoid the risk of my laptop crashing at once.

Anyway, y'all know the routine! The top 4 fighters with the most votes will be given a slot on here. And the tied vote rule stands as always. We have a whopping 86 newcomers on this side! 75 more slots are up for grabs!

Who has what it takes? Let's find out for ourselves!

GAME ON!!!

The Game's only starting to get more intense! And apologies if I got a bit carried away with the additional entries alongside our winners! Thanks to some of the material I've got, I'm able to get some ideas on who to bring to the table! But in the meantime, let's get to those winners!

Tied for First!

Get on his nerves, and you're bound to have a bad time...

The Lazy but Lethal Skeleton, SANS!!!

He may have won his battle, but he's entering a much bigger war!

The Merciless Soldier of Metal Slug, MARCO ROSSI!!!

Tied for Second!

Top pop idol by day, and revered warrior by night!

The Mirage Master, TSUBASA ORIBE!

Beyond the highest Peaks, one soul will cut his path!

The Mysterious Samurai of the Night, TAKAMARU!!!!

And in a five way tie for third!

Rules are meant to be broken! Like Buildings!

The Loose Cannon of League of Legends, JINX!

Believing to be the hero reborn, she'll take aim and strike!

The Reincarnated Hero of Hyrule, LINKLE!!!

This is no dream! But rather another dream come true!

The Dream Hero, KLONOA!!!

Beneath the veil of this seafarer lies another beautiful princess! The Wind Waker's most notorious pirate, TETRA!!!!

Some people say that this monster carries a mighty voice!

The Singing Sasquatch, MAMMOT!!!!

And joining our top nine is our 20 new challengers!

In rapid fire Order:

Caeda, Viewtiful Joe, Crypto, Amaterasu, Viridi, Sylux, Ezio, Zael, Wonder-Red, 9-Volt, Maxwell, Dark Samus, Gunvolt, King Boo, Peacock, Nephenee, Medusa, Lanky Kong, Frogger, and Arvis!

A whopping 29 more challengers have joined the game! And only 22 slots remain! So again, apologies if I get carried away with most of these picks! The roster's pretty big, and It might take a bit to comb through everyone!

Who will be our next lucky bunch? Let's see for ourselves, shall we?

Rule 1: No downvoting other people's picks! This is an open space to express who want to show some love for their favorite candidates!

Rule 1.5: Adding to this rule, always treat others with respect! This is a safe space to encourage innovation! And I want to maintain a fun space for us to play in!

Rule 2: Video Game Characters only! No 4th party picks allowed!

Rule 2.5: While I want to keep things semi-realistic, I encourage you guys to think outside the box! I'm not solely looking for fan favorites. We've seen a few unexpected entries in the past, so don't be afraid to throw in someone you think would contribute to the game the best.

Rule 3: This title released in October 1st (3DS) and November 21st (Wii U), 2014. And to make way for the DLC releases, I'll be extending this deadline to February 3rd, 2016. So Fighters like Shulk and Micaiah are allowed to participate here. And DS reps are also allowed to join up too!

Rule 4: 3rd party characters are allowed! As long as they have a solid history with Nintendo.

Rule 4.5: The same can apply to certain Microsoft and Sony reps. (EG, Master Chief and Kratos.) As long as they've made an appearance in some form, they're allowed. But I do want to keep this semi-realistic. Anyone who HASN'T gotten a proper debut on a certain console, they're out. (If they've been shown in IPs like Fortnite or Fall Guys, I'll allow it.)

Rule 5: In the event of a tie, any Fighters who have the same amount of votes will be added into the roster!

Rule 6: You're more than welcome to submit more than one candidate. But to keep everything organized, please put them in one comment at a time. That way they'll have a better shot at getting in!

Rule 6.5: If a character cut from Melee is suggested, they won't be counted. (EX: Birdo, Amy Rose, etc) Since I'm following the formula used for the original games, I want to hold a seperate vote when the 4th game rolls around. So keep an eye out for that! If they're suggested here, then that would defeat the purpose of that vote.

Rule 7: If a fighter's been suggested more than once, then their votes will be added to the first comment!

Rule 8: That should be about everything you need to know for this project. Best of luck to you all! And have fun!

We've certainly got ourselves quite a lineup tonight friends! But first, let's welcome our first four winners!

In first place:

Once a Nomad in the west, now a Ranger dedicated to protecting all he holds dear, DILLON!!!!

In second Place: She's setting a real page turner this time! Hyrule's White Sorceress, LANA!!!!

And tied for 3rd!

Once submerged in the darkest depths, now surfaces above uncharted waters! The Mechanical Prowler of Bioshock, BIG DADDY!

Even as Medusa's army was relentless, one human stood above the rest! The Elusive Mercenary of Kid Icarus, MAGNUS!!!!!

And because you've all been good players, I've got a whopping 14 new additional challengers joining the game!

In rapid fire Order:

The Chorus Kids, Chrom, Party Phil, Aigis, Henry Fleming, Monita, Jill Valentine, Gardevoir, Hector, Inkling, Shovel Knight, Isabelle, Nightmare and Mach Rider!

Which brings this roster up to 181! Which means 51 slots are still up for grabs! When I told you I'd be back, I'd be coming back with a bang!!! I know what you guys want! Who am I to deny you guys your favorites their chance to shine?

As always, the top 4 highest voted Fighters will get in! Tied votes will also have our other candidate take a slot!

And be on the look out for more surprises on the way! Because this is a BIG roster! So some slots are probably going to fill up pretty quickly!

Rule 1: No downvoting other people's picks! This is an open space to express who want to show some love for their favorite candidates!

Rule 1.5: Adding to this rule, always treat others with respect! This is a safe space to encourage innovation! And I want to maintain a fun space for us to play in!

Rule 8: That should be about everything you need to know for this project. Best of luck to you all! And have fun!

Kept you waiting, huh? It's been a hot minute since I explored this project, but we're finally back! Sorry for being MIA for a while! Just had to take a bit of a breather to catch up on some other projects on the side. But now that I have a bit of time in between, we should be back on track with this game! So I think it's time we rang in this return with some pretty heavy hitters, shall we?

In first place: He may be loyal to the king, but his loyalty for his friends burns even brighter! King Dedede's closest ally and Kirby's loyal friend: BANDANA DEE!

In second place: Even at an old age, that spark he had in his heart never faded! The eldest member of the DK Crew: CRANKY KONG!!!

Tied for 3rd:

Another iconic arcade hero comes to life! And he's not missing his cue! The cube hopping hero: Q BERT!!!

And with Eggman's many failed robots, comes one successful entry that's matched the blue blur's footsteps! The Mechanical Menace of Eggman's forces: METAL SONIC!

And in 4th: Five Nights was all these guards needed, but what they got instead was an endless helping of Nightmares instead! The Deadly and Scary mascot of the Fazbear Franchise: FREDDY FAZBEAR!

It's great to be back! But with Freddy's inclusion, I'm potentially bracing for what might follow. Uh oh... XD

But you know the routine! Any video game character qualifies! But remember to keep it semi-realistic and within Nintendo's territories. With Freddy's inclusion, I may have potentially opened Pandora's Box.

Anyway, GOOD LUCK! HAVE FUN!

Rule 1: No downvoting other people's picks! This is an open space to express who want to show some love for their favorite candidates!

We're at the halfway mark of the competition! Here's where things are about to get even more crazy! With this entry, we've officially jumped up to 232 Fighters here! And the lineup's only bound to get even crazier!

Especially with our prior winners debuting in prior entries! A whopping 15 slots are open thanks to most of our original newcomers getting revealed sooner! And to recap who else was revealed here, Greninja, Palutena, Dark Pit, Lucina, Robin, and Corrin have all made their appearances here.

For now, Let's get this contest underway! To recap y'all on our comeback winners, they are as follows:

Mewtwo

Banjo & Kazooie

Wolf

Dr. Mario

Roy

Snake

Slime

Amy Rose

Tron Bonne

Jack Frost

Pocky & Rocky

Lucas

Garchomp

Famicom Detectives

And joining our first set of winners, come four new surprise entries to this title!

Whatever it takes, he'll never stop fighting the good fight! With holy powers at his disposal, he'll point his weapon to victory! The Emblem of the Holy War: SIGURD!!!!

A trusted royal advisor on the surface, but is just as deadly in the shadows! The Sage of Shadow: IMPA!!!

In the ways of War, she's nothing short but brilliant! The Orange Star Army's most experienced commander: SAMI!!!!

And finally: I've drawn my conclusion that this guy's been waiting for his shot in forever! The Paper Clad Plumber: PAPER MARIO!!!

We have a whopping 74 slots up for grabs this time! And I can bet there's bound to be a few tied votes along the way! At the rate we're going, fingers crossed for that!

But in the meantime, the primary aim is 4 winners for every day. As always, anyone tied up among our top 4 will also join our winners! So let's see what's in store for this entry, shall we?

LET'S GO!

Rule 1: No downvoting other people's picks! This is an open space to express who want to show some love for their favorite candidates!

We have our final four winners!!!!

Back on the hunt, and hungry for revenge, it's WOLF!!!

Just when you thought her flame fizzled out, she burst like a Phoenix! Rising from its ashes! BLAZE returns for yet another heated round!

Here to show he has some new tricks up his sleeve, I present to you: TINGLE!

And working to keep their home safe from any dark spirit they meet, POCKY & ROCKY return for another round!

It wasn't an easy bout, but we've got a solid set of returnees here!

And fret not! If your favorites wound up cut, they won't be gone forever! Don't forget! Ultimate is right around the corner! So they'll be back before you know it!

But in the meantime, another roster is in the works, and a few more surprise entries will be lying in wait! So be sure to tune in!

We're at the tail end of this small contest! We have our next four winners!

Revved up and ready to rumble, Tron Bonne is back in the game!

Soaring in once again comes Garchomp!

Even though he was coldly shafted from Brawl, Jack Frost returns with an even colder vengeance!

And bouncing in once more, it's Slime!

Four more slots! Who will be our final lucky returnees on this lineup? Let's see who you choose! GAME ON!

Our first returnees have won the first 4 extra slots back in the game!

Banjo and Kazooie are ready for another adventure, Snake's sneaking back in for another mission, Amy's prepared to smash anyone that gets in her way, and the Famicom Detectives are back on the case!

Who will be our next lucky quartet? Let's find out and see!

Four winners will be selected going forward!

IT'S FINALLY TIME!!!

44 reps have been shafted from the game until Ultimate. But have they completely?

Alongside Dr. Mario, Mewtwo, Roy and Lucas, 12 more slots have opened up for our lucky returnees!

Who will take these slots?

The top three Fighters with the most votes will go on to secure their place in the 4th game! 40 Fighters, 12 spots.

Who will join our lucky quartet from before? It's up to you!

GAME ON!

And so, we have our final losers for Brawl.

While the roster's complete, it's clear who's getting sidelined until later.

But, don't you worry, by the next post:

IT'S FINALLY COMEBACK TIME!

So stay tuned for who you want to see make a comeback!

Oof! We have some real Heartbreakers this time folks!

Once again, Master Hand has been demoted to Boss duty!

Meanwhile, Blaze's flame has fizzle, Felix felt the ground cave beneath him, and Tron Bonne had some mechanical difficulties.

But we only have two slots remaining! Who will be our last pair of losers before the comeback vote? Let's find out for ourselves!

With a few ties added, we have a whopping six players eliminated!

Another case is closed, and the Famicom Detectives have been eliminated!

Tied with three votes are Kratos, Master Chief, Tingle and Slime. I figured Kratos and Master Chief weren't going to advance either way. And we sadly have to say a temporary goodbye to Cream and Cheese. She waited for this moment, only to have it snatched away! She needs a hug after this one!

But we're down to six slots either way! The top three votes will determine who'll be out of the running.

But remember, there is the comeback vote coming up! So there's still time to save your favorites before Smash 4 rolls around!

This might've been a bit of a hard one to swallow. Phanpy's sadly eliminated from this entry, Kunio's been knocked out of the game, and the case closes on Team Chaotix's run. But hopefully by the comeback vote, they won't be out for too long!

Remember, one fighter per comment only! Only the top three Fighters with the highest votes will be eliminated. Tied votes will have the other fighter be eliminated too.

We have our first losers. While it's sad to see them go, their time away might not be forever! But in the meantime, here's who's sadly biting it first.

T.T's time on the battlefield has sadly run out. Maybe he can still polish off his time trials while he's cut.

Everyone can sleep more peacefully knowing that Reala's out of the game for now. What would Wizeman say about this?

And the Galactic Federation needed to call Jody for another job. So unfortunately, her schedule might not be permitted to have her return.

Who will be our next losers for this lineup? The tied vote rule still stands here. Remember, for organizational purposes, please put down the name of the fighter you want to eliminate in one comment at a time.

With Smash 4 around the corner, this means another round of hard cuts will have to take place. But keep in mind, even if they're gone momentarily, there's still hope for these players to get a second chance!

Remember, anyone who's in the original games are immune from being voted against! Any votes against them WILL NOT COUNT!

For the moment, we had to get rid of six Fighters from each of the three games covered. One more from the N64 game, 2 more from Melee, and three from Brawl!

The top 3 Fighters with the most votes will find themselves on the chopping block here. Anyone who ties up with the top Fighters will also sadly join them.

I know it's hard to say goodbye, but it has to be done!

Let's see who's getting cut from the competition this time.

For organizational purposes, please drop the fighter's name one at a time.

We have our final set of winners rounding out Brawl! I'd say this lineup looks really solid on its own right! And we've had a series of firsts occur before! But none are as crazy as this! But let's meet our last batch of winners!

In first place:

She's ready to rock and roll! Swinging in from the vines comes the DK Crew's most spunky member! The DK Crew's most energetic fighter, DIXIE KONG!!!

Tied for Second:

Combine the intimidation of a demon with the skills of a master hunter, and you have one charismatic combatant that can slay the underworld in an instant! The Hybrid Demon Hunter of Sparda, DANTE!!!

Wrapped up in an ongoing turf war, he's not afraid to let his fists do the talking! River City's Best Brawler, KUNIO!

When it comes to victory, their chances of victory seem to be stacking up! The 8-Bit Bruiser: TETROMINO!!!

Even when asleep for the past 500 years, her magic and skills never dulled against Heaven's holy messengers! The Last Surviving Umbra Witch: BAYONETTA!!!

Tied for 3rd:

Can you smell what Smash is cooking? Or is that our top Chef stepping into the fray! Can you be even better than Mama? The Kindhearted Cook herself, COOKING MAMA!!!

He has the best times on the track, but how will he measure on the battlefield? The fastest Time Trial Titan of his caliber, T.T.!

And tied for Fourth:

Many Pirates have dominated the land and sea, but one champion has the skies calling his name! The Ambitious Air Pirate of the Blue Rogues, VYSE!!!

Finally fed up with every loss, he'll take it on his own hands to bring the world of Smash to its knees! The Overarching Master of Smash, MASTER HAND!

Where one stray member of its clan runs wild, comes a potential gold mine to dig up a win! The Miniature Mindless Marauder, LEMMING!!!

And now: for our bonus winners to round out this entry!

By taking up the blade, he steels himself against the forces of darkness that cross his path! The Dragon Warrior, ADOL CHRISTIN!!!

Reporting in per the Galactic Federation's command, she's ready to deliver justice against all who defy her! The Galactic Federation's best ranked pilot, JODY SUMMER!

What do you get when you put an Elusive chameleon, a hyperactive bee, and a skilled crocodile in one Detective agency? A team ready to deliver some fresh chaos on their case! The best trio of the Chaotix Detective Agency, TEAM CHAOTIX!!!

Where many warriors prevailed with using a single sword, one duelist topples the rest! The Crimson Fencer, NAVARRE!!!

And finally, you know the term "Anyone can join the battle?" With these avatars, that rings true even now! And your imagination is your greatest weapon! The Warriors of Many Faces, THE MII FIGHTERS!!!

And there you have it! Brawl is officially done and done! And we have quite a lineup of talent this time around!

But, with Smash 4 on the horizon, who will move on to one of the biggest fights yet? Only one way to find out.

Stay tuned for the next elimination vote. Where 18 more Fighters sadly have to bite the dust.

We're nearing the home stretch on this entry! And the lineup's only looking stronger every day! And this lucky quintet shouldn't be any different! Let's meet our lucky winners today!

In first place:

Her precision with the blade is as swift as the sky! The Blazing Whirlwind, LYN!!!

Tied for second place:

Who's that girl next door, living in a haunted Mansion? You should know her name or she'll cast a spell over you! The mischievous, Magical Witch, ASHLEY!!!

When grief is a strong tool, his rage burns even brighter against the gods! The God of War himself, KRATOS!!!

In third Place:

It's no use trying to defy fate! The Psychic Hedgehog from the future: SILVER THE HEDGEHOG!

And in fourth place:

Given a chance to prove his worth, he won't stop until he beats the Reaper at his own game! The Quiet Psychic, NEKU SAKURABA!!!!

17 slots remain! Who else will join the game? We'll just have to wait and see who's deemed worthy to become the best! LET'S GO!!!

Rule 1: No downvoting other people's picks! This is an open space to express who want to show some love for their favorite candidates!

Rule 1.5: Adding to this rule, always treat others with respect! This is a safe space to encourage innovation! And I want to maintain a fun space for us to play in!

Rule 2: Video Game Characters only! No 4th party picks allowed!

Rule 2.5: While I want to keep things semi-realistic, I encourage you guys to think outside the box! I'm not solely looking for fan favorites. We've seen a few unexpected entries in the past, so don't be afraid to throw in someone you think would contribute to the game the best.

Rule 3: This title released in January 31st, 2008. But since we had a previous tie-in fighter before, I'll be extending an olive branch to stretch the date to July 10th, 2010. So Fighters like Shulk and Micaiah are allowed to participate here. And DS reps are also allowed to join up too!

Rule 4: 3rd party characters are allowed! As long as they have a solid history with Nintendo.

Rule 4.5: The same can apply to certain Microsoft and Sony reps. (EG, Master Chief and Kratos.) As long as they've made an appearance in some form, they're allowed. But I do want to keep this semi-realistic. Anyone who HASN'T gotten a proper debut on a certain console, they're out. (If they've been shown in IPs like Fortnite or Fall Guys, I'll allow it.)

Rule 5: In the event of a tie, any Fighters who have the same amount of votes will be added into the roster!

Rule 6: You're more than welcome to submit more than one candidate. But to keep everything organized, please put them in one comment at a time. That way they'll have a better shot at getting in!

Rule 6.5: If a character cut from Melee is suggested, they won't be counted. (EX: Birdo, Amy Rose, etc) Since I'm following the formula used for the original games, I want to hold a seperate vote when the 4th game rolls around. So keep an eye out for that! If they're suggested here, then that would defeat the purpose of that vote.

Rule 7: If a fighter's been suggested more than once, then their votes will be added to the first comment!

Rule 8: That should be about everything you need to know for this project. Best of luck to you all! And have fun!

Sorry to keep y'all waiting! I've been a bit busy for the past few days tackling a few other projects. But now that I've got some time, we are back with a new round! 8 more winners have entered the fray! And we've got some pretty interesting choices this time! Let's meet our winners!
