Top Ten Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Characters
DapperPickle This list has come out before the game so the options I've picked are going to drastically change when it actually comes out and tier lists start rolling in. So for this I'll be ranking based on how much they've improved from their previous games, and If they're new I'll say how much impact they've made.Super Smash Bros. Ulimate is a fighter game starring an all star cast of different Nintendo characters which comes out December 7th 2018. I hope you enjoy the list!The Top Ten
1 Inkling
When inkling moves she turns into an octopus which is so amazing
I really like inkling this should be first they look so young (i'm basically young (
Squid ink girl - MarioBros11
Inkling has some pretty great attacks with a lot of combo potential, as well as amazing speed and agility. That, and the fact that I am a huge Splatoon fan, are the reasons why I'm an Inkling main. - Atham

Listen, I hate Daisy, but Waluigi isn't more important than Daisy. - Eclipsmon
You may as well label her as Peach, either way she's considered top tier. - Qryzx
Literally, I want a switch now all because of her. Call me stupid. It's okay lol

6 Cloud
So good upgrade version of little mac
7 Snake
"a weapon to surpass metal gear" his projectiles overwhelm the opponent with free damage, and nikita kills anywhere on the stage
I thought it would never happen due to the drama between Kojima and Konami (cough Metal Gear Survive cough) but it somehow did it. - Dominicmgm
Ho ha! The banana factory!
He's Snake. Its that simple. I mean... come on. he's Snake. That's my comment

Meta Knight is my main and he is amazing. Ridley just turned out to be a big pushover. He was hyped, and turned out to be not so good. Meta Knight has always been great. FIGHT ME! - Bswaggers
He is my favorite
9 Chrom
Let's get him above that overrated character that actually not "everybody loves" despite a fanboy's claim.
Get him above that stupid weed!
I have 5 words: HE GOT HIS CHANCE, INDEED.
10 Pikachu

Pikachu are a species of Pokémon, fictional creatures that appear in an assortment of video games, animated television shows and movies, trading card games, and comic books licensed by The Pokémon Company, a Japanese corporation. Pikachu is definitely the best of this list but according to the best ZeRo super smash player Mewtwo is the top
Pika! - MarioBros11

Best. Character. Ever.

Link refers to several different incarnations of the same protagonist of Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda series.
Link refers to several different incarnations of the same protagonist of Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda series. Yeah but basically every braindead Link from Smash 4 switched to Young Link. The new rune bombs are for big-brain players only.
I think Link should be in 1st place because have you seen Heroes spin attack! Anyway, third is close enough.
The redesign of the character had everybody buzzing. - DapperPickle
13 Ice Climbers
Finally the climbers are back! - MarioBros11
The ultimate trio is finally back!
Ice Climbers are extremely popular with the community and when they were revealed as the first returning characters we were all pleased. This duo is more iconic in Smash than their own games. - DapperPickle

15 Mewtwo

Bayonetta, real name Cereza, is a fictional character and protagonist of the video game Bayonetta and its sequel, developed by PlatinumGames and published by Sega and Nintendo respectively. Why did you people include a porn star in smash?
Ok, I get why you added Bayonetta, but do ya really have to have blood when you attack her? - MarioBros11
Bayonetta is insanely op in Ultimate so I included her here for now. - DapperPickle
I love her (come on, look at that damn body, like JEZUS) but they made her way too overpowered in this game. - Mcgillacuddy

Douglas Jay Falcon, known commonly as Captain Falcon, is a playable character in the racing video game series F-Zero. He is the best character ever!

Ganon (Referred to as Ganondorf in human form) is a fictional character and the central antagonist of Nintendo's Legend of Zelda series. He is a power-hungry Gerudo who possesses the Triforce of Power and aims to conquer Hyrule with the remaining Triforce parts. Best smash character - Winncon
There is only one word to describe this guy: DORIYAH - Mattblue66
I'm so happy they returned to Ganondorf's classic, Gerudo chief look. And his new sword looks absolutely amazing! I was once a Ganondorf main in Brawl, but I switched over to Pac-Man on the Wii U. Now, I wanna go back!
In ultimate his moves can be very scary. so many cool clips with this character.

24 Lucas
Brother of peanut butter - MarioBros11
Though I hate this guy and Ness (playing them), they sure pack a punch. And it takes quiet a bit getting use to Pika Thunder. - Sentimental
Why is he so far? He's so fun to play with, he's fast, has a nice jump and has good proyectile attacks, his PK Frost is epic - Enmanu16
25 Roy
He is the best
ROYS OUR BOY! ROYS OUR BOY! ROYS OUR BOY!

Isabelle rocks! - ArcticWolf
If anybody says she's the worst, I bet I could beat you using her.

Yoshi, once romanized as Yossy, is a fictional anthropomorphic dinosaur who appears in video games published by Nintendo. He is most known for his appearances in the Yoshi and Mario franchises. My main Yoshi can beat a level 9 Kirby in a one-sided battle.
He's awesome and so powerful!
Yoshi was in smash 64 so he should not be in the newcomers - Hummingbirdf
Newcomers on here means ones that were just added recently to the list - MusicLover132
28 Hero (Dragon Quest)
The huge problem with his character is that he keep his RPG gameplay, making him unpleasant to play, while Ness, Lucas and Fire Emblem characters dropped their RPG gameplay and are way more enjoyable to play. I know japanese peoples want the hero, but keeping the RPG gameplay is really pointless.
If like the ones listed above, he dropped his RPG gameplay, he could have been acceptable.
Hero was just added but he’s really op and I immediately started maining him when I saw his power
29 Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong is an arcade game released by Nintendo in 1981. It is an early example of the platform game genre, as the gameplay focuses on maneuvering the main character across a series of platforms while dodging and jumping over obstacles.
