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 Ridley Ridley Ridley is a villain from the Metroid series and a character from the Super Smash Bros. series.

2 Inkling Inkling

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

Amazing character with great attacks, which is very cool. My main for sure. - Danganronpa

HECK YEAH - B1ueNew

I knew that they were gonna join this time anyway but I'm still hyped - Aidanisawesome

3 Daisy Daisy Princess Daisy is a fictional character in the Mario series of video games, in which she is the princess of the fictional region of Sarasaland. ...read more.

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

I don’t like that she is an echo other than that I am ready to use her!

Although you can hear Walugi fans...'wah'-ing in the corner, the reveal of Daisy was somewhat hype. A lot of people want her in Smash and when she was revealed as the new echo fighter I was pleasantly surprised. - DapperPickle

4 Link Link 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

5 King K. Rool King K. Rool King K. Rool is a fictional anthropomorphic crocodile and the main antagonist of Nintendo's Donkey Kong video game franchise, as well as the archenemy of Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong.

His down smash is the best move in the game and his recovery is op

Main!

"Now that I have the power
This is my finest hour
Nothing on this Earth can stop me now! "

King K. Rool's finest hour, indeed. - ModernSpongeBobSucks

6 Snake Snake

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

Everybody loves Snake, everybody. When he appeared, we knew stuff was gonna get real. Then came the EVERYONE IS HERE card and everybody screamed in joy. - DapperPickle

Meta knight it my main - myusernameisthis

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

8 Kirby Kirby Kirby is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Kirby series of video games owned by Nintendo and HAL Laboratory. His first game was created in 1992, and the pink puffball has made his way into the hearts of fans of all ages.

So cute, but he is a savage when it comes to ultimate

My Main

WHERES WALUIGI

9 Piranha Plant Piranha Plant

Plant gang rise up - Scarytar44

My unpopular opinion: this character suck he shouldn't be in smash - Hummingbirdf

Best. Character. Ever.

10 Incineroar Incineroar Incineroar, known in Japan as Gaogaen, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Let's face it, Smash Bros got people to finally shut up about Decidueye.

The Newcomers

The Contenders

11 Pikachu 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.

Easily the best - TealBoyxx

12 Ice Climbers Ice Climbers

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

13 Chrom 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.

14 Ganondorf Ganondorf 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.

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!

See Link
and I would also note that the character might have a chance of not being low tier trash - DapperPickle

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

16 Cloud Cloud
17 Bayonetta Bayonetta 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.

I just love how they made her dress more poofy.

20 Yoshi Yoshi 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.

Yoshi was in smash 64 so he should not be in the newcomers - Hummingbirdf
