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!

2 Inkling 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

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.

Ok, Ultimate has Daisy but not Waluigi? What kinda world is this? - MarioBros11

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!

4 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.

He literally says one thing because he's so boss he only needs to say one thing and its rawr - MarioBros11

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

5 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

That's My G!

6 Snake 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 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 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.

Pikachu is definitely the best of this list but according to the best ZeRo super smash player Mewtwo is the top

Pika! - MarioBros11

Easily the best - TealBoyxx

9 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.

10 Piranha Plant Piranha Plant

Plant gang rise up - Scarytar44

Two words.
PLANT.
GANG.

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

Best. Character. Ever.

The Contenders

11 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

12 Cloud Cloud
13 Ice Climbers 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

14 Mewtwo Mewtwo Mewtwo is a fictional creature from Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon media franchise. It was created by Dr. Fuji in an attempt to clone Mew.

One of the best Ultimate adds EVVA! - MarioBros11

One of the absolute best! Better than Peach! (She’s the worst.)

BEST, CHARACTER, EVERRR!

She is usually the character who needs saved in most Mario Games, but also has appeared as a playable character in the Main-Series Mario Games, including Super Mario 3D World, Super Mario ...read more.

I just love how they made her dress more poofy.

16 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.

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

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

Boss Litten guy - MarioBros11

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

WHERES MY GRASSTYPES?! (We don't need another fire type. We already got Charizard) - Sentimental

18 Zelda Zelda Princess Zelda is a fictional character in Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda video game series, created by Shigeru Miyamoto and introduced in its original entry in 1986.

See Link
and I also hope Zelda won't be at the bottom of tier lists with this redesign. - DapperPickle

19 Captain Falcon Captain Falcon 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!

FALCON PUNCH - MarioBros11

People do not know the power of Falcon I was on stock 5 against my brother and took 33.4% damage

20 R.O.B R.O.B

Its ROB - MarioBros11

21 Wolf Wolf

See Ice Climbers and Snake. Wolf is yet again another returning beloved character - DapperPickle

22 Isabelle Isabelle

Isabelle rocks! - ArcticWolf

If anybody says she's the worst, I bet I could beat you using her.

She is too adorable. Even though I did not want her in Smash, I'm excited she's in. - Drawbox

She is the worst

23 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.

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

24 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.

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.
