[[File:Lucina SSBU.png|thumb|200px|Lucina in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]

'''Lucina''' is the future daughter of [[Chrom]] who made her debut as one of the main characters in ''[[fireemblem:Fire Emblem Awakening|Fire Emblem Awakening]]''. She appears as a newcomer playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', revealed in the same trailer as [[#Robin|Robin]], another character from ''Fire Emblem Awakening''. In her game of origin, she initially appears disguised as a masked "[[Marth]]", having traveled through time to stop the awakening of the evil Fell Dragon [[fireemblem:Grima|Grima]], helping Chrom's [[fireemblem:Shepherds (group)|Shepherds]] on occasion and eventually joining them after revealing her identity. Lucina wields the [[fireemblem:Parallel Falchion|Parallel Falchion]], a reforged version of [[fireemblem:Falchion (Archanea)|the same sword]] used by Marth and Chrom.

[[File:Lucina SSB4.png|thumb|left|Lucina's artwork for ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'']]

Lucina is an unlockable character in both ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''. To unlock her in the Nintendo 3DS version, the player must either complete Classic Mode as Marth without the use of continues or play 40 Smash matches, then defeat her in a 1-stock match on the [[Arena Ferox]] stage. In the Wii U version, the player can unlock her by completing Classic Mode on Intensity 5.5 or higher or by playing 30 Smash matches, then defeating her in a 1-stock match on the [[Coliseum (stage)|Coliseum]] stage. She is voiced by {{wp|Yū Kobayashi}} in the Japanese versions of the games, and by {{wp|Laura Bailey (voice actress)|Laura Bailey}} in the English versions, both reprising their roles from ''Fire Emblem Awakening''. She was originally meant to be an alternative costume for [[Marth]], but was later made a separate character, the reason being that she has traits that differentiate her from Marth.<ref>http://www.gonintendo.com/s/233268-sakurai-talks-lucina-s-inclusion-in-smash-bros-wii-u-3ds-why-chrom-didn-t-make-the-cut</ref> Lucina is the only unlockable character that was announced before the Japanese release of the Nintendo 3DS version.

====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====

Lucina returns as an unlockable playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. This time, she is classified as an Echo Fighter of Marth. Lucina's victory theme is now a short arrangement of "Id (Purpose)", a song from ''Fire Emblem Awakening''. Lucina retains the same major gameplay difference setting her apart from Marth; her sword attacks dealing consistent damage across the entirety of her blade.

==Dark Pit==

[[File:DarkPit SSBU.png|thumb|200px|Dark Pit in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]

'''Dark Pit''' (sometimes called '''Pittoo''' by [[Pit (character)|Pit]] and [[#Palutena|Palutena]]) is an imperfect, opposite clone of Pit created after the destruction of the [[icaruspedia:Mirror of Truth|Mirror of Truth]], in the events of ''[[icaruspedia:Kid Icarus: Uprising|Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. He serves as an anti-hero, being somewhat of a rival to Pit. Compared to Pit's, his personality is more serious and aggressive, rejecting the idea of being a servant to anyone. His appearance is identical to Pit's, except with the dark coloring to his clothing, wings and hair. His character was most likely based off the "fallen angel" coloration of Pit in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', as both ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' were made by [[Sora Ltd.]]

Dark Pit makes an appearance as an unlockable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', Dark Pit can be unlocked by playing 50 Smash matches or clearing Classic with three different characters and then defeating him on [[Reset Bomb Forest]], while in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', he is unlocked by playing 40 matches or clearing All-Star on Normal difficulty, then defeating him on [[Palutena's Temple]]. He was originally planned to be an alternate costume for Pit, but was made a full character after he began to receive balancing differences to give him distinct records<ref>Soma (July 9, 2015).

Retrieved January 9, 2016.</ref>. Dark Pit is the only newcomer who did not have a reveal trailer; his inclusion in the game was instead hinted at the end of Palutena's trailer. Like in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'', Dark Pit shares his voice actors with Pit, who also reprise their roles for this game: Antony Del Rio in English and Minami Takayama in Japanese.

====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====

Dark Pit returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as an unlockable playable character. This time, he is classified as an Echo Fighter based on Pit. Dark Pit can be unlocked by playing VS. mode matches, being the 54th character unlocked. Dark Pit can also be unlocked in Classic Mode through Samus's unlocking tree, or joining the player's party in Adventure Mode: World of Light.

Additionally, Dark Pit makes appearances in two newly recorded [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|Palutena's Guidance]] conversations, namely those of the [[Ice Climbers]] and [[Wolf O'Donnell|Wolf]].

The '''Wii Fit Trainer''' is the exercise coach appearing in the ''{{wp|Wii Fit}}'' line of games, who guides players through the games' routines and poses.

[[File:SSB4 - Wii Fit Trainer Artwork.png|thumb|left|The female Wii Fit Trainer's appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U'']]

Wii Fit Trainer is one of the new playable fighters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. Like in the series of origin, Wii Fit Trainer has male variants available as alternate costumes in addition to the default female trainer.

====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====

The female and male Wii Fit Trainers return as unlockable veteran fighters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', where their faces have been slightly redesigned. According to director [[Masahiro Sakurai]], this redesign was requested by the ''Wii Fit'' developers.<ref> Nintendo. (June 13, 2018). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akohTFyGu88 Nintendo Direct: E3 2018] ''YouTube''. Retrieved June 13, 2018.</ref> Wii Fit Trainer has received many improvements to their moves, such as: increased mobility, reduced short hop timing, decreased landing lag in their aerial attacks, the reintroduction of directional air dodges, and the abilities to use any ground attack out of a run, and using aerial attacks on ladders. Wii Fit Trainer also receives direct improvements to their overall damage output, as well as the ability to knock back opponents and the placements of their attacks.

In the World of Light, the female Wii Fit Trainer is present when the fighters oppose [[Galeem]] for the first time. She is seen alongside [[Villager]] and [[Duck Hunt (character)|Duck Hunt]] when she is eliminated by Galeem's large laser attack.

===Portrayals===

Owing to ''Wii Fit'' having multiple voice actors between languages, Wii Fit Trainer is one of few characters who has more than two foreign-language tracks in both ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'' and ''Ultimate''. Wii Fit Trainer also has entirely different voice clips in English and Spanish between the American and European releases, making up a total of eight language tracks for each gender, exceeding [[Pokémon Trainer]], [[Lucario]], [[Sonic]], and [[Shadow (character)|Shadow]], who have six each (with the former two also having seven each in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''). Note that the Dutch, Portuguese (''3DS'' / ''Wii U'' only), and Russian versions reuse the British English audio, and Korean and Chinese (''Ultimate'' only) versions reuse the Japanese audio, as with most other characters. They are voiced by the following actors:

*American English: October Moore (female) / Steven Heinke (male)

*British English: Tania Emery (female) / Luke Smith (male)

==Little Mac==

[[File:LittleMac SSBU.png|thumb|200px|Little Mac in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]

'''Little Mac''' is the protagonist of the {{wp|Punch-Out!!|''Punch-Out!!'' series}}. A boxer from {{wp|the Bronx}}, [[New York City]], Little Mac trains under Doc Louis in order to become the world champion of the World Video Boxing Association (WVBA). Little Mac has made several crossover appearances with [[Mario]], [[Donkey Kong]], and other characters from the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], some of which are via appearances in the ''Punch-Out!!'' series itself.

====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''====

[[File:LittleMacSSB4.png|thumb|left|Little Mac's artwork in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'']]

Little Mac was revealed as a new playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' on February 13, 2014, becoming the first fighter in the series to have previously been an Assist Trophy.<ref name="Mac Trailer">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmtrmAvL5aw]</ref> Unlike in ''Brawl'', Little Mac sports a slightly modified version of his design from the Wii version of ''Punch-Out!!'' As expected for a boxer, Little Mac is a close-ranged fighter, with all but one of his moves being some variation of a punch.

====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====

Little Mac returns as an unlockable playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', retaining many of his moves from the previous installment. His Final Smash is now Giga Mac Rush; while he still transforms into Giga Mac like in the previous installment, he can no longer move freely as him, instead attacking opponents on the spot with repeated punches. Little Mac benefits from the game's universal changes: his already quick mobility is faster; his recovery is greatly extended through the reintroduction of directional air dodges; his short hop timing is shortened; his aerial attacks have less landing lag; and he can now use any grounded attack out of a dash and any of his aerials on ladders. Little Mac's recovery further benefits from his side and up specials travelling farther, while attacks like his forward smash lose their weak hitboxes to deal consistent damage. On the flipside, however, his standard attack and forward and up tilts deal less damage, while some of his attacks deal less knockback. Also, his alternate costumes now consist of six normal costumes and two wireframe costumes, to keep the total number of costumes consistent with other characters.

Greninja is featured as a playable character in both ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. During development, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] had already determined that a new Pokémon would be included as a playable character, and chose Greninja based on concept drawings before the games, ''Pokémon X'' and ''Y'', were released.

====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====

Greninja reappears as an unlockable playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Greninja's Final Smash remains as Secret Ninja Attack, but it transforms into [[bulbapedia:Ash's Greninja|Ash-Greninja]] before using the move. Additionally, attacks involving Greninja's water katanas are now replaced by water kunai.

In the World of Light, Greninja, alongside [[Lucario]], are present when the fighters oppose [[Galeem]] for the first time. Greninja attempts to dodge Galeem's beams of light, but is unsuccessful and both of them were eliminated.

==Palutena==

[[File:PalutenaSSBU.png|thumb|200px|Palutena in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]

'''Palutena''' is the goddess of light and female lead of the [[icaruspedia:Kid Icarus (series)|''Kid Icarus'' series]]. She serves as the damsel in distress in the original games, but takes on a more proactive role in [[Masahiro Sakurai]]'s ''[[icaruspedia:Kid Icarus: Uprising|Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'', providing protagonist [[Pit (character)|Pit]] with guidance and powers from afar. In contrast to her serene, elegant appearance, Palutena has a playful "trickster" personality that she uses to tease Pit and other characters on occasion.

<div class="contentbox mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"data-expandtext="Show history"data-collapsetext="Hide history">

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Palutena is featured in [[Pit (character)|Pit]]'s [[Final Smash]], Palutena's Army. Pit calls her forth to assist him in battle, to which she then appears as a giant (not her actual size, but her chosen manifestation for this appearance). She will then summon an army of [[Centurion]]s to attack Pit's opponents, who attack by dive bombing at incredible speeds.

====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''====

[[File:Palutena SSB4.png|thumb|left|Palutena's artwork from ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'']]

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', Palutena appears as a playable fighter and newcomer. Unlike most other fighters, though like the [[Mii|Mii Fighter]]s, Palutena's custom special moves are not variations of the default moves but rather entirely different moves, and all of them are available from the start.

====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====

Palutena returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', this time as an unlockable playable fighter. In this game, she has a set attack for each special move: her down special functions as both Counter and Reflect Barrier, possessing a similar property to [[King K. Rool]] and [[Joker]]'s similar moves; Warp appears as her up special; Explosive Flame appears as her side special; and Autoreticle appears as her neutral special. Generally, Palutena has been improved since the previous installment, having more speed and power in her attacks, while her mobility is increased. Palutena's forward and down smash attacks are both nicknamed Goddess Wings, while her down aerial's nickname is Purging Kick.

Palutena also makes an appearance in the World of Light's opening cutscene, where she tries to reflect [[Galeem]]'s large laser attack while granting the Power of Flight to both Pit and Dark Pit, but fails and is eliminated, cutting off Pit and Dark Pit's flight and causing them to fall to Galeem's attack as well. The real Palutena does not appear until Galeem starts to confront [[Dharkon]] after the first defeat; she represents Galeem's side in the Final Battle area alongside [[Roy (Fire Emblem)|Roy]] and [[Master Hand]], and must be awoken to progress the story.

=====Classic Mode route=====

Palutena's Classic Mode route involves fighting characters associated with deities in some way. Its route title comes from a phrase Palutena says in her debut character trailer for the previous game (quoted above).

'''Robin''' is a character from the ''Fire Emblem'' series, who made their debut in ''[[fireemblem:Fire Emblem Awakening|Fire Emblem Awakening]]'' as the customizable player avatar, and one of the game's main protagonists alongside [[Chrom]] and [[#Lucina|Lucina]]. In their game of origin, Robin is an amnesiac who comes to serve as the tactician of Chrom's [[fireemblem:Shepherds|Shepherds]], and rises to fame after helping their home country of [[fireemblem:Ylisse|Ylisse]] win a number of wars, but is also sought by the game's main antagonists for purposes involving the resurrection of the Fell Dragon [[fireemblem:Grima|Grima]].

Unlike most Nintendo protagonists, the original Robin is highly customizable, with a number of build, hairstyle, face, and voice options for both genders.

Robin appears as a newcomer in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. with both male and female variations, using their preset default appearances and voices from ''Fire Emblem Awakening''. Unlike other ''[[fireemblem:Fire Emblem (series)|Fire Emblem]]'' characters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'', Robin not only uses a sword, but also [[fireemblem:Tome|tomes]] to cast magic attacks. Most of Robin's moves also operate similarly to ''Fire Emblem''{{'}}s [[fireemblem:Durability|durability]] mechanic: if certain attacks are used enough times, they can no longer be used until a cooldown period passes. Robin's smash attacks and air attacks all use a [[fireemblem:Lightning Sword|Levin Sword]] (using its ''Fire Emblem Awakening'' appearance), which can only be used eight times before it is replaced by a weaker [[fireemblem:Bronze Sword|Bronze Sword]]; the Bronze Sword is also used for all of Robin's other non-special attacks. Robin is also one of the slower characters on the ground, having the slowest running speed of any character.

====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====

[[File:Robin (Female) SSBU.png|thumb|left|Robin's female variant in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.]]

Robin reappears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', this time as an unlockable playable character. In this installment, a meter indicating how much longer Robin can use their tomes and Levin Sword is displayed above their character profile at the bottom of the screen. Robin's Final Smash remains unchanged, despite Chrom appearing in the game as a playable character. Additionally, Robin's victory theme is now a short arrangement of "Id (Purpose)", a song from ''Fire Emblem Awakening''. Robin benefits from universal changes: their mobility is faster, their short hop timing is reduced, their aerial attacks' landing lag is decreased, they can directionally air dodge, and they can use any ground attack out of a run and any aerial attack on ladders. Robin receives direct improvements to their KO ability, with many of their attacks dealing more knockback. Many of their attacks also have less startup and ending lag.

Shulk returns as an unlockable veteran fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Shulk's hair now changes color depending on the costume he chooses, to better reflect their representations of various ''Xenoblade Chronicles'' characters. Shulk receives mobility improvements, like all other characters, though his moveset receives some minor adjustments, such as Mecha-Fiora appearing in Chain Attack. His Monado Arts also enhance his abilities to a greater extent.

In the World of Light, Shulk is present when the fighters oppose [[Galeem]] for the first time. With Vision, he predicted that the fighters would be vaporized by Galeem's attack.

'''Duck Hunt''' (known as '''Duck Hunt Duo''' and variations thereof in European languages, and individually referred to as '''Dog''' and '''Duck''') is the name that refers to the playable tag team of a hunting dog and a duck in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. True to their team name, the dog and duck hail from the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] video game ''{{wp|Duck Hunt}}''. In addition to their appearances in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'']] series, the dog and variants of the duck have made other crossover guest appearances within the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise in other instances, mainly within the ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' series.

[[File:DuckHuntSSB4.png|thumb|left|Duck Hunt in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U'']]

Duck Hunt appear as unlockable newcomers in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. Although they fight as a duo,<ref>[https://www.smashbros.com/en_US/blog/index.html?category=cat02_fighter_59 Super Smash Blog | 59: Duck Hunt]</ref> Duck Hunt do not truly adhere to the tag team archetype first used by the [[Ice Climbers]] and perpetuated by [[Rosalina]] & [[Luma]]. This is due to the duck's own hurtbox being directly next to the dog's hurtbox at almost all times. Duck Hunt's moveset largely consists of moves based around the NES Zapper and games that use it, particularly ''Hogan's Alley'' and ''Wild Gunman'', while incorporating physical attacks from both the dog and duck.

====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====

Duck Hunt return as unlockable veterans in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. In the transition to ''Ultimate'', they received noticeable improvements to their moveset and the dog can run faster, although they are now noticeably lighter. The dog is also much more vocal, as he barks and yelps in a number of instances instead of solely during their star KO animation. Along with several other characters, Duck Hunt retain their victory theme from the previous game, albeit sped up.

Duck Hunt reappear in [[Banjo]] & [[Kazooie]]'s announcement trailer "Best Friends", with a similar role to [[King Dedede]] in the [[King K. Rool]] announcement trailer, "The Rivals".

'''{{fandom|streetfighter|Ryu}}''' is one of the central characters of [[Capcom]]'s ''{{wp|Street Fighter}}'' series, appearing in every game in the series since the first. He is a practitioner of a unique martial art known as Ansatsuken. He appears as a downloadable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', making him the first downloadable character to be both a newcomer and a third-party character. Players who purchase him off the Nintendo eShop also get his ''{{wp|Street Fighter II}}'' stage, [[Suzaku Castle]]. He is voiced by his voice actors for all versions of ''{{wp|Street Fighter IV}}'' and ''{{wp|Street Fighter V}}'': [[Kyle Hebert]] in English, and Hiroki Takahashi in Japanese.

===''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''===

[[File:Ryu-SSB4.png|thumb|left|150px|Ryu's artwork in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'']]

Similar to [[Mario]] and like in the ''Street Fighter'' series, Ryu is an "all-around" character and excels in hand-to-hand combat. However, this is only in terms of basic attributes; unlike Mario and unlike in his home series, Ryu is designed to be a very difficult but rewarding character who relies on combos and dexterity, to highlight the differences between ''Super Smash Bros.'' and traditional fighting games. All of Ryu's attacks also originate from the ''Street Fighter'' series. Like in the original ''{{wp|Street Fighter (video game)|Street Fighter}}'', the power of Ryu's attacks is dependent on how long the player holds down the attack buttons. His standard special is the [[SmashWiki:Hadoken|Hadoken]], his side special is the [[SmashWiki:Tatsumaki Senpukyaku|Tatsumaki Senpukyaku]], his up special is the [[SmashWiki:Shoryuken|Shoryuken]], and his down special is [[SmashWiki:Focus Attack|Focus Attack]]. By inputting the original ''Street Fighter'' button inputs for his special moves, they are stronger when executed. Ryu also has two [[Final Smash]] attacks, the only character in the game with this distinction. If used normally, the Final Smash is a [[SmashWiki:Shinku Hadoken|Shinku Hadoken]], which sends a larger Hadouken across the screen that can pull in fighters; if used next to an opponent, the Final Smash is a [[SmashWiki:Shin Shoryuken|Shin Shoryuken]], which is a more powerful Shoryuken.

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===

Ryu reappears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as part of the base game alongside the other DLC characters from the previous installment, this time as an unlockable character. His appearance has been updated to reflect his design in ''Street Fighter V''. In one-on-one matches, Ryu always faces his opponents, similar to his original games. In addition, Ryu's friend and rival, [[Ken Masters]], appears as an Echo Fighter of Ryu.

Ryu received multiple improvements, including reduced short-hop timing, less landing lag in his aerial attacks, and the ability to use any ground attack out of a run and any of his aerial attacks while climbing ladders. Additionally, some of Ryu's moves, such as his neutral attack, change depending on his distance from opponent(s). However, many of his moves have smaller hitboxes, Focus Attack's armor is weaker, and his neutral aerial is much harder to chain into due to its higher ending lag.

====Classic Mode route====

Unlike other Classic Mode routes, all of Ryu's rounds are Stamina battles to emulate the gameplay of the ''Street Fighter'' series, with both fighters starting with 150 HP and the opponents being based on ''Street Fighter'' characters. Additionally, the Bonus Game takes place partway through the route after Round 4 as opposed to Round 6, a reference to the single player modes in the ''Street Fighter'' series.

[[File:Cloud SSBU.png|thumb|200px|Cloud in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]

'''{{fandom|finalfantasy|Cloud Strife}}''' is the main protagonist from [[Square Enix]]'s ''{{wp|Final Fantasy VII}}'' and its spin-off material of the {{wp|Final Fantasy|''Final Fantasy'' series}}. A mercenary claiming to be a former first-class SOLDIER, Cloud leads a ragtag group of heroes to stop the evil [[Sephiroth]]'s plan to become a god by using the Black Materia to summon Meteor and destroy the planet. He crosses over with the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' cast]] and other Nintendo characters as a newcomer and downloadable character for ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', confirmed during the November 2015 Nintendo Direct,<ref name="Nintendo Direct">Nintendo (November 12, 2015).

==Corrin==

[[File:Corrin SSBU.png|thumb|200px|Corrin in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]

'''Corrin''' is the main protagonist and avatar unit from the ''[[fireemblem:Fire Emblem (series)|Fire Emblem]]'' trio of games, ''[[fireemblem:Fire Emblem Fates|Fire Emblem Fates]]'', first released in Japan in June 2015. Corrin was born as a member of the [[fireemblem:Hoshido|Hoshido]] kingdom royal family, but was kidnapped and raised by the royalty in the [[fireemblem:Nohr|Nohr]] kingdom. The game revolves around the avatar as they are given the choice to join the side of either Hoshido or Nohr, or join neither side and instead head to the kingdom of [[fireemblem:Valla|Valla]] to destroy the entity who created the war between Hoshido and Nohr. The male and female versions of Corrin are voiced by {{wp|Cam Clarke}} and {{plain link|[https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/Marcella-Lentz-Pope/ Marcella Lentz-Pope]}}, respectively.

<div class="contentbox mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"data-expandtext="Show history"data-collapsetext="Hide history">

===''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''===

[[File:Corrin (SSB for N3DS - Wii U artwork).png|thumb|left|Corrin's artwork in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'']]

Corrin is a newcomer to ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', and like [[Villager]], [[#Wii Fit Trainer|Wii Fit Trainer]], and [[#Robin|Robin]] in the game, the player can choose to play as male or female Corrin. Corrin was released internationally as downloadable content on February 3, 2016, 16 days before Corrin's debut games were released in America and three months before their release in Europe and Australia. Unlike other DLC newcomers, there is no exclusive new stage to download alongside Corrin; however, two new songs, the original and an arranged version of the main theme of ''Fire Emblem Fates'', "Lost in Thoughts All Alone," are added to the [[Coliseum (stage)|Coliseum]] and [[Castle Siege]] stages instead, and two other trophies of their foster older brother [[fireemblem:Xander|Xander]] and their older step-brother [[fireemblem:Ryoma|Ryoma]] from ''Fire Emblem Fates'' are added only in the Nintendo 3DS version.  Much like Robin, Corrin's design can be customized in the debut games, though uses the default design in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]].

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===

Corrin reappears as an unlockable playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Corrin's moveset is largely unchanged, but the third hit of their standard attack is now an outward slash, their pummel is a knee kick, and their back aerial has a greater push effect. Corrin benefits from universal changes: their mobility is faster, their short hop timing is reduced, their aerial attacks' landing lag is reduced, they can directionally air dodge, and they can use any ground attack out of a run and any aerial attack on ladders. Corrin's special moves all have more startup, ending, and landing lag, while they either have less range or grant less height than before. Corrin's forward smash is also slower and shorter in range, in spite of its charging hits dealing more damage. Some of Corrin's attacks deal less damage as well. Additionally, Corrin's victory theme is now a short arrangement of "Lost in Thoughts All Alone", rather than the generic ''Fire Emblem'' victory fanfare.

{{br}}

====Classic Mode route====

Corrin's Classic Mode route involves fighting characters in white and black colored alternate costumes (except if they are colored as such by default), as well as Corrin themselves. This represents the conflict between Nohr and Hoshido in ''Fire Emblem Fates''.

==Bayonetta==

[[File:Bayonetta SSBU.png|thumb|200px|Bayonetta in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]

'''{{fandom|bayonetta|Bayonetta (character)|Bayonetta}}''' (birth name '''Cereza''') is the main protagonist from the ''{{wp|Bayonetta}}'' series developed by {{wp|PlatinumGames}} and owned by [[Sega]]. She is an Umbra Witch, a member of an ancient clan affiliated with Inferno that practiced dark arts and was sealed away in coffins for 500 years. After being awakened in the present day, she has no memory of her past, and fights against the forces of Paradiso to remember and uncover who she really is.

<div class="contentbox mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"data-expandtext="Show history"data-collapsetext="Hide history">

===''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''===

[[File:Bayonetta (SSB for N3DS - Wii U artwork).png|thumb|left|Bayonetta's default appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U'']]

Bayonetta appears as a downloadable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', chosen based on the results of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' Fighter Ballot, as the top most requested character in Europe, among the top five characters in the United States, and the most requested in the world out of all recognizable character suggestions.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8FCtjIb47Y Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U - Final Video Presentation]</ref> This makes her the second character in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] to come from an M-rated series (the first being [[Solid Snake]] from the {{wp|Metal Gear (series)|''Metal Gear'' series}}), and the only female third-party fighter in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. Also, excluding the female variant of [[#Corrin|Corrin]], Bayonetta is the only female DLC fighter in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''. She comes bundled with her own stage, [[Umbra Clock Tower]], and is voiced by her respective voice actresses from ''Bayonetta'': {{fandom|bayonetta|Hellena Taylor}} in English, and {{wp|Atsuko Tanaka (voice actress)|Atsuko Tanaka}} in Japanese.

While Bayonetta's normal appearance is largely based on her design in ''Bayonetta 2'', her design from the original ''Bayonetta'' is available as an alternate costume, which also changes some of her visual effects to match her "red" design in that game. In addition, in the Japanese release, Hellena Taylor's voice clips are used when using this costume, as the original release of ''Bayonetta'' did not have Japanese voice acting. She also has an alternate coloration based on her rival turned ally Jeanne, which also changes the color of her hair when using smash attacks and her Final Smash to white. Thus, Bayonetta is one of two characters in the series to change weapons depending on the costume (using her original guns, Scarborough Fair, rather than Love is Blue for her original design), and is the only character in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'' whose visual effects are different depending on the costume.

Bayonetta can be equipped with the Suit and Boots equipment. Oddly, Bayonetta can also use the Zapper equipment, which is designed for characters who originated from NES titles, though in her case, it is most likely to reference her reliance on guns.

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===

Bayonetta reappears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', this time as an unlockable character. Bayonetta runs faster and her Bullet Arts can be angled during certain moves. However, her special moves have generally become weaker and slower, and she is now lighter than [[Falco Lombardi|Falco]] and [[Rosalina]]. The sounds of her gunshots change slightly depending on the origin of her costume.

In the World of Light, Bayonetta is seen when the fighters oppose [[Galeem]] for the first time. She attempts to dodge Galeem's beams of light, but is unsuccessful and is turned into a puppet fighter who initially serves Galeem, but is later brought under [[Dharkon]]'s control. She is fought in Dharkon's side of the Final Battle area alongside [[Dark Samus]] and [[Crazy Hand]], and must be awoken to progress the story.

====Classic Mode route====

Bayonetta's Classic Mode route involving winged characters, representing various enemies from her home series. Unlike most other routes, the Bonus Game in this Classic Mode route takes place between rounds 5 and 6.
