Quick notes

  • Eight challengers have match milestones. Complete standard Smash matches and defeat the challenger when it appears.
  • The original roster counts three Mii types. The base game contains 51 fighters when Brawler, Swordfighter and Gunner are counted separately.
  • Seven DLC fighters require ownership. Mewtwo, Lucas, Roy, Ryu, Cloud, Corrin and Bayonetta are separate add-ons.
  • Learn a recovery before a combo. A new fighter’s jump height, aerial speed and upward special decide whether they return to the stage.
