Fox [=McCloud=], the definitive fighter of ''Melee'' [[http://projectmgame.com/en/characters/fox back with a vengeance.]]

* AttackReflector: Down special activates an hexagonal barrier around Fox that reflects projectile moves back to he sender.

* LightningBruiser: His fast speed in the air and on the ground allow for some impressive combos.
* MeteorMove: Down special is a semi-spike, often used for shine spiking.

[[quoteright:220:[[labelnote:''Melee'' Falco]] https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/falco_melee_pm_1.png[[/labelnote]]]]

[[http://projectmgame.com/en/characters/falco Falco Lombardi, the very well respected and equally feared bird of prey]] of ''Melee''.

* AttackReflector: Known by the competitive community as the shine (down-B), it's used more for attacking than reflecting.
* BeamSpam: Blaster (Neutral special) is one of his most [[WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer useful tools]]. Lasers can be used to control the stage, disrupt the opponent, aid in combos, and deal a little damage. Simply put, the most effective way to use lasers is to use them a lot.

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: For the sake of variety, he still has his ''Brawl'' jab combo.

* LightningBruiser: Much like Fox, he is a fast character with devastating combos.
* MeteorMove: Down-air is a spike, and side special is a meteor smash.
* MovesetClone: With Fox, though their fighting styles are very different; Falco has an extremely useful blaster, and specializes in vertical combat. Fox has a mildly useful blaster, and specializes in horizontal combat. Their shines in particular [[IncrediblyLamePun reflect]] on their playstyles; Falco's has vertical knockback, and Fox's has horizontal knockback.

* EvilKnockoff: [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory Dark Bowser]] appears as Z-secret costume in ''Project+'' and one of his base alts in ''PMEX Remix''.

[[http://projectmgame.com/en/characters/ganondorf The legendary immortal and awesome King Of Evil.]]

%%* BeardOfEvil

* EvilLaugh: In his up taunt, he spins in the air and lets out a wicked one as he finishes.
* EvilSorcerer: More pronounced than in Brawl, as he can now float and deflect projectiles with his neutral B.

* PlayingWithFire: His side B, Flame Choke, has Ganondorf create an explosion of purple fire in his hand as he strangles his opponent, knocking them down.
* LightningBruiser: Although he could qualify as a MightyGlacier, the secret to his success is how deceptively quick he can be with the help of advanced techniques and game mechanics (eg. L-canceling). His attacks also combo very well, allowing him to output massive damage in short intervals.

* MeteorMove: Down-aerial is a meteor smash, and aerial down special is a spike. Also, Aerial Side special is a suicidal plummet of death.

* SignatureMove: Flame Choke (side-special) was one of the few attributes kept from ''Brawl'' Ganondorf because of how useful it is in a ''Melee'' environment. It can be used to quickly approach opponents and it can be followed up with several moves, including down-air, [neutral] jab, side-tilt, down-tilt, Wizard's Foot (down special), and another Flame Choke. When short-hopped, it's useful for tech chases and the last resort "Ganoncide", the act of leaping off the stage while holding the opponent to an inescapable death for the both of them. It can also be used for horizontal recovery, much like Captain Falcon's Raptor Boost.

* CallBack: The new dash attack is the roll from VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry.
* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: Spinning Kong (up-special) has him spin around like a tornado, while the new dash attack is a basic roll.

* MeteorMove: Forward-aerial and down-aerial are improved meteor smashes. Head Smash (side-special) is now a spike.
* ShoutOut: His bonus costume is his boss appearance from ''VideoGame/PunchOut''. The green team recolor (featuring black fur and a green outfit, complete with the red-striped shorts) is inspired by Little Mac in particular. ''PMEX REMIX'' gives him an additional alternate costume based on the robot body he inhabits in the "Metal Head" episode of the ''WesternAnimation/DonkeyKongCountry'' cartoon.

[[http://projectmgame.com/en/characters/bowser Bowser is built to be the ultimate tank fighter.]] His fighting style is true to his ''Melee'' incarnation, but he has new features that make him a tougher opponent. His moves have armor properties that provide consistent resistance to knockback. He can also rip through shields with his massive claws.

* EvilKnockoff: [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory Dark Bowser]] appears as a hidden alternate costume in ''Project+'' and one of his regular alts in ''PMEX Remix''.

* NoSell: His new armor mechanic protects him from being punished for his slow speed and tremendous size when approaching and attacking. The amount of armor depends on what action he performs, with super armor gained by charging up smash attacks completely resisting knockback.
* PaletteSwap: Bowser gets new costumes in ''Project+''. His new red costume resembles his red alt in ''VideoGame/MarioGolf 64'', his new green alt resembles his ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'' sprite, and one of his new blue alts resembles his appearance on the Japanese cover of ''Super Mario Bros.''

* GlassCannon: It has amazing zoning capabilities with its tail attacks and Shadow Ball, versatile finishers with its smash attacks and down aerial, and one of the best grab and throw games. It's heavier in ''Project M'' than it is in the official ''Smash'' games, but even with its increased weight, its survivability still remains an issue.

* LightningBruiser: Compared to its vanilla ''Melee'' counterpart, it deals high damage, is hard to take down, and has greater mobility compared to other fighters.

** ''Project+'' gave the normal Mewtwo a yellow alt inspired by its ''VideoGame/PokemonYellow'' sprite. Its armored costume received a copper-and-green recolor based on Team Plasma and a blue recolor based on Team Aqua.

* PoweredArmor: Its new costume is its armored appearance in ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' and ''Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie''.

* DifficultButAwesome: He's extremely sluggish, he's really big, and he (like most MightyGlacier characters in Smash) is generally considered low tier. That said, getting used to the timing for his massive amount of Super Armor frames in almost everything he does gives you a character that qualifies as both an Unstoppable Force, as well as an Unmovable Object, all in one.

* {{Fireballs}}: As of ''Project+'', Bowser's Fire Breath has been retooled to spit out fireballs instead of a stream of fire. The indicator that he can use it is the small flames coming out of his mouth.

* MightyGlacier: He's faster with his jump cancellable down special for aerial combat. Other than that, he's still close to ''Melee''-slow, but he's helped by his super armor.

* NoSell: His super armor protects him from being punished for his slow speed and tremendous size when approaching and attacking most of the time.

[[http://projectmgame.com/en/characters/mewtwo The legendary psychic pokémon]] makes a grand return after his notable absence from ''Brawl''.

* EvilLaugh: During its up taunt, Mewtwo gives a sinister laugh while spinning in the air.

* GratuitousJapanese: His lines are left untranslated in the English version.

* KamehameHadoken: Shadow Ball returns from ''Melee'', and now, Psystrike as its FinalSmash.

* MindOverMatter: Lifts and hurls items—as well as its opponents—mentally instead of using its physical strength.

*** Due the technical limitations preventing adding projectiles to characters (as opposed to modifying those they already have), Mewtwo has a new Forward-Throw that involves shrinking its opponent inside [[UnrealisticBlackHole a psychic black hole]] and [[GravityMaster crushes them inside it]].

* OlympusMons: Notable in that while it's considered to be one of the most powerful pokémon, it's a man-made clone created from another cosmic being (Mew).
* PowerCreepPowerSeep: While PurposelyOverpowered in its own series, it's considered to be one of the worst characters in ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosMelee Melee]]''. Project M seeks to balance it to hold it own with the rest of the cast, without venturing into GameBreaker status.
* PowerGlows: It's subtle, but Mewtwo's eyes glow cyan every time it uses its powers, a cool throwback to its animated appearances in the mainstream Pokemon-movies.

* TheVoiceless: During the main fights. When it wins, however, it speaks its lines from the Japanese version of ''Melee'' [[GratuitousJapanese in all versions]] of ''Project M''.
* TookALevelInBadass: Often considered to be one of the worst characters in the original ''Melee'', it was improved in almost every way for ''Project M''. It is no longer lightweight, its tail no longer gives it the massively disjointed hurtbox as before, all of its attacks are faster and more powerful, its Teleport no longer makes it helpless, and it has the ability to float like Peach. In fact, it's climbed from [[http://www.ssbwiki.com/Tier_List#Super_Smash_Bros._Melee_tier_list 21st of 26]] in ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosMelee Melee]]'' to first place in the ''Project M'' [[http://clashtournaments.com/project-m-3-02-final-tier-list/ tier list.]]

* TheUnexpected: Yet again, but for a different reason than the one in ''Melee'': Early in the project's history, technical limitations at the time made his return highly doubtful. His trailer revealed not only himself, but that the "Clone Engine" [[note]]a formerly hypothetical program that makes it possible to add more characters to the game (instead of replacing those that already exist)[[/note]] was finally completed.

[[quoteright:260:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tex1_128x160_a90b6534d861d7ef_594449b6828492ff_9.png]]

* CoolHat: Gets one with every successful use of his neutral B attack, mimicking the character Kirby just swallowed.

* PowerCopying: Naturally. Several changes had to be made to facilitate Kirby's copy ability in Project M. Some character's neutral special moves have changed very radically from their Brawl counterparts, and the addition of two characters didn't make things easier for the Project M Back Room. Due to the difficulty of adding a new projectile to a character, Kirby received Mewtwo's down special Disable attack instead of his neutral special Shadow Ball. Roy's neutral special attack actually uses the Cutter from Kirby's up special, but otherwise functions the same.

* DualModeUnit: The Plasma Beam racks up damage. The Ice Beam finishes opponents off.

* ShoutOut: During some of her attacks with the Ice Beam, her arm cannon will be frosted over. This happened during ''Metroid Prime'' whenever she charged an Ice Beam shot.

Mario has the best of ''Melee'' Mario and Doctor Mario [[http://projectmgame.com/en/characters/mario in a single moveset.]] He also comes with a Dr. Mario alternate costume, complete with changing his fireballs to pills.

** His Down Taunt is now Doctor Mario's taunt from ''Melee'', only with a fireball instead of a megavitamin. The Dr. Mario taunt changes it back to a Megavitamin.

* {{Shotoclone}}: He's got a [[{{Fireballs}} fireball]] [[KamehameHadoken Hadoken]], and a coin gathering {{Shoryuken}}.It's like he's Ryu ''and'' Ken because he's a mix of ''Melee'' Mario and Doctor Mario.

One of ''Melee''[='=]s top-tier threats [[http://projectmgame.com/en/characters/sheik returns for another round.]] Her moveset was balanced so that she doesn't automatically have unfair advantageous matchups due to her infamous ''Melee'' NTSC down-throw, yet she has a few buffs on other moves to fairly compensate. Her new down-throw is a similar yet buffed version of her ''Melee'' PAL down-throw; while it no longer guarantees chain throws, it's executed faster, and thus harder for the opponent to DI out of. Her back-throw is faster and knocks the opponent at a higher angle, so it gives new options for combos. Side-smash was improved as a combo option as well.

In the official ''Smash'' games, Fox and Falco have it in ''Melee'', and Fox, Falco, Wolf, and Snake have it in ''Brawl''. However, Ness's in ''PM'' differs in that the window of execution is much larger (so it's easier to do), it's not restricted to any stage, it can be done more than once during the match, it's done with the up-taunt button instead of the down-taunt button, and it can still be done if someone has a Final Smash ready.[[/note]], which is [[spoiler:to strike a pose and flash a peace sign, and it's implied that the cameraman from ''Videogame/EarthBound'' takes his picture off-screen.]] Also doubles as a CallBack.

[[http://projectmgame.com/en/characters/bowser Bowser is built to be the ultimate tank fighter.]] His fighting style is true to his ''Melee'' incarnation, but he has new features that make him a tougher opponent. His moves have armor properties that provide consistent resistance to knockback. He can also rip through shields with his ''massive claws''.

* BreathWeapon: His neutral special flame-canceling technique from ''Melee'' is back.

* EasterEgg: His side-taunt [[spoiler:is an attack that does up to 20% damage]].
* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: His Down Smash and his Spinning Fortress moves. Fortress Hogging is another returning ''Melee'' technique.
* GroundPound: It's now jump cancelable before the apex of the leap.

* MeteorMove: Bowser's returning side-special now has a downward throw option, which knocks down grounded foes while spiking those in the air. [[https://youtu.be/JrTHSSn4q_U?t=1m2s It's also animated to be one of the most uncivilized moves in the game, and that's saying something.]]

* MightyRoar: Lets one out in his new taunt.

* ShoutOut: Although all ''Smash'' games have some form of super armor, ''Project M'' is the first to use the mechanic in a way similar to that of traditional fighters such as ''StreetFighter IV''.[[note]]In traditional fighters, super armor is present on particularly laggy attacks to protect the user.[[/note]]

* {{Mon}}: The SeriesMascot, which is why he has been in every Super Smash Bros. game despite not being that prominent in his own series.
