** Sakurai notes that some of his moves are actually taken from Richter Belmont, his descendant, when talking about Richter's status as an Echo Fighter. Specifically, all the moves that gave him mobility which are Tackle (his dash attack), Slide Jump (his down tilt), and Upper (his Up Special, and technically is called High Jump in the series). His Final Smash Grand Cross is also from Richter, as the games featuring him do not have Item Crash.

'''Everyone is HERE!'''

* ArtEvolution: In ''Wii U/3DS'', she was based on her appearance in ''Corruption'', and thus looked fairly smoothed out. ''Ultimate'' updated the design to add more detail, such as some parts of her body being more spaced out from each other, pronouncing her organic TronLines, looking slimier, and with some of her veins more noticeably popping out. She also has a thinner visor, a touch from ''Echoes''.

* EvilIsBigger: He rivals Ganondorf as the most genuinely evil playable character in a ''Super Smash Bros.'' game, and he rivals Bowser as the biggest.

'''Final Smash:''' [[WaveMotionGun Zero Laser]]

The main antagonist of the ''VideoGame/MetroidPrimeTrilogy'', Dark Samus is the reincarnation of Metroid Prime, a Metroid heavily mutated by the substance known as Phazon. Surviving her first defeat by stealing one of Samus' armors, the reborn Dark Samus seeks to "[[OmnicidalManiac corrupt]]" the universe at large by spreading Phazon wherever she goes. She appears in ''Smash Bros.'' as an Echo Fighter of Samus.\\

* GlowingEyesOfDoom: He has glowing yellow eyes like he does in ''Metroid''. It's especially apparent in his reveal trailer, where the eyes are among just a few sources of light in that room.

* PaletteSwap: Many of Ridley's alternate colors are references to his non-purple appearances throughout the ''Metroid'' series. He also has an orange alternate with blue wing membranes and a red tail-spike — resembling Charizard's color scheme.
* ThePowerOfHate: Possibly why his Final Smash focuses on him destroying Samus's Gunship; Ridley's relationship with Samus on his side doesn't go much deeper than his unbridled hate for her.
* PrimalStance: He's almost always crouched down low to the ground, to where his claws are almost touching the floor. This is justified since this is, mechanically and tactically, to make him as small a target as possible; one of his taunts is merely him standing slightly more upright, and this alone demonstrates that he ''towers'' over most fighters in the game.

* ThrowTheMookAtThem: The Blunderbuss can suck in an opposing player and use them as ammo.

The Kong family's original ArchEnemy, the leader of the Kremlings. Usually content with stealing their bananas/medals/[[WesternAnimation/DonkeyKongCountry Crystal Coconut]], he's actually tried to go after the Kongs themselves on a few occasions. After being absent from games for nearly a decade, K. Rool makes his triumphant return as a playable character in ''Ultimate''.

* BreathWeapon: Similar to Bowser and Charizard, he has a fire-breathing attack called Plasma Breath, although his are fireballs that move in a wave-pattern and travel on the ground. His Final Smash launches his opponent against Samus' ship in space, and follows it up by breathing a massive beam of energy that causes the ship to explode.

* LimitBreak: Grand Cross. It's a cinematic attack where Simon summons a coffin. Any enemies hit by this are treated with a cutscene where he unleashes crosses of light to the coffin to damage the players within. Very fitting considering how Grand Cross is an Item Crash of the Cross item and Item Crashes themselves are {{Limit Break}}s of the franchise. See also HolyHandGrenade above.

The main character of ''Fire Emblem Awakening''. Chrom is the leader of the Shepherds, Exalt of Ylisse, and father to Lucina. After being ousted from the roster of the previous game, Chrom finally gets his chance to fight alongside his daughter, as well as his strategist, Robin. In ''Smash'', he shares Roy's aggressive, forceful moveset to contrast Lucina, but has a variant of Ike's Aether for his Up-B.

* CompositeCharacter: He's primarily an Echo Fighter of Roy (making him share similarities with Marth by extension), though he also has Ike's Up Special and a different Final Smash from either of them. His slashes also sound heavy like Ike's unlike the more sharp noises Roy and Marth have.

--> '''Debut:''' ''Videogame/Metroid1'' [NES], 1986

First appearing as alternate skins for Peach, Daisy finally throws her crown in the Smashing scene, being the first new Echo Fighter to be confirmed for ''Ultimate''. She plays similarly to her companion, but with her own subtle differences that set the two apart.

The feisty Princess of the four kingdoms of Sarasaland, Daisy was saved by Mario from the evil alien Tatanga and since then has been a firm friend of the Mushroom Kingdom crew, joining them in everything from [[VideoGame/MarioKart Go-Karting]] to [[VideoGame/MarioTennis Tennis]] and now, Smashing.

* BreathWeapon: Similar to Bowser and Charizard, he has a fire-breathing attack, although his are fireballs that move in a wave-pattern and travel on the ground. His Final Smash launches his opponent against Samus' ship in space, and follows it up by breathing a massive beam of energy that causes the ship to explode.

* ChargedAttack: In addition to his Smash attacks, Ridley's Neutral and Down Special attacks can be charged to deal additional damage.

* FatBastard: He's Donkey Kong's ArchEnemy, and he's got quite a gut on him. He even weaponizes it, both as a Dash Attack and as a counter move.

* {{Kevlard}}: One of his moves shown during his trailer is a counter that consists of him simply using his ''gut'' to bounce back enemy attacks. He also was shown to have a diving belly flop with [[ImmuneToFlinching Super Armor]], smacking his belly afterwards (presumably one of his taunts) to emphasize his toughness.

* WeaponsThatSuck: The second part of his Blunderbuss special is that it sucks projectiles or players, before firing them as another projectile. He can even suck the cannon ball he fired earlier.

%%* LimitBreak: Grand Cross. See HolyHandGrenade above.

* NoBiologicalSex: Being Metroid Prime, Dark Samus is biologically genderless, but is referred to as a female due to her resemblance to Samus, having absorbed her Phazon Suit and some of her genetic material.

* DoubleMeaningTitle: His reveal trailer is titled "Vampire Killer," which refers to Simon himself and is also the proper name of the whip he wields.
* EpicFlail: His whip, the Vampire Killer, is actually a small spiked ball on the end of a long chain. In the ''Castlevania'' games, it starts of as a regular whip, but can be upgraded to resemble how it is depicted in ''Smash''

* LimitBreak: Grand Cross. See HolyHandGrenade above.

The ArchEnemy of Samus, a high-ranking leader of the SpacePirates, and a major antagonist of the ''Metroid'' series.

* FourIsDeath: She is just as deadly, if not moreso, than Samus' ArchEnemy Ridley, and is:
** 1. Samus' Echo Fighter (making Dark Samus' number "'''04'''ᵋ").
** 2. The fourth Echo Fighter that debuted in ''Ultimate''.
** 3. The fourth ''Metroid'' character in the ''Smash'' series.
** [[UpToEleven 4]]. The fourth new fighter revealed in the ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' Direct showcase.

* EpicFlail: His whip, the Vampire Killer, is actually a small spiked ball on the end of a long chain.

* HolyHandGrenade / LimitBreak: His Final Smash Grand Cross traps the victim in a coffin before launching them upwards and blasting them with cross-shaped bolts of energy. In Castlevania series this is an [[LimitBreak Item Crash]], a super move that varies depending on the sub-weapon you have. Simon himself cannot perform one in his games, but Richter can.

* CompositeCharacter: He's primarily an Echo Fighter of Roy (making him share similarities with Marth by extension), though he also has Ike's Up Special and a different Final Smash from either of them.

A vampire hunter, Richter Belmont is Simon's hot-headed descendant, and considered one of the strongest in the Belmont Clan's lineage. When Dracula attacks his village while he was away, he sets off to the haunted castle to rescue the villagers that Dracula kidnapped. Among them are his girlfriend Anette and a distant relative Maria Renard. His game is notable for having the first voiced cutscenes in the series, made even more famous as its playable final stage is in ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight'' as a prologue, complete with [[HamToHamCombat hammy dialog]] [[MemeticMutation between him and Dracula]].

A vampire hunter, Richter Belmont is Simon's hot-headed descendant, and considered one of the strongest in the Belmont Clan's lineage. He's also the very first second representative from a third-party game, as well as the first third-party character to become an Echo Fighter.
