Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is scheduled to be released on December 7, 2018, for Nintendo Switch. The Fighters (playable characters) are numbered in the order they joined the roster. The epsilon symbol (ε) i
ndicates Echo Fighters, and the number next to it refers to the Fighter that the Echo Fighter is based on. The starter roster is the same as that of the original Nintendo 64 game, which was released in early 1999. Therefore, only the Fighters that were available by default in the original Nintendo 64 game are available by default in
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, so the player must unlock the rest of the launch roster. Here are the numbers and names of the Fighters, and their respective debut games as of November 1, 2018:
