Smash Bros.

Lyn also returns as an assist trophy, and the Black Knight and Tiki debut as new assist trophies.
Playable cast
Only the eight starter characters from the original Super Smash Bros. will be unlocked by default, with all other characters needing to be unlocked. However, the Mii Fighters are instead available via customization, and unlocks will be much faster and easier than in previous games.
Characters making their Super Smash Bros. debut in this game are listed in bold. Characters who are officially considered "echo fighters" (a subcategory of clones) are marked with an ε. Characters who are available from the start are marked with a ‡. Characters available for purchase separately through downloadable content are marked with a §, and downloadable characters who are not presently available in the games are also listed in italics. Characters who are available via customization are marked with an asterisk.

Marth returns from the previous titles. His voice in the Japanese version was redone (though keeping the same actor, Hikaru Midorikawa),[1] and his voice in other versions is now in English.[2] His design was changed somewhat to match New Mystery of the Emblem.
Lucina returns from the previous title. She remains a clone of Marth, and she is part of the newly created "echo fighter" category.
Roy returns from the previous titles.
Chrom is a new character. He is an "echo fighter" of Roy, though he has a unique final smash, called "Awakening Aether", in which he performs Aether, and a different up special attack, which resembles Ike's (though it isn't exactly the same).
Ike returns from the previous titles. He now has his Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn designs as alternate costumes, with the former being the default. He has different voice clips between the two variants as well (they sound only slightly different in English, but are noticeably different in Japanese),[3][4] and he is now voiced by Greg Chun in English, replacing Jason Adkins.[5]
Robin returns from the previous title. Their weapons' remaining durability now shows up near their damage indicator.[6]
Corrin returns from the previous title.
Byleth
Byleth makes their playable debut as the fifth downloadable fighter.
All three Fire Emblem stages from past Super Smash Bros. games appear: Castle Siege from Smash Bros. Brawl, Arena Ferox from Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, and Coliseum from Smash Bros. for Wii U. An additional stage, Garreg Mach Monastery, was released alongside Byleth.
One item from the Fire Emblem series appears.
Killing Edge
Assist Trophies
Assist Trophies are non-playable characters who can be summoned temporarily into a battle using the Assist Trophy item, in order to aid their summoner. Three Fire Emblem characters are available as Assist Trophies.
Replacing trophies from previous titles, Spirits are new collectibles depicting characters from a host of iconic franchises. These Spirits can be used to grant fighters extra abilities, relating to the character the Spirit depicts. The Spirits are divided into four types.
Fighter Spirits
These Spirits represent the playable fighters. They cannot be equipped for battle and are simply for the player's viewing pleasure. There are 10 for the Fire Emblem series including alts.
