That’s the full Smash Ultimate roster! It’s the biggest set of characters we’ve ever seen. If we ever get another Smash game, it’s going to be pretty hard to top this list. Not only is this roster huge, but pretty much everyone is unique. As much as Echo fighters were promoted and made their section, the game ended up barely using this character outside of clear reskins. Pretty much everyone plays uniquely in the roster, so there’s tons of variety to play with here.
