Super Smash Bros. is a fighting game series created by Nintendo, notable for serving as a massive crossover between all major Nintendo franchises and even many third-party ones. Credited with codifying the "platform fighter" genre, the series is directed by Kirby series creator Masahiro Sakurai and takes the fighting game formula in a rather different direction than "traditional" fighters. Rather than a health bar with a set amount of health and the goal of depleting your opponent's to zero before they do the same to you, your vitality is instead measured in a damage percentage: the the more you're attacked, the higher your damage rises. The higher it rises, the farther you fly when hit. Should you be launched far enough off the screen or fall too far from the stage to recover, you either lose a life or your attacker scores a point, depending on the game mode. The controls are also simplified from other fighting games: rather than a complicated input string for executing each attack and different strings to memorise for each fighter, the game uses a unified moveset across all characters where every attack is only a single button press and optionally a direction on the control stick, extrapolating their abilities from there. This makes the series incredibly easy to get into for those who aren't fans of traditional fighting games, while still allowing for enough variety and replay value that players across the world have been hooked for nearly two decades now. Indeed, the series has become one of Nintendo's most beloved and best-selling franchises and each new instalment will always be met with a fresh new trainload of hype.
Currently, there are four installments, with a fifth just released!

Super Smash Bros. (Nintendo All-Star! Dairantō Smash Brothers)
Platform: Nintendo 64, Virtual Console (Wii)
Original release date:
JP: January 21st, 1999
NA: April 26th, 1999
EU: November 12th, 1999
The one that started it all, the original Super Smash Bros. - nowadays referred to as SSB64 - was a relatively low-key release (at least, compared to the rest of the series). A pet project of Sakurai's, it was originally developed as an entirely original game by the name of Dragon King: The Fighting Game. Fearing that an original fighting game property wouldn't sell well on the N64, Sakurai instead decided to insert existing Nintendo mascots into the game as its fighters, and the concept blossomed from there. Very much a proof of concept compared to later games.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (Dairantō Smush Brothers SPECIAL)
Platform: Nintendo Switch
Release date (WW): December 7th, 2018
On June 12th 2018, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has finally been officially shown for the Nintendo Switch, said to be released on December 7th, 2018. The subtitle Ultimate is no joke, as they decided to include every single character that has ever been in a Smash game, including fan-favourites such as Snake, Cloud, and even Pichu - but returning characters aren't the only highlight here. Aside from Inklings, who have already been teased back in March, they are making the dream real - Ridley. The gameplay has been shown at the Nintendo Treehouse at E3 2018, with many players being impressed with the newly introduced and re-introduced mechanics, and the game is sure to have a bright future with the abundance of content it will offer.
With the Direct on 8/8/2018 a whole 5 new characters were confirmed for the roster: Simon and Richter Belmont, Chrom, Dark Samus, and King K. Rool, fulfilling yet the wishes of many people who have voted for them in the Smush 4 Ballot.
The Nintendo Direct on 9/13/2018 also brought along Isabelle from the Animal Crossing series, surprising many as a full character and not an echo.
Two months later, another Direct hit a Month away from release, bringing Ken and Incineroar into the battle, demonstrating Spirits, showing us a bunch of minor titbits and introducing us to The first downloadable character, Piranha Plant along with that a DLC Pass was announced a Adventure Mode was finally shown off.
Joker from Persona 5 was announced as the first DLC character. It was truly a Last Surprise.

the more and more i think about this the more i feel like this would be amazing? especially after piranha plant?
Roster art in OP needs the updated version with Plant
Gimme a copy and I'll add it
John Madden announced to represent the Madden NFL franchise.
Woah you can't just leak secret Discord content like that
This is his final smash.

Except he comes through your actual screen and you die IRL.

Looking forward to everybody going from plant gang to just gang when Joker comes out.
>Except he comes through your actual screen and you die IRL
God finally
im so stupid i thought this was like a MK8 leak for playable piranha plant but then i remembered piranha plant is an item....
Actually, he's a police officer you insensitive claud, can't you see his light?
the police are but a mere item for justice
The Giant Zapfish fight is one of the most annoying fights I've had in WoL so far.
What if we got an Ape Escape rep?
TBH Travis Touchdown feels like a very likely rep because he checks a lot of the boxes that would make for a likely Smash rep.
Japanese Dev.
Makes home on Nintendo.
No representation in Smash thus far.
Recent game release with another likely on the horizon.
Easily adaptable moveset to Smash's controls.
Easy to tone down content to be E10+
Would likely be fun as shit.
Sure he'd be another swordsman, but his grapple mixups and general flair would give him a decent enough niche to fill.
I might cry if travis actually gets added, even as a swordie echo.
But the question is, what would his alts be like? Would he get Inkling treatment, where is alts are actual outfits from the games? Would he get the usual treatment, where he just gets color palettes? Would his base be his iconic red jacket, or his new purple jacket? Would his alts have actual different lightswords, which lightsword would he even use (there are like 7 between the first two games)? Would he get a jacket-less alt with his weird long-ass shoulders?

Integrate it somehow sakurai.
His colors/costumes would more than likely just various different colored jackets that he can wear in his games with different designs on the shirt (His red jacket being his possible default.) Most DLC characters also have had some kind of an alt costume in some way, so a jacket-less option wouldn't be that out of the question either.
For beam swords, they would either mostly stick to the Blood Berry or Tsubaki Mk-I, with possibly an alt that uses the Mk-III
Ok but imagine a stance switch system here he swaps between beam sabres. It'd be so fucking good
As amazing as a chargin' Chuck announcement during the Super Bowl would be I'd rather not have *even more* Mario characters
O
Can't believe it's already been leaked that he's the 2nd member of the Fighter Pass! And he comes with this echo fighter for free!!!

Eggman announcement for handegg
So what are some hot K. Rool strats? I've just discovered dropping through a platform to catch people off guard with the vacuum.
we need at least 30 Mario characters to accurately represent the popularity gap between Mario and Fire Emblem
Idea: Make an entirely Mario-themed Smash game and allow us import the roster into Ultimate. Could do the same for Zelda and Pokemon. Completely unfeasible, but fun to think about.
