From his transition into Ultimate, he was nerfed due to his top tier presence in ''Smash for 3DS / Wii U''. His combos are very good with his forward aerial having lots of spacing tool. His recovery can be very useful and used to kill opponents and edge-guard, and his tips are powerful. Despite his upcoming, he has a few flaws that actually hurt him more than what his strengths can perform. His tippers are hard to perform, and not getting the tipper isn't very substantial to him. With all of his strengths and weaknesses combined in tournaments, he is said to be a mid- or upper-mid- tier character. His player base online isn't very impressive as well, given his popularity; he was said to be very unpopular online. This is overall his worst placement in all of his debut all over his appearances.

[[Lucina]] returns from the previous title. She remains a clone of Marth, and she is part of the newly created "echo fighter" category.
Despite her high tier status from ''Smash for 3DS / Wii U'', she was considerably buffed. Her echo-fighter status with Marth is very different, given her non-tipper presence, and she instead has even damage output overall. She has great frame data and low end-lag, which benefits her and her viability. Lucina is mostly considered to be the best ''Fire Emblem'' character, even potentially the best sword fighter in the game. She is also noteworthy for being a top 10 character, too.

[[Roy]] returns from the previous titles and now his first-ever time speaking English which is now voiced by Ray Chase.
 
He was considered to be the lowest-ranked ''Fire Emblem'' character in ''Smash for 3DS / Wii U'', along with Ike. Along with Ike, he was heavily buffed from his transition. His combos are also very noteworthy too with most of the damage output was very impressive. His weaknesses aren't big flaws but are noticeable. His recovery can be a bit predictable, but it can be used diagonally to mix up his strategy. Overall, Roy has a high reputation and is said to be a very good tournament-viable character, being a high-top-tier character, with a few saying Roy is the best ''Fire Emblem'' character in the game.

Chrom's new debut in ''Ultimate'' gives him more similar things to Roy ever since Roy was buffed. Like Lucina, his sword deals even damage across the whole blade, as opposed to Roy's being more powerful close up. Despite these different things, Chrom has a great combo potential like Roy's. He still has a few flaws that hurts him, however. His recovery is very predictable, and, unlike Ike's, he does not have a second horizontal recovery move. Despite these flaws, Chrom has said to be a high/top-tier character, but is said to be below Roy due to his own characteristics.

Ike has been buffed like Roy due to their both low-mid-tier placements. Ike has a very respectable combo potential. One of his aerials, his neutral aerial, is very highly used with his low knockback and very good kill confirms. Aether has been buffed to kill much earlier, which kills at 110% in the middle of the stage. His throws can lead them into other aerials, such as his forward or back aerial, which is very strong. His flaws are noticeable; he has some of the worst frame data in the game, which hurts him against agile characters, and his recovery is predictable and can easily be edge guarded. Overall, Ike is considered to be in the middle of the high tier, which is nonetheless considered to be his best placement out of all of his appearances in the series.

Robin has been buffed, possibly due to their status of mid-tier placements. Their buffs and nerfs were toned a bit from ''Smash 4''. Their combo has received a few adjustments. Arcfire can zone players and lead into other attacks like their aerials and smash attacks. Arcthunder however has received a noteworthy nerf as the hitbox now goes faster if it connects the opponents, which make hit harder to follow-up combos unlike ''Smash 4''. Despite some of their nerfs, their buffs helped Robin in some areas. However, Robin placement hasn't changed as much as players were expecting, and is still considered a mid-tier character.

[[Corrin]] returns from the previous title.
[[Corrin]] returns from the previous title. Corrin's high tier status in ''Smash 4'' was what the developers saw to Corrin which led them to be nerfed from their transition into Ultimate. The nerfs that they got ruin their viability from the competitive scene. The tippers were nerfed significantly, [[Counter]] was weakened, and their combo wasn't as useful, with this Corrin was seen as considered a low-tier character. The updates, however, has buffed Corrin more and more which more people have then considered Corrin to be a low-mid tier or a mid-tier character. Despite the buffs, it's currently unknown how they fare in competitive ''Smash Ultimate''.

{{SmashWiki|Byleth (SSBU)}}
[[Byleth]] makes their playable debut as the fifth and last downloadable fighter for Fighters Pass Vol. 1, and the sixth overall downloadable fighter (as [[smashwiki:Piranha Plant (SSBU)|Piranha Plant]] is not part of a fighters pass). Byleth has received a few buffs in some updates, but tournament viability remains questionable. Byleth has good prominent disjoints through some of their moves, but is laggy in general. Byleth relies heavily on spacing for more and better damage, which their strengths and flaws together considered to be a mid-tier character. Their competitive ranking remains to be seen, due to the lack of offline tournaments.

The Wii U version's array of ''Fire Emblem'' trophies is currently known to consist of thirteen trophies, including the six universal trophies listed above.

In the Wii U version, the four Alt trophies are available for purchase with in-game Coins in the Trophy Shop, after clearing Classic or All-Star Mode with the characters. 
These are unique Spirits found in the World of Light campaign. Instead of equipping them, defeating them in battle will allow the player to use their facilities to buy items or train Spirits. There are two for the ''Fire Emblem'' series.

===Masterpieces===
The Japanese version of ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' has {{FE1}} playable as a [[smashwiki:Masterpieces|Masterpiece]], a free time-limited trial of the game, available from the beginning.  The demo allows at least 123 seconds of gameplay in [[Marth Embarks|Chapter 1]] of the game, giving players a small taste of Marth's origins. Owing to the game's Japan-exclusive status, this Masterpiece was not included in international releases of ''Smash Bros''; it is the only Japan-exclusive Masterpiece.
 
==''Fire Emblem'' reveal trailers==
''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Wii U'' has a tradition of unveiling new fighters in [[smashwiki:List of Super Smash Bros. 4 character trailers|cinematic trailers]] which were released live during Nintendo Direct presentations or other similar events.  Prior to release, these trailers consisted of unique animated vignettes involving the new fighters which, after a splash screen proclaiming their entrance into the game with an amusing tagline, would go on to show the character in action in gameplay. Post-release trailers, which deal exclusively in DLC characters, do not have the opening vignettes and instead consist entirely of gameplay.
 
Two of these trailers have been released which are devoted to ''Fire Emblem'' characters: the first for Lucina and Robin, and the second for Roy.
 
===By Book, Blade and Crest of Flame===
[[File:SSB4 Trailer Lucina Robin Falcon.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Lucina and Robin confront Captain Falcon in "By Book, Blade and Crest of Flame".]]
'''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9ytrX0wweA By Book, Blade and Crest of Flame]''' (Japanese: {{hover|剣と魔法と炎の紋章|Tsurugi to mahō to honō no monshō}} ''Sword and Magic and the Fire Emblem'') first debuted as a live streaming event on the ''Super Smash Bros.'' website on July 14th, 2014. Revealing both Robin and Lucina as new playable characters, as well as confirming the return of ''F-Zero'' character [[fzerowiki:Captain Falcon|Captain Falcon]], it was the eighth in a series of similar trainers introducing newcomers to the series. Like its predecessors it is divided into two parts: a unique animated introduction segment introducing the two characters, followed by a demonstration of the two characters in action in actual ''Super Smash Bros.'' gameplay; the animated introduction was produced by the studio '''anima''', who were previously responsible for the cutscenes in ''Awakening''.<ref>Sakurai, Masahiro (2014). ''[https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAADMUKl3WtcEQg Director's Room]'' [online] Miiverse. [Accessed July 24 2014]</ref>
 
The trailer opens in the [[Arena Ferox]] as Lucina duels with Captain Falcon to protect her father, [[Chrom]], who is seen severely wounded presumably after being defeated by Falcon. Despite her trouble keeping up with Captain Falcon's power, Lucina resolves to keep fighting and lunges at Falcon, who deflects her blow and knocks her off balance with a kick. Before Falcon can unleash a [[smashwiki:Falcon Punch|Falcon Punch]] to finish her off, he is interrupted by a blast of [[Elwind]] from above. The blast is revealed to come from Robin, who slowly descends from above and brandishes his [[Levin Sword]] to engage Falcon in battle.
 
The gameplay segment mostly focuses on introducing Robin's unique playstyle and variety of [[Tome|usable tomes]], before moving onto a brief introduction of Lucina which demonstrates her status as a [[smashwiki:Clone|clone]] of Marth. The segment concludes with Lucina and Robin confronting Marth and Ike, cutting to the game's logo. After the logo, a further segment reveals that, despite his own doubts that he would ever get a chance to participate, Chrom will still appear as part of Robin's [[smashwiki:Final Smash|Final Smash]] and that a female version of Robin is also playable.
 
===Roy seals the deal!===
[[File:SSB4 Trailer Roy.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Roy proclaims his return to ''Super Smash Bros.'']]
 
'''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8XIj05irtU Roy seals the deal!]''' (Japanese: {{hover|ロイ参戦!!|Roi sansen!!}} ''Roy Joins the Battle!!'') debuted at the start of the "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWM-SCjIuNg New Content Approaching!]" streaming event, which was broadcast on June 14th, 2015 in the prelude to the [[wikipedia:Electronic Entertainment Expo 2015|Electronic Entertainment Expo 2015]]. As its title suggests, it revealed [[Roy]]'s return as a downloadable character. Like the other DLC character trailers, it deals exclusively in actual gameplay footage.  Roy speaks several times in the trailer, but exclusively in Japanese as he still lacks an English voice; the English version of the trailer subtitles all of his lines.


The trailer opens with Marth, Ike, Lucina and Robin fighting against each other in a free-for-all on the Coliseum stage, which is interrupted by somebody shouting "Don't forget about me!" This, of course, is Roy, who emerges into Coliseum through a wall of fire and prepares to join the fight. After humorously attacking [[mariowiki:Roy Koopa|Roy Koopa]], a playable character who shares his name, Roy is shown in action, highlighting his changes from and differences compared to Marth. It ends with Roy executing his [[smashwiki:Final Smash|Final Smash]], [[Critical hit|Critical Hit]], and then declaring that "For those I must protect... I cannot lose!"

===Corrin Chooses to Smash!===
The following tracks are not present in the sounds menu:
''Corrin Chooses to Smash'' (Japanese: {{hover|カムイ参戦!!|Kamui sansen!!}} ''Kamui Joins the Battle!!'') debuted at the beginning of the Smash Bros. Final Presentation, on December 15th, 2015. The trailer starts similarly to [[The Path Is Yours|Chapter 6]] of {{FE14}}, with the [[Hoshido|Hoshidan]] and [[Nohr|Nohrian]] royals attempting to persuade him to join them. The options of Defend Hoshido, Fight for Nohr and Refuse to choose a side are shown, but after a few seconds a fourth option, Join the battle in Smash, is added. Corrin goes on to choose said option. They go on to fight multiple characters in the game with both of their families talking to him.-->

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Robin is the only ''Fire Emblem'' character to not have their fighter spirit use artwork from their game of origin, as there is no standalone render of Robin in ''Awakening''.
**While there is artwork in {{FEWA}}, with said artwork even recreating their poses from {{SSB4}} due to the lack of artwork from ''Awakening'', it goes unused in ''Ultimate'' for unknown reasons.
*Within the context of the {{FES}}, the events of Byleth's ''Ultimate'' reveal trailer are a dream conjured by [[Sothis]].<ref>{{Cite|Mm... You must...join Smash... Ah! There you are. You have awakened me from a peculiar dream.|[[Sothis]] to [[Byleth]] in [[Weave of Fate]]|Heroes}}</ref>

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (Japanese: 大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ SPECIAL Great Melee Smash Brothers Special) is a fighting video game for the Nintendo Switch, released December 7, 2018 in all regions it was released in.

As with other games in the franchise other than the first game, it features characters from the Fire Emblem series participating in the game alongside those of other Nintendo franchises.

Characters

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate contains every single character from the past four games, including six Fire Emblem characters: Marth, Roy, Ike, Robin, Lucina, and Corrin; in addition to these, Chrom makes his playable debut as a clone of Roy, and Byleth makes their playable debut as a downloadable fighter. 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. are unlocked by default, with all other characters (aside from the Mii Fighters, who are instead available via customization) needing to be unlocked.

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 §. Characters who are available via customization are marked with an asterisk.

Marth

Main article: Marth/Super Smash Bros. series § Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
SSBU Marth.png
SSB.png This article or section is a short summary of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
SmashWiki features a more in-depth article.

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.

From his transition into Ultimate, he was nerfed due to his top tier presence in Smash for 3DS / Wii U. His combos are very good with his forward aerial having lots of spacing tool. His recovery can be very useful and used to kill opponents and edge-guard, and his tips are powerful. Despite his upcoming, he has a few flaws that actually hurt him more than what his strengths can perform. His tippers are hard to perform, and not getting the tipper isn't very substantial to him. With all of his strengths and weaknesses combined in tournaments, he is said to be a mid- or upper-mid- tier character. His player base online isn't very impressive as well, given his popularity; he was said to be very unpopular online. This is overall his worst placement in all of his debut all over his appearances.

Lucina

Main article: Lucina/Super Smash Bros. series § Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
SSBU Lucina.png
SSB.png This article or section is a short summary of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
SmashWiki features a more in-depth article.

Lucina returns from the previous title. She remains a clone of Marth, and she is part of the newly created "echo fighter" category.

Despite her high tier status from Smash for 3DS / Wii U, she was considerably buffed. Her echo-fighter status with Marth is very different, given her non-tipper presence, and she instead has even damage output overall. She has great frame data and low end-lag, which benefits her and her viability. Lucina is mostly considered to be the best Fire Emblem character, even potentially the best sword fighter in the game. She is also noteworthy for being a top 10 character, too.

Roy

Main article: Roy/Super Smash Bros. series § Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
SSBU Roy.png
SSB.png This article or section is a short summary of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
SmashWiki features a more in-depth article.

Roy returns from the previous titles and now his first-ever time speaking English which is now voiced by Ray Chase.

He was considered to be the lowest-ranked Fire Emblem character in Smash for 3DS / Wii U, along with Ike. Along with Ike, he was heavily buffed from his transition. His combos are also very noteworthy too with most of the damage output was very impressive. His weaknesses aren't big flaws but are noticeable. His recovery can be a bit predictable, but it can be used diagonally to mix up his strategy. Overall, Roy has a high reputation and is said to be a very good tournament-viable character, being a high-top-tier character, with a few saying Roy is the best Fire Emblem character in the game.

Chrom

Main article: Chrom/Super Smash Bros. series § Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
SSBU Chrom.png
SSB.png This article or section is a short summary of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
SmashWiki features a more in-depth article.

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).

Chrom's new debut in Ultimate gives him more similar things to Roy ever since Roy was buffed. Like Lucina, his sword deals even damage across the whole blade, as opposed to Roy's being more powerful close up. Despite these different things, Chrom has a great combo potential like Roy's. He still has a few flaws that hurts him, however. His recovery is very predictable, and, unlike Ike's, he does not have a second horizontal recovery move. Despite these flaws, Chrom has said to be a high/top-tier character, but is said to be below Roy due to his own characteristics.

Ike

Main article: Ike/Super Smash Bros. series § Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
SSBU Ike.png
SSB.png This article or section is a short summary of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
SmashWiki features a more in-depth article.

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,[5] replacing Jason Adkins.

Ike has been buffed like Roy due to their both low-mid-tier placements. Ike has a very respectable combo potential. One of his aerials, his neutral aerial, is very highly used with his low knockback and very good kill confirms. Aether has been buffed to kill much earlier, which kills at 110% in the middle of the stage. His throws can lead them into other aerials, such as his forward or back aerial, which is very strong. His flaws are noticeable; he has some of the worst frame data in the game, which hurts him against agile characters, and his recovery is predictable and can easily be edge guarded. Overall, Ike is considered to be in the middle of the high tier, which is nonetheless considered to be his best placement out of all of his appearances in the series.

Robin

SSBU Robin.png
SSB.png This article or section is a short summary of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
SmashWiki features a more in-depth article.

Robin returns from the previous title. Their weapons' remaining durability now shows up near their damage indicator.[6]

Robin has been buffed, possibly due to their status of mid-tier placements. Their buffs and nerfs were toned a bit from Smash 4. Their combo has received a few adjustments. Arcfire can zone players and lead into other attacks like their aerials and smash attacks. Arcthunder however has received a noteworthy nerf as the hitbox now goes faster if it connects the opponents, which make hit harder to follow-up combos unlike Smash 4. Despite some of their nerfs, their buffs helped Robin in some areas. However, Robin placement hasn't changed as much as players were expecting, and is still considered a mid-tier character.

Corrin

Main article: Corrin/Super Smash Bros. series § Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
SSBU Corrin.png
SSB.png This article or section is a short summary of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
SmashWiki features a more in-depth article.

Corrin returns from the previous title. Corrin's high tier status in Smash 4 was what the developers saw to Corrin which led them to be nerfed from their transition into Ultimate. The nerfs that they got ruin their viability from the competitive scene. The tippers were nerfed significantly, Counter was weakened, and their combo wasn't as useful, with this Corrin was seen as considered a low-tier character. The updates, however, has buffed Corrin more and more which more people have then considered Corrin to be a low-mid tier or a mid-tier character. Despite the buffs, it's currently unknown how they fare in competitive Smash Ultimate.

Byleth

Main article: Byleth/Super Smash Bros. series § Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
SSBU Byleth.png
SSB.png This article or section is a short summary of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
SmashWiki features a more in-depth article.

Byleth makes their playable debut as the fifth and last downloadable fighter for Fighters Pass Vol. 1, and the sixth overall downloadable fighter (as Piranha Plant is not part of a fighters pass). Byleth has received a few buffs in some updates, but tournament viability remains questionable. Byleth has good prominent disjoints through some of their moves, but is laggy in general. Byleth relies heavily on spacing for more and better damage, which their strengths and flaws together considered to be a mid-tier character. Their competitive ranking remains to be seen, due to the lack of offline tournaments.

Stages

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.

Items

One item from the Fire Emblem series appears and the first Fire Emblem item to be introduced into Smash.

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.

Collectibles

Spirits

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. The Fire Emblem: Three Houses spirits were added as DLC alongside Byleth.

Fighter Spirits

These Spirits represent the playable fighters. They cannot be equipped for battle and can only be viewed in the menu. There are 12 for the Fire Emblem series.

Primary Spirits

These Spirits are equitable spirits that will boost the user's attack and defense. They are further divided into four categories: Attack, Shield, Grab, and Neutral. There are 49 for the Fire Emblem series.

Support Spirits

These Spirits can be equipped with Primaries to boost certain aspects of the user, like allowing them to heal over time, strengthening their magic attack, or start the battle with an item like the Killing Edge. There are 30 for the Fire Emblem series.

Master Spirits

These are unique Spirits found in the World of Light campaign. Instead of equipping them, defeating them in battle will allow the player to use their facilities to buy items or train Spirits. There are two for the Fire Emblem series.

  • Anna (runs a shop)
  • Ryoma (runs the Demon Style dojo)

Music

There are fifty-two tracks from the Fire Emblem series in Smash Bros. Ultimate, plus four character victory themes.

The following tracks are not present in the sounds menu:

  • Fire Emblem Victory (conjectural title): Taken from Brawl and Smash 4, but it is edited so that the tempo is slightly faster, and additionally the tempo is sped up further near the end. This brief portion of the Fire Emblem Theme is used as Marth, Roy, Chrom (prior to 3.0.0), and Ike's victory fanfare.
  • Fire Emblem Awakening Victory (conjectural title): A brief portion of "Id (Purpose)". Used as Lucina, Chrom (after 3.0.0), and Robin's victory fanfare.
  • Fire Emblem Fates Victory (conjectural title): A brief portion of "Lost in Thoughts All Alone". Used as Corrin's victory fanfare.
  • Fire Emblem: Three Houses Victory (conjectural title): A brief portion of "The Edge of Dawn (Seasons of Warfare)". Used as Byleth's victory fanfare.

Trivia

  • Robin is the only Fire Emblem character to not have their fighter spirit use artwork from their game of origin, as there is no standalone render of Robin in Awakening.
  • Within the context of the Fire Emblem series, the events of Byleth's Ultimate reveal trailer are a dream conjured by Sothis.[7]
