Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is coming on December 7, and its roster is going to be huge.
The game will feature every character in the history of the series (including guest characters like Sonic the Hedgehog, Snake and Ryu) as well as a few newcomers. This includes Inkling from the Splatoon series, Metroid boss Ridley, Castlevania hero Simon Belmont, Animal Crossing favorite Isabelle and "echo fighters" such as Street Fighter's Ken and Daisy from the Super Mario series.
As of Nov. 1, the Smash Ultimate roster is set at 70 characters, or 74 if you count the "echo" fighters. However, Nintendo did note that more fighters will arrive post-release as paid downloadable content.
Echo (ε) characters are those with almost identical move sets to another character. Many existing characters, like Mario and Link, are getting new moves, while it seems just about everyone will be re-balanced for the new game.
