Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: Every Confirmed Character (And How They've Changed)

15. Ice Climbers

Praise the Lord! After stupidly missing out on Smash 4, Popo and Nana climb back into the fray. They're almost certainly just as annoying to play with as before.

16. Sheik

Another character with no refinements in the intervening years, Sheik is untouched from Smash 4. She's still the world's toughest harpist.

17. Zelda

Unlike her fellow Hylian hero Link, Princess Zelda foregoes her garb from Breath of the Wild - in which she was a useless teenage scholar - in favour of the Link Between Worlds look. It's dashing.

18. Dr. Mario

Dr. Mario's medical credentials are pretty sketchy, and his treatments frankly unethical, but he's yet to be struck off, and as such returns as anti-Hippocratic as ever in Smash Ultimate.

19. Pichu

Pikachu's pre-evolved form skipped Melee, Brawl and Smash 4, on account of being a bit crap. Well he's back now, and out for revenge.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
