Notes
All Playable Fighters are unlocked by default.
12 new Fighters are post-launch DLC to allow for 3 years worth of quarterly Fighter additions.
Any number of Veteran Guest Fighters may be Day 1 DLC instead of coming with the base game. (In this scenario, the base game would be $60 USD)
The total number of Playable Fighters in Smash 6 ends up at 100 Playable Fighters.
100 was chosen as the hard limit for Playable Fighters.
25 was chosen as the hard limit for Guest Playable Fighters.
Roster will change if Nintendo decides to no longer pursue the "Everyone is Here" idea. This mostly applies for Steve (who is not well received) or if a guest license cannot be renewed. Nintendo may also decide not to renew some Guest licenses. Replacements would come from listed Assist Fighters or Pokémon (Zeraora).
