Brawl Fighters I'd Bring Back First

Brawl's roster feels special because the guests sit beside Nintendo's best-known faces: Snake and Sonic join Mario, Link, Kirby and Pikachu. Meta Knight, Ike and Wolf bring a different edge, but the crossover is what makes this lineup feel like Brawl.

Fighters I Rate for Brawl Matches

This is my read on Brawl's roster, not a promise that one fighter wins every matchup. Meta Knight, Snake, the Ice Climbers, Falco, Marth and Wolf each bring a distinct way to pressure an opponent; a Smash Ball can still swing a match with one Final Smash.

Brawl's Most Charming Fighters

Kirby and Pikachu are obvious mascot picks, but Olimar earns his place with tiny Pikmin and a huge helmet. Peach and Yoshi bring softer designs, while the rest of the top tier shows that charm in Brawl doesn't have to mean small.
