Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl roster size, how it compares to Smash

As it stands, All-Star Brawl’s roster size of 20 pales in comparison to Super Smash Bros Ultimate’s current 81 characters. Of course, with fighting games, it’s not about roster size but roster quality so hopefully each character feels unique enough to provide replayability.

Also, there is always the chance the game will receive characters post-launch, increasing the overall size of the roster. Although Brawl’s roster is one-fourth the size, it has one thing Smash will never have: Spongebob.
