Ultimate</a> features a roster made up of 86 fighters.

It's difficult to imagine a character that originated from Newgrounds ever officially taking a slot in Super Smash Bros., so the modder known as ddc218 added "Boyfriend" from Friday Night Funkin'.</p>

Over 240 days have passed after Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls was first revealed without a single new character since then <p><a href='https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2025/jun/04/marvel-tokon-fighting-arcsys/'>Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls</a> was announced on June 4, 2025 during the PlayStation State of Play event that aired that day. As such, it's been over 240 days since Captain America, Iron Man, Storm, Dr. Doom, Star-Lord, Ms. Marvel, Spider-Man and Ghost Rider were revealed.</p> <p>The developers have not revealed a single character since those initial eight. This feels particularly strange considering that Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is supposed to be a 4v4 team fighting game. One would think that this sort of game would need an especially large roster to support the team dynamics of this sort of fighting game.</p>

Ultimate</a> features a roster of 86 characters, marking the game with the largest cast of fighters for the series thus far.
