Smash Ultimate Characters That Have Won Majors
So, you like Smash Bros., huh? We all do! It's a wild party, right? But have you ever stopped to think about who's actually winning these massive tournaments? I'm talking about the super-duper, insane-level competitions, the Majors. The ones where the crowd goes absolutely bonkers.
It's honestly kinda hilarious to think about. We've got, like, a million characters in Ultimate. A ridiculous amount. And yet, when it comes down to the wire, when the pressure is on and the hype is at a million, only a select few get to lift that glorious trophy.
Why is this so fun to talk about? Because it shows that even in a game with so many options, some characters just… click. They get that special something. It's like they were born to dominate. Or maybe their players just practiced for, like, a thousand years. Who knows!
Let's dive into some of the absolute legends. The characters who've proven they've got what it takes to be the best of the best. It's not just about who can win, but who has won. That's the real tea, my friends.
The Usual Suspects (And Why They're Awesome)
Okay, let's be real. Some characters you just expect to see at the top. They're like the cool kids of the Smash Ultimate playground. They’ve got the moves, they’ve got the power, and they’ve got the fan base.
Fox McCloud: The Speedy Little Fireball
Seriously, this guy. Fox. He's been around forever. Since the N64 days, people have been maining this energetic fox. And guess what? He's still a threat! Why? Because he's fast. Like, ridiculously fast. His entire game plan is just a blur of lasers and kicks.
It's kinda funny. He's so small, you'd think he'd get overlooked. But nope! He’s a pocket rocket. The players who master him are like pure adrenaline. They’re always on the offensive, forcing their opponents into impossible situations. You blink, and you’re at 150% with a destroyed shield. Classic Fox!
Plus, his taunts are iconic. That little hop he does? Priceless. It’s no wonder he’s a consistent winner at Majors. He just never stops, and neither do his fans.

Roy: The Fiery Swordsman Who Means Business
Then we have Roy. Oh, Roy. This dude is all about that sweet spot. You wanna be close to him? Like, really close? Because that's where the pain happens. His sword swings are devastating when they land just right.
It’s a high-risk, high-reward kind of deal. If you can get in his face and stay there, you’re in trouble. But if you play too safely, he’ll just… well, he’ll probably still find a way to hit you. He’s got that incredible jab, and his aerials are no joke.
The best Roy players are like controlled explosions. They get in, they do their damage, and they get out. It’s a beautiful dance of aggression. And seeing him win a Major? It’s like watching a perfectly timed explosion. So satisfying!
Wolf: The Gritty, No-Nonsense Fighter
Wolf. This guy is just… cool. He’s got this grizzled look, this tough attitude. And his gameplay? It’s all about controlling space and landing those heavy hits.
He’s got that amazing blaster to keep people at bay. Then, when they finally get close enough, BAM! He’s got these powerful tilts and aerials that can just end stocks. He’s not as flashy as some others, but he’s incredibly effective.
The players who main Wolf are usually super patient. They know how to wait for their opening, and when that opening comes, they punish hard. It’s like watching a predator stalk its prey. And when Wolf wins a Major, you know it was a masterclass in strategic dominance. Respect!
The Underdogs Who Rose to the Top (And Blew Our Minds)
Now, this is where it gets really interesting. These are the characters you might not immediately think of when you picture a Major winner. The ones that make you go, “Wait, they won?!”
Pichu: The Tiny Electric Mouse That Could (And Did!)
Okay, Pichu. The baby Pikachu. This guy is the definition of a glass cannon. He hits like a truck, but he also… hurts himself. Every time he uses his electric attacks, he takes a little bit of damage. It's inherently ridiculous.
How on earth does someone win a Major with a character that damages themselves? It’s pure skill, that’s how. The Pichu mains who win are basically mad geniuses. They have to play flawlessly, perfectly spacing their attacks and minimizing self-damage. It’s an act of pure willpower and incredible precision.
When a Pichu player wins, it’s a statement. It’s a big, fat “See? I can do it with this character!” It’s proof that in the right hands, even the most absurd mechanics can lead to victory. And honestly, it’s just fun to see him zip around, zapping everyone and somehow coming out on top.
Ness: The Boy Who Throws Anchors and Bats People Around
Ah, Ness. The kid from Onett. He’s got a psychic yo-yo, a baseball bat, and… an anchor? Yep. An anchor. It’s a weird arsenal, to say the least.
But when Ness players are on point, they are terrifying. They can control the stage with their PK Fire, they can zone with their PK Thunder, and their back air is legendary for taking stocks. The PK Thunder recovery is also iconic, for better or worse. It’s like a guided missile that can sometimes go way off stage.
Seeing Ness win a Major is a testament to understanding his hitboxes and how to exploit your opponent's weaknesses. It’s about mastering that somewhat clunky movement and turning it into a powerful force. Plus, the satisfaction of landing a perfect PK Flash? Unbeatable!
King K. Rool: The Big Boy Who Can Really Tank and Spank
Now for the king himself, King K. Rool. This guy is HUGE. He's a big, lovable (or maybe not so lovable, depending on who you ask) croc-like villain. And he hits like a truck.
His entire kit is designed to be annoying and powerful. He's got his crown throw that comes back, his belly super armor, and his cannonballs. He’s a character that rewards patient play and punishes mistakes ruthlessly. If you get caught by K. Rool, you're going to feel it.
The best K. Rool players are masters of stage control. They use his weight and his projectiles to wall out opponents, making it incredibly difficult for them to approach. And when they finally get that opening, oh boy. It’s a devastating combo or a powerful smash attack that sends them flying. Seeing him win is like watching a giant, grumpy dad finally get his way. And it's amazing.
Why Does It Even Matter? (Spoiler: It's Fun!)
Honestly, the fact that these characters can win Majors is what makes Smash Ultimate so endlessly fascinating. It’s not just about the top-tier characters dominating. It’s about players finding those hidden gems, those quirky fighters, and taking them all the way to the top.
It inspires us, right? It makes you want to pick up that character you thought was too weird or too weak and give them a serious try. Maybe your Main could be the next Major winner!
And let's not forget the pure entertainment value. Watching a Pichu self-destruct its way to victory or a Ness player somehow land a stage-crossing PK Thunder is pure magic. It's the kind of stuff that makes you laugh, cheer, and shake your head in disbelief.
So next time you're watching a Major, pay attention. See who's making waves. You might just be witnessing the rise of the next unlikely champion. And that, my friends, is what makes Smash Ultimate the best. It’s always full of surprises!
