Main Heroes
Captain Falcon
One of the heroes, hailing from the F-Zero universe. Captain Falcon is a valiant individual, and being a seasoned fighter, knows much about The Convergence and how everything works.
- Calling Your Attacks: In his fight with Blood Falcon.
- Experienced Protagonist: He was one of the earliest fighters to arrive in The Convergence, and has fought in each tournament for the past ten years.
- Lightning Bruiser: Is fairly quick, but still manages to pack a punch.
- Mr. Exposition: For Sonic.
Sonic the Hedgehog
"I'm the fastest thing alive!"
A hero hailing from the world of Mobius. He recently arrived in this world, and has yet to get used to the changes from his homeworld.
- Audience Surrogate: He asks Captain Falcon several questions about the world, primarily how the tournament works.
- Deadpan Snarker: Let's out several quips every once in a while.
- Deuteragonist
- I Shall Taunt You: In his fight against Blood Falcon, which threw off the villain's concentration.
- Super-Speed: While it's toned down compared to his usual speed, Sonic's still the fastest fighter.
- Unwitting Pawn: Helps Shadow fight Mewtwo, despite the former clearly being the villain.
Shadow the Hedgehog
"You know what they say about pride: it comes before the fall!"
A friend of Sonic's who worked alongside the other villains until he was rescued by Mewtwo.- Adaptational Villainy: When he's on the villain's side, anyway. He returns to his standard Anti-Hero personality afterward.
- Berserk Button: Hates being mocked.
- Co-Dragons: With Black Shadow when they're working together.
- Flight: One of his abilities.

- Power Floats
- Power Palms: Can shoot energy out of his hands.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Blue Oni to Black Shadow's Red Oni.
- The Stoic
- Surrounded by Idiots: Considers Black Shadow to be a complete imbecile. If it weren't for the fact that they have a mission to do, he would have gladly allowed Mewtwo to blast him.
Mewtwo
"This world limits our abilities in some areas, and expands upon them in others."
One of the older fighters, and a close friend of Lucario.
- Charged Attack: Tried to launch a Shadow Ball against Black Shadow. However, it failed at the last moment when Shadow caught on.
- His Psybeam is another example, requiring him to put all his concentration into the move.
- Experienced Protagonist: Knows all too well the awkwardness that Lucario is feeling about adjusting to this new world.
- The Mentor: To Lucario.
- Student–Master Team: The Master to Lucario's Student.
- Telepathy: One of his many Psychic Powers.
Lucario
"Fighting in this world feels so different. I still have a lot to learn."
One of the newcomers to this world. Because of his novice status, he is being trained by Mewtwo.

- Energy Ball: His Aura Sphere move.
- Fish out of Water: Is completely unaware of how things work in this world.
- Humble Hero: Brushes off praise of Captain Falcon, despite being the one to finally defeat Black Shadow. The captain calls him out on it, saying he's too modest.
- Ki Manipulation: His Aura abilities.
- Power Palms: The Force Palm attack, which channels the Aura into his paws.
- Student–Master Team: He's the Student to Mewtwo's Master.
- Taught by Experience: Defending the portal leads him to realize that he needs further experience in battle to hone his skills.
Link
"You know I'm only doing this to preserve my strength."
The Hero of Hyrule, and one of the older fighters.
- Adaptational Wimp: In the Zelda series, Link is never shown to give up hope, due to being blessed with the Triforce of Courage. Here, however, he often throws his matches and seems to take a half-hearted stance with whatever fights he sees through to the end.
- Properly Paranoid: Suspects that Ganondorf may be plotting something. While this isn't anything new, Link's paranoia becomes justified when both the stadium where the tournament was held and the portal that connects to each fighter's world are suddenly attacked.
- Reluctant Warrior: Intentionally forfeits most of his matches as of late. He tries to justify it by saying it's to preserve his strength and avoid injury in the event Ganondorf strikes.
Sheik
"And there goes my record. Whatever; I'll get it back eventually."
The alter ego of Princess Zelda and an ally of Link.
- Action Girl: Plans to take up the mantle as Hyrule's hero given Link's recent apathy.
- Adaptation Personality Change: In the Zelda games, Sheik (and by extension Zelda) is depicted as a stoic yet kind individual. While Sheik retains her reserved nature and wisdom here, she's also become more prone to violence.
- Chain Pain: Is a bit too eager to use her chain on foes.
- Enhanced Interrogation Techniques: Willing to beat the ever-loving tar out of someone if they have info she needs.
- Ninja
- Samus Is a Girl: Sonic mistakenly believes Sheik is a man. Captain Falcon quickly informs him that this isn't the case.
Meta Knight
"I will force you to use your full power from the start."
One of the new competitors hailing from Dream Land, and a top fighter.
- Accent Adaptation: Like his counterpart in the Kirby anime, he has a Spanish accent.
- Bring It: Says something akin to it before every battle.
- Tornado Move: His Mach Tornado attack.
- Worthy Opponent: To Fox.
Bowser
"Can't a Koopa King get any respect around here?"
The King of the Koopas. Despite his reputation as a known villain, his kingdom comes under assault from Ganondorf; this prompts him to get revenge and join with the main heroes.
- Dragons Prefer Princesses: Though considering Peach has Taken A Level In Badass in addition to having Mario and Luigi's protection, Bowser is left wondering if kidnapping her is even worth the trouble anymore.
- Enemy Mine: If Word of God is any indication, he teams up to join the fight against Ganondorf.
- Evil Versus Evil: Ganondorf launches an assault on his castle, prompting the Koopa King to retaliate.
- Harmless Villain: To the denizens of the Mushroom Kingdom, hence why everyone (Bowser himself included) is unprepared for an attack from Ganondorf.
- Not Me This Time: Isn't responsible for the recent attack on the Mushroom Kingdom.
- Villainous Crush: On Peach, per the norm.
Peach
Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom. After her kingdom is attacked by Ganondorf's forces, she joins up with the main heroes.

- Royals Who Actually Do Something: Will join the fight to stop Ganondorf's ambitions to avenge her kingdom.
- Took a Level in Badass: If Bowser's word is any indication, Peach has been participating in several tournaments as means of improving her self-defense.

One of the top fighters in the tournament, hailing from the Lylat system.
- The Ace: The best out of all the fighters, without question.
- Defeating the Undefeatable: Managed to beat Meta Knight in the finals, something that no one thought to be possible.
- Experienced Protagonist: Like Captain Falcon, he was one of the first to arrive in The Convergence: as such, he's had plenty of time to build a rep.
- Fantastic Fighting Style: His "shine" technique, which utilizes a combination of his reflector and physical attacks.
- The Leader: Though he doesn't bear any official title, his reputation is enough to warrant him some authority.
- He does officially become this after the defeat of Black Shadow, forming a sort of "counter rebellion."
- Worthy Opponent: To Meta Knight.
Falco
"Now get off your ass and win this thing!"
One of the top fighters, and Fox's closest friend.
- Didn't See That Coming: Didn't anticipate Meta Knight, who is a newcomer, to defeat him.
- Fantastic Fighting Style: Apparently prefers to "style" on his opponents, which involves taking them out in the flashiest ways possible.
- Friendly Rivalry: With Fox. He had hoped that the two of them would face off in the finals, but Meta Knight ended up winning instead.
- Punched Across the Room: In the battle against Black Shadow. He lands so hard, in fact, he leaves an indent in the wall.
- Rousing Speech: Gives a few words of encouragement to Fox before his finals match.
Villains

Phantom Ganon
"Well, fancy meeting you here. I have to admit, I wasn't expecting any visitors."
A minion of Ganondorf's, who aids the villains in their quest for world domination.

"Finally, someone with real fighting spirit! Too bad I'll have to break it!"
One of the villains working to take over the world.

- The Brute

Blood Falcon
"No longer shall we be slaves to an invisible oppressor!"

- Co-Dragons: With Ghirahim.
- Monster Lord: Seeing as how he creates the Shadows Beasts in his home game, it's possible the same applies here.
- Pummel Duel: With Captain Falcon.
- Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs: Can go toe-to-toe with the equally fast Captain Falcon.
