First appearing in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Marth later returned for Smash Bros. Brawl.  The announcement of his inclusion makes him the 18th character to be officially revealed, though that's not including the Male Wii Fit Trainer we spotted last week , as it's possible that's just an alternate skin. You check out some shots of Marth in action below, and head over to our wiki to see the full list of confirmed characters
