Character

A character, in the artistic point of view, refers to the person or other being that is part of a narrative work. There exists numerous characters in the McLeodGaming media, filling different roles according to the work play. Characters can be sorted into playable and non-playable categories, which distinguishes whether they can be directly controlled by the player.
== Characters in the Super Smash Flash series ==
=== Playable characters ===
Playable characters in the series can be divided into starter and unlockable characters, which distinguishes whether characters can be played immediately after starting the game or need to be unlocked.
These characters conform a roster chosen beforehand by the games' developers themselves. The roster for the original Super Smash Flash was selected by Greg Cleod9 McLeod himself; because SSF did not start development as a Super Smash Bros. fan game, it saw the addition of fan characters. When it eventually evolved into a Super Smash Bros. fan game, the availability for suitable sprite sheets at the time became the main factor for characters to be included, and as such, many veterans from the Super Smash Bros. series did not appear, but conversely many third-party and fourth-party characters got added instead, such as the infamous manga-originated characters. The roster for the reboot Super Smash Flash 2 was expanded; it originally comprised 45 characters,http://web.archive.org/web/20100516020945/http://www.mcleodgaming.com:80/ssf2sprites/ this time selected by Cleod9 and the initial development team. This roster, though, has long been dropped by the current staff and a new one has since been constructed with more unexpected additions, notably removing fan characters. Unlike with SSF, the SSF2 developers create their own sprite sets for the game rather than using existing public sprite sheets.
This is a list of the playable characters in the Super Smash Flash series. Shaded cells denote unlockable characters.
