Cut Fighters

These are the confirmed fighters that were removed during development. The removal can be for many reasons.

## Pre-Trailer

These contestants were removed before the World of Light trailer.

### ARC-1: Evil Leafy

Evil Leafy, a recommended debuter from Battle for Dream Island, was considered to be playable pre-trailer, but was demoted to a boss because she wasn't technically ever a contestant. She was then removed completely because she didn't have enough material to be a boss.

### ARC-2 & ARC-3: Coconut Gun and Lemon Demon

Coconut Gun and Lemon Demon from TROC 4 were both considered for the roster at one point, before the idea was dropped due to controversies concerning them (especially the former).

### ARC-4: Pickaxe

Another pre-trailer cut character. Not much is known about why Pickaxe got cut, but supposedly he was replaced by 1970's Globey.

## First Deluge

This group of removals began when Printer was declared dead by polysided. Potted Plant and Shapy were soon removed as well. Controlly and Mr. Sketch Marker were considered for replacements, but were cut as well.

### ARC-5: Printer

Printer from Legoboynj's infamous Object Terror was added in DLC Pass 2, before being cut a few months later due to major controversies concerning Object Terror.

### ARC-6: Potted Plant

Potted Plant from Mysterious Object Super Show was intended to be playable as of DLC Pass 3, but was removed alongside Printer due to controversies concerning polysided adding characters from their show before it even properly released

### ARC-7: Shapy

Shapy, along with Potted Plant, was added with DLC Pass 3, before being shortly removed for similar reasons to Potted Plant.

### ARC-8: Controlly

Controlly was briefly added to replace the removed contestants, before quickly being dropped from the roster.

### ARC-9: Mr. Sketch Marker

Mr. Sketch Marker was also added to the roster momentarily before quickly being dropped from the roster.

## Second Deluge

### ARC-10: Sticky Note

Reason of removal: Due to certain people accusing polysided (the creator of the show and BFSU) of bias due to the unreleased nature of MOSS.

The MOSS series does appear in the game as one of the game's many symbols since Inkling and Piston is one of them but Sticky Note is not confirmed to be one of them.

### ARC-12: Siren

Reason of removal: Code Red doesn't have an episode yet.

### ARC-13: Cary

Reason of removal: Unknown

The TWOW series does appear in the game as one of the game's many symbols since Hazel Cricket is one of them but Cary is not confirmed to be one of them.

### ARC-14: Michael

Fernozzle Michael was added as one of the last fighters of DLC Pass 3, as a foil to Cary. In the second roster deluge, Michael was removed from the roster, likely due to not necessarily being an object show character.

### ARC-15: Ball

Ball from Battle for the Respect of Roboty was originally added to the roster in DLC Pass 3, via fan ballot. Ball was later replaced by Two following the release of BFB 16. When questioned why Ball specifically was cut, polysided cited the cancellation of his show to be the reason.

## Third Deluge

These characters will (hopefully) be the final roster cut, this time done by the BFSU backroom.

### ARC-16: Tart

This cut, like Bushy below, was revealed after Discord user Invis implied that Tart would be cut. Another Discord user, Kommo-o, revealed a Discord post by Data stating he would've cut Tart or Bushy around the TPOT split. Nidgey would then deconfirm Tart and Bushy. The reason behind them being cut won't be explained until the cuts and replacements are officially out.

### ARC-17: Bushy

Like Tart above, Bushy was cut early when Discord user Kommo-o revealed a Discord post by Data stating he would've cut Tart or Bushy over Ball.
