Make a first-session choice
Choose All-round for a flexible starting point. Choose Pressure if you enjoy closing distance and committing to offense. Ranged asks you to protect space and watch resources. Mobile rewards repositioning. Grapple asks you to earn close-range opportunities.
Use one match to answer a narrow question. Can you reach your preferred distance? Can you land a reliable opening? Can you still defend when your strongest option is unavailable? Change your pick when its recurring limitation frustrates the way you want to play.
To sample a locked fighter in a local Custom Battle, use Tournament Mode. For lasting access in solo progression, follow the Lab workflow.
Check the game and version
This roster belongs to Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered. Kiryu and Showa Mechagodzilla are separate entries. Save the Earth and Unleashed have their own rosters. A character name or a six-digit code from an older guide needs a version check before you apply it here.
Rankings can also depend on the match type. The selector makes no promise about tournament win rates or a universal competitive tier. See multiplayer choices before choosing a fighter for a shared session.
