Please only comment with ONE hidden detail or reference!
There is ONE Loss, ONE Balthazar and ONE crewmate. Not counting obscure retro characters this time because there are many. Bonus panels don't count.
1: Yep, Professor Layton has a sword in the second panel. This is indeed a reference to his fencing skills, Phloxiana.
2: Melia (from Xenoblade) is visible as a silhouette in the second panel.
3: Phoenix Wright is objecting to something. Not sure how that will help, Jon Brouse.
4: He's also getting a wasp nest chucked at his head by Graham.
5: Rayman is punching Eggman all the way from one side of the battlefield to the other. Imagine how much fun he would have been in Smash, Nicholas Dalmacio.
6: The two lanky moustachio'd purple guys immediately start fighting in the third panel. I think they feel threatened by each other, Fighting Master.
7: Correct Zanreo, the LocoRoco and the Dragon Quest Slime don't want to fight, they just want to be friendos, as seen in the third panel.
8: Mario jumps on a Goomba in the third panel, since that's his speciality, Erick_Martinez__.
9: Spyro and Claude's wyvern are charging at the Ender Dragon in the third panel, so yes, it's dragon versus dragon, Palmer Hugh!
10: Kazuya and Piranha plant form a father-and-son team with Bowser and Bowser Jr. in the third panel. They do make a great team, Trigger.
11: Speaking of fathers and sons: Dracula and Alucard are locked in combat as well. They don't make such a great team unfortunately.
12: I'm assuming you mean gun, Angel Soto. But yeah, Donald is also having fun in the third panel. With his gun. This is a reference to that one meme where someone edited a gun into his hand.
13: Goofy is protecting Cuphead and Donald with this shield, so they can fire their guns unbothered.
14: The headcrab chose the wrong fighter to jump on, since R.O.B. is not an organic lifeform. Good catch, Calvin Barbanell!
15: There's a kamehameha beam visible in the background of the third panel, indicating Goku's presence.
16: A Moblin is grabbing the Bokoblin in the third panel, referencing Moblins using Bokoblins as weapons in Breath of the Wild.
17: To confuse possible invaders, Sephiroth's palace has very unhelpful signs that just say "???" both ways.
18: In the teddy bear shadow creature in the fourth panel, one can see a little crewmate along the skulls. Sharp eyes, law_guy!
19: Squirtle is Naruto-running in the fourth panel, referencing his Smash animations.
20: This week's loss is visible on the Elite's shoulder in the fifth panel, as spotted by Cameron Devera.
21: The poor Elite is probably assuming he's fighting Master Chief, but he's up against the Doom Slayer. Not that Master Chief wouldn't kick his ass either of course, UnSaxon51.
22: Ah, so the kick is from the boxart, Generic Hero? I didn't know, I just googled "Kiryu kick" and drew the one I saw first. But yes, Kiryu is using his signature kick to kick a Metroid in the fifth panel.
23: The two Rabbids previously seen on both armies are now having a slapping contest in the fifth panel, as pointed out by Percylegallois.
24: Doom Slayer and both Isabelles still have a special relationship it seems. He is now carrying two of them, Deuce Ray!
25: Dr. Neo Cortex is standing on Raiden from SNK in the fifth panel.
26: Sans is indeed speaking in lowercase Comic Sans, just like in Undertale, Daniel Myhre!
27: The little fox Shadow guy has a Stand arrow in the 6th panel. Can't remember what the guy is called. Anyway, good catch Steven Gardner!
28: In the same panel, Balthazar's butt is visible above Joker's head. You found him this week, luis alfredo gaona loredo!
29: The museum guard is once again conveniently censored. This time by her own hat floating by in the vortex.
30: Four Sephiroth Dickbutts are part of the fancy entrance to Sephiroth's Special Exhibition, as seen in the final panel and as pointed out by Shelby Kinkead.
31: Squirtle hid in his shell when the palace got distorted. You can still see him spinning around in the final panel.
32: And yes, the usual JoJo "To Be Continued" arrow makes another appearance, Josha Eddleston!
33: The title is a reference to three Smash games: Ultimate, Brawl and Melee. Only the description was a reference to the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny, Spirit of Gotham.
Not every character in the army is a hidden detail.
All the details that haven't been found are written in italic.
