Finding all the new actors for this has been on the sideline for a while so strap yourselves in, this might be a long one:

The announcer is a mix of old and new audio and as we already know his VA Xander Mobus will be voicing Joker from Persona 5.

All the Mario characters (every last one of them) is all archive audio.

Link is now voiced by Kengo Takanashi from Breath of The Wild, Sheik and Zelda by Ayumi Fujimura and for Zelda in the World of Light intro Brandy Kopp voiced her for whatever lines she had. Toon Link is archive audio and I believe Young Link is too unless they got Fujiko Takimoto to do new lines. And lastly Ganondorf is voiced by Takashi Nagasako.

Pokémon wise, Jigglypuff is still the same old Jigglypuff in terms of archive audio. Pikachu and Mewtwo are archive audio as well with Pikachu's from Brawl and Mewtwo the previous game, likewise with Lucario and Greninja. For the Pokémon trainers themselves Billy Bob Thompson is Red (https://twitter.com/BillyBobThomps/status/1072186616465252357) and Kate Bristol is Leaf (https://twitter.com/Katelove/status/1071063688361246725). For the Kanto trio Michele Knotz is still Squirtle, Justin Anselmi is Ivysaur and Shinichiro Miki is still Charizard. And as for our Alola newcomer Incineroar H.D. Quinn does his voice.

All the Kirby characters are archive audio.

All the Metroid characters are not voiced with the exception of Zero Suit Samus voiced by Alesia Glidewell which in turn is archive audio.

Fox (Mike West), Falco (Mark Lund) and Wolf (Jay Ward) are all newly recorded.

Ness and Lucas are archive audio.

The Fire Emblem side is where things get funky. Both the Robins, both the Corrins and Lucina are archive audio. As for Chrom (Matthew Mercer), he's both old and new with the old being from Robin's stuff and new stuff as an actual playable character. Marth and Roy have also been dubbed at long last with Yuri Lowenthal as Marth and Ray Chase as Roy.(https://twitter.com/RayChase/status/1070905765139906560) Ike has been redubbed too with his current VA Greg Chun.

Pit (Antony Del Rio) and Palutena (Brandy Kopp) is a mix of old and new whilst Dark Pit is archive audio. Viridi sees a voice change due to the game being non-union with Hynden Walch being replaced by Dayci Brookshire.(https://twitter.com/Dayci/status/1082822039470133248)

Sanae Kobayashi returns to voice the Ice Climbers. The Pikmins are archive audio and Mr Game & Watch, R.O.B., Captain Olimar, Alph, the villagers, Isabelle, Mega Man, Pac-Man, aren't voiced.

The Wii Fit trainers, Little Mac, Shulk, Bayonetta, Sonic the Hedgehog, Cloud Strife are archive audio.

I've no clue if Solid Snake is new or old audio. Ken is voiced by Reuben Langdon and the Belmonts too (Simon is Keith Silverstein and Richter is David Vincent) and all the Custom Miis share the same 10 custom voices.

This should take care of the main fighters.
