Y'all, Smash Ultimate is fun as fuck. It's fast action, smooth maneuvering, and balanced fighting techniques across a butt load of characters. I'm bought into the hype.
Nintendo has gone buck wild with the character additions in Ultimate. With the surprise announcements like Piranha Plant and Joker from the Persona franchise, and the knowledge of upcoming Challenger Packs, it looks as if there may be a full range of new fighters Nintendo plans to include.
However, all the "out there" characters that have been added across Smash titles tend to meet two major requirements: 1. The character's first appearance was in a video game: Why Goku and Superman will not be added anytime soon. If the character was created in another form of media and was not originally created in a video game, it likely won't be in Smash. 2. The game featuring the character has been published on a Nintendo console: How characters like Snake, Ryu, Ken, and Joker got in. All Smash characters come from a video game franchise with at least one game published on a Nintendo console. Of course, the issue of intellectual property ownership is a factor that I don't think most of us can accurately account for without disclosure of internal information.
With that said, I've been thinking about potential characters that meet the two major requirements, have enough notability to be added, and could have a full fighting moveset: Banjo and Kazooie Sora (Kingdom Hearts) Crash Bandicoot Dixie Kong Boo Chris or Jill (Resident Evil) Waluigi (ffs nintendo just do it)
For now, let's discuss other possible character additions! Who else do you consider as a potential add? Feel free to list characters by likelihood of entry.
I really wish Nintendo would make a new warioland game and nake walugi a playable character (like luigi is in Mario games) and a big part of the story. Would be a safer way for them to test the waters on if people would buy a game about him.
And I say issac. He's from perhaps my favorite turn based rpg and I'd hold some hope he'd generate enough hype Nintendo may try to revive the series. Hopefully realize one flop doesn't mean the series should die. ---
