Super smash Bros ultimate will be featuring the most characters from a Smash title to
date.
The base game has 74 playable fighters, 63 which are returning from previous games, and
11 brand new ones.
This game will feature every single fighter to have ever appeared in a Smash game, along
with a complete detailed revision of every single one of them.
Nintendo really up-ed it’s game with this one, friends.
Currently, we know that the 5 upcoming DLCs will each feature a new character.
So today, we’re jumping into hypothetical land and musing about which characters we’d
love to see as fighters in Smash, with our list of the top 10 characters you want to
see in smash bros ultimate.
10 Crash Bandicoot Back in the summer of 2018, Crash Bandicoot’s
N Sane trilogy debuted outside of its typical home on the Playstation and onto the Switch,
Xbox One, and PC.
This opens the door to some serious collaboration between Nintendo and Naughty Dog’s genetically
altered eastern barred bandicoot, and would finally let fans have all of the big 90s video
gaming mascots in one title together, at last.
Crash’s inclusion would be a really big deal for many gamers, so here’s hoping that
Sony lets him join in on the fun.
9 Doom Guy Doom Guy has finally come to the Nintendo
Switch!
Doom is now on the console, making way for the silent protagonist of the series to join
in on the smash fun.
Doom Guy would be an easy choice; he’s got one hell of an arsenal of weapons, and his
BFG could be incorporated into his Final Smash.
He’s also a character with a long, long history, and would be a popular and recognizable
addition to the game that may even draw in new players.
So why not?
8 Isaac This once is part personal preference, if
I’m being totally honest.
Back in 2001, an RPG game called Golden Sun was released for the game boy advance.
It was the first of three in its series, and followed the story of friends who were magically
inclined called Adepts, who are meant to protect the world from the destructive power of alchemy.
They collect something called Djinn, elemental creatures that they use in battle against
their enemies.
The first title was praised by critics, even called one of the best 2D Japanese RPGs created
for any system by IGN.
The lead protagonist, Isaac, was the Venus adapt, controlling Earth based Djinn.
Because of the Djinn mechanic, Isaac would be a great addition to smash, in a similar
but more focused vein than the Pokemon Trainer.
Smash has been known to pluck characters from more obscure titles in the past, and he’s
even appeared as an Assist Trophy before in Smash Bros Brawl.
Plus, his addition would be a great way to introduce a new Golden Sun title for the Switch,
and for fans of the series, like yours truly, that potential is extremely exciting.
7 Captain Toad Captain Toad is an obvious yet unconventional
choice for a fighter in Smash.
Imagine Captain Toad swinging around a pickaxe in battle, or plucking something out from
the ground; the character could have a really unique and creative moveset if included in
the game.
And considering the Switch re-released Treasure Tracker, the character boasts enough attention
these days to actually be considered as one of the DLC fighters.
The Treasure Tracker game itself could even provide for one hell of an interesting stage
addition, especially if the game’s altering camera perspectives are adapted.
6 Crono Crono from the Chrono Trigger series is one
of those potential fighters that fans are a little surprised hasn’t been added into
the Smash roster by now.
For starters, the franchise is a beloved one, and publisher Square Enix and Nintendo have
a long history together.
That being said, Crono is a much older character in comparison to some of the other Square
properties that have appeared in Ultimate, like Cloud from Final Fantasy.
If there was ever any intention of the series coming out with a new title, perhaps Crono
would be an excellent fit in one of the DLC’s, and since there are rumorus that one of the
upcoming DLC characters is a Square property, there is hope for the future.
5 Kass The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild produced
many new fan favourite characters, including Kass, the travelling storyteller.
A member of the Rito tribe, Kass is a large bird who is not only capable of busting out
a tune, but can also fly, which would be a nice factor to weave into his moveset.
His musical talents could also come into play, giving him an original flavor that we don’t
really have in the current roster, aside from perhaps Jigglypuff and her Sing up special.
And although we never actually see Kass fight in breath of the wild, its not like he’d
be the only fighter on Smash’s roster with a similar background.
You tell me if the Wii Fit Trainer goes around kicking butt for a living in her down time.
Speaking of Zelda characters- 4 Prince Sidon
Prince Sidon first appeared in the Legend of Zelda franchise in the recent Breath of
the Wild.
He’s the Zora prince, and offers the whole package; he’s an excellent warrior, has
a great attitude, and, as many fans noticed, he’s pretty darn attractive for a fiction
shark man.
Fans of Sidon got real thirsty for the character when Breath of the Wild came out, and even
heavily shipped Link and Sidon together in fan art.
With that kind of popularity, he would be a shoe in for Smash.
Considering the large roster of Zelda characters already in Smash, what’s one more?
3 Solaire of Astora Dark Souls, aside from being hailed as one
of the most difficult series to play by many a gamer, is a series that often gets a lot
of love from other game developers; an adoration with often emerges in the form of a bonfire
easter egg in many a title.
But the dev love extends out further from there.
For example, Nintendo actually has an amiibo of Solaire of Astora, who has become somewhat
of a mascot for the Dark Souls franchise over the years.
Dark Souls has also been released on the Switch.
So it wouldn’t be too much of a long shot for Solarie to be considered as a potential
fighter in the game; he’d fit in perfectly.
2 The Champions of Hyrule One neat suggestion for an addition to Ultimate
comes from Gamespot’s Matt Espineli, who speculated what it would be like to see Breath
of the Wild’s Champions of Hyrule integrated into the game.
The Champions are a team of five, one representing each of the five races of Hyrule, to battle
against Calamity Ganon.
The Champions could take up one character slot, similar to the Pokemon Trainer, and
allow players to switch between the four champions, with Link obviously excluded since he already
has a presence accounted for in the game.
Each champion could have a unique and interesting skill set based off of what their capable
of in Breath of the Wild, and considering the success the game had back in 2017, a character
addition from that title seems like it would be a no brainer.
1 Waluigi It’s hard out there for Waluigi.
Luigi’s arch nemesis, while initially having to deal with some polarizing reception after
his debut in 2000, has had quite the history.
He’s got a cult following.
He’s become a meme.
Fans and critics alike have bashed him, defended him, described him as cynical, or painted
him as downright evil.
But regardless of the constant hate love dialogue, it’s undeniably that Waluigi has one of
the most distinct personalities in Mario’s roster of characters, and it’s even more
undeniable that fans of Waluigi would LOVE to see him in Smash, especially since the
likelihood of him ever getting his own solo game continues to remain impossible.
Fans were disappointed when it was revealed that the character would only appear in Ultimate
as an Assist Trophy, as seen in the game’s previews at E3 2018.
As IGN’s Joe Skrebels noted, Nintendo’s choice to do so felt like, I quote, “a slap
in the face for those who want a playable Waluigi.
This eventually led to the president of Nintendo of America acknowledging the demand for Waluigi
and noted that the series directo Masahiro Sakurai is well aware of the support for Waluigi,
and that ultimately, it’s his decision whether or not the character will ever be included
in Ultimate’s roster.
