Conker has an extremely low chance of getting into Smash Bros. Ultimate. And though I personally have no expectations for him getting a DLC spot, it's fun to hope and speculate, right? Conker's Bad Fur Day is one of my favorite games, so it was a lot of fun implementing refrences to the game in Smash. In this thread I will predict the moveset, taunts, stage layout and alternate costumes of this infamous red squirrel!
Who the hell is Conker?
Conker the squirrel is a beloved RARE character that made his first apperance as a selectable character in Diddy Kong Racing. He was presented as a cute, innocent kid squirrel in his first own game Conker's Pocket Tales, but a few years later all that was about to change. The cult classic Conker's Bad Fur Day was a limit breaking and never before seen game when it first came out. The seemingly cartoonish and kid friendly game featured cursing, bloody violence, alcohol and endless pop culture refrences. This grown up-Conker was lustful and greedy, and would often drink himself senseless. The game is incredibly funny with its well timed jokes and selfawareness.
Moveset
First of all, the fact that Smash Bros. is a family friendly game for good boys and girls of many different ages, sadly means that we can't feature any blood, alcohol, pissing, puking or cursing. Second of all, this is just my personal pics so if you have any better ideas I would gladly read them! Third of all, I'm not going to cover moves like tilt, jab, getup-attack and aerials, since they most likely will be simple attacks using his fists/tail. Overall, I want his personality to really show in smash. Everything from his eyes rolling around in his skull when getting knocked on the ground, to dodging like Neo from Matrix. He can also have A LOT of idle animations, just like in bad fur day.
Neutral Special - Slingshot
Conker pulls out his slingshot seen in both Pocket Tales and Bad Fur Day, firing fast, low-damaging conkers at a horizontally angle. Uncharged it will function like villager's forwardair with longer range. By holding down the button longer it will be gradually more fast and powerful, kinda like Diddy Kongs Peanut gun. Fully charged it will become a "fire conker", doing decent damage and knockback. While charging he can still move and jump, but not turn around.
Side Special - Mr. Barrel
Conker starts riding on top of Mr. Barrel grounding any opponents he runs across, just like Inklings paintroller. He can jump off the barrel anytime, making it bounce instead of roll. While bouncing it doesen't ground opponents anymore, but takes some damage with knockback instead. There can only be one barrel onscreen at a time.
Down Special - Anvil
This one functions basicly exactly like Kirby's down B. Conker turns himself into an anvil and slams into the ground, dealing huge amounts of damage. The difference from Kirby is that this move is more powerful, but after Conker hits the ground he will stand there being dizzy for a moment. So if you miss your opponent you can easily get punished!
Up Special - Helicopter Tail
Conker spins his tail quickly in the air like a helicopter. His recovery isn't that good in terms of vertical movement; it gives him an extra jump before sowly descending downwards with good horizontal options. It functions simular to Peach/Daisy's up B, but Conker's jump is shorter and more diagonal.
Forward throw
Conker throws the opponent forward, pulls out a cortoony shotgun and fires at them. Good finisher
Back throw
Conker spins around an throws like Mario/Banjo, as a refernece to the fight with the xenomorph.
Up throw
Conker throws his opponent a little upwards, before slicing them with a katana.
Down throw
Conker lights a dynamite stick and gives it to the opponent who lies on the ground, then he faces away and puts his fingers in his ears. The explosion does some good damage.
Forward Smash
Conker smacks opponents using his trusty frying pan. It has a fair amount of startup lag, but when it hits it's an excellent and satisfying finisher killing at early percents!
Up Smash
Conker pulls out a flamethrower, spewing flames back and forth above his head. It has very long range upwards, but leaves him vulnerable on ground.
Down Smash
He pulls out a chainsaw and uses his own body weight to spin around with it near the ground. It deals quite a lot of damage, but doesen't launch very far.
Final Smash
Conker jumps in his Atomic suit from the final boss in Bad Fur Day, and does the attack combo with uppercut. He then throws the opponent out into space!
Up taunt
Conker crosses his arms, steps with one foot and looks angrily into the camera!
Side taunt
Conker looks at his pocket watch.
Down taunt
Conker sits down and plays with his yellow gameboy.
Victory Poses
#1: Conker does the classic dollar sign-eye rolling and holds up a wad of cash while smiling.
#2: Conker gets picked up by Berri, who kisses him. He's happy with it.
#3: Conker sits in his throne staring sinisterly right into the camera, while sipping from a glass of milk.
Stage - Poo Mountain
The fight with the Great Mighty Poo is really memorable. That's why the inside of Poo Mountain gets into Smash! The stage consists of Three main platforms; one big in the middle and two smaller on each side of the screen with walkoffs. I recreated the stage layout in Paint, so you get the basic idea:

From time to time, the great Poo himself will show up and throw giant balls of feces that descends between the platforms. They deal some damage.
Alternate costumes
#1: Conker with his blue hoodie.
#2: Conker wearing a crown
#3: Conker with war uniform and helmet
#4: Conker with caveman-clothes
#5: Neo Conker
#6 Classic Conker with the blue and yellow singlet
#7: Conker wearing his Live & Reloaded clothes (green shorts)
#8: Conker wearing the Van Helsing-clothes from Live & reloaded
Thank you so much for reading my Smash prediction! If you have any better ideas be sure to write them down below, the final Smash for example has a lot of creative potential. It is really sad that we cant include mature themes, imagine how funny a drunk squirrel pissing and puking all over the place would've been in Super Smash bros.
