Are there any characters you want that nobody else wants?

[fogbadge]

Minior from Pokemon, gen 7.

Sure he's a boring flying rock. But his ability to transform from tank to glass cannon is cool.

And ez color pallets

i love minior, the thought of him a playable is amazing

Jibanyan. Yes he has support just maybe not a lot. Doubt he gets, in but Yo-Kai Watch is big, in Japan so maybe? I'd be happy with just an assist trophy.

 

[Gooper Blooper]

Plasm Wraith! Nobody cares about more Pikmin reps(besides Louie to a small degree), but Plasm Wraith has enough weird abilities to make a moveset and more villains are always welcome.

 

[Blue7113]

Masked Man

 

[Gemini-Gene]

I was thinking how NiGHTS would be interesting as a Semi Echo Fighter of Sonic and Rosalina (no Luma). NiGHTS wouldn't spin dash but you can have them replaced with boosting, drilling and air acrobatic attacks. In Ultimate NiGHTS' only chance in the game is a basic trophy or an Assist Trophy, but I bring up NiGHTS because it has appeared in more Sonic games and Sonic crossover titles than it's own series. If I, or Sega were to pick a character that isn't a Sonic character but is associated to him in a lot of crossovers then I would go with the purple Nightmaren as a newcomer.

I believe we're gonna get a Sonic echo but not another Sega character from a different IP which is unfortunate.

 

[SkySkipper]

Just about every character I can think of that I'd want, even down to super obscure ones like Hakkun, I can find somebody who wants them. Which is why I find it a little surprising that I've never seen anyone else even suggest Groudon as a playable character. Groudon's a very important third-generation Pokemon, so I don't know why, unless they figure it would be too big. Sure, the pokedex says that Groudon's 11 feet tall, but if you look at it in battle in the 3DS games, doesn't appear that much bigger than Charizard, for example.

id love medly too

 

[Basty]

Lara Croft by far. I honestly kind of think she's likely for DLC, but that's a man dreaming.

Also Tracer and Dante, but I doubt those two will happen unless they have IMMENSE support

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Earthworm Jim. It's not that no one wants him, it's just that most people wouldn't think it's possible right now due to ownership issues.

 

[Souldin]

I have admittedly not gone through every page of this specific thread, but I have yet to see anyone other than myself want Vince from Art Academy to be playable.

I think it'd be a cool Wii Fit esque series to represent, and unlike Wii Fit or Style Savvy, Vince is a named character with a personality who can represent his series. An artist fighter also has plenty of potential for a unique move-set.

I've previously considered making him a Support thread, but often realise that I don't have the time spare to manage one (plus, having no idea what to do in managing one).

id be on board for him

 

[Luigifan18]

Corsola. Definitely Corsola.

 

[Frizz]

Kris from Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem. He's just another blue-haired swordsman from Fire Emblem, so he doesn't bring anything new to the table. I'll probably just secondary Marth to compensate for him not being in the game.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Anthony Higgs from Metroid Other M! Anyone remember him?

Also Magikarp.

 

[leprechaunlink727]

Tingle has always had at least a little bit of support from people with good taste, but my real obscure pick has always been Pious Augustus from Eternal Darkness. I mean, just look at him!

That's 1st Party Nintendo character!! A Lich in Roman Centurion armor, metal as ****! Reps a highly underrated and influential cult classic and Nintendo's only attempt at its own horror IP other than Luigi's mansion. I also think the magic system from that game could make for a real cool moveset, he could summon zombies and create barrier fields and ****. He's got a short sword and a magic staff MADE FROM A HUMAN SPINE... Hell yeah!

Never ever gonna happen though. I'd honestly be elated to even have just an Eternal Darkness trophy. Not even an Assist Trophy... just an acknowledgment that this game was a thing.

 

[Anop]

Birdo. A very overlooked character

 

[Gemini-Gene]

Well, I have some suggestions.

Captain N: getting the Pit and KI reboot/redesign treatment. He could also be a Subspace main character that travels to different game IPs, like a videogame version of Kingdom Hearts without the convoluted story.
Doom Slayer
The rest of the DK Krew: including Tiny Kong's redesign.
Funky Kong: using the weapons from his shop in DK 64 and a Surfing recovery or dash attack.
Spinal or Fulgore from Killer Instinct
Scorpion or Sub-Zero: Conveniently the number of MK Ninjas fit the number costume color slots in Smash.
Pauline
Candy Kong

The last two suggestions aren't characters that I'm dying to see in Smash or believe that they NEED to be playable in Smash (in Mario spin off games they should at this point), but they certainly have enough source material from the games they're in to make an interesting move set without being out of character. I've made a short post in another thread on what their specials and attacks could be.

 

[Mariomaniac45213]

Anthony Higgs from Metroid Other M! Anyone remember him?

Also Magikarp.

Sorry bro I'm also on the Anthony Higgs train. I was actually a big supporter of him in the Smash 4 days when I realized Dark samus was an assist trophy and Ridley was a stage boss. I always felt he should've took over Snake's moveset for that game. I still wouldn't mind if he snuck in Ultimate somehow though that's like 0.9% chance of that actually happening.

As for character that I want that I see no one else clamoring for.... DJ Octavio from Splatoon. I love me some villains and DJ Octavio is right under King K.Rool when it comes to my personal favorite Nintendo villain. I have no idea how he would fight outside of his giant mech but if Sakurai can make Duck Hunt or Wii Fit Trainer work I don't see why he couldn't for Octavio.

 

[volbound1700]

Epic Mickey. He would have an awesome moveset and he would be iconic!

 

[Arymle Roseanne]

I'm not really asking for him to be in Smash since it's very unlikely but I would love to have Axel Stone from Streets of Rage especially for the music that he could bring in. Captain Falcon has some similarities to Axel though.

Would you mind linking me to said post? I'm interested in seeing it.

Silicon Knights is pretty dead these days, so I'm not sure if there's anything that'd stop Nintendo from using its material.

Well, you never know, Streets of Rage 4 is a thing now, and it could get a Switch version. Besides, there's always Blaze Fielding.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

A Fatal Frame character.

It's hard to find any legit fans of the series here other than me, Souldin, Rie, and Enchess.

I can't believe I didn't found out about this before, omg yes!! Dreams can come true!

Zael from The Last Story, a game that, like Xenoblade, was campaigned for by Operation Rainfall to convince NoA to release it in North America. And while the latter game was popular enough to spawn two follow-ups, and Xenoblade protagonist Shulk appears in both Smash 4 and Ultimate, Zael's game never got as much attention or exposure, and he only appeared as a trophy. And I doubt many care about him being in Smash now, unfortunately.

 

[Sc_Ev0lution]

Before the fake "leak" with Agnes I might have suggested a Bravely Default character, but they've been somewhat discussed recently. Still, I really liked the games and thought it would be fun to see one of the characters as playable since Smash 4 so it's nice to see more discussion around them.

Likewise Reimu Hakurei from Touhou, while certainly not commonly talked about on the boards, is brought up on occasion, even if a bit infrequently in the context of an indie discussion. It's unfortunately easy both to understate and overstate Touhou's presence and importance. It managed to achieve international if niche appeal with minimal advertising and largely by word of mouth, though the memes didn't hurt. Touhou has also built it's legacy with consistent releases over 20 years. Just as Ryu is "mr. fighting game" and Cloud is "mr. JRPG," I don't think it's too much of a stretch to call Reimu "ms. bullet hell" though again that's an inherently niche genre. And though I'd be legitimately intrigued to see how Sakurai would build a moveset off a combination of the projectile-based bullet hells and the official 2d fighting games, I admit at least half the reason I want Reimu in smash is the amazing Touhou music. Assuming the stars don't align and Reimu misses the base game, I hope support for her picks up as speculation over dlc begins.

Now, one character that recently I've been wanting and that no one else probably wants is Arkantos from Age of Mythology.

He's the head Admiral of Atlantis and has the ability to boost the attack of allied units close to him for a short time, a mechanic which would be interesting for team matches. I don't think the Age of Empires is the most renown RTS out there (that's probably starcraft) but it certainly has it's own legacy and has had a resurgence recently, as well as having an impact on myself growing up. I think Arkantos would be a good choice to represent the Age of Empires series as he's the main character from one of the more popular entries in the series and also circumnavigates the issue characters from the Age of Empires II have of being actual historical figures. While at face value he doesn't seem to have much moveset potential, having some sort of resource management system could be interesting, though I really don't know how that would be implemented. At the end of the day though, Arkantos is definitely a niche and personal pick.

 

[RileyXY1]

I don't remember if I ever posted here, but Hat Kid from A Hat In Time would fit in amazingly despite it never being on a Nintendo platform.

And, now it is!

 

[Captain Hazama]

Mine would have to be Garam, from Battle Clash, (Space Bazooka in Japanese) The first person you fight in the first and second series of this game. I haven't heard from anyone who wants anything from this game.

 

[Mastermiine]

These two!

 

[shanesaw]

Micheal Jackson

 

[Nenkendo]

Clay & Ace from Mario Power Tennis (your main Playable charactors in the Story Mode of the game.
Both from the GBA era and First Party Adjacent characters that represent a current and popular Nintendo Franchise with no Direct representation within the smash verse. the games not completely forgotten as it got a port over to the Wii U in 2014.

 

[THE TemporaryFool]

Probably Pico, Samurai Goroh, and Dr. Stuart (Steuart?) just so the original F-zero cast is in.

 

[fogbadge]

These two!

youre defiantly not the only one who wants billy

 

[Soulsaint]

Psyduck and Gilius Thunderhead

 

[FunAtParties]

I'd be legit happy if any of General Scales, Mawile, KK Slider, or E.Gadd made it

 

[CloudedSun]

Addam from Xenoblade 2. I'm hype about the new Torna expansion coming next week, and I like Addam's attitude and fighting style a lot. If he would make it in, he'd be a Rex and Pyra echo with Mythra, though I like his potential as a unique fighter.

nope i want him too, i just waiting for it to come out before i start the support thread

 

[Kirbyfan391]

Honestly, ever since Smash 64, the ONLY Pokemon character I've ever wanted was...Ash Ketchum, or at least a Pokemon Trainer(functioning differently from the Pokemon Trainer in Smash).
I wanted it so that you actually control the Trainer and attack through summoning various pokemon(and regular human jabs and stuff), also having the bicycle in the moveset. It'd be the ideal Pokemon representation to me since in mainline Pokemon games you control the trainer and walk around with the trainer, not the pokemon. I haven't seen this idea brought up at all though and there already exists a Pokemon Trainer in Smash that functions differently but to this day, this still makes sense to me and is the only main Pokemon character I'd be excited for tbh.

Also from what I saw of the anime, I was a bigger fan of Ash and the human characters than any of the Pokemon so funnily enough I was disappointed when Pikachu was playable instead.

 

[CloudedSun]

Haha, then we're on the same page. I was thinking about making one for him after it comes out too, but I'll leave it to you!
