Oh, believe me, there are a LOT. Among others, we've got swords, crossbows, halberds, axes, spears, rapiers, and let's not forget the recurring Moonlight Greatsword. There's a metric ton of weaponry to pick from, and for good reason.
Well, there's this
Dark Souls is most certainly not lacking a banger soundtrack. You've got things like Ornstein and Smough, Great Wolf Sif, and Lord Gwyn, among others. As for remixes, I'd love to hear Yoko Shimomura's take on Firelink Shrine.
(team battle w/ (Color 7)) on Arena Ferox (Main Theme - Dark Souls III)x2 (team battle w/Chosen Undead w/Gold transformation) on Castle Siege (Taurus Demon) on Arena Ferox Ω (Knight Artorias) (team battle w/) on Unova League (Sir Alonne)on Temple (Battlefield) (Slave Knight Gael) ( interrupts and attacks indiscriminately) on Anor Londo (Ornstein and Smough)) (Gwyn, Lord of Cinder)
Apparently Dark Souls was FromSoft's best-selling game in Japan when it came out. They even have FROMCults dedicated to FromSoft games since Armored Core.
Does this mean I can make "cult fanbase" jokes and have it work?
Probably lol
This moveset seems cool. What exactly happens when Chosen Undead runs out of stamina? Can you just not use any attacks until it refills?For my interpretation, I primarily looked to Source Gaming's likewise interpretaion.

Special Moves
B : Homing Soulmass; Chosen Undead summons five magic orbs around his head, which can damage opponents upon contact (2% each, small knockback; uses nearly ½ of your Stamina). Pressing B a second time (or waiting a few seconds) causes the orbs to home in on any opponents in range (5% each, small knockback; uses nearly ½ your Stamina)
B + Forwards : Lightning Spear; Chosen Undead summons a bolt of lighting and throws it (exactly as the name implies) like a spear (24%, medium knockback; uses ½ your Stamina). It can be subtly aimed in the direction the control stick is tilted.
B + Up : Homeward Bone; Chosen Undead is surrounded by mist below him, and he is instantly warped back to the stage with no Stamina lost. However, not only is the exact spot mostly random, but he can be interrupted during the slow startup.
B + Down : Estus Flask; Chosen Undead takes one drink of an Estus Flask, which heals 55% damage. However, there are only 5 uses, so don’t get greedy.
Final Smash: Link the Flame; Chosen Undead casts Soul Stream, a beam that goes a long distance (12%). Any fighters hit are taken into a cutscene where the Chosen Undead lights the last bonfire and surrounds the area with fire (56%, devastating knockback)
Gimmick: Stamina Gauge; Chosen Undead has a Stamina Gauge above his HUD (along with 5 Estus Flask uses next to the Gauge on the left). Each attack he does (even quick ones) use up Stamina. It refills automatically after each move, but the amount depends on the move itself.

His stamina refills the moment it drops to zero; he's just limited to weaker attacks.
That, and that the shield should be fundamentally different than others. In my mind, Chosen Undead wouldn't have a traditional Shield (He can move while shielding. Rolling would essentially be essentially his Dash while moving with the shield up would be his walk), with his Parry-Riposte combo no doubt being a Shield-B in my eyes.
I'm assuming this is five per match and not per stock? Being able to heal a total of 275% per stock would seem a bit much.
Per stock. They're meant to be last-resort options, and you'll be left wide open while you're trying to enjoy some Sunny D. Any Dark Souls fan can tell you to only use it when youu're safe to.
I don't think you realize how much 55% percent is if you think it's even remotely ok to have it be 5 uses per stock, especially when compared to every other healing move in the game
Alright, then; I've nerfed it to 40% and 3 uses per stock.
It would have to be framed like a Fire Emblem Awakening rerelease on Switch at first, in my mind. For me, we'd see Chrom, Lucina, and Robin making a trek through a large castle, later revealed to be Anor Londo, where they get into an uphill battle with one of these:
The most wellknown are Ornstein and Smough alongside Artorias from what I can tell.
I wouldn't be surprised if he did. It'd honestly be really cool if there were some taunt animations that loosely make Chosen Undead resemble Guts in some capacity.
An alt costume of Solaire would practically be a given since his armor set is equippable. As an Echo, I'm not sure. In my eyes, Solaire would be an alt because the only magic he ever uses is Sunlight Spear, and Chosen Undead would have to be a blend of swordplay and magic in my eyes.
I think it would have to consist of bosses if we're going to make a Spirit Board. So perhaps Ornstein & Smough, Great Grey Wolf Sif, Slave Knight Gael, the Bell Gargoyles, Chaos Witch Quelaag, and Lord Gwyn, among others.
Honestly, that honor would have to go to the Moonlight Greatsword, a weapon that has appeared in practically every FromSoft game except for Sekiro (Well, sort of). Let's see George R. R. Martin write a backstory for that in Elden Ring.
Maybe Solaire going around and chucking Lightning Spears?
In my mind, Artorias could make a good Assist. He'd swing his sword around while flinging abyssal sludge everywhere, and sort of "detonate" it when using abyssal magic.
On the other hand, Ultimate's stages haven't been very crazy; thus, StarCraft's minimalistic map designs might not be much of a blocking factor.
Just from Starcraft 1 alone, the three races all have three in-game themes. And then you have things like "Radio Free Zerg"
Adding on to what Guynamednelson said, there's also StarCraft II, which has a lot of bangers by themselves. Like these:

Honestly, it could be a balance between various Terran, Zerg, and Protoss figureheads: Artanis, Dehaka, Alarak, Queen Zagara, Jim Raynor, Tychus Findlay, and Gabriel Tosh amongst others.
