Thank you so much!!!! I apparently put the Master Chief's latest nom gains into Master Hand by mistake...
He's been given his due and, moreover, is now in the top 7 by exact 1 nom! Every nom counts, folks.

The only Valve universe where there's a definitive connection to Half-Life, as far as I know, is Portal.
Counter-Strike and Left 4 Dead might be connected too, as some of the maps in CSGO are edits of L4D ones and CS 1.6 featured Black Mesa logos in maps and Half-Life scientists as hostages. Team Fortress Classic is in a weird spot, as while the TF2 comics claim it's set in TF2's universe 30 years before 2, the in-game assets are taken from Half-Life including Black Mesa logos and one map being ripped directly from HL.
They... could maybe? I guess? I don't think it'd be needed by any means, as Half Life is a very rich series for an IP infamous for not having its third mainline installment. They could still toss in some spirits or music tracks and justify it in a SNK-y way, but SNK was also kind of a unique case as Terry's home series has somewhat fallen to the wayside in favour of games with multiple SNK franchises colliding. So, I don't know!
The possibility is definitely there. I could see Gordon as an Orange Box themed challenger pack, which would mean it'd include content from Portal and Team Fortress 2.
In the games, the Gravity Gun is a versatile tool that can grab and punt solid objects. That includes grenades, rockets and certain projectiles. I could see it work the same way in Smash, with Gordon able to grab thrown explosives and punt them back.
The Black Mesa Security Guard outfit also seems like a given. As does a Headcrab hat. And I almost wanna jokingly suggest Black Mesa Scientist mii costumes with HL1-era scientist heads straight outta the original Half-Life.
A lot of developers say yes to Smash invitations. If they can't convince Nintendo, they are out of luck.
Actually, we have a great candidate for an Up Special:
half-life.fandom.com
Long Jump Module is also a viable candidate. When you go to Xen in the original Half-Life, you receive the Long Jump Module for improved mobility. In gameplay terms, it gives you long distance jumps. For Smash purposes, it could be reworked to give you an upward long distance jump if needed. On that topic, the developers of Black Mesa reworked Long Jump Module by giving you three charges for some wild long jumping, and it's really cool. I could easily see it working that way in Smash too.Actually, we have a great candidate for an Up Special:
Barnacle Grapple
The Barnacle Grapple, also known as Specimen 1176, is a detached Barnacle which can be used as both a weapon and a grappling hook. Its tongue can be shot out to latch onto organic objects, such as enemies. The Barnacle Grapple is most useful for latching onto Spore Launcher spores attached to...
The void where that one guy talks to you. Can't remember his name. G something?
G-Man?
I think Black Mesa is probably the most important location in the Half-Life mythos, but City 17 is a fairly close second and is equally iconic.
G-Man.
Is he the one with that "rise and shine" bit? Then yeah.
Additionally, Gordon could push himself back from firing his Gauss Rifle.
It's unlikely, but it's probably not impossible. I could see Sakurai taking a few seconds to mention Black Mesa in a character showcase.
Gordon Freeman, A physicist, Was tasked with an important experiment, This experiment lead to a Resonance cascade. This event lead to a bunch of hostile aliens invading the earth, Gordon then goes through the facility he was in, Black Mesa, Taking on the Aliens and the Government that has come to silence them, The game ends with Gordon taking out the source of the Invasion, The Nihilanth. After the Nihilanth's defeat Gordon was approached by a mysterious figure that has been stalking him the whole game, The G-Man, who then locks Gordon up until Half-Life 2.
Well, Master Chief is currently up to be locked into the schedule, but only because of the noms you put in, so I don't think you want to switch them haha.
I can imagine a Gargantua spirit battle represented by Bowser. Stamina battle, and the enemy has high stamina.
I made one a while ago

Gordon actually does as a matter of fact show up in the scientist labcoat. It happens in the expansion Blue Shift when Barney (the player character of Blue Shift) gets off the train in the beginning of the game. Gordon has a fully modelled cameo there. On the topic of alternate costumes, a little known fact is that Gordon used to have a ponytail in Half-Life that he apparently cut in-between Half-Life 1 and Half-Life 2 (What a sellout). If Gordon had two different costumes representing his HEV suit in the original and Half-Life 2 respectively, I'd fully expect his OG costume to have the ponytail.
I respect a man who can rock a ponytail

for the noms list
Ah, sorry about that. I was in a similar situation near the end of May, when my mom and I were reaching our last hotel stop before we got to our apartment in New Orleans. We were stuck in rainy traffic for about two hours before we got back on the road.
