Does anyone have any ideas for a moveset they would like to share? I know Aloy has a ton of really interesting weapons that could lend itself well to a Smash moveset but I haven’t really sat down to flesh out any specifics for Aloy.
I haven't made a full moveset and probably won't have time to today, but I imagine she'd be a zoner with specials that set up various traps (tripwire downspecial?), neutrals that use her bow, and aerials/smash attacks using her spear for back-up-plan "Please get away from me" attacks.

And, yes, Horizon is a Sony IP. Aloy is not coming to Smash pragmatically lol.

So, big question: what would the music catalogue be like? I mean, I'm sure the soundtrack's boppin' to some degree, but I'm just curious about which songs they could include from Horizon: Zero Dawn.

I don’t remember very many songs but I always really liked Aloy’s theme:

A lot of Horizon Zero Dawn's score is atmospheric, which is good, but perhaps not the best for this type of game. Honestly, even the more intense songs still tend to have slower builds then most gaming scores, so they would probably need a lot of remixes for a game like this...

Just jumping in to say that I would love to have Aloy, but I know that Playstation exists as a vehement "F**K YOU!!!!!!!!!!!" to Nintendo for what happened in the 90's.

Probably hasn't changed since either.

Ok but this thread isn't about discussing liklihood but rather "What if they were in Smash?" to help familiarize people with more characters in general and who knows, maybe they'll find a new favourite

I said I would love to have her in though. I know her likelihood is a different story but I would love to have her

How would Spirits work for a Horizon Spirit Board? How many would be enemies in-game and how many would be NPCs you can interact with? Just being a bit curious.

Interesting question! I feel like I'd go with humans personally, but the robo-dinos are what the game is famous for, so it's hard to definitively say... It'd probably be easier to come up with a variety of mechanically-unique and interesting spirit battles for robots with defined fighting styles too...

It's Klonoa's turn??

We must celebrate!


Right below Nightmare and Agumon, Klonoa is my third most wanted Bamco character. I remember playing a good amount of Klonoa 2 as a little kid and while I wasn't very good at it I got charmed by the little cutie and the personality of the game.

Now, I've played some of the Wiimake and I really enjoy it. It makes me feel like a kid again and the level design is very inspired and creative. The mechanic of Klonoa grabbing enemies and throwing them underneath him to gain extra height would be funny to see in Smash. I think his moveset would be really unique and fun and he fits right in with the art style and wackiness of Smash perfectly.

I'm really hoping that we'll finally hear something about Klonoa: Encore soonish as it would be a great opportunity to bring him back and introduce him to a console (Switch) that he will be welcomed with open arms.

I've only known much about Klonoa from Caddicarus's videos. But I have run into some people rallying for support for Klonoa in Smash a few times, and the game itself looks really fun, if I'm being honest. He oddly looks like he wouldn't be out of place in a Sonic game, if I'm being honest.

So what would a potential Klonoa stage be and how would it work? From what I know from watching Caddy's vids, I imagine it being a scrolling/traveling stage, like 3D Land, where the camera pans as you fight and then travels to a different part of the level. Anyone else think that makes sense?

I’ve never played a Klonoa game but I always thought he had a fun design.

What are some other characters from his games that could work for spirits?

Admittedly, I'm not the best with Spirits, but going by the Wiki's front page, I'd say Lolo, Guntz, Ghadius, Huepow, and the King of Sorrow are good picks. Maybe throw in Joka as well, he's a pretty notable villain.

Any good songs from Klonoa that you would love to get in Smash? I’m not really familiar with any music from his series.

Whoops, I must have been in the land of dreams, as I am late on this list too...

Klonoa does take place in a dream world, right?

Short answer: yes. Long answer: it's complicated...

Anyways, noms go to Tsubasa Oribe.
