Could they Work In Smash?

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

I don't think so. It would be likely as AT.

Mobi Chan (Hyper dyne side arms - Capcom)

 

[Torgo the Bear]

It could totally work as a funny little mishmash of references, but I’d personally have it as an assist or just a spirit.

Kalypso (Donkey Kong Barrel Blast)

 

[GolisoPower]

At most I'd consider her a Spirit. Anything else, not really sure.

Dirk the Daring (Dragon's Lair)

 

[Northsouthmap]

It could work. He could use his sword.

Yoshi Egg as an item

 

[Janx_uwu]

I'd say no - you'd have to use it's 8 or 16 bit sprites, otherwise it's going to get confused with Yoshi's shield, Side B or Up B.

Mercedes AMG-One (Forza)

 

[GolisoPower]

Probably not, I dunno how expensive it would be to pay for the rights to use car brands, but I'd imagine it'd be quite expensive. I don't know if the same could be said for the Mercedes cars in Mario Kart 8.

Berserker (Dungeon Fighter Online)

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

Sure, his playstyle would say that he would be like a berserker.

Miner Willy (Manic Miner)

 

[Northsouthmap]

He could work. He could use the enemies.

Klaptrap (Donkey Kong)

 

[ZagarTulip]

Yes

Mei (Overwatch)

 

[Janx_uwu]

Yes (purely for the fact that we still don't have a mainly ice-focused character)

Zenyatta (Overwatch)

 

[Northsouthmap]

He could work. He could use his Orbs of Destruction.

Destiny Islands (Kingdom Hearts) as a stage

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

Yeah sure. That would be like if Tortimer's island had a second island that floats next to it.

Digger (Microcomputer game character) as assist trophy.

 

[Northsouthmap]

It could work. It could fire its weapon.

Dr. Eggman as a boss

 

[GolisoPower]

Would certainly work. The wide variety of Badniks could make it a lot more powerful and a very unique boss to fight.

Akuma as a semi-clone of Ryu. Not an Echo like Ken.

 

[Northsouthmap]

He could work. He could hit harder and move faster.

Rabbid Mario as a skin for Mario

 

[Torgo the Bear]

It could work but it shouldn’t happen. Reducing the Rabbids to skins of characters they’re based on feels wrong to me, cause there’s just so much personality in them that should really be given it’s own moveset to shine in (for better or for worse, however you see the Rabbids).

Mappy

 

[Janx_uwu]

Yeah, as long as you take a similar moveset design approach as with Pac-Man - maybe with a slightly heavier emphasis on general Namco arcade elements.

Dr. Light (Mega Man)

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

I don't know, but probably no unless we could give his inventions for his arsenal in game.

Dart Monkey (Bloons)

 

[Deleted member]

Sure. You could se up bloons and then pop them. Potential for some really fun combos

Big the Cat

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

If he could use his fishing rod and his pet Froggy, then sure. Otherwise he's an assist trophy.

Sabreman (Rare game)

 

[Deleted member]

It's definitely doable. Have a moveset that involves him being chased by animals and getting his opponents caught in the stampede

Francis York Morgan (Deadly Premonition)

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

Sure, he could use his weapons during the battle.

Frogger (Konami)

 

[Northsouthmap]

He could work. He could use his tongue.

Flying Man as a skin for Ness

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

If it's Ness's recolor alt then sure. If it's model change, then no.

Geralt of Rivia (The Witcher)

 

[Jotari]

I haven't played the Witcher and no little about it, but, guy with a sword that uses magic, definitely would functionally work. And I kind of want to see it just to be smug about all those characters saying "Smash Bros. characters must originate in a video game!" Because there are no rules for inclusions.

An Advance Wars character. Someone said Andy earlier on the thread but was only met with a "Sure, yeah". If you think an Advance Wars character could work, please tell me how they could function to represent their game (and if possible, who you'd pick).

 

[Torgo the Bear]

And I kind of want to see it just to be smug about all those characters saying "Smash Bros. characters must originate in a video game!" Because there are no rules for inclusions.

I don’t wanna start an argument here but this is like, pretty much the only rule Sakurai ever mentioned. But idk maybe that would change in a Smash not ran by him…? But we’re getting off track.

An Advance Wars character is absolutely possible. I would personally love to see one of them piloting a miniature tank in battle. And let’s not forget that Sami was fully planned to be introduced in Project M before it’s development shut down, so obviously there have been moveset plans for a character from this series that would’ve worked.

Stunfisk

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

As a fighter, it would be unlikely but as a pokeball pokemon then sure.

Miraidon (Pokemon)

 

[Northsouthmap]

It couldn't work. It has no offensive abilities.

Doomfist as an echo fighter of Little Mac

 

[MasterCheef]

yes.

Ahri = playable

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

Sure.

Lickitung

 

[Torgo the Bear]

Absolutely, and I think it would be funny. Although there would likely be a lot of kinda samey tongue attacks...

A literal GameCube

 

[FazDude]

Yes - The controller looks like it'd make for a good pitchfork.

The Subway sandwich I had for dinner today.

 

[Torgo the Bear]

No because it didn't originate in a video game

A Subway sandwich could function as a lightweight character that attacks by using its ingredients as weapons. Unfortunately however, due to the fact that I do not know which ingredients were featured on the specific Subway sandwich you had for dinner today (which is, as the prompt clearly declared, exactly which specific sandwich we are judging the potential of here) I cannot actually provide any examples of what the attacks may be.

One of the more complex MultiVersus characters being backported as a Brawl mod

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

I mean sure.

Bub and Bob (Bubble Bobble)

 

[ZagarTulip]

Yeah, for sure

Pete (Harvest Moon / Story of Seasons)

 

[Jotari]

I don’t wanna start an argument here but this is like, pretty much the only rule Sakurai ever mentioned. But idk maybe that would change in a Smash not ran by him…? But we’re getting off track.

I think I might make a thread later about how it's actually been debunked already and the origin of various Smash characters.

Yeah, for sure

Pete (Harvest Moon / Story of Seasons)

Well he has something to swing, so he's good.

Snake from the popular late 90s mobile game Snake.

 

[Torgo the Bear]

I think I might make a thread later about how it's actually been debunked already and the origin of various Smash characters.

Of course there’s a few special cases like ROB or some Pokémon having made anime appearances first but it’s still characters intended for games. We’re never gonna get someone like Shrek or Iron Man as long as Sakurai runs it (which he probably won’t be in the next game anyway)

anyways

Snake would be fun but I’m not sure what it could do for a moveset. It would be a good assist and I’d love it as a stage.

Wii Balance Board

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

If it could use Nintendo peripherals, then sure. If it doesn't, then it would be very unlikely to make moveset out of it.

Roxas as Sora's echo fighter.

 

[Northsouthmap]

He could work. He could be a heavier version of Sora.

Octostomp (Splatoon) as a boss

 

[Deleted member]

Sure could. Feels like an easy one to translate. A lot of dodging


CATS (Zero Wing)
