Guest characters in fighting games other than Smash

[Perkilator]

What guest characters would you like to see in fighting games other than Smash? For example, Tifa in Tekken 8 is currently the talk of the town and for good reason: she'd be a perfect fit for a game like Tekken.

Been playing Tekken 8 for past couple hours and its so much fun.

I'm once again asking for Tifa to be in this game. She is literally the perfect collab character. pic.twitter.com/QYg2GfcxZx

Guts from Berserk for SoulCalibur would be cool although they might have to do quite a bit to differentiate him from Siegfried

also I’ve been saying this for a while but Heisenberg for mortal kombat. Since Shaggy was added to Multiversus add the most requested Multiversus character to mortal kombat.

If there were another Nintendo console port of a SoulCalibur entry, I could see someone from the Fire Emblem franchise making it in as a possible guest character.

A Marvel Comics character in Mortal Kombat could be awesome,i saw a video of Wolverine in Mortal Kombat,that sounds good and it can have any other options as Deadpool, Punisher, Venom and Carnage

I've always thought that it'd be awesome to see Fulgore (from Killer Instinct) in Mortal Kombat, maybe even with a few unique mechanics from the KI series to give him a unique feel compared to anyone else in the roster. Though, I've always been a fan of fighting game characters crossing over into other fighting games.

That aside, the (half-joking) suggestion Harada made back in the Tekken 7 days of adding Colonel Sanders is something I'd absolutely be up for. Unironically, I think Colonel Sanders is one of the few guest fighters they could pick that'd actually be popular worldwide, and it's not like there isn't potential for him. Like pouring 11 herbs and spices into his opponents' eyes.

i want to see Ballz 3d characters in brawlhalla
i am surprised it didnt happen yet Ubisoft bought PF Magic and now they own Ballz 3d its a fighting game series that would be a perfect fit for Brawlhalla alongside rayman and assassian creed

Speaking of guest characters in the SoulCalibur franchise and funnily enough, Final Fantasy VII's Cloud Strife was supposedly meant to be a PS2 exclusive guest character for SoulCalibur II. However the deal fell through in the end which meant that Tekken's Heihachi Mishima ended up being the guest character instead.

Cloud Strife was almost the PS2 guest character for Soulcalibur II

Since Street Fighter 6 had introduced Fatal Fury's Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui with Ken Masters and Chun-Li both headed to Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, I wonder if both Capcom and SNK will still consider adding further guest characters to their games?

I know Mario Kart isn't a fighting game, but I've been meaning to say this for a while about it: any future Nintendo guest characters should be just that: guests.

 

[dezeray112]

Well since Street Fighter 6 did introduce Fatal Fury's Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui as guest characters, here are my possible guest character ideas:

Tekken: Jin Kazama and between King or Nina Williams.
Virtua Fighter: Akira Yuki and Sarah Bryant.
Dead or Alive: Jann Lee and Tina Armstrong.
Darkstalkers: Morrigan Aensland

Marvel: Spider-Man and Wolverine.

Honestly, with how little BN wants to do with the Soul Calibur IP, I kinda want a Nintendo exclusive game where a third or so of the cast are Nintendo characters like Link, Pit, Marth, etc. Maybe even half and half like a versus game.

If cannibalizing sales is the concern, this separates the audiences entirely. Tekken stays as is and SC can better coexist with a hopeful boost from new Nintendo players.

 

[Wonder Smash]

There's been some I wanted to see such as:

Cloud in Soul Calibur
Marth in Soul Calibur
Ken "Godhand" Mishima in Tekken
Jago in Mortal Kombat
Shadow Yamoto in Mortal Kombat
Lion-O in Injustice
