If the Smash Bros roster was like KoF

[Champion of Hyrule]

I thought it’d be fun to speculate on what the roster would be like for a hypothetical smash game with the same type of roster that the King of Fighters series has.

For those of you who don’t know, this means there will be a bunch of teams of 3 and there has to be a canonical reason for the team to have formed. So for example in KoF, Team Fatal Fury is made up of three fighters from the fatal fury games. Each character can be selected independently so you can select people from multiple teams (KoF is a 3 vs 3 fighter).

Anyways, what are your ideas for the roster? These are mine:

[Champion of Hyrule]

Byleth is not a lord, though.

I know they’re not technically a lord but they fits the whole team’s whole theme/aesthetic. I’ll just say Marth formed the team before he picked Byleth for it lol

[Champion of Hyrule]

Decided to make a DLC pass for my earlier post. There will be a couple third parties:

Spoiler

Team Speed Demon:
1. Mach Rider
2. Daisy
3. Sonic (I was planning on putting an F-Zero character on this team but I just like this dynamic better. Daisy uses her mario kart design with the bike suit btw.)

Team Rivals:
1. Octoling
2. Captain Syrup
3. Clefairy (yes we’re portraying clefairy as vengeful towards pikachu referencing how clefairy was almost the main character. It’s hilarious.)

Team Brawlers:
1. Glass Joe
2. Sukapon
3. Max Brass

Team Twilight:
1. Midna & Wolf Link
2. Skull Kid
3. Ryu (with some hints of evil ryu in his moves)
