I still kinda wish there was a Boss Rush mode and, like with more recent Kirby Games, you could play it on different difficulties, and even have EX versions of the bosses.
They're saving him for WoL DLC, when he absorbs Galeem and Dharkon's cores, and becomes Tabuu Ultimate!
I'm honestly surprised they didn't bring back the boss rush mode from Brawl. Especially since both these games have 10 different bosses.
I'd say nuts to that, there's plenty of other Metroid bosses. But...Ganondorf and Bowser DID also get to be bosses after a fashion.
Yep, those are my two choices. I actually thought Balder might have been in, haha. Have these two as bosses her and then Hades could be bought in as a playable character in a future game, like Porky with this one.
Clearly plot is not Sakurai's strong suite.
That sounds pretty cool, but I'd be sooner to just let Tabuu stay and shine in his own game. The whole "old villain coming back only to be a pushover compared to the new guy" trope is a little overused, I think.
Master Core kinda sucks as a boss though. And given that he's, like, 3 boss fights in one, that's 3 other entire bossfights you don't get to have because you put him in instead. I'd rather have the 3 bosses from other games instead.
SSBU is a month old. Please be careful with spoilers by using a spoiler tag in the future.

Sorry, I don't actually know how to do spoiler texts.
I still think it's pointless to make a character that could totally be a playable fighter as a boss. Bosses are just as much work as a character, so if you're going to make a character that's already playble sized a boss, you might as well just make them a character.
Was talking about Safer Sephiroth.
Then absolutely. In fact, this should have been revealed to be Galeem's true identity.
That's not really the point. Ganondorf and Ridley have never been playable in their own games either. The point is, if you go to all the trouble to create a moveset for a character that's no bigger than Ryu, then there's no reason not to just make that a playble character instead of a boss.
What, you don’t want to hear Mike Pollock telling you to get a load of this in glorious HD?
But then he’ll do that stupid self destruct attack at the end that takes out a platform ;-;
“Argh! He’s not gonna get away with this!”
But it’s based off Ryu. It’s not like it’s a brand new moveset, granted a few changes. It’s like bowser to Giga Bowser. But I get what you’re saying.
I'd actually prefer Eggman to be in the Egg Viper, or really any of his major (i.e. final boss) contraptions where you can actually see him in the cockpit.
Honestly with Ultra Necrozma being tied to light, he could have been a good boss for Galeem. I'm coming up with more than two bosses here now though.
My problem with the Death Egg Robot (both the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 version, its Sonic Generations iteration, or the contraption of the same name in Sonic Forces) is that you can't actually see Eggman in there. In spite of my love for Sonic Heroes, the Egg Emperor has the same issue. Same goes for the Kyodai Egg Robo from Sonic & Knuckles (yes, it's a different machine from the one in StH2), the final boss of Sonic Advance 2 (I don't know what that is named), the Egg King from Sonic Rush, and the Egg Wizard from Sonic Rush Adventure (though it's possible that the only reason we don't see Eggman in there is the graphical limitations of the original DS). If we're going to have a boss fight with Eggman in Smash, I’d rather have him using a machine where we can see him doing stuff like operating the controls, yelling taunts and insults at his opponent (bonus points if he has special lines for fighting Sonic), boasting about how powerful and dangerous his machine is while he's attacking, panicking a bit when his opponent gets close, expressing frustration and rage when he gets hit, laughing and gloating when he scores a hit, et cetera. Some of his contraptions that I feel would be suitable for a boss battle include the Big Arm from Sonic the Hedgehog 3, the Psyco Egg from Sonic CD (yes, the misspelling is intentional), the Egg Viper from Sonic Adventure, the Egg Dealer from Shadow the Hedgehog, the Egg Wyvern from Sonic the Hedgehog 2006, the Egg Dragoon from Sonic Unleashed (though it is admittedly tough to see Eggman operating it), and the Nega-Wisp Armor from Sonic Colors.
He can still taunt even if not visible so he still can have most of that. Besides, not being visible or at least being enclosed might show he's getting better at designing his mechs.
A good way to solve the issue is just to have a two phase battle. The first phase should be the super easy Egg Man flies in the egg carrier and swings the ball around. Once defeated, he brings out the Death Egg Robot , thus making Eggman clearly visible and fun to fight.
