Yep, you didn't use the right term.Here is a comparison between "elegy of emptiness" and "missingno" and "missingno" wins in popularity by a landslide. This suggests to me that Missingno. has made a much larger impact. Though I am not familiar with the Elegy of Emptiness statue, so maybe I ought to have used another term.
Measuring it is utterly prone to myopia and bias, not to mention the growing list of things that are too popularly demanded to ignore but still aren't in.I think fan culture is the best metric. It is fans who would care about these characters. The characters that are iconic are IMO the best characters to put into the games.
a card with a moustache and a hat?! sign me upOkay, a weirder concept that I don't have a full moveset for (and hopefully won't be as controversial as MissingNo... sorry about that!);
Who is this dashing fellow?, you may be wondering to yourself. Well, it's not exactly a character. It's the icon from Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics' President, and that's where I'd take his name from - either President, or Clubhouse President.
Generally speaking, he'd be a character on the smaller and lighter side, who I can imagine animating not dissimilarly to the Card Soldiers in Alice in Wonderland in terms of being able to walk around rather than just hopping - but most of his attacks would instead use all kinds of Clubhouse Games (get it?).
One that springs to mind is an up special where he rides on a chess piece - specifically, a white knight as seen on the icon for chess in Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics - in one of eight selectable directions. You could control the direction he moves in (which would work just like the knight in chess) but by default it's a rapid movement upward, then a slightly less distant one forward.
Obviously there's tons of other attacks you could go with, too - whether it be his jab using the boxing gloves from Toy Boxing, perhaps having a Toy Tank or a Slot Car for his dash attack, dropping a piano for his down air, or even sillier things like tipping dominoes or tossing a dice projectile that deals more damage based on what number it rolls. He'd be a ton of fun!
That aside, Clubhouse Games is by this point a multi-game series - and Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics is apparently the 29th best-selling game on the Switch (for context, that's more than games like Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Kirby Star Allies!) This'd be weird but cool. Idk. He's neat
By that logic, Mario is a much better character to represent creepypasta than Elegy of Emptiness statue is.
It seems you mixed up the line colors.By that logic, Mario is a much better character to represent creepypasta than Elegy of Emptiness statue is.
IMO featuring in a relatively obscure creepypasta like Ben Drowned does not make something an icon as much as being arguably the most famous glitch character in video game history does.
Indeed, looks like the story is famous.It seems you mixed up the line colors.
I've never really gravitated towards the idea of 9-Volt because I don't like compositing together retro games into a singular entity, I'd rather they stand on their own, or at least with similar games like Duck Hunt, even if they only have 6 minutes worth of content - however, I've said already how cool a musician moveset would be, and it just so happens Volt has two rapping friends. Though my "rapper" pick of choice will always remain the paper PS puppy.9-Volt.... and most of the wario ware cast.

Man, the Owl is definitely a choice! If I may ask, would it use elements from the books themselves to defend itself?I've always felt the little owl from 100 Classic Books would be a cool Smash pick, if anyone else had that cartridge. I don't think he should be slamming books on people or anything, just a simple bird feather moveset, Brawl Falco without the guns. Kururin or many Pokemon could fit this role well as well, but I like the owl because of the simplicity.
If we're talking size changing gimmicks...One character from the Mario universe I've been a bit interested in the prospect of seeing in Smash lately is the Trouble Bug from Donkey Kong. I think a sentient fireball is really easy to imagine fighting, right? Could be difficult to telegraph what is a hitbox and what isn't, but I'm sure you could figure something out. Perhaps you could have some kind of size-altering gimmick. At the very least, I'd love to see Trouble Bug playable in Mario sports games.
Ngl, I personally always saw the Ice Hockey trio working similar to the Ice Climbers, but with a trio...If we're talking size changing gimmicks...
I always wanted an NES Ice Hockey player that can change between Big, Medium, and Skinny... though I don't know if they would fit this thread because they definitely fight in that game.
OP said First Party (Nintendo), but genius pick.I could probably think of one.
A DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) Character - Possibly Afro/Disco or Boldo.
Stevenson should’ve just been part of Duck Hunt’s moveset, it was a weird ass exclusionHow about Mike Jones (StarTropics) and Mr. Stevenson (Gumshoe)?
Not a bad idea actually.I think Waluigi honestly falls into this category. Popular as he might be, he only hails from spin off games. Where characters gain abilities sometimes out of the blue without any good canon source to back it all up. So I think Waluigi deserves a mention here.
I wouldn't mind if Giant DK just reused his Smash 64 moveset. I think that set alone has enough differences to push him into semiclone territory.Metal Mario maybe isn't a popular pick, but at least one in the Smash fandom conciousness - however, I think his partners-in-crime are very overlooked
Imagine a semi-clone Giant Donkey Kong moveset with more stomp and otherwise downwards attacks, that'd be cool, right? I've loved the idea of controlling more than 3/4 characters at once in a pile for a while, and I could imagine Yoshi Team maybe having Pikmin-like summon attacks that come in from the blast zone.
Make the dash attack equivalent to Rest and then we're talking.I wouldn't mind if Giant DK just reused his Smash 64 moveset. I think that set alone has enough differences to push him into semiclone territory.
