ALEXEI STUKOV:
Who Is He?:
Alexei Stukov was an admiral and second-in-command for the UED Expeditionary Fleet of the StarCraft Universe who has now become an infested human who leads the Zerg armies. Up to his death and reanimation, Stukov had it really hard, even being betrayed by his own armies and killed.
Why Him?:
Believe it or not, StarCraft has a port for the Nintendo 64 and said franchise is one of the most popular RTS games out there. Now I know what you’re thinking: “If any StarCraft characters were to make it in, why not someone like Tychus or Kerrigan?” Well here’s the thing: Stukov was the main focus of an N64-exclusive campaign, and he’s also just as popular as those two from what I could find. Also, Smash needs more villains and Stukov fits that category just fine!
What would make him unique?:
As a human infested by Zerg, he’d be super unique! He could have a play style that indirectly makes him stronger by weakening his opponents with pathogens thanks to his alien flesh. His giant arm can also be great for a grapple game as well.
What does he have going against him?:
Even if we live in a world where Western 3rd parties like Crash and Doom Slayer are possible for Smash, Stukov is still quite a stretch, and I’m not talking about one of his Ultimates from Heroes of the Storm. Blizzard hasn’t released a Nintendo game since StarCraft 64, and even then said game was released a long time ago. Also, with rumors of a Diablo III port for the Switch as well as the popular opinion of Overwatch for Switch, there seem to be better options out there.
I know, this is just too ridiculous for a 3rd party choice, but this is still worth a shot!
