Ok guys, so we know this isn't very likely at all. It's more like downright improbable right now. Sony most likely will be the most difficult company to get anything from, and that's assuming Nintendo would even bother to go to them for a character. With all that said, there are quite a few characters I'd like to see from Sony get into Smash and should this happen one day it would be by far the biggest deal in the history of the series, and as long as we support and speculate responsibly talking about the characters we love and want in Smash can never be a bad thing.
I think that if any Sony reps ever joined the series that Nathan Drake and Kratos would be the most likely at this moment in time. Nathan Drake feels like the Sony mascot and comes from one of the more iconic franchises they've produced. The only thing working against him is that it's possible that he or the Uncharted franchise as a whole have been retired, which is why I think Kratos would be another big contender assuming this scenario would ever happen. God of War just had a new game in the series that sold over 10 million copies. If Drake and Uncharted are truly done and Sony would want to go with a character who is more fresh on gamers minds Kratos could be the play
As a finally note, I just want to say that just because something is unlikely doesn't mean that it's impossible. During Smash Ultimate's life cycle we've already seen multiple characters who seemed impossible become possible. Ridley was no longer too big. King K Rool was no longer too irrelevant. Banjo was snatched up because Nintendo and Microsoft worked together. Imagine how wild that sounds back in the days of Smash 4. I'm not saying any of this to try and create false hope, because that would be a crappy thing to do, but we're seeing rules or characters that seemingly had no chance of ever becoming realistic all of a sudden happen. Now, obviously the issues between Sony and Nintendo run deep and cause a lot more issues than just size or relevance and as far as I know there is a long, long ways to go before something like this would ever happen. I also personally believe that with entertainment and most things in general, if there is money to be made then the door is always open. Even if the door is only open to the smallest degree possible because your brother just pushed it and it kinda just got it caught on the frame, that's still not a completely closed door. Even if that's where the door is at, I don't see a problem with someday hoping that door opens again. A lot of Sony games, especially Uncharted, helped me get through some really awful times in my life and made things suck less for just a few hours, and so therefore I will always hold out a little tiny scrap of hope that someday something like this will happen. Overall, this feels like the biggest barrier to break by a large margin for all sides, but if it ever would the pay off would be unimaginable for all involved, us included.
Time to turn it over to you guys. Who else would you guys like to see come to Smash from Sony?
