Honestly I'd rather have Daphne than Scooby-Doo himself at this point. You talked in your post about how the gang has evolved through the year and I think that Daphne had by far the best evolution. She started has the superficial beauty who was a bit dumb and to some extent useless, but she evolve in later shows and movie to become more intelligent and even stronger so she can become more independant. Fred has the complete opposite evolution: he started has the leader but he became less and less intelligent for some reason. Well I wouldn't mind Scooby Doo being in the game but I always felt that he shine more because of his relation with Shaggy and he rarely do a lot of things alone aside being a comic relief character.Just chiming in on the earlier discussion. Daphne would've been dope, and I hope she's playable one day. My most wanted Scooby-Doo characters are the Hex Girls (and Vincent Van Ghoul is a close second), but Daphne is my fav Mystery Inc. member by far
Something that makes The Gang such compelling characters is that although they have catchphrases and signature looks, they're multi-faceted, have evolved over the years, and share interchangeable character traits to varying degrees because they're a tight-knit group of meddling youngsters. Simply put, they have alot in common. For instance, Daphne is a big eater like Shaggy, and Scooby is a capable leader like Fred. But let's focus on Daphne specifically because even back when she was most danger-prone, she had a lot more going on than damsel in distress (even though throughout most of her existence, she's shown to get herself out of trouble as easily as she gets into it)
As a free-to-play fighting game, it's safe to say that cosmetics are used as rewards to entice players to play and spend money. Real talk, alt costumes are a major part of the game. And it just so happens that Daphne is a fashionista, and out of everyone in her crew, she has the most outfits by a longshot. In the live action movies alone, she had well over a dozen costume changes, but even ignoring this, she's had hundreds of animated costumes and a lot of them slap like:

A moveset focusing on her fashion-loving aspect would be awesome in and of itself and she's even assembled traps and impromptu gadgets from random items in her purse (e.g. she made a grappling hook out of dental floss and ripped door hinges off with an eyelash curler). But Daphne Blake is also an intrepid reporter, the most capable fighter on her team, wealthy, and good at pretty much everything she sets her mind to (including but not limited to dancing, singing, and surfing). She's basically like Barbie meets MacGyver meets Lara Croft meets April O'Neal, all rolled up in a Scooby-Doo character, who are quirky detectives with their own signature brand of heart and humor. Her moveset potential is ridiculous, with decades of material to work with like the rest of her squad, but she also has a boatload of solid alternate costumes to choose from because that's always been her thing
She also made a engine fueler for the mystery machine using a water bottle and a bobby pin(i don't remember the other material she used).Just chiming in on the earlier discussion.

I feel like it's fine for him to be in here given that he's the title character of his own series. Also, part of me would like to see this make it in as a skin:
This posts speaks to me, right here. Plenty of characters can possibly get a decent amount of skins if one digs deep enough, but Daphne in particular has a rich history to pull from, the likes of which are only rivalled by DC Comics and some Looney Tunes characters.Just chiming in on the earlier discussion.

At the very least it would make things a bit less confusing when talking about him and not Fred Flintstone.
is that why you keep bringing it up? hoping that if you keep talking about it, it will come back.
I've been advocating for a 6teen revival for a while now. Helps that big YTbers like Jordan Fringe are beginning to discuss it in more detail
It's hard to say. So far none of the inclusions have veered in that direction, so it's too early to tell.
i dunno. Doesn’t seem like my kind of thing
Totally fair, I mean I have MOUNTAINS of bias towards this show. It's fine if it's not up EVERYONE'S alley
Best bet would probably be Rorschach. Everyone thinks of him first when they think about Watchmen.
I don't know enough about Watchmen to know if this is a joke, but I disagree. As someone not very familiar with the series, the only character from it I know off the top of my head is Dr. Manhattan. I'm not sure how feasible he would be for a fighting game (he is both OP and naked) though.
I was gonna bring up Dr. Manhattan as the second character everyone thinks of, but didn't since, yeah, he's nude.

I think you got me there for realizing not to call him "Jones"
I got my gamer workmate interested in the game! Mentioning that Harley is in the roster probably helped sell it for her.
I feel like it's fine for him to be in here given that he's the title character of his own series. Also, part of me would like to see this make it in as a skin:
Fred has faced the almost exact issue as Leonardo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, being a standardized "straight man" leader that needed some sort of quirk to make him more interesting (although at least Leo did have the sense of honor going for him). So it's understandable that some takes on him are goofier than others.

forget rorsarch, let's have the question
At least TV Tropes lists him as a possibility. Though I can't help but think him interacting with Bugs Bunny would be deliciously ironic.
They could simply give Manhattan some briefs, just like that one Simpsons parody. He'd probably have his powers scaled down accordingly since he likely knows the outcome of the fight.I was gonna bring up Dr. Manhattan as the second character everyone thinks of, but didn't since, yeah, he's nude.
But no, I'm not joking. I remember when Watchmen had a resurgence of popularity in the 2000's, most of it revolved around this guy
he’d make more sense as a blue beetle skin
Rosarch is super popular and is basicly the "main character" of the book. Plus DC loves milking him.
and I thought things were getting daft when I stopped reading
Rule number 1 of comics is that it can always get more stupid and absurd
it seems like I forgot that one
It's No Wonder DC Keeps Winning in Death Battle....At Times.
The Silver Age was gold for that sort of thing (especially where Superman was concerned).
Luckily, Tony is aiming for unique fighters although he did say he had an idea for semiclones so don't know about that.
To be fair, that'd be redundant since Owlman is already a thing.
another reason why it should be blue beetle. after all that's who niteowl was going to beTo be fair, that'd be redundant since Owlman is already a thing.
Which makes me think that Crime Syndicate skins are very doable for Superman and Wonder Woman as well.
It’s a “household object” that is a all purpose device. Everyone knows what it does yet no one explains how it works.
You don't know what a Plumbus does? Everyone knows what a Plumbus does, that's why there's never any need to explain it!
It's an item from Rick & Morty series and it's used in many purposes.
Finished another tuning pass on Morty. He has some really cool setups. Can’t wait to see what players do with his kit. #MultiVersus

I figure that at least certain techniques could be shared (like, say, ninja moves among characters like Naruto and Enid), though I have no idea how things will work out anyhow.
