naw naw, a Zeta is just a wingless Ridley playstyle, Omega Metroid or bust.
If you fought the Omega Metroids in Samus Returns and saw that one PSA/moveset showcase of Godzilla in a custom Project: M build, you'd understand why he'd be the pretty cool Metroid addition in Smash.
A very kaiju/giant monster-inspired playstyle that tells you to back off once he blast his beam breath on the ground, hahaha.
I'm also for Omega Metroid, especially if they manage to make the scream sound like in Metroid Fusion (GBA)
You know, with a video Maximilian Dood posted about this game being the Golden Age of Smash and hypothesizing if Smash Ultimate can make it to future consoles, I was thinking about what if this game can reach 100 characters? We so far have 83 (77 of which we know which is just insane...). If you could fill up the remaining spots with characters to make it to 100, who would they be? They cannot be Assist Trophies and you are limited to just one Spirit to be a character. Mine would be something like this (besides the ARMS character):
Akira Howard (Astral Chain)
Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII)
Dante (Devil May Cry)
Master Chief (Halo)
Hayabusa (Ninja Gaiden)
Crash (Crash Bandicoot)
Sora (Kingdom Hearts)
Phoenix Wright (Ace Attorney)
Travis (No More Heroes)
Doomguy (DOOM)
2B (Nier Automata)
Heihachi (Tekken)
Lloyd (Tales of Symphonia)
Kratos (God of War)
Sol Badguy (Guilty Gear)
Scorpion (Mortal Kombat)
Lara Croft (Tomb Raider)
First Party:
1-Adeleine & Ribbon (Kirby)
2-Omega Metroid (Metroid)
3-Tap Girl & Monkeys (Rhythm Heaven)
4-Lip (Panel de Pon) (spirit)
5-Porky (Mother)
6-Sylux (Metroid)
7-Taranza (Kirby)
Third Party:
8-Angry Birds (Angry Birds)
9-Empire Unit (Age of Empires)
10-Artorias (Dark Souls)
11-Hornet (Hollow Knight)
12-lara Croft (Tomb Rider)
13-Chell (Portal)
14-Dante (Devil May Cry)
15-Crash (Crash Bandicoot)
16-Master Chief (Halo)
17-Tracer (Overwatch)
Zavok is a missing spirit too? lol there's everyone from Sonic except him/the Deadly 6... anyway I'm not going to add him in my list, who cares of him.
Initially I had Karate Joe in the list, but I decided to replace him with Tap Girl (Rhythm Girl, but I specifically take her Tap Trial version with the monkeys) because he's a spirit and I wanted to give the spirit slot to Lip instead, since Panel de Pon has been finally released worldwide, and she deserves it because her stick is in Smash since Melee.
Sadly I couldn't add Ganon and Vaati due to them having a spirit already, but their spirit don't represent the intended form (classic pig Ganon and minish Vaati). I could have changed Ganon's name to something different, like Pig Ganon, Classic Ganon or Demon King Ganon, but I prefer that if he's added he would be just Ganon.
I added 2 Kirby characters because Kirby deserves it. Metroid as well.
For the third parties, I wanted to cover some of the most influential and iconic franchises. I choose Hornet instead of the knight because her gamepay IMO is more interesting, but they are equivalent IMO, both have one game where they are protagonists, and no, the knight is not the Hollow Knight from the series' title.
I excluded Minecraft becuse I already added Age of Empires and Halo, 2 Microsoft IPs. Minecraft can get a stage and some assist trophies BTW, or be fighter 101 (I don't want to remove from the first party section, Smash needs more first party). Age of Empires is really underrated, it's the history of RTS games.
Angry Birds is there to represent mobile gaming; I think they're an icon enough to deserve it, even if their game is not popular anymore.
