Western villain submission:
Shao Kahn
(Mortal Kombat - Midway/Netherrealm studios/Warner bros. Interactive/Warner Bros. Discovery)
"Nothing can alter your destiny, nor mine!"
Who is this lad with the mask?
Shao Kahn is the primary antagonist of Midway's fighting game series Mortal Kombat (Made by Ed Boon) and he is powerful tyrant of the Outworld throne. He is praised as one of most popular video game villains. Alongside Shinook, he serves as a primary antagonist of the series.
Although Shang Tsung is a main antagonist of the series, Shao Kahn is more popular than him in comparison. After his debut in MK II, he started to appear in other MK games as boss or even playable.
Shao Kahn the Konqueror is the overlord of Outworld and he served as antagonist for most of the series. He appeared as boss in multiple games and he was an antagonist in MK (2011)'s story mode and a secodary one in MK11's story mode. He was even an announcer for the game's arcade.
How the heck he could work in smash?
Well, well, well. Shao Kahn is not a stranger for fighting games, since he appeared in many of them. Yes, so his moveset for smash would be taken from Mortal Kombat games. He could use his signature hammer, fists, legs and more, given the fact that he is a fighting game character.
His gimmicks would be
1-1 Facing, Command Inputs, Button commands and he would have new gimmick in game like
Super Meter, where it rises while dealing damage or taking damage. It can be spent to
Amplify his special moves by holding the button or perform a deadly
breaker move by pressing the special while shielding, which he could break out of his combos.
The gimmicks could reference MK games, where he originated from.
He would be heavyweight rushdown fighter with slow speed and he doesn't have any movement options such as crawling or wall-jumping. He could also have universal armor gimmick like Kazuya and Bowser.
There is a secret when you play him. When you could choose him as playable fighter, the announcer's voice changes into Mortal Kombat's one (It's kinda similar to Kazuya's situation, where he has different announcer).
Why Shao Kahn as fighter for Super Smash Baddies?
Shao Kahn should be added to smash baddies roster, because he would represent Mortal Kombat franchise, or even Warner Bros. games as whole, which it would be similar to Sora, since he (Sora) is owned by non-video game company, just like Shao Kahn. Also he would have genuine moveset potential like using his hammer as side smash or even his final smash would be based on his "Fatality" move.
(Although Sora is not in the game, but Shao Kahn would be Sora's equivalent for this game)
Also like I mentioned earlier, he would be another character who is owned by non-video game company (Warner Bros. Discovery).
(Also imagine his reveal trailer, where villains from the game encounter him in the showdown)
