I know, I know, I'm already had my prediction done.
But someone interesting came to my mind yesterday... and no one here mentioned it before.






Clarice, the main protagonist of City Connection


Who's Clarice? Who created her?
She is a 15-year-old girl, born in California, heights 158cm.
B78 W56 H84
One day, she eager to find herself the perfect man, so she decided to drive her red Honda City hatchback, named Clarice-car , to travel the world...

(But we know, City Connection is just a infinite loop game, so we can't tell if she eventually found one...)

City Connection was developed by a Japanese company Jaleco. However, they went bankrupted in 2013.


And since 2014, all of Jaleco's game assets were acquired by another Japanese company, which is also named City Connection.

Official site of City Connection

Both Jaleco and City Connection kind of regarded Clarice as poster girl for a while.


But wait, I've never seen this cute girl in City Connection before...?
That's because in non-Japanese version, Clarice was replaced with this nameless blonde guy.


and this was the TV commercial in Japan


Her appearance after City Connection (NES)
There are about 3 times after her debut later:

1.City Connection Rocket(2014)

A smartphone game only for Japanese phones, developed by Studio Runba.
In this sequel, she never paints sections of the road.
Instead, she became an agent of UN, and she need to collect briefcases placed in each stage while dealing with enemies' car.

Also, her car has equipped with Super Rocket and Homing Oil Missile now.
Thus, she can use these 2 weapons to defeat enemies.

2.Game Tengoku Cruisin Mix(2017)

She became a DLC character in this game, and her car was equipped with Gatling Gun.

Also, there's something special with her special attack...

3.Conga Master Cruisin(2018)

An arrange version of Conga Master, but it seems less popular than the original Conga Master...


Why do you think she can make it? I mean, she's just a driver...
Well...:ultfalcon:and:ultfox: are drivers, too, and both are in Smash since 64.

Beside that, she is the very first female protagonist(1985) in NES game history, even earlier than :ultsamus:(1986).
And I believe that those whoever had NES should had played City Connection at least once.
Among those non-Nintendo NES games, I think Clarice still has a chance.


General ideas

Music
(I wonder where can I get the full version of this...?)


The third music could be her theme in Conga Master Cruisin.

Alt costumes
Beside regular driver outfit, maybe this Race Queen suit can be possible.

Victory Pose
First one would be based on the victory pose in NES, of course.


Second one could be this, just like:ultwiifittrainer:'s.


Third one could be her dancing move in Conga Master Cruisin.

Well, while I can't really say I support, I'd never heard of this game and it looks like something I'd like to play, so thanks for the suggestion! Also, the thread is really well made.

I think most people add supporters by editing the OP.

What's OP...?

Oh, sorry, OP stands for Original Post. What people generally do is edit the first post and add the supporters' names. Like you just did with mine, but in the first post.

As for where the edit button is, I'm on mobile so I don't know where it might be for you.

I've never heard of her before but her game looks pretty cool and she'd definitely stand out amongst the other smash fighters.

I guess i support, yeah !

Been playing the heck out of the NES version of City Connection thanks to Switch Online

I support, even if it's a bit unconventional at the end of the day
