Who are these Genji-looking dudes?
These are Tenno, warriors from the Origin System (Our solar system) and the player characters of the free-to-play online video game Warframe. Guided by the mysterious Lotus, the Tenno fight back many evils, ranging from the militarized Grineer to the mercantile of the Corpus, all while toting high-tech armor suits, the titular Warframes.
Why should they be in Smash Bros?:
Warframe is one of the most popular free-to-play games in the industry, and arguably the most impressive port to the Switch in its entire library. Also, we actually have Warframe content in Smash already, that being a Spirit of the Lotus herself! And yeah, I know it feels kinda cliche to say they would be extra unique in Smash, but it's true! Pushing aside moveset potential, the Tenno are already unique enough as is!
What do they have against them?:
Obviously, people would be a little turned off by them because we already have Greninja and Sheik in Smash with the ninja aesthetic and the sword-haters of the Smash community would most likely denounce the Tenno.
How would they play?:
I'd actually imagine the Tenno to be an all-around balanced character with a slightly high combo potential. There are lots of Warframes to pick from, but I'd expect them to pick the most popular one, which is the starter Warframe Excalibur, but on the other hand, he could have abilities taken from other Warframe types, whichever they may be.
Like this.
So there you have it. Do you want the Warframe content to continue, and have a playable Tenno? Or are you just fine with the Lotus spirit?
