Explained in the title. In your opinions, which character do you think does the worst or best job at representing who they are in their games or the series as a whole? You don't have to hate or love the character. The main question is does this character do a good or awful job at representing their original game? You can do one or both and I guess the idea of accurate representation is subjective, but it'd also be interesting to see what your idea of accurate representation is. Especially since Smash has to obviously make a few adjustments for certain characters to make sense in a fighting game format. Plus, absolute perfect representation isn't too much fun either. I guess a better question would be which character is the best at being adapted into Smash while being a fun Smash character while retaining traits from their original game.
My opinions-
Worst: Sheik
To be fair, Sheik did nothing besides play a few tunes in Ocarina of Time. But if that's the case, I don't really know why she's warranting of her own character slot even if she is just Zelda. Now, I'm not really against making up Smash specific moves, but Sheik's moves don't really do much to tell us anything besides the fact she's a ninja who is fast and sneaky. Biggest reference I can find is her Up B which uses the flash from a deku nut. I think a more interesting approach would be the use of the songs in OoT. Since Sheik originates from OoT and songs are a vital part of the gameplay, making them a possible mechanic of hers would be a lot more faithful, but also a lot more interesting cause I'm not really digging the standard ninja even if she's decently fun to play around with.
Best: Villager
Now, the mere fact that Villager is a fighter sort of goes against the basics of Animal Crossing. But the way they implemented AC into the Villager's moveset not only is faithful, but it's also fun as hell to play around with. Nearly all of the Villager's attacks use items from the AC universe. There's almost no simple punching or kicking moves which just makes him so much more interesting to watch. Side tilt is an umbrella, down tilt is weeding, up b uses balloons, aerials use turnips or the slingshot, down smash is a shovel, up smash is fireworks. Every move he has is so colorful while keeping the general Animal Crossing aesthetic with the sound effects and the patterns on the models. Villager is one of my favorite fighters in Smash because of his entertaining moveset and playstyle.
Tell me who you guys think are the best and worst at representing their series in Smash.
