Always nice to see fun threads like this pop up. Let’s give it a whirl.
-
Shantae. The last of my biggest wants (K Rool, Ridley, and Min Min were my other top 4 picks prior to Ultimate’s announcement).
- Most wanted retro character
-Does a
Darkstalkers rep count since they haven’t had a new game in 22 years? No? Alright fine I’d say either
Mach Rider or
Excitebike, I think a mounted character would make for an interesting moveset.
- Most wanted third-party character
-A new fighting game rep (preferably someone from
Darkstalkers,
Guilty Gear, or
Amingo from MvC2)
-
Phoenix Wright plus Maya Fey (bonus points if half the costumes are an Apollo and Athena tag team; that limits Maya to just being an assistant and not using the non-canon version of her powers from MvC3 but I’m ok with that.)
-a character from
Fate (a series I think people are sleeping on for their chances given how massive a game series it is in Japan)
-
Travis Touchdown (THE MII COSTUME WAS HIS ‘TRAVIS STRIKES AGAIN’ OUTFIT HE’LL COME AS A FULL CHARACTER IN HIS CLASSIC LOOK
I’M NOT IN DENIAL YOU’RE IN DENIAL)
Shantae as mentioned above. Beyond that?
-
Zagreus from Hades (definitely too late but if there’s ever a pass 3...)
-
Otus from Owlboy
-
Juan from Guacamelee as the out of nowhere dark horse pick. We need more grapplers.
- Most wanted echo fighters
-
Kumatora over Lucas (he’s already stolen her moves, might as well use her body!)
-
Hawlucha over Incineroar (going back to Melee clones having their main difference being scaled down sizes like Young Link, making him smaller, lighter, and faster than Incineroar. I love his playstyle, but I don’t like Incineroar’s design.)
-
Octolings over Inklings (duh)
-
Edelgard over Ike (BUT FIRE EMBLEM BAD- hush. Big heavy sword swings -> big heavy ax swings. She even has a younger and older design to fit Ike’s split ages!)
-
Metal Sonic over Sonic (the objectively superior Sonic clone choice, get rekt Shadow)
-
Viridi or
Hades over Palutena (for Viridi, go the Melee clone route and make her smaller, and switch the light effects to... nature or that thorny effect reset bombs have. For Hades, just switch the light effects to darkness and maybe one or two more vicious animations on his attacks. Make it meta how he literally had to make a staff for himself to fit Palutena’s moveset. And keep the pole dance taunt.)
-
Master Chief. I don’t hate him, I just have no attachment to Halo. If I wanted a fun FPS rep I’d push for Heavy. If I wanted an FPS rep who’s a green suited space marine with a wide arsenal of weapons from an incredibly influential franchise, I’d pick Doomslayer.
-
Gen 8 starters or legendaries. I feel a new pokemon is inevitable, but if it is, I want it to be something cool that got early popularity like Toxtricity or Dragapult. None of the starters really caught my attention and the legendaries would make people so salty that a Pokemon AND a swordie got in. ...Ok actually I want to see that meltdown so badly so maybe Zacian gets a pass
-
Scorpion. There’s dozens of fighting games I like more than Mortal Kombat, and of the two major MK mascots I like Sub-Zero better.
-
Ryu Hayabusa. Never really cared for Ninja Gaiden, but I also just feel like a lot of his support is random bandwagon jumpers from when that was a popular DLC leak. I maybe heard him mentioned 2-3 times back in Smash 4 days, and another 2-3 times prior to Ultimate’s DLC... and now all of a sudden he’s on every other youtube list of most wanted dlc reps.
- Will never happen but I want to
-
Ghirahim, Isaac, Waluigi (trapped in assist trophy purgatory)
-
Tingle (I defy you to tell me why Tingle should be passed up for Impa when he’s starred in his own games while Impa is a decrepit old woman for half of her appearances)
-
Oda Nobunaga (a major character but not the main character of the Fate series, but damnit I wanna summon 1,000 flying muskets and give Kirby the raddest hat in the universe)
-
Big the Cat (unironically the only other Sonic character I actually want as a unique playable character do not question me)
-
Tabuu (ok seriously but wouldn’t that be cool)
Probably too late for bosses, but I’ll toss some in anyway.
-
Eggman in one of his giant mechs
-
Return of Tabuu
-
The Wonderful 100/101 (hey, getting stage-sized weapons would be broken for a character... but what about a boss?)
-
Hades from Kid Icarus (HOW DID THIS NOT HAPPEN)
-
Kraid (you’ve got the model right there c’mon guys!)
-If Shantae got in, the
Part Omni Organic, Partially Titanic, Ocean Operating Tinkerslug (don’t call it P.O.O.P.T.O.O.T.)
-
Majora (Mask, Incarnation, and Wrath could make for a great multi-stage boss.)
