Top 10 Characters Who Should Be In The Next Smash Bros. Game
mrplow8 | 6:48 PM on 04.26.2009 27 comments


10.GENO(SUPER MARIO RPG)
-Geno is a toy. Why wouldn't you want to play as a toy. Toys are fun. I can only assume that they're even more fun when they're possessed by the spirits of legendary warriors(Or whatever it is that Geno's possessed by).

09.DUCK HUNT DOG(DUCK HUNT)
-Everyone has fond memories of playing Duck Hunt, everyone has gone back and tried to play it again at some point only to realize that it sucks and the only reason they ever thought it was good was because they were a stupid kid, and everyone has been laughed at by that stupid dog. It doesn't even make any sense. The dog is supposed to be your hunting companion. Why would he laugh at your failure? Doc Lewis doesn't laugh at you for getting knocked out in Punch Out. Dr. Light doesn't laugh at you for dying in Mega Man. Why is that dog such an asshole? He should be a playable character just so you can smash his face in. Then we'll see who's laughing.

08.RIDLEY(METROID)
-I could name several reasons why Ridley should be a playable character, but I only have to name one. He's a pterodactyl dragon space pirate, which is the coolest thing that anyone could ever be. Considering the fact that Metroid is one of Nintendo's most popular IPs right now, it only makes sense that they should use more Metroid characters than just Samus and Samus in a different outfit.

07.K. ROOL(DONKEY KONG)
-The best part about K. Rool is his apparent split personality disorder. In the original Donkey Kong Country he's a king, then in DKC2 he's a pirate, then in DKC3 he's a mad scientist, and finally in DK64 he's a boxer. You can't just go directly from being a king to being a boxer. That would be crazy. You have to be a pirate and a mad scientist in between. How come no one ever bothers explaining these random job changes? Also, how does he convince all of his minions to go along with these random theme changes? Does he just show up one day and say "Guess what, everyone! We're going to be pirates now!" I mostly want him in Smash Bros. to see what he's going to be next. I'm guessing corrupt politician or astronaut.

06.BLASTOISE(POKEMON)
-Blastoise is the best Pokemon. The Blue version of Pokemon was clearly superior to the Red version because it had Blastoise on the box art and on the front of the cartridge. It didn't matter that you could still get him in the Red version, in the Blue version you could get him plus have him on the box art and cartridge. Blastoise should be in the next Smash Bros. game, and he should also be on the box art.

05.SCROOGE McDUCK(DUCK TALES)
-This probably can't happen, since Scrooge McDuck isn't technically a video game character, but Duck Tales on NES was awesome(and also the first game I ever remember beating on my own). Scrooge probably has the money to buy himself into the next Smash game if he really wants to be in it.

04.BIG DADDY(BIOSHOCK)
-I remember the creator of the original BioShock saying in an interview that he was a fan of Super Smash Bros. How awesome would it be to play as a Big Daddy in Smash Bros? They could also add a Rapture stage, and a new plasmid item that would give you different abilities each time you picked it up. The only problem is there would probably have to be a BioShock game on a Nintendo console before Nintendo would actually use Big Daddy in one of their games. That's okay, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before we hear about the BioShock rail shooter coming to Wii.

03.CHUN-LI(STREET FIGHTER)
Everyone says there should be more female characters in Smash, and if you're going to add one it should be the one that invented female fighting game characters. Nobody wants Krystal except for furries, and no one cares what they think anyway.

02.MEGA MAN(MEGA MAN)
-I don't really know what to say about Mega Man. Just put him in Smash Bros. already, Nintendo. What's wrong with you?

01.CRANKY KONG(DONKEY KONG)
-Cranky Kong is the greatest video game hero of all time, according to himself. In his day, he could complete any game in less than an hour on just one life. Cranky Kong was the original Donkey Kong, so he arguably is the greatest video game character of all time. The original Donkey Kong game is definitely one of the most famous games of all time. It's time for Cranky to come out of retirement and show all the whipper snappers who's boss. He could pull off smash attacks using his cane.

Unfortunately Geno is property of Square (I'm sure you knew this); but if he wasn't, he most likely would have been a trophy character in Brawl, easily.

Given the trend of a huge character like Bowser, and a flying esque character like Metaknight, it's safe to assume that Ridley will be making an appearance at some point (Smash Brothers 5?)

Maybe I'm alone, but I don't get all the dick-sucking of Big Daddys (look, they were in System Shock 2!)

The real question is: When is Nintendo going to get sick of Brawl, and make a tight-ass spin-off? 5? 6?

A'rite list.

But I have to deduct points for the Big daddy suggestion, simply because that will probably never happen.

But, we can hope, right? :)

Heh, I remember the pre-Brawl hype extravaganza with everyone thinking Ridley was surefire (and strangely Geno as well...) Shame since both of them would have made great additions (Although I'd love to see Phoenix Wright and The Masked Man before anyone else ;)

This list is more who I'd like to be in the next Smash, and not who I think actually will be(which is why Scrooge McDuck is on there).

And Big Daddy isn't really any more of a longshot than Snake was.

@MrPlow8 - Solid Snake was in a gamecube game, so it wasn't completely unfathomable.

I do wish Capcom would sign off on Mega Man and Viewtiful Joe, though. They'd be perfect.

@Mr.
Kojima idolizes Miyamoto's creations, and Smash Brothers as a whole, so it was destined to happen.

2K Games has 0 ties/chance compared to Kojima's work.

And so it begins.

My list, off the top of my head-

10) Saki- From Sin and Punishment. Awesome, underused character.

9) Mr Resetti- He's a pick axe wielding maniac with the devil in his eyes.

8) Captain Rainbow- Sure, no one bought the game, but it deserves respect for being hilarious and weird. Plus, he's a superhero. He'd be perfect.

7) Rhythm Heaven block head guys- It's Nintendo's biggest new franchise. Maybe the Glee Club guys are more recognizable, but the block head guys were in both Tengoku games, and they look like they could kick ass.

6) The Elite Beat Agents- Or the Ouedan guys for Japan. Either is fine.

5) Donkey Kong Jr.- Diddy Kong needs to go. Tag out to DK Jr. and make the world smile.

4) Little Mac- He's back, for real this time, and deserves representation.

3) Masked Man- Smash Bros needs Mother characters that actually play differently from each other, and the Mask Man would be perfect.

2) Chibi Robo- Tons of cool moves; a cute and likable Nintendo character who's painfully under utilized.

1) Mega Man- He's got more games than anyone, and is still relevant after all these years. If Smash Bros is about all the great videogame icons coming together, and they're now including 3rd party guys, then Mega Man needs to be in there.

Also, Big Daddy's a cool idea. Levine reportedly really enjoys Smash Bros, so it's not impossible.

I agree with this list except replace chun li with Ryu for being more famous and add Sora from Kingdom Hearts because my jizzsplosion would be heard around the world if they did that.

Big Daddy... eh, might as well. How 'bout Smash 4 gets Gordon Freeman.

Screw it, I'm gonna make up a list too ;)

10. Professor Layton
Probably better suited for an Assist Trophy, but imagine the antics he could get up to

9. Tom Nook
I imagine him attacking by throwing bells, and hitting people with his furniture (and with his loan rates *Budum-kish!*

8. K.K. Slider
For some reason the idea of a guitar wielding Brawler really appeals to me. A dog guitar wielder doubly so. Only problem is I doubt AC could get more then one rep (if even that), so it's either him or Nook.

7. Samurai Gohro
Made for a great Assist Trophy, but I'd like to see him as a full character. Would be a nice foil for our favorite Captain.

6. Ryu
THE mascot of all fighting games is well deserving of a spot. Moveset practicably prebuilt. B: Hadouken, Side B: Hurricane Kick, Up B: Shoryuken, Down B: Parry. On an aside, I would love to see a Nintendo vs. Capcom game, which I imagine would contain both a traditional 2D fighter and a Smash Bros on. Total pipedream though.

5. Liquid Snake
Yeah, he'd probably just be a clone of Solid, but I like the idea of clones. They probably don't take up much dev time, and add even more charecters.

4. Mewtwo, Dr. Mario, Roy and Pichu
'Nuff said.

3. Ridley
Wish he had gotten into Brawl :/ Great moveset potential, and he's fucking Ridley! He's a space dragon for crying out loud ;)

2. The Masked Man
Basically what John said. He could have an awesome moveset with his sword and megabuster) plus having him square off against Ness and Lucas would be beyond epic.

1. Phoenix Wright
Seriously, he's perfect for the game in terms of personality, and in move set potential (I actually wrote up ones for the past 3 in my Pre-Brawl madness) Plus, I'd love to see a special taunt like Snake and the Starfox boys got, where he calls up Maya and friends :)

As you can tell, this is a topic I've given an inordinate amount of thought to ;)

@Jonathan Holmes:

How dare you speak ill against Diddy Kong!? You're sick sick man. Donkey Kong Jr. is a twisted mess compared to the amazing Diddy Kong. I can't respect your opinion anymore. You crossed too many lines. :P

I 100% agree with Little Mac.

I'm still hoping Bomberman gets it. He's awesome. He could use bombs, and bombs... Oh and bombs too.

The mascot from Rittai Picross should be an Assist Trophy.

I wonder if Raymond Bryce can be expanded into a full character. The series needs more realistic characters.

They need to put in BONK from Bonk's Adventures on the Turbo Graphix 16. That would just be totally bad ass!!!

I just want mega man and Phoenix Wright in the next iteration. Also I would love for them to give the clones unique movesets.

I don't really have a problem with clones. They're different enough from each other that they feel like entirely different characters. The only clones that really seem the same to me are Ness and Lucas, and that's probably because I don't use them often enough to know the difference.

If anything I would want Isaac from Golden Sun expanded upon and be a full fledged character instead of an assist trophy, with possibly other characters from that game as clones or something. I would weep tears of joy if that happened.

Megaman, Phoenix Wright, Liquid Snake ("Hello, brooother" lol), Ryu are also suggestions I would highly enjoy. Also, bring back Roy. That is all.
