These are my top picks for "possible" newcomers I would personally love for Super Smash Bros Switch (not matter how crazy lol). Fo these characters stack up? Who would you like to see in
Super Smash Bros Switch?
6.PHOENIX WRIGHT: Ok, so here's a character I am actually pretty torn on. On one hand, 3rd party characters allowed in smash should have some sort of impact and legacy in the video game industry. And it doesn't help Mr. Wright's case that we already have 2 of the biggest heavy hitters to rep Capcom, but....man I am bias lol. I absolutely LOVE the ace attorney series as well as the character himself. His series is practically a second home on Nintendo with nearly all his games on the platform. And if there's anything the crossover Capcom games proved, is that Phoenix Wright can make up as an insane fighter. Plus a court room stage with different witnesses on the stand (maybe even Nintendo characters as witnesses for fun) would be flawless.
5. KING K. ROOL: There has been a pretty big demand for more representation for the Donkey Kong series, and I agree. I feel the King would be a nice fit for that gap for not only for DK but having more villains as a whole (more on that later). He may come across as just a slow, heavy fighter but i feel King K. Rool has a pool of weapons, gadgets and traps that they can supply him from all his previous boss fights. He'd be more than just a inspired Boswer character in my eyes.
4. DECIDUEYE: I am simple man who sometimes just needs "order". When I look at the current roster and see a fully evolved fire and water starter....I just need my grass starter, its honestly THAT simple lol. And honestly, just based on his design alone just screams "make me a fighter". Not the strongest points, buts that's all I got.
3.CRASH BANDICOOT: With the announcement of smash switch as will as it's big E3 presence, I feel a new 3rd party character just makes too much sense to ride the hype. One of them being Crash Bandicoot. NOW, I am not basing this off the fact that N-sane trilogy made it on the switch, but rather N-sane trilogy's "existence" instead. The remake has spark new life into the franchise, inviting both old and newcomers. Crash was always seen as popular icon, but his relevance faded away after the whole Activison dilemma. But as of now, especially with a rumor new game in the works, I believe it is time for "crash, to smash".
2.DR.COYLE: This one may seem a bit odd, but let me explain. The game Arms is in a interesting state. Its...successful, though it is not a "splatoon hit" in terms of Nintendo exclusives. Yet it is far from a failure, as basically any Nintendo fan owning a switch would recognize the series, deserving a rep in smash. With this grey area, I feel this gives the Arms franchise the freedom to pick any character they want rather than just relying on Springman. Which is were the main villain, Dr. Coyle comes in. She plays a surprisingly big role in the franchise behind the scenes: artificially creating 2 of the playable characters from the game, bringing back another one from the dead, behind the creation of the the final boss and even the mode "party crash". Dr Coyle has a ton of involvement to the arms franchise that shouldn't be ignored. And top of that, as I mentioned with King K Rool, smash bros is in dying need for new villains. Just imagine smash bros first modern day, female, villain.
1.TRACER:.......OK..........let me REALLY explain this one lol.....In terms of third party characters, I feel like we really hit our peak with all the classics such as sonic, megaman and so forth. I believe it is time for a 3rd party from franchise that gain a strong prescience in modern gaming yet will mesh perfectly with Nintendo characters. Overwatch has done what most modern games cant say they have in terms of popularity and a cult following in such a short time. And their mascot Tracer would fit perfectly to represent that "new fresh air" that Overwatch surrounds itself in. As she will be a representative for the competitive online shooting genre for smash. And for Overwatch never being on a Nintendo console....This is a BOLD prediction with nothing but my own speculation but here it is....I believe Overwatch is going to be ported to the Nintendo Switch with the upcoming new online services. (Complete with gyroscope options and Nintendo exclusive skins, emotes,sprays ect for the heroes). I predict this will be announced at E3 with Tracer's reveal. (ya know, if this pipe dream even has a remote chance)
**HONORABLE MENTIONS**
MS PACMAN (COSTUME) It legit blows my mind that despite all the character gender options in smash, the most both obvious and famous one doesn't appear. This should of been in the wii u/3ds version EASILY and I hope it happens.
SONIC (REWORK) As a huge sonic fan, I always loved both modern and classic sonic equally. But with the huge success that was sonic mania and Sega big push with classic sonic recently, I have a theory. It would only make sense to rework sonic into his "classic self" the same way that Link might be updating in smash. Sega knows how much classic sonic is being received positively just by their promotions and marking alone. If they really want to keep this momentum, I can easily see a "classic sonic" in smash with a mania theme stage.
PYRA(CHARACTER) I actually dont know too much about xenoblade chronicles 2. But I fully aware of the massive success that game was and I personally fond of her design. I would like her in smash, and even add Mythra to boot lol. Perhaps her presence will get me into her game like Shulk did with his prequel.
