Nintendo keeps having videos leaked, or more likely leaking them themselves, revealing new characters that will be DLC for Super Smash Bros. Most recently we've seen Ryu from Street Fighter, Roy from Fire Emblem, and Lucas from Mother 3.
Ryu is at least a little bit exciting since he's a character we haven't seen before. Apparently Lucas and Roy are extremely beloved in Japan which might explain their inclusion. It's less exciting on this side of the Pacific especially when you take into account the fact that Mother 3 was never released in the U.S., with the exception of pirated and translated copies.
It got me thinking about some other characters that might be fun to have in Smash Brothers. With characters like Sonic the Hedgehog, Ryu, and Pac-man already in the game, the options are wide open.
1. Geno (Super Mario RPG)- there's been a campaign on the internet to get the warrior from the Star Road included in the game and I'm with them. Geno could be a lot of fun and already has a huge following. As long as his character isn't terrible, it'd be a win.
2. Knuckles (Sonic the Hedgehog)- we've already got Sonic and everyone knows that Knuckles is way cooler. There's a bunch of Star Fox clones, so why not a Sonic variant? Still really fast but can go toe to toe with the heavyweights. Make it so, Nintendo.
3. Scorpion (Mortal Kombat)- if Street Fighter can join the party, why not the other most popular fighting game of all time? Just imagine hearing "GET OVER HERE!" and then Bowser getting yanked across the screen by the harpoon. If that doesn't appeal to you... just get out of there.
4. Sephiroth(Final Fantasy VII)- this really can't need any explanation, can it?
5. Earthworm Jim (Earthworm Jim)- a forgotten classic that also spawned a fun cartoon series. Jim could be a lot of fun with all the things he could do with his suit and the fact that he's, you know, a worm. I just want to see a Kirby version on this.
These are my top choices to join the ranks of Smash Bros. What are some of yours?
