Whether it’s a new one Super Smash Bros game is on the horizon or not, the topic of who should be included in the all-star brawler is always up for debate. Featuring the most recent DLC for Super Smash Bros Ultimatesome real game icons made their smash debut. With Sora, Banjo-Kazooie and Minecraft Steve in the mix, it’s hard to imagine who wouldn’t make it.
These video game characters stretch the history of both Nintendo games and third-party games. Some of them are pop culture tent poles, although they never appeared on a Nintendo console, while others are more recent legends in the making. Nevertheless, they would certainly create a lot of hype in the Smash Bros fandom if they were included.
10 ATLAS & P body
The Portal series is one of the most acclaimed video game franchises of all time, despite only having two titles. Portal 2 was originally released in 2011, four years after its predecessor. The game has since seen ports on most consoles, including Nintendo Switch in June 2022, making it a prime candidate for the next smash title.
While the player character Chell is the obvious choice, the co-op characters ATLAS and P-body might suit the Smash Bros mold better. These two can either work in the same way as Ice Climbers or even just be alternate skins of each other. Nevertheless, using portals in battle can result in some pretty interesting ways to confuse your opponents.
9 Tetris block
Tetris is one of the most famous video games ever made, originally hitting the NES in 1989. The series has achieved worldwide success and a few songs have even appeared in Super Smash Bros. However, the series never had a flagship character that would be a good representative of this iconic game series.
That hasn’t stopped Smash Bros fans are not creative. Over the years, the internet has debated how a Tetris block might work as a character in Super Smash Bros. It may seem almost impossible to give the Tetris block personality and diverse movements, but Nintendo has done it with the Duck Hunt Dog, a Piranha Plant and even the NES toy ROB
8 tracer
There are many characters from the popular multiplayer shooter overwatch who would make worthy additions to the? smash schedule. However, if Nintendo were to add a character, it’s reasonable that they would opt for the game’s mascot, Tracer. This former British pilot is not only charismatic, but has a unique ability that makes her stand out in smash.
In overwatchTracer is desynchronized with the flow of time, allowing her to spool back and forth to outsmart her opponents. Like Bayonetta’s Witch Time or Shulk’s Vision, Tracer may be able to undo opponents’ damage in the heat of battle. It would also make Tracer one of the smash‘s little canon of LGBT characters.
7 Blanka
The street fighter franchise already has two representatives in smash: Ryu and his Echo Fighter, Ken. There are plenty of other characters from the franchise that would be perfect Smash Bros candidates, from Chun-Li to Cammy, to Dhalsim. However, the spot has to go out to one of the most unique characters street fighterBlanka.
Besides being a mutated green-skinned man, Blanka can also generate electricity. Like Ryu and Ken, Blanka’s moveset could be derived entirely from his street fighter move pool. Suffice it to say, it’s easy to imagine Blanka going up against Pikachu or Robin in a battle of thunder call smash fighters.
6 Monster Hunter
Capcom already has several Smash Bros representatives, with Mega Man, Ryu and Ken. There are many more Capcom characters that would work well in a fighting game, and they have with the Marvel vs Capcom series. Many of them would be a great addition to Smash Broslike Amaterasu from kami or Phoenix Wright from ace lawyer.
However, one potential character already has representation in Super Smash Bros: the hunter out Monster Hunter. The popular franchise has music tracks, Mii costumes and a boss character in Rathalos. A Monster Hunter, complete with alternate costumes and a variety of weapons to use, would be a well-deserved rendition of this franchise.
5 balloon fighter
Nintendo has quite a few retro characters as of now Super Smash Bros Ultimate, including mr. Game & Watch, Duck Hunt Dog and Ice Climbers. A retro character that has yet to be made playable smash debut is Balloon Fighter, from the popular NES game balloon fight. The title even has its own stage in smash 4 and ultimateso it feels inevitable.
In addition, the Balloon Fighter could be quite a unique character in the Smash Bros schedule. Using his balloons, this character can stay in the air during the fight, but after the balloons are popped, he must inflate them back to the ground to return to the sky. This extra pressure could make Balloon Fighter quite a strategic fighter Smash Bros.
4 Kick Knight
Unlike other entries on this list, the titular hero of Kick Knight appears as an auxiliary trophy in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. However, given its popularity, it would make sense that Shovel Knight would become playable in the future smash title. Using a shovel as a weapon by the character would make him a completely unique fighter.
In addition, Shovel Knight also has access to various items and skills that he acquires throughout Kick Knight. Like Mega Man or Villager, Shovel Knight could gain some extra variety by using these weapons as special moves or air strikes. His Final Smash can also send his ally, Shield Knight, into a devastating blow.
3 Master Chef
During the last wave of Smash Bros Ultimate DLC, Master Chief of Halo was often speculated as a potential newcomer. Surprisingly, the Halo series has never appeared on a Nintendo console, but that hasn’t stopped Master Chief from becoming video game royalty. The character definitely shares the same iconic status as Sora or Minecraft Steve.
It’s been rumored for years that that’s for sure Smash Bros characters, such as Solid Snake, cannot have firearms. However, characters like Bayonetta and Joker have refuted this in recent years. Yet there are several weapons in the Halo arsenal that Master Chief can use, from Needlers to Plasma Rifles and even Energy Swords.
2 Lara Croft
Tomb Raider is one of the longest-running and most iconic video game franchises of all time, with spin-offs in film and comic books. The protagonist, Lara Croft, is considered one of the most iconic video game characters of all time, as well as an international sex symbol. Her lack of risqueness in recent years can make her smash debut upcoming.
Like Snake, Croft can use a variety of firearms and explosives. However, she is also quite the acrobatic fighter, which makes her resemble Zero Suit Samus. In addition, her specials could allow her to fight with her compound bow, a hunting knife, or even mystical weapons like Thor’s hammer and Excalibur.
1 Shantae
Shantae from the indie game series of the same name seems like the perfect addition to the Smash Bros schedule. She already appears as a Ghost in ultimate, along with a Mii Brawler costume released as DLC. Still, the character is popular and original enough to warrant full inclusion in the next one Smash Bros title over indie characters like Cuphead or Sans.
Shantae is a half-genius, whose adventures often make use of her magical powers, such as shapeshifting, her whipping and dancing. Overall, she would make for a unique Smash Bros fighter not only in design, but also in function. Plus, a Shantae-inspired stage would provide a beautiful yet intricate environment to compete in.
