As the debut of theNintendo Switch 2draws nearer, fans are clambering looking for any scrap of news they can get about the next Super Smash Bros. game.Super Smash Bros. Ultimateraised the bar for its huge roster of characters.
10 Best Super Smash Bros. Characters
Who knew that we’d see Sora, Cloud, and Sephiroth fighting the likes of Fox, Mario, and Link in Super Smash Bros. while playing Melee back in the day?
There are some characters, however, that seem like such an obvious addition that fans demand they show up in the next installment. Below are ten of the most requested new characters that should be in the next Super Smash Bros. game.
10Shovel Knight
Dig This Pick
The Shovel Knight franchise is an indie darling. The retro-styled game is incredibly popular, has numerous DLCs which have earned praise and has a large cult following, so including this small warrior along with his pixel art style and huge variety of moves and power-ups would be an awesome addition to the next Super Smash Bros game. The franchise is likely open to the idea as rumors swell around a sequel to the beloved game.
9Jim Carrey’s Doctor Eggman
If Nicolas Cage can be in aDead by Daylightgame as himself, then why not haveJim Carrey‘sversion of Eggman show up in the next Super Smash Brothers game? After the success of theSonic the Hedgehogfilms, adding not only the famous mad scientist, but specifically Jim Carrey’s take on the character to a video game franchise, would be an interesting new move for the games.
8Hollow Knight
Inb4 Silksong
While it’s more than likely that gamers will get aHollow Knight: Silksonggame before the next Super Smash Bros., adding Hollow Knight to Smash Bros. could be a great opportunity to introduce more gamers to the Hollow Knight franchise and give the indie fan favourite character a chance to shine.
7Stardew Valley “Player”
Farming KO’s
If Steve from Minecraft can be included in Super Smash Brothers, then why not include another character from a popular farming crafting franchise? Stardew Valley is a popular game for a large age demographic and bringing in this character makes sense as they have lots of crafting skills and some actual fighting skills. Stardew Valley finds players facing monsters in the caves of Stardew Valley, so they can easily face plumbers and dinosaurs in a Smash Brothers title.
6Fortnite “Peely” Banana
Think Of The Taunts!
There’s no gamer alive who doesn’t know about Fortnite as it has taken over as one of the most popular games of all time. While not a Nintendo character, the inclusion of the banana skin from Fortnite would be a great crossover, rewarding fans of both franchises, with a character possessing a moveset full of crafting structures, chugging shields and tons of different weapons. Fortnite has so many crossovers, so it’s about time for it to crossover for once.
Creep Out Your Friends
Zelda‘s favorite pervert has been featured in Smash Bros. before, but only as an interactive object in Super Smash Brothers Melee and not a full-fledged character. Tingle is a hilarious punching bag for Zelda, so why not include him as a punching bag for Mario and Luigi?
If you’ve ever wanted to fist-fight your landlord, this is the best way to go about it. Tom Nook is either your favorite or least favorite character in the Animal Crossing series.
10 Games To Play If You Love Animal Crossing: New Horizons
From Palia to Disney Dreamlight Valley, these titles are sure to appeal to any fan of Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
They would be a great addition to Super Smash Bros, as he can not only have a kit similar to the villager, but he could include his sons or other island neighbors in his moveset. Use all the powers of an animal landlord or finally do something to stop them once and for all.
Good Day For A Swell Battle
With its unique animation, awesome musical score, and challenging difficulty, Cuphead has become a smash hit in the gaming community. While a Cuphead skin was included in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, putting the character fully in a Smash Bros game would be a very cool addition, as his numerous shooting abilities along with dodge mechanics and different skins available, like Mugman and Miss Chalice, make him an easy choice.
2Shadow The Hedgehog
Chaos Control The Edge
With his rise and popularity after a successful film and solo video game, Shadow The Hedgehog could be added to Smash Bros with a similar moveset to Sonic, but perhaps with a heavier playstyle using stronger, slower attacks and some interesting changes to his movement. He is a fan-favourite character from the franchise, and as the game only includes one character from this popular universe so far, Shadow seems like an obvious addition.
It’s Finally Wuigi Time!
If you know anything about Smash Bros., you probably saw this choice coming. Waluigi has been snubbed for years by Smash Brothers as Wario made their debut two games ago! To not have the ability to fight Mario and Luigi with Wario and Waluigi after so many years almost seems intentionally cruel to Nintendo fans. It’s a near guarantee that Waluigi will be included in the next Smash Brothers game.
