With the announcement of Sora being the final guest fighter and one final update, super smash bros ultimate is finished. It will be years before we get the new smash bros game. With Masahiro Sakurai done with smash for good, who knows what is ahead of the series. Yet there is a thing you can count is guest fighters. In recent versions we got Cloud, Joker, Sonic, Ryu, Pac man, and more. Who will be the future guest fighters in the next game? Who knows? Heck Nintendo themselves may not know. Today I am going list the characters I want to be in the next smash bros. Hopefully some or all these characters will get their invitation to smash.
The first group are from Square Enix. The first to get an invite is Tifa Lockhart from final fantasy VII. I know that Cloud and Sephiroth comes from the same game but I feel that the game is so popular I think another character can come to smash. It was between Tifa and Aerith but I pick Tifa. I like Tifa better, and they are couple more reasons I pick Tifa if you get my point. She can use her powerful punches and kicks in battle. Also she can use her summersault kick to knock someone into the air.
The next fighter is Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII. FF XIII did get mixed reviews and split the fan base, but I think that Lightning is a great character. If she was in a better game, then I believe more fans would appreciate her. The final Square Enix character is not from Final Fantasy but another game they made. It’s Olberic from Octopath Traveler. All of the main eight character but my favorite is Olberic and he get the next invite. In the game, Olberic can use the other characters to assist him in battle. For example he can summon Alfyn to heal him, summon Cyrus to attack with spell, and summon Therion to steal items for the other fighters.
The next two are the biggest longshots to be in the game. The first is Genji from overwatch. Overwatch is very popular and I would love to have a ninja in the game. With the activision issues still going on, I don’t think that Nintendo wants an activison character in the next smash. The other longshot character is Aloy from Horizon zero dawn and the upcoming Horizon forbidden west game. Link and Pit are the archers for the roster but I think there is more for a third one. Beside shooting she can use her bow for melee attacks. Plus she can summon the mechanical animals from the game to attack. Her ultimate can be a stampede attack using all the mechanical animals. The big issues will Sony let one of their characters in smash.
Fighting games like Street fighter, Tekken, and Fatal fury and representation in smash. There is still plenty of more room for other fighting games to be represent as well. Someone from the Soulcalibur series needs to be in the next game. I was thinking about adding Ivy or Taka for a couple or four reasons if you get my point again. Okay no more breast jokes. I went with Cervantes. Mainly the roster needs another villain. Speaking of villains, Shao Kahn from Mortal Kombat gets in next invite. Again the roster needs more villains. Shao can use his hammer to stun his foe and use his shoulder ram to knock his foe across the screen. The next fighter is in one fighters that share the same spot. They are Jacky and Sarah Bryant from virtua fighter. On the roster screen to the pick Jacky or Sarah like to can pick the male or female version of Robin. Jacky can focus on punches and Sarah can focus on kicks.
The next fighter is a bad ass chick. The chick is Lara Croft. Lara can use guns and gymnastics skills in battle. For example, she she can jump over her foe and shooting at them at the same time.
The next group is from kid friendly games and they might have a better chance to get an invite. The first character is Bomberman. It been sometime that Bomberman been in a game. He can place, throwing, and delay throwing bombs in battle. Next is Rayman. With the relationship between Nintendo and Ubisoft, Rayman got a good shot to get an invite. Rayman can summon the Rabbids to aid him in battle. Another character from the Sonic series needs to be in smash. It is Sonic’s sidekick, Tails. Tails can fly around the screen while shooting and using diving attacks. For his ultimate move, Tails can use his airplane t crash into the others fighters.
Of course I need to pick characters from Nintendo. The first one is Akira Howard from Astral Chain. Once again just like Robin you can choose between the male or female version. Akira can use his gun to shoot, turn his gun into a baton for melee attacks, and of course summon the legions into battle. On how popular Metroid dread is, the e.m.m.i must be in smash. The e.m.m.i must do more than just chasing their foe around.
At long last we reach the last and the important character. This character should have been the last DLC character. Not Sora. I don’t get why fans wanted Sora in the game so bad. He’s nothing special. This character is special. The character is Master Chief. Master Chief is a legend that needs to be in smash. If only one guest fighter can made it into the next smash, it should be Master Chief.
This is the DLC order I would use.
DLC 1
Tifa, Olberic, Jacky and Sarah Bryant, Rayman, Akira Howard
DLC 2
Tails, Bomberman, Genji, Lightning, Cervantes
DLC 3
Shao Kahn, Lara Croft, Aloy, E.M.M.I, Master Chief
