Oh. My. God.
Please. I want this badly.
I'll buy ten copies.
Could he be a mega man echo fighter? It doesn't reeeaaally fit... but, eh, out of all of them it's closest, I guess?
He's been on Nintendo systems before, too.
If he gets in, he will probably be fighting on planet Zebes with Samus and will rip the fucking nuclei of a Metroid out in the reveal trailer.
Make it happen, Todd
I want to see the CG version of this so badly.
One of my favorite FPS protagonists since playing Wolfenstein 2
Vault Boy would be the best choice for a new Smash character. Think about all the move possibilities as perks.
Dohvakin is the obvious choice, using the shouts, the diverse weapons, etc.
Doom guy would be an edgier Samus clone.

time to bring it back
If only Kimishima were still in charge, he'd make it so.....
I'd say Vault Boy is iconic and stylistically, much more fitting of Smash than Doom Guy or Skyrim armored viking guy.
The only character iconic enough would be Doomguy, but he is simply too violent.
Unless he'd only use explosives, bfg, plasma guns and stuff. But what's a Doomslayer without a double barreled shotgun

Imagine being in a bromance where you get (understandably in this situation) less than non-bromance friends.
We've already got Mario vs Sonic and Link vs Cloud. Doom Guy vs Samus is definitely a dream match up.
Does Japan have an reservations/issues with the Fallout franchise and whole tongue in cheek shtick it has with nuclear fallout and atomic weapons in general? I wonder if there might be some resistance to a Vault Boy given atomic weapons and destruction are pretty central to his character.
Sakurai would have his work cut out for him to make this guy smash friendly while retaining the authenticity of doom.

You could say the same about Bayonetta. Very violent, iconic weapons are two handguns.
Goku would be totally fine. My main worry is artstyle and the Bethesda failed-realism "art" style would look like actual vomit next to Villager or Megaman.
Even more so than usual.
The Smash team converts all art into a Smash aesthetic. It will look fine.
I mean, you never play as Duck Hunt Dog, R.O.B., and (I think) Wii Fit Trainer, but they represent their series.
That's what's great about them, they don't really. They tend to make faithful HD versions of the source with some small tweaks which has been fine for all the picks so far but would be disastrous with a BGS game or Minecraft Steve.
Give Doom guy more colorful/saturated shades of green and he wouldn't look any more out of place than Samus.
I can't help but feel like franchises like DOOM, Tomb Raider and Elder Scrolls just feel a bit too "out there" for Smash, even more so than series like Bayonetta or Metal Gear, as weird as that sounds.
I'm talking about specifically BGS games. Doomguy is by id and Doom has an infinitely more interesting art style than modern Elder Scrolls or Fallout.
Not sure how you see it that way. Doom is one of the most iconic franchises in gaming, is extremely wacky and over the top and is about as arcadey as FPS games can get. Elder Scrolls is a fantasy RPG, plenty of fantasy RPG characters are in Smash already.
Plus if Sakurai was gonna add Doomguy, he will likely choose the classic Doomguy from Doom 1 and 2, which doesn't look too different to Simon Belmont's character art from the original Castlevania in terms of art style.
Man this drawing is really going places. It was made by a good friend of mine.Make it happen, Todd
Well, it has the same charisma as Elma at least :p
It's one of those characters where his series is of more significance to gaming than the character himself, he is iconic because his series is iconic.
I mean, just look at the fact that gamers have collectively refused to stop calling him Doom Guy.
True, the only things we know about Doom Guy is that he's a space marine, and he's pissed about demons killing his pet bunny and seeks revenge in the second game.
Haha I love this image! The Samus replacing the other Marine really makes it lmao!
Oh man would I kill for a Nintendo/Bethesda cross over/partnership ala Mario + Rabbids or Samus Returns.
Oh. My. God.

I want a Commander Keen collection, I'd pay $20 for it.
Everyone is saying doom guy or Skyrim guy. Hold your horses. I think there is an obvious choice, one that would be unique, recongizable, and fit into the SSB universe.
Vault boy.
He is instantly recognizable, a cultural icon, and the star image of fallout. That plus a fo3 + nv port ....
