My number one pick is Hi-Fi Rush. The art style and character design goes a long way with the game and how much I like the full product. Chai as a all-arounder, Peppermint as a speedy, light zoning character, Macaron as a heavy, close-combat brawler...the movesets just make themselves. Those three are a given to me, along with Banjo-Kazooie, Spyro & Crash (assuming the activision deal goes through), who else are you adding? What characters and movesets would make sense for you? What franchises should be represented? What about guest characters? Who would fit within that branding as a guest character? And as an added bonus, who develops it?

Raz
Banjo & Kazooie
Conker
Joanna Dark
Chai

are probably the top 5 I'd most want to see in such a title.

I want a lot of the early Xbox mascot-esque games included. And if we don't have levels based on the green slime era of the first Xbox I don't want it.

The roster would actually be insane at this point, regardless if the Activision deal goes through or not. Like shitposting aside you can make a badass roster out of what MS owns currently.

Banjo-Kazooie again because why not, they should be in more fighting games, but let's go further: Nuts n Bolts Banjo-Kazooie also gets in and they're this game's Dr. Mario. Sort of an echo, but tweaked enough to be just a little bit worse :)

I'm having trouble thinking of fighters I associate with Xbox outside the obvious, but I will say, the Microsoft funded Smash Bros. clone could be a perfect opportunity to celebrate not just Xbox but also PC gaming (Microsoft's history with the medium as a whole).

This is a long way of saying I want them to put 3D Pinball for Windows - Space Cadet into the game and I want it to be the final stage in classic mode.


Clippy is assist trophy tier, like Microsoft Sam

Clippy's final smash is calling upon the voice of Microsoft Sam to delete the files in his browser (his enemies)

XBox Smash - The Microsoft Fighting Game - Build the Roster

Personally I think he feel into the trap of gettings lots of fighters with similar movesets, but I don't blame him on trying to give halo lots of characters.

I would go for more IP representation and less same characters from different ips.
And yes, the Forza car absolutely would be a fighter.

Master Chief, Raz, Steve, Senua, Banjo, Marcus Fenix, Joanna Dark, Forza Car, Vault Boy, Doomguy, Chai, Ori

truth is that they shoudn't do one until they have enough iconic characters.
it would be kinda neat though because smash, with the exception of two microsoft characters, only features japanese characters.

The roster wouldn't be the problem. It'd be the developer. Smash is well made because of Nintendo. Who would Microsoft get to make it? Rare? Or would they look to Capcom to make it?

I already posted that video. But at least Thorgi takes ethnic diversity into consideration, which is more than I can say for most this thread (the OP is one of the exceptions, as he at least brought up Macaron). I'm still surprised I'm the only one who mentioned Deathloop.

Let's get Billie Lurk in there as well since Microsoft owns Dishonored now.

Cole Train baby! Wooo!

Nintendo does not even make those games, HAL and Namco did. There are already rumors going around that Namco is working on a new Killer Instinct. I could absolutely see that having stuff like Doomguy and Dragonborne already. My dream of Kaim from Lost Odyssey probably will not ever happen, but I think Chai has a decent shot at showing up in a new KI like that. Fingers crossed!

Ctrl+F "Phantom Dust"

...You all are missing out on the absolutely wild potential moveset for a Phantom Dust rep.
