Phil Spencer, and all of his alts are too-tight tees with various gamer-isms under a jacket

The forza car obviously, duh.

I want Marcus Fenix in it, but I guess that would be too bloody.

While Master Chief and Steve are more recognizable, Banjo coming to Smash has been discussed for a loooooong time. Just get it over with already. :p

Hell, even Phil said he would be okay with Banjo appearing in Smash on Twitter. Too lazy to find and post that tweet though.

From a Microsoft perspective, Chief would be the best candidate.

From a Nintendo fan perspective, Banjo is the best candidate.

From a popularity perspective, Steve is the best candidate.

Spoilers: It will be Steve.

Steve is one of those characters who doesn't have much in the way of an obvious combat moveset, but they'd come up with a great one for him that looks fun and feels right anyway.

Chief would be so out of the blue.

It would be epic. Hearing the theme...

And I say that never having even played a single Halo game.

Banjo is an ugly bear, so not him. Steve ain't better, but at least he is popular with kids and I won't deny them their chance of having their favorite franchise represented.

If it's Steve or Master Chief I'll blow my brains out fucking dull as hell choices.
Optimally it'd be Banjo/Kazooie or Conker.

Fuck it without a shred of a lie I'd take the fucking paperclip over those two wet noodles.

Joanna Dark would be my pick

Master Chief would probably be the best, most iconic pick... Banjo's dead, and who cares about Steve?

Banjo's a nobody who had two worthwhile games during the period where the majority of people on Era were children. Steve is far and away the best option.

Banjo and Kazooie's been asked for since the Melee days. Would be great to finally have them in.

Banjo seems like the most likely but voting Chief because I think that'd be way more fun to see happen.

They already added a spartan for Dead or Alive on 360, so they probably won't do that again. Based on how Minecraft is nowadays I do not want any more publicity for that steaming pile, so I hope they don't do that. Banjo is meh but would fit Smash the best probably. If there was a Forza car in the running, I'd probably pick that...

Banjo would be a total crowd pleaser and would make many older fans very happy.

Steve is awful but likely because of how big Minecraft is.

Master Chief could arguably be a bigger megaton than Sonic, Snake and Cloud.
