Say Smash Ultimate gets one more fighting game rep for their DLC, what character and franchise would be the most interesting pick?
- Thread starter Kalmakov
- Start date
Definitely Cinder from Killer Instinct. Having anyone from that game would be amazing though because it'd mean getting their music in Smash.
Another SF rep.
They most likely don't. Or if they do, they don't think it matters.
Black Orchid from Killer Instinct. OG KI blocky Black Orchid.
Nintendo nostalgia to the max. Those sound effects. The plasma tigers.

Posts like this is what makes me want the characters even more. Give me Terry moments pls
i'd legit delete my nintendo account and open a new one if a MK rep gets in.
Fulgore from Killer Instinct has the Nintendo cred with the original KI selling over 3 million copies on the SNES and being one of Nintendo's best selling games on the system. He was also a frequent mascot for Nintendo in the 90s just like Banjo & Kazooie were.
Fulgore is also a villain to contrast Ryu, Ken, and Terry. Him being an evil cyborg is also a far cry from other robots on the roster like Mega Man and R.O.B. Fulgore fights with a unique set of tools including claws, laser beams, and stealth camouflage as opposed to being a regular martial artist.
Killer Instinct would provide unique additions to the fighting game representation in Smash with things like combo breakers and ultra combos. The roster of the series ranges from a werewolf to an ice alien, a man made of fire, a dinosaur, and a pirate skeleton just to name a few. This would make for very inventive spirit battles. Plus getting Robin Beanland and Mick Gordon to do remixes in Smash of the amazing series music is too good an opportunity to pass up.
Doom Marine.
Read more to find out why. You won't BELIEVE the answer.
There is an actual, honest to God history with Nintendo, and I'm not just talking about SNES and N64 Doom games.
John (and Adrian?) Carmack basically wanted to work with Nintendo but got turned down. They made their own working version of Mario 3 all by themselves and showed it to Nintendo. Nintendo wasn't interested. This had a major effect on ID/basically the gaming industry.
Then you can bring up SNES and N64 Doom, every game in the series (cept PS Doom) now being on Switch, the next entry in the series releasing this year, and Doom being a major force in the gaming industry.
The correct answer is the Doom Marine.
He's one of my top choices, though not my number 1. He absolutely makes sense though and I'd flip out if it happened.
(Personally my top choices are Goemon, Double Dragon, Contra, Ghouls n Ghosts, and Ninja Gaiden)

carlosrox It's strictly fighting game characters
Lmao I can't understand that thought at all
We'll see about that in the future!

Are Siegfried and Nightmare the same person? (I last played SCIV, my lore is rusty.) I wonder if they could make it a two-in-one character with a transformation gimmick, like how Zelda and Sheik originally transformed.
Kind of. Initially, Siegfried got possessed by Soul Edge and turned into Nightmare. Then he broke free from Soul Edge's influence and Nightmare reformed as a separate entity that's basically just Soul Edge's own spirit using Siegfried's fighting style as a baseline.
You COULD do a transformation gimmick but it would honestly be easier to just go the echo fighter route. After Soul Calibur purged the darkness from him Sieg never really looked back.
Any anime fighter character. Give me crazy anime fighter movesets. Sol Badguy, Ragna the Bloodedge, Heart Aino, Hyde Kido. Basically any ArcSys rep lol
Alternatively, Nightmare would be very cool and stand out against the rest of the roster.

It's not officially banned, but not a single game in the series has ever released there.
That makes it impossible for MK to be in Smash by default.
I dare somebody to come up with a better case for a character than the Doom Marine (I don't like calling him Doom Slayer).
Doom Marine isn't a fighting game character, so he doesn't really factor into this thread at all.
The version of MK we see in the West, is banned from release in Japan. The games can only see release if a censored version is put together. NRS didn't make one, so as a result, MK11 was never released in Japan.
I don't think that's accurate.
Bah I read this all wrong then.
I'll go with Heihachi or Kazuya then. A Samurai Shodown character would be great too.
