What's next, Goku? Shrek?? BABY NUT???
Imagine an alternate universe where Nintendo dropped out of the console arms race and became a multiplatform developer
Perhaps we'd have Super Smash Bros. for Xbox One, featuring Banjo & Kazooie as a guest fighter. And Super Smash Bros. for PlayStation 4, featuring Ratchet & Clank.

In theory, yes. I imagine if Nintendo went third party, Smash would be a much smaller game content-wise then it is now.
For any of you who are interested in watching Arcade Pit and are also huge Super Scope fans, I'll just let you know that the first appearance of Battle Clash music was in the beta episode #4, where the enemy introduction theme plays at about 7:15; it also plays again at around 10:45.
Meanwhile, the first episode which actually has a Battle Clash challenge is beta #6 at around 38:24.

No wait it gets better
There'd also be Super Smash Bros. for Personal Computers, featuring the Heavy Weapons Guy from Team Fortress 2 as a guest fighter
(at least ned would be happy)
This is stupid, they would never put Banjo & Kazooie in Smash Bros.
i still can't believe Todd MacFarlane got to design the world's worst OC and got it put into Soul Calibur 2
We can go cursed-er.
Super Smash Bros. x Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale.
It still baffles me to this day
That Spawn movie's coming, guys, trust me
It's still coming
Super Smash Bros. for iPhone and iPad but not iPod, exclusively featuring Alucard and Simon Belmont
Super Smash Bros. for Google Stadia, exclusively featuring netcode
Super Smash Bros. for teletext, exclusively featuring an elephant with cheese instead of a head

Spawn's a goober but he does get points for meeting the Joker in MK11 and immediately deciding he's going to murder him as violently as possible.
(I actually think Spawn is basically alright and is clearly intended for edgy teenagers instead of grown ass boomers like myself)
I am convinced that when Namco asked him for an OC that he just dug the first reject he could grab out of the waste basket.
No no it's even better. Sonic defeats him because the Spawnmower has to stop and make a dramatic pose every few panels.
He's better than most Liefeld creations, I'll give him that
That and the "My Soul Still Burns" comment
That gets me
My favorite OC is Roy and Ike. It's pretty cool that Sakurai could make up such cool characters out of thin air.
I know absolutely nothing about Spawn, but for most of my life I've been convinced that Todd McFarlane made Venom to be basically just be Spawn in the Marvel universe.
Liefeld made a bunch of lame ripoffs of other superheroes but somewhere along the line he accidentally made Badrock, who in defiance of tradition was a cool and original idea for a superhero and who earnestly embodied the unique aspects of the new verse Liefeld was creating.
If Liefeld wasn't the lamest asshole on the planet that could have gone somewhere.
Man I didn't even know there was a character designed by Todd McFarlane in Soul Calibur 2 (that wasn't Spawn over on Xbox, obviously)
I played SC2 a lot with my brother back then and I barely even remember Necrid lol. I assume he wasn't popular considering they didn't bother bringing him back in future games.

I think some of the PlayStation characters would work in Smash Bros. Namely the more cartoony ones
i believe MacFarlane owns Necrid too, so they likely didn't want to renegotiate rights for a character no one really liked anyways
his general visual flair and playstyle was revisited with the much more positively received Algol and Azwel too, so Necrid is thankfully just a distant memory now
Man this talk about character relevancy makes me worried K. Rool's return is only temporary.
Should we mention 3rd parties? A lot of them have been featured lately, even if poor Castelvania gets mobile games. And if you count Terry cameos as ok, thenisnt Banjo & Kazooie one of the lesser 3rd parties recently.

I just want a Soul Calibur with a big budget so they don't have to use the same tired assets.
Hopefully SEGA is making a AAA Virtua Fighter sequel. LMAO

PaRappa and Sir Dan would be the only two I would want, personally.
Well let's see here...
These would probably look alright in Smash: Parappa, Ratchet & Clank, Kat, Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper, Sackboy, Sir Daniel, Toro...Fat Princess
The others...well...Granted if Snake can work I suppose someone like Raiden could, Heihachi too, but the likes of Nathan Drake, Cole, Killzone guy, Kratos, etc all kinda lean a little too hard into the "realistic AAA western character" look that'd be pretty jarring in Smash.

If Nintendo can't or doesn't want to renegotiate for Banjo, I imagine they'll keep K. Rool to make old Rare fans happy.
I also blindly trust Hyle of DKVine's source that a new DK game is in the pipeline.
There was a period in time where he got replaced by a white guy named Jim.
This also happened to Shadowhawk.
imagine namco giving something an actual budget that isn't tekken
funny joke
Nintendo trying to make DK work behind the scenes? Like that would ever happen.
I mean if we want to go crazy for those theories, a full 3D DK ala 64 with return of K. Rool might be possibility. That seems ideal for K. Rool's return. Ofc if core Nintendo just wants to ignore him then...
I remember watching one episode when it first aired and I felt the same way.
I didn't even consider Crash since he's Activision, but him too
JOEL
NEEDS THIS
*guns down everyone in his vicinity but it's okay because he has a child to protect*
It's basically alright and only really notable for those reasons.
I'm more about The Maxx.
Kratos maybe, but yeah Nathan Drake or Cole in Smash Bros would look a little off
