I'll never understand why MC is ever considered more appropriate, considering Banjo WAS a Nintendo character.
Would Banjo or Master Chief be a better Microsoft character in Smash Bros?

Banjo and Kazooie are from a fairly uninspired 3D platformer that relied too much on pads that let you use your special abilities. I know that it is a classic a lot of people love, but I'm not a big fan.
Master Chief would be a wild pick from left field, but I like Halo and would enjoy sticking people with plasma grenades in Smash.

Sakurai doesn't like to use straight up guns in Smash. See: Solid Snake.
As silly as this sounds. The Arbiter would make a better fit for Smash than the Chief would.
B/K has the better history and move set potential. Plus that music? Oh yeah, give me some remixes of that shit.

Chief would be absolutely awesome, but I mean, obviously it's Banjo. Chief isn't even number 2 either. Minecraft Steve/Alex is above him for sure.
Back in March, I posted this thread back when Smash Ultimate first got announced (As Smash Switch)
https://www.resetera.com/threads/ba...h-bros-switch-is-it-actually-realistic.29019/
After the Direct, Smash Ultimate truly feels Ultimate and it looks like Sakurai is truly listening to all the fan wishes with Ridley, Daisy, Simon and King K. Rool as well as Cloud from Smash Wii U/3DS
Banjo & Kazooie is one of the most requested third-party characters now (outside of maybe Goku?) and them being in the game would cause massive reactions because not only is it a long requested character that has history with Nintendo, but it's also a Microsoft character.
What do you guys think?

Yep. They've always had a spot, just never the chance to fill it.
Arbiter even got a slot in KI, so it's fair to say he's more immediately fit as a fighting character. But of course Chief could use melee combat (fists, sword, hammer), a rocket launcher, grenades. They could easily make him work and he's far more... ugh... "iconic".
The thing is, Snake occupies the exact gameplay niche Chief would.
It is, but doesn't MS own minecraft? And isn't there a minecraft switch version?
I don't know if I can say for certain (I voted yes though lol) but I really hope they make it in. They were supposed to be in Melee, so being in Smash is the legacy they never got a chance to have!
Is there an official petition out there or something? I think if you got one of those and the number of signees got really large that would push the issue more to the forefront.
Right.
MS allowing Sakurai to include Banjo and Kazooie in the roster would be hype af, but Master Chief getting in would be an unprecedented curve ball.
Personally I'd love see all three characters.
Master Chief would be a terrible Smash character, it's not even funny. He would be so damn bland. Banjo all the way!
I mean Cloud isn't Nintendo either. Cloud was pretty much Sony's most well-loved character of the PS1 era. Master Chief is the most well-loved character of the OG Xbox era. So adding in Master Chief makes as much sense to me as Cloud. I don't mind if he's in, but I would prefer Banjo more and I think he deserves it more too.
I admit I never played with Bayo in the latest game. Does she use actual bullets? Or are they laser-ified? I feel like Bayo's existence floats close enough to the magical world that she could skirt by with this.
MC. It's not going to happen but just imagine the possibilities if Halo DS had been completed and eventually released..
In the same way that literally every character is 'just some guy/fox/dog/girl/whatever'
This is reductive to a degree that just makes it look salty.
Master Chief makes no sense, but that's what would make it amazing. Banjo fits better though.
EDIT: and yeah, Minecraft steve/alex is the best actual choice for ALL reasons.
Ive never owned ab Xbox, or played a Halo game in my life, but Banjo over Master Chief sounds insane to me.
MC likely gets an entirely new subset of people (Microsoft loyalists) to at the very least, check the game out. Maybe buy a Switch, maybe even join the FGC. Banjo doea... what? The number of people who haven't gotten SSB yet because Banjo of all people isn't in it, can probably be counted on one hand.

They should go crazy and have Chief, Steve, Banjo, and James Bond (with all actors likenesses of course)
Then they can release GoldenEye for both XBX and Switch and everyone wins
I would buy all the Amiibos

Could go either way, but I would think that at the moment, their chances have never been more in their favor, with Nintendo and MS being kinda chummy here lately.
And hey, if Rare Replay also gets a Switch port out of the deal, that'd be nice.
