26 Characters To Consider For The Next Super Smash Bros
Advertisement
The Super Smash Bros franchise burst into the scene out of nowhere in 1999, and has remained a heavy weight in Nintendos game roster ever since. It was one of those rare ideas that few had thought of, but which was recognisably brilliant as soon as you played it; a crossover game bringing all of the best loved Nintendo characters and worlds together in a 2-4 player beat-em-up. Even better, anyone who suspected that the game would be for kids had their doubts quashed when it launched, and against all odds was a fast-paced, surprisingly deep fighter that knocked most of the competition out of the water. With the new WII U Smash Bros title (the 4th in the series) currently in development, we take a look at the likely (and some of the less likely) characters to join the Smash Bros character roster.
26. King K. Rool
25. Krystal

Probability: 55% Another name which was commonly bandied about before Super Smash Bros Brawl (SBBB,) but ultimately didnt make the cut. Krystal may have been introduced in a sub-par game (The Zelda imitation Starfox Adventures,) but shes still one of the coolest characters in the Star Fox universe, and shes a female that surely knows how to fight she has that staff for a reason. She played a part in Star Fox Assault and even made a cameo in SBBB, so heres hoping she joins this time around.
24. Tails/Shadow/Knuckles/Amy
23. Bomberman
22. Rosalina

Probability: 65% Rosalina is the most obvious choice if they are looking to expand the Mario roster. Shes been a star (sorry) character in both Super Mario Galaxy games now, and shes also showed up in Mario Kart, so shes clearly not afraid to get her hands dirty. Furthermore, more female characters would definitely help the franchise achieve some kind of equality. The only question is, do we need another Mario character when we already have Peach, Wario, Yoshi, Luigi, Bowser etc? For a final smash involving the Lumas, my vote is yes.
