Super Smash Bros. - 10 Characters Fans Demand Be Included
9. Bayonetta
Not long ago, it would have been ridiculous to suggest Bayonetta as a character in Super Smash Bros. The first game in the series was originally only available on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, before Nintendo shocked the gaming world in 2012 by announcing that Bayonetta 2 would be a Wii U exclusive. The series is well-known for its violence and highly sexualised characters - both of which are normally shut down by the Nintendo censorship department - however, the Wii U release of Bayonetta 2 opened the door for the shape-shifting witch to make her Smash Bros. debut, unleashing her diverse arsenal of weapons on the rest of the characters. Whether its using guns to dish out damage from afar or using her magic to conjure chainsaws and iron maidens, theres no shortage of potential moves for Bayonetta to employ, and while incorporating Witch Time into her moveset may be more difficult, a simplified version of it would enable Bayonetta to repel and counter with a similar attack to that already employed by Little Mac.
