Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC: 9 Echo Fighters Nintendo MUST Add

1. Cloud Strife - Zack Fair

Super Smash Bros Snake
Square Enix

Truly, it should be Cloud serving as the Echo Fighter for Zack, given the two characters' tragic history, but hey-ho, such is the popularity of Final Fantasy VII that having its brooding blonde-haired hero serve as Smash's Square Enix rep was always going to be the obvious choice. 08000521251

The good news, though, is that aesthetics aside, the two former puppets of SOLDIER perform identically in combat, right down to using Angeal's body-sized Buster Sword as their trademark weapon of choice.

Really, the only radical change necessary to satisfy Crisis Core fans would be replacing Cloud's Omnislash Limit Break with Zack's Digital Mind Wave, itself a roulette-style special attack able to copy the signature moves of any he's seen in battle. With Sephiroth's inclusion as a Smash character looking ever less likely to happen, having Zack randomly perform his, or any of the other legendary SOLDIER 1st Class members Limit Breaks would be the next best thing and terrific fan service.
