If Super Smash Bros. was taken off of Nintendo exsclusive list and thrown on the PS2 and xbox, who should be in it?

Obviously some Nintendo characters have to stay, like Mario and link.

Its obvious that Master Cheif will be on every list, but what other characters do you think should be in it?

im thinking we would see jehute from zone of the enders, solid snake, prolly one of hunter the reckoning guys, maybe a brute force charector, not sure which ones...

Edit: i know this sounds sutpid but after thinking about it id like to see a starcraft charector on there like a marine or ghost or something...

or Kerrigan, who can turn into infected kerrigan with different moves (like the zelda/sheik character)

also, Sam Fischer from Splinter Cell
and Ursula from Gladius
and maybe Sonic the hedgehog and tails
the ninja turtles would kick ass too.
and reptile from the mortal kombat series

it prob. be really crappy, but maybe Tony Hawk.

I'd also like to see Wario. they should have put him in melee instead of Dr. mario.

Using disney characters from kingdom hearts would be cool too. To see link put his sword through Jafars head...oh...if only. Plus being able to fly with Peter Pan would be cool. Seeing Sonic get the shit kicked out of him by the little mermaid? fun stuff

I see no need for nintendo to hand over the licensed characters. There's enough well known, cross-platform characters out there to make a fighter. If they were to throw some of the characters you all mentioned into SSB, it'd just look goofy, out of place and unbalanced. They just need to be original and come up with their own gig. Perhaps something like a sequel to Ehergiez would be a better game to compare what the PS2/XBOX could pull off.

There already is something similar to this on the PS2. Hudson, Konami, and Takara (Japanese Toy Line) shared their licenses on the Konami developed game Dream Mix TV: World Fighters. The lineup was pretty much dead-on with what I would pick from those franchises, the only problem was the game was pretty mediocre, and lacked much of what makes Smash Brothers good, the depth and the imagination.

The characters from Hudson are:
Bomberman
Momotarou
Higgins (Adventure Island)
Hugo (Bloody Roar)
Manjimaru (Kabuki Clash on Neo)
Somebody who I can't recognize but might be from the Momotarou game

The Konami Characters:
Simon Belmont (Castlevania)
The mascot from Jikkyou Power Pro Baseball
Twinbee
Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid)
Moa (Gradius)

Takara Characters:
Licca (basically the japanese equivalent of Barbie)
That kid from Beyblade
OPTIMUS PRIME (Transformers)
Megatron (Transformers)
Microman (Micronauts)
Someone that I can't recognize

As Darktoaster suggested, a game like this would seem out of place and unbalanced, and thats just what happened with this.

And axeing Dr Mario in favor of Wario...ABSURD! Dr Mario may be very similar to Mario, but I actually prefer him to Mario. Only problem is Dr's forward smash in error isn't a meteor, whereas Mario's is. If I were to get rid of some characters from Melee, I'd drop Ice Climbers, Captain Falcon, and Mewtwo in favor of Wario, Waluigi, and a Koopa/Paratroopa or Shy guy

EDIT: forward smash in 'error'? Did I actually type that? I'm getting dumber and dumber by the day...error=air

It'll never happen, but it would be cool to see Square characters duke it out.

koopa troopas, although kickass characters, would be poor in a fighting game. It would basiclly end up being a mini-bowser.

dropping mewtwo is an excellent idea. it is too slow and the moves are either too weak, or too powerful.
Iceclimbers suck as well, if one gets knocked off, you lose half of your moves.


Anyway, I know that this kind of game would never really get made, but it is kinda fun to think about characters from diferent games beating the shit out of each other.

You mean like how they had several FF7 characters in Ehrgeiz?

I dont know what you all are talking about, just cuz you suck with certain characters in SSBM, doesnt mean they need to be gotten rid of. I am good with the Ice Climbers and just cuz you lose one doesnt mean that you lose half your moves, they just lose their power. Also, the reason for characters like Mewtwo is because they are fun to play. So next time you decide to say that a character sucks, make sure you have played everyone that uses that character and make sure you can beat them all.

i would rather see other companies give rights of their characters to nintendo to include in a new smash bros game. like some sega genesis era characters that were around at the same time as the SNES when most of the nintendo characters were introduced. sonic hte hedgehog etc. and put that pussy crash bandicoot in there i would love to wail on his lame ass.

hahaha or better yet, nintendo should make up effigies of characters on other platforms. you know, like crash bandicoot or sly cooper but different enough not to get sued.

koopa troopa and shyguy wouldn't be too bad in a fighting game if they had some badass special moves or something. but link'll still wail their ass

I never said that I wasn't good with those characters, its just that I find them the most boring to play as. I usually just do random anyways. Also, I chose them, because they aren't as easily recognizable as Nintendo figureheads. Most people haven't played the Ice Climber's game. I STILL have no idea about Mewtwo, all I know is he is a pokemon. Until Melee, I had no idea that Captain Falcon was in the Fzero games. Plus getting rid of Ice Climbers means you don't have that godawful stage of theirs.

As an aside, if you like the one player controlling 2 fighters, I would replace Ice Climbers with Bub and Bob from the Bubble Bobble games. However, I don't see Taito dropping those licenses any time soon, as their still milking them after nearly 20 years.

That game was published by Square anyway.

I was thinking more along the lines of throwing Square characters in to Super Smash Bothers. That is, create an arcade-style fighter game from characters that aren't really arcade-style fighters. Ehrgeiz was never a very popular game anyway. The FF7 characters almost seemed to be thrown in as an afterthought.

I dont know about the hypothetical PS2/xbox bullshit. However, in regard to the ACTUAL Smash Bros, I'll gladly kick anyone's ass with Mewtwo (or Bowser, if you like it rough). How about it?
