6 More Fighters From Video Games I Want In Super Smash Bros Ultimate

With the last Nintendo Direct for Super Smash Bros Ultimate we know have the full roster of playable fighters for the new Smash Bros (excluding DLC fighters), bringing are total to 74. From Super Mario Bros to Sonic the Hedgehog we got a ton of great fighters to play as, but here are some additional ones I would of loved to see in the new Super Smash Bros Ultimate in no particular order.


1.
Shadow The Hedgehog

I was one of many who thought Shadow The Hedgehog would of gotten in as an echo fighter of Sonic seeing as how they are so similar, in fact I made a post about it here (What If Shadow The Hedgehog Was In Super Smash Bros Ultimate?). I still think it would make a great addition and would of loved to play as him in the game.


2.
Geno

Geno is a one off character from Mario first rpg adventure, Super Mario RPG Legend of the Seven Stars. Geno would end up being a long range fighter with machine gun projectiles and a double rocket fist just like in the game he came from. A lot of people want him in Super Smash Bros Ultimate even though he has only been in one game and I would love to see his return as well.


3.
Dixie Kong

From the Donkey Kong series I would love to see this female monkey in the new Super Smash Bros Ultimate game. While she could be somewhat similar to Diddy Kong she would not qualify as an echo as she would have some unique moves in her arsenal. For instance her aerial recovery would be more similar to that of Link's and I would give her Tiny Kong's cross bow which would be faster and travel longer than Diddy Kong's. Her other standard attacks would also be different from Diddy Kong's as well to use her hair.


4.
Plusle And Minun

At first I didn't want to put in another Pikachu like character but than I thought of the duo fighter Plusle and Minun and yes I said duo fighter. Plusle and Minun would have some moves similar to that of Pikachu and Pichu but would work like the Ice Climbers giving than a moveset that works together like that. When I think of them together than I could come up with some interesting ideas, but that would have to wait for another time.


5.
Knuckle Joe

One of my favorite copy abilities from the Kirby series is Fighter Kirby which you get from Knuckle Joe and I liked him in the anime as well.

6.
Spyro the Dragon

To be honest I don't know much about Spyro the Dragon other than I want him in Super Smash Bros Ultimate and I want them to port his games to the Nintendo Switch so I can get them.

What If Shadow The Hedgehog Was In Super Smash Bros Ultimate?

With the final roster of characters for Super Smash Bros Ultimate finally revealed (not including DLC fighters) it was surprising for many that Shadow The Hedgehog was not included as a fighter for Smash Bros, in fact Shadow the Hedgehog wasn't even an easily made echo of Sonic that many people had thought he would be.

In this post I'll be posting how Shadow would work in Smash as an echo fighter of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Shadow was originally made as a sort of echo of Sonic in the first place so it wouldn't be hard to put Sonic's moveset on him, but before I go we go into how the moves would be changed lets first go into his stats.

Faster Than Sonic The Hedgehog

In the car driving minigame in Sonic Adventure 2 Battle (I have not played the Sonic Racing games other than Sonic R), Shadow's car was actually faster than Sonic's and I would want to use that for Shadow. So my Shadow echo would be faster than Sonic but his acceleration takes some time, he would be able to turn around while keeping most of his speed but if he stops or is stopped he would have to build up speed again. However Shadow's hover shoes means a new run animation and less traction meaning he doesn't turn very quickly. On small stages it would be hard to get Shadow up to top speed so he would have a disadvantage on those stages.

Special Attacks

Standard B Homing Attack - Unlike Sonic who simply hits one opponent once, Shadow would hit multiple times in the attack and then do knockback on the last hit.

Side B Spin Dash - Does more damage and more knockback (but horizontally) than Sonic but Shadow stops immediately on contact with the enemy instead of continuing forward (even if the opponent shielded). The move will have less recovery frames than Sonic but if attacked from the front during the attack Shadow will receive 1.25 times damage and 1.15 knockback.

Down B Other Spin Dash - The movement speed of this starts slow but gets faster just like how Shadow runs, the faster the speed Shadow is going the more damage the move will do. The rest is pretty much the same as Sonic's.

Up B Spring Jump - Similar to Sonic's move but doesn't have as much high, but unlike Sonic's Spring Jump, Shadow's Spring Jump will keep Shadows Horizontal momentum.

Final Smash Chaos Spear & Chaos Blast - Press B to create a powerful explosion with great knockback  and damage around you but if you hold or press a direction on the control stick Shadow will instead use Chaos Spear which fires a blast in one of eight directions and does less damage and knockback than Chaos Blast but has far greater range.

Other Changes

I also always thought of Shadow as having more strength than Sonic and would love to have that in the game as well giving him more KO options than Sonic.
Shadow jumps would be smaller than Sonic's.
Because of Shadow's hover shoes he would fall slower than Sonic but that makes him more susceptible to juggling.
Shadow's running movements makes him harder to use.

Smash Direct List What I got Right and Wrong - What Do I Think About It

Last time I made a list of what I thought and hoped we see in the recent Super Smash Bros Direct, let's see what I got right and wrong

Skull Kid as playable fighter 





A lot of people thought that Skull Kid From Zelda Majora's Mask was going to be playable in the upcoming Super Smash Bros Ultimate. We thought this as we thought we cracked the Sakuri Code, but it looks like we were wrong.

Shadow the Hedgehog as echo for Sonic



With echos now being a thing we thought of what characters could have easy echos, and it was quite simple, just choose a already implemented fighter and then find another character who is practically the same in body and method of combat, and boom a echo is found. While I could only find a few echos (it's harder than you think when you keep the echo rules in mind), but Shadow was one that would fit perfectly, biggest change would be run animation. 

Stage Creator with more things to use than before and with themes based on the fighters instead of generic themes



This was a disappointment to me as I love thinking and creating my own levels, I'm still holding out for some sort of stage creator for the game.

Online Demo similar to what Splatoon did before release


Well this worked for Splatoon

Return of Smash Run with online play 
My favorite addition from Smash 4 was a no show at the direct, although it seems that the pieces required for it are still their.

 What I got right;

Online details
It was pretty much required for them to talk about the online mode in this direct so it was an easy pick for the list.

Details of the unknown mode believed to be called spirits at this time
It was pretty much required for them to talk about the online mode in this direct so it was an easy pick for the list.

Another new fighter to bring the roster up to an even 70 fighters not including echos
I felt Nintendo would want to avoid the number 69 so having one more newcomer non echo was required, at the time of the listings I forgot about putting down the Pokemon rep which I would of said Incineroar as I saw a lot of potential for move he could do in the game far more than Decidueye.
