Who do you Want in Super Smash Bros. – 2018 Edition!

Sabin Rene Figaro (Final Fantasy VI)

A brawler of the highest caliber, my constant pick ever since third-party characters were allowed entry, and a man who got his start on the Super Nintendo, unlike Final Fantasy’s actual ambassador in the series. Sabin provides size, strength, and a deep pool of fun Blitz techniques that could translate well into special attacks.

Make him big like Ganondorf but agile like Little Mac, and you’d have the true Sabin recreation that Super Smash Bros. has secretly always desired.

Shame he’s not more popular among fans. We’d probably get Squall or some lame sword-swinger if Square Enix ever donated again… but then again, that’s a nice thought.

Red Arremer/Firebrand (Ghosts ‘n Goblins)

Capcom has now donated both Ryu and Mega Man, collectively representing the company’s two biggest classic franchises. However, Capcom found its true break into the gaming world thanks to an arcade classic called Ghosts ‘n Goblins, and while its protagonist Arthur would be a fine choice to represent Capcom in the ring, the series iconic sub-boss Red Arremer still enjoys an even larger and more loyal fanbase to this day.

Firebrand, as we call him in North America, has starred in his own series of classic platformers, including two eternal favorites of mine Gargoyle’s Quest and Demon’s Crest, and most recently appeared in Marvel vs Capcom 3 Ultimate, proving he’s got the fighting game chops for the big leagues.

Tap into his various forms for special attacks or transformations, and he would be a spectacular and versatile fighter in Super Smash Bros.

Lyndis (Fire Embem: The Blazing Blade)

The last thing Super Smash Bros. needs is another generic, sword-swinging Fire Emblem protagonist. They’re all built the same way, hit with similar techniques, and all that separates them are their weight and damage focal points.

Lyndis does swing a sword, but with proper direction, she could provide far more variety than the standard Fire Emblem character build. Floaty jumps, lightweight, swift attacks, and teleportation could separate her from the crowd. She’s more of a martial arts sword wielder than the blunt trauma knights who appear in the game.

I understand that Lyndis is already an assist trophy, but she’s the best protagonist from the best “modern” Fire Emblem game and deserves better. Hector is a decent choice for a fighter, as well.
