The Ultimate Super Smash Bros. Wishlist: Top 10 Unfeatured Characters

Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. has captivated gamers since its inception in 1999, featuring an ever-expanding roster of characters. Despite the breadth of the existing lineup, there are still a number of beloved characters that have not yet made their appearance in the Super Smash arena. Here are the top ten characters that we’d love to see bring their unique abilities to the fray.

1. Crash Bandicoot

Starting the list with a classic, Crash Bandicoot, the iconic protagonist from the eponymous series, would be an exciting addition. With his spin attack, jump shoes, and wumpa fruit, he’s ready to take on anyone that stands in his way.

2. Dante – Devil May Cry

Dante, with his dual pistols Ebony and Ivory and his sword Rebellion, could deliver a thrilling and stylish combat experience. His Devil Trigger could serve as an interesting mechanic, powering up Dante for a short duration.

3. Spyro the Dragon

This charming dragon has fascinated gamers since his debut on the original PlayStation. With a unique moveset involving flame breath, charging, and gliding, Spyro could bring a fresh approach to battles.

4. Lara Croft – Tomb Raider

One of the most iconic characters in gaming history, Lara Croft’s arsenal of weapons, athletic abilities, and problem-solving skills would make her a fascinating character to play.

5. Master Chief – Halo

The face of Xbox’s most popular franchise, Master Chief, would be an interesting addition, offering a wide range of weapons and abilities, including his energy sword, grenades, and a possible Cortana assist feature.

6. Rayman

Rayman, with his ability to throw his fists and his helicopter hair, could bring a unique playstyle. His addition would also mean another much-needed representative from Ubisoft.

7. Shovel Knight

Shovel Knight has already appeared in several other fighting games, making it only fair for him to appear in Super Smash Bros. His unique shovel-based moveset would surely create an exciting battle dynamic.

8. Cuphead

Cuphead, the main character of the notoriously difficult indie darling, would make an exciting addition with his finger gun and various power-ups.

9. Hollow Knight

The protagonist from the critically acclaimed indie game, Hollow Knight, would bring fast-paced and exciting gameplay to Super Smash Bros with his nail arts and spells.

10. Sam Fisher – Splinter Cell

Sam Fisher, the protagonist of the Splinter Cell series, would bring a different flavor to the Super Smash Bros. roster. Renowned for his stealth capabilities, Fisher could employ gadgets and hand-to-hand combat techniques, which could translate into a unique and strategic playstyle in Super Smash Bros.
