Remember that character? Smash Bros. Rejects

by Alexander Sliwinski { May 17th 2008 at 9:22AM }

It's quite surprising that a new Super Smash Bros. doesn't come out twice a year, considering how much money Nintendo could make off the franchise (not that the company needs the cash). However, as the video above shows, eventually Smash Bros. would start scraping the bottom of the nostalgia barrel for characters.

Some forgettable characters are mentioned like Bayou Billy and the Noid ... actually, the Noid was awesome! Anyway, we actually wouldn't mind seeing one of the Battletoads in a Super Smash Bros. game. Can you think of any characters who'd be perfect for Super Smash Bros. Rejects? Dig deep into the recesses of your memory and check the periphery for games you barely remember.

Mega Man! Seriously. People keep bringing him up (I'm using "him" loosely) but it's for very good reason. Mega Man is one of the most iconic video game characters that I can remember, and his abilities/power-ups seem like they would work very well with the SSB style of gameplay.

But other than that, maybe the Duck Hunt dog.

how bout the Toxic Avenger??? lol of better yet how bout the fat Mario Look-a-like from Ice hockey??? that would be classic.. Would you Like a Cock-Meat Sandwhich.. Chris??... (Herbert the Pervert Voice)

Noshino @ May 17th 2008 11:35AM

Rockman would be insane on a brawler, if implemented on SSBB, they should give you the option to copy the attack of an enemy that you defeat! that way he isn't overpowered (or underpowered like he has in many games)

CJLopez @ May 17th 2008 2:14PM

damn you, i was gonna say megaman also, gotta think of someone else, xD

Snatcher (MDF - Halo Ring) @ May 18th 2008 2:16AM

Am I the only one that played the crap out of Yo Noid!?! You kids dont remember those NES games. Like Yo Noid from Dominos or the Spot from 7up.

Michael Jackson, based on his persona from Moonwalker.

The Mega Drive version of Smooth Criminal would be his theme song and the smash ball should be a little white child. If I could kick Toon Link in the balls with Michael Jackson I think I'll be satisfied, as would he, probably.

TheOverlord#2 can has Mario Karts?(MK:2578-3517-9859) @ May 17th 2008 10:01AM

Hey! Don't make fun of Toon Link!

And...If Michael Jackson was in SSB, wouldn't he be Space Michael from Space Channel 5?
(Thanks Wikipedia :P)

Farseer (GDI) @ May 17th 2008 11:41AM

If Michael Jackson were in Brawl, then I would almost certainly use Toon Link, Ness, or Lucas against him. I seem to recall that Michael Jackson has fatal weakness to little boys...

tc @ May 17th 2008 9:50AM

ah if worse came to worse Nintendo could just invent a couple more Kongs!

TheOverlord#2 can has Mario Karts?(MK:2578-3517-9859) @ May 17th 2008 9:58AM

No more Kongs!
I wanna play WaPeach & WaDaisy!!

Captain_Hairy @ May 17th 2008 10:09AM

Battletoads? Megaman?!

BE SATED, SEETHING MASSES.

PeterBeck @ May 17th 2008 10:12AM

What I find funny is that the more recognizable characters they did were SEGA ones.

Also, I know that there's a number of people out there who would kill for Bayou Billy in any new game.

SoCoolCurt (PSN: KillaKornbread) @ May 18th 2008 12:36AM

you know i noticed that too. when i have my friends over for Brawl, i was so surprised to hear them keep asking "what game is he from?" they all knew Sonic and Snake though. i guess its just me being a nerd that i know who all of them are.

valdemiro @ May 17th 2008 10:14AM

Bayou Billy! Holy crap I forgot about that game, it was fun at the time.

I'd toss in Athena from that awful AWFUL game of the same name.

Martez @ May 17th 2008 10:17AM

Bomberman. Doi.

Geek in Heels @ May 17th 2008 10:24AM

Bub and Bob from Bubble Bobble!

äsdf @ May 17th 2008 10:31AM

How dare them! Toejam and Earl are not rejects Q_Q

voodoo_craig @ May 17th 2008 11:17AM

Damn right!

Same goes for Earthworm Jim, I'm pretty sure HE rejected Nintendo for an appearance in the game.

t_m @ May 17th 2008 11:45AM

indeed. T&E rocked.

how about those annoying monkeys from monkeyball? titing stages, and the chance to TRY and kick them off the world!

SWAT Kats are back! @ May 17th 2008 1:39PM

agree, they could've picked worse rejects than Toe Jam & Big Rappin' Earl

Dovi @ May 21st 2008 8:04PM

Geno from Super Mario RPG

Austin @ May 17th 2008 12:16PM

Thank you!

Maverick Saturn @ May 17th 2008 10:48AM

Kratos and Master Chief :)

Finally Kratos will be able to fight Link and Master Chief vs Samus ^^

ScottyGEE @ May 17th 2008 10:57AM

Masterchief: Hold B to dual wield Home-Run-Bats

Maverick Saturn @ May 17th 2008 11:19AM

Lol, what about Kratos, continously bash 'X' to crush your opponent after grabbing them.

Russ Tundra @ May 17th 2008 10:49AM

@TheOverlord#2 you just want to play with your Wiimote to those games... eww. Peach & Daisy?? How bout Claire Redfield or Jill Valentine??? atleast they look like real people.

SoulBlade @ May 17th 2008 10:54AM

Billy from Double Dragon
One of the Contra dudes
Kage (Legend of Kage)
The dude from Kung Fu
Playable Kraid + Ridley

There's always more I'd want

SoulBlade @ May 17th 2008 10:58AM

Actually they should take some of their assist trophies and make them playable characters too - Little Mac ftw!

Cesaria (MKW:2621-2994-1376) @ May 17th 2008 10:54AM

I want Danny Glover in the next one. Yes, I know he isn't a game character. It doesn't matter to me.

Shmil @ May 17th 2008 12:47PM

It'd be nice to see Danny Glover but I doubt we will. He's getting too old for this shit.

Nick Ritch @ May 17th 2008 4:43PM

I'd prefer Carl Weathers. I hear he gives pretty inexpesive acting classes.

Dave Silva @ May 18th 2008 1:35AM

Guess what?

You could play as him in Lethal Weapon for the SNES!

The Beej @ May 17th 2008 10:55AM

From the Nintendo roster, my vote goes to Candy Kong. But if we can get anybody, you have to give shame props to the quintessential shitty game character - Bubsy.
