(Creative name huh?) A while ago me and brother were playing Smash bros and we were wondering about all the unsung characters (But who hasn't?). So this is my little line up of characters that I thought of from old NES and Sega games.
Rick - Splatter house: He's got got his "Terror mask" and an arsenal of weapons to beat people senseless with.
Simon Belmont - Castlevania: From the legendary blood line of vampire slaying Belmonts comes Simon. With a whip and some holy water Simon can do some damage.
Megaman - Megaman: Mega is in his title, need I say more? If so, Megaman has the ability to absorb powers from defeated foes. That should make things interesting.
Aero - Aero the Acrobat: With his crazy bat antics and acrobatics, this circus bat has got the agility to keep you on your toes.
Ryan - River City Ransom: Well not much to this guy... he just beats up people on the streets till he can get to his girlfriend to save her... lousy choice now that I think about it.
Astyanax - Astyanax: With a suite of armor, a sword, an axe and a spear Astyanax would be hard to move.
Ax Battler - Golden Axe: Ax Battler actually doesn't have an axe... which contradicts his name... but with his sword and his spells he'll tear up his foes.
Double Dragon - Double Dragon: Their names are actually Billy & Jimmy Lee but with combines forces they got the strength of a freakin dragon. Which is why they are... double dragon...
Karnov - Karnov: Well heck if I know anything about Karnov, but if you look at his picture I wouldn't wanna screw with this guy. Would you?
Vectorman - Vectorman: A robot... trashman pretty much but anybody who saves the earth deserves to be in the (2nd) greatest battle of video game characters.
Trojan - Trojan: A post apocolyptic warrior with a sword and impenetrable shield (and a tune that will stick in your head for years to come) comes Trojan.
Bill Rizer - Contra: One Contra member short but still, Bill can be challenger with his crazy flippinig skills, spread shot and... that one shot that does loops.
Blobert - A boy and his blob: Trouble on Blobonia: Yeah that's right, the jellybean eating blob from Blobonia joins the fray. Enter Blobert.
Rash - Battletoads: Now a toad that can make a fist twice the size of his own body or turn into a wrecking ball I think deserves a spot on these grounds.
Pitfall Harry - Pitfall: Yeah I bet none of you knew his name. Well he has a whip and some jumping skills... thats about it.
Radd Spencer - Bionic Commando: Heck yeah! He saved Super Joe and stopped the Albatross now he's lending a hand (hehe) here.
Axel Stone - Streets of Rage: A rogue police officer fighting crime on his own time. Now fighting here. Couldn't think of anything to say about this dude. That's all I know about him.
Rygar - Rygar: Gotta be honest... I don't know a thing about this dude either, but from what I've seen he looks like he can handle himself in some scraps.
ToeJam & Earl - ToeJam & Earl: JAMMIN! Or so it said on the front of the box... But this duo can... do somethig I'm sure besides finding a random door. I don't know what it is yet though.
Centurion - Altered Beast: I probably should have picked someone with a name or who was alive atleast, but I couldn't leave out the altered beast. Now we're Arlnold!
Thats about it... I had others on the list that just wouldn't fit in the picture or were to modern for me. If you're wonering they included:
Arthur - Ghosts and Goblins (Couldn't fit in the picture)
Ralf/Clark - The Ikari Warriors (Couldn't find a picture)
Mike Jones - Star Tropics (Couldn't find a picture)
Super Joe - Commando (Already had Radd Spencer)
Crash - Crash Bandicoot (To modern)
Glover - Glover (To modern)
Parapa - Parapa the Rapa (To modern) (Not my idea either)
T-G
A lot of these characters will sadly never make it into Smash Bros., because they are not owned by Nintendo or Sega. They are owned by third parties like Konami or Capcom.
ReplyDeleteI still don't know how, or why, they got Snake for the latest Smash, but don't expect to get Cloud Strife into any of these titles any time soon.
By the way, according to you, what is the best battle of video game characters?
