Or a Gundam
You are allowed to put one non vidya character into Smash
Nicholas Nguyen
Ethan Morgan
CONFIRMED
Chase King
Saber, Unlimited Blade Works incarnation.
Ok, technically she debuted in a game but she's known for the anime. She's not too mainstream so it won't alienate anyone, but she's popular enough to represent anime as a whole.
Brayden Garcia
s/he is vidya tho
Easton Howard
Michael Jackson
Levi Brown
>down-B is changing forms (Sword, Rod, Axe, Gun)
>Sword is jack of all trades, Rod has greater distance, Axe is much stronger but has basically zero distance, Gun has projectiles and is weaker than Rod but makes up for it by being much faster
>final smash is Liner Form's Train Slash
Hard call between him and Kuuga (didn't want to do anybody else since I figured those two were the perfect balance of just enough form gimmickry without being a bloated mess) but I feel like Kuuga would have to have some charged attacks gimmick for Rising forms on top of the normal form changes and it'd just get too messy at that point.
