User blog:DarkClaw3/Villains for Super Smash Bros. Switch?

So, unless you've been living under a rock for the past few weeks, there's almost no doubt you've head of the new Super Smash Bros. game coming to the Switch. And, much like with the last game (well, really, every game in the series) everybody and their grandma is theorizing just who and how many characters we'll be getting for this new game. The WiiU and 3DS character trailers alone generated more hype than anything else I can recall back in 2014 (we were all screaming with joy when we saw that Mega Man reveal for the first time, don't lie), so we can already expect the next batch of trailers to be just as good, if not better. Hell, we already know the Inklings, who've been requested since the day Splatoon  dropped, are on board this time around, so it seems that Nintendo is fully invested in giving the fans everything they want to see in what is certainty the biggest Smash yet.

So, for fairly obvious reasons, I want to take a look at the kind of villains we can expect to see in the next game.

Bowser
Yeah, this one is as obvious as obvious gets. Bowser is a staple Nintendo character and arguably the most famous video game villain of all time, and was even supposed to be part of the original N64 game, before console limitations pushed him out. Removing Bowser from Smash would be like removing a finger. It would hurt and doesn't make much sense. In all other aspects, there really isn't much about Bowser to change as well. The only thing I need to see is his wedding tux as an alternate skin. That would be cool.

Captain Falcondorf
Another obvious one. Ganondorf/Ganon dates back as early as Bowser, and, while not as popular, still ranks among Nintendo's top villains with flying colors. Still, even with how well known he is, in Smash, he's sadly nothing more than a clone character that saps away everything that was cool and fun about Captain Falcon. If I must be honest, if Ganondorf was any other character, I wouldn't mind seeing him cut from the series, like all the other Melee clones. Even so, the reveal trailer of the game brings up an interesting question about Ganondorf with one seemingly simple detail. You see, Link's design has shifted from his appearance in Twilight Princess to Breath of the Wild. Makes sense, since BotW is easily the more popular game, and it can be assumed that Zelda's design will move in that direction as well. However, in case you don't remember, Ganondorf did not appear in the game, meaning he did not get an updated look as well. So, what does this mean? Is he getting a new design just for Smash? Is he staying the same, because the BotW designs are just alts are something? Is he getting cut? Who really knows at this point. However, if he does get a new design, it would be great for him to get a new, Ganondorfy move set to go with it.
