Let's say Sakurai/Nintendo personally contacted you after announcing FP2 to offer you the opportunity to decide which characters would be in the all-women FP2. Let's also say Min-Min was already decided on by Nintendo so you have 5 more to decide on, of which at least 2 must be first party characters. For third-parties, you can have more than one character from the same company, but not from the same series (also applies for first-party series). Who would you have picked?
For me...
1. Elma (Xenoblade Chronicles X)
Planned as a tie-in to promote XCDE, even if she isn't in that game. She fights with dual guns and katanas as well as her special attacks Shadowstrike and Ghost Factory.
2. Impa (Legend of Zelda)
Planned as a tie-in to Age of Calamity, her moveset is largely inspired by that game. She has alt costumes based on her other appearances in the series.
3. Jill Valentine (Resident Evil)
Chosen as a Capcom rep, she fights with different firearms modified to fit Smash's family friendly aesthetic like Snake's, as well as flash grenades, throwing knives, and a taser/stunner. She has outfits based on her other appearances.
4. Tracer (Overwatch)
I will admit I've never played nor seen someone play Overwatch and I'm an old timer who nevertheless is including her for the youngins. I'd like to say she can have alts of other Overwatch women but I'll need to get someone's professional opinion on whether that's doable.
5. Carmen freakin' Sandiego (needs no introduction)
Yup, you heard me. Sakurai and Nintendo let me have whoever I wanted, and I want a Latina, and there's probably no one more famous than this iconic lady. I'm not even the first one who thought of this crazy idea, and she seems like someone Sakurai would have a ton of fun designing a moveset for.
Impress me!
