Lol, it would be badass if this happened. We have never had a western rep in Smash Bros. so far (not counting things like the DK reps, or Dark Samus).
Blizzard, bethesda and ubisoft should have more representation than fucking capcom
At least they support the switch

None of Blizzard's characters are worthy enough to be in Smash, honestly.

Megaman's not that iconic, pretty sure Blizzard has more iconic characters than that.Capcom has more iconic mascot characters though. Megaman and Ryu are classics.
That's not to say other characters aren't iconic, like Doomguy, Rayman or Diablo/Tyrael/Deckard Cain but Capcom's guys are just more iconic AND more related to Nintendo.
That won't stop me from dreaming of Doomguy, Dovahkiin and Deckard Cain in Smash though. The 3 D's.
Tracer would be better but I guess they're saying loudly enough that Diablo 3 is coming to switch these days instead of OW

Haha, it would never be Mara. If anyone from SMT I'd guess Jack Frost. But some SMT representation would make sense with how far back mainline SMT games have appeared on Nintendo consoles.
another swordfighter. that's exactly what we need!
Deckard Cain is a classic. He's been around since 1996, that's before even Ganondorf.
I have no idea what his move set would be but I imagine it would revolve around identifying shit.
Nah, StarCraft was the essentially the national sport of South Korea and the valkryrie of modern esports as we know it today. WoW reached what 10-12 million monthly active subscribers and ten's of millions copies sold.Hmmm maybe not today, but in terms of gaming history, which Smash is all about, he's absolutely more iconic than anything Blizzard has.
At least that's the sense I get but maybe I'm wrong.

Megaman despite being older than those franchises and having more entries was never that big not in it's home country nor abroad.
Arthas is more Iconic. Kerrigan also good claim.Yes, maybe Blizzard has more iconic games or franchises, but I'm talking characters, not franchises. Megaman is a mascot character and therefore probably a lot more iconic and recognizable than most of the characters Blizzard has.
Western games typically don't have franchise mascots like that.
Goku would be cooler than anyone from Diablo.. People are crazy just because of some silly "video game first" rule they think is set in stone.

Jack Frost with Pyro Jack as an echo fighter.
Well then my perception might be coloring my claim then, because I have no idea who either of those characters are.
Note- the only Blizzard franchise I've played (for more than a couple hours) is Diablo.
Any of the Overwatch characters would fit in fine. Not that I want them in the game but they wouldn't look out of place.I can't think of a single Blizzard character that would fit at all. I kinda feel like unless you do two discrete sides and styles like MvC, you can't really mix Eastern and Western characters without the aesthetic just completely devolving into a PlayStation All-Stars shitshow.
Maybe Sakurai could prove me wrong, but I just can't picture it looking good at all.
>inb4 "what about K. Rool, Diddy, and Dark Samus"
It's a testiment to Retro's and Rare's character designers that they made characters that are so distinctive and yet fit so well in their existing series. Still that's a different situation since they were working on a Japanese series under a Japanese company.
I can't wait for this meme to die.
