Bomberman

First Appearance

Bomberman

MSX

1983

One of the most popular video game characters, along with being one of the most requested characters, Bomberman is the greatest bomber ever. He has had 3 cartoon shows after him, dozens and dozens of games starring him, tons of merchandise, and has become an icon in video games.

The trick would be designing his moveset. He could obviously use bombs and his variation of bombs. Maybe he could be resistant to bombs and explosions.

He could use his ice bombs to freeze opponents, thunder bombs to give electrical damage, and fire bombs to add flame damage.

Maybe he could use mines too as a special move.

His standard option could be using regular bombs. However, they stay in place where they are placed and won't explode until Bomberman detonates them. This could be his recovery move.

A possible taunt?

His entrance?

Another taunt?

Maybe he could put on his vest and drop a whole bunch of bombs for his final smash...

Overall, Bomberman has enough weapons to build up a moveset, plenty of alternate costumes, and is definitely a top contender for a third party character.

Assist Trophy: Rush

 Mega Man's sidekick deserves some action, but not enough to be a character just yet. Mega Man should start out solo, then maybe add Rush later. Rush could do a variety of moves at you, from turning into various machines to shooting at you like a rocket.

Mega Man

 

First Appearance: Mega Man

NES

1987

The Blue Bomber is an obvious choice, but there's a small chance he won't make the Smash Bros. roster due to copyrights. Chances are, though, is that we'll be seeing him in the next Smash Bros. game.

 Possible Moves

I could list literally hundreds of possible moves that Mega Man could have, but instead I'll just post a handful of pictures of his moves.

If Mega Man doesn't appear in Smash Bros., Sakurai better be ready to deal with a few million angry fans rioting. But I don't see this as a problem, considering the owner of the Mega Man franchise said he'd have no problem allowing Mega Man be in Smash Bros. Also, Mega Man has been appearing in a few Nintendo-exclusive games lately and kissing the big N's butt. Capcom knows how to play the game (no pun intended) and knows the importance of the publicity a character gets when they appear in Smash Bros. Just look at Mr. Game and Watch, Kid Icarus, and the Fire Emblem series.
