Super Smash Brothers 4 Part 12: Advance Wars

For the uninitiated this is how it works. Every weekday I'll be doing a blog on the characters that deserve a roster spot in Nintendos next character smackdown. The franchises from which I'll be taking characters can be found under the "Part 1" link. If I get good feedback, I may add or change representative characters. Characters can also be added as Assist Trophies. 

The Rules:

• No more than 4 characters per franchise (trust me, it's a hard rule to follow through with)
  
• Characters have to be primarily video game characters.  (I want to add Colbert as much as you do)
  
• Characters from Nintendo will go first, followed by characters from other companies
• Characters must be major (I'm not adding Toad, or Sandshrew, or Lanky Kong. Whether a character is important enough is up to my own discression)

Part 1: Representative Franchises

Part 2: Mario Brothers

Part 3: The Legend of Zelda

Part 4: Metroid

Part 5: Starfox

Part 6: F-Zero

Part 7: Pokemon

Part 8: Kirby

Part 9: Donkey Kong

Part 10: Mother

Part 11: Fire Emblem

Part 12: Advance Wars

Notable Appearances: Advance Wars, Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising, Advance Wars Dual Strike

SSB4 likelyhood: 2/10

Differences: Andy would be able to heal himself or team-mates. Jake would up his firepower temporarily. Will would temporarily move faster.

Never played Advance Wars.

Interesting suggestion. It really depends on what direction Nintendo wants to take with the series. If it's going for the more gritty feel, I doubt Andy will be in, despite that he is the most iconic of all characters in the series.

Advance wars is awesomeness, though you need the strategical mind of Napolean for many of the later stages. I beat the first game with a combination of blind luck and cheap AI exploits, but the rest of the games were far too hard.

The way I see it, it's not just the fact that Advance Wars is a relatively small series, it's the fact Andy would not work as a character without some pretty radical changes to his style. I mean, what would he do? Hit people with his wrench? For all 4 of his B-Moves? I guess they could work in some sort of 'commanding tanks' mechanic which might be alright, but it still seems like a bit of a mis-match having Andy as a character. Though saying that, they added Snake.

For captain falcon, didn't they have his Anime character to base him on? And couldn't you get out the cockpit in multiplayer for Lylat Wars/starfox 64, or am I just imagining that?

Yeah, its not valid unless it works without a falcon punch

I want to see more Golden Sun characters in Smash Bros. Maybe with more exposure of those characters people would want to see more Golden Sun games (same goes for Sin and Punishment).

Issac, Felix, Garet, Ivan, Mia, Saturos would be good characters from Golden Sun. I wonder what the chances are of them being in the next Smash Bros game.
