there are so many creative characters in Soul Calibur that aren't Nightmare and it seems like people settle for Nightmare just because he is the series mascot, which also prevents any other Soul Calibur character from getting in because it would simply feel wrong to have any of them INSTEAD of Nightmare. Of course I mentioned Yoshimitsu because I am a fanboy, but there's also Ivy, Voldo, Talim, Cervantes, Tira. It would be very hard to get excited about seeing Nightmare in SSB when he's not the most interesting character in the lore. And Yoshimitsu could easily have his own SSB specific costume designed by Sakurai, which I think he would have a lot of fun with. I would also argue his relevancy is more than you say it is because he's never been absent in a Tekken or Soul Calibur game. I would love to see him in SSB despite it being impossible. no his moveset is very distinct yet consistent between both Namco fighters. Button inputs are inherently different between Tekken's punching and kicking and Soul Calibur's horizontal / vertical weapon swings, is this what you were referring to? Healing meditation, manji dragonfly, hopping around on his sword, toxic breath, the helicopter flag. Leave a reply issuing your support, and I'll add you the list!Ĭlick to expand.I just want to point out that this is wrong, his moveset pretty much evolves from Tekken into Soul Calibur, then back into Tekken as both series progress. Really the only thing Nightmare has over him is the uniqueness of the character. Another Bandai Namco rep that comes from a 3D fighting game that also happens to be more popular. He definitely isn't a nobody, but compared to other 3rd party options like Master Chief, Sora, or Crash he doesn't really stack up head to head.ģ - Heihachi could be considered over him. Of course, we do have violent characters, but I'm not sure if they come close to the intensity of Nightmare.Ģ - He's also not the most popular character out there. The whole schtick to his character is hitting opponents with a massive sword. He has incredibly evil behavior and the game origin he comes from is consistently violent. I do recognize a few issues that contradict the inclusion of Nightmare in Smash Bros.ġ - His violence is a pretty big reason to put against him. " Sleepless: An Untamed Beast" - SoulCalibur V
" Till Fate Writes My Epitaph" - SoulCalibur V " Midnight Mystique" - SoulCalibur: Broken Destiny
" If There Were Any Other Way" - SoulCalibur II " In the Name of the Father" - SoulCalibur Smash is in need of more villains and adding a third party villain would be a pretty exciting situation. Having a great move-set is a huge pull when deciding characters.ĥ - One last point to add in his favor is that he's a villain. He has so much source material to work with that the developers would have a field day developing his abilities. Link appeared as a fighter in SC2, so this type of crossover isn't impossible by any means.Ĥ - Like I briefly mentioned, Nightmare's move-set would be incredible. I personally believe Nightmare would bring along a much more creative move-set to the table rather than Heihachi.ģ - Soulcalibur and Nintendo have always had a pretty solid relationship as well. This does bring up the argument of Heihachi vs Nightmare for this representation of 3D fighters. Soulcalibur is one of the most popular series when it comes to this genre besides Tekken. In this regard, it's clear to see we currently don't have any representation for the 3D fighter genre in Smash Bros. It's also important to note that Bandai Namco is co-publishing Smash Ultimate and probably wouldn't mind including a few more of their own characters in the series.Ģ - Another thing to look at is the genre of games the third party characters represent. As a third party rep from Bandai Namco, he'd bring in a more mature and extreme counterpart to their other representative, Pac-Man. Now you might be saying, okay this guy is super cool, but why should he be in Smash Bros? Well I'm glad you asked! Here are a few points I'd like to make.ġ - Arguably the most important thing to look at while talking about potential fighters is what they would represent. You can read more about the character's information here: He dawns the cursed sword, Soul Edge, which is the main objective of most the characters in the series and has become the embodiment of the weapon itself.
He first appeared in Soul Edge (1995) as the human Siegfried and then continued to be an iconic and very important character of the franchise ever since. Nightmare is the most iconic character in the Soulcalibur series published by Bandai Namco.
