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.
