Xbox All Smash Star Bros.

Now that PSASBR is released it's time to star speculating on when Microsoft is going to bite the bullet and make their own smash clone. Who would be in it and how would they play?

Getting the Obvious out of the Way Master Chief and Marcus Fenix will be there.
However because Microsoft owns Rare I'm guessing Banjo & Kazooie would also be in the cast as well.

 

[Eddie the head]

The Halo guy vs the Gears of War guy? And...................... That one fairy chick form that one game? You know the one that can turn into rocks and shit. I don't know?

Captcha: Sir Squirrel. I like everything about that.

I'm guessing that third party characters are going to happen my bet is that at least one of the assassins from Assassin's Creed will be there. Possibly Raz, anyone else play Psychonauts on something other than the PC or Xbox. Personal hope, the Kid from Bastion.

We can throw in some third party guys, let's throw in Commander Shepard, or better still, Thane because he's a legit assassin. Soverign controlled Saren would work too! Throw in some Banjo Kazooie since microsoft owns the rights to em. The Arbiter of course!

 

[Tiswas]

They can just pull a Sony and mainly use non-exclusive characters

 

[Chester Rabbit]

Master Chief
Hammer(Fable 2)
That Locust Predator fellow from Gears of War 2
A dwarven machine from Skyrim (might as well call it a 360 exclusive)
Hawk: Brute Force
Wrex(ME started out as an exclusive so I say they get dibs)
Aaaand...*shrugs* I'm out.

If PSASBR gets to use things like Big Daddy, then clearly it's not limited to first party characters.
I remember when Bioshock was only for 360.

 

[EHKOS]

NO ONE SAID BLINX YET! I contributed to the conversation!

 

[whycantibelinus]

Lets not forget the knights from Castle Crashers, that game pretty much MADE Xbox Live Arcade a viable game selling service.

I don't remember Bioshock being an X360 exclusive which shows how closely I followed that games development (orjust shows how awesome my memory is). That being the case though: Commander Shepard is a shoe-in for the potential Microsoft Mascot Fighter.

Also Raikou from Otogi Myth of Demons and Otogi 2 on the Xbox. Only on Xbox!

 

[SweetLiquidSnake]

An xbox version of that type of game would be utter shit. Xbox's characters aren't as cartoony as Nintendo or even PS3. Maybe if it was a FPS (toggle 1st/3rd) format then maybe it'd be decent but side scrolling beat em up makes no sense. Plus with all the customizable characters like Shepard or Fable's Hero, how do you choose a default appearance?

Damn, ninja'd...

Actually, I don't know how this would work. Xbox doesn't really have any iconic characters... lets see...

Marcus Fenix
Master Cheif
Joanna Dark
Banjo Kazooie
Blinx
Commander Sheppard (I mean, they do own the first ME)


....and 4 out of six of those are FPS characters.... It would make more sense for the Xbox game to be a FPS-Brawl game, if that makes sense.

EDIT: Forgot FABLE, so something from there too.

Well Sheppard, I think you could get away with the default Male/Female sheps.

Or hell, just have the fucker wear his helmet.

Frank West from Dead Rising
Joanna Dark from Perfect Dark
Crackdown Agent
that is all I got that aren't from Halo or Gears.

The problem is, which Commander Shepard?
Do they do the right one, making him a Male Paragon Vanguard, the horrible ugly default soldier, or something else.
Wrex would work though. He's the best.

 

[Poetic Nova]

Forgot her name but the character you play as in Bulletwitch would fit really wel if microsoft does consider a Smash Bros clone.

 

[AgentLampshade]

Jack of Blades from the first Fable would be pretty cool.
Alan Wake with some flashlight action.
If anywhere Big Daddy would fit, it would be here. Not PSAll-Stars.
Ryu whatsits from Ninja Gaiden. That series (the reboot onwards) was initially on the Xbox right?
Sam Fisher.

Bill Gates

Special finishing move.

Bill gets his phone out and has you erased from the line up, game over man, game over.

The final Boss is Ctrl Alt Del made flesh, it takes place in the Blue Arena of Death.


Also, the guys from Brute Force and Armed & Dangerous.
Specifically for the comedy value of invisi-blade, gravity bomb and Land Shark based attacks.

While I'm at it, Half Jaw and Tartarus as playable characters, with Regret as a boss, Hunters as environmental hazards and a whole level on a giant, moving Sentinel (a la Brinstar, Norfair, Great Fox etc).
