Super Smash Bros. Fans Divided Over Rumored New Character

As a die-hard gamer, I’ve got a feeling that we’re going to see another installment of Super Smash Bros. for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. The exact stage of development and final details are still shrouded in mystery. Following the massive success of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with its impressive lineup from all previous games, as well as new characters, it’s safe to expect that Nintendo will either recreate this entire roster again or introduce fresh faces while maintaining the series’ legacy.

However, there’s one rumored character I really hope doesn’t make an appearance in the next game!

In the latest whispers about Nintendo Switch 2’s Super Smash Bros, Jonesy wasn’t mentioned. However, going back to rumors surrounding Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, there have been indications that Nintendo has considered including Jonesy, the Fortnite mascot. So, it’s possible he might make an appearance in Super Smash Bros on Nintendo Switch 2.

It’s quite plausible that Nintendo could introduce Fortnite characters in the future, given the popularity of Fortnite and Epic Games’ knack for striking successful collaboration deals. Over time, Nintendo has faced challenges when it comes to adding certain characters like Cloud, so a potential partnership with Epic Games seems promising due to its simplicity. This is an aspect that shouldn’t be overlooked.

Beyond just noting its popularity, Fortnite appeals significantly to a fresh group of consumers that Nintendo likely aims to draw towards the Super Smash Bros. franchise. In other words, adding Jonesy is a smart move, but he might not be the character most favored by longtime Super Smash Bros. fans.

On the Reddit page dedicated to Super Smash Bros., a post debates whether Jonesy should join the series has sparked disagreement among fans. While some believe he shouldn’t be added, others hold contrasting opinions, as evidenced by the diverse replies.

Can we all agree that Jonsey shouldn’t be in anything smash related?

Indeed, I wholeheartedly agree with this assessment. The character appears to embody the less-than-ideal traits of both Steve and Samus, making for a challenging playstyle. As for the community’s opinion, it seems that most players steer clear of him, while the few who do use him are newcomers who just started playing recently.

A different Reddit user joins the discussion, expressing dissent with the initial post: Absolutely not. Fortnite deserves its place among games such as Smash. Another user then chimes in, challenging the prevailing opinion that Fortnite is inferior: It’s high time for everyone to move past the ‘Fortnite is bad’ perspective. He’s undeniably the most recognizable character from the biggest game of recent times, and it won’t be long before he’s included. Fortnite boasts a vast array of weapons, so his moveset wouldn’t be lackluster.

It’s uncertain at this point whether Jonesy will join the Super Smash Bros. roster for Nintendo Switch 2 or not, as Nintendo hasn’t revealed any plans for a new game yet, nor have they announced potential characters. However, given previous patterns in character selection, it’s possible that Jonesy could be the next character reminiscent of Steve, stirring up debate among fans. If this occurs, it’s common to find division within the fanbase with most additions.
