These Characters were CUT from the SSF2 Roster...

Honestly I don't mind Anime in Smash Bros.

[bdo]

I remember the OG Smash Flash dojo. time flies.

Someday, Snake would came back.

I mean he is classified as an "Unconfirmed" character instead of a "Removed" character so there's still hope for him.

[dr.uselessYIIK]

Mr. Incredible is the returning fighter we really need...

[xBlaster]

Snake was never finished actually, the original trailers for the characters back then were simply sprite animations showcasing how they would behave in an ideal scenario.
Same for the "screenshots", they're simply images using sprites from many 2D games plus some made specially for the game in the original forums

[akaro]

I don't get the "Anime Doesn't belong in smash" mentality, it's a fangame after all, almost everything should be possible

[DonatelloVersus]

Bro i remember back before goku was even added, his reveal trailer on the old McLeod gaming site had him and vegeta in it. I waited years for vegeta to finally get added, and was absolutely fucking devastated when i saw he was cut

[jahin]

Vegeta's now included; he's an Assist Trophy now

[BrianBernard-gimb]

Personally I still want Mr. Incredible because he has such a history with SSF2

[Lo-Sir]

They also need to bring back Mr Incredible, you can't imagine SSF without him without imagining a dystopian future

[azurewarrior]

I hope Blade and Blue come back someday, they were both meant to come back with new designs and movesets, but were cut due to their original creator (Topcat13) essentially vanishing around 2012.

[SaltLevelsMax]

What a bunch of whiny babies, if those people don't like anime characters then don't use them. I really hope that's not the real reason these characters weren't included.

[biomecraft]

I wish they had Cloud in the game.
He was in the original roster, and I personally feel he would be a good addition.

[electrocrack]

vegeta coming back as an assist trophy is crazy

[kcalb]

Oh my God, I remember that site. It was the time where every sprite they had for the characters in the game was posted there, until people started stealing said sprites, that is.

[kamiloalvarez]

the "no anime characters allowed" mentality really damaged both smash bros and smash flash in the early 2010´s
i fucking hate both

[mythicalthings]

I legit wanna see Blue and Blade back. It'd be fucking hilarious to see them in the updated Sonic sprite style.

[packie]

never forget that when battle cards were still a thing, genie, jack skellington, and stitch were planned to be in the game.

[spikemanfangirl]

Unironically love the old fan characters, especially Azrael and Spikeman. They definitely should've had their own games because when you look at all the archived SSF2 stuff, i think there is a lot of potential.

[alternatetimelinepapyrus]

Even in fan games, vegeta cant catch a break

[PrinceSamTV]

How could we live in the timeline where Lee & Sasuke got cut 🤦🏽‍♂️
