DOOM Guy in Smash Bros. ?
5 years ago
General
I'm sorry but I'm calling it, DOOM Slayer/DOOM Guy will be in Smash Bros, he's just gotta and I hope he really is coming. I've been nerding out a lot over Smash Ultimate and I'm crafting it to really become the Ultimate game where I can play and perform combat with anybody I fucking want from most games ive played in my lifetime. This whole phase started after Steve/Alex's reveal, maybe it is a new personality. Anyway, here's what I can see for DOOM Guy coming to Smash:
-They are going to pull mainly from classic DOOM, namely DOOM 1 on PC. The game is still rated E10+ and they are going to have to tone down the graphic imagery and demonic influence, maybe even take any the skulls (for religious purposes), but that still leaves them plenty to work with. I can see a pixelated 16-bit stage that sorta changes imagery every time it loads. I feel like pulling from DOOM 93 rather than DOOM Eternal or a newer game would also just look better, as DOOM 93 is so influential; having also been mod-able and having multiplayer and coining the term "Deathmatch". I can just see a slightly bigger stage setup because DOOM Guy will obviously use guns.
-Classic DOOM Marine skin with recolors to match the old multiplayer, one skin from Eternal and another maybe with his skin being red and fire cracks and whatnot. Perhaps the pure white astro-skin from Eternal and a jet black opposite.
-"Intermission From DOOM" should be the victory music, looping instead of the annoying used-to-death Smash select screen thing; just like Cloud's victory music from FF7, just imagine DOOM Guy holding up his shotgun or a victory pose with that shit playing in the background. It's so DOOM but its still Super Smash Bros. Plus, i can't really see DOOM Guy in that character select remix anyway. (which they might do anyway)
-Forward Smash will be the Chainsaw, obviously. I can see him chopping down the Villager's Tree for Isabelle in a little gameplay snap in the trailer.
- a classic gun select with his down B, switching maybe a weapon he primarily deals damage with the A Button. (And also maybe having to damage others for ammo to charge these guns)
-classic midi tracks as well as their remakes; fast-paced ones. "At Doom's Gate", "I Sawed The Demons", "Kitchen Ace (And Taking Names)", etc.
- a joke love-pairing of Doom Guy and Samus; seriously. I can just see DOOM Guy smashing away Ridley out of nowhere, turning around to see Samus (armored too, of course.). Then, a Heart Container appears and floats down between them. If this sequence happens in the reveal trailer, somebody owes me a million dollars.
That's pretty much what my mind's eye has to puke out. That's most of the dumb stuff I could think of. It probably wont be as amazing but I'm sure Sakurai could make the DOOM series work in Smash Bros. I have no insider knowledge if I called any of that shit. I just love classic DOOM so much and would to see this in Smash. Just the pixelated twisting corridoors over a heavy metal soundtrack is maniacal and fun to me and I love it. Plus, Smash has done everything under the sun except the shooter-genre and if anybody were to represent that, it would be DOOM Guy. The experience and the game's legacy still holds up (DOOM 93) and its like having a rock hall-of-fame without heavy metal or something to that effect.
Predicting the Final Four (not in any order and based on bullshit I've watched and heard)
1. DOOM Guy
2. Ryu Hayabusa
2. Crash Bandicoot ( i mean, c'mon. Furry mascot biased)
4. Geno
CALLING IT NOW: Sora and Riku will be Mii Swordfighters and the day that happens I will laugh my ass off into oblivion.
