Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon has recently expressed his desire for Nintendo to feature Scorpion and Sub-Zero, two renowned characters from the Mortal Kombat franchise, as playable fighters in the upcoming installment of Super Smash Bros. This could be the closest we get to witnessing a Mortal Kombat vs. Smash Bros crossover, at least for now.
In a recent interview with Express UK, Ed Boon was asked about his preferences for characters in Super Smash Bros, to which he responded, "I would love to see Scorpion and Sub-Zero in Super Smash Bros. They are beloved characters within the gaming community, and I believe they would be an excellent addition."
Scorpion and Sub-Zero: Iconic Characters
Scorpion and Sub-Zero are undeniably two of the most recognizable and beloved characters in the Mortal Kombat series. Scorpion, a formidable ninja specter, possesses a deadly spear attack, while Sub-Zero, a cryomancer, wields freezing abilities. The inclusion of these characters would introduce unique gameplay mechanics to the Super Smash Bros roster.
Super Smash Bros: The Ultimate Crossover
Super Smash Bros is a highly popular crossover fighting game that showcases characters from various video game franchises, including Nintendo's iconic figures such as Mario, Link, and Pikachu. By incorporating Scorpion and Sub-Zero, the roster of fighters in Super Smash Bros would expand, offering players a more diverse and thrilling gameplay experience.
A crossover between Mortal Kombat and Super Smash Bros would undoubtedly be a momentous event in the gaming industry. The convergence of these two iconic franchises, each possessing a dedicated fan base, would fulfill the dreams of fans from both worlds. Furthermore, it has the potential to attract new players to Super Smash Bros who are avid followers of the Mortal Kombat series.
