Now, Guerrilla Games’ franchise development lead producer, Tim Symons, has added Aloy to the growing list of candidates for new Smash fighters.

Speaking with Kotaku, Symons was asked about the possibility of Aloy being added to Smash now that Horizon is making its way to Nintendo Switch in the form of Horizon Lego Adventures

“That’d be nice,” he said. “If you speak to Nintendo and they want to invite us let me know.”

Horizon Zero Dawn’s Aloy could be the first PlayStation character to appear in Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros franchise if Guerrilla Games has its way.

Super Smash Bros Ultimate has been wrapped up for a couple of years now with Kingdom Hearts’ Sora being the final DLC, but that hasn’t stopped developers from wanting their characters in Nintendo’s platform fighter.

Over the years we’ve seen Mortal Kombat’s Ed Boon call for Scorpion to join the roster, Mario + Rabbids Creative Director request Rayman, and Halo devs insist Master Chief finish the fight.

Now, Guerrilla Games’ franchise development lead producer, Tim Symons, has added Aloy to the growing list of candidates for new Smash fighters.

Speaking with Kotaku, Symons was asked about the possibility of Aloy being added to Smash now that Horizon is making its way to Nintendo Switch in the form of Horizon Lego Adventures.

“That’d be nice,” he said. “If you speak to Nintendo and they want to invite us let me know.”

Aloy would certainly make a fine addition to the Smash roster given the tools and abilities she has in Horizon. With projectiles and good melee combat, she might just be a better version of Link.

His response seems to suggest that Nintendo hasn’t spoken to Guerrilla Games or PlayStation about adding Aloy to Smash, or if they have, it’s possible that Symons just isn’t aware.

Although it’s unlikely that there will be more Smash Ultimate DLC, there have been rumors from series creator Masahiro Sakurai himself that indicate Nintendo is working on a new Smash game. The only question is if it will be a fully new title or a Smash Ultimate Deluxe.

Nothing has been confirmed yet, though, and until Nintendo reveals its new console, the fate of the Smash series remains unknown.

That said, there have also been reports that Illumination wants to do an Avengers-style Super Smash Bros film following the success of The Mario Movie along with rumors that Nintendo has something big planned to celebrate the franchise’s 25th anniversary.

All the people that said Aloy is fat and ugly can't wait to smash her now.

 

[Gaiff]

They keep pushing Aloy when she’s an awful character.

Would much rather see Ratchet & Clank, Astro, or Sackboy there. I’d even take Sly or Kat.

 

[nial]

One step closer to the dream. ArtHands

 

[Deft Beck]

I really don't want her in the game. I don't think she's interesting.

I like chubby girls.
thicc_girls_are_teh_best can back me up on this.

[//DEVIL//]

I hope Nintendo tells them please shove that ugly fat ho circle faced bish up Herman’s ass

 

[Sushi_Combo]

Sony literally has so many tentpole characters to choose from and they keep going back to that boring fucking character.

I like the Horizon games.....but yeah, Aloy just has no personality at all.

 

[Bring Back Scalebound]

I can think of 100 other characters with a personality and shit, that should be in Smash... And Miss Mediocre there is not even close to being one of them...

I like the Horizon games.

 

[Neolombax]

Ehh, I think Astrobot would be a better fit, if that ever happens. Always hopeful that a another Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale is revealed. Sony owns EVO, they should absolutely make their own brawler.

Jokes on you. I've been smashing ugly fatties for years.

 

[MayauMiao]

The problem is Aloy is a boring plain character and likely to get boos from the Smash community for featuring the most forgettable character.

Welcome to the pack.

[Sojiro]

No way would I want to see Aloy over Sly or Ratchet and Clank. I particularly would like to see Sly there.

Ok ok. I'll admit one gorilla turned me on.

 

[Punished Miku]

This would downgrade Smash to just Fortnite bullshit. Horizon sells well but no one gives a shit about Aloy in Smash.

 

[feynoob]

Not that far.

 

[Varteras]

Ok ok. I'll admit one gorilla turned me on.

 

[Varteras]

 

[AREYOUOKAY?]

Yeah no thanks. Microsoft has the used to be Sony character everyone wants and that's Crash.

>implying it wasn't already that

 

[violence]

Yeah, but then you have the issue of beating up females in video games

 

[Bond007]

They really pushin this wack ass character

 

[Sushi_Combo]

Yeah, but then you have the issue of beating up females in video games

But Samus?

 

[EverydayBeast]

The problem with Aloy being in smash bros is she’s an exclusive character for Sony.

 

[Ikutachi]

 

[captainpat]

This is a nothing burger. What studio doesn’t want their IP in smash?

 

[realcool]

Nintendo: Hello, Sony. We'd love to have LEGO Aloy join the Super Smash Bros. roster.

Sony: Well, that's fantastic, but we meant the original Aloy.

Nintendo:

Spoiler

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

You like them thick. i like them stick.

 

[Dr. Claus]

Yea no. Please keep this ugly sow far away from Smash.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

They had this cool concept art. Not only she's more attractive but also has more unique features, she oozes personality. Current Aloy has no recognizable traits other than being strong and lesbian. Absolutely bland character.

This is all amazing. Why couldn't she look like this? Oh yea, its modern day. Can't have attractive female characters in western properties anymore.
