About a week ago, oneSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatefan decided to create amod that added Waluigito the game due to the fact that Nintendo chose to leave him off of the roster for the Switch exclusive fighting game. Now, it looks as if another player has been inspired to add more unofficial brawlers to the title by taking inspiration outside of the Big N’s stable of iconic characters with the introduction of Marvel Comics' Deadpool.
In order to bring the Merc with a Mouth intoSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, the modder known as DemonSlayerX8 used Snake as Deadpool’s model, causing the Marvel Comics character to be in possession of all the abilities of theMetal Gear Solidprotagonist. Considering the fact that a lot of Snake’s moves see him using weaponry and explosives like mines and rocket launchers, theMGSlead’s move set is definitely a fitting choice for Deadpool.
While DemonSlayerX8’s Deadpool mod forSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateis unofficial, it’s worth noting that this isn’t the first instance of Wade Wilson being a playable character in a fighting game. As a matter of fact, the Merc with a Mouth was one of the more popular selectable fighters in Capcom’s 2011 release,Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds. Unfortunately, though, he was left out of the roster for the followup,Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite.
Taking everything here into consideration, with Deadpool now having been modded intoSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, there’s no doubt that modders will start to try and incorporate plenty of other comic book characters into the fighting game with fan-made skins. And although it’s unlikely to have happened, Nintendo would definitely score big points withSmashfans if they managed to secure the rights to any Marvel characters and actually plan on using them in the title’s upcomingChallenger Pack DLC.
