Blizzard’s Overwatch<\/a><\/strong> team recently did a Reddit AMA and was asked again<\/em> which heroes they would like to see represented in Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros.<\/a><\/strong> series. Game director Jeff Kaplan chose Tracer for the second time in a row, while the lead hero designer Geoff Goodman went with Doomfist – a hero with a moveset inspired by classic 2D fighting games.<\/p>\n

\n

Jeff Kaplan: tracer plz<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Geoff Goodman: Doomfist could also work, hes kind of a fighting game hero already! He\u2019s certainly inspired by fighting games.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Kaplan said a bit more about his pick when he was first asked the same question by IGN last October<\/a>, and also mentioned how Doomfist would be a good fit but would be happy with any selection the Smash Bros. team made.<\/p>\n

\n

Tracer’s our girl, Tracer’s our mascot. She’d be my first choice. There’s a lot of great runners up. I think a lot of people can immediately see Doomfist gameplay applying to Smash, but if it were up to me, I’d like to see Tracer.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

To the Smash Brothers team, whatever character you want, we love them all.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

While an Overwatch representative seems unlikely based on the DLC fighters we’ve seen added to the latest entry so far, there’s always a chance of a cameo of sorts for any<\/em> video game series. For example, in more recent times we’ve seen games like Undertale<\/a><\/strong>, Cuphead<\/a><\/strong>, and the Fallout<\/a><\/strong> series receive Mii Fighter costumes and even special themed spirit events<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although we can’t say for sure if Overwatch will ever appear in Smash, what we can confirm is that Overwatch 2<\/a><\/strong> is coming to the Nintendo Switch. Would you like to see Tracer or some other Overwatch character appear as a fighter or DLC in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/a><\/strong> in the near future?
