<p>Blizzard’s <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/overwatch_legendary_edition">Overwatch</a></strong> team recently did a Reddit AMA and was asked <em>again</em> which heroes they would like to see represented in Nintendo’s <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/n64/super_smash_bros">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>
<blockquote>
<p>Jeff Kaplan: tracer plz</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>Geoff Goodman: Doomfist could also work, hes kind of a fighting game hero already! He’s certainly inspired by fighting games.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Kaplan said a bit more about his pick when he was first <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/10/overwatch_director_would_pick_tracer_to_represent_the_game_in_smash_bros_ultimate">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>
<blockquote>
<p><em>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>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><em>To the Smash Brothers team, whatever character you want, we love them all.</em></p>

<p>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 <em>any</em> video game series. For example, in more recent times we’ve seen games like <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/undertale">Undertale</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/cuphead">Cuphead</a></strong>, and the <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/fallout_shelter">Fallout</a></strong> series receive Mii Fighter costumes and even <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/02/cuphead_gets_a_special_spirit_event_in_smash_bros_ultimate_later_this_week">special themed spirit events</a>.</p>
<p>Although we can’t say for sure if Overwatch will ever appear in Smash, what we can confirm is that <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/overwatch_2">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 <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/super_smash_bros_ultimate">Super Smash Bros. Ultimate</a></strong> in the near future? <em>Leave a comment down below.</em></p>
