<p>One iconic fighting series that hasn’t been represented in <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/super_smash_bros_ultimate">Super Smash Bros. Ultimate</a></strong> yet is <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/gameboy/mortal_kombat">Mortal Kombat</a></strong>. While Nintendo or Masahiro Sakurai have never said anything publically about a character from this brutal and bloody fighter being added to the roster, Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon recently told Shacknews he would “love” to see it happen.</p>
<p>This was his exact reply when he was asked about the possible inclusion of characters like Scorpion and Sub-Zero in Smash:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>For me personally (I can’t speak for all of Warner Bros or anything), that would be kind of like a stamp of approval. It’d be like being part of the gang and all that stuff. I would love to see that.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>So, with Boon on-board, what is the likelihood of this actually happening? There’s a <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/02/no_smash_ultimate_dlc_expected_beyond_fighters_pass_2_no_future_smash_games_planned">second round</a> of DLC fighters currently in development for Smash Bros. Ultimate, so there’s always a chance.</p>
<p>In saying this, in November last year, <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/street_fighter_30th_anniversary_collection">Street Fighter</a></strong> producer Yoshinori Ono revealed Capcom had previously rejected Boon’s proposal to add a Street Fighter character to Mortal Kombat, as it “<a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/11/capcom_didnt_like_the_idea_of_a_street_fighter_character_in_mortal_kombat_wasnt_a_good_fit">wasn’t a good fit</a>” – would Nintendo feel the same way about adding a character like Scorpion to Smash Bros?</p>
