In a recent AMA on Reddit, the team behind Overwatch answered questions from fans of all varieties. While many had franchise-specific questions, such as the likelihood of crossplay in Overwatch 2, others looked outside the series. One question which warranted an interesting answer from developers was which hero they'd like to see in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Ever since Super Smash Bros. Ultimate began allowing third-party characters in the game, nearly every franchise has seemingly had at least one representative that would make a good fit. Now Overwatch's Jeff Kaplan, the game director, and Geoff Goodman, the lead hero designer, have given their two cents on the matter.

When asked the question, Kaplan responded first, quickly saying that Tracer would be his number one pick as a rep in the fighting game. Goodman followed suit, claiming that Overwatch's Doomfist would be another good choice for Smash Bros, and then discussion in the comments ensued.

Of course, including Tracer in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate would make a lot of sense, as she is the effectively the face of the franchise and easily the most marketable. Beyond that, she also has a lot of unique abilities that could manifest in interesting ways in Smash Bros. Most notably, her iconic Recall ability would be very cool to see in that game. Perhaps as her down special she could return to whatever percentage and position she was at a few seconds earlier, though an ability this powerful would certainly need to be limited in some way.

On the other hand, Doomfist also would make a good choice. Goodman makes a point to say that he is "kind of a fighting game hero already," and many in the comments seem to share this opinion. That said, there is some confusion about what role he would play, as many feel the character would wind up being too similar to Little Mac since the two have similar moves. The biggest difference between the two, as many commenters point out, is that Doomfist is very aerial oriented, whereas Little Mac is infamously bad in the air, resulting in him being considered one of the worst characters in Smash Ultimate.

Of course, this is just the two developers sharing what they would like if it were to happen, and should not be taken as any form of indication that either character will be making it into Smash. Even so, it would be very cool to see an Overwatch representative in the game, but the most recent rumors suggest the next Smash Ultimate fighter is from Pokemon.

Overwatch is available now on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
