5 Overwatch Characters That Make the Most Sense for Smash Bros. Ultimate

Doomfist

Recommended Videos

Doomfist was introduced as the 25th Hero, being the fourth character added into Overwatch post-launch.

He is known for his up close and personal attacks and giant gold gauntlet that allows him to uppercut, dash, and plow through enemies at a moment’s notice.

His brawling fighting style is what makes Doomfist a perfect candidate to make the transition into Smash.

In fact, many characters in Smash already have abilities that resemble the abilities that Doomfist carries in Overwatch.

Characters like Little Mac and Ganondorf possess the ability to dash across the map, dealing massive damage in the process.

When Doomfist originally launched, he was likened to being a fighting game character in a shooter, so making the jump into an actual fighting game would be practically seamless.

Doomfist’s Rocket Punch and Uppercut make for an easy combo that players can perform on their enemies, much like the combos that characters like Ryu and Ken possess in Smash.

The fact that Doomfist is modeled after fighting game characters already, becoming a Smash Bros. Ultimate guest character is almost a no-brainer.
