    Bayo vs Palutena seems a more natural fit to me

    This idea would make Classic Mode way more fun, especially if there was cutscenes to go along with each one like in Playstation All Stars

    Although, an addition is that I wish the Miis had something else. Kirby vs Miis kind of works but I feel the Miis if they had their own classic route should have their rival be a "shadow" or "dark" version of themself since that's a fairly basic idea and would work well with Miis as the player's original character. I picture something along the lines of the Master Core Shadow Fighter from Smash 4's Classic Mode

    It'd be fun but they were kinda forced, I'd prefer they'd be less like PAS and more like third strike: short and sweet.

    Ike vs. Sephiroth is a surprisingly fantastic matchup. Ike is the closest thing to Cloud that Sephiroth has besides the man himself while Ike's final opponent is very much like Jenova.

    The only thing I change is move robin vs shulk, heroes who defied a preordained fate as a vessel for an evil god; lucina vs. Young link, heroes who traveled through time to stop a future of ruin (although they traveled in opposite directions.); and marth vs hero, two legendary figures who games would help define two genres of the rpg, tactical vs turn-based and even their universes both are remembered long after their death(this one in particular is one that just feels right to me). Other than those, I loved the pairings you came up with and would love to see an idea like this implemented in an actual smash game. I feel that lacks any interactions between the different universe. Good Job

    Another thing that links Joker and Bayo as rivals is their use of otherworldly beings as their trump cards, with both having an arsenal of demons. Joker would ultimately win though because he can summon Satan himself Edit: Also a harder sell on Marth v Young Link is a meta reason, but Young Link represents Link from the Melee/64 era. When Marth was developed he was made to be an opposite type of swordfighter to Link at that time.

    DUDE I legit had this rivals idea since the DLC concluded. So glad to find someone with the same passion. Here's my list if you want reference. I'm welcome to ideas: (be wary of spoilers) PS: * means Im not too happy about the MU Mario v Sonic (classic rivals) DK vs Mac (boxing rematch) Link v Cloud (legendary swordfighters) Samus v Megaman (arm canons) D. Samus v Richter (echoes + Metroidvania) Yoshi v Greninja (tongue twisters) Kirby v Jigglypuff (pink ball) * Fox v Lucario (Firey-willpower, also furies) * Pikachu v Pacman (yellow mascots) Luigi v Simon (Belmonts' reveal trailer) Ness v Mewtwo (Pkmn Trainer?? vs Giygas??) Cap. Falcon v Falco (Falco-n, risky ace pilots) Peach v Zelda (classic damsels in distresses) * Daisy v Isabelle (uhhh turnips?) Bowser v Ganondorf (classic villians, Subspace allies, Transformable Boss in WoL) * Ice Climbers v Rosalina (puppet playstyle) Shiek v ZSS (the agile counterpart) Dr Mario v Mr G&W (Mr vs Dr, also Mario got his own G&W not too long ago) Pichu v Sephiroth (they are best friends. Also world-ending threats) Marth v Metaknight (Brawl allies, Darkon's lackies who fought Link (Hero's trailer)) * Lucina v Dark Pit (Echoes of Sm4sh) * Young Link v Hero (Heroes of incarnation, magic, and holds a shield) * Roy v Lucas (timid young boys with the world's fate on their hands. Also veterans for Sm4sh DLC) Pit v Sora (wonder boys of light) Wario v Dedede (the kings of gluttony) Snake v Ike (bandana mercs. Who each finishes their father's fight) * Pkmn Trainer v Pythra (hehe down B to change, Red and Rex backseats) Diddy Kong v Bowser. JR (rivals of Mario spinoffs. By Smash's definition, they are not the same franchise) Olimar v Piranah Plant (a small battle at the backyard) * ROB v Wii Fit (accessories/gimmiks for their consoles. They are also seen doing Yoga together in the Classic mode mural) Toon Link v K. Rool (pirates of the high seas) Wolf v Incineroar (heel fight! They are gonna fight dirty) Villager v Steve (we buildin) Robin v Shulk (nerds, connections with the future, may or may not have an evil God within them) Palutena v Bayonetta (Light vs Dark, Bayo trailer) Duck Hunt v Banjo Kazooie (they got a Bird) Ryu v Kazuya (SF vs Tekken, Dark Hadou vs Devil Gene) Ken v Terry (classic FGC rivals) * Corrin v Ridley (Dragon-like?) Inkling v Min min (there were rivalries between Splatoon and Arms being hot new Nintendo IPs back then) Joker v Byleth (student vs teacher (thats the best part), Morgana v Sothis (same VA, sleep), time management strategy games) Left out Chrom and the miis.....No idea where to put them Chrom potentially can be with Dark Samus (new Echoes) man this is fun

    Absolutely bless you for talking about PSABR. I miss playing that game so much. I remember everyone was like "oh great it's a Sony smash bros" as it was getting developed and then went "wow this sucks its not like smash bros" There are so many new Sony characters they could add to the roster by now too. God I miss it.

    I think a better Kirby Vs Mii justification would be Kirby can take on the appearance and powers of anyone, and so can the Miis. But I'm just saying. I think Kirby vs Pac-Man and Mega Man Vs Samus could've worked too. Great video though.

    I would have put Meta Knight vs Sephiroth. Meta Knight is a small but powerful warrior, with an intense code of chivalry and self improvement though practice and training, constantly looking for stronger targets. Sephiroth is a domineering sword fighter who makes use of backstabbing and picking off weaker targets, who if I understand correctly was made to be that powerful in a lab. A perfect foil.

    Another thought: Luigi vs Ridley. The Luigi’s mansion games are all about Luigi, a normally timid individual, facing his fears to save his friends and family. Ridley, meanwhile, is the most visually terrifying character on the roster, who is known to target friends and families to make people suffer.

    Evil Cole MacGrath vs. Fat Princess Both are rather greedy; for Evil Cole, it's for power, for Fat Princess, it's cake. Gameplay-wise, both inFAMOUS and Fat Princess rely heavily on duality, with the colors red and blue representing different sides. In Fat Princess, you can choose either the Red Kingdom or the Blue Kingdom, and in inFAMOUS, Cole can become either Hero Cole, who is represented by the color blue, or Evil Cole, who is represented by the color red. Sir Daniel Fortesque vs. Colonel Mael Radec. Both are commanding soldiers who are also dead. SCE Cambridge made the MediEvil games and helped with the development of Killzone 2.

    Most of these work, but there are a couple that I think might have a better fit. Sephiroth Mewtwo: I don't know FF7 very well, but iirc wasn't Sephiroth genetically modified as part of SOLDIER? And even more so as part of some experiment? Well, that fits pretty well with Mewtwo being created as the ultimate pokemon. Ryu Metaknight: I might be mistaken, but iirc Metaknight is constantly trying to find a worthy challenge, to the point where he always gives you the sword power up before boss fights? That's Ryu's whole thing. Pacman Game and watch: The two already have a joking hinted one from pacman's reveal trailer. Two of the OGs, iconic in their sprite forms. It fits well enough, and opens up Megaman for Megaman R.O.B.: There's not much to this one besides them both being robots, but it feels way more fitting than DK ROB. Roy Young link: Both young boys thrust into a position to fight long before they should have been. Both came into their own as heroes. Heck, Roy's title is literally "Young Lion" Lucina Sheik: Similar reasons for this one as Roy YL. Either swap could work, but both might be a bit much unless it was pushing for doubles.
