Welcome to another episode of Challenger Approaching! In this series, we cover characters who might be invited to a future entry of Super Smash Bros, then go into deep into detail on how they could be designed if they joined the roster for real!
Our Challenger this time is another presumed frontrunner for the next Smash title, and for good reason. One of the marquee characters of Pokémon's 9th generation, Meowscarada has mesmerized crowds in the real world just as easily as the species does in-universe. Combine the Smash fans still wishing a fully evolved Grass starter would make the roster with the fanbase of this particular Grass type, and you have a Smash hopeful as popular as they are likely to make it in...if timing works out, that is.
But how could Meowscarada's elemental powers and magician motifs come together to stand out within Smash's roster? Let's see how we can tap into the line's canon abilities and lore with a design that stands out above the rest!
