User:The Jacketed Terrapin/Third-party universes that should be in Smash
|
READ THIS FIRST Although this sandbox is not marked as a draft, it is free for anyone to edit. Before making any contributions here, however, I suggest you read this ruleset first. |
With how many third-party universes that are being included in the Smash series recently, whether they get playable fighters or not, I decided to make a safe-haven for potential third-party candidates which anyone can include, provided they follow the ruleset.
Do note that this page is only for the major third-party companies in Smash (i.e. the ones that have playable fighters). For universes owned by companies that don't have any of their IPs represented with a fighter, refer to here.
