Yes, Andy is the most likely AW character to be in the game and really he's the one that should be included or at least the first character to be included if the devs plan to include more than 1 AW character which I doubt. He's essentially the face of the series (what Marth is to Fire Emblem). The moveset he would bring would be unheard of in Smash Bros as well.

There can be an argument made for Sami, Max, and Will as well but none of those characters are important to the series like Andy is. I also believe that they don't bring as much to the table as Andy does.


If you're interested in getting an idea of how Andy would play you should check out an article I did regarding his potential inclusion in Smash. What I wrote applied to the official Smash Bros games though it can easily apply to SSF2 as well.

Looking back at the moveset though there's some things I would change to make the moveset more interesting. I would make the wrench attacks more unique like Andy being able to catch items with his wrench and his U-Air functioning like Dedede's U-Air.

I would also get rid of the Recon unit and have him use Hyper Repair/Hyper Upgrade as his Down B. Basically he would have a CO Power meter (think Little Mac's meter from Smash 4) like he does in Advance Wars and the meter would increase the more Andy damages and gets damaged. 3 stars enables him to use Hyper Repair (a simple healing move) while 6 stars enables him to use Hyper Upgrade (a healing move in addition to increasing his stats).

So his specials would be like this.

B: Artillery
Side B: Tank
Up B: Bomber/Battle Copter
Down B: Hyper Repair/Hyper Upgrade

Ike, Lyn, and Andy for ssf2... Maybe Zero too. Btw, try posting that moveset in the expansion character thread

zero would be sexy as hell and it should definitely happen

tbh if Zero gets in the game, I'm really hoping they go for the MMZ style of the char. It has a lot more potential with the different weapon usage and the like.

If they go for Zero having his MMZ it would be neat to have X to represent MMX.
And before you tell me "uhh he would just be a Mega Man clone", let's consider the height difference between the two is pretty much the same as Toon Link's and TP Link + the fact that there are enough moves from the 8 MMX games too fill up an entirely different moveset.

Before we get Zero, we should get Proto-man and Axl. Zero is overrated.

more than 2 mega man characters seems like a bit much, i'd rather have zero to represent X (that design's way cooler anyway)

Will do that sometime. I need to change some things up about the moveset before I do it though like the changes I mentioned.

Odd way to spell Bass

We should get Zero instead of any other (or just make him be the first Mega Man newcomer). Zero is a SSF veteran. That's all that matters.

Ik many others are and they aren't in. But they are cut. Zero isn't. Mewtwo should be the next Pokémon char by that reason. Hopefully, YLink will take TLink's place. Srsly, I really wanna see these masks things in YLink for this game. Faith in MG.

^I remember making a f*** Young Link expansion character moveset quite a while back that utilized his masks from MM, maybe I should go and tidy it up sometime.

As for Zero, yeah 100% with his MMX design.
I also hope the Proto Man AT gets some sort of visual improvement.

Nah MMZ is much better imo. It's a distance from MM's slightly chubby design by making Zero the "sleeker version"

'Sides, the MMZ weapons are much more interesting imo.

MMZ is the first MM side series iirc and the first series to have a definite ending iirc

^Why don't we have a hybrid Zero then?
The best from both MMX and MMZ.

It won't be Zero at all. It's like mixing Classic Mega Man with Mega Man X. Won't work.

Except in this case they're the same character.
(Soul wise at least)
