Super Smash Bros. Ultimatehas been talked about nonstop since revealing thatMinecraft’s Steve is joining the roster yesterday, with fan and developer requests for more crossover characters. The fighting game is not going to stop being brought up anytime soon, as Xbox France is pushing forHalo’s Master Chief to join theSmash Bros.roster.
Master Chief withinSmash Bros.seems like a natural fit, and it is easy to think of what moves the power armored hero can have due toHalo’s iconic weaponry. While 343 has been busyquashing rumors regardingHalo Infinite’s release date, the official Twitter account for Xbox France has been discussingSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. In a post sharing excitement regarding the addition of Steve to the game, a fan name NaonedGames replied asking Xbox France when Master Chief will be coming toSmash.

The Xbox France Twitter account wasted no time replying to the comment, keeping theSmashtone by saying “he’s still waiting for an invitation.” A gif attached shows Chief within a ship gazing at a Halo ring in a way that would be a perfect fit for aSmash Bros.character reveal trailer. Though this is likely just playful discussion, fans have wanted Chief inSmashfor some time and this comment that Xbox wants the same thing is certainly nice to see. Withnew features supposedly being added toHalo Infinitebecause of its delay, Chief’s move-set could become even deeper than expect when and if he is added toSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate.
With some dedicatedHalo 3fans still playing the 360 game daily, members of theHalocommunity would certainly be willing to grab a Switch to make their favorite Spartan faceoff with characters like Solid Snake. The Xbox icon is one of the most recognizable characters in video games, and considering Nintendo already worked with Microsoft to bringMinecrafttoSmash Bros, anything is possible when it comes to Chief’s possible addition to the roster.
Master Chief may need to get in line, however, as another classic video game series also made a pitch to join theSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatecharacter lineup. The officialTetrisTwitter account pushed for aSmashappearancelate last night, with the odd crossover also being a possibility due to the series’ strong relationship with Nintendo. While the beloved blocks have a less concrete move set than Chief,Overwatch’s Tracer may also be arriving inSmashand is a perfect fit for the fighting game.
Nintendo clearly has numerous options for their nextSmashinvitation, though it can be assumed that none will beas hard to design as theMinecraftDLC. Still, if Xbox fans (and Xbox itself) have their way, Master Chief will be fighting his way toSmashsoon enough.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimateis available now on Nintendo Switch.
