Because I've been absent from the crossover side of the Fanfiction spectrum for a while, I've decided to come back in…, well, not exactly a big way, but it's something. You likely saw the series being joined together and instantly thought it'll be the Crystal Gems joining the Smash fighters on an arduous adventure involving friendship and lots of destruction. And you'd be wrong.
Recently, I've been watching a guy on YouTube who goes by the name BrawlFan1. He has his own thing going on where he takes other video game characters and sees how they would work in the Smash series. I highly recommend you check out his work; he actually managed to create a moveset for "I am Bread" and Goku while still working them within the confines of Smash.
And naturally, I saw this and thought to myself "what if I could something similar, but with Steven Universe characters?" Now, I know that Masahiro Sakurai doesn't want to use characters in Smash if they haven't originated from a video game… but screw it, I'm doing it anyway because I think several of the characters in Steven Universe could work really well as Smash fighters. That, and most of them already appeared in several video games, anyway, so it's not like I'm completely ignoring this rule.
You can make requests for certain Steven Universe characters to get the Smash treatment, and even provide ideas for their movesets, but I do have some ground rules in regard to which ones I'll do with this series:
First of all, NO OCS OR FAN FUSIONS! I'm working with the characters who have canonically appeared in the show, the movie and the games, so I don't want to see requests for a Tanzanite, or a Kyanite, or a Chrysocolla, etc. This also extends to Fusions; only doing the ones who exist in canon, not the ones created by fans. As much as I would love to use a Lapidot Fusion in Smash, we simply haven't gotten one yet so there's no point in doing a moveset for a character who doesn't exist.
Second, I'm not doing the Diamonds. Or more specifically, I'm not using Blue, Yellow or White Diamond. As far as I'm concerned, their size and power virtually disqualify them from even appearing as Smash fighters. They're simply too big and strong to really pose a fair challenge to other players, especially concerning their status as the Matriarchs of Gemkind. I might give a little leeway if someone requests Pink Diamond, but that's still a bit of a stretch.
Third, we have to have a good idea of the characters fighting prowess and capabilities as fighter, as well as whatever special gimmicks they have from the shows, movie and games. Because of this, I also won't be taking requests for Emerald, Holly Blue Agate, Topaz (alone or Fusion), Aquamarine, the Off-Colours, Squaridot, the Prism or Hessonite. Although these characters have appeared in the show, games and movie, we never really had an idea of the extend of their strengths and weaknesses like we have with, say, Jasper or Lapis Lazuli. Heck, I know more about what Spinel can do as a fighter than what Hessonite can do.
With all of that said, the requests are now open! If want to see your favourite character from Steven Universe be given the Smash treatment, simply leave who you'd like to see in your review, as well as any ideas you have for a moveset. I'd also appreciate it if you guys follow and favourite the story, as that will give me the encouragement to keep going with this series.
Thanks for reading!
