I was told to make a Best XI out of Super Smash Bros. in honor of the World Cup. [Editor’s note: Glad you’re psyched to be doing this, Kofie. Love to see that “Mom told me I have to empty the dishwasher” enthusiasm in the opening sentence.]
The definitive ‘Super Smash Bros.’ Best XI in honor of the 2018 World Cup
Don’t at me.
Keep in mind we all have opinions and all of our opinions are trash in some way, shape or form.
Except for mine. LET’S DO THIS.
For a formation, we’re going with an attacking 3-4-3. We’re taking the game to them. I don’t know much about soccer, please bear with me. [Editor’s note: Great.]
Goalkeeper: Kirby.
Nothing escapes him. NOTHING. Try almost any shot you want and it’s not getting past him. He can also float to get to shots out of his reach. He can also kick the shit out of you and absorb the other team.
Left back: Kirby
Oh, I can’t use Kirby for every position? Fine.
Left Back: Bowser
He has a shell with SPIKES on it and can BREATHE FIRE.
Center Back: Wii Fit Trainer.
Do I have to explain myself?
The combination of fitness and power should strike fear into anyone dumb enough to attack.
Right Back: Pokemon Trainer
I’d be able to switch between these Pokemon and not have to use substitutions. This was an easy choice!
Left Midfielder: Yoshi
He has both fast feet and a quick tail. One of the more versatile characters on the roster. It’s an easy choice.
Center Midfielder: Fox
Fox’s dashing speed and mobility make him super versatile. I want Fox around the ball at all times, no matter what.
Center Midfielder: Captain Falcon
He’s the obvious Captain. What you thought I was going to make someone with CAPTAIN in their name NOT the captain? Come on now.
Right Midfielder: Lucario
Lucario is here for the swag points and kicking power. What’s not to love?
Left Wing: Sonic
Why would you not want Sonic’s speed and ability to curl up into a ball and wreck you on your side?
Striker: Mewtwo
Its height, psychic ability and tail make it the PERFECT Target for crosses, set pieces and corners.
Right Wing: Lucas
Quick feet. Did a bicycle kick in the Smash Bros. Ultimate reveal. I’m in.
