The world of Super Smash Bros. is populated by a vast array of characters. From the famous Super Mario to the obscure Mr. Game & Watch, Smash Bros. has no shortage of wacky and wonderful characters to play as. “Super Smash Bros 4 Wii U and 3DS” not only has the most characters out of any Smash Bros. game, but it also has upcoming downloadable characters that players can fight as in the future. How did Nintendo decide on these DLC characters? They opened up a ballot where players were able to vote on whatever, and I mean whatever character they wanted to appear. Unfortunately, this ballot is now closed, but there are some records of what some of the characters people voted for were. Most players voted on popular characters such as King K. Rool, Bayonetta, Sora, and Banjo Kazooie. Then there were those who selected more… unusual combatants. So without further ado, here are the top five most bizarre characters submitted to the Smash Ballot.

5. Shaquille O’Neal

You know this is going to be a fun list when Shaq is only the fifth weirdest character I’ve found. Unlike some of the other characters on our list, Shaq actually appeared in a game, which was dubbed “Shaq-Fu.” I guess that makes him slightly more qualified for Smash. However, considering his game bombed big time, I think that Shaq’s career in video gaming is about as dead as his movie career. Don’t worry Shaq, at least you’re still the king of Icy-Hot commercials.

4. Gabe Newell

This next DLC character will definitely be worth the wait! Jokes aside, Gabe Newell will probably never be a fighter even if he reached the top of the polls. The reason? The game would crash every time someone plays a three-stock match.

3. Henry Fleming

At least the first two characters are easily recognizable. I had to do a Google search to find out who this competitor was. Henry Fleming is the main character of the novel, “The Red Badge of Courage,” which takes place during the Civil War. Need I say more?

2. Abraham Lincoln

While we’re on the subject of historical characters, here’s our second-weirdest potential smasher. Now who wouldn’t want to pass up the experience of beating up Mario and Link as the 16th president of the United States? I know I would! In all seriousness though, Abe Lincoln would actually be a pretty viable candidate, considering how ridiculously tall he was. Plus his top hat could give him even more reach than Marth’s sword.

Before we reach number 1, here are some (dis)honorable mentions:

Reggie:

Smash was not ready for Reggie.

Shrek:

*insert obligatory “Shrek is love, Shrek is life” joke here*

Slippy Toad:

You already know why…

Tetris Block:

It’s a Tetris block… What else is there to say?

Draven:

Actually… he’d be pretty awesome in Smash.

And now, the moment you’ve been waiting for! The number one most bizarre character that has been submitted to the Smash Ballot! And that character is…

1. Home Depot

Yes, you heard me right. Home Depot. That hardware store that you go to for all your DIY needs has the potential to get into Smash 4. How would it move? How would it attack? Who cares! The mere feeling of being able to play as one of the most successful hardware chains in America would be worth it!

So who do you think is the most outrageous character submitted for Smash 4 DLC? Would you actually not mind having these characters included in the roster? Answer in the comments below!

And remember to keep on smashing!
