Y'all seem to forget that AlL-Stars has Sir Daniel Fortesque!!!
Undead and unpredicatble. He is so damn clumsy that the enemies could not even see his moves coming!!
You know except the god characters of course (which could cause him to run away)

SSB ofc. Better gameplay, chars, and mostly better game.

Time to end this once and for all. Samus has the Volt Driver, a weapon capable of making multi-terrawat shots. The world used 16 terrawatts in 2008. Samus uses this on most of the All-Stars and they're dead. Samus also has nukes, with the power bomb. Donkey Kong can punch the moon out of orbit. Sonic can go light speed with lightspeed attack. Snake makes Raiden go to the a Smash Bros because Snake wqs Raiden's mentor.

Nice try but I can counter that. Ratchet uses Golden Groovitron, the entire Smash Bros Roster is forced to dance against their will for as long as Ratchet decides. Meanwhile, Ratchet also uses His Rift Inducer to take Kirby to another Dimension. Jak freezes time, Sly steals every item of importance that the opposing team has, and Kratos uses the Master Sword to kill Ganon. Cole destroys Samus's suit using his powers, Ratchet (while also still using the Groovitron) uses the RYNO V and you won't have anything left of Donkey Kong. Link can't do shit now because he doesn't have any useful gear at all. Sonic can't move because he's stuck dancing, so big daddy is  free to go and drill him to death. Zeus and Cole cooperates, and shock the rest, the end.

Eh, I consider 'god' to be gender-neutral. The fact that Ashera was female doesn't lessen the achievement. Though I suppose using Yune's power might.

Also, I read the OP too fast, didn't realize this was only Melee characters, which puts at SSB at a handicap. I still hold that cartoon characters have an edge over realistic ones, as the former have a much more flexible universe. Add to that characters like Mewtwo (who can just clone the entire PSASBR cast), Ganondorf (who can only be defeated in his own universe), and Mr. Game and Watch (who can basicaly create anything out of thin air), and it seems like Smash has this.

Though of course...there isn't really a right answer to this. Just fan lolz XD

Don't worry, I was just being politically correct. I wasn't undermining Ike's power. Love the Avatar BTW.

Can anyone give a reason why being forced to dance would prevent Ness or Mewtwo from using their psychic powers to crush everyone's skulls and then fling them into the sun

You cannot grasp the true form of Giygas' attack, yet Ness held that shit like a champ. Why would a fancy gun stop him

I didn't know that Ratchet had light speed reaction. Sonic can just buzzaw through him at lightspeed. In Sonic 06, Sonic became 1-3 of time. MegaMan also has a time stopper and is immune to time stops. Kratos can't use the Master Sword, Fi won't allow it. Cole can't destroy the suit of Samus. The suit can withstand lava, the entire electricity grid of the earth and the gravity of Zebes, which has 865 G. To put that into perspective, the sun produces a gravitational force of 25G.

Kratos got nothing on villager

The PSAS have no chance against the Smash Bros. Here's why:

Samus Aran: Samus with the Endgame Suit in Super Metroid is one of the most broken characters in Video Game history. Her Screw Attack makes her INVUNERABLE to ALL ATTACKS, and there is NO LIMIT to how long she can do it. PluS everything she touches gets hurt or dies. If she spams Screw Attack on Kratos he can't hurt her and boom... Kratos IS SCREWED (see what I did there?). That plus Super Missiles that shake the screen, Super Bombs that take up the whole screen, and a 10- foot long Hyper Beam that is like the first OHK in the history of gaming (it literally incinerates ememies).

Sonic: Sonic is the fastest thing alive! He goes light speed. He'll kill them all 7 times before they even realized they've been attacked!

Link: Link has ALWAYS BEEN AN UNDERDOG AND THAT'S HIS STRONG POINT. They'll probably have a Davy vs. Goliath thing going against him and we know how that story turned out. Plus Link has 15 GENERATIONS of saving the world (Each game is another generation. Hence why his name is Link. Each Hero is Linked to one another spiritually). Even Kratos would have his hands full with his stragedy, puzzle solving ability to exploint EVERY ENEMIES WEAKNESS, let alone someone like Dante or Raiden. That and he has the Triforce of Courage, Medallians that can cause earthquakes, thunderstorms, and volcanic eruptions, bombs, God Blessed weapons, temporary invulerability, and the video game eqivilant of Batman's utility belt at his disposal.

Ike: The Slayer of the Gods and the Hero of Blue Flame. He destroyed a Demi-God Mad King and saved a Kingdom from genocide, defeated a Medieval Darth Vader TWICE, Killed a Dragon-God, and killed the Goddess that created the World. I swear it's like this guy eats steroids for Breakfast....

The Duckhunt Dog: Troll laughing while Smash chars pwns all of them.

This is omitting the Broken Ness, Pit, broken Kirby, Palutena, Meta Knight, Mega Man, Gannondorf, Princess Zelda, Mario, and MANY more.

P.S. Just because the character in those games have an "M" for Mature rating don't mean the Smash Heroes aren't as badass as them...
