Guest characters in fighting games:The rant

If you have played fighting games in the past 20 years, you have seen them: Akuma on X-Men: Children of the Atom, Yoshimitsu, Spawn, Link in Soulcalibur, Gon in Tekken, Hellboy, TMNT, Scorpion on Injustice,  etc.

Well, that's what I want to rant about. Sometimes, these can bring life to a stale game. Other times, they ARE the reason to buy certain games (sc2 on the cube comes to mind). Others make you scratch your head thinking "why?"...

So, I was sleeping earlier today (graveyard shift means sleep during the day like a vampire...) and I had the weirdest dream:
John Lawrence and Daniel LaRusso in Street Fighter V.
Yes, the protagonist and antagonist of the original Karate Kid movie... and the YouTube Red series I can't see, Cobra Kai.
It was awesome. The All Valley Tournament was Johnny's stage and he was fighting Ken while using his Skeleton outfit. (And yes, he sweeped the leg.)
Daniel was on Okinawa during the storm fighting Akuma and crane kicked his way out of a Shun Goku Satsu. Daniel was in his karate uniform.

Then I saw an intro scene between Daniel and Johnny on Ryu's stage. They acknowledged their past encounters before fighting. All this while a cover of this song was on the background:


Then I woke up. Sadly, there are no Karate Kid guest characters on Street Fighter V...
But that got me thinking. I would love to see Dracula and a Belmont on a theoretical Darkstalkers 4. Not sure if I had mentioned this before. I know that Injustice 2 has a completwd roster and no more guest characters, but if not in two, then injustice 3 NEEDS TO HAVE

We KNOW there is a MOTU/Injustice crossover so, perfect synergy would mean to have an appearance by He-Man  (and Skeletor) on an Injustice game... or even better if Injustice 3 has the core MOTU crew as a hint to an official MOTU Fighting game... but Mattel might be the biggest hurdle here. Their "higher ups" aren't the smartest tools in the shed based on comments by Scott Neitlich when he was the fandom's champion of all things He-Man. (While he didn't flat out say it, his remarks on how he had to fight for every little thing puts them in an unfavorable light... and it doesn't take a genius to add 1+1)

Hell, Right now I would take the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers on SFV... (second team, because Thuy Trang is dead and we can't get new voicework from her.)
They lend themselves for that. Special and super moves would use their power weapons...
Alternate outfits would be:
Civilian, Ninjeti, movie hard armor.
Of course Tommy would get 3 extra outfits:
Green, Civilian green, Super Power Beatdown green. (Maybe different attack animations and taunt while green)

But nothing will ever be as creepy as the Camel Chocobo in an Ass.Creed title.
