SMASH 150 - 000 - MASTER HAND

Description

This one is brand new because the idea only came to me a couple of days ago.

Master Hand in Smash???
As I mentioned in my Daisy entry: professorfandango.deviantart.c… I would expect the final newcomer to have some air of importance around it, like they'd want to go out with a big bang.
I don't really know any Nintendo characters who would be such a huge surprise (especially with Ridley already confirmed) and while it could be a guest character, there is another possibility!

(I know he's technically a Nintendo character but I think you know what I mean.)

What about somebody to represent the Smash series itself? Somebody who originated from Smash and has been in every single game to date? Master Hand has been in more games that some of the fighters!
The Smash Bros series has generated quite a lot of original content, and much of it I don't care for. Specifically in the Subspace Emissary - which was great in every other sense - I didn't understand why they set it in a bland, characterless world full of enemies that - in my very debatable opinion - were kind of ugly. Why not use the rich, colourful worlds and enemies of the Nintendo franchises that this series celebrates?

But Master Hand is a bit of a different story. The whole 'narrative' of the series is that the fighters are toys that are being played with by a child's hand, which manifests in the 'imagination world' as a giant oppressive glove. Simple, but makes sense, right? For that reason some might consider it wrong for Master Hand to be on the same level as other fighters but Smash is often referred to as a 'dream match-up' kind of game so I don't think it would be a particularly bad idea.

Plus his moves would be easy to translate into a fighter! Instead of floating he would 'walk' around in his fingers and his many digits would afford him lots of different standard attacks. Then things like fingertip bullets, spinning hand missile attack and others would fit neatly into the special moves!

And technically he could be a boss AND a fighter, though we haven't heard anything about modes for the new game yet so we don't know exactly what role Master Hand will have. But I would play as him!
