Hello, I am mzyi and this is my first Reddit post. I wanna talk about my most requested character for Smash Ultimate, which is Peter Griffin. It feels like whenever I legitimately say “I want Peter Griffin in Smash Bros”, people always assume I’m memeing or joking, but that certainly isn’t the case. Family Guy is one of my favourite shows, and Smash Bros is definitely one of my favourite video game series, so naturally I thought a combo of the two would be nice.

Why he deserves to be in the game:

Family Guy is an old show, starting all the way back in 1999, and the show is still running today. Family Guy is one of the largest faces of the adult cartoon community, and to add on to that the show has received some pretty great ratings over the year. Because of this it’s safe to say that Peter is somewhat of an icon in the world of adult cartoons. On the show, we have learned that Peter Griffin can definitely hold his own in a fight. Not only this, but other Nintendo characters have appeared or have had references on the show as well. For example, we’ve seen Mario and Luigi appear in the show a few times, as well as Mario, Peach and Bowser having their own little short. Other games have been referenced that appeared on Nintendo consoles, such as Punch Out and Street Fighter. Finally, Peter and his friends have also used an NES console to play some sports games featured on the console. This proves the fact that Peter has had at least minimal interactions of Nintendo characters.

Moveset:

I even managed to think of a pretty good moveset for Peter. His aerials and smash attacks could be anything, so I will only share my ideas for the specials.

Neural B- Meg projectile Origin: Meg is generally known as the punching bag of Family Guy, and her being used as a projectile for Peter would be no surprise considering he constantly bullies her.

Side B- Roadhouse Kick Origin: Peter is known to do a special roundhouse kick that he got from a movie. This kick is called roadhouse. In the episode it appears in, Peter constantly uses this kick to utterly destroy others who defy him or others.

Down B: Fart Blast Origin: Peter farts a lot. This could simply be a different version of Warios fart blast, except maybe with less knockback, but more height and damage.

Up B: Petercopter Origin: Peter has had many special vehicles overtime, one of which was the Petercopter. I really didn’t have too many ideas for Up B, but I feel like this could work.

Final Smash: Bird is the word dance Origin: Peter finds his new favourite song in an episode, in which he constantly plays that song along with a dance he created, annoying everyone around him.

Skins: I’d imagine for Peters skins it would just be a basic palette swap for his clothing. Here are some characters they could be based on: -Quagmire -Lois -Stewie -Joe -Retep -Meg -Sexy Peter distracting the guards

Conclusion: So, in conclusion, I feel that Peter would be a fine addition to Smash, factoring in popularity, moveset potential and reasonable points to put him in the game. I really hope Peter can make it in, but let me know what you think, and what you want Peter Griffin in Smash Bros 🙂
