I was bored and decided to brainstorm a collab of 2 of my favourite games. I tried finding concept art for every overwatch hero to really fully show off the vibe to people that are unfamiliar with them, but gave up halfway through. Sorry for that.
Anran as Shantae:
The fiery flanker Anran makes a great fit for Shantae. She has a fun personality, already wears a ponytail, and incorporates a lot of dance-like movements into her kit.
Shion as Risky Boots:
Shion is a brutal, crazy robotic leader of an evil organisation that augmented her body to look like a woman. She wields dual guns and rides a motorbike, but ultimately her personality made me decide on her.
Honorable mention is Widowmaker. They both have a weird skin color and both use a grapplehook. Though I don't really see Risky as a sniper, and Widowmaker has a much quieter and calmer personality than risky, I'd be okay with her.
Tracer as Rottytops:
The og poster child of overwatch. Honestly not much to say here, they both have short hair and I thought rottytops would fit tracers sihoulette best. Arguments can be made for other picks like Juno or Kiriko.
Freja as Sky:
Sky has a cape and her name is literally "Sky". Freja has a cape and spends a lot of time ingame in the air. I wanted to make sierra work first, as dorothy could be a cool match for sky's bird, but her sihoulette is just too different.
Bolo as... Wuyang, Genji, or Junkrat?
This was the hardest to match. Bolo is a skinny, clumsy, not-so-bright and cocky guy. Wuyang would be a good fit, though he's not nearly as musculare. Junkrat is lanky but very crazy. Genji is a bit childish and slow at times, but is also a very mobile and agile ninja. Choose whoever u like best, or comment who u think should be bolo!
TorbjΓΆrn as Uncle Mimic:
This was a nobrainer. Short, chubby, long-bearded old guys that are also mechanics? Like torbjΓΆrn was made for this.
