Dr. Eggman: The Missing Villain? - Challenger Approaching

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to another episode of Challenger Approaching! In this series, we discuss characters who could find their way into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate or future entries, then go into ludicrous detail on what they would be like if they joined the fight for real!

This episode, we turn to someone who actually became a realistic option after recent events. Additional Sonic characters find themselves brought up in Smash speculation sometimes, but never seriously since we hadn't yet seen two guest fighters from the same series (other than echo fighters). With Sephiroth breaking that barrier, though, the path is wide open for third party franchises to double up if the stars align! A fact that was not lost on the Smash or Sonic fandoms, as many of them started wondering if the blue blur's archnemesis could be next.

But beyond the hype and discussion, are the stars actually aligning for Dr. Eggman to join the fight? More importantly, if he did get in, how could his nearly 20 years of boss battles and other source material be used to create his moveset? Let's take a look.
