If there’s going to be any dark souls rep in Smash bro’s, it would most likely be in the form of player icons, a map or 2, an assist trophy and (maybe) a stage boss. The icons and maps maybe the harder part of inclusion but the assist trophy or trophies and boss would be slightly easier.
Assist Trophies:
Solaire: Would be similar to most sword fighters but will buff himself with lightning blade at random, cast lightning miracles and would heal the person that used the assist trophy. He could also block certain attacks taking the blunt of the damage, however if the damage is high enough it will stagger him leaving him up to a critical attack.
Bonewheel skeleton: Upon being summoned the bonewheel will just go back and forth across the stage damaging anything that gets in the way. The damage would trigger bleed damage if hit long enough. Being rather easy to ko makes it a rather simple assist trophy to deal with, but could easily open up someone to a zero to death if they’re incompetent enough to stay near the bonewheel while being attacked.
Boss:
The only boss I could really agree to was the soul of cinder since it could change from ranged attacks to melee with ease and rather unique fighting style, I think it would be a perfect fit for Ultimate
