Click here for a video of Fix It Felix Jr.
Fix It Felix is a arcade game about a construction team that clears out a forested area to build a apartment building named Niceland. Wreck-It Ralph lives in one of the tree stumps and lives happily alone in it. His stump gets pushed to the dump when the construction crew clears the forest, and Ralph gets mad! Ralph screams "IM GONNA WRECK IT!" and begins destroying the Niceland building. Its up to Fix It Felix Jr, a local handyman, to fix all the damages Ralph causes. If Felix is succesful, he will earn a medal and Ralph will be thrown off the building by the citizens of Niceland. Wreck-It Ralph will try to stop Felix by pounding the building and making bricks fall at Felix.

In Litwak's Arcade, many video games come and go. Fix It Felix Jr has been a popular choice and has remained in the arcade for a long time. 30 years to be exact. After being thrown off buildings for 30 years, Ralph begins to question why he still does his job. He becomes jealous of Felix, because he is such a good guy and gets medals all the time. He no longers wishes to be a bad guy. When Ralph learns that the Niceland citizens are throwing the 30 year anniversery party without him, he comes to the party and asks Felix to come in, feeling insulted he was left out when he played such a important role. The citizens are not to thrilled with the idea, but Felix does not have the heart to turn him away. He invited him in, but the citizens get angry at him because he is the bad guy. Ralph leaves the party angry and sad, and leaves his game in search of a hero's medal to prove he is not such a bad guy, rather a good guy who just does his job.
Why Ralph for SSB4?
The idea of Fix It Felix Jr may not be the most original idea, but Ralph's actions in the arcade game and though the movie can bring some fun new gameplay to SSB4. With the Brawl roster already at 35 (mostly) original fighters, it might be little hard for someone with just big hands and a need to wreck to have a completely original moveset, but it can be done. Hes a recognizable character because of the movie now, and has gained plenty of popularity. It certainly would not repulse many gamers from buying SSB4 if he made a appearance. Im sure he would be a welcome addition. He was programmed to wreck, so he would not be too friendly of a fighter unlike Peach for example. One of the themes of his movie was to bring video games together, which is EXACTLY what Super Smash Bros is about.
What brings him out of the "completely impossible" catagory is that there were so many Nintendo and Namco (also working on SSB4) referances in the movie. In terms of Nintendo and Namco; Bowser, Pacman, Pacman Ghost, Dig Dug and the Dig Dug enemies were all in the movie, Mario was mentioned but not seen. So he does have a chance at this point, be it slim or big. Also, a Sega racing game will be featuring Ralph in it's roster, showing Ralph might have future connections with any characters that appeared in his movie. He was also in an arcade game before the film released and the first official Wreck-It Ralph game came out before the movie exclusive to nintendo consoles.
Possible Objections
Ralph's moveset might just be a copy of Donkey Kong's moveset
This is a possibility, as the idea of Donkey Kong (the game) is very similar to Fix It Felix Jr. Donkey Kong and Ralph do have their similarities, but it really be just up to the SSB4 team's imagination. There is also the movie aspect of Ralph, which could help diversify Ralph's moveset.
Did Ralph's game "Fix It Felir Jr" come out first, or did the movie come out first?
While the movie was in production, a Fix It Felix Jr came out before the movie's public release. BUT the game was based on the movie. Its hard to make the call on Ralph's eligilbilty of "being a video game first", but the whole theme of the movie IS games. This is something that just have to be open for discussion if you want to get specific about his qualifications.
Disney and Nintendo never really had many cooperations in the past.
This is true. There are probably no games, shows, movies, or any other media where Disney and Nintendo have their characters interacting. But the Wreck-It Ralph movie is where you see Disney and Nintendo working together finally (and many other companies including SEGA and NAMCO). It may just be my personal hope, but I can see Ralph in some sort of Nintendo game in the future. The next Mario Kart could very well have Ralph. We will just have to wait and see for Super Smash Bros 4.
