Blue Ike = Mega Marth = Win

I also like Pink Falcon, Luigi, and Meta Knight, because it makes them all manlier.

Lol, I remember on a prolimar's article, Negrolimar was good in the Oli-Diddy matchup, simply because the banana in negrolimar's hand becomes less apparent.

Light blue Gaw has a tactical advantage in that you can't tell if his bucket is full or not(because he starts flashing when he does, and it's hard to tell over a light color).

Yellow suited Olimar is a decent pick against Diddy, because it's harder for him to tell whether you're holding a banana or not.

Edit: Crap, ninja'd by Blissard

No color really doesn't matter, but who the hell would want to play something they hate looking at? Surely not me, for starters.

Anyway, i go all variations of Samus, Blue, Green, and Gold color Link.

well, when you think about it, a dark color for say falco or snake will blend into halberd/frigate/dark stages, whereas super bright blue G&W is super visible. you could argue it's a slight tactical advantage lol

Blue Lucario, Jigglypuff with a lil' flower on her head, and Dark Link.

But if a character is blue, I'll probably love them.

Most people pick their color to be more like a username or signature at first. I choose my colors based on the other character. I won't be silver/black bowser when fighting normal ganon or snake, but I would choose blue bowser against pikachu. I have vision problems and it really helps when the colors are contrasting.

Using different colors gives me certain psychological boosts. I use red Jigglypuff when I play on average, but I switch to green after loosing a game to a tough opponent. I kind of think of it like powering up. Like Goku going super saiyan I guess is a way to put it haha. Also sometimes using the same color gets boring, and I start to play worse. Switching colors gives me a fresh mindset.

I think characters like Pika and Jiggz who wear articles of clothing with each costume change may gain a small advantage by tricking the opponent into thinking their hurtboxes are larger then they actually are.
