Colors make you play better/worse

[Insom]

I feel like certain colors make make me play better/worse. Like when I use black Marth, I play good, and when I use white Marth, I play bad. Honestly, how many white marths do you see?
Everyone uses a specific color on their main. Examples:
Falcon
Darkrain > Black
Hax & Scar > White
Falco
Dr. Peepee > Green
Mango > White
Marth
Ken > Red
Everyone else > Black
Shiek
Mew2king/KirbyKaze > Black
Captain Jack > Red
Fox
Leffen/Sfat/Lucky/Mango > Orange
Hobby > Purple

What do you all think? Who is your main, and what color do you use?
Would you say you play better with that color then others?

Marth, Red

Not that it applies to vs. but I can't for the life of me use white Marth in HRC. Completely throws off my timing for aerials for some bizarre reason.

You know, actually I do pretty good with white Marth sometimes. I imagine that white=god tier and BOOM I play good. It only works sometimes though.

What an awful thread.

It's my first one, give me a break.

I like the thread. I find myself picking a certain color when I want to play serious. I bet many people have a serious mode color.

I am white Marth user myself. Its looks best in my eyes. It makes me stand out I suppose, which is nice. The white is classy.

 

[Insom]

I study how to use characters by watching tourneys and whatnot on youtube, and most people use black, so that's probably why I use play good with black marth.

Anyone who isn't using giant bow Jigglypuff isn't even using the character right.

I dunno. Mango used the crown, and he played come pretty convincing matches against Armada at Genesis.

 

[GCS Gaming Customs]

Pink Falcon!

 

[Anand]

For Jigglypuff, I prefer the green color (the headband that Hungrybox uses) because the ribbon helps me visualize my momentum.

I once picked red Falco when playing with my friend who plays red Falco and is much more easily confused and flustered than I am, despite him having the much better Falco, and I actually managed to win (we color glitched and both played Falco).

Mango switched up his Falco colors against PP at a major tournament (maybe ROM4) to make PP think he wasn't playing seriously, when he actually was.

Game & Watch players (and some other characters, to some extent) can pick colors that blend in more on different stages, particularly those with dark backgrounds or dark lighting, like Kongo Jungle 64.

Color switching as a mindgame confirmed.

What an awful thread.

What an awful post.

u mad?

 

[BL!TZ]

That's not very nice Bones ;_;

I can't take myself seriously when I use Pink Falcon.

It's bad enough when I'm suppose to be playing seriously I start Falcon punching like an idiot.

Pink Falcon is still beautiful.

Real talk, color can make subtle changes to a person's mood. For example, wearing red will make people who see you subconsciously more excited or intimidated, while blue is more calming. It's super minor but it's there.

What do you think darker colors (such as black) do?

Black usually depicts grief or fear

Being constantly exposed to blue kind of makes me depressed all of the damn time. It's such a dull, bland hue.

The only ones I know/agree with are that Yellow induces insanity and seafoam green is calming.

It also means sophistication
No wonder mew2king is so good.

According to this wiki:

Violet/Purple
Authority
Sophistication
Power

Guess who's going to use purple marth in Project M

 

[Kink-Link5]

Violet evokes ideas of mysteriousness as well, being the most uncommon colour in nature. This is in all likelihood why it is also associated with royalty- being able to afford large amounts of violet dyes alongside rare metals such as gold in your wardrobe meant you had the means commoners did not.

On a related note, violet is the rarest naturally occurring eye color.

WHY THE **** CAN'T I UPDATE MY AVATAR

I don't know. Are you doing it right?

 

[Strong Badam]

placebo. use your favorite color and you'll probably have more fun.


i use purple marth but red diddy. depends on the char

I don't know. Are you doing it right?

I updated it a week ago I'm pretty sure I'm doing it right by pressing "upload your own avatar" and then pressing okay after selecting the avatar and getting a "Avatar updated successfully"

Trying to update it to:

Also mahogany is a pretty cool colour does anyone have a mahogany pallet?

 

[Insom]

Can't think of any off the top of my head

 

[felipe_9595]

If i play anything but green scar Falco (Yes, the texture hack) i suck, an thats a problem when nobody uses texture hacks

You should probably consider playing without texture hacks when you play serious.

Don't understand the white Marth hate. It's so clean; a heavenly prince. Red is cool too, much more intimidating than black.
CF - Red
Falco - Red
Fox - Blue
Sheik - Blue

 

[Kink-Link5]

I feel like people who use white Marth are disadvantaged in most areas of life.

 

[Ziodyne]

I'm almost certain darkrain is my worst color. I generally play better in any other color. Best is some combination of isai, hax, and ss. Sometimes jiano on a weird day.

 

[SpiderMad]

Dark Green Falco on Battlefield is hard to see (so it's best color if you're playing there, nothing like adding more jank advantage to your Falco game). In Smash 64 they banned certain character's black textures on DKJungle.

Cyan Falco sure is stylish though, especially from Mango and Zhu playing him

 

[bearsfan092]

I always play purple Fox or blue Falco. Just easier for my eyes to track them on the screen for whatever reason.

 

[Grunt]

Green is the worst on every character.

 

[RFrizzle]

There needs to be more purp in Project M
Purp marth is just so ****ing pimp grimy
Moar purp plox

 

[Insom]

I'm almost certain darkrain is my worst color..

Lol darkrain as a color.

Green is the worst on every character.

That would mean Luigi, Yoshi, Link and Young Link's default colors make them bad.

Blue/White Peach
Green Fox
