"darkorchid" specifically.

Go ahead. Throw your most wanted onto it and convince everyone that it'll work. I'm serious. I'm willing to see the wars fought over this color.

don’t need to. Just type up professor Layton and the miracle mask box art and you’ll see why Layton fits with purple.

Common professor Layton W right here. Critical thinking is the key to success as one gentleman would say.

So now that we 100% know the last character is this Nahobino guy, can I close this thread down? Discussing the potential character further would be fruitless since, by what you say, it’s a done and locked deal.

Thread is closing in T-minus 10 seconds. Thanks everyone for a great speculation period. Seems rather ridiculous to discuss further speculation knowing he’s all but confirmed.

Nahobino is truly a lock. IF YOU DON'T GET THAT EVERYTHING IS LINING UP FOR NAHOBINO, YOU ARE STUPID

Idk, first thought that came to mind when I saw that shade of purple was Rayman.

You don’t have to do this, you know. There is no proof that character is in, after all. Just someone’s opinion.

So the current plan is to dislike bomb the Nahobino reveal trailer?

Got it: Operation God Rejected is a go boys /s

Well this is certainly a development.

Since every character thus far has had their background color taken from their pallet (not always their default pallet, but always one that's derived from cannon), this actually does disconfirm everyone who does not have a repetitively strong shade of purple (EDIT: so nothing like lilac or lavender; has to be darker than that). This is of course, assuming that it's not just a placeholder and will be different when the character drops.

 

[Ivander]

I know Speed Weed brought up a Phantasy Star character, but I don't know enough about the series to really say on that one.

So everyone that folks pointed out potentially for the purple color theory.

Phantasy Star rep

Let me know if I'm missing someone.

So to sort of fill the dots, Nei absolutely fits the Orchid Purple thoery and Alis Landale can fit it too. In Nei's case,

Spoiler: Spoilering for potential NSFW

She practically embodies the color purple and even the color of her outfit is very close to the specific Orchid Purple color. But as you can probably guess, her design reeks of the 80s/90s and is quite NSFW.
In Alis Landale's case, she doesn't quite embody purple compared to Nei, but she has been depicted with purple armor.

Her armor tends to differentiate between purple and dark blue, but a purple background would fit for Alis.

Assuming purple is the color, the Avatar character from PSO2 and Matoi would be rather unlikely, as I'm certain the Avatar character would use Blue since it's practically everywhere in PSO and PSO2. In Matoi's case, she would be more akin to Red/Pink then Purple.

Actually, the background colors sometimes are ones that are barely on the person.

Only requirement, for this color to work overall, is they have purple anywhere on their body. Apparently "moves they do" wouldn't apply. So it could be very subtle too. Doesn't have to be a dominant color.

You're right. This does not confirm Nahobino at all.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Wait I've spent time replaying Touhou Luna Nights which y'all should play as it's a real fun Metroidvania with chronokinesis, what the hell happened in a few hours time

 

[Noipoi]

They better actually close the thread

 

[Evil Trapezium]

Woah wait. What's going on? Did something happen?

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

Wait…is it Nahobino or Nohobino? Personally I prefer Mojojobino

I'd say the background color may also be attributed to elements from their home series or game.

For example: Joker's red palette is more likely based on the color theme of Persona 5, and Banjo's yellow palette is possibly based on Jiggies.

Sephiroth's green background really makes his green eyes pop out don't you think?

Finally time to speculate on Monkey Ball instead

Whoosh

Nahobino, you were the chosen one. You were supposed to save smash, not destroy it! Bring balance to the tiers and deal with Dharkon. You were my brother, Nahobino! I loved you!

Better characters that fit this color theory:

Rera...

Dark Ran...

...and Lilith (because of the purple hair).

It looks like I spaced and didn't finish the sentence. What I meant to say was that they needed to have a relatively strong shade of purple on their pallet.

But yes, it doesn't have to be their dominant color nor does it have to be a color that is on what would be their default costume; it just has to be somewhere on an existing design that would likely be in the game.

 

[Willbuysmash4mw]

You're right. This does not confirm Nahobino at all.

To be honest the only thing I was remotely worried about that could deconfirm Nahobino was the background color.

But of course that fits perfectly too.

1. Thanks for reminding me I need to play Luna Nights.
2. The color purple was datamined on the New Zealand Smash site.

Damn bro that’s crazy
But did SmashBoards ask

 

[Will]

Whoosh

I wanted to save that post until after they closed the thread tbh, or maybe I just enjoy the chaos too much

 

[CannonStreak]

Whoosh

If I read that right, even before then, I am beginning to see why I shouldn’t have said that.

 

[Shroob]

Gonna be a loooooooong couple weeks debating purple.

See you guys in the next Smash cycle decade from now. Or two years from now

 

[SKX31]

Nahobino is going to be so broken that and his ledge grab planking can't even compare.

The first warning signs are already here. He broke this thread.

 

[Schnee117]

Careful, you've enraged the beast

 

[RileyXY1]

Nahobino is not confirmed, and there are plenty of other fighters that this could be referring to.
