how would you feel if we got Medusa or Hades as the next fighter (kid icarus)
Be honest with you?
Because I prefer 3rd parties and because I have no attachment to the Kid Icarus series, I'd feel bland if that happened.
On the plus side, more villains! Love me some villains!

I'm tired of all the anime swordfighters fire users in the roster. I want more variety, like, we should get more characters with electric moves beyond Pikachu and Pichu. That would be nice.
If I could have any electric fighter, I’d have to go with Electabuzz. It’s one of my favorite Pokémon ever but I don’t think it’s chances are very high.

I'd be fine with Medusa (I don't think she needs to be more than an echo of palutena but I digress), Pretty happy with Hades , but I can't really see it happening without some sort of promotion like a new KI game or a port of uprising.

As far as electricity-based characters go, I'd like to see Plusle & Minun

I remember these two having a pretty sizeable following during the speculation between Brawl and Smash 4, but it disappeared out of irrelevancy, I could see them being a "two semiclones of each other that share a roster slot" deal like Pyra and Mythra, where they use the same moves but have different properties: maybe Plusle deals more damage but Minun is faster and has better frame data. Since they're the Cheering Pokemon, maybe one of them is in the back cheering the other on. The harder one cheers, the stronger the other gets, and they cheer more the better the player performs, making them a very momentum-based fighter.

So what is the color theory?

All I keep seeing is the next fighter is supposed to be pink???

Sonic anniversary...Pink...could it be Amy?

Basically, a user here on Smashboards used math to determine the most likely color the next fighter will use on the official website, and they came up with a shade of pink.

Sounds ridiculous, but this method worked to figure out the color for Pyra and Mythra (or so I've heard).

This is how Toxtricity wins

I mean, c'mon. It's Electric/Poison and has a punk rock motif, how can you not love it?

Ye. The color was supposed to be pink... however... I think that might change. I dunno if any of you remember, but I used to calculate multiple colors. Well, the aspect is most likely coming back! So... stay tuned for not just... a color... but colors. :colorful:

I mean Robin did get in before Chrom ever did. Just saying.
We're not getting a second tier protagonist who is not even going to show up in the film series for the time being before the main villain who's been there since Day 1. Since Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow are all deconfirmed for various reasons Eggman is now the most likely candidate for the 2nd Sonic rep.

if we do get a gen 8 mon I hope its Toxtricity or one of the other unique ones.

literally no other character on the roster has a poison or music themed fighting style

Well, Plant has its poison cloud.


Joker's side-b could also be considered 'poison', since 'curse damage' is a bit hard to visualize.

I'm not petty enough to be like "URGH I HATE THIS CHARACTER" beside a Pokémon. I got the fighter pass, I'll enjoy the character just like another. If it's someone I love, I'll main them, if not, I'll use them in freeplay
I don't think it's petty to not pay for a character you don't want.

It depends how much I like their moveset. If I don't like it, I would be irritated by their inclusion. If I like it, I still wouldn't be very excited.

Adding on to this, the whole thing is 99% just for fun. Somehow actually getting Pyra and Mythra's color right is just a funny coincidence, like how that %$#@posty Flame "leak" we managed to talk about for a page or two actually became true with Pyra's codename.

That's not an applicable comparison; Eggman isn't going to get turned down for being too similar to Sonic.

Plus Robin was still one of that game's protagonists. Not like they chose Tharja.
That is correct. Putting Amy in over Eggman would be one of Smash's strangest decisions ever.

This is Olimar erasure! Rude! (and Hero and Robin)

Speaking of colors, I found the elusive fighter color for :ultbrawler: , :ultswordfighter: , and :ultgunner: , instead of the unify color for the :ultmiifighters: .

For context, this is color for the Mii Fighter on the official site:


Thanks to a recent JP online tournament announcement showing off the character roster to be used in that event, the color for the individual Mii have been finally uncovered:


Source: Super Smash Bros online tournament (May 31, 2021)

Too bad, the individual colors for :ultsquirtle: :ultivysaur: :ultcharizard: have yet to be found, as :ultpokemontrainer: is still being used. I guess the message of Pokemon Trainer being counts as one continue to be true.
