SSB Headcanons - Ultimate Edition

[PF9]

All four variations of Hero live in the Smash Mansion, but they do not like to be simply called Hero (contrary to the official Smash stance).

They are all called by the residents of the Mansion by their proper names: Luminary, Erdrick, Solo, and Eight.

All of them have joined Marth's alliance.

Current alliance rosters:


Link's Faction:
Pit
Toon Link
Palutena (her reasoning: you mess with Pit, you mess with me)
Sheik
Dark Pit (since he is referred to as simply Pit by most of the other Smashers, he feels he needs to side with Link)
Male Villager (since he and Toon Link are best friends)
Female Villager (same reason as Male Villager)
Ness (same reason as Male Villager)
Lucas (same reason as Male Villager)
Yoshi (he and Link were buddies in SSE)
Diddy Kong (the "fifth wheel" to TL, Lucas, Ness and Male Villager)
Pichu Big (he and Yoshi are good friends, as Yoshi is good with babies)
Female Inkling (same reason as Male Villager)
Male Inkling (same reason as Male Villager)
Mario (Yoshi's pal)
Young Link (same reason as Male Villager)

Marth's Faction:
Ike
Meta Knight
Lucina
Male Robin
Female Robin
Shulk
Mii Swordfighter
Roy
Cloud
Male Corrin
Female Corrin
Chrom
Luminary
Erdrick
Solo
Eight

Since my “main hub” headcanon isn’t the popular Smash Mansion but instead Smash City with the Smash Tower apartment complex:

are the only fighters who don’t have a rented apartment in Smash Tower and instead elected to have a hut in a forest close to the city’s outskirts, likely due to their “contract” stipulating they can’t reside directly with their contractors’ competitors. Getting in and out of the city for visits is a breeze though thanks to Kazooie.

Also, the four Heroes have the LARGEST apartment suite in the whole tower, complete with a small balcony veggie garden for Guv.

Cloud by contrast has the smallest apartment and is one of the few Smashers without a roommate. His apartment only has the bare essentials - bathroom, small kitchen, and a small bedroom with his laptop. (He’s not much of a TV person.)

 

[Michael the Spikester]

-Despitekind and gentle nature. Anyone who threatens their son and the Lumas faces her vengeful wrath akin to Asura especially if they makecry whereasdespite his scary and violent appearance is insecure of himself especially being a father trying his hardest to be one with Lucas and the Lumas and has a habit of apologizing to those afterwards about his wifes wrath and too afraid to comfort her about it.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

- If any Smasher values their life, they wouldn’t dare call “Darkie”. Snake did so once and was lucky to get off with a very stern warning...
- can talk, but often chooses not to, letting his actions do the talking. When he does though, his speech is rather eloquent.
- Contrary to popular belief, (at least Banjo himself) gets along pretty well with . Kazooie understandably still doesn’t trust her though.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

being the insecure husband ofand father ofand Lumas he is found out his son has a crush on a girl () and is trying to muster up the courage to finally give him "The Talk" with the help and encouragement of his wife.

 

[Oddball]

Dracula is the only boss that socializes with the fighters. Generally, he does his best to unnerve people and takes great pleasure in creeping them out.

and Dracula gets along well with Bowser and Ganondorf. They enjoy long conversations about evil plans, minions, and castle improvements over a bottle of wine... well, maybe not wine for Dracula, but he does drink from a wine glass.

Cloud doesn't like Dracula and makes no effort to hide this. This is due to both Dracula reminding him of Sephiorth and Dracula's talk of raising the dead.

When nobody else but Luigi is looking, Dracula likes to turn into a hideous monster of bare his fangs and frighten Luigi.

If Pit or Palutena walk into a room, Dracula will leave it.

Don't let Dracula and Snake start talking. They will inevitably start talking about the horrors of war and what Drac has to say on the subject tends to depress even Snake.

Dracula is often followed around by miis dressed in vampire costumes, hockey masks, and other "spooky" costumes. Drac treats them as hapless minions.

Dracula has tried to playfully seduce Bayonetta on several occasions. She can see right through him.

 

[crazybenjamin]

Thought I'd come up with some headcanons regarding the Assist Trophy Club.
Waluigi hates being stuck in AT Club, and is constantly trying to come up with plans to infiltrate the playable cast. The rest of the club always tells him his plans are ridiculous and won't work, but he never listens. He calls himself leader of the club, but the general consensus is that the club doesn't really have a leader.
Ashley mostly keeps to herself, and she's starting to get used to the AT life. Although she still has dreams of joining the playable cast, she appreciates how relaxing it is not having to put up with the responsibilities that the playable fighters have. She sometimes calls Waluigi "Uncle."
Shovel Knight is just happy that he gets to be involved in the action at all. But after seeing the Sans costume, he started to get a bit jealous...
Chef Kawasaki is the dedicated cook for not only the AT Club, but also the playable cast. Everyone enjoys his soup, but they can't deny that something seems...off about it.
Alucard and Bomberman became fast friends upon meeting each other. When they're not involved in the action, they cheer on Simon, Richter and Snake.
Krystal blames Wolf for her not being accepted into the playable cast.
Spring Man heard about how Little Mac got promoted back in the day, and now he has a new idol to look up to.
Shadow and Knuckles both really want to join the playable cast, but deep down, they have both resigned themselves to the possibility that Dr Eggman will get in before these two.
Klaptrap and Rathalos are the club pets. Not much else to say about these two.

Wolf's favorite cereal is Cookie Crisp, because of the mascot.

[PF9]

Numerous Smashers have formed stables like the ones in pro wrestling. Some Smashers belong to more than one stable.

One such stable is the Youth Gone Wild stable. Its members? Ness, Pichu, Young Link, Ice Climbers, Diddy Kong, Lucas, Toon Link, Villager(s) and Inkling(s). Whenever some Smashers from this stable fight together, they enter to "Youth Gone Wild" by Asking Alexandria (a cover of Skid Row).

 

[AliceTheGamer]

If Doom Slayer becomes a thing. Early I know but couldn't wait.

-Doom Slayer isnew boyfriend who both met each other while fighting demons coincidentally in the same place.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

has PTSD after being BUSTAH WOLF’d by one too many times. In fact, if Terry genuinely asks Wolf “Are you okay?” Wolf will start screaming.

 

[osby]

has a collection of spare hats and lends them to whenever they pretend to lose theirs.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

has PTSD after being BUSTAH WOLF’d by one too many times. In fact, if Terry genuinely asks Wolf “Are you okay?” Wolf will start screaming.

To top off his trauma even further he's constantly pursued and hunted by bothwho thinks he's a werewolf.

 

[PF9]

Wolf has no interest in Isabelle. He wants to date an actual female wolf. He says that though domestic dogs may closely be related, he feels they are not truly wolves.

When in his Brian Griffin personality, Duck Hunt Dog once stumbled upon Marth smoking crack.

The exchange went like this:

DHD: Marth, what are you doing?

Marth: Crack.

DHD: What the f***?

Marth: At least I'm not drinking like some certain villains.

DHD: Yeah, but that's not exactly a good substitute.

----

Wolf also wants to play matchmaker for Ash and Gladion's Lycanroc. They could in fact be opposite genders.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

is superstitious. He freaks out the most over: broken mirrors, walking under ladders, and the numbers 4 and 13. Black cats, not so much, ironically.

tends to confuse for Mai, and whenever he does he always asks “Where is she, anyway?”

 

[PF9]

Falco likes grunge music

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Terry is a model train enthusiast.

 

[Night Gale]

Wii Fit Trainer could have stopped Galeem, but she let Kirby do it because he needed the exercise.

 

[osby]

likes synth-pop.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Sharing some from my fanfic, which I may incorporate into another related fic:
- When a fighter is captured by Galeem or Dharkon, their real consciousness is sealed into a dimension of light or dark and they can only watch as their bodies are controlled. Sometimes it’s as easy as I Know You’re In There/Battle In The Center Of The Mind, but sometimes their thoughts/emotions are manipulated.
- The Spirits have consciousness too. When they’re controlled however, it’s like they’re in a dream and they don’t know what’s happening at all until they’re awakened.
- and Demon King Ganon were allowed to exist in the same Sacred Realm at the same time, which is a result of Dharkon tampering with space-time. Galeem did similar with Giga Bowser in the final battle.
- not immediately WoL related: has a one sided crush on .

 

[War Anvil]

As long as She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named becomes a thing:

Spoiler

Misty is about 21 or 22, and she's rockin' her HGSS hairdo. She wears something like the Japanese Electric Tale swimsuit but more modest, light-blue colored, and with some sort of navy spandex pants.
Is half the Pokémon equivalent of Italian, half Kantonian, and was actually born in the former despite evidence to the contrary. She speaks English with an inexplicable, light Joisey accent, but is also fluent in Italian and Japanese.
Believe it or not, Misty's on the autism spectrum! On a more negative note, Dragon-types used to disgust her back when she was a tot, and she forever side-eyes the idea of Dynamax/Gigantamax.
Her Pokémon are Starmie, Dracovish (?!), and Togetic. Togetic is male, and Starmie and Dracovish both have girlier personalities.
The Pokémon crew went loony when Misty entered the Smash facility, except , , and . The former two were weirded out because she doesn't look familiar at all, and Mewtwo just smiled faintly and chuckled. This IS the gal whose Gym was built a mile away from their lair, after all.
She would be interested in poly relationships, but for now she's content with a sole partner. I imagine she could be hooked up with any one between Ash, Brock, Erika, Sabrina, or even the Gen II rival (All adults in her universe, of course).
Misty cares little for Team Rocket, but hopes Giovanni is off somewhere, learning to become a better person.
Most of the Phantom Thieves' jaws hit the floor, among them, because "The Young Lady Looks Like Futaba But Older And Buff. Please Laugh". Futaba herself is un-freaking-impressed and tells the boys to stop gawking.
Lance and her own Blue (Called Gary for whatever reason) helped chaperone her to Smashland once she recieved the proper invitation. This is mainly because Lance and Gary are the current Indigo champion and Kanto's own renaissance man respectively.

Now we move on to some Sanscanons!

Spoiler

Instead of a real Mii Gunner, the schmuck behind the Sans Mask was a "purely good Chara" all along from a new universe where Frisk isn't exactly a thing. He mostly doesn't like humanity still and is shy, but he is less (BLEEP)ed up as a young teen than he was as a kid.
Yes, Chara is a demiboy here, and may go by he/him or they/them.
The Miis viewed him as a curio for the first day of his new life.
This Chara has zero clue what and are supposed to be. The two can change between squids and humanoids, but he goes "Uuuuuuh..." whenever this is brought up. He's more into plant biology, not animal biology, he swears!
He's both impressed and jealous that Shovel Knight appeared by himself as an Assist Trophy.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Christmas headcanon.

told her husbandabout not just about Christmas and Santa but also Krampus and being the nervous insecure husband he is told her to never tell this story to their sonand the Lumas so they don't get any nightmares.

On the related above on the next Halloween. Rosalina decided to stay home to hand out candy to trick or treaters and made an Krampus costume for Ridley to wear while taking Lucas and the Lumas out trick or treating. When Lucas asked his father what he's suppose to be he simply told him he's Santa's brother to spare Lucas from knowing the scary tale of Krampus.

Also Ridley and Rosalina every year goes to Christmas parties dressed as Santa and Mrs. Claus.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Solo (DQIV Hero) is trans. He used to be Sofia.

 

[Rangez]

So, I spend some time revisioning some headcanons of me into a whole "fan universe" (if that's the right term for this anyways.) full of some fun ideas and concepts. I'll be sharing my concept for the "definitive" Smash Mansion of my own accord, and I'll be working some more ideas later on.

The Smash Mansion:

"For this, the main starting point to picturing a comforting place to call home for the various fighters of Smash would be the castle area seen in Ultimate’s Home-Run Contest. From a design standpoint, it’s very rural and perfectly structured with two central buildings.
The inside of the larger building would probably have an enchanting aethstetic akin to many fancy mansions, with a large stair-way leading upwards to the bedrooms and others like them."

"Other additional sections include a dining hall for the daily dose of breakfast, lunch, & dinner, a newly-established training room, an outside park area with a natural scenery & a resting area for picnics & activities, a special showcase room of various mini-statues to gaze upon, and more!"

• The main bedrooms were primarily custom-made for the wide cast of fighters to what fits their style and preferences.

• A few of the bedrooms are exclusively compatible for two people to reside in, those were taken up by Mario & Luigi, Ryu & Ken, Popo & Nana, and (on a surprising note) Cloud & Isabelle. Fortunately, Master Hand is willing to add in more two-person bedrooms if the demand is notable enough.

• Zelda shares her bedroom with Duck Hunt, she had gotten quite attached to the plucky duo to think of them as her own pets during their time together. They really love it when she kindly provides some relaxing belly rubs that feel so smooth and lets the two sleep on her bed.

• Pichu gets to reside in Eight’s bedroom, just so he gets to have more playtime with his little mouse companion, Munchie. In addition, Eight would sometimes tell him bedtime stories reminiscing about his adventure in saving the kingdom of Trodian from a vile curse and how he met his close allies.

• Samus lets Pikachu reside in her bedroom, not only have they known each other since the first Smash Bros. tournament, they also developed a special partnership when they teamed up during the Invasion of Subspace. Pikachu also acts as a personal friend for her to talk to when it comes to her life as a galactic bounty hunter and all the traumatic experiences she bravely faced.

• Jigglypuff (who is referred to as an "it" in my headcanons) unwillingly resides with Sonic in his bedroom. For you see it has Aichmophobia, a fear that’s not commonly shared with other Jigglypuffs like it. Because of this, it’s not exactly to Sonic whenever the Blue Blur tries to interact with them. However, Sonic managed to think of a simple solution by having his quills tied up and covered with a bandana, with that Jigglypuff began to be more comfortable with their roommate and would even willingly sleep beside the hedgehog in the bed.

• Most of the time when they aren’t battling, the fighters of Smash will dress up in more casual attire. Bayonetta is the most noteworthy of this with her large closet full of dresses, high-heel shoes, skirts & more. She greatly bonds with Peach when it comes to the most fashionable clothing lines.

• Orange and Blue (these are my headcanon names for the default Girl & Boy Inklings) may be specialists when it comes to the traditional Inkling sport of Turf War, the both of them are also pro-video gamers too. It was because of the two squid-kids that Master Hand installed the mansion’s own game room filled with old-fashioned arcade machines and various modern consoles connected to a massive screen.

I bet the two of them have quite the friendly rivalry!

Female Byleth goes by Beth in Smash City. She literally just removed the y and l from her name lmao

Here's some new headcanons of mine regarding Spirits:

"Within Ultimate, the game uses alternate color palettes & costumes for the Puppet Fighters to match up with the main appearance of a Spirit along with the various Spirit Battles that homages to them all. Here however, the possessed puppet fighters’ appearances are surreal, disproportionate fusions that mash-up two characters into one. Once a Spirit has been freed from Galeem/Dharkon’s internal control over them and joins the fighters, they can possess them and enhance their overall strength along with additional abilities from Support Spirits."

"With the primary spirits, they are responsible for restoring the fighters’ natural power and abilities back to full strength. The two lords of Light and Darkness made sure to put a decrease in the captured fighters if they happened to get set free. The main sync with this type of Spirit lies in the appearance of the fighters they possess, unlike the soulless puppet fighters make up the armies of two opposing forces, their designs get some notable tweaks and changes depending on the Spirit that they equip, even having some of their personality traits and characteristics."

For example:

• When equipped with the Spirit of the Earth Adept Isaac, Chrom donn's his signature scarf that he wears around his neck, replacing his long silvery-blue cape. In addition, his hair gets a few specks of golden blond in certain areas, Isaac’s gloves replace his own but keep their color scheme, and his main attire overall is now mixed with a couple spots of gold in contrast to the dark blue and silver. Chrom also has access to most of the Adept’s own magical abilities, including his signature earth manipulation and the power to manifest giant hands.

• With the Spirit of the third iteration of Ray MK, Samus’ Power Suit mainly inherits the Robo’s main color scheme along with some extra armor bulk. She gains an upgrade in her natural speed thanks to being equipped with some new jet boosters that also allow Samus to hover.

• Little Mac gets a new set of gloves when equipped with the Spirit of Knuckles the Echidna. He gains his signature spiky fists that are strong enough to break any boulder in the blink of an eye. Along with taking a couple of cues of the Master Emerald Guardian’s appearance, Mac can also dig at a break-neck pace and glide through the air (...albeit, very poorly).

• The Spirit of the Hosidian Princess Hinoka gifts the Princess of Sarasaland with her personal naginata when equipped together. Daisy was amazed by the sheer refinery of the weapon and managed to get accustomed with utilizing this unfamiliar item over time. Her dress was also changed up into a design very akin to the regular attire seen in Hinoka’s home kingdom.

• When equipped with Lanky Kong, Villager not only looks much more simian than human but he also gains his natural abilities of stretching his limbs to great lengths and inflating like a balloon. Needless to say, the mayor of Smashville was quite shocked and overwhelmed about what had become of him from this transformation, but he reminisced back to some personal thoughts about what if he was an animal himself much like his friendly town folk. Soon, he became more accustomed to this form and grew a nice little bond with Lanky in their cooperation together.

• Wii Fit Trainer chose to pair up with Waluigi, as she took his notably flexible movements and tennis skills into account. F.T. (this is a nickname for her in my headcanons) gains a new appearance by wearing a long-sleeved shirt and overalls much like Waluigi that’s mainly colored in light-blue. This also applies to her wearing a modified version of his signature cap, where’s also in a light-blue color scheme along with an upside-down F as the new emblem.
  

 

[crazybenjamin]

The reason and have inaccurate movesets? There are power limiters attached to them.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

As you guys already know among my headcanons isdespite his frightening appearance is really anxious, nervous and insecure. His portrayal of being this bloodthirsty sadistic alien pirate is due to his job being an actor which he stars in the movie series Metroid with/ which is why he's able to support himself and his family(Wife),(Son) and Lumas (Sons).

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Female Byleth goes by Beth in Smash City. She literally just removed the y and l from her name lmao

Actually no, her name is now Blythe because it’s an anagram

started taking up various part time jobs when she found out her time as a secretary is coming to an end - ‘s town is moving to an island now.
