:4palutena: and :4zss: are both the top two looking females determined by the males.

:4charizard:,:4diddy:,:4dk:,:4duckhunt:,:4pikachu:, and :4yoshi: secretly have deep and meaningful conversations with each other in their own language

Cross:4zss::4littlemac::4falcon::snake: All come from Earth. in Xenoblade X Earth was reformed by the aliens after it was destroyed different escape pods went to different places. Little Mac became awfully depressed when boxing was considered unnecessary and started wrestling. Captain Falcon and Samus were in the same escape pod, their city quickly flourished and they created rockets and colonized other planets. Most life forms survived (excluding the remaining humans), especially plants. Inferior bugs and other creatures were dropped on Earth by the aliens including the mysterious almost extinct Pikmin :4olimar::4alph: later had their adventures there.

The Duck Hunt character is a Stand user. What's their Stand, you ask? The Gunmen, of course.

Here are some more:
*Captain Falcon has a crush on Samus, which makes sense as they are both bounty hunters
*Dr. Mario is the official doctor for all the Smashers, He is also a drug dealer, providing all sorts of illegal goodies to the Smashers, as a result he is also called "Dr. Feelgood", as such he's not what you call a glamorous man. Secretly, he's also a drug lord, whose operation has never been discovered.
*The hunter accompanying the Duck Hunt animals is none other than South Park's own Jimbo Kern, much to Pit's horror.
*Lucario's master, Sir Aaron, was likewise revived by Zelda, and the two once starred in a production of "Hair".
*King Dedede and Meta Knight are exactly as they are in the 4Kids English dub of the Kirby anime, complete with accents
*All the female Smashers are BFFs, especially Peach and Rosalina
*Rosalina has a crush on Wario, much to the shock of Peach
*Peach has zero tolerance for intolerance, and will call out anyone who uses slurs, most recently, Pit who slanders Ike and male Robin for being homosexual
*That's right, Pit is homophobic, being an angel and all, he is conservative in every sense of the word, and so is Palutena.

:4robinm: took up playing card games since tacticians are not needed during times of peace. His favorite game is Futurecard Buddyfight (yes that's am actual game and it's...actually fun). He likes to use Dragon World's Thunder Knights because...reasons.
(this is the thunder knights:

http://buddyfight.wikia.com/wiki/Thunder_Knights)

:4shulk::, :4lucina:, :4rob:, and :4bowserjr: really like the latest Disney movie, Big Hero 6. Although they cried a little when
When Baymax sacrificed himself to save Hiro

To further expand on the professional wrasslin' idea I posted earlier, here are some tidbits:

- Ganondorf at one point had a biker persona ala Undertaker, even riding a motorcycle towards the stage. His nickname was "The King of Badass". He no longer uses it due to Wario.

- Bowser, Mewtwo, and Ganondorf once had a stable together. It fell apart after Mewtwo left, with Bowser and Ganondorf feuding against each other.

- Captain Falcon and Marth had a huge feud during the Melee days. Same with Mario, Sonic, and Snake during the Brawl days. Now it's a four way feud between Mario, Sonic, Mega Man, and Pac Man. Other feuds throughout the years include (but not limited to): Falcon vs Lucina and Robin, Shulk vs Link vs Marth, Fox vs Falco, Meta Knight vs any swordsman, and DeDeDe vs Wario.

- The Smash announcers are obviously the ring announcers.

- The Falcon Punch is one of the most hyped up moves during the matches. The crowd goes nuts when Captain Falcon performs it.

DeDeDe vs Wario
That's funny. Another one of my head canons is that Dedede embezzled money from Wario, and was convicted of it, but will not serve jail time but instead perform community service when he is not Smashing, and lots of it.

Most costume changes are just parallel universes of that character.

Except Yoshis and Bowser Jr., R.O.B., and the Wii Fit Trainers

The male Wii Fit Trainer has a bit of a thing for Rosalina, but is too shy to talk to her. (inspired by some pairing arts of them on Pixiv)

Sometimes people call Takamaru Takkie. He of course doesn't like it.

The real reason Captain Falcon was in Robin's trailer was to make sure Validar didn't show up as a result of ripple effects unintentionally caused by Lucina's time travel and the actions she took to change the future that would lead to a time paradox of Validar potentially killing Robin (the reason why is unknown). He was indeed staging the fight, while at the same time being wary if Validar was around. Luckily, that was the "good ending" time line...there was in fact, a timeline in which things didn't go so well...

This was inspired by a dream I had, which was in turn inspired by the trailer for the movie Project Almanac.

I should probably stop watching stuff like Terminator movies before going to bed

Pac-Man doesn't hold a grudge against Mario even though he took the status of being the king of video games from him.

:4duckhunt:gets all the attention from the female cast members, much to some characters' dismay.
:4megaman:is really confused -all the time- and has no idea where he is or what he's doing. He is impossible to hold a conversation with because of how confused he always is about everything.
:4yoshi:and:4jigglypuff:are female.
:4wiifit::4wiifitm:are raging psychopaths with no concept of 'too much' exercise. :4littlemac:is the only person not uneasy in their presence.
:4greninja:tries way too hard to be dark and mysterious. He usually succeeds, however:4kirby:and:4yoshi:are rather fond of his taste and he loses his cool in their presence.
:4gaw:cannot communicate with other characters. Other characters range from finding him cute to finding him creepy as a result.
:4marth:and:4lucina:are uneasy fighting each other and prefer teaming up.
:4bowser:is better in SSB4 because he's trying hard not to embarrass himself in front of his kids.:4mario:,:4luigi:and:4peach:feel sorry for him. His kids are oblivious.
:4zss:admires:4peach:because she interprets Peach's magic as raw talent and is impressed by how carefree and innocent Peach can be whilst still fighting well.
:4zelda:admires:4zss:because she only wishes she could be so heroic.
:4bowser:is constantly trying to kidnap half the cast so that he can steal their magic.
:4sheik:is technically male because weird magical transformations. Zelda aggressively avoids the topic in both forms because she just does not care and finds it annoying when people ask.
:4sonic:can't take fight seriously long enough to win them. Tends to talk a lot. Is afraid of:4peach:because of her tendency to explosively cry or combust into invincible hate flames when teased.
:snake:is hidden in most indoor stages; you just don't know it yet.
:4pacman:,:4kirby:and:4yoshi:have eating contests sometimes. No one survives.
:popo:are gone because :4villager::4villagerf:built a house around them with no doors.

Every character has a partner they use in doubles:
:4mario::4luigi:
:4peach::4yoshi:
:4bowser::4bowserjr:
:rosalina::4palutena:
:4wario2::4gaw:
:4dk::4diddy:
:4link::4zelda:
:4sheik::4greninja:
:4ganondorf::4dedede:
:4samus::4megaman:
:4kirby::4jigglypuff:
:4fox::4falco:
:4falcon::4olimar:
:4ness::4tlink:
:4pikachu::4charizard:
:4marth::4lucina:
:4robinf::4myfriends:
:4pit::4darkpit:
:4villager::4wiifit:
:4littlemac::4lucario:
:4shulk::4metaknight:
:4duckhunt::4rob:
:4pacman::4sonic:

Also, this one is a bit of an odd one, but I thought it would be a cool idea that :4sheik:and:4zelda: aren't the same person, but they're half sisters.

I always had the idea that the Smash 4 Sheik is actually a legendary Sheikah hero. Zelda based her Sheik persona off of her, and doesn't utilise it in this game anymore so as to not insult this ancient hero, since Zelda greatly admires her.

This Sheik being an ancient hero is also why she is more competent compared to Zelda's disguise, and has her own sort of style that Zelda did not have when she took on the role of Sheik.

Headcanon because why not:
:4sonic: challenged :4falcon:, :4pikachu:, and :4fox: to a speed race involving vehicles. :4falcon: was disqualified for being at the finish line (about the length of :fdb: )for "speeding".

:4lucina: is good friends with :4luigi:. Together, they are the inter-time traveling ghost hunters! Their rivals: :4pacman: and his sidekick :4palutena:.

Here's another one:

Pac-Man is deeply afraid of ghosts, to the point where he won't watch movies or TV shows involving them (Paranormal Activity, Supernatural and Ghost Whisperer to name a few)

Yeah that's pretty great. I am totally adopting that as my own headcanon now. <3

Master Hand is absolutely neutral, although essentially benign, regarding his defeat by the Smashers to be a necessary part of the world's inherent existence. He is actually immensely proud of those that defeat him and display their ability to prove themselves as truly legendary heroes and villains.

Crazy Hand, too, is beyond good and evil, yet possesses a fierce passion for bloodlust and destruction. He regards fighting to the death as merely a fun pastime and relishes a good battle, thus he only appears to do battle with truly skilled Smashers, and disappears into the aether just as spontaneously and conveniently.

Wouldn't that be a little strange considering his Smash attacks and down taunt?

That strangely made me think of the game over screen in Chrono Trigger DS where you lose to Lavos:

Which, Lucina and Shulk are freaked out by that screen for obvious reasons.

Another one of mine is that the Duck Hunt Duck's personality is a mix of all the personalities Daffy Duck has ever had in his cartoons, and he even has a similar voice to him.

I imagine that world would be a bit of a centipede effect when you suddenly let that world know they made all the right choices. Suddenly, they become super aware of it and then that world crumbles as it tries to consciously maintain that perfection.

Anywho.

my headcannon is a bit more focussed on the psychology of the fighters, a premise I wanted to bring into a fan fiction I have been tempted to write, if only I had the time.

In essence, the fight with Tabuu in the previous game has made the Smashers suddenly aware of themselves, since before hand they would fight for the entertainment of others as the mindless figurines they were thought to be. Now aware of this fact, they splinter off into several factions, some deciding to continue their ways as fighting statues, others wishing to forge their own path by themselves, and the rest just wanting to cope with this new found sense of self.

Mewtwo's absence from Brawl was due to reading the 'mind' of Master Hand back in Melee, and he took his leave when realising this fact that had sent him into a bit of a crisis.

Bowser, Ganondorf and the ROBs were already aware of this to a degree and had a much easier time dealing with it. Master Hand attempts to help the Smashers by making a home for them to collectively live in, while other Fighters go off to find other Figurines that might not have been involved in it all (The trailers of a group of smashers finding the new ones being examples of this)

The Miis are just the latest line in artificial fighters made by maybe Master Hand or something else. The Miis with specials somehow gained their independance, so the Multiman Smash miis are mindless, and have their specials removed, much like the alloys, wireframes and polygons before them.

Kirby is so close to the Lumas that they made him a little costume to make him look more like a Luma. Rosalina also accepts him as her child too, and treats him as preciously as she would one of her Lumas (well, more like a Hungry Luma...).

This basically means Kirby lives with Rosalina in Smash Word, though, and it has made Dedede secretly feel a little lonely...

Bowser. Jr is also too nervous to join Rosalina's storytelling sessions due to knowing how powerful she is and being afraid of what she thinks of him, but he does really want to, as he never had a Mama, and sometimes he wishes it were someone like her. Rosalina would welcome him just fine, though, since she actually recognises him as a good kid. Even though he was involved in destroying the universe and she had to fix that, she realises he was only trying to make his father proud. She can sense the feelings of anxiety over this that he has, even though they are unwarranted (Bowser loves him regardless, Jr and Peach are the only things Bowser truly loves in the world).

I've just noticed how each successive game in the Smash series has decidedly more in-depth and varied Multi-Man mode fighters. It's gone from generic male and female wireframe models to polygon entities essentially inspired by general physical archetypes to fully-featured Miis with different weapons and abilities.

Master Hand evidently knows his stuff and wants to make every tournament more challenging and diverse overall.

Crazy Hand is constantly trying to goad the Multi-Man fighters into scrapping with him, but they're lifeless automatons without feelings or personalities.

And that sometimes makes them all sad inside.

This isn't a headcanon, but more something from the cutting room floor. Roll would've been in the game as the second Mega Man representative, but spraying glass cleaner in people's eyes was considered too violent and easy for kids to imitate.
