Super Smash Bros Headcanons

[Reila]

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.

Yet Roll is perfectly playable in Tatsunoko vs Capcom and Marvel vs Capcom 2.

Anyways, here is one: The dog from Duck Hunt is actually a cyborg controlled by the duck on its back. Kind of like Cait Sith in Final Fantasy VII.

Spoiler

lol

But seriously, I don't really have headcanons

 

[WhiteCane]

trains with so he can try and fight outside the clown car in the next Smash Tournament, they're actually really good friends and hang out if neither has anything to do outside Smash. looks at his "student" with pride and often puts the two in the same training he went though during the first Smash Tournament.

This also let and rethink about whatever hatred they had, The Koopas' and the Kongs' now are on mutual ground were as before they were enemies. sees these things happening often wonders if his tribe should reconnect with Koopas' too, he also wonders why the first Yoshi didn't train much for the Smash Tournaments.

The other Mario Characters don't pay attention to the bonding of the former group expect for who smiles being glad has other things going for him like and . She tries to find time too talk to everyone saying "The Story must progress for better or worse."

Dr. Mario found out that was juicing during the Brawl era after league commissioner Master Hand called for roster-wide mandatory drug testing. entered rehab and was suspended without pay for an entire season. He made his return in the Sm4sh era and was noticeably less effective.

was the number 1 draft pick at the beginning of Melee. Unfortunately, he sustained multiple injuries early in the season due to overexerting himself. He sat out half the season after finishing with the worst overall ranking in the league. He remained on the roster for a few years after, raking in an excellent salary from his lucrative multi-year contract. Many fans had hopes that he'd make a comeback and live up to his initial promise, but he sat out game after game because he wanted to make sure he was "fully recovered" and "give 110%" if he were to return to regular play. Once his contract was up, he retired and lived very comfortably. He is considered one of the biggest draft busts in Smash history.

Planning on actually writing a fic about a previous post of mine.

Miis are not actually humans, but are actually the next evolution of Fighting Team made by Master Hand. He first made Polygon Team when he was young, directly ripping off each of the participants abilities, with Metal Mario being the most efficient (he went rogue though and followed Mario home after Melee after the "death" of Metal Luigi). In Melee, he decided to give the next generation more identity, hence male/female wire frames. It took more effort though, so he could only make 2 types. In Brawl, he was more powerful, so he made 4 types of Alloy Fighters. In Smash 4, he made the 3 types of Miis, each with their own identity. As they are the only ones Master Hand did not give immortality in the Smash World, (after the Link fiasco in Melee from a previous post of mine) they often live in fear of being destroyed, question the value of their existences, and, one day, hope to escape this hell they have been born into. Due to their mortality, they tend to make friends with the enemies in Smash Run, as they are in the same boat.

In it, I hope to cover/parody/deconstruct all sorts of Mii archetypes. For example, since many wanted Goku in, there will be a literal army of "blond, spiky haired, green eyed brawlers", using the Brawl in the Family Mario Mii, it's personality is warped into thinking it is the real Mario to the point of obsession (fakes an accent, trys to get on Peach's and Luigi's good side, etc), and a "face art" Mii that resembles (is not actually) a giant singular eye, but because it's face is so distorted, it has difficulty seeing, among Mii stereotypes.

Wait, Roll was actually gonna be playable?

Nah I was just bein' stupid.

 

[Phantom High]

According to Metroid Lore, :4zamus: combined her DNA with a Metroid's.

Typically the only way to kill Metroids is to freeze them which makes me think they're susceptible to cold.

Since Samus has Metroid DNA, that means she gets could REAL easily. In fact, she despises winter a lot, but does try you go out for sake, but not without wearing 3 layers of fluffy coats and two scarves.

Link and Zelda are recreational marijuana smokers, and were once arrested in Fourside on marijuana-related charges (ironically Link describes Fourside as a city full of sleaze)

Fox McCloud once had a cocaine addiction, which was nearly the end of him, until his friends all intervened and had him go to rehab

Hands off my coke!

Falco is secretly a rapper and sometimes challenges some of the other fighters to rap battles, including, suprisingly enough, Robin.

 

[PF9]

Smash is the most popular combat sport, more popular than boxing, UFC or other forms of MMA, or even the WWE - especially since the latter been toned down in recent years, while Smash has not. Also unlike WWE, the storylines driving Smash fights are 100% real - this has been confirmed by David Geffen, music mogul and the public face of Smash, in several interviews, so feuds and friendships are all real in Smash. Geffen, however, is merely Master Hand's puppet, and only the residents of the Smash Mansion know of Master Hand's existence, Master Hand being the true mastermind of Smash, and are barred from disclosing his existence or that of his brother Crazy Hand to the public, fearing a PR nightmare.

Smash has been a popular sports television staple since 1999 as well. Initially, it was to be small-time and aired only on an ad-hoc network of local stations in the Pacific Northwest. But soon, it exploded into massive popularity, and was picked up by NBC as a tape-delayed lead-out from Saturday Night Live. After two years, the network grew suspicious of SSB's business dealings, and so, Smash moved to CBS to coincide with Melee's launch, now airing live on Saturday nights (in the Eastern and Central Time Zones) opposite SNL on NBC (to drive a stake through their former network's heart). Smash adopted a more hardcore image at that time, since Melee was to get a T rating. The TV-14 rating for Smash on TV has been standard since (there are 100 bleeps in a typical broadcast). For the Brawl era, ESPN was the main broadcaster, with a weekly program on the cable channel and monthly primetime specials on ABC. With Sm4sh out now, Smash is now cable-exclusive for a year, ESPN renewed their deal, but now airing a Friday night program, and Fox Sports 1 airs a Saturday night program, with the option to place specials on Fox after a year. And since the move to NBC, there have also been pay-per-view events.

Pit x Phosphora, behind Viridi and Palutena's back.

That is all.

The duck of is a traitor to its own kind.

The dog of is the actual boss of the Wild Gunmen. The gunman that is stated to be the boss is actually just a figurehead.

One more Smash Bros. Wrasslin dump:

- Marth and Roy started out as a tag team during the Melee years, though Marth started making more and more appearances by himself due to his fighting prowess. His breakout into fame was when he got into a feud with none other than Captain Falcon. Roy was unfortunately released.

- Dr. Mario is actually a gimmick that Mario created halfway through the Melee years. His skits and promos often involved him treating the "injuries" of defeated fighters and going after the victors with the intent of giving them "a taste of their own medicine". He often bored his opponents with his wordy speeches that were full of medical terms and puns. His heel persona was that of a mad scientist. Mario stopped using the Doctor persona shortly before the Brawl years. It was reintroduced recently, but the gimmick is only used for skits (for now).

- Mewtwo had a group comprised of the clone characters with the intention of taking over Smash Brothers. He feuded with the characters that the clone characters were based off of.

- Shulk is unique in that he's often accompanied by one or two of his party members from XC. They usually watch from the sidelines until they're needed to pull off Chain Attack as a finishing move (which doesn't happen often). Another thing to note is that most fighters that have Shulk on their team in Tag Team matches often begin spewing out battle lines just like in XC. When Pit, Sonic, Falcon, Falco, or Fox are in the same group, the results are usually hilarious.

- DeDeDe's gimmick is his persona from Right Back At Ya!, right down to his obsession with THAT KIRBEH!

- When Pit or Palutena aren't fighting, they often take on the role as commentators.

- Snake's introduction prior to entering the arena were the Codecs that pertained to his opponents. He then popped out from under a box.

- Male vs Female matches were common in the early years of Smash Brothers, but with the recent influx of female fighters, matches between the same genders became more of an occurrence.

- The Koopalings have been one of the most intimidating groups to grace Smash Brothers in recent years. They have a habit of interrupting matches and overwhelm their opponents through sheer numbers.

- The Ice Climbers are considered to be the greatest tag team of all time, followed by Zelda and Sheik.

- Wario once had a plotline where he would attempt to woo the female fighters into dating him or attempt to steal the women of other fighters. Due to his personality and appearance, he was always turned down. Since he tries to pull a "Mr. Steal Yo Girl", he's gotten himself into various feuds with fighters such as Mario, Link, Robin, and surprisingly Kirby. Samus was one of Wario's frequent targets, the former often giving him the biggest beatdowns of a lifetime. Wario also obtained the same results with Lucina.

- In a similar manner, Peach had a plotline where she would go out with various male characters behind Mario's back.

- Meta Knight during the Brawl years was considered to be an unstoppable force who always challenged the other fighters to see who was the best. He had an undefeated streak until he fought against Little Mac.

Rosalina is a big fan of the movie Frozen, just for the fact that Elsa looks a lot like her

 

[Ferblantier]

Duck Hunt is actually Pinky and the Brain.

Ducky: Gee, Dog. What are we going to do tonight?

The Dog: The same thing we do every night, Ducky. Try to take over the world.

 

[Wanderer from Roseyard]

Duck Hunt is actually Pinky and the Brain.

Ducky: Gee, Dog. What are we going to do tonight?

The Dog: The same thing we do every night, Ducky. Try to take over the world.

I tend to think of the duck as more of the "Brain" figure!

Or maybe Catdog is a more apt cartoon comparison for how I see their companionship...

 

[PF9]

Lucario, being a chocolate addict, enjoys the SpongeBob episode "Chocolate with Nuts"

Mario once had ties to the Mafia. When Peach found out, she was furious and did not speak to him for a few days, and was heavily addicted to cigarettes in that time. Mario has since cut ties to the Mafia and the two are back together.

To expand on Bowser and Ganondorf being alcoholics, every Tuesday for six years, the two take a warp portal to Boston to spend the day at Cheers, wherein they interact with all the characters on the show of the same name.

 

[ChikoLad]

just for the fact that Elsa looks a lot like her

But she doesn't. Especially when Elsa wears her original royal outfit, or Rosalina her Biker Gear (or a Smash alt).

 

[RobinOnDrugs]

The fighters don't actually live in a mansion, but in a residential complex similar to an Olympic Village, along with the assist trophies, trainers, and officials. Friends, family, and former fighters are also allowed inside, but are not allowed to stay for more than a day. Sexual intercourse is nowhere near a huge occurrence as it is in an Olympic Village, since a good amount of characters are underage and thus most activities must be monitored because of it. Parties do happen though.

Also, Pit has a crush on Lucina, but is too afraid to do anything about it because she tends to hang out with Robin. Attempts at calling her only results in him being a stuttering mess over the phone.

 

[EmceeEspio]

Each of the characters have a favorite cartoon or anime series. For example, Marth likes SAO and Duck Hunt likes Regular Show. As the above example, the amount of Western/Eastern fanbase or influence attributed to a character seems to dictate cartoon or anime, but some VERY notable and common exceptions appear to keep this from being a general rule

 

[PF9]

Among the non-Smashers living in the Smash Mansion: (Ash, Misty), (Drew, May), (Max, Bonnie), (Clemont, Serena), (Dawn, and Kenny) from the Pokemon anime. () represents couples that I support.

Kenny has an orange parka that he likes to wear in the wintertime, even though it never snows in Irvine, CA where the Mansion is located. Whenever he speaks with this parka on, his speech is muffled. Cookies to whoever gets this reference.

Clemont's full name is Clemont E. Brown. Take a wild guess as to what the E. stands for (since he is a scientist, that should give you a hint).

The kid playing with his figures represented by Master Hand lost the sword included with Ganondorf's, which explains why he doesn't use it. The one he uses in the taunt us a replica he crafted that's not sturdy enough to fight with.

The Wii Fit Trainers (both male and female) follow a strict diet of eating only healthy foods. So no fats or junk food for them.

Toon Link watches One Piece

As it should be.

By the way, to those who didn't get the joke, SAO stars a blue-haired swordsman and Regular Show stars a duo comprised of a brown mammal and blue bird, with the bird being the brains and the mammal being the goofy one.

 

[Etc_Guy]

Almost everyone is terrified of K. Rool living in Smashville if he bekomes anything not a trophy. The only exceptions are:
The Kongs (obviously), , , , and /. (Not certain about: , , , , , Ridley, , ,and ) will be very jealous if the new King steals the title "The King of Evil" without even wanting to.

Few don't want Daisy for possibly encouraging competitive behavior in kids, most others don't kare.

 

[Ze Diglett]

-Duck Hunt is secretly an omnipotent being, able to shoot people from beyond the fourth wall no matter where he is.
-Dr. Mario isn't a real doctor.
-All the fighters secretly fear that Ridley may someday move in. Especially Samus.
-Villager has no understanding of morality or mercy and is completely oblivious to the grief and suffering he causes.
-Greninja plans to take over the game with his endless collection of Substitute dolls.
-Rosalina constantly brags about being top-tier to the other smashers. She secretly beats Luma
-Sonic and Mega Man really don't know why the other fighters treat them better than the guys back at home, but whatever.
-All of the dropped veterans in Smash's history hang out at a bar just outside the Smashing Ring. (Yes, even Pichu.)
-Mewtwo really, really hates Lucario and Greninja and looks forward to the day that he finishes his 5-month-long training regimen so he can smash them.
-Jigglypuff's eyes are a gate to Subspace.

 

[RobinOnDrugs]

- Mewtwo is currently training Rocky Balboa style to get back into shape for the upcoming Sm4sh DLC.

- Pit is VERY talented at singing, and whenever he's doing karaoke, he gets real into it. Dark Pit shares the same talent for obvious reasons, but doesn't like to sing because he's the opposite of Pit.

- Mario and Luigi's voices are their voices from the cartoons.

- Luigi can dance spectacularly, especially if the song he's dancing to is dubstep.

- When they first met in SSE, Pit was the Donkey to Mario's Shrek. They have become close friends ever since.

- Every year, all of the Links show up at once and do things together, which freaks out Zelda every time it happens. On a side note, CD-i Link is a stoner.

- Shulk skypes with his party members on a weekly basis. He also invites them over whenever possible.

- Meta Knight has a tendency to appear from out of nowhere.

- Nobody tries to whistle at, make cat calls, or make other perverted remarks towards Samus when she wears her shorts because she's very capable of kicking everybody's ass with or without her suit. Speaking of Samus, everybody who saw Samus in her Power Suit first originally assumed that she was a man.

- Ike and Captain Falcon go lifting together. They exercise nearly every day of the week and eat a strict diet. When they are on their off days though, they are known for being big eaters.

- Despite his appearance, Villager is older than he looks. He also gets along with everybody, including the villains, since the concepts of death and evil are virtually non-existent where he comes from. When he's not hanging with the other characters, he's busy with his duties as a mayor.

- DeDeDe and Falco have frequent rap battles against each other.

- Wario was originally set to appear in the Melee tournaments, but was convicted for running a ponzi scheme at the time.

- Toon Link is considered to be cute to characters like Peach and Zelda, but disturbing to others like Samus, Ganondorf, and Falco.

- Lucina looks up to Marth for obvious reasons. He's always giving her advice for things such as swordplay, fashion, etc.

Shulk is 18 and 5'6"

I am ... not that old and 5'10"

Little MAc is 17 and 34'8"(NES) / 35(or 19) and 5'7"(Smash+Wii)

Shulk is the smallest human. Human-shaped aliens count.

Actually Shulk is a human shaped alien...

And his official height in Xenoblade is 171 cm, so just over 5'7". Smash nerfed his height.

1. Actually Shulk is a human shaped alien...

2. And his official height in Xenoblade is 171 cm, so just over 5'7". Smash nerfed his height.

1. I know.
2. I know, but Palutena said that. It doesn't make a difference, Little Mac has little in his name nonetheless.

 

[Nintendotard]

Similarly to how Playstation All-Star Battle Royale had a rival pair for each character, I made a list for Smash Bros with some specific reasonings for some (only characters confirmed for SSB4 are being used here)

• vs. - The two have always had a big rivalry in the video game industry, and despite them coming to terms in the more recent years, that doesn't mean that the two still don't duke it out.
  
• vs. - The whole King Kong vs Godzilla argument can be used here. Both are powerhouses and want to prove their power to each other.
  
• vs. - As shown in the Palutena trailer and in their Palutena temple "codecs", Pit envies Link a bit and considers him a rival. Both were also made in the same year.
  
• vs. - Suited bounty hunter with an arm cannon vs super fighting robot whom also wields an arm cannon. Their match ups have been made a few times prior to Smash as well.
  
• vs. - Both are dino-lizard hybrids with the ability to use their maximum power to become dragons. Charizard takes Yoshi lightly because of his cute nature as compared to his brutish nature
  
• vs. - Simple really and similar to the Samus vs Mega Man situation. Both are rounded big eaters that normally have smiles on their faces.
  
• vs. - Throw back to their Brawl Emissary days. Both speedy, agile fighters.
  
• vs. - Honestly I ran out of ideas for this one, but both are in the cute category, and could be easily intimidated by foes, but have enough strength to take on the biggest of enemies.
  
• vs. - Luigi's cowardly personality contrasts
  
• vs. - Little Mac's punch may be mightier than the sword, but can it beat a Falcon Punch? Captain Falcon will put that to the test.
  
• vs. / - The boy with psychokinetic powers that wields his trusty bat and yoyo vs the tactitian with multiple magic tombs and their trusty Levin and bronze swords
  
• vs. - Cute and cuddly meets the villianous nasty. One of the opposite match ups, but whose to say a Fairy type can't hold her own against the King of Darkness?
  
• vs. - The damsel in distress vs the lady with the guns. Peach's nice and nonthreatening behavior reflects from the cold warrior that is Samus, so she wants to proves herself.
  
• vs. - Zelda is said to be chosen by the Hylian godesses to hold the triforce of wisdom, however Palutena, being a goddess herself, doesn't find Zelda good enough to hold it. (OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH!!!!!!)
  
• vs. - Based on Shulk's trailer, two skilled swordsmen, Shulk may seem to have the upper hand with his clairvoyant skill, but Marth could be a tricky fighter and can easily rush the younger swordsman.
  
• vs. - Another class of fast and agile fighters, Lucina isn't afraid of a loudmouth bird, so Falco is just gonna have to prove to this young lady who is boss.
  
• vs. - Both are a big part of Nintendo's history and are included for their "retro" aspect. Both were also never really actual characters where they came from, but accessories, as Mr. Game & Watch's games always had different black figures to be used as characters and R.O.B. was just an accessory. The two are also titled by Smash scrubs as joke characters of the game.
  
• vs. - Battle of the clones (aka I ran out of interesting ideas)
  
• vs. - Both are dark, mysterious fighters. Greninja chose to fight Meta Knight to see who would come out on top, but they ended in a draw.
• vs. / - Unless it includes kickin' your heid, Wario is obviously not the one to be doing fitness excersizes or eat healthy, so the Wii Fit Trainers frown upon his behavior and often reccomend he watches his figure.
  
• vs. / - A king vs a mayor. Their cute looks are nothing to underestimate either.
  
• vs. - A similar trait to the larger and stronger counterparts, Diddy and Bowser Jr. share a rivalry that basically follows the rivalry.
• vs. - As apart of the conquest mode vs, the two both use their friends, Pikmins and Lumas respectively to help them in their battles.
• vs. - Both are apart of the canine family (Lucario being based off a anubis which has the head of a jackal, and Duck Hunt Dog being a...dog ._.), not counting Duck. Both also have heightened senses, Lucario with his aura and Dog and Duck synchronized with theirs (how else can the both of them dodge that tagline of their name in their trailer and the Hunter's shots)

 

[Ephemiel]

All the characters are toys being played with by a little kid in his room.

Wait a sec.......

Squirtle is not in the game because he evolved into the Blastoise in the Kalos Pokémon League.
