Also, Sakurai said something about Onion Knight's possible gameplay style, job switching. Would be fun as hell
Yeah.

Not gonna lie, I find tiers to be an unreliable source for headcanons.

With that logic Sheik is apparently a goddess among men if Melee and Smash 4's tier lists are to go by.
I wasn't referring to just the Smash tier list though, Rosalina is consistently the best (or part of the best class) character stats/abilities wise in every game she is playable in, without fail (where varying stats and abilities exist). And this has no relation to tier list, but Rosalina also has the most powerful Final Smash (in terms of it's raw potential damage and knockback). It's also the most powerful move in the game period, including boss attacks.

Combined with the fact she has tons of absurdly amazing powers in lots of games, she would get access to tons of Lumas at once (given the literal character name in Smash), and there is a bio literally stating she can take on anyone and anything, not putting her in at least top 5 in a "canonically powerful Smash characters" list doesn't make any sense.

I'm not playing favourites here, this is pretty black and white.

No they don't, you're thinking of fanon.

Headcanon is an unofficial idea derived from canon. It has to be based on fact, a "reasonable conclusion" as it were. Often times you can actually accept them as official. For example, Nintendo has never given Rosalina an official height, but it's accepted that in her normal form, she is 7'7". This is because Mario's official height is 5'1" (based on a "life-size" statue), and his model on Galaxy matches this. So you can get Rosalina's height by measuring her in relation to Mario. Since this is such a concrete headcanon that is pretty much airtight, it's accepted as if Nintendo said it themselves.

If your "headcanon" is just pulled out of thin air and isn't backed up by official material, it's not actually a headcanon.
It was a joke
Ask Tumblr
Simple.
One is named Robin, the other is named Reflet.

Same as one is named Corrin the other is named Kamui
Who the **** names their kids Reflet
That's a dumb name

Headcanons and such? Okay. :p
- Smash Mansion's a thing. It's on Wuhu Island, a sort of "neutral ground."
- :4robinm: and :4robinf:/:4corrin: and :4corrinf: are alternate universe counterparts. In Corrin's case, M!Corrin came from Birthright, and F!Corrin from Conquest.
- :4feroy: can only speak Japanese, but :4marth: is bilingual, and only chooses to speak Japanese as a tactic to confuse non-Roy characters. :4cloud: thought this was a good idea and followed suit.
- :4rob: is the R.O.B. from the SSE, which may be actual canon given the Boxing Ring. That R.O.B. was also the first ever made.
- :4drmario: is the result of Mario using a Double Cherry.
- :4bowser: built the Junior Clown Car for :4bowserjr: and the Koopalings like a father building his kid a go-kart.
- :4ryu: and :4littlemac: spar in their free time.
- :4sheik: is Ocarina of Time Zelda, while :4zelda: is the Twilight Princess version.
- :4luigi: takes care of :4duckhunt: and the duck, as the mysterious shooter comes from what is, to them, another dimension.
- :4pikachu:, :4jigglypuff:, :4charizard:, and :4lucario: were sent to Smash by Professor Oak, who wanted them to be used to guard the Smash realm. Likewise, :4greninja: was sent by Professor Sycamore. :4mewtwo:arrived on his on free will.
- :4olimar::4bowser::rosalina::4pacman: and Chrom trade parenting stories in their free time. :4marth::4myfriends::4robinm:and:4corrin: were brought to Smash before their children were born, so they sit out.
- Doc Louis gets really upset when :4kirby: eats his chocolate, but is smart enough to know not to fight him for it.

If smash bros had an anime. I would be perfectly ok if they made it some funny life simulator anime about their lives in the mansion, with the occasional fighting of enemies from master hand when the world needs saving.

Ooh, Smash Headcanons.

I got nothing. :cheep:

:231:
This is a pretty good head canon! It's mine to!

I actually made the Smash headcanons thread.

Made it because people seemed to only care about the "who's more powerful" drivel and I wanted to focus more on legit character interactions, especially since we didn't get much there this time in the game itself.

I might post some of the ones I remember in a bit.

Only headcanons I have I can remember are
-Tabuu is the head honcho with the Hands being underlings
-Tabuu takes people from their universe to smash. No one knows it exists until they are invited
-Tabuu created every fighting team. He has fun with them. His practice means they get better as he works. No more polygons, hello actual Miis
-the playable miis are the earliest version of the fighting team. Tabuu made them a little too lifelike
-Pretty much ever "ally" is with the rest of the smash crew.
EX Toad, Daisy, Dixie, Viridi, Tifa aren't just stuck in their home universe without the smash bretheren
-When ZSS is in the match, :samus2: is SAX
-No one invited mewtwo. Tabuu didn't even let him know it existed. Mewtwo just ripped time and space to show up.
-Snake started playing hide and seek. He isn't in smash because they still haven't found him

- :4drmario: is the result of Mario using a Double Cherry.
Wouldn't that mean if one of them takes a hit the other becomes the real mario?

Guess that explains Doc going into medicinal practices. Wants to outlive his other half :p

Here's my headcanon. :p
Every character is dead and in some unholy representation of Hell. And they fight to retain what little humanity they have within them.

I love it.

Wuhu Island being the location of the Mansion especially. Nice & sunny and there's places to shop.
Previously I always thought it's Luigi's Mansion in my headcannon as it would be creepy and is already a stage but this is better.

Your Marth & Cloud stuff and everything else in generally is great!

Speaking of Zelda...I started playing Pokemon Black again...:p

Wanted to play a pokemon game again but felt I wanted to wait to play gen 6 again, and Unova is the region I've played the least so far...

Still considering who to add to my party though...suggestions are welcome but things to consider...
-I chose Snivy
-Haxorus is pretty much guaranteed to be added...
-unova's ice types bore me...
-Chandelure or Cofagrigus?

I had a file opened up on my computer that I'm pretty sure I didn't open

So, I wonder if someone came into my room during the night and went through my files

Edit: It was also a file I really wouldn't want someone to see...

there's a headcannon thread, I never seen it because I was too lazy to use the search bar. I only have one headcannon though so it's really no need to go there then.
That :4cloud2: sees :4shulk: as a little brother to him and that he get over protective of him at times and they spar on Fridays.

I want mega krookidile, give it speed boost.

Imagine getting the moxie setting up, then you go mega, can a huge boost in speed and attack, if set up right, it be a monster.

I do like that Ash got krookidile.

I also wished his scraggy evolved.

Headcanon Hype
  • :4pacman: secretly has Orson contacting him during fights to give Pointers, only :4gaw: and :4rob: know of this
  • :4bayonetta: and :4wiifit: run a Gym on Wuhu Island for Smashers, with :4falcon:, :4littlemac: and :4kirby: being regulars, and :4dedede: keeps trying to burn the Gym down on a regular basis
  • :4duckhunt: is owned by :4yoshi: because Duck Hunt Dog reminds Yoshi of Poochy
  • :4yoshi: is the same Yoshi as the Mario World TV Show, which by extension means Mama :4luigi: is the owner of Yoshi
  • :4kirby:, :4pacman:, :4dedede:, :4yoshi: and :4wario2: constantly have Gourmet Races, which never ends well
  • :4drmario: is the same character as Tanooki Mario in MK8, and came to be by an E. Gadd expirement
  • :4drmario: became a doctor to outlive :4mario: so he can get fame when the time comes
  • :4gaw: is part of Star Fox now due to the fascination of Shadow Bugs
  • :pikachu2:/:4pikachu: is :pichumelee: from Melee
  • :4rob: is in a similar position to Geno, being a toy possessed by some sort of cosmic entity, therefore growing to life-size and gaining conciousness
  • :4wario2: keeps trying to bride Master Hand to let Waluigi in, but Master Hand keeps asking for too much Money for Wario's standards so it hasn't happened yet
  • :4olimar: was sent by The President to earn Fight Money and return when he exchanges it all for Pokos to become a Trillionaire
  • Anna runs the Trophy Shop
Among others...

Krookodile's cool...Bonus points for its Dark typing...

I've actually used him a fair amount in X and Y as well as my first playthrough of Black, which is actually why I didn't want to use him...

Was considering Bisharp though...only used it once in a Nuzlocke until shortly after evolving it gets obliterated, by a Weavile of all things...XD

You know what game fans I dislike the most?

Starfox. Most seem to hate/dislike any sort of evolution for the series. Oh, and Shiggy ain't helping. At all. From what we've seen of Zero, it seems to me like he is releasing a 90's game in the 2k10's....

Secondly it's Metroid fans. Rarely ask for online play like Halo... what's wrong with an amazing campaign AND lasting online play that is hopefully popular? The main game (prime-based) basically just better graphics & everything that would naturally come with more powerful hardware.

I love this one:

The Smashers always have a yearly Baseball Exhibition game at the city's stadium.

It's usually :4mario:'s Super Stars vs :4falcon:'s Sluggers.

Since the roster has triple in size they have a chance to do a tournament. :4olimar:&:rosalina: commentates the games.

It took me a bit to get it as well.

The jynx one is my favorite.

For real, I would love a Nintendo Baseball( or sports in general)) game with smash characters and more.

It be really fun.
Unless they were in development for 6 years, I doubt it
It's a joke....

It was meant to prove how easily people fall for a leak....

Hell it even referenced the Cinabar glitch.

It's talking about how long the original red and green took to develop

Edit: I mean red and blue.

They had to redo it when translating

"During the translation process, it became apparent that simply altering the games' text from Japanese to English was impossible; the games had to be entirely reprogrammed from scratch due to the fragile state of their source code, a side effect of the unusually lengthy development time.[36] Therefore, the games were based on the more-modern Japanese version of Blue; modeling its programming and artwork, but keeping the same distribution of Pokémon found in the Japanese Red and Green cartridges, respectively.[41]"

Edit: comme ci comme ça
