What Pokémon type would each non-Pokémon Smash fighter be?

[Perkilator]

As the title says, I’m not referring to Pokémon types they’d specialize in (as cool as that sounds). My choices are as follows:

-Fire/Normal
-Ground/Normal
-Grass/Fairy
-Electric/Steel
-Electric/Poison
-Fairy
-Normal
-Electric/Normal
-Ice/Normal
-Psychic
-Fire/Fighting
-Fairy/Normal

You forgot and the Mii Fighters

 

[Perkilator]

You forgot and the Mii Fighters

Fixed it.

 

[Cracke]

I dunno, I'd think would be Electric/Poison. Because Phazon is, "The Great Poison," and all.

 

[Ryu Myuutsu]

Terry doesn't have fire attacks, so he would just be mono fighting. And does Yoshi warrants a Fairy typing? He has dragon and dinosaur traits but not of fairies.

 

[MarioManTAW]

I'm assuming is a mistake? It should probably be Grass, maybe with a secondary Ground (or possibly Poison) type.

Yeah, fixed that.

 

[osby]

I don't think Joker needs a Normal typing and Sonic's element always striked me as more wind than electricity, but these are small nitpicks.

Great list otherwise.

 

[CrusherMania1592]

WAYYYYYYY too many Normal, Psychic, Fighting, and Fairy types/10. Here's how I'd do it...


-Fire
-Ground
-Grass/Fairy
-Electric/Steel
-Electric/Poison
-Fairy/Dragon
-Normal
-Electric/Ground
-Ice/Water
-Psychic
-Fire/Fighting
-Fairy/Normal
-Fairy/Grass
-Fire/Dragon
-Ice
-Dark
-Fairy/Psychic
-Normal
-Electric/Flying
-Fighting
-Steel
-Grass
-Dark/Ground
-Fire
-Fairy/Steel
-Normal
-Steel/Flying
-Fairy/Flying
-Dark/Flying
-Electric/Fighting
-Poison
-Ghost
-Fighting
-Ground/Flying
-Psychic
-Electric
-Fighting/Flying
-Normal/Grass
-Rock/Steel
-Grass
-Dark/Electric
-Bug
-Fighting/Steel
-Normal
-Fairy/Ice
-Fighting
-Psychic/Fairy
-Normal/Ghost
-Electric/Fire
-Steel
-Dragon/Fire
-Normal/Flying
-Fighting
-Fire/Fighting
-Steel/Psychic
-Water/Dragon
-Dark/Psychic
-Water/Poison
-Dragon/Flying
-Dark
-Dark/Water
-Dragon/Water
-Normal
-Grass/Poison
-Dark/Ghost
-Psychic
-Normal/Flying
-Fighting

-Normal
-Fighting
-Electric

Normal 9
Grass 6
Fire 7
Water 5
Electric 9
Ground 4
Rock 1
Bug 1
Ice 3
Poison 4
Psychic 7
Flying 9
Fighting 11
Ghost 2
Dragon 6
Dark 7
Steel 8
Fairy 9


Trim down the amount of Fighting types a bit more. Everything else has at least 1 in each and to help make it a bit more balanced.

 

[Predatoria]

I like this idea, and have debated similar things before. For the most part, I definitely agree with your placements. Here are a few that I would've placed differently:

-Ground/Normal

- Fighting/Ground - DK to me just seems fighting type'ish.

-Fairy

- Dragon or Dragon/Normal. Not sure where Fairy comes in for Yoshi. I suppose he is somewhat cutesy, but that doesn't necessarily imply Fairy.

-Ice/Normal

- Not sure where Ice came from. I've never seen Luigi do an ice-based attack. I'd group him the same as Mario. Fire/Normal, or Fire/Fighting.

-Normal/Steel
-Fighting/Steel

I tended to give both of these Electric/Steel typing, given their mechanical or robotic construction.

-Dragon/Flying

I actually brought this topic up in the Ridley subforum. There was a consensus that he is absolutely Dark/Dragon, though both Flying and Fire were considered as well.

-Dark/Fighting
-Dark/Water

Simon and Richter fight against evil. I wouldn't consider them to be dark type, as dark typically denotes being either evil, or mischievous. One pokemon type I've always thought would fit as a new type is Light. The opposite of dark, standing for goodness, faith, angels, heaven, god, etc. Paladins would be an example of Light, Light/Fighting, or Light/Steel type. It'd encompass characters such as , , and, in this case, and as Light/Steel types, given their holy tendencies and fight against the darkness or evil.

-Dragon/Steel

I grouped Krool into dark fighting, much like Krookodile.

-Grass/Steel

I'd go with Grass/Poison. Poison is part of PP's moveset and, in general, these are often found in great numbers on mario maps that involve poison / world 5, the jungle / poison areas.

 

[Mogisthelioma]

None, because over half of the existing pokemon just got the ax (thanks, Game Freak)

Dedede would probably be a flying type but after that I have no idea. Nothing specific enough.

DK I was going for Fighting/Ground, but I ditched the Fighting type because of having too many fighting types

Yoshi I can see where you're coming from. Yoshi is an interesting case due to being 100% Dragon, but Fairy was unsure about. I kept the Fairy on it partly with the "cute" nature, but feel Yoshi can also counter other Dragon types with not being super effective by other Fairy attacks.

Luigi is an interesting case. I originally planned him as Electric type. Then realized we are lacking in Ice types, so thought I'd turn him in Ice/Electric. Now? Ice/Water can make him stand out a bit more despite him using Fire and Electric moves. Gives him a bit of a tribute to Luigi's Mansion with using ice and water attacks.

[Zinith]

Maybe the Fairy typing of my boi is due to him controlling gravity in one game

 

[StormC]

K. Rool should be Dark/Steel imo. Dirty fighting + tons of steel motifs (crown/blunderbuss/helipack and belly armor).

Ice/Water can make him stand out a bit more despite him using Fire and Electric moves. Gives him a bit of a tribute to Luigi's Mansion with using ice and water attacks.

Hmm, an interesting idea that I had yesterday was to ponder a character's typing and compare it to the matchups they excel at or struggle with in-game.

For , I don't really know how his matchup spread is, but I can definitely say he's super effective versus , so that's certainly a +1 for a fairy typing to be super effective versus dragon, while having neutral damage taken in return.

I just started playing through Luigi's Mansion 3 this week, and I can see where you're coming from with those typings a bit better now. I suppose I was still thinking of the Luigi from like the old Super Mario Bros games, before he got his own game and personality.

K. Rool should be Dark/Steel imo. Dirty fighting + tons of steel motifs (crown/blunderbuss/helipack and belly armor).

I'd always thought dark fighting, but could certainly see an argument being made for steel. His belly armor absolutely is indicative of steel type. The dark, I agree with totally, as a lot of his moveset (and his character, in general) certainly has a lot of traits that belong to dark.

 

[UserKev]

Some posts are very exaggerated.

Bowser - Literally Fire.
DK - Fighting
Kirby - Normal
Ridley - Dragon/Flying
Daisy - Grass
R.O.B - Steel
Bayonetta - Dark/Fairy
Pac-Man - Normal

Kirby is like Ditto and Snorlax, has a very diverse learning pool. Bowser is Fire but can learn some Dragon type moves, Dragon Rage, Dragon Tail. Ridley can learn Dark type moves, Pursuit, Nasty Plot, Dark Pulse. Daisy, I agree with her being Grass but she learns Play Rough.

 

[SmasherMaster]

Did this before any of the DLC was announced. Joker would be Ghost/Psychic. Banjo would be Normal/Flying. Terry would be Fighting/Ground. Hero would be Psychic/Steel.

I don't think the picture is loading.

There should really be a Light-type and a Wind-type. Would make some of these easier.

 

[WaddleKing]

Surprised at how little Wario gets associated with Dark type here, given he's meant to be bad Mario and its Japanese name being "evil" type, I'd have figured Dark/Poison type would be perfect for Wario.

Wario doesn't really have any dark attacks, abilities or traits aside from just being the anti-Mario at least in the context of Smash.

Chomp could be seen as bite.
And a number of his moves are similar to Mario's except done more exaggerated. (Such as down air, down smash, up tilt ect)
