Pride Headcanon Post 3.0

It seems like my Smash Bros. LGBTQ+ headcanons change at least a little bit every year, some more than others. Some of my headcanons are outdated with how I feel, so rather than trying to scrub up an old post, I’m gonna make a new post again.

I know I’m posting this sooner than I said I would, but I can always come back and reblog with any additions I might have.

If a character isn’t on this list it’s not necessarily because I see them as definitively cishet, it’s simply that I can't think of any specific headcanon for them.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - Which fighters are more anime?

You know, people often accuse certain fighters of being “too anime“. But does being Japanese-styled simply make a character “anime“, even if they’re not in any anime material? “Anime“ itself refers to the grand majority of Japanese cartoons, after all - it’s primarily in the animation. You wouldn’t call manga alone “anime“ because it’s not animated - it’s printed stills. In fact, why the H don’t people use the term “manga“ for these Japanese-styles?

Well, I say that’s not good enough. Plenty of “anime“-looking characters don’t even get their own anime stuff. So here’s what I’m gonna do. I’ll sort the fighters based on what anime material they’ve appeared in.

Higher-up tiers will take priority over lower tiers, so some fighters in the Anime (Series) tier may also be in anime movies, or anime-style commercials. I’ll give some mention to those if I can.

-= ANIME (SERIES) =- - This tier is for series of anime episodes (at least 3) - each episode would of course need to be fairly long, like 15+ minutes. - Amada Anime Series: Super Mario Bros.: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Koopalings - Kirby: Right Back At Ya!: Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede - Pokémon (anime): Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Pichu, Mewtwo, Squirtle, Ivysaur, Charizard, Lucario, Greninja, Incineroar - Pokémon Origins: Pokémon Trainer (plus Charizard, Mewtwo, and others) - F-Zero: GP Legend: Captain Falcon - Sonic X: Sonic

-= ANIME (MOVIES) =- - Next tier down is for fighters that appeared in anime-style movies or OVAs. I’ll mention some movies that above characters appeared in, of course. - Super Mario Bros. The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach: Piranha Plant (also Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Bowser) - Fire Emblem (OVA): Marth - Animal Crossing: The Movie: Villager (Girl) - Mega Man: Upon A Star: Mega Man - Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie: Ryu, Ken - Last Order: Final Fantasy VII: Cloud - Bayonetta: Bloody Fate: Bayonetta - Dragon Quest Biography: Emblem of Roto: Hero (Arusu) - Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture: Terry - (also) many Pokémon movies: Pikachu, Pichu, Mewtwo, Squirtle, Charizard, Lucario, Greninja, Incineroar - (also) Sonic The Hedgehog (OVA): Sonic

-= ANIME (PROMOTIONAL) =- - This is for fighters in promotional material that was too short to fit the requirements for Series and Movie. Some series mentioned didn’t have long enough episodes, for example. - Super Smash Bros. For: Goddess of Light: Link, Pit, Dark Pit, Palutena - Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins: Fox, Falco - Palutena’s Revolting Dinner: Pit, Palutena - Medusa’s Revenge: Pit, Palutena - (also) Super Mario Traffic Safety: Mario, Luigi - (also) Super Mario’s Fire Brigade: Mario, Luigi - ...There’s also a LOT of Japanese commercials for Mario games - and other Mario products - but I’m not sure I have the fortitude to hunt them all down...Still, I think in light of those, I should’ve moved Donkey Kong and Yoshi (who were in the Mario Kart 64 commercial), as well as Wario and Zelda (Famicom commercial feat. Wario’s Woods and Legend of Zelda) up to this tier. - I was REALLY hesitant in putting Link here, since the justification I had at the time was for a Smash Bros. newcomer trailer. However, since he appeared in the aforementioned Famicom commercial, he’s probably safe. But then Dark Pit wouldn’t have any anime appearances if I went by that technicality...Though since I used it, maybe Byleth should be here, too?

-= ANIME (GAME CUTSCENES) =- - This is for fighters who were in games with anime-style cutscenes and whatnot. - Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi’s Adventure Land: Yoshi - Fire Emblem: Three Houses: Byleth - Wario Land: Shake It: Wario - (also) Pokémon Channel: Pichu, Squirtle (in Pichu Brothers) - (also) Sonic Riders: Sonic - (also) Street Fighter 4 (all versions): Ryu, Ken - (also) Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes: Ryu - (also) Persona 5: Joker - ...Actually, Chrom was technically in anime-style game cutscenes in Tokyo Mirage Sessions # FE. Not the same as the general Chrom, but...

-= NOT ANIME =- - ...And now all the fighters that WEREN’T in any kind of anime. If I counted manga, then this would be pretty empty, but we’re focusing on anime here. So! Let’s see which fighters are NOT anime! - Daisy, Dr. Mario, Rosalina & Luma (forgot their avatar), Bowser Jr., Diddy Kong, King K. Rool, Sheik, Ganondorf, Young Link, Toon Link, Samus, Dark Samus, Zero Suit Samus, Ridley, Wolf, Ness, Lucas, Ice Climbers, Lucina, Roy, Robin, Corrin, Mr. Game & Watch, Snake, Olimar, Alph, R.O.B., Isabelle, Wii Fit Trainer, Little Mac, Mii Fighters, PAC-MAN, Shulk, Duck Hunt, Inkling, Simon, Richter, Hero (Eleven, Solo, Eight), Banjo & Kazooie - Ones that really are anime in hindsight: Donkey Kong, Zelda, Chrom - Castlevania does have an animated series, but it’s being done by Americans. While the style is anime-inspired, it’s not officially Japanese-drawn or -animated (much like Avatar: The Last Airbender) ...so it’s not anime. Besides, I don’t think Simon or Richter have appeared in it. It’s mainly focused on Trevor’s time. - The pseudo-3D anime style didn’t appear in Fire Emblem cutscenes until Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, which was after the release of Fates. This trend would, however, continue in Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

Ahem...so there you have it! Iggy is more anime than Shulk. Wario is more anime than Lucina. And Piranha Plant is more anime than three of the playable Heroes!

...But if you REALLY don’t want any more “anime” in Smash, then you better kiss Dante, Viewtiful Joe, KOS-MOS, Lloyd Irving, and Heihachi (and probably others) goodbye.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - Marching Band AU

Drum Major

Mario: A natural leader. Can play all of the instruments, but he prefers clarinet.

 Flutes/Piccolos

Link: Piccolo leader. Holds attention the best out of anyone in the band. Hopes to become drum major in the future.

Zelda/Sheik: Flute leader. Fantastic at reading music. Goes into “Sheik mode” during competitions as a way of staying calm under pressure.

Rosalina: Flute. “Mom” of the section.

Jigglypuff: Flute. Sings along with the other parts during rests.

Toon Link: Piccolo. Is happy to perform in all kinds of weather. Looks up to Link.

Pichu: Piccolo. Not the greatest at playing or marching but is trying his best.

 Clarinets

Luigi: He’s been in his brother’s shadow for most of his life. Became section leader to change that.

Lucario: Great at keeping tempo.

Dark Samus: Wants to stab everyone who gets in her way with her clarinet so she can become drum major but has not done so...yet.

Simon: Plays hymns with Richter before every practice and game.

Richter: Plays hymns with Simon before every practice and game.

Mewtwo: Makes his instrument float while at attention instead of holding it, much to Mario’s dismay.

 Saxophones

Meta Knight: Leader of all the saxes. Tenor sax.

Pikachu: Alto sax. Him and Toon Link are the only ones who actually enjoy marching in a thunderstorm.

Daisy: Was told she had to play flute or clarinet because she’s a girl. Refused and decided to play alto sax instead. Quite possibly the best alto in the section.

Corrin (m): Tenor sax. Takes every show seriously. Doesn’t understand why section rivalries have to be a thing.

Young Link: Alto sax. Gets nervous during games and competitions in which there’s a full moon. He and the other kids practice music together outside of band.

Ganondorf: The only baritone sax. Is determined to recruit more bari saxes for his “army”.

Sonic: Alto sax. Really needs to stop rushing during fast pieces.

 Trumpets

Captain Falcon: Trumpet section leader. A “stereotypical” trumpet player with an inflated ego.

Roy: Always tries to go for the high notes but doesn’t usually succeed.

Pit: Plays everything forte.

Fox: Is the one who got that solo.

Falco: Also tries going for the high notes and can hit them quite often. Aspiring section leader.

Wolf: Is bitter that he didn’t get that solo.

Lucas: Not comfortable with playing loudly but is actually really good.

Diddy Kong: Sometimes puts peanuts in his bell so, when he plays, he can strike the other members for his own amusement.

 Trombones

Yoshi: Trombone section leader. Has tiny arms but makes it work.

Kirby: Hides little snacks in his bell often.

Shulk: Knows all of his drill spots even before reading them. As a result, he’s able to focus a lot on his marching during practice.

Bowser Jr.: Plays wrong notes on purpose just to annoy people.

Ridley: ...I just thought it would be funny to have a pterodactyl playing trombone, okay? XD

 Baritones

Samus: Baritone section leader. Doesn’t put up with wrong notes.

Ness: Always willing to help other members understand stuff. Once brought a Mr. Saturn to make noises for practice while his instrument was being repaired.

Ike: Amazingly good posture. Could probably lift more than two baritones at a time.

Mega Man: Transferred from the Capcom marching band. Loves his Smash band family.

Chrom: Tried out for section leader but didn’t make it. Will get his chance another day.

Olimar: When he had to miss practice one time, he got a bunch of Pikmin to fill in for him. It went surprisingly well.

 Mellophones

Robin (f): Mellophone section leader. Fantastic marcher. Enjoys helping the members of her section get better.

Cloud: Has been told he should play trumpet. Plays mello because he wants to be more low-key. (...No pun intended.)

Nana: Always prepared for cold weather practices and games. Brings hand warmers and layers for the section.

Palutena: Knows all the musical terms, even ones no one else in the band knows.

Dr. Mario: Carries a tiny first aid kit under his uniform jacket.

 Tubas

Bowser: Thought about joining the color guard to get closer to Peach but joined the tubas instead.

Wario: Tuba section leader. Regularly makes farting sounds with his instrument. No one is amused.

Ryu: Challenges tubas in other bands to see who can hit the lowest notes.

King K. Rool: Once tried using tuba as a cannon to attack Donkey Kong and failed horribly.

 Drumline

Donkey Kong: A master of the quads.

Popo: Bass drum. It’s a bit hard for him to see over the drum because of his stature.

Mr. Game & Watch: He likes the cymbals because they’re flat like him. Has been doing marching band the longest, along with Pac-man.

King Dedede: Bass drum. There have been a few times when he has hit the drum so hard that he accidentally broken it.

Villager: Snare. Somehow manages to fit many pairs of drumsticks in his pockets at one time.

Little Mac: How does he play snare with those gloves? The world may never know. ...Also, he’s wearing the wrong gloves.

Pac-man: Cymbals. Has been doing marching band the longest, along with Mr. Game & Watch.

 Color Guard

Peach: Doesn’t even have to be told to smile for the crowd. Really knows how to connect with the audience.

Marth: The beautiful and elegant color guard captain. Gets all the moves perfectly every time.

Lucina: Aspires to be like Marth. Particularly amazing with the sabers.

Wii Fit Trainer: Could use multiple equipments at once if she wanted to. Incredibly strong.

Greninja: He couldn’t play any wind instruments because of his tongue, so he joined the color guard instead. Turned out to be really good at it.

Bayonetta: Specializes in rifles. Entrances the audience with her awesome tosses and, uh...yeah.

Inkling: Really puts the “color” in color guard... Or something. Helped make most of the flags.

 Front Ensemble

Pokemon Trainer: Mainly plays marimba but enjoys playing various other things.

R.O.B.: Keyboard. Always stays on tempo. I guess you could say he’s so on tempo it’s almost...robotic. (Ba dum tsk.)

Dark Pit: Bass. Has picked out his theme on the instrument. Can also play trumpet and claims he’s better than Pit at it.

Isabelle: Prefers chimes. Almost joined the cheerleading team but chose band. The most hardworking little bean ever.

Snake: Mainly plays marimba.

Duck Hunt: The dog and duck work together to play suspended cymbal. No one knows how the uniform people were able to fit uniforms for a dog and a duck.

Returning Franchise/Groups Thoughts

Before I start talking potential newcomers (Though I will at least touch on it a little here) it’s time I give my thoughts on what could happen with each of the series that were in Smash 4 and if anything changes in representation. I’ve said before that I don’t expect too many cuts so most of this is mainly that franchises are keeping where they are but I’ll still try to make a special note with each one

Mario

I don’t really expect anyone in the Mario series to get cut. They’ve pretty much nailed the representation for the most part with the original characters they’ve gotten. Maybe Dr. Mario has a shot at being demoted to alt, but depending just how much ported over the roster ends up. He might stay anyway.

I also suspect that unless Captain Toad (Or any variation of Toad) is a Newcomer in this Smash. We won’t be getting any more Mario characters. No offense to supporters of Waluigi, Paper Mario, or Daisy. But I don’t think it’s time for them.

Yoshi

Yoshi’s probably going to remain solo. The only candidates that could feasibly be a 2nd Yoshi rep is the Baby Mario Bros. and Kamek. Neither of which I think are that popular really

Wario

I also think Wario’s going to remain solo. There’s going to be some hope for Ashley thanks to Warioware Gold. But realistically I think the only chance Wario gets a 2nd rep is if they decide to cheat the system a little and count Waluigi as a Wario rep.

Donkey Kong

Obviously both DK and Diddy will return. And this is also one of the franchises I suspect will just have to get a rep in this game. Whether it be King K. Rool, Dixie Kong, or even both

Retro (That is Mr. Game & Watch, Duck Hunt, and ROB)

I assume all 3 retro characters will return. With a good chance the Ice Climbers take their long awaited return assuming 8 Player Smash doesn’t cause trouble with them. As for any new retros, who knows. They seem to pop up one each new game. So maybe Takamaru will get to join this time around or something. But who knows what Sakurai will have in mind here

Zelda

Everyone from the previous game should return here. Only questions is if Shiek will return to being a transformation or not. Link is obviously going to be BOTW styled but will that mean any moveset changes? We won’t know until we see actual footage of Link. Zelda will probably also be BOTW styled. Though Ganondorf didn’t have his Gerudo form in BOTW. So either they stay with his Smash 4/Twilight Princess design, make a What If BOTW styled Ganondorf, or even make him in Hyrule Warriors style. As for any new characters, I think by now any chances of a character that isn’t some alternate version of the trio isn’t going to get playable. Those hoping for any of the guardians will probably get the same disappointment that those people hoping for Skill Kid, Midna, or Impa got.

Metroid

Samus and Zero Suit Samus will obviously return. Though like Shiek the question is if they remain separate characters. But of course what is always going to be a big topic discussion is if anyone’s joining. Obviously Ridley’s going to be debated once again. But I think a dark horse (no pun intended) could be Dark Samus given Metroid Prime 4 is coming. Dark Samus would definitely be much better received then Dark Pit was. Even if Dark Samus turned out to be somewhat cloned from Samus. It’d at least be something. Even if it’s not the big bone that Ridley would be.

Kid Icarus

I don’t think they’ll be adding more. Much like Dr. Mario, maybe Dark Pit gets demoted to Alt. But as much as I’d like that there’s an equal chance they’ll keep him around anyway. I suppose another question would be about Palutena’s Custom Moves. We don’t know if Custom Moves will return. Given the DLC characters were not given any, that may be a sign they’re on their way out. And if Palutena’s stuck with her default Smash 4 moveset? That’ll suck for Palutena players, because some of her actual good moves are hidden in those.

Fire Emblem

Ah yes the franchise almost everybody complains about their representation. I think for the most part everyone in the previous game will return. Yes even Lucina, Roy, and Corrin. If Dr. Mario and Dark Pit get demoted maybe Lucina does too but I just don’t know. Lucia’s actually kinda popular. And they bothered to bring back Roy from Melee so I don’t know why they’d leave him out again. And I feel Corrin’s a bit of an early bird. He/she would of probably been a newcomer for this game, but instead he got into Smash earlier then we thought he/she would. I think that because I suspect everybody comes back, we may get no more additional Fire Emblem characters this time just to give it a break. Maybe the next Fire Emblem’s protagonist gets in through DLC but otherwise I don’t expect any new Fire Emblem characters from the get go.

Kirby

All Kirby Characters should return being Sakurai’s pride and joy. Don’t know if it’ll get a 4th character or if it’s even necessary to have one, but if they do. It’s probably Bandana Waddle Dee

Punch-Out!!

Little Mac will likely remain solo. Don’t see them suddenly adding another. That is unless… Mike Tyson enters the ring O: (Nah, I’m kidding. Though it would be hilarious)

Star Fox

This one’s going to be a little difficult to figure out. I think both Fox and Falco are safe. But the question is if Wolf will finally make his come back after missing out on Smash 4. Star Fox Zero didn’t do as well as some hoped, so there’s ground for maybe Star Fox remaining where it is. That said maybe they’d save Wolf for DLC to have that hype return like Mewtwo and Lucas was for many. Any other choices likely already missed their chance. Including Krystal.

Pokemon

Pokemon is the franchise that has historically had the most cuts within Smash. So this is incredibly hard to predict. The Pokemon company has been said to be actually a little difficult for Sakurai to deal with. For now I think everyone that was in Smash 4 should return. With the likeliest newcomer being Decidueye to complete the fire-grass-water trio that has left a hole ever since Pokemon Trainer being cut down to just Charizard. Possibly a Gen 8 newcomer for DLC.

Earthbound

Ness and Lucas should be here to stay. Don’t think there need to be any additions from here on out

F-Zero

Captain Falcon without any new games still will remain the only F-Zero character. And that’s just fine.

Animal Crossing

I think Villager stays solo. Though a small chance that maybe Tom Nook, Isabelle, or even Mr. Restti comes into the picture.

Pikmin

If there was any chance Pikmin was going to grow beyond Olimar. It’s too late as Alph is simply an alt. So other then maybe other Pikmin characters also being Alts. Olimar will be solo. Though the real question is how many Pikmin will he have this time. He could have only three at a time in Smash 4. But up to 6 in Brawl

Wii Fit

If there’s any chance at all that for the first time a new series is cut for a reason other then 3rd party issues (Metal Gear) and technical problems (Ice Climbers) then Wii Fit would probably be first on the chopping block. But I doubt they cut her out as much as some will probably be clamoring for it.

Xenoblade

I highly expect Shulk to make it back. And a good chance he’s joined in with Rex from Xenoblade 2. Shulk will likely be the Marth of the Xenoblade franchise I feel.

Miis

I think they are more likely to return in some way. Though admittedly custom moves at least leaves them a little bit in Limbo. But I just don’t see why they’d cut them. The Miis allowed for those who are young (or young at heart) to include real-life characters, impossible ones, or extremely unlikely ones to at least kinda satisfy them. It’d be kind of disappointed to go to this game without that option to create your fighter. Even if Custom Moves is largely removed, I hope the Mii Fighters still return and maybe they’re the only characters with Custom Moves. Even if that comes into conflict with Palutena.

3rd Parties

Now this is the interesting part. I think Sonic, Megaman, and Bayonetta are absolutely safe. All 3 of them have had significant releases or upcoming releases on the Switch. Plus they’d all risk alienating the fanbase should either of them be dropped because they were all included by fan demand of some sort. I think Pac-Man and Ryu are in the middle in they probably will return. I think even if Namco isn’t helping out as much as they did with the last one Pac-Man may stay anyway and if they get Megaman might as well get Ryu again too but they have some degree of doubt compared to the 3 I already mentioned. Cloud’s probably the most likely 3rd Party to leave only because I heard Square can be stingy (I mean we did only get two songs for Final Fantasy. Which is kinda ridiculous). But given that Square isn’t at odds with Nintendo right now and the Switch is selling well. I don’t see why Square wouldn’t love the free promotion for Cloud whether or not the FF7 Remake comes to the Switch. While the risk is always there, I think we’re slightly more likely to actually keep everyone along only because 3rd Parties have gotten huge. Heck, I wouldn’t even be surprised if by the time development has finished and all the DLC released. We have 10 or more 3rd Party characters playable. As for likely newcomers? I think the most likely BASE GAME 3rd party is probably Rayman. While Crash Bandicoot might be a strong DLC candidate.

And that’s all for now, if there’s something that’s announced that leaves some evaluation I may do another post like this. Probably at least a post based on this when the base game’s roster has been revealed when we know who’s returned for the base game and who didn’t. Coming next I will start covering potential newcomers and/or veterans that weren’t in Smash 4 in posts of their own soon enough.
