Super Smash Bros./Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Badass Boast]]: "Come back when you can put up a fight."

** "Victory...is my ''destiny''."

* [[Blood Knight]]

* [[Boss Subtitles]]

* [[Cool Airship]]: The Battleship Halberd is just awesome.

* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: The whole 'dark knight' vibe he gives off, including his Final Smash, Galaxia Darkness.

<!-- %% Don't place GameBreaker here. It's on the YMMV tab. -->

* [[Let's You and Him Fight]]: As soon as he meets Marth, they fight. Later, when he meets Lucario, they fight too. And when he meets Snake, he almost starts to attack, but Lucario stops him.

* [[Blue Eyes]]: His modern incarnation.

* [[Boss Subtitles]]

* [[Continuity Nod]]: Pit doesn't have an animation for swinging the hammer - he merely holds it out, and it alternates between sticking up and held out. This mirrors the lack of animation in the original ''Kid Icarus'' for when Pit used hammers.

* [[Early Bird Cameo]]: First appeared in a trophy for ''Melee''. The last line of the trophy even said "Will Pit ever fight again?", possibly foreshadowing him being playable in ''Brawl''.

* [[Fallen Angel]]: One of his [[Palette Swap|Palette Swaps]] is this.

* [[Older Than They Look]]: Implied but not directly stated. Otacon's referring to him as a "veteran warrior" hints at this, and in the demo of his [[Kid Icarus Uprising|new game]] Palutena indirectly says he is over 24.

* [[Our Angels Are Different]]

* [[Skill Gate Characters|Skill Gate Character]]: Thanks to the arrows and having pretty big hitboxes on his normal attacks. Mercifully, his melee combat is otherwise sub-par.

* [[The Southpaw]]: Indicated by the way he holds his bow. This and the way he appears at the beginning of the match<ref>similar to Link's in the first ''Smash Bros'' game</ref> draws a small comparison to Link. ''[[Kid Icarus Uprising]]'' doesn't seem to keep this trait<ref>which is amusing considering Link is ''also'' going to lose this trait in his next [[Skyward Sword|adventure]]</ref>.

** {{color|red|Red}}: Does [[Playing With Fire|fire]] damage, and is immune to fire. Strongest Pikmin with aerial attacks while slightly the second strongest with smash attacks.

** {{color|yellow|Yellow}}: Does [[Shock and Awe|electric]] damage, and is immune to electricity. Flies the farthest and has a slightly larger hitbox than the other Pikmin.

* [[Glass Cannon]]: Above average melee range and small size says "Hi", low movement and low weight says "Bye".

* [[Grievous Harm With a Body]]: Several of his moves involve slapping the opponent with a Pikmin.

* [[Skill Gate Characters|Skill Gate Character]]: You wouldn't expect this trope from him, but he has a somewhat situational advantage in his unexpected ease of control and insane melee range-to-size ratio, including the high range grab as well as 2 anti-air attacks (Pikmin Chain and Up Smash). Beyond that, however, he has no glaring strengths and his ranged grab lacks super armor, which can allow a smart opponent to break through the inevitable camping even on a stage like Battlefield without flushing him out with a projectile.

** [[Difficult but Awesome]]: On the other hand, he has a high difficulty curve afterwards knowing what Pikmin to use when and he is incredibly powerful and one of the better fighters.

* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: However, clever Olimar players will often toss a Pikmin to [[Taking the Bullet|take the bullet... or energy sphere... or rocket.]] It works, too! The Pikmin might even survive!

* [[We Cannot Go On Without You]]: If Olimar is KO'd, all the Pikmin currently out automatically die.

* [[The Voiceless]]: Though he does say his name and has many monologues in his games, Olimar here doesn't even have a voice actor, so he never utters a peep, ever.

* [[Your Size May Vary]]: In his own games, he's the size of a quarter. Here, he's only a bit shorter than Mario.

 

* [[Older Than They Look]]: Lucas is anywhere from 14 to 17 years old.

* [[Palette Swap]]: One of them is of his twin brother Claus.

* [[Psychic Powers]]

* [[Skill Gate Characters|Skill Gate Character]]: His Up Smash, while very powerful, is mercifully slow as heck and telegraphed beyond belief.

* [[Banana Peel]]: One of his special attacks.

* [[Boss Subtitles]]

* [[Edible Ammunition]]: His Peanut Popgun is the [[Trope Namer]], thanks to Solid Snake.

* [[Guns Akimbo]]: Does this in a few cutscenes and his Final Smash.

* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: His great respect in the metagame comes from his bananas (which can penetrate almost any defense) and his generally strong attacks for his size.

* [[Limit Break]]: Rocketbarrel Barrage.

* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: "Take this! '''TRIPLE FINISH!'''"

* [[Early Bird Cameo]]: His (original) hat appeared as a Pikachu costume two games before he finally appeared, and he walks by (seen from the waist down) in the first game's intro.

* [[Kamehame Hadoken]]: Again, his Final Smash.

* [[Kid Hero]]

* [[Limit Break]]: Triple Finish.

** [[All Your Powers Combined]]: It's super effective! Even against Jigglypuff.

* [[No Name Given]]: He's just called "the Pokémon Trainer". In the games, he's "Red".

* [[Offscreen Teleportation]]: Red sometimes does this in the subspace emissary. He always stays in the background and there is sometimes no visible way for him to get past certain obstacles.

 

* [[Ascended Extra]]: He went from cameo in the first ''Smash Bros.'', to trophy in ''Melee'', to finally playable character in ''Brawl''.

* [[Big Eater]]

* {{spoiler|[[Big Good]]}}

{{quote| '''Snake''': ''I don't think I can even lift that thing!''}}

** [[Stout Strength]]: He's quite possibly the fattest character in the game, but that hammer of his can and will pound you into oblivion.

* [[Early Bird Cameo]]: He appears in the background of the Dream Land stage in both N64 and Gamecube games. He also appears as a trophy in ''Melee''.

* [[Extreme Omnivore]]

* {{spoiler|[[Good All Along]]: In the ''Subspace Emissary'', King Dedede goes around turning heroes into trophies. It turns out that he's doing this so there would be heroes left to save the world after Tabuu's attack. This probably makes him the hero of the game by default.}}

* [[Mighty Glacier]]: Really odd, as he's not that heavy in his games and speed is his highest stat in ''Path Of Radiance''.

** [[Glacier Waif]]: Compared to most Brawl glaciers being huge ([[Donkey Kong]], [[Super Mario Bros|Bowser]], [[Kirby|King Dedede]]), having an ordinary human be slow pretty much counts.

** Makes more sense given his [[Darker and Edgier|characterization]] in Radiant Dawn though. It would have been right on if he said no ''mercy'' instead.

* [[Playing With Fire]]

 

* [[Aura Vision]]

* [[Boss Subtitles]]

* [[Counter Attack]]: Lucario's Down+B special.

* [[Boss Subtitles]]: {{spoiler|As the Ancient Minister, too.}}

* [[The Evil Genius]]: {{spoiler|As Ancient Minister in Subspace Emissary.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Good All Along]]: As the Ancient Minister, he served the Subspace Army, but it's later revealed that he was blackmailed and trying to stop all the bloodshed.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Last of His Kind]]}}

* [[Limit Break]]: Triforce Slash.

* [[Palette Swap]]: His [[The Legend of Zelda Four Swords (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Four Swords]] counterparts, Dark Toon Link, and Classic Link, based off of the [[The Legend of Zelda (Video Game)|original design]].

* [[Ryu and Ken]]: With Link.

* [[Secret Character]]: In ''Brawl''.

* [[Medium Awareness]]: He's the only character in the game who directly refers to the events of the Subspace Emissionary (He mentions having seen the Halbred in a Codec conversation with Mei Ling regarding Meta Knight).

* [[Mighty Glacier]]: Don't let him being a normal human in a game full of fantastical and magic creatures fool you; he's incredibly hard to KO. He's really slow but his effective mindgames and powerful explosives put him just below Meta Knight on the tier list.

* [[Palette Swap]]: While his default outfit is his Sneaking Suit in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2]]'', most of his alts are camos from ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3]]''.

* [[Practical Taunt]]: His box can hurt stuff, and even destroy the Smash Ball in one hit.

* [[Actor Allusion]]: Snake's Japanese voice actor is also the son of Eggman's Japanese voice actor; it makes a bit more sense in Japan but a whole lot less in any other country due to the fact that the VA's in English (and possibly other languages) are different.

* [[Always Accurate Attack]]: He has his signature Homing Attack as his neutral B, but it's ironically rather inaccurate and easy to avoid.

* [[Boss Subtitles]]

* [[Confusion Fu]]: Around and around he goes, which [[Spin Attack]] he uses, nobody but the person playing as him knows!

* [[Difficult but Awesome]]: He is the fastest character in ''Brawl'', but misusing his speed without practice can make you unable to land hits on the opponent or get you a self-destruct. Master his speed and you can rack up massive damage through hit-and-run tactics, then use a smash attack when your opponent least expects it.

* [[Eleventh Hour Ranger]]

* [[Gradual Grinder]]: His KO moves are weak knockback-wise, so he must deal lots of damage to the opponent to make them work.

* [[Green Eyes]]

* [[Guest Fighter]]: [[Trope Namer]], along with Snake.

** [[White Gloves]]

* [[I Shall Taunt You]]: Sonic players have a tendency to use his taunts to aggravate the opponent to make them mess up.

* [[Eyeless Face]]

* [[Death From Above]]: One of his attacks is to jump into the air and try to crush you upon landing.

* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Uses two cages for most of his attacks.

* [[Feather Fingers|Leaf Fingers]]

<!-- %%Don't add BreatherBoss or GoddamnedBoss here. They go in the YMMV tab. -->

* [[Damage Sponge Boss]]

* [[Eyes of Gold]]

* [[Flight]]

* [[No Biological Sex]]: Like most legendary Pokemon, it's genderless.

* [[Olympus Mons]]

* [[Out of Character]]: Appears out of a [[Misplaced Wildlife|lake,]] uses a move<ref>Dig</ref> it can't learn (even by TM or HM), and doesn't put up much of a fight.

* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]

* [[Collision Damage]]

* [[Death From Above]]: When his health gets low, he follows up his vehicle-mode charge by dropping on top of you.

* [[Flight]]

* [[Goomba Stomp]]

 

* [[Collision Damage]]

* [[Misguided Missile]]: You can pull this trick on him.

* [[Original Generation]]
