Yeah I guess that was a bit blunt... But at first I couldn't talk to you, so I didn't know what else to do. Should've paid more attention to the block time... [[User:MasterTabuu|MasterTabuu]] ([[User talk:MasterTabuu|talk]]) 08:34, 7 June 2018 (EDT)

== Re: Kanden ==
Here are some images of Kanden that I have referenced when trying to determine his actual color scheme:
*[https://metroid.fandom.com/wiki/File:Kanden.jpg Full body artwork]
*[https://metroid.fandom.com/wiki/File:Kanden2.jpg Alternate pose artwork]
*[https://metroid.fandom.com/wiki/File:Stinglarva.jpg Stinglarva artwork]
*[https://metroid.fandom.com/wiki/File:Kanden.gif Intro movie]
*[https://metroid.fandom.com/wiki/File:Kanden_model.jpg T-posed model]

Some of them, particularly the first two, do show some green color on his armor. However, most images show that his armor is actually black, and the green color is simply caused by light reflecting off of it. His highlights are likewise sometimes tinted lime, but for the most part they appear closer to yellow than green, as I've shown [[:File:Kanden Reference.png|in this reference image]] that I made for the Alternate Costumes (SSBU) talk page. Therefore, it seems to me that Kanden's color palette is best described as black and yellow, and there's no "true" instance of green to be found.
With Samus's black color palette, Kanden has the benefit of being a fellow playable Bounty Hunter (making such a connection not unlikely), and IIRC is the first one encountered in ''Metroid Prime Hunters'' (given that ''Smash'' seems to largely pull early-game elements from the ''Prime'' series, I consider this a point in Kanden's favor). Maybe Samus's highlights are more strictly yellow than Kanden's lime-tinted yellow, but [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] agreed that this may not be not enough to disqualify the possibility. It's certainly more likely than the Galactic Federation Demolition Trooper, which some other people try to say is the basis for the palette.
With Dark Samus's black color palette, the highlights veer a little too much into orange to say that it resembles Kanden, so I agree with you there. But for her green color palette... well, like I said before, Kanden doesn't actually have any green and he definitely doesn't have any teal, while both colors are prominently featured on this alt. It's a little too much of a stretch for my comfort.
I have heard it suggested elsewhere that Dark Samus's green alt may resemble Weavel, who is a somewhat similar shade of green in his [https://metroid.fandom.com/wiki/File:Weavel_model.jpg model]. Although, the lack of bright green highlights on Weavel's design makes me doubt this one as well. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if most of Dark Samus's palettes weren't based on anything and were just made up for ''Smash''. --[[User:PeabodySam|PeabodySam]] ([[User talk:PeabodySam|talk]]) 17:57, 28 November 2018 (EST)
