'''Monster Hunters''' | '''Monster Hunters''' refer to the player-created avatars from Capcom's {{uv|Monster Hunter}} series. | ||
==Origin== | |||
The core gameplay loop of every mainline ''Monster Hunter'' game is taking up quests in hunting and defeating monsters. Once a monster is defeated, players can salvage parts of a monster, which can be used to create various pieces of equipment. These include weapons, armor, augmentations, and other items, with parts of certain monsters granting unique abilities. | |||
The Hunter's Armor Set is a recurring set of armor throughout the ''Monster Hunter'' series. It is usually the first non-default armor available for purchase from the armory. The Hunter's Knife is the first sword and shield in the "Iron" series of weapons. The Rathalos Armor Set is also a recurring armor set. By repeatedly hunting [[Rathalos]], a hunter can gather enough parts from carving to assemble the set. The set is modeled after Rathalos in appearance. The Blazing Falchion is a sword and shield that can be crafted from Rathalos parts. | |||

Two Monster Hunter armor sets are the basis for paid [[downloadable content]] [[Alternate costume (SSB4)#Wave 4|costumes]] for {{SSB4|Mii Swordfighter}}s. The armor sets used are the [http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Hunter's_Armor_%28Blade%29%28MH3%29 Hunter's Blademaster Armor] while wielding the [http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Hunter's_Knife Hunter's Knife] sword and shield set, and the [http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Rathalos_Armor_%28Blade%29 Rathalos Blademaster Armor] while wielding the [http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Blazing_Falchion Blazing Falchion] sword and shield set. | |||
The reveal trailer for the costumes uses "[https://youtu.be/JSC9ENc78mg/ Proof of a Hero ~ 4Version]" from ''Monster Hunter 4'', which later released internationally as ''Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate''. Though the song wasn't included in ''SSB4'', it would later be included in ''Ultimate'''s base game.{{clr}} | |||

The two {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}} costumes from ''SSB4'' were released as DLC for ''Ultimate'' on March 4th, 2021. The timing window for their release was set to double as a promotion for ''{{s|wikipedia|Monster Hunter Rise}}''. | |||
The [[trailer]] for the Monster Hunter costumes in ''Ultimate'' contain a myriad of references to the ''Monster Hunter'' series. Along with the Rathalos, the Hunter and Rathalos Equipment [[Mii]]s are seen fighting several characters that refer to multiple monsters: a yellow {{SSBU|Yoshi}} along with smaller Yoshis referencing [https://monsterhunter.fandom.com/wiki/Qurupeco Qurupeco], a bird wyvern that can summon smaller monsters to aid it in battle from ''Monster Hunter 3''; pink {{SSBU|Donkey Kong}} referencing [https://monsterhunter.fandom.com/wiki/Congalala Congagala], a gorilla-like Fanged Beast from ''Monster Hunter 2''; {{SSBU|Ridley}} referencing the [https://monsterhunter.fandom.com/wiki/Yian_Garuga Yian Garuga], an aggressive purple bird wyvern with noticeably hardened skin from ''Monster Hunter Freedom Unite''; and a white {{SSBU|Charizard}} along with many small white {{SSBU|Kirby}}s referencing [https://monsterhunter.fandom.com/wiki/Khezu Khezu], a strange worm-like flying wyvern that dwells in caves and creates small larvae, introduced in the original ''Monster Hunter''. | |||
The Hunter Equipment Miis can also be seen performing [[Stone Scabbard]] and [[Blade Counter]], which very likely serve as references to the [https://monsterhunter.fandom.com/wiki/Long_Sword long sword] moves Spirit Helm Breaker and Foresight Slash, respectively. Similarly, the Rathalos Equipment Miis perform a [[parry]], [[Hero's Spin]], and [[Blurring Blade]], likely referring to guard points, Amped Elemental Discharge, and Super Amped Elemental Discharge, respectively, which are all notable moves utilized by the [https://monsterhunter.fandom.com/wiki/Charge_Blade charge blade] weapon. Near the end of the Round 9 Mii Costume trailer, the hunter Miis are seen standing next to a collapsed Rathalos while a [[Felyne]] hat Mii is carrying a [[barrel]]. This is referring to hunters placing down barrel bombs on sleeping monsters. | |||
Purchasing the Hunter's Mail costume alters the {{h2|List of spirits (Others)|Palamute}} spirit battle introduced in the [[MONSTER HUNTER RISE]] spirit event, with the {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}} in said battle switching to said costume instead of the Ninja Headband and Ninja Suit. Similarly, purchasing the Rathalos Armor costume alters the {{h2|List of spirits (Others)|Razewing Ratha}} spirit battle which was added in version 13.0.0, with the Mii Swordfighter in said battle switching to said costume instead of the Ninja Headband and Standard Outfit. | |||
