Chrom's alt colours
Currently we don't have much in regards to Chrom's alts, so I'd like to throw my hat into what they might be referencing. For reference, I'm using this video to see the full costumes.
- Default
- This might be Walhart, due to the deep red throughout, as well as the black undertones.
- This is almost certainly Gangrel. The dark main coat with gold highlights, as well as a yellow cape on both sides just screams Gangrel in my eyes.
- Owain (already on the page)
The dark main colour along with the brownish/orange highlights, and dark blue inner cape may reference Gaius, one of his support options, though this one's more tough to say.Looking closer at Gaius his cape is more clearly black, so this is less likely. It could well be Lon'qu instead, as he has a similar black undershirt, blue cloak, white leggings, and yellow highlights.- This is very likely Sumia, one of Chrom's possible love interests. That shade of purple and pink highlights are unmistakably hers.
- Kellam (already on the page)
- This is the most difficult for me to ascertain. The black main colour along with the purple highlights may be referencing Brady, one of Chrom's possible future children, but there are quite a few black/purple colour schemes around Awakening. Plus, the light blue buckles are throwing me for a loop.
If anyone has any other ideas, please throw em down. Xamad (talk) 14:18, 4 December 2018 (EST)
I can see Gaius, but the one that really makes sense to me is Gangrel. That’s spot on and almost certainly the case The black costume looks a bit like Inigo’s but the white portions aren’t wiutec there. ImBeingHelpful (talk) 22:15, 12 December 2018 (EST)
- The one you say to be Gangrel is green in color, which does not match Gangrel's black. I'm also going to argue against Sumia, as the costume does not take into account Sumia's lighter-colored armor. Aidan, the Festive Rurouni 23:34, 15 December 2018 (EST)
Jiglypuff's Red costume
Its hibiscus is according to the site based on Phoebe from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire (2002) However, the costume was present in Melee, released before Ruby & Sapphire and only the gen 1-2 were represented in melee. Jf811 (talk) 22:01, 15 December 2018 (EST)
Incineroar’s Inverse color scheme
The black and red color scene that is a partial reversal seems to be related to the first stage of the evolution line Litten, who has the majority black color scheme. It makes sense to be a reference to it. Shawksta (talk) 12:39, 16 December 2018 (EST)
The black Greninja is NOT based on Shiny Ash-Greninja
The alt I'm referring to is Color 4 - the one where Greninja's primary skin color is black, but with an orange-ish underbelly and head, and a very orange tongue. It debuted in Smash 4 (as you can see here) and the costume has not been modified at all in its transition to Ultimate. Smash 4 is a 2014 game. Ash-Greninja (and its Shiny form) were only introduced to the Pokemon games in 2016. How could a costume older than the attributed reference possibly be its source of inspiration? This should be removed.
There are several problems like this throughout the article, such as with Bowser's pink-haired alt suddenly being based on Giga Bowser's appearance in Ultimate despite predating it in Smash 4.Nintendo101 (talk) 16:06, 16 December 2018 (EST)
