3:34, i know that his white skin can be a reference to many things, but i've always liked to believed that its inspiration came from a famous albino gorilla who lived in a spanish zoo. This gorilla was very famous by the time melee and brawl came about. His name was Copito de Nieve (snowflake), and i'm pretty sure that even the most recent spanish generations have heard about it, despite the fact that he passed away many years ago.
2:25:47 is the most heartbreaking, since I've wanted Travis in smash for so long. At least he's represented, but he really deserved a spot and is tied with Smash history so much.

The White alternate for Toon Link is actually a loose reference to the White Ring in the original Zelda game, as that was the color your tunic changed when the ring was equipped, and reduced damage by half.
Dark Samus has a few outfits that reference some of the suit upgrades from the Metroid Prime series. The red outfit is referencing Samus's Dark Suit, the black and orange outfit is likely referencing the Phazon Suit, which is what would eventually become Dark Samus.
While Pyra and Mythra's Dark Costume could be referencing Poppi from the same game. But as what one of the Xeno franchise lore buff people, such as Luxin, said that it could be a reference to Weltall, which is a mech that is piloted by the main protagonist from Xenogears, Fei Fong Wong. With the following one next to it, the tricolored alt, is literally Xenogears itself, the super powerful mech that Fei gets around the end or final chapter of Xenogears. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has several aux cores, and costumes that references other Xeno games, such as two costumes to reference Xenogears itself, along with it having Kos-Mos and T-elos as a blade you can summon. 7th one is actually a reference to the Monado, and Nia. The Monado is because of the very much same color saturation, and Pyra's core crystal is blue, to match the usual blue light of the first symbol Monado shown to have in the middle, and the light it makes for it's blade. As for what I mean by the Nia one, it's a spoiler part of the game. Nia appearing as a usual Gormotti driver, but really underneath her clothes, is actually a blade. Not just any blade, but a flesh eater, which is part of what gives Nia her appearance at first, and allows her to be a driver. The colors very much match that of what Nia's blade form has. The final one is Lora and Jin. Because Torna the *Golden* Country, the name of the prequel game, with Lora's hair, and Jin's overall silver color outfit, and hair.
Not gonna lie, Joker's is a bit iffy on what it's based on. Considering alt 3 is Persona 3, alt 4 is Persona 4, and alt 5 is Persona 5 colors, I always thought that alt 2 reminded me of 2's more maroon color scheme. (2 sorta has two color schemes, white and that weird maroon.) I never liked the idea that they reused the color red, because it honestly looks more like a maroon. I've seen a few people say that Joker's 8th alt is based on Akechi's casual clothes. I've always seen it as based on the summer outfit, but I can see Akechi too, especially since joker has an alt completely based on him.
I was honestly really fascinated with the alt costumes I never thought they referenced the other games I thought I think it's really cool I never analyzed the costumes before.
The dark purple color of Zelda seems more likely to be a reference to Impa rather than Vaati. That purple is the shade used for the Shadow Temple in Ocarina of Time whom Impa was the guardian of. Impa also had the same shade of silver hair. Impa also being Impa's guardian
0:56 fun fact: wario also has this style as well but in the drawing the Mario looked a bit thick Edit: the outfit that looks like waluigi for Mario, Luigi even has that as well
I would like to mention something really quick for pyra mythra, alt 6 while I agree that mythra is based off a gundam, Pyra is more likely based off the Master Driver Rex outfit he attains the same time Pneuma is introduced. As for alt 8 while they could be the metals as you said, they could also be based off Jin and Lora, two pretty important characters to the plot and the main driver and blade in the torna dlc. Of course this is just a very tiny gripe coming from a massive Xenoblade fan who begs to differ. Besides from that, you did an amazing job with all of this. 10/10
Nah, Luxin covered this one, and it's Xenogears. Literally the mech called that, in the Xenogears game itself. It has the same balance of colors as it. Rex Master Driver lacks the color of Red anyways.
Also, alt 4 may be based on Weltall from Xenogears. alt 5 is most definitely based on the Xenogears, the eponymous robot with the power of a god. alt 8 is probably based on the Zohar, an incredibly important device in the entire Xeno series.
*technically* Lucina doesn't reveal herself as Chrom's future daughter, as when she reveals herself she's already been born in the present. She reveals herself as the *future version* of Chrom's daughter. Also "Camus" is pronounced "cah-moo"
(Around 1:36:18) As far as I'm aware, Alex is never explicitly stated to be a Female Skin, however it would make sense as a counterpart to Steve who unintentionally became known as a Male Skin. Either way though the Design itself actually takes inspiration from one of the Minecraft Devs, Jeb, most noticably including his signature Ponytail. (as well the Skin in Minecraft itself has an Invisible Set of Pixels that when enabled gives Glasses to Alex which is another clear reference to Jeb's)
@@QuatroXEspada not pure....she wore yellow but she is a native american like character but canary mary is pure yellow...yellow hair..yellow feathers..and yellow clothes
Cloud's black FF7 outfit could be a reference to what he wore at the end of Crisis Core. It's also a reference to the SOLDIER 1st Class uniform because we see that in Crisis Core, Zack started out in a purple SOLDIER 2nd class uniform. Then he gets promoted to SOLDIER 1st class and it becomes black. I never understood why Cloud's SOLDIER uniform in original FF7 was purple. I think the blue SOLDIER uniform is supposed to reference SOLDIER 3rd class.
24:14 I think this is highly likely, considering that if you turn off lighting and grab the color from the outfit, it actually matches the colour code of the red virus.
I think this may have been referenced in a different video, but Sephiroth's one wing actually first appeared in Kingdom Hearts. Not Advent Children. Kingdom Hearts came out before Advent Children
Safer Sephiroth (his final form) from the original FF7 has the one wing in place of his right arm, so it really originated in FF7, but the iteration of the wing that we are used to did come from KH.
2:16:34 I think the reason why they changed the name for the U.S trailer is most likely because, Nintendo wanted to avoid the mention of assassins in an E10+ rated game, so the name could have been changed to keep in line with the ESRB rating.
sort of, but, it's actually because of an ESRB rule, in which, if a gaming presentation "refrences/promotes" a Mature game, then the presentation is considered Mature too, so they can't promote the game (if it's E for everyone? sorry, im not familliar with ESRB ratings, i am European.) So, the name of the game has to be censored so that the presentation is "E for Everyone/family friendly"
1:40:29 Sephiroth's wing actually made its first appearance in the first KH game, not Advent Children, following the release of KH1 in 2002, pretty much every FF media featuring Sephiroth has him with his wing, Crisis Core, AC, FFVIIR, Dissidia, and others.
Fun fact: Tails, as well as Sonic, were planned to be in the Smash series ever since Melee, but they were cut due to time restraints. As we all know, Sonic did eventually join the battle in Brawl. But Tails, being a Mii Costume, may never get his chance.
Kms 😭😭😭😭😭😭 The costumes look horrifying 💀 I get time restraints and all but seriouslyyyy after all this time they couldn’t give us Tails or Amy or Shadow over half the other characters added that I had no idea existed. Fml.
do not understand why the tails and knuckles mii costumes are the way they are, people love the sans and cuphead costumes because they actually make you the character, not a mii wearing a costume of the character, i think mii costumes of characters would be infinitely more welcome if they took that approach with all of them
you know, for Link they could've used the ACTUAL model for the Fierce Deity alt instead of recoloring the Tunic Of The Wild alt, as a matter of fact I would've preferred it if the Tunic Of The Wild alts were ALL the models they are based after: the Fierce Deity color should've been the actual Fierce Deity armor from BOTW, the darker color should've been the actual Twilight Princess Hero's Tunic, and the Dark Link alt should've been the actual Dark Link set from BOTW
That’d be really cool for the Zelda cast seeing how often their designs differ per game compared to the other series reps. It’s a missed opportunity to not allow the hero of time fight alongside the heroes of twilight and the wild.
I know that plenty of people have already said it, but I feel like the general reception towards the Geno Mii Gunner Costume would have been much more positive if the hat/headwear was completely modeled to have both Geno's head and his hat similar to Sans and Cuphead. Why this wasn't done isn't known, but if anything, I'm willing to bet that copyright issues were involved.
1:49:22 this Kazuya's Suit was also seen in Tekken Tag Tournament 1 intros and his storyboard on Tekken 6 (including a few characters storyboards) 1:51:39 in Tekken 4 and Tekken 5 Jin's Gauntlets, foot gaurd and flame pants were white instead of red and on Tekken Tag Tournament 1 was blue in character select screen and Embu intro
Joker uses a gun and a sword in combat and brings out a devil at a certain time. His color 6 is a red coat. Sephiroth uses a really long sword and can transform as well. His color 6 is a blue coat. They are the perfect counter to each other's movesets. Sakurai, you sly son of a gun.
Massive Melee Mythra is *absolutely* a Smash reference. The Nopon who gives it to you even outright states it's perfect for, and I quote, "smashing and brawling". Also, their "evil" and "aeronautical" color schemes may be closet references to Weltall and Xenogears, from PS1 game Xenogears, that is a direct spiritual predecessor to the Xenoblade series.
I want to make a correction for Lucina's 3rd alt, her third alt actually represents Selena which is Severa's is in Fire Emblem Fates because Cherche doesn't have red hair she has pink hair if you look at Cherche's artwork and model
*RYU* Color 1 (Default Costume) looks to be a combination of Ryu’s designs from Street Fighter II The World Warrior (1991), Street Fighter IV (2008) and Street Fighter V (2016) all cobbled together Color 2 1:06:02 2nd alt originates from Street Fighter II Champion Edition (1992) where it was the only other palette you could select by pressing start Color 3 1:06:04 3rd alt was the default palette in Street Fighter II Turbo Hyper Fighting (1992) where in that game you had to press the start button to access your character’s default palette… Color 4 1:06:07 in Super Street Fighter II X Grand Masters Challenge (1994) it is his default palette… Color 5 1:06:09 this is from Super Street Fighter II The New Challengers (1993) Color 6 1:06:16 this is also taken from The New Challengers Color 7 1:06:19 also from The New Challengers Color 8 1:06:23 this is actually Ryu’s default costume’s color 10 from Street Fighter V (2016) *KEN* Color 1 (Default Costume) A combination between Street Fighter II and Street Fighter IV’s Ken designs…he inherits the brown glove from Street Fighter II but inherits blue eyes from Street Fighter IV which is weird because Ken is half Japanese in the first place…but in Street Fighter V (2016) his eyes go back to being brown Color 2 1:06:44 2nd alt originates from Street Fighter II Champion Edition (1992) where it was the only other palette you could select by pressing start Color 3 1:06:46 3rd alt was the default palette in Street Fighter II Turbo Hyper Fighting (1992) where in that game you had to press the start button to access your character’s default palette… Color 4 1:06:48 in Super Street Fighter II X Grand Masters Challenge (1994) it is his default palette… Color 5 1:06:50 this is actually directly taken from Street Fighter V (2016)…if you notice his Gi is much darker than the green we’ve seen him sport in some iterations of SFII and his belt is a dark pink…this costume actually comes from Ken’s story costume’s color 7 which happens to have the exact same color scheme right down to the gloves…minus the extra long hair taken from the Street Fighter Zero/Alpha series Color 6 1:06:53 this is taken from Super Street Fighter II The New Challengers (1993) Color 7 1:06:56 also another rip from SSFIITNC Color 8 1:06:58 this one is also from Street Fighter V (2016)…it’s his story costume’s color 10…unfortunately as much as I wish I could see both Evil Ryu and Violent Ken alts of Ryu and Ken I know Sakurai-san wouldn’t let it happen…
5:57 While mass-produced Samus is indeed a Gundam reference, it's not a reference to any Gundam (not sure where that "mass-produced Gundams have a green base" came from), but the main mass-produced enemy from the first show, the Zaku, which has a round head and round shoulder similar to Samus'.
27:01 for that specific Falco costume if you look very closely on the upper half of the body it looks like Bredly from deltarue chapter 2 in cyber world
Bayo’s Orange Alt is a Reference to Loki, the child that she helps in Bayo 2, and the White Alt is either a reference to her Nun outfit or her Pure Platinum Trophies.
1:40:42 The first appearance of Sephiroth's black wing was actually his appearance as an optional boss in the International and Final Mix versions of the first Kingdom Hearts, not Advent Children!
I still think Lilac from "Freedom Planet" would have made a good playable character if she was added to the roster, since the game she's from happens to be a favorite of many indie game fans, and I heard that "Indie Pogo" is not a suitable game for her to be in due to its broken gameplay.
6:02 I should point out, as a fan of the Gundam series, that while there were one or two Gundams throughout the franchise sporting green as their primary color, the mass-produced suits that this suit would reference are the Zakus (and their future spinoffs, including the Leos of Wing), which are used by the Principality of Zeon, the enemies of the Federation. Makes me wonder if there was something else that color scheme was meant to reference instead...
Perhaps the Metroids? They are usually depicted with green and a little bit of red or it could reference one of the colors that flashes on Samus on the ending cutscene of the first Metroid game!
Bowser's all-grey skin is from the Japanese SMB1 boxart. It used to be in a Nintendo catalogue I had as a kid and I just shrugged it off as random promotional artwork.
So I think the two changed Robin alts got changed to match three houses since it was announced the same year as Ultimate’s release. Only reason I could see changing the hair from red to a lighter color and from yellow to brown
I feel like there should at least be a footnote in the description saying "This is just me reading off the Smash Wiki colour palettes page". Cause like... I like the visuals with the descriptions. But it's almost just word for word man.
I don’t think he grabbed everything from the Smash Wiki, because he gave origins for costumes that don’t have origins, like a couple of Lucario’s costumes. None of Lucario’s costumes have origins according to the Smash Wiki. Also, he missed some origins, like Ness resembling the color scheme of Everdred’s outfit with the green costume. Also, he only briefly went over the origins for Mega Man’s outfits, when in fact all of them, except the default and maybe the red one, have an absolute mountain of references for weapon colors.
i like to think that the green and yellow skin for Richter is made to look like Maria Renard a friend of Richter and other playable character in rondo of blood
Fun fact for Arusu/Erdrick: He is actually Australian since in Dragon Quest 3 each area is designed after real life countries on our planet. So yes technically you can go to Japan in that game to which is named Jipang.
@@Bubbabyte99 The OG trilogy and 11 all take place on the same timeline for sure though, the other games may or may not be part of that same world. I'd like to think so, like a Zelda timeline.
His Timeless River look has a lot more wide appeal, anyone who knows Kingdom Hearts is affiliated with Disney could easily figure out it's based on Steamboat Willy era cartoons, even if they know nothing else about the level. It's a pretty solid choice to break the theme of all his other alts. Though now that I think about it, if all of Sora's alts where instead based on his appearances in different Disney worlds, the Halloween Town look might fit right in.
clouds blue and red original skin are for soldier 3rd and 2nd class respectively, and the black one symbolizes the soldier 1st class uniform you get in crisis core
Probably a stretch, but I think Sephiroth's silver/gray alt might be a reference to the degradation process, which notably affects Genesis and (sorta) Angeal.
I’m pretty sure the red, blue and pink Color’s for young link is a reference to the legend of Zelda four swords when link grabs the four sword which then makes clones based on his emotions.
I always figured Party Hat Pikachu originated from the Birthday Pikachu trading card. A card that let people deal extra damage if it were theur birthday. This card has been banned in tournaments for obvious reasons.
QUICK NOTE: This doesn't include any corrections or anything (with a couple exceptions), it's purely every video from the series jammed into one. I may do a corrections video but this is simply the original series compiled into a supercut!

Dark Samus has a few outfits that reference some of the suit upgrades from the Metroid Prime series. The red outfit is referencing Samus's Dark Suit, the black and orange outfit is likely referencing the Phazon Suit, which is what would eventually become Dark Samus.
While Pyra and Mythra's Dark Costume could be referencing Poppi from the same game. But as what one of the Xeno franchise lore buff people, such as Luxin, said that it could be a reference to Weltall, which is a mech that is piloted by the main protagonist from Xenogears, Fei Fong Wong.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has several aux cores, and costumes that references other Xeno games, such as two costumes to reference Xenogears itself, along with it having Kos-Mos and T-elos as a blade you can summon.
7th one is actually a reference to the Monado, and Nia. The Monado is because of the very much same color saturation, and Pyra's core crystal is blue, to match the usual blue light of the first symbol Monado shown to have in the middle, and the light it makes for it's blade. As for what I mean by the Nia one, it's a spoiler part of the game. Nia appearing as a usual Gormotti driver, but really underneath her clothes, is actually a blade. Not just any blade, but a flesh eater, which is part of what gives Nia her appearance at first, and allows her to be a driver. The colors very much match that of what Nia's blade form has.
The final one is Lora and Jin. Because Torna the *Golden* Country, the name of the prequel game, with Lora's hair, and Jin's overall silver color outfit, and hair.
Not gonna lie, Joker's is a bit iffy on what it's based on.
Considering alt 3 is Persona 3, alt 4 is Persona 4, and alt 5 is Persona 5 colors, I always thought that alt 2 reminded me of 2's more maroon color scheme. (2 sorta has two color schemes, white and that weird maroon.) I never liked the idea that they reused the color red, because it honestly looks more like a maroon.
I've seen a few people say that Joker's 8th alt is based on Akechi's casual clothes. I've always seen it as based on the summer outfit, but I can see Akechi too, especially since joker has an alt completely based on him.
Yeah, I personally say that his last alt is Akechi’s clothes. The summer blazer would’ve been more white
I was honestly really fascinated with the alt costumes I never thought they referenced the other games I thought I think it's really cool I never analyzed the costumes before.
DK's Blue tie on his red outfit is probably also a callback to how the stages are coloured Blue
DK's green skin is probably a reference to the jungle green N64 with the red expansion.
The dark purple color of Zelda seems more likely to be a reference to Impa rather than Vaati. That purple is the shade used for the Shadow Temple in Ocarina of Time whom Impa was the guardian of. Impa also had the same shade of silver hair. Impa also being Impa's guardian
"Impa being Impa's guardian"?
@@sonicstar917 I think I had multiple thoughts and accidentally typed that. I can't remember what I meant
@@justelisan1766 I've had that happen a few times myself.

Sonic wasn't even a Nintendo party. Him joining was the union of Nintendo and Sega symbolically to audiences. More could join, but....
I would like to mention something really quick for pyra mythra, alt 6 while I agree that mythra is based off a gundam, Pyra is more likely based off the Master Driver Rex outfit he attains the same time Pneuma is introduced. As for alt 8 while they could be the metals as you said, they could also be based off Jin and Lora, two pretty important characters to the plot and the main driver and blade in the torna dlc.
Of course this is just a very tiny gripe coming from a massive Xenoblade fan who begs to differ. Besides from that, you did an amazing job with all of this. 10/10
Nah, Luxin covered this one, and it's Xenogears. Literally the mech called that, in the Xenogears game itself. It has the same balance of colors as it. Rex Master Driver lacks the color of Red anyways.
Also, alt 4 may be based on Weltall from Xenogears.
alt 5 is most definitely based on the Xenogears, the eponymous robot with the power of a god.
alt 8 is probably based on the Zohar, an incredibly important device in the entire Xeno series.
Oh Really? Thanks for the correction
Local Xenoblade 2 fan:
Local Xenoblade 1 enjoyer:
*technically* Lucina doesn't reveal herself as Chrom's future daughter, as when she reveals herself she's already been born in the present. She reveals herself as the *future version* of Chrom's daughter.
Also "Camus" is pronounced "cah-moo"
That's pedantic
I didn’t know that that is how it’s pronounced.
(Around 1:36:18) As far as I'm aware, Alex is never explicitly stated to be a Female Skin, however it would make sense as a counterpart to Steve who unintentionally became known as a Male Skin.
Either way though the Design itself actually takes inspiration from one of the Minecraft Devs, Jeb, most noticably including his signature Ponytail. (as well the Skin in Minecraft itself has an Invisible Set of Pixels that when enabled gives Glasses to Alex which is another clear reference to Jeb's)
9:34 him: "and lastly Kirby has a color based on Meta Knight without his mask."
me: LOOK OUT IT'S A HEARTLESS!
The yellow outfit for Banjo-Kazooie is actually more likely to be based on Canary Mary, specifically regarding Kazooie.
Maybe it could also be a reference to Golden Freddy/Fredbear from the FNaF series.
I thought it looked like Dio and The World
PTSD has entered the chat.
My forearm still aches just thinking about it
I always assumed it was humba wumba given that she's literally pure yellow
@@QuatroXEspada not pure....she wore yellow but she is a native american like character but canary mary is pure yellow...yellow hair..yellow feathers..and yellow clothes
Cloud's black FF7 outfit could be a reference to what he wore at the end of Crisis Core. It's also a reference to the SOLDIER 1st Class uniform because we see that in Crisis Core, Zack started out in a purple SOLDIER 2nd class uniform. Then he gets promoted to SOLDIER 1st class and it becomes black. I never understood why Cloud's SOLDIER uniform in original FF7 was purple. I think the blue SOLDIER uniform is supposed to reference SOLDIER 3rd class.
24:14 I think this is highly likely, considering that if you turn off lighting and grab the color from the outfit, it actually matches the colour code of the red virus.
Imagine if he just said "this costume is based on sans undertale" and moved on
Is because of course some costumes look like Miis playing dress up. As for Sans, Cuphead, Vault Boy and Bomberman which have unique model swaps
12:34 This also references his design in Super Mario Bros
Kingdom Hearts is the actual first appearance of the wing, as Sephiroth’s secret boss fight in KH1 predates Advent Children and Dissidia
I think this may have been referenced in a different video, but Sephiroth's one wing actually first appeared in Kingdom Hearts. Not Advent Children. Kingdom Hearts came out before Advent Children
I wish Sephiroth used One Wing more
Safer Sephiroth (his final form) from the original FF7 has the one wing in place of his right arm, so it really originated in FF7, but the iteration of the wing that we are used to did come from KH.
2:16:34 I think the reason why they changed the name for the U.S trailer is most likely because, Nintendo wanted to avoid the mention of assassins in an E10+ rated game, so the name could have been changed to keep in line with the ESRB rating.
sort of, but, it's actually because of an ESRB rule, in which, if a gaming presentation "refrences/promotes" a Mature game, then the presentation is considered Mature too, so they can't promote the game (if it's E for everyone? sorry, im not familliar with ESRB ratings, i am European.)
So, the name of the game has to be censored so that the presentation is "E for Everyone/family friendly"
1:40:29 Sephiroth's wing actually made its first appearance in the first KH game, not Advent Children, following the release of KH1 in 2002, pretty much every FF media featuring Sephiroth has him with his wing, Crisis Core, AC, FFVIIR, Dissidia, and others.
Fun fact about Incineroars third alt: on top of that, it is most likely a reference to its pre evolution, littens, color scheme
Young Link's pink color scheme references Link using Farore's charm in Minish Cap and his light-blue color references Link's champion tunic
Blue alt has existed before breath of the wild, toon link had it in the past, same with link in previous games
@@sbp1763 LIGHT BLUE
Fun fact: Tails, as well as Sonic, were planned to be in the Smash series ever since Melee, but they were cut due to time restraints. As we all know, Sonic did eventually join the battle in Brawl. But Tails, being a Mii Costume, may never get his chance.
Kms 😭😭😭😭😭😭 The costumes look horrifying 💀 I get time restraints and all but seriouslyyyy after all this time they couldn’t give us Tails or Amy or Shadow over half the other characters added that I had no idea existed. Fml.
do not understand why the tails and knuckles mii costumes are the way they are, people love the sans and cuphead costumes because they actually make you the character, not a mii wearing a costume of the character, i think mii costumes of characters would be infinitely more welcome if they took that approach with all of them
you know, for Link they could've used the ACTUAL model for the Fierce Deity alt instead of recoloring the Tunic Of The Wild alt, as a matter of fact I would've preferred it if the Tunic Of The Wild alts were ALL the models they are based after: the Fierce Deity color should've been the actual Fierce Deity armor from BOTW, the darker color should've been the actual Twilight Princess Hero's Tunic, and the Dark Link alt should've been the actual Dark Link set from BOTW
That’d be really cool for the Zelda cast seeing how often their designs differ per game compared to the other series reps. It’s a missed opportunity to not allow the hero of time fight alongside the heroes of twilight and the wild.
@@peanutbutter6720 we were fucking robbed from the potential
Then they'd have different models that wouldn't match up with collision
@@KaitouKaiju I meant the actual model for the Fierce Diety set from Breath of The Wild
@@KaitouKaiju I mean they’re not that much different and BOTW Link already has some of those outfits available to him through armor sets.

Alternate Title: "Smash Ultimate Costume Origins - EVERY Fighters / Mii Fighters - Aaronitmar"

16:00 “Jigglypuff wears a green sleeping hat, refferencing famous smash melee player, Hungrybox”
29:40 I like to think that Young Link just drenched his tunic in milk and kept it like that.
I know that plenty of people have already said it, but I feel like the general reception towards the Geno Mii Gunner Costume would have been much more positive if the hat/headwear was completely modeled to have both Geno's head and his hat similar to Sans and Cuphead. Why this wasn't done isn't known, but if anything, I'm willing to bet that copyright issues were involved.
1:49:22 this Kazuya's Suit was also seen in Tekken Tag Tournament 1 intros and his storyboard on Tekken 6 (including a few characters storyboards)
1:51:39 in Tekken 4 and Tekken 5 Jin's Gauntlets, foot gaurd and flame pants were white instead of red and on Tekken Tag Tournament 1 was blue in character select screen and Embu intro
Joker uses a gun and a sword in combat and brings out a devil at a certain time. His color 6 is a red coat.
Sephiroth uses a really long sword and can transform as well. His color 6 is a blue coat.
They are the perfect counter to each other's movesets.
Sakurai, you sly son of a gun.
Interestingly Shantae's first game was published by Capcom so it make sense that she appeared in the Capcom wave of DLC Mii costumes.
Massive Melee Mythra is *absolutely* a Smash reference. The Nopon who gives it to you even outright states it's perfect for, and I quote, "smashing and brawling".
Also, their "evil" and "aeronautical" color schemes may be closet references to Weltall and Xenogears, from PS1 game Xenogears, that is a direct spiritual predecessor to the Xenoblade series.
51:04 : Green Lucario is actually the shiny Lucario from the original game. Otherwise keep up the good work !
I want to make a correction for Lucina's 3rd alt, her third alt actually represents Selena which is Severa's is in Fire Emblem Fates because Cherche doesn't have red hair she has pink hair if you look at Cherche's artwork and model
@@jennyg9131 Not all actually because I think it's represents Selena than Cherche because it looks a bit more red than pick when you look closely
*RYU*
Color 1 (Default Costume)
looks to be a combination of Ryu’s designs from Street Fighter II The World Warrior (1991), Street Fighter IV (2008) and Street Fighter V (2016) all cobbled together
Color 2
1:06:02 2nd alt originates from Street Fighter II Champion Edition (1992) where it was the only other palette you could select by pressing start
Color 3
1:06:04 3rd alt was the default palette in Street Fighter II Turbo Hyper Fighting (1992) where in that game you had to press the start button to access your character’s default palette…
Color 4
1:06:07 in Super Street Fighter II X Grand Masters Challenge (1994) it is his default palette…
Color 5
1:06:09 this is from Super Street Fighter II The New Challengers (1993)
Color 6
1:06:16 this is also taken from The New Challengers
Color 7
1:06:19 also from The New Challengers
Color 8
1:06:23 this is actually Ryu’s default costume’s color 10 from Street Fighter V (2016)
*KEN*
Color 1 (Default Costume)
A combination between Street Fighter II and Street Fighter IV’s Ken designs…he inherits the brown glove from Street Fighter II but inherits blue eyes from Street Fighter IV which is weird because Ken is half Japanese in the first place…but in Street Fighter V (2016) his eyes go back to being brown
Color 2
1:06:44 2nd alt originates from Street Fighter II Champion Edition (1992) where it was the only other palette you could select by pressing start
Color 3
1:06:46 3rd alt was the default palette in Street Fighter II Turbo Hyper Fighting (1992) where in that game you had to press the start button to access your character’s default palette…
Color 4
1:06:48 in Super Street Fighter II X Grand Masters Challenge (1994) it is his default palette…
Color 5
1:06:50 this is actually directly taken from Street Fighter V (2016)…if you notice his Gi is much darker than the green we’ve seen him sport in some iterations of SFII and his belt is a dark pink…this costume actually comes from Ken’s story costume’s color 7 which happens to have the exact same color scheme right down to the gloves…minus the extra long hair taken from the Street Fighter Zero/Alpha series
Color 6
1:06:53 this is taken from Super Street Fighter II The New Challengers (1993)
Color 7
1:06:56
also another rip from SSFIITNC
Color 8
1:06:58 this one is also from Street Fighter V (2016)…it’s his story costume’s color 10…unfortunately as much as I wish I could see both Evil Ryu and Violent Ken alts of Ryu and Ken I know Sakurai-san wouldn’t let it happen…
47:56 : the fact that silver's alt has an arc of the cosmos further cements my headcanon that silver's future is just riders
5:57
While mass-produced Samus is indeed a Gundam reference, it's not a reference to any Gundam (not sure where that "mass-produced Gundams have a green base" came from), but the main mass-produced enemy from the first show, the Zaku, which has a round head and round shoulder similar to Samus'.
I havent seen the anime only played ps2 game but isnt Zaku the most popular Gundam? I think that would be where its from. Just speculation
@@deadfIag Zakus aren't Gundams.
27:01 for that specific Falco costume if you look very closely on the upper half of the body it looks like Bredly from deltarue chapter 2 in cyber world
Oh Toby, getting inspired by smash again
DK's green color is a King of Swing reference. The Melee version is a dark green, while the modern version is more like the King of Swing reference
Bayo’s Orange Alt is a Reference to Loki, the child that she helps in Bayo 2, and the White Alt is either a reference to her Nun outfit or her Pure Platinum Trophies.
White is probably a reference to Jeanne's witch costume
@@KaitouKaiju Jeanne got an alt with was the red one with blue guns
that’s a neat compilation idea!
I love that nice little touch, the way each character's corresponding theme song plays in the background as Aaron explains their origin.
1:40:42 The first appearance of Sephiroth's black wing was actually his appearance as an optional boss in the International and Final Mix versions of the first Kingdom Hearts, not Advent Children!
The intentional Sephiroth butchering then correctly saying it was amazing.
Banjo's 4th color is based on Crash Bandicoot: Blue shorts are Crash's jeans and redish fur is he's original color in Crash 1.
Absolutely not
@@gjgaming2133 Well that's my only guess what that actually based on. I will be wrong but whatever.
@@JJhulle maybe check the Smash wiki. That has accurate origins for alternate costumes.
I can’t get over the fact that Donkey Kong’s tie is reacting and brushing against the individual pieces of wood.
I still think Lilac from "Freedom Planet" would have made a good playable character if she was added to the roster, since the game she's from happens to be a favorite of many indie game fans, and I heard that "Indie Pogo" is not a suitable game for her to be in due to its broken gameplay.
6:02 I should point out, as a fan of the Gundam series, that while there were one or two Gundams throughout the franchise sporting green as their primary color, the mass-produced suits that this suit would reference are the Zakus (and their future spinoffs, including the Leos of Wing), which are used by the Principality of Zeon, the enemies of the Federation.
Makes me wonder if there was something else that color scheme was meant to reference instead...
Perhaps the Metroids? They are usually depicted with green and a little bit of red or it could reference one of the colors that flashes on Samus on the ending cutscene of the first Metroid game!
So just a quick note Samus' Green suit is also from Prime 2: Echos. I believe it's the player 3 or 4 suit in multi-player deathmatch mode.
Samus has had the Green suit since smash 64, so not really.
I don't care if it's only a compilation of every costume origins video. I'm watching it all the way to the end, no matter what
The gold suit for kazuya makes way more sense being a direct reference to the metallic outfits in T7
Dude, u keep saying "this red costume.." when clearly it is pink... or am I color blind????
and then he calls purple "pink"
Bowser's all-grey skin is from the Japanese SMB1 boxart. It used to be in a Nintendo catalogue I had as a kid and I just shrugged it off as random promotional artwork.
So I think the two changed Robin alts got changed to match three houses since it was announced the same year as Ultimate’s release. Only reason I could see changing the hair from red to a lighter color and from yellow to brown
1:20:00 the yellow & pink piranahs are also very clearly referencing wario and waluigi as well
Fun Fact, Sans' Mii costume is actually based on his Fangamer figurine, as that was the only 3D rendition of the character at the time
The amount of work required for this video… Good work man.
bowser's green pallet swap may also draw some inspiration from king koopa from the super Mario super show
I feel like there should at least be a footnote in the description saying "This is just me reading off the Smash Wiki colour palettes page". Cause like... I like the visuals with the descriptions. But it's almost just word for word man.
I don’t think he grabbed everything from the Smash Wiki, because he gave origins for costumes that don’t have origins, like a couple of Lucario’s costumes. None of Lucario’s costumes have origins according to the Smash Wiki. Also, he missed some origins, like Ness resembling the color scheme of Everdred’s outfit with the green costume. Also, he only briefly went over the origins for Mega Man’s outfits, when in fact all of them, except the default and maybe the red one, have an absolute mountain of references for weapon colors.
i like to think that the green and yellow skin for Richter is made to look like Maria Renard a friend of Richter and other playable character in rondo of blood
Tid bit of info, Chrom’s last color alt is loosely based on his dark alternate from a dlc in Japan
Mewtwo’s cyan color is actually a reference to his new shiny color, just made a bit more cyan than green
1:48:06 the "dark" skins and gundam skins are actually both a reference to Xenogears with the first and final mech that you get in that game
Fun fact for Arusu/Erdrick: He is actually Australian since in Dragon Quest 3 each area is designed after real life countries on our planet.
So yes technically you can go to Japan in that game to which is named Jipang.
Never took Erdrick for an Aussie, lmao. What about Eight, Solo and Eleven?
@@daseal1479 Only Dragon Quest III's map is designed after Earth, so they don't have an irl country of origin.
@@Bubbabyte99 The OG trilogy and 11 all take place on the same timeline for sure though, the other games may or may not be part of that same world. I'd like to think so, like a Zelda timeline.
For Ike's Greil design it could also double down as a reference to Brave Ike in fire emblem heroes who closer resembles the color scheme imo
Bowser’s 5th alt I think is from the Japanese box art for the original Super Mario Bros, since his skin is all dark grey in that art
I’m REALLY sure that Falco’s light blue and green outfit is supposed to reference Fox’s outfit in Star Fox Adventures
Bowser's grey alt is not based on Morton. It is based on the Japanese art of Super Mario Bros where Bowser was originally designed to be an ox.
^^^
Personally, I love to think that Rosalina's Black Dress is a reference to Pokemon Champion Cynthia
I love that smash has an original design for Shiek in every game, even if they're based on similar outfits or concept art.
I’ve always liked the costumes with different designs, since it shows that the makers put in work instead of just swapping the color
They should have added Sora’s outfit for when he visits Halloween town from either KH1 or KH2. Missed opportunity
His Timeless River look has a lot more wide appeal, anyone who knows Kingdom Hearts is affiliated with Disney could easily figure out it's based on Steamboat Willy era cartoons, even if they know nothing else about the level. It's a pretty solid choice to break the theme of all his other alts.
Though now that I think about it, if all of Sora's alts where instead based on his appearances in different Disney worlds, the Halloween Town look might fit right in.
clouds blue and red original skin are for soldier 3rd and 2nd class respectively, and the black one symbolizes the soldier 1st class uniform you get in crisis core
Probably a stretch, but I think Sephiroth's silver/gray alt might be a reference to the degradation process, which notably affects Genesis and (sorta) Angeal.
Purple DK might be a reference to the 2004 adware BonziBuddy, which used a purple gorilla as an avatar for the character
Jigglypuff and Kirby also share a lot of models (or they did in the N64 game) so Jiggly's sleepy time hat makes a lot more sense.
I’m pretty sure the red, blue and pink Color’s for young link is a reference to the legend of Zelda four swords when link grabs the four sword which then makes clones based on his emotions.
I always figured Party Hat Pikachu originated from the Birthday Pikachu trading card. A card that let people deal extra damage if it were theur birthday. This card has been banned in tournaments for obvious reasons.
