21[[folder:The whole series]]
22* '''"SUPER[[note]]or DAIIIIIRANTOU[[/note]]! SMAAAAAAAAAAAASH BROTHERS!"''[[labelnote:Explanation]]What the LargeHam announcer says after the game's opening cinematic (but sadly only in the first two games).[[/labelnote]]
23** '''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosMelee "MAYYYYYYYLAYYYYYYYYYY!"]]'''
24* '''Warning! Challenger Approaching!''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]This screen appears when the player faces an unlockable character. People tend to Photoshop characters they would like to see in Smash Bros. and put them in these screens with the words and their silhouette shown.[[/labelnote]]
25* '''It's Not Melee!'''''[[labelnote:Explanation]]Fans tend to always say this quote whenever discussing any other Smash Bros. that isn't Melee, thinking it is the only good game in the series.[[/labelnote]]
26* '''TVTROPES CONFIRMED FOR SMASH''' or '''TVTROPES joins the Battle!'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]Based on character introduction trailers for ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl Brawl]]'', ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU 3DS / Wii U]]'', and ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate Ultimate]]'', particularly the latter two where the character's portrait is shown along with their name and a quip about them entering battle, such as "Videogame/{{Mega Man|Classic}} Joins the Battle!" or "[[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy Rosalina & Luma]] Launch into Battle!" Used as both wishing for a certain character to be included as well as a joke about the massive number of available characters.[[/labelnote]]
27** Naturally, the newcomer intros are also done with various other characters. [[http://imgur.com/a/9G906 As seen here.]]
28** ''*brawl theme intensifies*''[[labelnote:Explanation]]While ''Brawl'' is considered to be an "okay" game at best (and divisive at worst), its main theme can be best described as the ''Smash'' equivalent of "[[MemeticMutation Guile's Theme]]", often used for announcing new fighters and/or just hyping up the already-chaotic battles. Naturally, fans were having a field day with this...[[/labelnote]]
29** Franchise/{{Shrek}}/[[Franchise/DragonBall Goku]] for Smash. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Shrek and Goku are popular joke votes/suggestions poking fun at the naïve and immature section of the fanbase who legitimately want them in ''Smash'', despite Sakurai himself stating that only characters who debuted in video games first before any other medium would be eligible for ''Smash.'' While Goku still is to this day brought up as a serious idea for a character, thanks to the plethora of [[SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames well-regarded licensed games]] [[CashCowFranchise his series has and continues to have]] and being a world famous anime icon, to the point that Sakurai has had to shoot the idea down [[https://www.thegamer.com/super-smash-bros-confirms-goku-exclusion/ several]] [[https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/09/13/super-smash-bros-ultimate-will-never-add-goku-or-iron-man times]], Shrek is nearly always suggested as a joke. This one only got more hilarious when Goku was discovered to be the winner of the ballot in Latin America, [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff where his franchise is an institution.]] Even funnier still when it was revealed that ''VideoGame/DragonBallFighterZ'' would be ported to the Switch, in the same Direct that revealed ''Ultimate''.[[/labelnote]]
30*** "[[https://web.archive.org/web/20171011183332/https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYQHAAABAACNUKFKX1qftA Here's your Shrek and Goku.]] You happy now?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A joking Miiverse post parodying the Goku and Shrek joke votes for the ballot.[[/labelnote]]
31*** ''VideoGame/ShrekSuperSlam'' counts as a game![[labelnote:Explanation]]A common reason, joking or otherwise, to put Shrek in the game is that he's had his own ''Super Smash Bros.'' clone, which is also one of the few ''Shrek'' titles to avert TheProblemWithLicensedGames.[[/labelnote]]
32*** But Goku's ''already'' in Smash![[labelnote:Explanation]]The English voice actor for Goku, Creator/SeanSchemmel, is also the dub voice of Lucario in both the ''Pokemon'' anime and all SSB games since the fourth game, which has not been lost on ''Smash'' fans. Additionally, the Hero (well, [[PaletteSwap Hero]]''[[TheDividual es]]'') of [[Franchise/DragonQuest another series]] with designs by Creator/AkiraToriyama was revealed as a DLC fighter for ''Ultimate'' at E3 2019, with [[VideoGame/DragonQuestIII Erdrick]] in particular having a hairstyle resembling Goku's. Continued with the reveal of the Martial Artist Mii Costume based on the same series, a decision [[TrollingCreator Sakurai had to have been fully aware of]]. On top of that, Goku & Chao from ''Yūyūki'' is a Spirit in ''Ultimate''.[[/labelnote]]
33** [[Franchise/{{Cars}} Lightning McQueen]] for Smash![[labelnote:Explanation]]Since the LicensedGame for the first ''Cars'' movie released a few days before the film itself, many fans have joked that Lightning is technically eligible to be a fighter in ''Smash'' under Sakurai's stipulation that characters on the roster need to originate in video games.[[/labelnote]]
34** [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys Freddy Fazbear]] for Smash![[labelnote:Explanation]]Considering just how hard ''[=FNaF=]'' took off, this was kind of inevitable. Freddy is seen as a "meme pick" for ''Smash Brothers'' characters, alongside the aforementioned Goku and Shrek. And [=SpongeBob=]. A number of people hold the more sensible suggestion that Freddy just be a standard trophy, like fellow indie [[VideoGame/BitTrip Commander Video]].[[/labelnote]]
35** [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans]] for Smash! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Sans from ''Undertale'' succeeded Freddy Fazbear as a memetic requested character. He tends to get requested over the game's actual protagonist, Frisk, due to the game's PacifistRun being seen as the GoldenEnding and [[AmbiguousGender them]] being subject to ThouShaltNotKill, and Sans' [[ItWasHisSled now well-known]] status as the final boss of a No Mercy run. He at least applies for the bit of being on a Nintendo console, seeing as ''Undertale'' was announced for the Switch in the same Direct that ''Ultimate'' was first announced. [[{{Pun}} Ultimate]]ly [[AscendedMeme ascended]] when he made it in as a costume for the Mii Gunner.[[/labelnote]]
36*** Ness is already in the game, though [[labelnote:Explanation]]A reference to ''WebVideo/GameTheory''[='s=] infamous video in which, among other things, [=MatPat=] claims that Ness eventually becomes Sans. This meme is referenced with the costume to an extent, with two of the Mii Gunner's specials resembling PK Fire and PK Magnet, and the costume's own promotional picture showing it on Magicant, a stage from [[VideoGame/{{Mother}} Ness's home series]].[[/labelnote]]
37** [[http://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/371561723225702400/517856841150234649/Reckless_Safety_Notice_Man.jpg Reckless Safety Notice Man for Smash!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]One joke suggestion is the silhouetted man who appears in the Safety Notice screens at the start of most Wii games.[[/labelnote]]
38** My dad Brian, for ''Smash''[[labelnote:Explanation]]A copypasta involving someone asking for their dad, Brian, to be in ''Smash'' and how they had incessantly requested Sakurai to include him. Used to parody fans of highly niche characters that form {{Vocal Minorit|y}}ies requesting they be put in ''Smash''.[[/labelnote]]
39** [Nintendo executive] for Smash! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another fairly common and unlikely request is asking for well-known Nintendo employees to be represented in ''Smash''. The most common names are Creator/MasahiroSakurai (due to his being the face of the series), Creator/ShigeruMiyamoto (due to his being the face of Nintendo), Reggie Fils-Amie (due to [[FountainOfMemes his own memetic presence]], being the former face of Nintendo of America, and being one half of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NcDZmmu9FM Reggie vs. Iwata]] video), and the late Creator/SatoruIwata (due to his former position as president of Nintendo making him incredibly important for the company, his role as the former host of ''WebVideo/NintendoDirect'' making him an iconic face within the Nintendo fandom, and his appearance as the other combatant in the Reggie vs. Iwata video).[[/labelnote]]
40* Characters getting invitations to Smash [[labelnote:Explanation]]As of ''Ultimate'', the ''Smash'' invitation that Villager received in the prior game has become the symbol of being added to the base roster, or as DLC. In response to this, people started making art or [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/464420275187089448/714287083933401148/image0.png other]] [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/464420275187089448/681032720553738250/Garfield_for_Smash.png silly]] [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/468916221975199745/682090585531875347/dsz37hoev8w21.jpg image]] [[https://old.reddit.com/r/Spongebros/comments/fdevet/patchy_the_pirate_joins_the_battle/ edits]] where other people get an envelope with ''Smash''[='s=] distinctive logo on a red seal.[[/labelnote]]
41* In the Japanese fandom, certain {{Kiai}} screams of the swordsmen will inevitably be quoted whenever the character is mentioned. The most commonly seen are "IIIEEEE-yah!" (Roy), "EAAAAHH!" (Link), with the most popular one being "Nuun!" (Ike).
42** "HIYAYAYAYA!!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the North American version of ''Brawl'', Pit's {{Kiai}} scream (with length varying) when using his side special, Angel Ring, became heavily associated with him due to how effective of a SpamAttack Angel Ring is as a move and how annoying it can be. In some circles, it went to become the move's FanNickname. For better or worse, Angel Ring was replaced with Upperdash Arm in the fourth game.[[/labelnote]]
43*** Can also be heard as "HOIYOIYOIYOIYAA!"
44* Taunt parties[[labelnote:Explanation]]A general name for when groups of people play online but don't actually fight; despite the name, taunt parties don't have to consist of just taunting. Other things to do include spamming attacks, walking, running, or crawling into each other, breaking your own shield or someone else's, footstooling repeatedly, using attacks with windboxes, hitting each other with weak attacks, performing stage jumps, or other things like playing catch with Villager's tree or doing the Luigi Ladder.[[/labelnote]]
45** Made even better in Ultimate with the introduction of Inkling, who can squidbag.
46* [=McDonalds=] Wi-Fi [[labelnote:Explanation]]The most common way to refer to players whose internet connections are ''far'' below unplayable is to say that they're playing from wi-fi at a store or other building that offers public wi-fi, or even places that don't.[[/labelnote]]
47* Recreating scenes from ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' in a ''Smash Bros.'' context. There's even an entire [[https://old.reddit.com/r/Spongebros/ subreddit]] dedicated to it.
48* On this very wiki: whenever someone adds a picture to one of the SugarWiki/AndTheFandomRejoiced pages for this series, expect someone to caption it with "The Internet exploded!" or some variation thereof. It's sadly been gutted due to page length issues, however.
49* Snowglobed[=/=]Stuck in Snowglobe Hell [[labelnote:Explanation]]A FanNickname for Assist Trophy characters that have yet to escape from the role of being an assist item.[[/labelnote]]
50* Super Smash Bros. X {franchise}[[labelnote:Explanation]]Ever since ''Smash 4'', whenever a new franchise is introduced (whether it's a third-party universe or a Mii Costume reveal), an animation showing "Super Smash Bros. X Franchise" is shown. Similar to the "Confirmed for Smash!" or "Joins the battle" memes, many people have made up these kinds of images to make suggestions about franchises that could join ''Smash'', both sincere and joking.[[/labelnote]]
51* ''Smash'' is now ''VideoGame/{{Mugen}}''[[labelnote:Explanation]]With the sheer amount of franchises and characters now represented in ''Smash'', ranging from being playable fighters to making small cameos as Spirits, ''Smash'' has more or less been acknowledged as an official ''M.U.G.E.N'' game.[[/labelnote]]
52** Some people will also point out that Creator/BandaiNamco, who developed ''Ultimate'', also have [[Franchise/StreetFighter Akuma]], [[VideoGame/FatalFury Geese Howard]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV Noctis]], and [[Series/TheWalkingDead Negan]] in ''VideoGame/Tekken7'', which they also developed (and published), which gives them the rare honor of having developed two "official" ''M.U.G.E.N'' games.
53* Bad ledges [[labelnote:Explanation]]Every ''Smash'' game seems to have one competitively legal stage where the ledges work only when they want to. ''Melee'' has Battlefield, ''Brawl'' has Final Destination and Lylat Cruise, and ''For Wii U'' and ''Ultimate'' also have Lylat Cruise.[[/labelnote]]
54* [[GodNeverSaidThat Fanrules]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]For reasons unknown, the online ''Smash'' community has been ''incredibly'' argumentative about what characters should be added to the game. The most notable sign of this are "fanrules", completely made-up rules that are regularly flaunted as "proof" a character can't be added to the game... despite almost all of them being either based on assumptions with nothing solid backing them, or contradicted by characters who are already in the game; the only official rule is that a character has to be from a game or significant to gaming as a whole (the latter being the caveat that R.O.B. falls under). The term "fanrule" is used as a catch-all to refer to any of these fabricated rules.[[/labelnote]]
55* '''[[EpicFail "FAILURE!"]]'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]The announcer's line when you fail an Event Match, Multi-Man Smash, or a Spirit Battle. Some players like to replace the usual [="GAME!/GAME SET!"=] with it when the match [[TooDumbToLive ends with a self-destruct or other stupid move.]][[/labelnote]]
56[[/folder]]
57
58[[folder:Characters]]
59* [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] confirmed [[labelnote:Explanation]]Despite the fact that Mario has been playable in the series ever since ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros64'', people decided to imagine a scenario where he wasn't in ''Smash''. Some even pretended that it would be impossible for the company to put him in the game or that the existing pictures of Mario were photoshopped. Nintendo UK [[MemeAcknowledgement acknowledged it]] and posted on Twitter that [[http://twitter.com/NintendoUK/status/1067400542236880897 Mario is indeed confirmed in Smash]] after he appeared [[http://twitter.com/SuperMario_UK/status/1067357943606231040 in the countdown for Ultimate]]. Yet, people still go with the flow and cheer for the mascot that he got in. It might double as heartwarming.[[/labelnote]]
60%% * [[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry Donkey Kong]]:
61%% * [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]]:
62* [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Samus/Zero Suit Samus]]:
63** Underwater Samus [[labelnote:Explanation]]The most common way to summarize Samus's odd movement physics throughout the ''Smash'' series.[[/labelnote]]
64** The HotterAndSexier design of Samus's [[SensualSpandex Zero Suit]] has resulted in everyone getting drawn in her Zero Suit, and we do mean ''[[WholesomeCrossdresser every]][[FanDisservice one]]''.
65*** [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs Dark Zero Suit Samus]][[labelnote:Explanation]]With the playable reveal of Dark Samus, some ''Smash'' fans got wondering: what about "Dark Zero Suit Samus?" ''Metroid'' fans quickly pointed out that, considering [[HumanoidAbomination what Dark Samus is]], [[https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yo2VM46_SPE/maxresdefault.jpg she looks horrifying under her suit]], which itself would lead to people jokingly comparing the two nonetheless to see who is sexier. Regardless, fan artists conjured up an alternate design for Dark Zero Suit Samus, with it being normal Samus with dark blue skin and cyan hair. ''Webcomic/AwkwardZombie'' [[https://www.awkwardzombie.com/comic/headcanon got in on the fun]] by having Wolf and Dark Pit speculate what she looks like under helmet, only for Dark Samus to ''remove her head'' when they ask.[[/labelnote]]
66** Zero Suit Samus' physique in ''Ultimate'' gained a ton of attention upon release for the more toned and buff appearance, leading to a massive amount of fanart and appreciation shortly afterwards.
67*** Nerfed boobs, but overall buff. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Others noticed that ZSS's bust size was noticeably reduced, but joked that it didn't matter since she was now toned and it was a net gain.[[/labelnote]]
68* [[VideoGame/YoshisIsland Yoshi:]]
69** Yoshi's out-of-shield animation[[labelnote:Explanation]]Yoshi's animation for popping out of shield has him in a happy, excited-looking pose. Spamming this is essentially a fourth taunt, and has put Yoshi up with Kirby, Bayonetta, and King Dedede in the "characters who still have taunt-like actions in ''Ultimate'''s Quickplay" group.[[/labelnote]]
70** [[Franchise/StreetFighter Shun Yoshi Satsu]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Starting in ''[=3DS/Wii U=]'', one of Yoshi's winning animations has him punch the screen a few times before giving a BadassBack to the camera, similar to what Akuma does after his infamous LimitBreak, ''Shun Goku Satsu''. This became HilariousInHindsight after Ryu and later Ken were added to the roster, and Nintendo [[AscendedMeme acknowledged the similarities]] with one Challenge Board image in ''Ultimate'' depicting Yoshi in this pose next to a defeated Ken.[[/labelnote]]
71* Franchise/{{Kirby}}:
72** Ever since the first game came out, it's been a popular trend on art sites to make character hats for Kirby.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Since ''Kirby's Adventure'', and for most subsequent games in the series, when Kirby uses his neutral B, the inhale, [[PowerCopying he copies his opponent's neutral special]] and gains a hat (since ''Kirby Super Star'') or some form of attire based off the character.[[/labelnote]]
73** Speaking of copying, it's a popular trend to have Kirby copy Captain Falcon and make remix videos of his version of Falcon Punch with Gourmet Race in the background, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPFj4k0X8uI like this one.]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Specifically, this was a video that was initially uploaded to Website/NicoNicoDouga, only to gain further popularity upon being reuploaded to [=YouTube=]. It's a common joke for people to admit that they have no idea what the announcer is saying in the middle, with it supposedly supposed to be, "Wazukana jikan wo mitukete PK Fire suru Kirby da." (Roughly translating to, "Kirby uses his PK Fire at the slightest moment.")[[/labelnote]]
74** The ''Smash Bros'' version of Gourmet Race in general has been a very popular choice for remix videos.
75** Kirby turning back and forth [[labelnote:Explanation]]Kirby's animation for turning while walking has him briefly put his hands in the air while looking at the camera. Repeatedly turning around gets a lot of mileage as a secondary taunt for Kirby.[[/labelnote]]
76** Kirbyroth [[labelnote:Explanation]]After [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]] was added, the image of Kirby with Sephiroth's signature flowing silver hair ''instantly'' became fanart fodder; and then Sephiroth was released and it turned out that's ''exactly'' what Kirby looks like when he inhales Sephiroth![[/labelnote]]
77* [[Franchise/StarFox Fox]]:
78** FIYER! LEEEAAANNNDMAAASSSSTUUUURRRRRRRRRR! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Fox's [[VideoGame/StarFox64 "new"]] voice in ''Smash 4'', provided by Mike West from ''Star Fox 64'', has been subject to mockery, with many players thinking that he sounds too dorky and annoying for someone as badass as Fox [=McCloud=], as his voice here sounds a lot raspier. West has since undergone VocalEvolution for ''Ultimate'', making him sound more mature.[[/labelnote]]
79** TORYA! FIYAAAAAAAAH! MISHUN CUMPREE! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Because of their top tier status in ''Melee'', players and spectators will be hearing Fox and Falco voice clips like these a lot, and easily notice [[AsianSpeekeeEngrish signs that their voice actors are Japanese]].[[/labelnote]]
80** Brawl Fox's butt [[labelnote:Explanation]]Fox's design in ''Brawl'' is somewhat infamous for depicting him with [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/starfox/images/b/b0/Super_smash_bros_brawl-183287.jpg an unusually shapely rear end and tight pants]], something the internet has since turned into a bit of a RunningGag (and, in [[PopularWithFurries certain]] {{Periphery Demographic}}s, a point of interest) whenever bringing up ''Brawl'''s specificalities. In the same vein as Zero Suit Samus's chest, the fact that future games would see Fox become less refined in that area caused some to joke about Nintendo intentionally "nerfing" Fox's butt.[[/labelnote]]
81%% * [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu]]:
82* [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Luigi]]:
83** Luigi's down taunt [[labelnote:Explanation]] Luigi's down taunt has him kicking the ground with a dejected look on his face. This taunt is a meteor smash, which can potentially give it some offensive use when used at the right time. It's even more of a meme because in character trailers, in ending cutscenes and in his All-Star Mode congratulations screen in ''Melee'', Luigi is costantly shown using it on Mario to cause him to fall off the ledge, essentially betraying him instead of helping him. This also ties to another meme below:[[/labelnote]]
84*** [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Long live the king]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] As said above, Luigi is often shown using his down taunt to meteor smash Mario when he is hanging on to a ledge. It was already quite known back then, but this became especially viral starting by late 2018, when ''Ultimate'' was released and gave Yoshi a new Final Smash, Stampede!, which is based off of Yoshi's scene in ''Melee'''s opening cutscene, leading many people to make videos where they edit this scene from The Lion King with Mario and Luigi's faces, or edit two clips from ''Ultimate'' that have Mario getting meteor smashed by Luigi and then getting trampled by the Yoshis running in the deserted gorge like Scar assassinating his brother Mufasa by throwing him into the gorge during a wildebeest stampede.[[/labelnote]]
85** Mario is dead and Luigi is happy about it [[labelnote:Explanation]] In ''Brawl'', Luigi's Classic Mode congratulations screen has him standing in the final pose he makes in his up taunt, with Mario laying prone at his feet with his eyes closed. While Luigi has a scared look on his face as a reference to how he appears in'''VideoGame/LuigisMansion1'''s boxart, the prospective of the scene and the fact that in this pose when Mario is on the ground like this, makes it ambiguous, making it come off to many as if Mario is dead or Luigi killed him, that Luigi is happy about it and that he is enjoying that he will take his brother's place in the spotlight and as the new number 1.[[/labelnote]]
86* [[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 Ness]]:
87** "Okay" [[labelnote:Explanation]] Based on the voice clip in ''[=EarthBound=]'' during the naming section, Ness says this as a taunt in a very awkward way. Often used to "reply" to other taunts.[[/labelnote]]
88** PK FIRE [[labelnote:Explanation]]What Ness says every time he uses his neutral special (in ''Smash 64'') or side special (in the games afterwards). Unlike most characters, who have either quiet voice lines, multiple unique lines, only say their lines sometimes, use sounds, or just have no audio, Ness only ever says this in a relatively loud voice, and since many players use the move frequently (since it usually locks the enemy into place while racking up damage and leaves them open to followups, including ''[[CycleOfHurting itself]]'' (to a limited extent, since it can be DI'd or SDI'd out of)), this line has frequent presence in any match involving Ness.[[/labelnote]]
89** ''Smash 4'' Back Throw [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the fourth installment(s), Ness's back throw was infamously the strongest throw in the entire game, killing even the heaviest fighters at barely over 120%, gaining it notoriety similar to PK Fire. This was also in the previous games, as unlike the throws of other veterans, it barely lost power from ''64'' despite its reduced damage, but with the ever larger roster, this becomes even more noticeable.[[/labelnote]]
90* [[VideoGame/FZero Captain Falcon]], the series' resident FountainOfMemes. Hell, some consider his memetic status on par with that of real life memetic badass Creator/ChuckNorris:
91** [[CallingYourAttacks "FALCON... PUUUUUUNCH!!!"]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Captain Falcon's neutral special move in all five games so far, consisting of a MegatonPunch that has a slow and telegraphed windup, but has potential K.O. power if it hits. Probably the most famous meme in the series because of the funny/awesome vocal delivery ("FAL-COOOWN... PAAAAAWNCH!"); the DifficultButAwesome nature of a technique which allows a skillful player to OneHitKill an opponent if they get the situation and timing perfect; and the sheer spectacle of Captain Falcon's fist exploding into a flaming bird while knocking the opponent clear off the screen.[[/labelnote]]
92*** It's so famous, ''Anime/FZeroGPLegend'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wa5OkdP3-r8 included it]] in a [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome spectacular]] HeroicSacrifice.
93*** Even [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkbA8KGRoNw the game itself]] [[AscendedMeme references it]].
94*** How about the fact that Galeem and Dharkon can die to the Falcon Punch, cementing Captain Falcon as a MemeticBadass, as if he wasn't already.
95** "YESZ!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]What Captain Falcon says after hitting someone with his up special, Falcon Dive.[[/labelnote]]
96** Show me ya moves![[labelnote:Explanation]]Captain Falcon's (badass) taunt.[[/labelnote]]
97*** "Shoyu mousse!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A very popular mishearing in Japan, meaning "soy sauce mousse".[[/labelnote]]
98** Captain Falcon punched [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Chrom]] so hard [[HitYouSoHardYourXWillFeelIt he fell out of the roster]].[[labelnote:Explanation]]In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diS8AnL3xqs Lucina and Robin's reveal trailer for the fourth game]], Chrom is knocked out behind her, and Captain Falcon easily has Lucina herself on the ropes before Robin steps in. In the game proper, Chrom is an AssistCharacter in Robin's Final Smash.[[/labelnote]]
99** Captain Fabulous [[labelnote:Explanation]] The affectionate FanNickname Captain Falcon's iconic [[RealMenWearPink hot pink]] alternate costume, said to be based off of fellow F-Zero racer Jody Summer. Many claim he's the only character who can pull off wearing it and be even manlier.[[/labelnote]]
100%% * [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Jigglypuff]]:
101* [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Peach's]] side taunt "La la la la la la" and one of her victory screens "Did I win?" are both infamous for being absolutely infuriating to those who lose to the character.
102%% * [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Bowser]]:
103%% * [[VideoGame/IceClimber Ice Climbers]]:
104* [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Sheik's]] damage output [[labelnote:Explanation]]Sheik's moves all do little damage but have high combo potential. Starting in ''Ultimate'', many people began to exaggerate her low damage output by joking about things like [[https://twitter.com/Jvet05/status/1209699148372557825 a 6-hit combo from Sheik doing a whopping 7%]], or [[http://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/464420275187089448/680019161354600455/image0.png comboing with her for 3 days straight and only doing 27%]].[[/labelnote]]
105* [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Zelda]]: '''"STAND POWER!!!"''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Fans have noted that Zelda's flashy pose when performing B-down in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'' looks a lot like something [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency Joseph Joestar]] would strike. Never mind the fact that B-down summons an AssistCharacter to fight for Zelda, which is ''heavily'' reminiscent of a Stand.[[/labelnote]]
106%% * VideoGame/DrMario:
107* [[EmoTeen Emo]] [[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Pichu.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Most of Pichu's attacks cause it to [[SelfHarm hurt itself]]. Naturally, many fans tended to portray it as an EmoTeen. Wooden Plank Studios has best popularized this, with Pichu portrayed as a masochist named Blackrose, [[https://woodenplankstudios.com/comics/painchu/ stealing Simon's whip to continue its self-harming habits]].[[/labelnote]]
108* [[Franchise/StarFox Falco]]: "Soumen" [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the Japanese version of ''Brawl''[='=]s Lylat Cruise stage EasterEgg, Falco says that the enemy attacks are "like soumen" (a type of noodle; translated as "overcooked noodles"), causing the others to lampshade how ridiculous that sounds. The fandom ran with this, and he earned the eternal FanNickname "soumen".[[/labelnote]]
109** "''Personally'', I ''prefer'' the ''air!''" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A quote said by Falco in the English versions of ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'' when using his Final Smash, the Landmaster. Fans were quick to point out that Falco openly expresses disdain for the same vehicle in ''VideoGame/StarFox64'', so this line quickly became memetic as a result. The line was retired with the rework of his Final Smash in ''Ultimate'', although it lives on in his ingame Tips and Hints page, [[AscendedMeme where the writer heard that Falco "prefers the air"]].[[/labelnote]]
110* [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Marth]]:
111** Any variation of [[ViewerGenderConfusion calling Marth a girl]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Many people noticed Marth's incredibly {{bishonen}} appearance, certain feminine animations, and the fact that he wears a tiara. The addition of [[DistaffCounterpart Lucina]] in the fourth game didn't help.[[/labelnote]]
112** His white costume looking like a wedding dress.
113** "The gay is mine!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Marth's victory phrases, "the day is mine!" misheard as "the gay is mine!"[[/labelnote]]
114** "[[DoubleEntendre Just the tip.]]"[[labelnote:Explanation]]The tip of Marth's sword does more damage and knockback than the rest of it.[[/labelnote]]
115** [[Literature/OneFishTwoFishRedFishBlueFish One Marth\
116Two Marth\
117Red Marth\
118Blue Marth]][[labelnote:Explanation]]After Chrom's announcement, [[http://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/371561723225702400/511656624356720641/One_Marth.png an edited picture]] of the cover of ''One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish'' popped up, referencing how there are 4 ''Fire Emblem'' characters that play like Marth and just so happen to fit the book's title: Marth himself, his Echo Fighter Lucina, Marth's red-haired semiclone Roy, and Roy's blue-haired Echo Fighter Chrom.[[/labelnote]]
119** _____ Marth [[labelnote:Explanation]]Fans give these [[https://i.pinimg.com/736x/8c/88/e0/8c88e048d162042b0e4335ff2b973bc9--shut-up-wut.jpg kinds]] of nicknames to other ''Fire Emblem'' characters, addressing their criticism and stigma toward them (i.e. being another sword-wielder (it doesn't help that they are ''very'' prominent in the series), shares Marth's famous blue hair, suffering under the OnlySixFaces designs, and only Robin not having a counter move). This goes only further when it applies to the non-''Fire Emblem'' characters, like [[https://i.redd.it/a46zwehkht821.png this]].[[/labelnote]]
120%% * [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Young Link]]:
121* [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Ganondorf]]:
122** Ganon[[http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/904/342/893.png dunk]]! [[labelnote:Explanation]] Ganon in ''Smash 4'' has become notorious for his use of Flame Choke to perform [[http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/851/687/3fe.gif Ganoncide]]. In ''Brawl'' on last stock behavior, it was unpredictable whether he won, lost, or sudden death occurred. Cut to ''Smash 4'' on last stock behavior, and he always wins! However, in ''Ultimate'', he always dies first. If you're a stock ahead, however...[[/labelnote]]
123** Ganondorf, King of Disrespect! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Ganon got his nickname as the "King of Disrespect" because [[MightyGlacier he's slow but hits hard]]. This means that playing as him requires precision and hard reads. Also, since he is a Falcon clone, his playstyle naturally lends itself to looking flashy (especially in ''Melee'', as he's gained a majority of his own sluggish animations in later games), much like he is disrespecting his foes. His ability to Ganondunk and gain an easy KO on an opponent who lets him do this also contributes to the disrespect.[[/labelnote]]
124** "Falcondorf!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A frequent nickname given to Ganondorf because of the fact that he is a moveset clone of the F-Zero racer Captain Falcon, even though the two aren't from the same franchise. It doesn't help that he has remained a semi-clone or echo-fighter since Melee.[[/labelnote]]
125** "DORIYA!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]''Ultimate'' finally allows him to wield a sword as a Smash Attack after his last two games have him simply hold it as a taunt. His Side Smash is the most well known because he always yells this and because it can reliably score a kill at very low damage, even for Ganondorf standards.[[/labelnote]]
126* [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue MEWTWO!!]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPTpGlwh2HU MEWTWOOOO!! OH MY GOD!!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]The late WebVideo/{{Etika}} made history upon reacting to the reveal that Mewtwo, who was previously cut from ''Brawl'' and initially didn't make it in for ''3DS/Wii U'', would be returning for the latter installment as the game's first taste of DownloadableContent. Masahiro Sakurai himself even retweeted the reaction.[[/labelnote]]
127* [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade Roy]]:
128** "Roy is in Super Smash Bros. 4!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A joke that implies that Roy from ''Fire Emblem'' is returning, when it's really Roy Koopa (or, less commonly, Marth with a PaletteSwap in Roy's colors). Eventually, the ''Fire Emblem'' Roy also returned via DLC, which is {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d by having Roy show animosity towards the Koopaling and attacking him mid-trailer. A Classic mode clear image on the 3DS version shows them both being pals and riding Roy Koopa's clown car together, and multiple pictures in ''Ultimate'' (one challenge and Roy's Classic victory picture) also have the two together.[[/labelnote]]
129*** Since the Young Lion's DLC release, it's become common to show art of the two Roys being friends, if not rivals.
130*** Another common joke is to show all the Fire Emblem characters, but replacing Roy with Roy.
131** Among the Japanese fanbase, Roy (FE) is associated with curry, thanks to [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CHhcXxLUcAAkDz8.jpg the winner of a photo contest]] from the ''Melee'' days. There is always at least one curry-related post that can be seen floating around in his Miiverse sub-community, and even his ''Wii U/3DS'' reveal trailer [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CHhcZsCUsAAQggs.png references the photo.]]
132** Roy's our boy! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Roy's crowd cheer in the ''Smash'' series, and easily one of the most iconic ones. Roy in general is associated with the phrase "our boy" due to this cheer, to the extent that some people will call him that or use the phrase as a modifier when differentiating him from Roy Koopa.[[/labelnote]]
133** t3h ph1r3 [[labelnote:Explanation]]Jokingly stating that the fire effects produced by Roy's attacks are an advantage he has over other ''Fire Emblem'' characters, particularly Marth and Chrom.[[/labelnote]]
134%% * [[Platform/GameAndWatch Mr. Game & Watch]]:
135* [[Franchise/{{Kirby}} Meta Knight]]:
136** Brawl Meta Knight[[labelnote:Explanation]]Back in the ''Brawl'' days, the swordsman of Dream Land was ''[[GameBreaker infamous]]'' for his insane versatility and recovery options, to the point where the game's [[StealthPun meta]] revolved entirely around him, and some tournaments outright banned him from play. ''Brawl'' Meta Knight is referred to almost as a single entity due to his top-tier status, especially since later games in the series would go on to severely {{nerf}} him.[[/labelnote]]
137** Where's Meta Knight's sword?[[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the nerfs Meta Knight got in the fourth game is reduced range in his attacks, to the point where some people joke that he doesn't have a sword.[[/labelnote]]
138** Looks like Meta Knight borrowed Roy's sword for ''Smash 4''. [[labelnote:Explanation]]In ''Melee'', Roy also had hitboxes that didn't match up with his moves' animations.[[/labelnote]]
139** '''COME.''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Meta Knight's down taunt has gotten a lot of recent notoriety thanks to the DoubleEntendre nature of the word.[[/labelnote]]
140%% * [[VideoGame/KidIcarus Pit]]:
141* [[VideoGame/{{Wario}} Wario]]:
142** Associating with [[VideoGame/WarioWare Wario]] is bad luck. [[labelnote:Explanation]]So far, a number of characters who starred in games with Wario have gone on to become Assist Trophies in ''Smash''. This includes Waluigi, Bomberman, Ashley, and Starfy.[[/labelnote]]
143** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAVeoovpeBk Wario Vectoring]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to how ''Smash Bros for 3DS'' processed momentum for characters being sent flying to account for a player fighting back against the trajectory, in combination with Wario's nature as a floaty character, he had the unique distinction of being able to alter his momentum in completely absurd ways, able to either recover from almost any attack that didn't send him careening directly into the KO boundaries, or flying back the way he came, across the screen, and into the ''opposite'' boundary. The glitch was eventually patched, but given Wario's general characterization as spitting in the face of physics and logic whenever it suits him, it stuck in people's minds as something he might as well be doing, glitch or not.[[/labelnote]]
144** '''WARIO!!! I GOTTA WIN!!!'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]The [[PokemonSpeak only two things Wario can say]] in WebVideo/RealTimeFandub's dub of Subspace Emissary, repeated over and over as [[NoIndoorVoice loudly as possible]]. It has since been used in association with Wario outside of said fandub.[[/labelnote]]
145* [[VideoGame/MetalGear Solid Snake]]:
146** '''DA DA DADADA, DA DA DA!''' "It's showtime!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Snake says this upon the reveal that he's a newcomer in ''Brawl'', accompanied by a triumphant version of his GameOver music.[[/labelnote]]
147** "Kept you waiting, huh?"[[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Snake's entrance quotes. It gained even more traction after his return in ''Ultimate''.[[/labelnote]]
148** '''"THERE!" / "NOW!"''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of these two lines is said by Snake whenever he manually detonates a pack of C4. Gained its memetic status after one too many times where Snake gets sudden and unexpected kills with it.[[/labelnote]]
149*** '''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable KILLER QUEEN]]''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]An overlapping meme with the one above portrays Snake as Yoshikage Kira, with his C4 detonations represented as Killer Queen. This specifically focuses on the kills where Snake detonates C4 while it is stuck to an opponent.[[/labelnote]]
150** B B B B B B B B [=DownB=] B B B B B [=DownB=] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Many online Snake players feel the need to have at least 2 grenades in play at any given time. This hasn't gone unnoticed by the internet.[[/labelnote]]
151* [[VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance Ike]]:
152** "I FIGHT FOR MY FRIENDS."[[labelnote:Explanation]]What Ike says during one of his victory poses, delivered in the [[SoBadItsGood strangest]] [[DullSurprise way]] possible. It's also a [[ThePowerOfFriendship very, very cliché line,]] so much that it crosses the line twice into being iconic.[[/labelnote]]
153** GREAT! AETHERRRR!!! [[labelnote:Explanation]]While performing his Final Smash, Ike [[LargeHam dramatically]] [[CallingYourAttacks declares its name]].[[/labelnote]]
154** AETHERRRR!!!! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Ditto for his Up+B.[[/labelnote]]
155** The above two lines are misheard in Japan as "'''I! HATE! YOU!'''" and "'''PIZZA!'''", respectively.
156** You'll get no sympathy from me.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Another of Ike's victory quotes, infamous for two major reasons — first, it's hilariously blatant TrashTalk, and second, ''it's '''completely''' {{out of character}}'', as it's actually a BeamMeUpScotty of a quote in which he originally says "You'll get no ''[[GoodIsNotSoft mercy]]'' from me", which the Japanese version of the quote gets right.[[/labelnote]]
157** Ike is a FountainOfMemes in Japan as well. Thanks to [[http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/gamemode/etc/images/etc01/etc01_080307_011-l.jpg this snapshot]] from the official ''Brawl'' website, it was a common joke in the fandom to superimpose a doughnut on Ike's face and call him "Doughnutman"; probably due to the cape and belt making him resemble some kind of superhero in the vein of ''Literature/{{Anpanman}}''.
158** Buff Ike [[labelnote:Explanation]]After Ike's new, ''Radiant Dawn''-based appearance in the fourth game, plenty of jokes have been made about how he has bulked up since ''Brawl''. The Japanese fandom has taken to calling this model of him "Gorilla Ike", probably from the FanNickname of "Gorrilaguz" from the main ''Fire Emblem'' fandom. He is usually grouped up with Mega Swampert from ''[[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]'' and Knuckles from ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'' due to the similar buffed-up appearances. It's also the subject of a lot of [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Anchor Arms]] jokes.[[/labelnote]]
159** HURRICANE IKE. [[labelnote:Explanation]]In September of the same year that ''Brawl'' was released, a major Hurricane formed in the northern atlantic and ripped through The Bahamas, Haiti, Cuba, Louisiana, and Texas. It was officially named Ike by the National Hurricane Center, leading to humorous reactions by the fanbase which proceeded to make some [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mE-IjLUnOA0 fitting]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNmKIsAW_xA parodies]].[[/labelnote]]
160* [[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry Diddy Kong]]: Hoo! Hah! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Born at Paragon 2015 where a member of the crowd (Static Manny, now known as All Might) [[ForcedMeme kept shouting it]] whenever Diddy would use a down throw>up-aerial combo. Well-known player Hungrybox (who plays as Jigglypuff) got so irritated with hearing it that he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yB-6oRB4ABo ragequit]], forfeiting the set. [[HilariousInHindsight Hilariously]], that became Hungrybox's sub sound for his Twitch account. [[/labelnote]]
161%% * [[Franchise/{{Pokemon Pokémon Trainer (Squirtle/Ivysaur/Charizard)]]:
162* [[VideoGame/Mother3 Lucas]]:
163** [[CrossesTheLineTwice Winning won't bring]] [[spoiler:[[CrossesTheLineTwice Claus]]]] [[CrossesTheLineTwice back]][[labelnote:Explanation (SPOILERS)]]The ending of ''Mother 3'' involves Lucas' twin brother, Claus, dying, and some of the comments that appeared in the fourth installment's Miiverse stage [[CrossesTheLineTwice made fun]] of this TearJerker. Sometimes Claus is replaced for Hinawa, Lucas' mother [[MissingMom who dies]] early in the game.[[/labelnote]]
164* Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog:
165** "YOU'RE [[TooSlow TOO SLOW!]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Sonic's side taunt in ''Brawl''. Spammed endlessly by players that [[FragileSpeedster dash across the stage and can't be hit]]. This was changed to the ''far'' less obnoxious "Sonic Speed!" in the fourth game, mostly due to a change of voice actor (though Sonic's clips in ''3DS/Wii U'' onward are mainly just Creator/RogerCraigSmith's voice clips from other games).[[/labelnote]]
166*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPXy7MTiv9I&feature=youtu.be Even Tails decided to get in on that meme]], [[WesternAnimation/SonicBoom albeit six years later.]]
167** "'''[[SuperMode NOW I'LL SHOW YOU!!!]]''' '''''[[{{Kiai}} HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!]]'''''"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Sonic shouts the first phrase upon activating his [[LimitBreak Final Smash]], Super Sonic. He then continuously yells the second phrase during the Final Smash. ''Smash 4'' changes this to a reused voice clip from ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations''; "Super Sonic Style!"[[/labelnote]]
168** The other taunt, "COME ON! STEP IT UP!", gets this a lot too. Like the side taunt, this was changed in ''Smash 4'' as well, specifically shortened to just "Come on!"
169** "You're going to Minecraft!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Sonic's forward Smash somehow sending Mario flying into the world of ''Minecraft'' from the Steve reveal trailer led to comparisons with the "You're going to Brazil" meme.[[/labelnote]]
170** "For his Down Smash, I'd change it so he spawns two flickies to both sides of him." [[labelnote:Explanation]]A phrase taken from a [[https://youtu.be/TT-ZCf7onMM?t=150 moveset video for Sonic]], which got popular in Twitter as a way to refer to and criticize fan-movesets focusing more on shoving references than proper attacks.[[/labelnote]]
171* [[Franchise/{{Kirby}} King Dedede]]:
172** Dedede is already perfect.[[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the loading screen tips provides this explanation for why King Dedede's inhale ability doesn't grant him copy powers like Kirby. The fanbase frequently reference the line in response to the fact that Dedede had virtually no changes whatsoever in the many balance patches since the game's launch.[[/labelnote]]
173** Gordo [[labelnote:Explanation]]King Dedede's side special since ''Smash 4'', the Gordo, is effectively a {{Skill Gate Character|s}} in the form of a move; while at high levels Dedede players can turn the Gordo into an effective combo and kill tool, the move is more known for being spammed by anybody who's fresh to the penguin king, due to its high damage and kill power even when staled. This becomes problematic for low-skill Dededes considering that [[HoistByHisOwnPetard it's incredibly easy to return this incredibly strong projectile back to them just by hitting it]].[[/labelnote]]
174** King Dedede laughing [[labelnote:Explanation]]After pranking Donkey and Diddy Kong into thinking that King K. Rool was outside their house, the bulky penguin [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/369057918596808705/477491651468722196/ezgif-5-45b18349d2.gif starts jumping around and laughing]], looking a lot like the Joy emoji as he does so, which caught on as a reaction image. Due to Sakurai voicing Dedede, it's also become a visual shorthand for his streak as a TrollingCreator.[[/labelnote]]
175** Double Dedede[[labelnote:Explanation]]A well-known visual glitch in ''Melee'' where two Dededes will sometimes appear in the background of the Dream Land stage.[[/labelnote]]
176** King Dedede's crouch. [[labelnote:Explanation]]King Dedede has what is often named as the best taunt in the game… his crouching animation, in which he lays down in a very "[[{{Film/Titanic1997}} draw me like one of your French girls]]" fashion (since he has no legs to bend). Got even more hilarious in ''Ultimate'', because with online play's ban of taunts, he ended up the only guy still capable of taunting like a champ.[[/labelnote]]

182** "''What's the matter, scared?''"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A quote from Wolf's Side Taunt in ''Brawl'' that ''very'' quickly became a meme among Wolf players, and remains so even though Wolf lost the line when he made his return in Ultimate.[[/labelnote]]
183* [[VideoGame/AnimalCrossing Villager]]:
184** Psycho Villager/Killager [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Villager's constant smile and soulless eyes have made the fandom deem him CuteAndPsycho. It doesn't help that even his reveal trailer seems to hint that there's a mean streak behind the carefree face. His [[DissonantSerenity unsettlingly happy smile]] and gleam in his eye has been interpreted in [[MemeticMolester many]], [[MemeticBadass many]] [[AxCrazy horri]][[MemeticPsychopath fying]] [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/creepy-animal-crossing-villager ways]]. This has become an AscendedMeme with the announcement of Bayonetta as DLC, as her [[http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/053/845/8ef.jpg official art]], which depicts a battle between light and dark, has an axe-wielding Villager on the dark side.[[/labelnote]]
185** Dorpsbewoner [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Dutch translation of Villager has proven to be surprisingly popular with non-Dutch people. Especially after ''Ultimate'' introduced a Dutch announcer.[[/labelnote]]

189* [[VideoGame/PunchOut Little Mac]]:
190** "You ain't no air-fighter, Mac." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Taken from one of Doc Louis's quotes in Little Mac's introductory trailer, this is used to make fun of Little Mac's ineffectiveness at attacking in the air and inadequate recovery, or sometimes to point out the irony if he does manage to beat someone with an air attack.[[/labelnote]]
191*** "Is X an air-fighter?"/"X is/is not an air-fighter." [[labelnote:Explanation]]The original phrase is also snowcloned and semi-snowcloned for other characters.[[/labelnote]]
192** Little Mac jumping off the edge of Final Destination.[[labelnote:Explanation]]In ''4'', inexperienced players would often use Little Mac on For Glory mode. They would often accidentally use the Jolt Haymaker (Mac's side special) to leap off the edge of Final Destination, self-destructing in the process. ''Ultimate'' made it possible to recover from this grave error, however.[[/labelnote]]
193** Dicking on (Little) Mac. [[labelnote:Explanation]]WebVideo/{{Alpharad}} on Website/YouTube has had ''quite'' a good time messing with For Glory Little Macs, taking advantage of his awful recovery. Others have followed in his footsteps.[[/labelnote]]
194** Encompassing all of the above, "For Glory Little Mac" [[labelnote:Explanation]]During the early days of ''4'', Little Mac was seen as a potential GameBreaker, what with his impressive ground game and instakill gimmick in the Power Meter; but soon Little Mac fell out of popularity quickly thanks to his aforementioned weakness in the air and recovery that more often than not resulted in an SD. His previous legacy and status as a {{Skill Gate Character|s}} made it so that inexperienced players picked him over any other character... and with their inexperience the weaknesses of Little Mac were exacerbated, with these players being stereotyped as having SuicidalOverconfidence and a tendency to throw themselves off the stage with abandon.[[/labelnote]]
195** Following the above, "Dash Attack Does Not Work On Shield." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Typically how Little Mac dicking starts.[[/labelnote]]
196*** For Glory Mode in general, primarily 1 on 1. There are not enough fingers and/or toes to count how many memetic montages of the mode there are on [=YouTube=] with many players who are of too many varying skill levels pit against each other out of complete disrespect and contempt towards one another due to the horrible matchmaking system. As a result, you have players who have trained non-stop to be able to [[CurbStompBattle crap on others]] who [[{{Noob}} spam bad habits and/or plateau from such a bad learning environment]].
197* [[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY Greninja]]:
198** Numerous pics have been made joking about how Lucario and Greninja were [[http://38.media.tumblr.com/a82b9b6a54fa3736877b4c6f38475d0d/tumblr_n3qjvusIQX1r90e4wo1_500.jpg chosen over Mewtwo]] for ''Smash Bros. 4''.
199** Greninja fights with Mewtwo fans' tears.
200*** Most of this is now HilariousInHindsight ever since Mewtwo's reveal as a DLC character in ''Wii U/3DS''.
201** "Wait, [insert minor complaint here]!? Better {{nerf}} Greninja." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Similar to ''Memes/LeagueOfLegends'' and its "Better nerf Irelia" meme. There's a perception that Greninja has received nerfs in ''every patch since launch'' ([[DeadUnicornTrope he was only nerfed considerably in 1.0.4 and has actually only been buffed ever since]]), even though Greninja isn't out of line, while other characters remain stronger than him. It has since become a joke that whenever a huge bug is found, the patch that fixes it will include a nerf to Greninja thrown in for good measure.[[/labelnote]]
202** ◥θ┴θ◤ [[labelnote:Explanation]]An {{emoticon}} representing Greninja's face, used in many gameplay montages on [=YouTube=] and often spammed in message board and livestream chat whenever a skilled Greninja player is involved.[[/labelnote]]
203* [[UsefulNotes/{{Mii}} Mii Fighters]]:
204** Reggie Vs. Iwata[[labelnote:Explanation]]The reveal trailer for the Mii Fighters (which also marks the first official reveal of Toys/{{Amiibo}}) starts with a stylized battle between Reggie Fils-Aimé and the late Satoru Iwata. The two presidents of Nintendo duking it out was so ridiculously awesome that it took off extremely quickly. Notably, the timeframe in which this trailer dropped happened while the anime adaptation of ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders'' was airing in Japan, leading to some memes later on down the line referencing the final battle between Jotaro Kujo and Dio Brando.[[/labelnote]]
205** Making a Mii Fighter of anyone[[labelnote:Explanation]]The intended use of the Mii Fighter was that anyone who didn't get in for whatever reason (either due to legal issues, time constraints, or being based on non-video game characters or real people) can now join in the fight, made even more viable with the downloadable costumes churned out through ''3DS/Wii U'' and ''Ultimate's'' lifespans. Because the idea was to go nuts, people used the concept to create their dream inclusions, ranging from fantastical ([[Franchise/DragonBall Goku]], Manga/{{Naruto}}, [[Franchise/TheIncredibles Mr. Incredible]]) to memetically ridiculous (Franchise/{{Shrek}}, [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans]], Lonk).[[/labelnote]]
206** Mii impostors[[labelnote:Explanation]]During ''3DS/Wii U's'' run, several Mii Costumes were added as DownloadableContent as stand-ins for characters who didn't make it in such as Chrom or King K. Rool (and even characters already in the game such as Link, Samus, Fox and Captain Falcon). Because of the Mii's basic and often more cartoony face, many saw them as [[ReplacementScrappy ill-fitting replacements]] and either drew the Mii versions as mere avatars or, more commonly, creepy impostors of the characters in question. This carried over ''somewhat'' into ''Ultimate'', though far less often thanks to the characters' revised proportions and the [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans]] and VideoGame/{{Cuphead}} costumes being more detailed.[[/labelnote]]
207%% * [[VideoGame/KidIcarus Palutena]]:
208%% * [[VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising Dark Pit]]:
209* VideoGame/PacMan:
210** After his reveal, it became common among some Japanese Miiverse posters to have him conjure up various items; this soon led to him conjuring sprites of unconfirmed characters like Ness with the aforementioned "No, you'll get it today" subtitle (which in Japanese read more like a very casual "not really").
211** ''Smash 4'' Pac-Man's grab[[labelnote:Explanation]]Pac-Man's grab in the fourth game was infamously among the worst in the game, for being very slow, very laggy, and [[HitboxDissonance full of deadzones]] that often resulted in it [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/767497322619076698/915203130524827658/Pac_cant_grab_1_zpslaoz1qks.gif physically touching an enemy]] [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/767497322619076698/915203128213770270/Pac_cant_grab_2_zpsa2loycle.gif and failing to grab them]]. Some people would jokingly ask what move he's using if a Pac went for a grab as a joke about how infrequently it was seen; others, due to its comical uselessness, dubbed it his fourth taunt.[[/labelnote]]
212*** "Pac-Man's grab feels faster" [[labelnote:Explanation]]When each patch releases, PlaceboEffect runs rampant with many players misreporting false changes that they "feel" happened. The change most notoriously subjected to placebo is Pac-Man's grab, which players have begged to get buffed since day 1. Every patch had people claiming the grab was made faster, and sometimes serious debate occurred over what, if any changes happened, only for the hard data to come in showing the grab completely unchanged every time. So now when a new patch drops, or there is news of a patch coming, some of the first and most upvoted posts will be people claiming Pac-Man's grab "feels faster" to mock placebo-stricken players.[[/labelnote]]
213** Pac-Man mains have the highest IQ. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to [[CombinatorialExplosion the sheer amount of ridiculous setups and fancy kills Pac-Man players can use his Bonus Fruit and Fire Hydrant for]], they've gained a sort of MemeticBadass reputation due to how big their brain must have to be in order to use such a character. Inevitably, you'll see comments like this on any given Pac montage.[[/labelnote]]
214* From [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Robin and Lucina's]] reveal trailer, the "No, you'll get it today" (or more directly translated, "Not necessarily not") subtitle at the end became memetic around the Japanese fanbase, often used to mock other characters who didn't become playable.
215** Also, good luck mentioning Robin without someone mentioning tipping scales somewhere along the thread. This has sometimes been lumped together with the "Shulk time" meme mentioned below.
216** To a lesser extent, Lucina's "I challenge my fate!" line had become somewhat quotable around the fanbase, as it was in [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening her original game]].
217** Robin, the [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Avatar. Master of All Four Elements]].[[labelnote:Explanation]]In Palutena's codec about Robin, she starts out with "That's Robin — also known as the Avatar." Replace Nosferatu with Earth and give Robin a water bottle, and they've got the bases covered.[[/labelnote]]
218* [[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1 Shulk]]:
219** I hope you enjoy my good friend Shulk :)[[labelnote:Explanation]]The Gematsu leaker, who had previously gotten the majority of his predictions correct, positively said that Shulk would be revealed for an at-the-time upcoming announcement. The reveal in question then proceeded to turn out to be Robin and Lucina, which cast the credibility of the remainder of his leak into question. The phrase was then used to mock people who wanted/thought Shulk would be in, until ''he really '''did''' get in'', at which point the phrase was used triumphantly by Shulk fans.[[/labelnote]]
220** [[AscendedMeme Now it's Shulk time!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Based on the already memetic "Now it's Reyn time!" from [[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1 Shulk's game of origin]], this is the first line he recites after his official confirmation in his trailer. His ridiculously British accent does not help.[[/labelnote]]
221** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiofJ0_5Sb4 "I'm really feeling it!"]][[labelnote:Explanation]]When Shulk said "I'm really feeling it!" in his reveal, people thought the line was [[NarmCharm awkwardly hilarious]] and immediately made many jokes about it. The original Japanese quote is "Dandan nottekita yo!" (I'm getting the hang of this!)[[/labelnote]]
222** "Odayaka janai desu ne?" [[labelnote:Translation]]"Not being gentle, huh?"[[/labelnote]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] One of Shulk's Japanese lines that went memetic in the Japanese fanbase, used in place of his "Shulk time" taunt. In ''Xenoblade'' itself, it's the equivalent to "It looks like we don't have a choice!", meaning it was also his trailer title, possibly explaining its popularity, and it is often used to express SelfDeprecation in the disclaimers of fan videos, and as a general expression for ThisIsGoingToSuck or "This got ridiculous, didn't it?". Strangely, Shulk is still memetic in Japan despite his lack of an accent in the original.[[/labelnote]]
223** "This is the Monado's power!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another taunt from Shulk, generally used by people to describe [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome a great play]] or [[EpicFail fail]] on a Shulk player's part. Like his other taunts, made more amusing by his British accent. This is also the only taunt of his that is almost identical in meaning between English and Japanese, since in Japanese he says "Monado no chikara yo!" (Oh, power of the Monado! (as in "I call upon thee!")).[[/labelnote]]
224** Shulk is just a photoshopped Little Mac.[[labelnote:Explanation]]When the 4chan leaker posted a screenshot of the roster, its detractors claimed that Shulk's portrait appeared to be a Photoshopped Little Mac, [[http://www.ssbwiki.com/File:ESRBleak4.gif as their faces were turned at the exact same angle and their eyes were almost exactly the same]]. Now that Shulk has been revealed (and it turned out that the "photoshopped" portrait was real), pictures featuring Shulk are often sarcastically claimed to contain a "shopped Little Mac".[[/labelnote]]
225** "Back Slash!" "Air Slash!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The names of both Shulk's side and up special respectively (two of his original arts from his home game). Even though it's mainly for his British accent as mentioned in the above notes, a small number of circles tend to treat the names of such moves as [[DoubleEntendre naughty jokes]]… but it gets even worse with his "I'm really feeling it" quote up above, ''and'' the fact that he has a shirtless costume…[[/labelnote]]
226** '''MONADO BOY'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]In his reveal trailer, Shulk is called that by [[MechanicalMonster Metal Face]], an antagonist from ''Xenoblade Chronicles'' who sometimes refers to Shulk as this nickname in the original game. Likely due to the rather obscure status of the series (making this trailer the first contact with the character for a large number of players) and the silliness of the nickname pronounced by the [[LargeHam hammy]] Mechon, it subsequently became a popular way to call Shulk in the ''SSB'' community.[[/labelnote]]
227** Because of how similar their names are, a lot of fanarts of Shulk and ComicBook/SheHulk doing each other's job and/or in the other's outfit appeared.
228** Shulk's [[WalkingShirtlessScene swimsuit alternate costume]] immediately became really popular, a lot of people wishing to see all the other characters with a [[BeachEpisode "swimsuit mode"]] (in the same way people wanted to see everybody in the Zero Suit).
229%% [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Bowser Jr./Koopalings]]
230* The dog from VideoGame/DuckHunt is a [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure Stand user.]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to the dog's exaggerated pose when summoning a Wild Gunman, which wouldn't be out of place in ''[=JoJo=]''.[[/labelnote]]
231** The VideoGame/WiiFit Trainer is a Hamon Master.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The game explicitly says that she uses the PowerOfTheSun and special breathing techniques to empower her attacks.[[/labelnote]]
232* [[Franchise/StreetFighter Ryu]]:
233** "Talk is cheap." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Ryu's side taunt. Can be used as a counter-taunt to… well, taunt spammers.[[/labelnote]]
234** "My/Your range was one fist short."[[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Ryu's victory quotes. Used by a player whenever an attack is just out of range of hitting or getting hit by an opponent.[[/labelnote]]
235** Sakurai: "Capcom, could we put Ryu in ''Smash''?" Capcom: "Sure you can!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A wordplay on Shoryuken, a special move Ryu has.[[/labelnote]]
236* [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cloud]]:
237** GENKAI WO KOERU[[labelnote:Explanation]]Translates to "Exceed the limit", this is what Cloud says when he triggers Limit Break via charging. The move only uses this line without any variation, and guess how frequently this comes out.[[/labelnote]]
238** [[CrossesTheLineTwice Winning won't bring]] [[spoiler:[[CrossesTheLineTwice Aerith]]]] [[CrossesTheLineTwice back]]
239** Up B out of Shield
240* [[VideoGame/FireEmblemFates Corrin]]:
241** Big brother is now big sister![[labelnote:Explanation]]Sakura, Corrin's younger sister from Hoshido, says this upon seeing female Corrin. The [[NarmCharm awkwardness]] of this line quickly caught on in both the Japanese and English fanbase, and in the former has become associated with Female Corrin in general.[[/labelnote]]
242** [[GenderBender WOW, EVEN BETTER!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Elise, Corrin's younger sister from Nohr, replies with this statement of (surprising) glee.[[/labelnote]]
243** [[{{Pun}} Corn]] for ''Smash''! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Because Corrin's name looks and sounds similar to the word corn, people have begun photoshopping Corrin into [[http://41.media.tumblr.com/713e7c5a042d95c78b556b5984682079/tumblr_nzft64OqiE1s9tehdo1_1280.png corn]] [[https://40.media.tumblr.com/a0451fa938d44f2a16b924bad81fed33/tumblr_nzf9b4SYie1tsmga7o1_500.jpg related]] [[https://i.imgur.com/vZeiBxQ.png images.]] Corn is also a popular FanNickname for them, and Corrin and corn jokes are also often made in the fandom for ''Fates'' itself, which became even more appropriate when their Omega Yato's sprite resembled a cob of corn in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes''.[[/labelnote]]
244** [[UnexpectedCharacter Who the hell is Corrin?!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]A relatively common reaction to Corrin's reveal trailer, due to them being a very new character whose game hasn't even been released outside of Japan yet, leading to some serious confusion for those not familiar with ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates''.[[/labelnote]]
245** [[Anime/GurrenLagann GIGA DRILL BREAK!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Several of Corrin's attacks (namely their forward smash and side B) morphs their hand into a giant drill-like lance, leading to many Gurren Lagann jokes.[[/labelnote]]
246** Option A, Option B, Refuse to pick a side, [[TakeAThirdOption Join the battle in Smash]][[labelnote:Explanation]]From Corrin's announcement trailer.[[/labelnote]]
247** [[DullSurprise "Good!"]][[labelnote:Explanation]]One of female Corrin's victory lines where she literally just says "good" in an incredibly [[NarmCharm narmy]] and monotone way. Because of the sheer randomness of the line (it has no reference to ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates''), it's been subjected to plenty of jokes and mocking from fans.[[/labelnote]]
248** AFK Corrin [[labelnote:Explanation]]Originated from a video made by WebVideo/{{Alpharad}}, in which he makes Corrin stand idle, giving the impression of going absent and [[ShmuckBait luring the opponent to shoot a super-powerful attack]], then reflecting it with Corrin's [[ThatOneAttack tremendous counter]] for an instant [[OneHitKill One-Hit-KO]].[[/labelnote]]
249** There's a male Corrin?[[labelnote:Explanation]]Female Corrin is much more popular than Male Corrin in both online and competitive play, leading to jokes about how no one plays Male Corrin. Became HilariousInHindsight when Female Corrin became the default appearance of Corrin in certain later ''VideoGame/{{Fire Emblem|Warriors}}'' crossovers.[[/labelnote]]
250** Corrin's feet. [[labelnote:Explanation]] Much is made of how they're always barefoot.[[/labelnote]]
251* VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}:
252** Bayonetta's legs. [[labelnote:Explanation]]After Bayonetta's reveal, and the appearance of Kirby's Copy Ability from her, a lot of Tumblr fan-artists made fanart of the little pink puffball with Bayonetta's long legs — not all of it Safe for Work. This expanded into Kirby donning Zero Suit Samus' legs, Palutena's legs, and even Waluigi's legs, and would expand even further into other characters such as Ridley and Isabelle donning Bayonetta's legs as well.[[/labelnote]]
253** "I didn't know Creator/HideoKojima made it into Smash!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]After seeing Kirby's Copy Ability form with Bayonetta, many fans realized he looked ''[[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/ssb/images/b/bf/Kirby_Bayonetta.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160725195139 just like]]'' the famed ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' creator.[[/labelnote]]
254** "If you need to learn how to talk to a lady, ask [[YourMom your mum]]."[[labelnote:Explanation]]Bayonetta says this during one of her taunts, being taken from one of her taunts in ''Bayonetta 2''. Many fans have associated this line with her [[CrossesTheLineTwice taunting fighters who have]] {{Missing Mom}}s, especially Lucas, whose mother's death was a major source of TearJerker in [[VideoGame/{{Mother 3}} his home game]]. [[http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/075/882/c41.png Here's]] [[https://vine.co/v/iJHdwOtuq0q a few examples.]][[/labelnote]]
255** [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants AND THEN HERE COMES]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hqgitjace_g THE GIANT FIST!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Bayonetta's forward and up smash are giant fists, so some people used that ''[=SpongeBob=]'' clip to explain them.[[/labelnote]]
256** Also popular is claiming your opponent just got "[[BlackComedyRape Fisted]]" after killing them with Bayonetta's forward or up Smash. "You just got fisted!" or "Oops, guess I just fisted you!" and the like.
257** ''Smash 4'' Bayonetta[[labelnote:Explanation]]In a similar vein to ''Brawl'' Meta Knight, the Umbra Witch quickly became infamous upon release for her quick and varied attacks and zero-to-death aerial combos. Even after she was nerfed to require more skill to play, that still didn't stop top players from mastering her and steamrolling through tournaments with her skillset. Fears of a HistoryRepeats scenario sprung up after Bayo returned for ''Ultimate'' and, despite having been nerfed further since then, proceeded to nearly 4-stock the then-announced [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Ridley]], but Sakurai clearly paid attention to the match and heavily nerfed her to the ground, meaning Bayonetta's broken nature was exclusive to ''3DS/Wii U''.[[/labelnote]]
258*** $5.99 [[labelnote:explanation]]This stems from complaints about Bayonetta being overpowered, and potentially the best character in the game. Her DLC costs $5.99, so people use it to complain about the game being [[BribingYourWayToVictory pay-to-win]]. Similar complaints have been put out for Cloud and Ryu, although the latter two's DifficultButAwesome learning curve eases the pressure. '' Ultimate'' Joker is also considered in a similar scenario, although not quite as bad due to Joker's inability to kill without Arsene, being DifficultButAwesome, and there being multiple characters in the base game that can stand up to him.[[/labelnote]]
259* Announcer:
260** '''BOWSER!''' ...Junior? [[labelnote:Explanation]]The announcer in ''Smash 3DS/Wii U'' has a rather... strange... reaction to announcing Bowser Jr. — switching from his "strong" voice to a confused-sounding one.[[/labelnote]]
261** BAYONETTA?!?! [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the same way, the announcer says Bayonetta's name in the most confused, incredulous manner possible. Sometimes brought up when people wonder why she won the ballot.[[/labelnote]]
262** Greninja.../Gekkouga... [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the same way, the announcer says Greninja's name in a strangely ecstatic voice, which has become memetic in the Japanese fanbase.[[/labelnote]]
263[[/folder]]
264
265[[folder:Fan Videos]]
266* Anything from the three ''Brawl Taunts'' videos from Newgrounds... (but most people saw them on Website/YouTube).
267** [[MondegreenGag Show me your boobs!]]
268** [[HighTierScrappy I'm too cheap!]]
269** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8hvqTSCg-g YOU CAN HAVE... MY BIG GAY DANCE!]]
270** Why does no one pay attention to [[VideoGame/MarioIsMissing Weegee]]?!
271*** Now you know how Weegee feels!
272** Falcon PAWNCH! It's super effective!
273** Hey guys, you know what'd be awesome? In Brawl, if like, [[HilariousInHindsight they put in Cloud from]] VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII?
274*** You'll get no sympathy from me. I'm the only pretty boy in this game. [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch BITCH!]]
275** Kirbopher's RageBreakingPoint in ''One More Brawl Taunts''.
276** Brought to you by [[MondegreenGag Mr. Gay Man Watch]]! [[TakeThat As if Brawl tournaments aren't already big enough sausagefests!]]
277** The conclusion? [[ScrappyMechanic Gay tripping...IS GAY!]]
278** WHERE DID YOU GET THAT FRYING PAN?!
279** [[Manga/LuckyStar Here's how to make people go WTF at a Brawl tournament.]]
280*** Hey guys, let's have a free-for-all with items on! I brought my Wiimote!
281** Come back when ''you'' start [[HighTierScrappy getting banned in tournaments]].
282* Mixing normal moves with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svnayYpOko4 the]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaTb9FWXHp0 X-Rays]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpVQwVTYsto from]] the later ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' games. [[NightmareFuel Suddenly, certain moves just became quite disturbing.]]
283* From the sheer amount of Trailer Reveal Reaction Videos, when Bayonetta is revealed as the final character, it's shocking just how many reactions say the exact same thing ...
284-->''(Pit appears)'' "Kid Icarus?" ''(cut to panning shot)'' "Hades?" ''(cut to feminine voice)'' "Medusa?" ''(finally the reveal)'' "BAYONETTA?!"
285** Also, from Sakurai explaining her inclusion and starting with the fact she was the #1 voted choice in Europe, we get the phrase "Thank you, Europe!", sometimes with or without SarcasmMode.
286** The amount of reaction videos for ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'' netted a similar meme:
287-->''(a repeat of the [[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry K. Rool]] trailer appears)'' Wait, another character reveal? Is it another villain? ''(it cuts to DK, Diddy and K. Rool)'' Hang on, we've done this already. Is it a DK character? ''(a [[IconicItem Jiggy]] bounces through the scene)'' [[ShockingMoments IT'S BANJO!!!!!]]
288** And then ''another'' variation involving [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]]:
289-->''(everyone is about to get killed by Galeem again)'' World of Light again? ''(Galeem is cut in half)'' Oh shit, Galeem's in half! Is it a swordfighter? ''([[{{Leitmotif}} One-Winged Angel]] plays)'' '''''[[MassOhCrap SEPHIROTH?!?]]'''''
290* Suck 'n Cuck [[labelnote:Explanation]]While "Kirbycide" is popular enough on its own, [=YouTuber=] Weegee Plays popularized this name in his videos "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8N5n3DD5zo HOW TO KING DEDEDE]]" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rff28JVDtAw HOW TO KIRBY]]". The way it works is simple: lure the enemy near a ledge, inhale them (Suck), and [[TakingYouWithMe walk off the ledge (Cuck)]]. As of ''Ultimate'' and Weegee's video "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwblndkY8FM HOW TO KING K. ROOL]]", the Kremling Kommander has become an honorary recipient of the title due to his Blunderbuss being able to pull off a similar tactic.[[/labelnote]]
291* Who Can Cross _____?[[labelnote:Explanation]]Referring to a series of ''3DS/Wii U'' videos where the roster try to traverse a stage made in Stage Builder (usually over a LavaPit). These have become mocked amongst the casual ''Smash'' community thanks to their [[OnceAnEpisode repetitive nature]] (e.g. making fun of Little Mac's recovery, having a character make it through the level through very specific circumstances, etc.).[[/labelnote]]
292[[/folder]]
293
294[[folder:Forums (usually [=GameFAQs=])]]
295* At one point, there was always a new meme every day (mostly started by mentioning Wario and Dedede, or by misspelling a character's name, eg. [[{{Franchise/Pokemon}} Chairzard]], [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Snoic]], [[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 Noss]], or especially [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Metrod]], which also adds the "[[IAmNotShazam Samus is not Metroid]]" meme to the mix) on the [=GameFAQs=] board for Brawl.
296* "Why is Misty?" "She's a trophy"[[labelnote:Explanation]]The first quote was the title of a [=GameFAQs=] message board topic asking why there was a picture of Misty from ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' in the manual for ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. The topic quickly reached the limit of 500 posts thanks to a multitude of replies similar to the second quote.[[/labelnote]]
297* "Kirby Cheat?" "Furby Meat?" (etc.)[[labelnote:Explanation]]Another ''Melee''-related [=GameFAQs=] topic where someone asked for information on a "Kirby cheat", possibly referring to spamming Kirby's standard A attack to rack up a high combo in Training mode. After a number of replies like "Kirby cheat?" it mutated into other phrases that rhymed with it.[[/labelnote]]
298* Who would you is the original Smash Bros.?[[labelnote:Explanation]]The nonsensical title of a [=GameFAQs=] thread due to the lack of the word "think" between "you" and "is", and the inability to attribute "the original Smash Bros." to a character.[[/labelnote]]
299* "20xxbot, define tvtropes." "I'm sorry, I wasn't able to find that term in my database, most likely due to a misspelling, the desired term not coming right after "define", or the term not being in my database. The correct way to ask me for a definition is "20xxbot define [term]". If you'd like for the term you asked for to be added to my database, please message kirby_freak and he'll look into it! A list of terms that 20xxbot recognizes is listed here." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Redditor kirby_freak created a bot on the Super Smash Bros subreddit called 20xxbot, which would define advanced terminology when prompted. While its list of terminology is 21 pages long, it quickly became apparent that it wasn't long enough, and whenever somebody wanted a definition that wasn't in the bot's list, it would reply with the above message. This quickly became a copypasta on r/smashbros.[[/labelnote]]
300* Evidence.zip [[labelnote:Explanation]]In 2013, controversial player Leffen was temporarily banned from playing in European Smash tourneys after various fandom members and other players gathered evidence of his vitriolic online behavior in a .zip file named as such. He has since sought forgiveness for his actions, but the term "evidence.zip" is still used online whenever Leffen is fighting against somebody in Melee.[[/labelnote]]
301** "This is looking more like a bodybag.zip right now!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A line used during Leffen's infamous money match against [=Chillindude829=] (detailed in the "Competitive" section) referencing the file.[[/labelnote]]
302* [[Memes/TheSimpsons "Old Man Yells at Cloud"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Upon the announcement of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cloud Strife]] as a newcomer, several fans were confused or outraged at the reveal. Naturally, this meme circulated, sometimes with edits to include the actual Cloud or other popular newcomer choices like King K. Rool or Snake.[[/labelnote]]
303* "______ for Smash!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Became the rallying cry during the voting for the Smash Ballot., the most infamous candidates being John Cena, Goku, Shrek, and Cory in the House.[[/labelnote]]
304** Home Depot for ''Smash''[[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/27dogk/my_bad_sm4sh_dream/ci0336l/ A famous post on /r/smashbros]] where one user claimed they had a dream where Home Depot was a newcomer for ''3DS/Wii U''. It has since become one of the subreddit's favorite in-jokes.[[/labelnote]]
305* [[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/gfaqssb/images/1/1b/CorndogShulk.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20141110214421 Corndog Shulk]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Was on [=GameFAQs=] after someone claimed to have wanted to get a Shulk since Shulk would appear to have an awkward pose. Later someone mentioned how it reminded them of a corndog.[[/labelnote]]
306* YOU DON'T KNOW MEXICO SON THEY WILL BEAT YOU DOWN [[labelnote:Explanation]]Referring to Mexican Melee players Javi and Twin, ''Website/GameFAQs'' user yugioh_master insisted for years that they were the best players in the world and that Javi in particular could beat any of the strong American and European Melee players of the time, such as Mango or [=Mew2King=]. Years later, he would be vindicated as Javi played in his first international outing at Apex 2012, placing 4th. The commentators D1 and Prog shouted out this meme at the event.[[/labelnote]]
307* Congrats Memoryman / Michaeloll / the trolls actually did it! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Memoryman and Michaeloll were two infamous Daisy fans (of the [[LoonyFan loony variety]]) who often demanded Daisy be added to the game, pulling several ridiculous stunts in attempts to get her in the game. Come ''Ultimate'' and her getting in as an 'Echo' character, many on [=GameFAQs=] various reactions were either to congratulate them or exclaim in disbelief how trolls got her into the game.[[/labelnote]]
308* "Two spin dashes and a spring"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A [=GameFAQs=] user by the name of 7NATOR kept arguing against the idea of [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Shadow]] of being Sonic's Echo Fighter because he didn't want Shadow to only use Sonic's lame moveset, "two spin dashes and a spring". It became a short-lived in-joke there.[[/labelnote]]
309* "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Xtreme" Tournament[[labelnote:Explanation]]Someone posted [[http://www.reddit.com/r/SmashBrosUltimate/comments/ajozk3/this_was_a_rule_set_for_someones_smash/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x a flyer on Reddit]] (which also spread to Discord) for a casual ''Ultimate'' tournament, which got a lot of jokes at the tourney holder's expense due to the flyer seemingly having been made by a massive {{Scrub}}. Among other things, edgeguarding is banned, directional airdodging is banned, all Echo Fighters are banned (which includes several characters that aren't Echoes at all, like Dr. Mario, Pichu, Young Link, and Lucas), several moves are banned for being "unfair", up specials aren't allowed to be used onstage since they're "for recovering ONLY" (apparently Jigglypuff is chopped liver), and each player can only use 15 projectiles and 15 Smash attacks in a game. Between all that, the 8 am starting time, the repeated banning of things "Kyle" does (leading many to joke that Kyle is the one who posted the flyer on Reddit), the banning of talking during fights (no talking at a party?), and a rule about not complaining about the rules, the tourney flyer became widely-mocked.[[/labelnote]]
310[[/folder]]
311
312[[folder:Masahiro Sakurai]]
313* JAPAN TIME[[labelnote:Explanation]]Referring to Sakurai's daily blog at the Smash Bros. Dojo, leading up to the release of ''Brawl'', in which he'd detail new features of the game. Since it updated on Japanese mornings, this meant checking at unusual hours for it in more Western countries.[[/labelnote]]
314** '''Sakurai:''' [[{{Troll}} -laughs-]][[labelnote:Explanation]]And the counter-reaction. Comes from many interviews with Satoru Iwata in his "Iwata Asks" column, wherein every chuckle from anyone present is meticulously recorded as shown ad nauseum. One of these columns happened to involve an interview with Sakurai, popularizing the oddity.[[/labelnote]] King Dedede is also associated with this meme, since he laughs and is [[CreatorCameo voiced by Sakurai]]. Probably AscendedMeme status in ''Ultimate''[='=]s reveal trailer for K. Rool, where King Dedede fakes being the much requested character. Dedede then starts laughing madly until the real K. Rool shows up.
315* [[ScrappyMechanic *trips*]] '''[[SkywardScream SAKURAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!]]'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]''Brawl'' introduced a mechanic in which characters would randomly trip while running. [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/comic/61-olympics/ This was the reaction.]] It was later used as a means for those jokingly/seriously frustrated that their requested character isn't added, or a chatacter they might not care about is.[[/labelnote]]
316* Sakurai's hand movements in the Smash Direct attracted much attention, leading to videos like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&persist_app=1&v=6rxg4zWutWU this.]]
317* Mashpotato Samurai.[[labelnote:Explanation]]This comes from a Miiverse post that [[RougeAnglesOfSatin misspelled]] series creator Masahiro Sakurai's name as such.[[/labelnote]]
318** Anything that sounds vaguely like Masahiro Sakurai (e.g. Massive Hero Sack of Fries) also works.
319* Sakurai hates Chrom.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Every time Chrom appears, it's to make fun of him. This [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yCNTnfxhkU&list=UUfAPTv1LgeEWevG8X_6PUOQ video]] really hammers it in, with the Kid Icarus characters joking that Chrom's taking a nap, having Chrom himself say that Robin was a better choice than him, Viridi stating that he'd be a clone of Ike without the unique moves and a crestfallen Chrom realizing he's useless until the Final Smash. Now a DiscreditedMeme thanks to Chrom's inclusion in ''Ultimate'' as an [[MovesetClone Echo Fighter]].[[/labelnote]]
320* Sakurai Bias.[[labelnote:Explanation]]A complaint towards Sakurai's alleged favoritism or dislike of certain franchises determining the characters on the roster. Often cited as the reason ''Kid Icarus'' has three playable characters (as Sakurai directed ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising''), more than some long-established franchises that [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff have more popularity outside of Japan]] (e.g. ''Metroid''), but is often used to complain about any character choice or exclusion without any particular reasoning. More recently, it pops up to reference the fact that every single Kirby stage and character originates only from the games in the series that he personally directed, the Subspace Emissary primarily featuring ''Kirby'' characters as heroes, and the World of Light having Kirby as the only survivor of an attack that wiped out ''every other character''.[[/labelnote]]
321* Sakurai Magic.[[labelnote:Explanation]]When [=TheJWittz=] was shown Cloud Strife's character trailer, this was the explanation he was given as for how Cloud got into ''Smash'' (despite his subseries being generally Sony exclusive, and, despite being an iconic Platform/PlayStation mascot, he wasn't put in [[VideoGame/PlaystationAllStarsBattleRoyale Sony's own Mascot fighter]]).[[/labelnote]]
322* "Never ask me for anything ever again."[[labelnote:Explanation]]Comes from [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/075/515/fb9.jpg this comic]], which depicts Sakurai [[TakeThatAudience insulting Smash fans]] for their ridiculous Smash Ballot votes and disregarding them all, ending with this phrase. It popped up again during the December 2015 Direct, after some rather controversial choices. After ''Ultimate'' revealed it would have ''every character'' from all the prior ''Smash'' games, on top of adding in lots of highly-requested characters like Ridley, Chrom, King K. Rool, and Banjo & Kazooie, this meme saw resurgence, with many joking that Sakurai is just done with the fanbase as a whole and is giving them everything they want so that they stop bothering him. Ironically, the true winner of the Smash Ballot, Sora, ended up as the last DLC character, bringing the meme full circle.[[/labelnote]]
323* "You must recover!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Comes from [[http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/howto/basic/basic03.html this article]] from the ''Brawl'' DOJO site, which revolves around a launched character trying to get back onto the battlefield from afar.[[/labelnote]]
324* "It was binary!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]In the lead up to the reveal of Byleth from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'', Sakurai released a teaser picture with his index, middle, and ring fingers extended. Fans speculated what it meant, with some assuming Smash would be [[Memes/DevilMayCry featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series]], while others correctly guessed that it was a symbol for '''''Three''' Houses''. On the reveal, Sakurai stated that it '''was''' for ''Three Houses'', but the fingers didn't mean three, they meant ''seventeen''. Sakurai explained that ''Three Houses'' is the 17th game in that series, and proceeded to count up to 17 on his hand in binary.[[/labelnote]]
325** Sakurai flips you off.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Of course, when most people count in binary on their hands, they extend a finger for "on" (counted), and tuck it in for "off", which results in the unfortunate FlippingTheBird at 4. However, Sakurai did the opposite, retracting his fingers to show when a number ''is'' counted, which delays the middle finger until 27, meaning he could get through the sequence without leaving up his middle finger. ''However'', even with his system, the binary for 10 leaves the thumb, middle, and little fingers exposed. Because of the short extension of his finger, it still looks like he's flipping the viewer off... And at the end of the clip, he ''does'' count up to 31, meaning he does include 27 and thus flips the viewer off.[[/labelnote]]
326* "Smash is for good boys and girls!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the reveal trailer for Terry Bogard from the ''VideoGame/FatalFury'' & ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'' series, Sakurai had to explain why the series' leading heroine [[MsFanservice Mai Shiranui]] didn't even show up as a background character model. In the original Japanese, Sakurai made a joke about how her costume wouldn't make it past the Japanese ratings board (CERO). In the English translation, this was changed to explain that since Smash is "for good boys and girls", she couldn't make it in.[[/labelnote]]
327** "Mai Shiranui (or other fan-servicey character) ''isn't'' for good boys and girls."
328** "You clearly ought to get your priorities in order." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Sakurai's criticism of the CERO ratings board decisions for which costumes are too racy, based on turning the female characters' models upside down to check for the possibility of a PantyShot, and their prioritization of that over depictions of violence.[[/labelnote]]
329* Sakurai holding a diamond [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/515672034349416462/762030002581012500/SakuraiSword.png sword]] and [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/515672034349416462/762029998030716988/SakuraiPickaxe.png pickaxe]] from ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}''.[[labelnote:Explanation]]During the Steve presentation, Sakurai pulled out a toy Minecraft diamond sword that can shift to a pickaxe for the sake of explaining a bit about Steve's tools. The sheer {{Bathos}} that resulted from seeing the creator of Smash wielding a Minecraft toy quickly caught on in the Smash fanbase, with edits photoshopping him into several situations with those tools being very common.[[/labelnote]]

333* Pikachu + Ganondorf's moves = [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgzDPDxrtto Pikaman!]] (AKA Longchu and Ganonchu)[[labelnote:Explanation]]Based on a famous moveset-swapping hack for ''Brawl''. A video featuring the moveswap was featured shortly after the game came out. This would [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E80mRgMM7I4 not go unnoticed]] in ''Smash 4''.[[/labelnote]]
334* Brawl- Warlock Punch [[labelnote:Explanation]]''VideoGame/BrawlMinus'' is aimed to balance ''Brawl'' by making every single character completely overpowered. Ganondorf's neutral special, the Warlock Punch, was edited to do [[NumberOfTheBeast 666%]] damage and essentially be a one-hit-KO, as it cannot be teched out of, cannot be usefully redirected with SDI or DI, is very hard to roll out of, has too long of a hitbox to be spotdodged, cannot be perfect shielded, and cannot be countered, reflected, or interrupted in any way, as Ganondorf has super armor during the punch. The only way to dodge it, aside from [[RunOrDie getting the hell out of dodge]] (which isn't always possible), is to use super armor, which is only really viable as Bowser, or if you can exploit a frame-perfect double jump as Yoshi. It has been regarded as so egregiously bad that talking about it on the ''Brawl Minus'' forums will immediately start a {{flame war}} and will get you a Warning.[[/labelnote]]
335* Brawl- "lol Spring" combo [[labelnote:Explanation]]Discussion as to what changes should be made in the version 4.0 has landed the forum in a discussion about Sonic. Sonic can essentially get a guaranteed KO on almost every single character from extremely low percentages, most characters being able to be zero-to-death-ed with two moves. The combo consists of a down air off of a ledge immediately canceled by sending a spring out. It is impossible to dodge, as the player is still in hitstun and the move cannot be SDI'd toward the walls to be wallteched or tech walljumped, and even if the down air is meteor-cancelled, the spring will immediately spike the character downward instead, and the Sonic can recover with the spring. This has been regarded as an extremely cheap combo, with many calling for Sonic's nerfing.[[/labelnote]]
336* '''GO'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]Wario yells "Go!" when he uses his side special, Wario Bike. However, the meme is more associated with his side special from ''VideoGame/ProjectM'', the [[SignatureMove Shoulder Bash]], made famous by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IR0-o1bqaig a video]] from LetsPlay/{{Videogamedunkey}}. Because of its association with the Shoulder Bash, it is also used to refer to Wario's dash attack in ''Ultimate'', which was changed to resemble it.[[/labelnote]]

339[[folder:Audio-Based Memes]]
340* Some popular mishearings include "Hands off my bread!", "Too easy, pizza-cake!", "Falcon Thrust!", "Rape the targets!", "Three for all!", and "Landbastard!"
341** "Hands off my COCK!" / Falco's Down Taunt + Down Smash[[labelnote:Explanation]]a mishearing that stems from using Falco's down taunt ("Hands off my prey!"), then immediately interrupting it before he says "prey" with his down smash (which has him say something that sounds like "COCK!") Naturally, fans went wild with this discovery.[[/labelnote]]
342* I'll be the Marth, [[GagSub e.g. noob]]... [[labelnote:Explanation]]Misheard lyrics of Brawl's main theme as featured in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFjaoYZ7jlA a comedic combo video]].[[/labelnote]]
343** Alternatively, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aErK6R9QxTM All in the hall, hee hee Lou!]]

345** SHEEEEEIIIIKK!!!
346*** SHEEEEEEEEP!!!
347** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=213SvP0TdLk ...if I pee a tsunami?]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Captions featured in a now-deleted upload of Brawl's Final Destination theme.[[/labelnote]]
348* CORN [[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to the way Corrin's name is spelled and pronounced, many have started calling them this.[[/labelnote]]
349* [[CountryMatters Da Cunt]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]A FanNickname for VideoGame/DuckHunt, playing off the dog's reputation as a {{Troll}}. Is somewhat lost on the European version, where they're instead named "Duck Hunt Duo." An interview with Xander Mobus, the voice of the announcer for ''Wii U & 3DS'', confirms he tried to word his pronunciation ''very'' clearly to avoid this during recording, and that Nintendo had him do numerous takes before they got one they were satisfied with.[[/labelnote]]
350* Bear this [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Torchic]][[labelnote:Explanation]]A mishearing of the line "bear this torch against the cold of the night" in ''Ultimate'''s main theme Lifelight; some Twitter users, most notably LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}}, noticed this.[[/labelnote]]
351* [[https://youtu.be/40p3n187HD0 "BOW TO ME!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]A mishearing of Villager's Korean name (마을 주민, ''maeul jumin''), adding more fuel to the fire of his reputation as a MemeticPsychopath.[[/labelnote]]

355* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7C85UPINBbM Snake, do you know who that is?]]
356* [[VideoGame/TheLegendaryStarfy Stafy]], why did you even come here?![[labelnote:Explanation]]Possible shoot comment from the official website when [[http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/items/assist/assist13.html introducing]] Sta(r)fy as an assist trophy.[[/labelnote]]
357* "Heroes always arrive late."[[labelnote:Explanation]]This cryptic sentence ended the music update post for "Go K.K. Rider!" It's a paraphrase of a semi-common quote used in sentai series. The song is an homage to intros from tokusatsu shows such as ''Series/KamenRider''. Its obscurity led to quite a bit of confusion.[[/labelnote]]
358* "Mei Ling, Samus took her clothes off!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]When Snake does a special taunt with Zero Suit Samus as a focus, he seems shocked that Samus ditches her armor.[[/labelnote]]
359* There was going to be another meme here, but we cut it in favor of Environmental Noises.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Environmental Noises is a "music" track that is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. Some people see it as a completely useless music track and complain about other cool songs that could have been in the game instead.[[/labelnote]]
360* LANDMASTER![[labelnote:Explanation]]This meme originated shortly after ''Brawl'' came out in Japan; it was revealed that three characters (the ''Star Fox'' representatives) used the Landmaster as a Final Smash; more than any other Final Smash in the game. Fans now joke that any unknown Final Smash is going to be the Landmaster.[[/labelnote]]
361* When TV Tropes joins the battle, Alfonzo is in charge of the tropes. Alfonzo: "Leave it to me!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]One pic of the day revealed that in the 3DS version of the game, [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSpiritTracks Alfonzo drives the Spirit Train]] instead of Toon Link when the latter participates in a match. It got started as a meme the next week, when a pic of the day featured a Palutena statue and someone [[http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/713917-alfonzo-leave-it-to-me photoshopped Alfonzo in]] as a reference to a (later-proven-accurate) rumor making the rounds that Palutena was playable. Before long, Alfonzo was being [[https://31.media.tumblr.com/3fa87d6ed5416f0b875a094cc0d594d9/tumblr_n067ejyPf51toqguko2_500.png edited]] [[https://31.media.tumblr.com/013a6884ebb863c0272ccc3b59b1c29d/tumblr_n067ejyPf51toqguko3_500.jpg into]] pictures to replace [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/895/028/cd9.jpg other characters]], and it [[https://24.media.tumblr.com/830caaa2252b7fe6a9cd810283fcc890/tumblr_n067ejyPf51toqguko4_500.jpg eventually]] [[http://i.imgur.com/qvlnQSt.png mutated]] further.[[/labelnote]]
362* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz96eSYdFvc BANNED!]]''[[labelnote:Explanation]]Smash Bros. commentator D1 reacted to the sizzle reel of stages in the Smash Direct by proclaiming that most of the stages would get banned. And that Jungle Japes is banned already.[[/labelnote]]
363* [[http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/f2/87/b5/f287b5c92b50ba9e4948cbfa59384cf7.jpg Photorealistic Substitute Doll]][[labelnote:Explanation]]The [[{{Franchise/Pokemon}} Substitute]] doll for Greninja is ''incredibly detailed'', despite only being seen for a few seconds at a time.[[/labelnote]]
364* ''[[WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph They invited Pac-Man?!]]'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]With Pac-Man's inclusion in Smash Bros, this particular line from ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'' (where Pac-Man was invited to the 30th anniversary of the ''Fix-It Felix Jr.'' game instead of Ralph) becomes fairly appropriate. There's even gifs where Ralph is photoshopped with Captain Falcon's helmet or Ness' head.[[/labelnote]]
365* Mario's stars-and-stripes ''NES Open Tournament Golf'' costume has already earned nicknames like [[PatrioticFervor "Uncle Mario" and "America Mario"]]. Many jokes like [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BsLH1LFCIAEBU45.png:large this one]] are popping up.
366* Ridley is too big[[labelnote:Explanation]]Ridley had been a popular request since his somewhat misleading appearance in the opening of ''Melee'' shown at E3 2001, and the demand only grew with each passing game. However, many considered his gargantuan size to make him too impractical to ever be a fighter while staying true to his character (not helped by Sakurai himself acknowledging it in an interview), spawning the infamous and memetic phrase that led to [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DfsPDyvUwAEJLZl.jpg many images]] [[https://i.imgur.com/fNrvHva.png like these]]. For years it became impossible to mention Ridley in the context of Smash without some mention of his size... making it a ''major'' HilariousInHindsight following his reveal as a playable fighter alongside ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' at E3 2018. And his tagline when it finally happened? ''[[AscendedMeme "RIDLEY HITS THE BIG TIME!"]]''.[[/labelnote]]
367* "I suppose I'll get my chance... another day..." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Chrom's statement in the reveal trailer for Lucina and Robin, who were both confirmed while he was simultaneously disconfirmed. The statement's been used to refer to other characters that were looking less likely to appear, such as [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Ridley]] and [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Mewtwo]].[[/labelnote]]
368** "I did get my chance another day!"/Chromgratulations! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Chrom then gets playable in ''Ultimate'', as an Echo Fighter, but it's still an improvement, and also fulfilling his hope from above.[[/labelnote]]
369* [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed Yes, you can play as a female Robin.]] [[TakeThat No, it didn't double our work load to make that character]] @Creator/{{Ubisoft}}. [[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://twitter.com/Reggie_NOA/status/488694239057149953 A parody Twitter account]] threw shade at Ubisoft for not including female characters in ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedUnity'' because they were too hard and time-consuming, compared to ''Smash'' having both male and female models for the same character.[[/labelnote]]
370* [[VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising "I told you, Pit. It's Super Bash Sisters."]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]What Palutena misremembered ''Super Smash Bros.'' as in ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'', it's gained use due to the high number of female characters in ''Smash 3DS/Wii U'' — including Palutena herself. ''Ultimate'' increases the female character count even further.[[/labelnote]]
371* FEET CONFIRMED FOR SMASH! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Tying in with the [[Memes/FireEmblem meme]] of none of the 3D character models in ''Awakening'' having feet, fans were delighted and tickled when they saw that Lucina, Robin and Chrom's Smash models did.[[/labelnote]]
372* "Settle it in ''Smash''!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The [[NoIndoorVoice empathically-declared]] {{slogan}} used in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0G9-DwU2fI English]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKEsviMNOLI commercials]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4SalDG__nY for]] ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', being Nintendo's primary method suggested regarding [[DuelsDecideEverything the resolution of disagreements]].[[/labelnote]]
373* [[Music/TheTurtles So happy]] [[SoundtrackDissonance together...]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]''Everything'' from the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K783SDTBKmg original English commerical]] for the Nintendo 64 game has become memetic in some way or another. From the sheer ridiculousness of the concept to the dissonant yet somehow fitting choice of music to ''Creator/DonLaFontaine'' as the narrator, it's widely considered to be one of the best — and funniest — commercials that Nintendo has ever produced.[[/labelnote]]
374* LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}} wrote these descriptions.[[labelnote:Explanation]]A few of the new trophy descriptions are rife with puns, including those for Eggplant Pit and Fly Guy. Some fans of the games linked them to Chuggaaconroy's tendency to spout awful puns himself.[[/labelnote]]
375* The "50 Facts" Direct for the Wii U version has become a FountainOfMemes in itself thanks to the amazingly theatrical ([[YoungerThanTheyLook and surprisingly young]]) Creator/XanderMobus, its LargeHamAnnouncer:
376** '''''BUTTONS!!!''''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Xander Mobus as the Announcer [[LargeHam goes to town with the ham]], noticeably making even mundane things such as the return of button configuration [[MundaneMadeAwesome sound exciting]].[[/labelnote]]
377** '''''A MICROPHONE!''''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Announcer states this triumphantly when describing the game's voice chat features, pointing out the Wii U Gamepad's built-in microphone.[[/labelnote]]
378** '''''IT'S NOT EVEN COMPARABLE!'''''[[labelnote:Explanation]]Stated by the announcer when comparing the amount of songs in the Wii U version to the amount of songs in the 3DS version.[[/labelnote]]
379** '''''BOY, IS IT SWEET TO LINE 'EM UP LIKE THIS!'''''[[labelnote:Explanation]]Stated after talking about the amiibo functionality, making very little sense in context. Expect this to be said whenever any set of things are lined up.[[/labelnote]]
380* Please secure your wrist strap to safely contain hype. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Common in any hype-worthy situation, mostly in the ''VideoGame/ProjectM'' community.[[/labelnote]]
381* Naming characters in Smash Bros. [[labelnote:Explanation]]There are a few videos and images of people getting other people (usually those who are [[PopCultureIsolation not gamers or are unfamiliar with Nintendo games]]) to name various characters that appear in the Smash Bros. games. A few like Mario, Donkey Kong, Pikachu and Pac-Man are recognizable enough to get named correctly, but others are less lucky and get more [[AccidentalMisnaming amusing monikers]]. A short list of examples: Mega Man is "[[Anime/AstroBoy Astro Boy]]", Rosalina is "[[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Elsa]]", Kirby is "Ghost Peach", Fox [=McCloud=] is "[[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014 Rocket Raccoon]]", Pit is [[ViewerGenderConfusion Princess Angel]], etc.. A particularly amusing example is in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lewNCk7OjxU StephenVlog's video.]] When Ness rolls around, the parents somehow call him both "[[VideoGame/EarthBoundBeginnings Ninten]]" and "[[VideoGame/Mother3 Lucas]]".[[/labelnote]]
382* Who I mained, What I expected, What I got. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Many fans have been posting charts labelled like this. The first panel shows the character they played as; the second panel shows their expectations for the character (usually wimpy or childish); and the third panel shows their reaction after playing, generally being rejoiceful or satirical. [[http://41.media.tumblr.com/b18c3d79b508b9e83149350d1495d98f/tumblr_nio5sinRjy1rruwv7o1_500.png Here's an example.]] Many of these can be found on Website/KnowYourMeme and Website/{{Tumblr}}.[[/labelnote]]
383* Just because you try hard, doesn't mean you'll make it into battle.
384* Bowser broke the stream.[[labelnote:Explanation]]In the Super Smash Bros. Brawl Grand Finals of Super Smash Con 2015, ESAM was down 2-0 against [=Mew2King's=] [[GameBreaker Meta Knight]]. Since his Pikachu and Samus got him nowhere, he decided to roll the dice and go in with Bowser. At first ESAM was actually giving [=Mew2King=] a run for his money, but then he tried to grab the ledge with the Bowser Bomb similar to Yoshi and SD'd. At the same time, [=VGBootCamp's=] stream went down, spawning a joke about how Bowser broke the stream by crashing into the bottom of the pit.[[/labelnote]]
385* Super Fire Emblem Bros. [[labelnote:Explanation]]With the announcement of Corrin bringing the number of playable ''Fire Emblem'' characters to 6, people have joked that ''Super Smash Bros.'' is now becoming a ''Fire Emblem'' fighting game (sometimes including some ''Mario'' characters, simultaneously lampooning that series' prevalence in the roster as well). This meme only grew more popular after Byleth was revealed, bringing the number of characters to 8 (including [[MovesetClone Lucina and Chrom]]).[[/labelnote]]
386** [=EmblemBoards=][[labelnote:Explanation]]On AprilFoolsDay 2016, popular fansite Website/SmashBoards changed its name to "[=EmblemBoards=]". This also resulted in every user having their profile pictures and character mains changed to characters relating to the ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' franchise. Tier lists on that day would focus on waifus and husbandos from said franchise.[[/labelnote]]
387* Super Slash Relatively Realistically Proportioned Humans (or alternatively, just Super Slash Bros). [[labelnote:Explanation]]As of Pyra and Mythra, there are 23 characters that carry swords in ''Ultimate'' (out of 88, counting Echo Fighters), and only 5 (Ganondorf, Meta Knight, Toon Link, Mii Swordfighter, and Steve) lack an anime-inspired facial design. This has become a point of ridicule. For the shorter nickname, it also factors in just how many of these sword users are popular with [[{{Pun}} slash]] [[YaoiFangirl shippers]].[[/labelnote]]
388** Not another anime sword-fighter character! [[labelnote:Explanation]]"Anime Swordsman" is the typical term used when complaining about said characters, especially the ''Fire Emblem'' characters, Cloud, and Shulk. As such, it's become a reoccurring joke among ''Smash'' fans that whenever ''any'' new character is announced, even if they have no sword (or even any weapon) at all, they'll snarkily be referred to as such anyway.[[/labelnote]]
389** Super Anime Swordsman Brothers [[labelnote:Explanation]]An offshoot of the above meme.[[/labelnote]]
390** Dragon Quest Hero is THE Anime Swordsman. [[labelnote:Explanation]]After backlash to the Dragon Quest Hero's reveal, many fans pointed out that Arusu, one of the Hero's skins, actually is the inspiration for the other anime-style swordsmen in the roster, preceding the rest. [[/labelnote]]
391** [[AscendedMeme "Too many swordsmen, are there?"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]A line from Sothis in the Byleth trailer after he gets his ass kicked by three of the prominent swordsmen in the game, referencing the meme as a whole. People latched onto it as another one of Sakurai's TrollingCreator moments.
392[[/labelnote]]
393* Such detail.[[labelnote:Explanation]]In the final broadcast, during the part showing off Cloud's alternate costume (the Advent Children) having a variation where the sleeve is gone, the English dub had an odd pause at that part and mentions that statement with such focus.[[/labelnote]]
394* Roll Glory. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A common nickname given to For Glory due to many of the less experienced players spamming dodges.[[/labelnote]]
395* "Oh would you look at the time!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]An off-shoot of "Shulk Time" (see above) has characters with a clock with the numbers replaced with whatever the catchphrase involving time is: For Robin it's "Tip the scales", for Lucina it's "change fate" and for Bayonetta it's "Witch" (as in Witch Time).[[/labelnote]]
396* Because I'm a big fan of Meow Meow Mario. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Nintendo demonstrated the Smash Ballot by voting for Cat Mario with this reason attached. Seeing as it's a pretty petty reason even by ''Smash'' fans' standards, it inevitably became memetic.[[/labelnote]]
397* Taunt to get bodied: True Combo [[labelnote:Explanation]]TemptingFate at its finest, many people (often in For Glory) will taunt when they are sure of their victory, only to get destroyed in short order.[[/labelnote]]
398* Nintendo Direct Mini? SMASH BROS SWITCH OR RIOT! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Fans that expect a Smash Bros. announcement in every Nintendo-related announcement, no matter how minor, have become a source of mockery due to the fact that they'll inevitably be disappointed after said announcement before writing unreasonably angry posts on various social media sites. However, this became a DiscreditedMeme after the March 2018 Direct teaser. [[/labelnote]]
399** SURPRISE [[labelnote:Explanation]]Many people were trying to tell hyped ''Smash'' fans that the next game wouldn't be revealed until E3 at the very least. The surprise teaser at the end of the 3/8/18 Direct ended up bringing a sweet, sweet CatharsisFactor to many of these fans.[[/labelnote]]
400* That's it? No ''Smash''? [[labelnote:Explanation]]A reaction (used both genuinely and mockingly) that has become associated with ''Smash'' fans when any presentation is announced, even if it is definitively not a Nintendo presentation a ''Smash'' reveal would be in (like an Indie World) or even a Nintendo or video game-related presentation at all, like a Sony State of Play or a basketball conference.[[/labelnote]]
401* Target Test videos [[labelnote:Explanation]]Editing videos, usually either existing memes or scenes from other games entirely, to add the ''Melee'' HUD, Target Test music, and pictures of targets so it looks like the people or characters in the video are breaking the targets.[[/labelnote]]
402* Smash Bros. Cinematic Universe [[labelnote:Explanation]]The release of the ''[[Film/PokemonDetectivePikachu Detective Pikachu]]'' and ''Film/{{Sonic the Hedgehog|2020}}'' movies led to jokes that they were both the start of a Super Smash Bros. shared universe series of films much like ''Film/IronMan1'' and ''Film/{{The Incredible Hulk|2008}}'' started the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse in 2008.[[/labelnote]]

405-> '''Sakurai:''' Hello, everyone. It is I, Masahiro Sakurai. I am here today to tell you we have ended the meme poll early and tallied up the votes. The results were...disappointing, but not unexpected. You've all wasted your memes. We have disregarded all your meme examples and only have one more ''Smash'' meme planned. We look forward to bringing you Administrivia/RedLink sometime in winter. Never ask me for anything ever again.
