History Trivia / Smite

* FanNickname: Here are a few:
** Hercules is, as in many other works of fiction, referred to as Herc.
** Bakasura is often called Baka (and yes, even in that [[UsefulNotes/{{Baka}} other way]]). Some also call his post-rework version to be [[Franchise/MortalKombat Barakasura]].
** Xbalanque is often called Xblanc or Xbal by some players, mostly because few know how to spell his name properly in the midst of battle.
** Pre-rework Ao Kuang was frequently referred to as "Noodle" by the fanbase. The nicknames for his replacement, Kukulkan, "Newdle"/"Nudle" didn't really catch on. Instead, they call him KKK. Alternatively, both him and Jormungandr are going to be called something using the word [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/snek "Snek"]] because they're both, well, snakes.
** Post rework Guan Yu is [[{{Pun}} Guan Nu]].
** Similarly, post rework Nu Wa is Nu Nu Wa or New Wa. This ends up as an AscendedMeme as the Retro skin of hers is officially named 'Old Wa'.
** Sun Wukong's eagle transformation, often used for narrowly escaping risky situations, is the Bird of Nope.
** Reworked Odin's main combo is called the Bird Bomb, due to A) requiring his raven shield and B) doing insane amounts of early game damage.
** "Goobis" for Anubis...particularly if [[GlassCannon he's bad at it.]]
** "The Joustfather" for a Bacchus played in joust, due to a combinations of [[StoneWall normal guardian defences]], surprisingly high damage, and the ability to tower dive almost constantly making him viable.
** Crossing with with PunnyName and inverting it, fans like to elongate Chaac's name further into... [[Creator/ChuckNorris Chaac Norris]]. Similarly to this one, Guan Yu for some reason is referred as [[Wrestling/JohnCena Guan Cena]]
** Much like her ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}'' counterpart, there's a lot of people who refer to Amaterasu as simply "Ammy".
** Instead of Bellona, Bellogna. Like bologna.
** Susano'o is often jokingly called [[GenderBlenderName Susan]]....much like [[VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends another MOBA character]].
** Isis is the "Goddess of Demonetization", because [=YouTube=] videos will be automatically demonetized for having her name in its title due to it being spelled the same as a commonly-used acronym for [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_State_of_Iraq_and_the_Levant an infamous militant terrorist group]]. In fact this has prompted the developer team to [[RenamedtoAvoidAssociation change her in-game name to “Eset,”]] one of the many ways to transliterate her ancient Egyptian name, to prevent this tendency.

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Bastet's Night Prowler skin was taken down after Warner Bros. threatened legal action due to its similarity to ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}. Similarly, Creator/{{NetherRealm Studios}} filed a C&D over Ravana's Eliminator skin, causing it to be removed from the game with the patch that introduced Artio.

** Gilgamesh (upcoming)

** The four voice actresses for [[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} Team RWBY]] all returned to lend their voices to the girls.

** A meta example: Aang and Zuko aren't voiced by their original voice actors from ''Franchise/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', Creator/ZachTylerEisen and Creator/DanteBasco, the former having long since abandoned voice acting (and hit puberty). They were replaced by Jaxson [=McBride=] and an unknown voice actor, respectively.

** After Creator/ScottFreeman was arrested for possession of child porn, [[Creator/{{Lanipat}} Nick Landis]] took over for future Thanatos skins.

* AllStarCast: The voice actors of Smite wouldn't look out of place in a Funimation dub. And even better? ''They brought in Creator/KevinSorbo to voice Retro Hercules''.

* NamesTheSame: When Sol was first datamined, fans were confused over if this referred to either the Roman god or the Norse goddess. Oddly enough, the latter (who the datamining was referring to) has a more unique name: Sunna.[[note]]Granted, Wiki/TheOtherWiki states that this is Germanic in origin, but it's still said to have been a synonym in Norse.[[/note]]

* NoDubForYou: Just like with ''VideoGame/QuantumBreak'', the Steam version of the game doesn't have dubs in other languages besides the original English. This is especially relevant for the Spanish language version, since it was probably done to prevent a FlameWar between Latin American and Spaniard players. This was later subverted, as the Latin American Spanish dub was removed entirely for unexplained reasons and it's only now available as a DLC.

* TheOtherDarrin: Ao Kuang's old voice actor, Creator/KentWilliams, was replaced by Creator/KaijiTang during his rework.

** In the Brazilian dub, Athena had the same voice as her ''Anime/SaintSeiya'' counterpart.
** Sean Schemmel voices Son Wukong... The direct inspiration for [[Manga/DragonBall his most famous voice role]].

* CastingGag: Creator/KevinSorbo as Series/{{Hercules|TheLegendaryJourneys}}.

** When you say Pele, is it the Goddess of Volcanoes? Or is it the Brazilian soccer legend? (this one has a slightly different spelling: Pelé, but people are less likely to type that.)

** Both [[Creator/KiraBuckland 2B]] and [[Creator/KyleMcCarley 9S]] from VideoGame/NierAutomata have appeared; the former as Defiant Bellona and Dragonkin Skadi, and the latter as Playmaker Ne Zha.

** Cthulhu (upcoming)
