Just a thing I've noticed, with very few exceptions, purple is often a color associated with evil in Japan, especially when paired with black, and since Kazuya is considered one of the main villains of the Tekken series, this could be the designers at BandaiNamco further driving Kazuya's "I'm the bad guy" vibes home

The White alternate for Toon Link is actually a loose reference to the White Ring in the original Zelda game, as that was the color your tunic changed when the ring was equipped, and reduced damage by half.

[@jamesheatherly4209]

2:16:34 I think the reason why they changed the name for the U.S trailer is most likely because, Nintendo wanted to avoid the mention of assassins in an E10+ rated game, so the name could have been changed to keep in line with the ESRB rating.

[@koiyune]

sort of, but, it's actually because of an ESRB rule, in which, if a gaming presentation "refrences/promotes" a Mature game, then the presentation is considered Mature too, so they can't promote the game (if it's E for everyone? sorry, im not familliar with ESRB ratings, i am European.) So, the name of the game has to be censored so that the presentation is "E for Everyone/family friendly"

[@justelisan1766]

The dark purple color of Zelda seems more likely to be a reference to Impa rather than Vaati. That purple is the shade used for the Shadow Temple in Ocarina of Time whom Impa was the guardian of. Impa also had the same shade of silver hair. Impa also being Impa's guardian

Not gonna lie, Joker's is a bit iffy on what it's based on. Considering alt 3 is Persona 3, alt 4 is Persona 4, and alt 5 is Persona 5 colors, I always thought that alt 2 reminded me of 2's more maroon color scheme. (2 sorta has two color schemes, white and that weird maroon.) I never liked the idea that they reused the color red, because it honestly looks more like a maroon. I've seen a few people say that Joker's 8th alt is based on Akechi's casual clothes. I've always seen it as based on the summer outfit, but I can see Akechi too, especially since joker has an alt completely based on him.

Yeah, I personally say that his last alt is Akechi’s clothes. The summer blazer would’ve been more white

While Pyra and Mythra's Dark Costume could be referencing Poppi from the same game. But as what one of the Xeno franchise lore buff people, such as Luxin, said that it could be a reference to Weltall, which is a mech that is piloted by the main protagonist from Xenogears, Fei Fong Wong. With the following one next to it, the tricolored alt, is literally Xenogears itself, the super powerful mech that Fei gets around the end or final chapter of Xenogears. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has several aux cores, and costumes that references other Xeno games, such as two costumes to reference Xenogears itself, along with it having Kos-Mos and T-elos as a blade you can summon. 7th one is actually a reference to the Monado, and Nia. The Monado is because of the very much same color saturation, and Pyra's core crystal is blue, to match the usual blue light of the first symbol Monado shown to have in the middle, and the light it makes for it's blade. As for what I mean by the Nia one, it's a spoiler part of the game. Nia appearing as a usual Gormotti driver, but really underneath her clothes, is actually a blade. Not just any blade, but a flesh eater, which is part of what gives Nia her appearance at first, and allows her to be a driver. The colors very much match that of what Nia's blade form has. The final one is Lora and Jin. Because Torna the *Golden* Country, the name of the prequel game, with Lora's hair, and Jin's overall silver color outfit, and hair.

(Around 1:36:18) As far as I'm aware, Alex is never explicitly stated to be a Female Skin, however it would make sense as a counterpart to Steve who unintentionally became known as a Male Skin. Either way though the Design itself actually takes inspiration from one of the Minecraft Devs, Jeb, most noticably including his signature Ponytail. (as well the Skin in Minecraft itself has an Invisible Set of Pixels that when enabled gives Glasses to Alex which is another clear reference to Jeb's)

[@izanagiforsmite4365]

I would like to mention something really quick for pyra mythra, alt 6 while I agree that mythra is based off a gundam, Pyra is more likely based off the Master Driver Rex outfit he attains the same time Pneuma is introduced. As for alt 8 while they could be the metals as you said, they could also be based off Jin and Lora, two pretty important characters to the plot and the main driver and blade in the torna dlc. Of course this is just a very tiny gripe coming from a massive Xenoblade fan who begs to differ. Besides from that, you did an amazing job with all of this. 10/10

[@byronlyons3548]

Nah, Luxin covered this one, and it's Xenogears. Literally the mech called that, in the Xenogears game itself. It has the same balance of colors as it. Rex Master Driver lacks the color of Red anyways.

[@kaistephens2694]

Also, alt 4 may be based on Weltall from Xenogears. alt 5 is most definitely based on the Xenogears, the eponymous robot with the power of a god. alt 8 is probably based on the Zohar, an incredibly important device in the entire Xeno series.

I’m pretty sure the red, blue and pink Color’s for young link is a reference to the legend of Zelda four swords when link grabs the four sword which then makes clones based on his emotions.

[@angelinadash2396]

I love that nice little touch, the way each character's corresponding theme song plays in the background as Aaron explains their origin.

[@casoozh]

1:20:00 the yellow & pink piranahs are also very clearly referencing wario and waluigi as well

[@brandonperez8977]

1:49:22 this Kazuya's Suit was also seen in Tekken Tag Tournament 1 intros and his storyboard on Tekken 6 (including a few characters storyboards) 1:51:39 in Tekken 4 and Tekken 5 Jin's Gauntlets, foot gaurd and flame pants were white instead of red and on Tekken Tag Tournament 1 was blue in character select screen and Embu intro

[@yazan_q]

1:36:33 they should’ve made a herobrine skin Even if it’s just an eye difference pichu has a costume with only the ears being different

[@JJhulle]

Banjo's 4th color is based on Crash Bandicoot: Blue shorts are Crash's jeans and redish fur is he's original color in Crash 1.

[@gjgaming2133]

Absolutely not

[@JJhulle]

@@gjgaming2133 Well that's my only guess what that actually based on. I will be wrong but whatever.

[@JZJ7777]

@@JJhulle maybe check the Smash wiki. That has accurate origins for alternate costumes.

[@KeroKaminaX]

1:48:06 the "dark" skins and gundam skins are actually both a reference to Xenogears with the first and final mech that you get in that game

[@jellysquid8077]

DK's green color is a King of Swing reference. The Melee version is a dark green, while the modern version is more like the King of Swing reference

[@oneidawolf776]

I liked before I even watched, I always wanted to see an in depth video on this. It is one of the features of smash I find most interesting.

[@everestthefrencheevee661]

i like to think that the green and yellow skin for Richter is made to look like Maria Renard a friend of Richter and other playable character in rondo of blood

[@shinigamimiroku3723]

6:02 I should point out, as a fan of the Gundam series, that while there were one or two Gundams throughout the franchise sporting green as their primary color, the mass-produced suits that this suit would reference are the Zakus (and their future spinoffs, including the Leos of Wing), which are used by the Principality of Zeon, the enemies of the Federation. Makes me wonder if there was something else that color scheme was meant to reference instead...

[@Antonio-is2cn]

Perhaps the Metroids? They are usually depicted with green and a little bit of red or it could reference one of the colors that flashes on Samus on the ending cutscene of the first Metroid game!

[@VOAN]

Interestingly Shantae's first game was published by Capcom so it make sense that she appeared in the Capcom wave of DLC Mii costumes.

[@WaveAqualei]

Bayo’s Orange Alt is a Reference to Loki, the child that she helps in Bayo 2, and the White Alt is either a reference to her Nun outfit or her Pure Platinum Trophies.

[@KaitouKaiju]

White is probably a reference to Jeanne's witch costume

[@WaveAqualei]

@@KaitouKaiju Jeanne got an alt with was the red one with blue guns

[@eW-relever-semordnilap]

1:23:37 I always assumed that it was based off of Goro Akechi’s civilian appearance

[@leohernandez8751]

It would’ve made the reference more obvious if it WAS just Joker’s Summer Shujin uniform as an alternate costume instead of just a white version of the uniform. Although Joker also could’ve had costumes for his phantom thief outfits with them being references to Ryuji and Yusuke as Skull and Fox respectively and one referencing the Velvet Room properly giving Joker white hair and yellow eyes with a dark blue mask.

[@anankos795]

I know that plenty of people have already said it, but I feel like the general reception towards the Geno Mii Gunner Costume would have been much more positive if the hat/headwear was completely modeled to have both Geno's head and his hat similar to Sans and Cuphead. Why this wasn't done isn't known, but if anything, I'm willing to bet that copyright issues were involved.

[@RikenzuPlays]

Bowsers muted color scheme with the pink hair is actually a callback to his older color scheme in one of the GBA games

[@alexsheperd2060]

So I think the two changed Robin alts got changed to match three houses since it was announced the same year as Ultimate’s release. Only reason I could see changing the hair from red to a lighter color and from yellow to brown

[@RTB-x2f]

I've always been confused as to why the Link in SSBU is from BOTW, but Zelda is the version from ALttP...

[@leohernandez8751]

I guess the Smash team wanted to represent different aspects of the Zelda series with its characters instead of from one title. That’s why we got Link from BOTW, Zelda from ALttP, Ganondorf, Young Link and Shiek from Ocarina of Time and Toon Link from Wind Waker.

[@loganlexow2414]

13:21 Ness's third costume is not based on baseball it's based on bumble bees prove me wrong

[@StarLeo_]

I find it funny how all of these are reference to their own games, maybe series. And then incineroar is just R E Y M Y S T E R I O

[@crabbydragon9808]

Tid bit of info, Chrom’s last color alt is loosely based on his dark alternate from a dlc in Japan

[@sunniestglobe5717]

I want to make a correction for Lucina's 3rd alt, her third alt actually represents Selena which is Severa's is in Fire Emblem Fates because Cherche doesn't have red hair she has pink hair if you look at Cherche's artwork and model

[@sunniestglobe5717]

@@jennyg9131 Not all actually because I think it's represents Selena than Cherche because it looks a bit more red than pick when you look closely

The intentional Sephiroth butchering then correctly saying it was amazing.

I’m REALLY sure that Falco’s light blue and green outfit is supposed to reference Fox’s outfit in Star Fox Adventures

[@Wagram92]

51:04 : Green Lucario is actually the shiny Lucario from the original game. Otherwise keep up the good work !

[@casuallyalive7544]

'his moveset would be too complicated to implement well for a game like smash' kazuya: *laughs in irony*

[@keeganlafferty1395]

you know, for Link they could've used the ACTUAL model for the Fierce Deity alt instead of recoloring the Tunic Of The Wild alt, as a matter of fact I would've preferred it if the Tunic Of The Wild alts were ALL the models they are based after: the Fierce Deity color should've been the actual Fierce Deity armor from BOTW, the darker color should've been the actual Twilight Princess Hero's Tunic, and the Dark Link alt should've been the actual Dark Link set from BOTW

[@peanutbutter6720]

That’d be really cool for the Zelda cast seeing how often their designs differ per game compared to the other series reps. It’s a missed opportunity to not allow the hero of time fight alongside the heroes of twilight and the wild.

[@Starrrycandy]

@@peanutbutter6720 we were fucking robbed from the potential

[@KaitouKaiju]

Then they'd have different models that wouldn't match up with collision

[@keeganlafferty1395]

Daisy's white dress is the Old Mario Movie reference. You can spot the pinkish on the bottom.

[@KINFIN123]

Just gonna throw this out. Onette is pronounced Won-ette because the towns in Earthbound are named after numbers and seasons. Onette, Twoson, Threed, Fourside.

[@JZJ7777]

Whoa. Now I know I’ve been pronouncing it wrong this entire time.

[@dementedgastly5050]

This is an incredibly late comment that probably won't be seen ever. However I think that Pit's blonde hair skin is supposed to look like Phosphora from Kid Icarus Uprising and Dark Pit's ult with the red clothes, yellow scarf, and purple halo is supposed to look like Viridi.

8:41 I can't wait until Yoshi's Crafted World comes out in 2019! Also Steamboat Willie isn't the first Mickey Mouse cartoon, the first's Plane Crazy

[@camelkingclarith]

The Mass-Production Samus outfit is a reference to the MS-06 Zaku II, which is a mobile suit utilized by the Principality of Zeon, but is not a Gundam; Gundams are an entirely separate line of mobile suits. This is a nitpick that only matters to fans of Gundam's UC continuity, but i feel like it should be mentioned.

[@alexanderstottlemyre3679]

bowser's green pallet swap may also draw some inspiration from king koopa from the super Mario super show
