History Characters / WhatIfTheyWereInSmash31To40

* MakeMeWannaShout: A couple of his attacks involve his infamous jumpscare scream.

* GenderNeutralWriting: The Knight is continually referred to with the pronoun "they" due to their nature.

* GenderNeutralWriting: [=NiGHTS=] is a genderless being, and though they're sometimes referred to with male pronouns, Dani chooses to call [=NiGHTS=] a "they" instead of a "he".

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: The entire Agumon line is based on theropods, with Agumon itself being a tiny Tyrannosaurus Rex and Greymon and up being based on the Ceratosaurus.
** DinosaursAreDragons: And they can breathe fire.

* LightningBruiser: Sora is below-average in weight, but quick and acrobatic with a ton of combo potential. However, the moveset that made it into ''Smash'' is based off of Sora's ''KH1'' moveset, being a floaty GlassCannon that works best in the air.

* OddlyShapedSword: The Keyblade is...well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a blade that's shaped like a key]]. Despite it looking more like a blunt weapon, it ''does'' function as a sword to some extent. Sora specifically uses the starting Kingdom Key.

* RedBaron: Sora's is Junior Hero while Roxas is Number XIII [[note]]When Sora made it into the roster proper, his became [[TheChosenOne Chosen by the Keyblade]][[/note]]

* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: [=NiGHTS=] is ''absolutely pathetic'' on the ground, with weak and often slow attacks that fail to really hit their mark and being described as a reverse Little Mac. This is to reflect the Visitors' helpless nature in their home game, since that's the only time that [=NiGHTS=] is technically on the ground. The Nightmaren does ''much'' better [[HighAltitudeBattle in the air]], having a whopping ''seven jumps'' and the ability to float like Peach or Daisy after every single one, as well better air attacks plus a unique selection of attacks that they can use while floating, with ''those'' attacks getting their own semi-smash variations that have them transform with the Persona Masks. The regular up and down aerials also send them in their respective directions, giving them a great deal more aerial mobility, and all of their throws can propel them into the air a little bit.

* RedBaron: NiGHTs is The Dream Delight and Reala's is 1st Level Nightmare

* RedBaron: His real name "♡♪!?"

* WaveMotionGun: Marx fires one of these from his mouth as his side special; it has a ''bunch'' of start and end lag, but is ''extremely'' powerful.

* CriticalHit: The Heavy's gimmick. All of his attacks have a 2% chance to deal double the damage if they hit, with the Buffalo Steak Sandvich increasing this to a 5% chance. If the BSS is eaten by anyone else, they ''also'' have a chance to crit until the effects wear off. The Killing Gloves of Boxing, Shotgun and uppercut also have a naturally higher chance to crit compared to other attacks.

* MakeMeWannaShout: A couple of his attacks involve his infamous jumpscare scream

The steadfast yet often gullible guardian of Angel Island and original rival of Sonic, Knuckles the Echidna was tasked with protecting the Master Emerald from all who would seek to use its powers. After an incident where Dr. Eggman tricked him into fighting Sonic so he could rebuild the Death Egg, Knuckles had since become a recurring ally of Sonic's and is willing to lend a hand whenever need be. Currently an Assist Trophy in ''Ultimate'' and a Mii Costume since ''Smash 4.''

** In ''Undertale'', Flowey needed seven human souls (or at least six with thousands of monster souls to substitute for one extra) in order to transform into their true form, Asriel. In ''Smash'', his down special allows them to [[YourSoulIsMine steal a soul from an opponent]], even if the opponent ''probably'' doesn't have a soul [[labelnote:like...]]Mega Man and [=ROB=][[/labelnote]] or if the opponent is any of the monster characters from ''Undertale''. Furthermore, having your soul taken from Flowey in ''Smash'' hardly is that much of a pain for the characters in question beyond having ten percent of health stolen to heal the FoulFlower, as they'll still continue fighting like nothing happened.
** Asriel's Barrier Break, their down special, has them unleash the soul power of a god to deal heavy shield damage to opponents before reverting back into Flowey, except he still has the six human souls on himself, and will turn back into Asriel with the next soul stealing down special.

* GruesomeGoat: Even though Asriel is back to being a goat prince instead of a conniving, creepy flower, he still has a ''few'' creepy attacks like spinning his head or enlarging his horns.

* WillfullyWeak: The InUniverse reason as to why Asriel is of equal power game-balance wise to his Flowey counterpart, much like Asriel back in his boss fight at the end of ''Undertale''

* LimitBreak: Sora's yet ''another'' one of those characters that has a ton of ideas for a Final Smash. A '''''lot''''' of ideas.[[note]]None of which made it in; Sora's actual Final Smash is sealing the Door to ''Super Smash Bros.'' with his opponents inside.[[/note]] [[UpToEleven Brace yourselves:]]

* FragileSpeedster: Agumon is fairly fast, but kind of weak and easy to launch. Koromon ends up becoming even ''[[UpToEleven more]]'' of one.

* FusionDance: If [=WarGreymon=] uses its Final Smash, it DNA digivolves with [[NobleWolf MetalGarurumon]] to form the Royal Knight [[KnightInShiningArmor Omnimon]], who proceeds to blast at its opponents with the [[{{BFG}} Supreme Cannon]] and slash at them with the [[{{BFS}} Transcendent Sword]].

--> '''[=MetalGreymon's=] Vaccine Design:''' ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' [Creator/FujiTV], 1999

--> '''Omnimon's Debut:''' ''Recap/DigimonAdventureMovieOurWarGame'', 2000

* Red Baron: Sora's is Junior Hero while Roxas is Number XIII

* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: Aside from the ManaMeter, Sora has ''two'' sets of special attacks that he switches out by holding the down special: the AP Stance based on his equippable skills, and the Magic Stance based on his spells. Simply pressing the button ''also'' gives Sora another special attack for each stance, giving him a total of eight special attacks. The official moveset has no such stance system.

* VirtualPet: What the ''Digimon'' franchise started out as; it was meant to be the SpearCounterpart to the ''VideoGame/{{Tamagotchi}}'' series, but went on to [[MorePopularSpinoff completely overshadow its predecessor]]. Agumon's own mechanics also stem from this origin.

* BlowYouAway: The up special for the Magic Stance has him use Aero to launch himself into the air, working similarly to the Hero's Woosh complete with three tiers that cost differing amounts of magic.

* AnIcePerson: Sora's neutral special for the Magic Stance has him fire Blizzaga, an icy SpreadShot that's more useful up close. It can be used up to three times, with each one getting stronger but costing one extra MP per use.

* BladeSpam: The AP Stance's side special is the Sonic Blade, which has Sora dart forward with the Keyblade and continuously use it at the cost of 1 MP. The official moveset has Sonic Blade as the ''only'' side special.

* ManaMeter: Sora, being a Square Enix character, has a segmented blue one based on the one he has in his series. It refills on its own, though slower the more magic Sora has, evidenced by the tiny orange meter above the blue part, though it's more easily charged by landing attacks. Unlike the normal variant of this trope, two of the smash attacks ''also'' benefit from Sora's magic.
* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: Aside from the ManaMeter, Sora has ''two'' sets of special attacks that he switches out by holding the down special: the AP Stance based on his equippable skills, and the Magic Stance based on his spells. Simply pressing the button ''also'' gives Sora another special attack for each stance, giving him a total of eight special attacks.

* PlayingWithFire: The Magic Stance's side special is Firaga, a quick fireball that, like Blizzaga, uses more MP if used three times in succession.

* ShockAndAwe: The Magic Stance's down special has him use Thundaga, summong two lightning bolts that strike the ground next to Sora, with only the ground part of the attack dealing knockback while the lightning itself just does damage. This one can ''also'' be used three times in succession for more MP.

* BladeSpam: The AP Stance's side special is the Sonic Blade, which has Sora dart forward with the Keyblade and continuously use it at the cost of 1 MP.

* CounterAttack: The AP Stance's down special has him take a stance, then use either Counter Slash if countering a physical move or Reflega if using it against a projectile.

* LightningBruiser: Sora is below-average in weight, but quick and acrobatic with a ton of combo potential.
* LimitBreak: Sora's yet ''another'' one of those characters that has a ton of ideas for a Final Smash. A '''''lot''''' of ideas. [[UpToEleven Brace yourselves:]]

Fittingly enough, his Echo Fighter comes in the form of Roxas, his own [[EmptyShell Nobody]] and a former member of Organization XIII that came into existence as a result of Sora's HeroicSacrifice in the first game.\\

** The last notable swap gives Agumon its ''Anime/DigimonSavers'' design complete with the red armbands, and its evolutions respectively resemble [=GeoGreymon=], [=RizeGreymon=], and [=ShineGreymon=] in color.
