‘Viridi’:”You stole one of my Reset Bombs!?”
K. Rool:”The Brambles made for lovely fortifications, my dear.”

Terry:"Y'know, I'm surprised you didn't invite Rugal into your lil' League of Villains."
Ganondorf:"The Subspace Legion has no need for a sadistic madman with delusions of godhood."
Terry:"Yeah, that's YOUR job."
[Rugal Bernstein is a boss in the King of Fighters series and is infamous for his cruelty, god complex, and ridiculous difficulty level.]
Smash Intros: Ryu VS Little Mac

Ryu:”The WVBA allows boxers to use WEAPONS!?”
Little Mac:”And magic, power boost sodas, and squirrels. It’s crazy!”
Ryu:”It’s disgraceful, is what it is.”
[This is a reference to the various tricks, cheats, and gimmicks all the Punch-Out boxers use in the Wii game. As a traditional martial artist with a strong sense of fair play, Ryu would likely frown on such practices.]
Smash Intros: Captain Falcon VS Ness
Inspired by “If Smash Bros Had Intros Like Mortal Kombat” by Mister BlackJack
Captain Falcon:”Bet you’ve seen your share of scary monsters and super creeps.”
Ness:”Starmen, diamond dogs, and all kinds of space oddities.”
Captain Falcon:”Sounds like you’re really under pressure, kiddo.”
[Earthbound has enemies called Starmen and a boss called the Diamond Dog, both of which get their names from David Bowie songs. I crammed in a few more Bowie references while I was at it.]
Smash Intros: Daisy VS Dark Pit
Inspired by “If Smash Bros Had Intros Like Mortal Kombat” by Mister BlackJack
Daisy:”Hi, I’m Daisy!”
Dark Pit:”I don’t care.”

Roy:”So, where do Gauntlets fit on the Weapon Triangle?”
Byleth:”Weapon Triangle? What’s that?”
Roy:”Ummmm...I’ll tell you later.”
Smash Intros: Bowser VS Ganondorf
Inspired by “If Smash Bros Had Intros Like Mortal Kombat” by Mister BlackJack
Bowser:”You replaced me...with a potted plant!?”
Ganondorf:”A potted plant that’s burned and chomped Mario into submission more than you ever could.”
Bowser:”I’ll burn and chomp you, you lousy traitor!”
[A reference to Pirahna Plant’s unexpected addition as a playable character, how Bowser winding up fighting for the good guys as much as the mad guys in a lot of Mario games, and how Pirahna Plant enemies can be more difficult to deal with than Bowser boss fights.]
Smash Intros: ROB VS Robin
Inspired by “If Smash Bros Had Intros Like Mortal Kombat” by Mister BlackJack
ROB:”QUERY: The I and N in your name, what do they stand for?”
Robin:”They don’t stand for anything, they’re...”
ROB:”RESPONSE: They stand for ‘Is a’ and ‘Nerd’!”
Smash Intros: Ike VS Pokemon Trainer
Inspired by “If Smash Bros Had Intros Like Mortal Kombat” by Mister BlackJack
Ike:”Fire burns Grass, Grass absorbs Water, and Water douses Fire. Sounds easy enough.”
Trainer:”But how does Fire beat Wind, but lose to Thunder?”
Ike:”I...think you’d be better off asking Soren that.”
[What happens when different elemental weaknesses interract.]
Smash Intros: Palutena VS Meta Knight
Inspired by “If Smash Bros Had Intros Like Mortal Kombat” by Mister BlackJack
Palutena:”In some languages, the word meta means ‘goal’ or ‘ambition’.”
Meta Knight:”Mine is to be a knight worthy of my title.”
Palutena:”And mine is to knock you into next week.”
Smash Intros: Greninja VS Incineroar
Inspired by “If Smash Bros Had Intros Like Mortal Kombat” by Mister BlackJack
Greninja:”Chesnaught would’ve loved you.”
Incineroar:”And you and Decidueye would get along like a house on fire.”
Greninja:”But what would Delphox and Primarina think of eachother?”
Smash Intros: Zelda VS Toon Link
Inspired by “If Smash Bros Had Intros Like Mortal Kombat” by Mister BlackJack
Zelda:”Fighting Galeem will be nothing like fighting Ganondorf.”
Toon Link:”How about a kiss, for luck?”
Zelda:”You’ve got to be kidding me.”
[CD-i reference.]
Smash Intros: Richter VS Mii Gunner (Megaman.exe)
Inspired by “If Smash Bros Had Intros Like Mortal Kombat” by Mister BlackJack
Richter:”Have you hunted vampires before?”
Mii Gunner (Megaman.exe):”I defeated Shade Man five times!”
Richter:”Computer vampires don’t count, Mega Man.”
Smash Intros: Pit VS Duck Hunt
Inspired by “If Smash Bros Had Intros Like Mortal Kombat” by Mister BlackJack
Pit:”Aren’t you supposed to hunt the duck?”
Dog:”...”
Pit:”Good grief, I’m talking to a dog.”
Smash Intros: Joker VS Wario
Inspired by “If Smash Bros Had Intros Like Mortal Kombat” by Mister BlackJack
Joker:”You used to be a Phantom Thief?”
Wario:”Yup! The Purple Wind! Silent, but deadly.”
Joker:”I’m not even dignifying that with a response.”
[A reference to the DS game, Wario: Master of Disguise.]
Smash Intros: Charizard VS Greninja
Inspired by “If Smash Bros Had Intros Like Mortal Kombat” by Mister BlackJack
Charizard:”Something bugging you, Frog-legs?”
Greninja:”Lord Arceus has grown weary of your blasphemy, Charizard! Repent or suffer the consequences!”
Charizard:”Dude, you’ve been hanging out with Simon too much.”
[A reference to Charizard oversaturating the Pokemon games, the Galar ban on Arceus, and the joke that Charizard is the Poke-God of the Galar region.]
Smash Intros: Pichu VS Jigglypuff
Inspired by “If Smash Bros Had Intros Like Mortal Kombat” by Mister BlackJack
Pichu:”Do we hafta do this Gramma? I don wanna hurt you.”
Jigglypuff:”Don’t you worry sonny, Gramma Jigg is tougher than she looks.”
Pichu:”Okay, here I come!”
[I thought it’d be a fun twist to have Jigglypuff be a kindly, grandmotherly figure instead of the usual young girl portrayal. I also like to imagine the Pikachu from Brawl onwards is the son of the Pikachu from the first two games, while the new Pichu is his child.]
Smash Intros: Donkey Kong VS Villager
Inspired by “If Smash Bros Had Intros Like Mortal Kombat” by Mister BlackJack
DK:”Think Tom Nook would be willing to buy a used Coconut Cannon?”
Villager:”Nookingtons doesn’t deal in weapons, DK.”

Inspired by “If Smash Bros Had Intros Like Mortal Kombat” by Mister BlackJack
Dedede:”Hey! Come ya invited Meta Knight into the Subspace Legion and not me!”
Ganondorf:”Because you’re a fat, incompetent buffoon.”
Dedede:”I’ll show YOU who’s incompetitive!”
