Legend of Red MArth was Wtf epic.

As for me, I like to have my colors. It's not 100% needed, since I have backup colors for each, but it certainly makes me more comfortable.

For Marth I bounce around between Black, White, Blue, and Red.

Link is always Red, failing that, Gold.

Toon Link is Purple, if not, Red.

Wolf is always Black.

I'm not attached to any set colors on characters but I do sometimes switch up Lucario colors for the back and white version. Generally I just stick with the standard color theme.

I recently switched from White Olimar to Regular Olimar. Little did I know that such a slight color change on such a diminutive character would be incredibly distracting. <<;

I'm fine with playing any color except for Sunflower Hat Jigglypuff, that just throws my game off.

Most of the time though I'll pick green because I like it but if I was forced to choose a different color I wouldn't mind.

Not really. I can see how it would make a difference, though, especially with Jiggs or Pika. Kirbeh doesn't really change that much, though...

Away from you.
I love the way Praxis plays as Peach. Sort of a fan, and I noticed he usually plays in Peach's wedding Dress...... That is why I play as Peach in the White Dress V__V

Hmm...personally, I don't really have any real attachment to a certain color that affects my fighting style...at least not any colors that are in the game at default. I do really like playing with deep blue Yoshi and black Bowser, however. Whites and Blacks are usually my favorites, actually.

Well, with Ike it doesn't matter though his red costume is the only one I refuse to play in.
With Toon Link, I either play them all except green.
Luigi=Purple
Sonic=Gold or Green
Mario= White

Well in terms of mattering it's not like I need it, but I like having Zelda/Sheik or anyone for that matter wearing black, probably because I like the color black and Zelda looks pretty in it.

Well since I use custom textures, for certain characters I don't have a preference, I like them all. But as far as normal colors are concerned, I only use original/Mr. Saturn for Ness, original/Claus/green for Lucas, green for Snake, and light blue for Marth.

If another player picked your character in your preferred colour, you might mistake their character for your own (if only for a second); this, however, has never happened to me.

I'm so use to one color that when I play teams or i'm not that color I loose concentration fast, finding myself getting lost in the fight and realizing, oh god i'm the one falling off the map.

I always play the green costume, always. When I play teams I am always the green team. There have been occasions where I swapped teams and it was confusing.

It only matters when im in doubles. Me and my teammate are always red so it messes us up when we pick blue or green.

Yes, the colors mean a lot! I start tripping over the costume colors, but I know we have hacks to change that >_<

Someone get the legend of Red Marf in here.

edit: Got it



And that is why costumes are important.
This was amazing, and slightly frightening at the same time. One good reason reliable GameCube controllers should've been created.

Anyways, I love to play as green Olimar, aka Pink Boots. Green's always been my favorite color, plus his green space suit is just so funky fresh.
