#49 to #30
49. Kirby
Go on TV Tropes and look up Corrupt the Cutie. Being the lone survivor after the capturing and brainwashing of everyone in the known universe is very stressful.
48. Robin
What's the use of a character named Robin if we can't picture his booty up in 3D? Mmm... y'know what? We definitely can.
47. Corrin
I can't tell the difference between Corrin and Robin. If you ask me, I'll probably just walk away.
46. Terry
I like Terry! I don't think I bought him, but he's fun! His moveset is a bit complicated for me to understand... as for his silliness, he's around the middle. He's not a super serious fighter from a super serious game like Ken and Ryu, but he's certainly not an overweight, capitalist-coded crocodile with pink eye.
45. Pit
What a simp.
44. Ness
If you didn't play Earthbound as a kid, just imagine Frisk from Undertale. You'd put them here, wouldn't you?
43. Lucas
The only character in the roster who has canonically sung the Freddie Freaker theme song!
42. Captain Falcon
I don't know the super-specific details about Captain Falcon, except that he runs fast, but at face value, I can take him about as seriously as Powdered Toast Man from Ren and Stimpy. He looks extremely strong, though... so I probably wouldn't fuck with him. I'd probably moreso try to get his autograph. ...Unless I were a Tekken character, of course.
41. Pokémon Trainer
Half of 82 is 41. That means Pokémon Trainer is my dead middle pick! ...And I don't have much else to say. I mean, look, even the pokémon he uses are reflective of that. One is a tiny little gremlin child, one is a giant, menacing fire dragon and one is just... there. What an absolute centrist.
40. Steve / Alex / Enderman / Zombie
Listen, this is the only time I'm gonna put the echo fighters for a certain fighter together throughout the entire list, but if you wanna see me rank Minecraft mobs, I'm getting to that later. Anyway, there isn't really much to say about Steve! He was meant to just be a blank canvas for the Minecraft players to paint on circumstantially, and that's kind of how he works in this game too. He isn't really too silly or serious! Though, if I had to put him on either side, I'd definitely say silly, which is why I put him just above the middle!
39. Dark Pit
Remember when I said "I would put this higher on the silliness scale than Samus for falling into the esteemed "does not need to exist" section of the Smash roster, but...?" Take that and remove the "would," remove the "but" and replace Samus with Pit.
38. Wii Fit Trainer
This character isn't really silly in and of herself--she's very serious in terms of getting you healthy--it's moreso silly that she's in the game. That's like putting the guy from Brain Age on Nintendo DS in--wait, what? He's already there? Well, there you go.
37. Palutena
I like Palutena. She's cute, funny, well-meaning, but... also an absolute smug jackass. Also... she has unimaginable power. Moreso on the silly side, but... only very slightly.
36. Pikachu
I'd put Pikachu at a much sillier level if it weren't for that scene in one of the Pokémon movies where Ash died and Pikachu had a mental breakdown so loud that it completely screwed with everything within a 50 mile radius. Ultimate "Do not fuck with me, I will cry" energy.
35. Little Mac
For some reason, he's actually one of the youngest characters in the game... I mean... VILLAGER is probably older than him--he owns a house! Also, for some reason, he's 4 foot 8 in Punch-Out on the NES... Isn't he supposed to be Little Mac and not Microscopic Mac?
34. Incineroar
Furry Little Mac. There's... honestly not much else to say about this one. Incineroar is a bit scary in how easily he can hurt you in-game, but he just... airs on the side of silliness because of that stupid Hanna-Barbera grin. I love it so much.
33. Mega Man
An absolutely inspiring and iconic character in gaming history... but his design is admittedly really awkward. Do you think he's just Astro Boy in a suit?
32. Sonic
And here we are--the man himself. I would be so inclined as to say that Sonic is the most iconic character we've talked about so far! He can get pretty serious sometimes. I mean, he's the one who taught us that we can't use buildings as a canvas, and did so by making us remember the damning, thought-provoking conundrum that it is, in fact... graffiti. Well, I'm convinced--I'm never doing it again! (Not that I've ever done it before.) And also, he's had some pretty big, daunting stories over the years... but at the end of the day, he's still the butt of every joke on the internet and Sonic '06 and Sonic Boom still exist. So, he's a silly boy.
31. Toon Link
I love Wind Waker, but the professionally lit, super generic, high quality, modern-day graphics of Smash Ultimate kind of ruins Toon Link for me. His mere existence in the game alone puts him on the silly side.
30. Greninja
Greninja is such an odd design... he seems like he's this super stealthy killer ninja frog, but... I'm led to believe that he uses his own tongue as a scarf... and why does he always have fuck-me eyes???
