Super Smash Bros./Ships

Clink
 Clink is the slash ship between Cloud and Link from the Super Smash Bros. fandom.

Canon
In the reveal trailer for Cloud in Super Smash Bros., Link and Cloud are shown clashing swords in the midgar stage. In later photos in the DLC, they can be shown having a friendly sword Fights with their signature swords, the Buster Sword and the Master Sword.

Fanon
Although not as popular as other slash ships, there are a few people who do ship these two together. A few works about Link and Cloud have them falling in love with each other due to how much they have in common. Even though no one in the Smash community thinks that they like each other, they do get along well enough to be considered friends or allies.

Due to their sword clashing scene, some have Link and Cloud as rivals who fight one another and with Link not being happy that Cloud has a bigger sword than he does, until the two realize that them they combined their skills together they make an excellent sword fighting team. Since most fanfics and fanart of Cloud and Link do have them fighting beside each other as friends. Along with there being a few pieces of fanart on Tumblr that has Cloud and Link together while they are wearing their female disguises, since it is one of the few similar traits that has fans bring Link and Cloud together.

On AO3, the ship has only 16 fanfics, while FanFiction.Net has 15 fanfics in its Super Smash Brothers category. Which is a much bigger number of fanfics that ClouZel has on those websites, making the slash ship a bit more popular than the het ship. Clink also has a some fanbase on both Tumblr and DeviantART. Because Cloud and Link can meet one another in canon through Super Smash Bros., most fan-made work of Clink focuses on the crossover game series. While there have been a few pieces of fan work on the two that has their games and worlds crossed with one another. Along with some of the Link x Cloud fan-work having Cloud in his original Kingdom Hearts attire.

Luicigi

Luigi and Lucina barely interact.

Fanon
A YouTube channel by the name of MasterEnex released a parody video that replaces Lucina's Final Smash with her confessing her love for her opponent, Luigi. Luigi surrenders the match and becomes Lucina's husband. The two are still shown to be partners in the video's sequel during which Lucina attempts the same move on Palutena, but is instead Countered with a friendzone. She also calls Luigi her "friend" in one comic, to which Luigi is delighted to hear. One could also find appeal in pairing them due to their similar names.

Shulkalina
 Shulkalina is the het ship between Shulk and Rosalina.

Canon
In the Super Smash Bros. universe, they were both introduced in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS, and was also back in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as part of the base roster. Both are a part of the beginning cutscene of the World of Light story mode, when Shulk encounters the future of Galeem destroying the roster; he would try to warn the roster before being obliterated offscreen. Rosalina in a clip from the cutscene with Diddy Kong are flying away from the beams of light before they obliterate them. Similar traits from both include, having blond and blue eyes, the existence of deities in their universes, being kind, caring towards their friends, and being physically active. They may conflict with each other due to past experiences related to gods within Shulk’s universe. They both haven’t met each other otherwise, and therefore, are not canon.

Fanon
It can be seen as a familyship (as Rosalina can be seen more of a mother figure) or a het ship. There are traits that could conflict with people shipping Shulk and Rosalina. Shulk and Rosalina’s situation can be seen as wholesome, as they enjoy simple things in life (as they couldn’t have a normal childhood in fanfics). The pairing currently has 1 work on AO3, but plenty on FanFiction.Net.

Sorario
 Sorario is the friendship between Sora and Mario from the Super Smash Bros. fandom.

Canon
Tetsuya Nomura has gone on record saying that the creation of the Kingdom Hearts series has inspiration from Mario, specifically the Super Mario 64 game. Sora and Mario have met in Super Smash Bros. as they are both playable characters. First meeting each other in the fifth game in the franchise (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate), where they act as playable characters. Unfortunately, neither has canonically met each other in their respective series due to being set in different universes with each's franchises having different developers each, making a specific crossover unlikely. In Sora's reveal trailer for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Mario picks up Sora's Kingdom Key and throws it. The Keyblade shoots out a beam that summons Sora, who eagerly meets up with Mario, along with the rest of the Smash Bros. cast. After the gameplay footage, the last shot shows Mario and Sora shaking hands, a reference to them being the first and final characters in the game.

Fanon
A 2007 April Fool's joke by Electronic Gaming Monthly advertised a fake game called Mushroom Kingdom Hearts that would have the two teaming up in the Mushroom Kingdom. While this was obviously intended as a joke, Sora's inclusion in Super Smash Brothers caused it to be somewhat realized. The pairing become popular, especially since the two of them shaking hands solidified them as friends for many. Sora and Mario also have many similarities as both are wholesome mascot heroes. Mario specifically is often considered to be the "Mickey Mouse of video games" in terms of their iconic status and historical significance for their respective mediums, and now Sora is a mutual connection between both of them.
