I do agree with a lot of people here; though I don't get Applejack maining Samus. I have associated the Smashers with the ponies, though, mostly by personality. Let's see here... Twilight Sparkle: Main would be Zelda, Ness/Lucas, or Robin. But I see many similarities between her and Shulk, the aforementioned Robin and Zelda, Roy, Lucina, and even Samus sometimes. Shulk especially, and I'm sure they'll be best buds if they meet each other ever. Also, her relationship with Celestia reminds me of Pit and Palutena. Applejack: Main would be Link, Ike, Yoshi, Mario, Little Mac, DK or Duck Hunt. I associate the former two with her a lot (the TP version of Link to be exact). Since as someone already said they have similar values, and TP Link is an agricultural worker who is great with kids just like her. As for Ike - just look up his personality. If Smashers could wield the Elements of Harmony, this guy would get Honesty no doubts at all. He's what Applejack would be if she were a mercenary; and human, and, well, male. I can see her preceding slow characters too, and that just connects them even more. I also associate her with Mac because from what we know of Mac they have so much personality traits in common; I.e., complete workaholics with titanium-grade determination; which the former two also have. Rainbow Dash: Sonic, Falco or Captain Falcon, as everypony else has said. Maybe Gredinja, but I know she will go for the speedy ones. I SWEAR that she was at least partially inspired by Sonic. I can see some Pit in there too, but mostly Sonic, especially American, 90s, "Way-past-cool" Sonic. And now I really want to see RD saying or being put in a meme saying "You're too slow!" XD. Sounds like something she will say.
Pinkie Pie: I can see her making a beeline for Kirby, maybe Peach, Yoshi or Jigglypuff. She might also like random characters like Villager and Pac Man. Speaking of, she and Villager do have some things in common, down to them being accused of being psychos. She and Peach are bubbly and heavily associated with baking, not to mention pink. Kirby is pretty obvious; cheerful, pink, kind of random and naive, big eater, cartoon physics, the works. But it may surprise people that my headcanon also associates her with Ness and Pit. Ness comes from a game with a quirky and random sense of humor, and I see him as what it would be like if Pinkie's and Spike's personalities were spliced together, if that makes any sense. Pit is a known smasher of the fourth wall, and the clincher was Pinkie's freak-out in Party Of One. Pit has also gone coo-coo once after being stuck in Hades's stomach and a whole arc of being separated from Palutena, as well as being berated and mocked. I'm... Not the only one who thinks he has loneliness and approval issues, right? Plus, they're very cheerful, and Pit can also be pretty random and a big eater. ("Floor ice cream gives you health!")
Rarity: Same as everyone has said; Zelda, Rosalina, etc.. I actually don't know who I associate her with personality wise, I mostly see her closest to non-Smashers; but the closest might be Zelda. On a side note, The Villager or Link would. be prime candidates for her element. Fluttershy: Any Pokemon, especially Jiggly or Pikachu, or cute animal like Yoshi. Maybe Rosalina or even Olimar. But... Am I the only person who associates her with Lucas? They have practically identical personalities, are associated with the same color, and his home at Nowhere Islands is pretty close to what type of place she would want to live in if she was forced to live in a settled area; right next to a forest with many unique creatures, rural, almost nothing too artificial, etc. While he can't talk to them like Ness, he did grow up playing with said animals. Also, if she and RD had a sister-like relationship, RD is very similar to Claus. He also has love as his favorite thing. Pretty close to kindness if you ask me. And compare her flashbacks in Hurricane Fluttershy to Lucas and co.'s mushroom trip at Tane Tane Island. Celestia: Palutena. Just, Palutena. Though Celestia doesn't seem as trolling as everyone makes her out to be, they have so many other things in common. Being a goddess for one. Also, if we want to go with her being a troll; Duck Hunt. Pikachu. That is all. And maybe Rosalina. On a side note, I find her canon personality very close to Marth. Spike: Yoshi, because Dragons, and Ike, Marth, Roy or Link because heroic archetypes. Maybe Pikachu. Also, BTW Roy can also be part-dragon. Not sure who personality-wise, though I characterize Ness in a similar way. Toon Link? Shining Armor: Marth. In every way possible. They even look kind of similar. Maybe Robin or any kind of Swordsman character.
