Series symbol

A series symbol is a distinctive iconography that represents an in-game universe in the Super Smash Bros. series and that is also present in Super Smash Flash 2. These symbols are assigned to playable characters, stages and, to an extent, items, but only if there is a representative of the first two. Within the game, the symbol can be seen next to a characters damage counter being the same color of the player's number. They can also be seen on pages of the Smash Flash DOJO!!!. There were no symbols in the original Super Smash Flash. Below is a list that compiles and explains each symbol's source origin:

Trivia

 * The Bleach and Mega Man symbols are the only ones that have been changed throughout development of Super Smash Flash 2:
 * Bleach ' s beta symbol was the actual hollow mask, which was changed into the skull logo as it is the symbol on Ichigo's Soul Reaper badge and represents the Bleach series in outer media.
 * Mega Man ' s beta symbol was Mega Man's helmet, which was changed into a cog to match its official appearance in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U.
 * Castlevania and Metal Gear have no actual symbol in Super Smash Flash 2 anywhere else. One is taken from Project M and the other is taken from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, respectively.
