Lucario's Navy alternate seems like a pretty clear reference to Mega Lucario to me at least, and after cross-referencing his Brawl alts to check if it appeared before Pokémon's Generation V, I'm convinced also that Lucario's Purple alternate is a reference to the very thematically similar Fighting-Type Pokémon, Mienshao. A case could be made for his Grey alt being a shout-out to Machop/Machoke/Machamp but that one's flimsier.

With Ken's Black alt's darkened skintone and presence in Dark Samus's evil version-centric Classic Mode, should an aside be added referencing Violent Ken? I know Violent Ken in the Street Fighter series typically retains Ken's red gi and has longer/brighter hair, but Dark Samus's Classic Mode has me convinced it was intentional to darken Ken's skin for this one alt.
