Originating from Animal Crossing, the Villager made their Smash debut when they were announced in early 2014. His (Or her, if you pick the alternate costumes) main gimmick was being able to store massive projectiles in his pocket, which appears to be an alternate pocket reality, as it can store entire trees and various objects much higher than him. His down special encourages the media to commonly associate him with serial killers, which became an extremely popular meme around the time when Villager was announced for Smash 4.
