For a crappy, grainy video, I'm really happy that so many people have received some enjoyment out of it. Hard to believe it was over 10 years ago already! The energy and excitement was palpable that night and I'm sure it'll be repeated once everyone gets their hands on Smash Switch. Thanks for watching and, for the record, I was the guy who shouted "NESS"! :p
We were a large group of college friends that formed around its game room, which is where this was filmed. One among us imported Brawl and the rest of us stood around and watched! I can't remember if I even played Brawl this particular day, I probably didn't.
Wario: 1 guy saying his name Olimar: another guy saying his name with people following a cheer Yoshi: *YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH* Ness & *Lucas*: NEEEESS WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
0:54- YAAAY! 0:56- Zelda sucks! 1:07-1:09- IKE! and Zero Suit Samus. 1:12- Wario 1:14- Olimar 1:16- (Hype for Yoshi) 1:18- NESS!! (I probably think the person filming this shouted that.) 1:22- YEAH!! 1:25- (Hype for Sonic) 1:27- Metal Gear! 1:41- Do a barrel roll. 1:49- This is like the most epic shit ever. 1:54- More hype 2:12- Do a barrel roll! 2:21- Yeah Pit! 2:25- *whistling*
Goodness, is this ancient or what? I'll always be grateful to Super Smash Bros. Brawl for it introduced me to so many game franchises that I had never thought even existed... including some that would go on to become some of my all time favorites! Also, given that for a time it was speculated that Ness might've been cut from Brawl, it's nice to see some people happy that he managed to make it after all in this video.
Although Brawl was very slow compared to Melee, it still left an impact on my heart. I loved the story narrative they made for Brawl. Subspace Emissary was the best thing to ever come out of the series. Sucks that Smash 4 didn’t get a proper ‘Adventure mode’. I know Sakarai said because people uploaded videos of the story online, but I think it’s just a bullshit excuse to cover up the fact that 1, an expansive Adventure mode would’ve caused a BIG delay just like how it did with Brawl. And 2, the 3DS couldn’t handle an Adventure mode and would make the Wii U version more inferior than the 3DS one, something the development team wanted to avoid.
I love that guy that shouts "Olimar!" when the dude appears on screen. They were probably the only person there who knew what Pikmin was and they seemed delighted, like "Oh, what a nice little surprise!"
So many people say how much they hated brawl but if you knew how fast my heart was pounding uncontrollably when that intro started 13 years ago you'd know how life changing this game was for me
Uh, you would realize people hated it for a certain reason if you did some research. it's not like people went out of their way to hate the smash games, because there was a large audience for each game
I had legit goosebumps at this reaction. That's how much I like this game in particular, also because it's my first smash game that I actually learnt how to play with and the magic of the series.
And now I sometimes tear up at this for no reason like holy shit I feel more goosebumps to these old reaction videos of these intros than the intro itself...
0:05 Shoutout to the guy who asked how we can unlock Slowpoke. Now I want Slowpoke to be a playable character in the next Smash game just because of that!
Had no idea this existed. Amazing piece of gaming history right here. They weren't spoiled because the internet wasn't like it is today. And damn, that sound system!
Zer0dog ikr. Plus I wouldn't even know what smash bros is if it wasn't for my girlfriend. But for real brawl was my first I never knew it exsited. I cried when I saw the intro because it's all my favorite Nintendo characters in one game.
I agree SSE was really the best part of the game except for the Designs and graphics, I also liked melee for the fast pace really felt like a fighting game to me
Turel a) The GameCube sold shitty in general and the Wii was one of the most sold consoles of all time, ofc Brawl sales more. b) Imo Brawl is better too, I never liked Melee a lot, but everybody can have their own opinion as long as they don't insult others lol.
Pit (Newcomer)-Wooh Ice Climbers (Melee)- *Silence for no reason* Ivysaur (Newcomer)- WOOOAAH Lucas (Newcomer)- Wooh Ness (Original 12)- WOOOHH NESS Yoshi (Original 8)- Yeas could you be a little louder I can't hear you.
Im smiling so hard throughout this video. Wow time flies. Goodnight everyone i hope brawl still lives with us all even through adulthood taxes and all the crazy things happening in the world we'll always have our childhood and the subspace emissary
After ultimate the next smash should definitely go back to brawls direction and attempt for more of an actual collaborated world with character interactions and everything. That way it still feels as cool without having a bigger roster
This was my reaction when i first played Brawl in 2012(Was 7) except: I only knew Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Wario, Pikachu, Yoshi, Sonic, Kirby, King Dedede, Meta Knight, Donkey Kong, and Diddy Kong though. Things i thought while playing Brawl were: I thought Galleom and Duon were from Transformers I thought Ridley/Meta Ridley was from either Pokemon or Godzilla I thought Rayquaza was from a Godzilla movie I thought Fox, Falco, Wolf, and Captain Falcon were from an 80s-90s series I thought R.O.B. is either from Transformers or is a Smash Original I thought Jigglypuff was Kirby’s girlfriend(Or atleast a species of Kirby) I thought Snake was from a Marvel series I thought Marth was a girl I thought Shiek was a different person I thought all the characters from Fire Emblem, Kid Icarus, and Legend Of Zelda came from an anime I thought Mr Game And Watch was a smash original I thought Samus was a boy at first I used to think the Halberd was from a Star Wars movie until recognizing it from Super Star Ultra I used to call Petey Pirahna, “King Pirahna” I used to think Tabuu came from Dragon Ball Z. Well that was alot of “I thought”s. Hopefully they add another story mode like Subspace Emissary to Ultimate as an DLC.
And this is all before it reaches Western shores. March in America, June for Europe. And not to mention, this is the game that pushed the Wii up to it's limits texture quality wise.
Well DX is デラックス because it's just like the previous Smash Bros, but Deluxe. For Brawl I'm not sure, but cutting down half of the letters cuz the gayme isn't half as good so you go from DX to X seems a legit explanation
I heard someone say NESS and then it turns over to Lucas and i hear the same guy say "Who the hell is that guy"
well, mother 3 wasnt as widely known back then, to be fair
i think brawl was probably what introduced most people in the west to its existence anyway
We aren't giving you mother 3 but you can have a superman 64 remake!
Pakkemand Noah, Me seeing every character in smash except Mario, Sonic, Pac-Man, Pokémon, and DK.
I don’t hear him say “Who the hell is that guy” but it’s probably just me.
@@fukyu2 alright
0:50 this guy just pulled Kirby out of the clouds
GAHAHAHAHAHAHA
xD
yo i didn't noticed that 💀
Lol

im confused.. any way you can provide more backstory on this video?

Eirikr what about the new smash , are you a fan ? :0
Hype as big as Ridley! :p
Seriously, I'm happy that purple xenomorph rip-off is finally in. Come on, Simon Belmont...
Eirikr Great !

You can hear 1 person say "Lucas."
No one knew who was Lucas by the time

TommyTom exept the whole starman.net communty

There was so much hype in that scream for Yoshi. I loved it 😂
7 years. Man, time sure flies! Brawl will always be my favorite!
Edit on March 2018: Now it's 10 years, baby!!!
now ten years ago
Yeah. Well, almost...
I loved brawl so fucking much... subspace emissary is one of the coolest things in a smash game ever
10!
Trevor Kobe Hell yeah! And I still love it!
The girl who screamed for Yoshi is me asf
its a boy tho
Yeah ..
That one guy going "Metal Gear!" makes me unfathomably happy.
15 years later…
This is still an amazing moment.
1:27 METAL GEAR
Metal Gear?!!?
Solid snake
AJAJJAJAJAAJAA
Metal...Gear?!?
I love how someone shouts "METAL GEAR!" whenever Snake or Shadow Moses appears.
Goodness, is this ancient or what? I'll always be grateful to Super Smash Bros. Brawl for it introduced me to so many game franchises that I had never thought even existed... including some that would go on to become some of my all time favorites!

1:02 "Star Fox is fucking hideous"
Leave my son alone
I felt some hard ass nostalgia from this, thanks for uploading this, brought back so many memories of when I first got the game lmao

2:12 Do a barrel roll, the exact thing peppy says to me
1:19 *NESS*
Your profile pic tho 😂😂😂
15 years, it's now a certified Retro Classic!
1:49 this is like the most epic shit ever, BECAUSE IT IS AND ALWAS WILL BE.
"Do a barrel roll!"
As if this wasn't representative of 2008 enough. That made me smile.
A got goosbumps and teared up a bit, super smash bros brawl will awlays hold a special place in the hearts of many, and in history.
I love that guy that shouts "Olimar!" when the dude appears on screen. They were probably the only person there who knew what Pikmin was and they seemed delighted, like "Oh, what a nice little surprise!"

Brawl was the best@@lapplandkun9273
Sonic and Snake got the most reaction
Yep, even today
Ness and yoshi
wow, 14 years and you can still feel the hype
“This is like the most epic shit ever”
Nothing changes
Bro same u remember I first played it o felt so much engery played it with my brothers and sisters back then when I was a kid man times change!
1:27 *M E T A L G E A R*
"cant let you do that, starfox" XD

Pretty sure he said Star Wolf, but I would love Slowpoke in Smash!
@@KoroPSIAhh, I hear it now. That makes more sense. Still though, shoutout to the guy, and I’m still rooting for Slowpoke in Smash 6 for that.
1:27 *_M E T A L G E A R_* 😂
A precious moment in the history of Super Smash
CAN'T LET YOU DO THAT STARFOX!
I love to come back to this video every once in a while
Everyone didn't care for lucas back then, now everyone freaks out when he is in smash 4? Goes to show not to judge a book by its cover
Cloud Strife nobody cared, because he was not know by many people at the time.
Sneaky Vaporeon guess your right
He is my favorite character
@ANDROXUS FOR SMASH Not to offend, but I don't think the Needle might be a good Final Smash for Lucas.
that`s when people played his game and cried of beauty
Had no idea this existed. Amazing piece of gaming history right here. They weren't spoiled because the internet wasn't like it is today. And damn, that sound system!
Back when we still had hope
Zer0dog ikr brawl is lit.
Zer0dog ikr. Plus I wouldn't even know what smash bros is if it wasn't for my girlfriend. But for real brawl was my first I never knew it exsited. I cried when I saw the intro because it's all my favorite Nintendo characters in one game.
I agree SSE was really the best part of the game except for the Designs and graphics, I also liked melee for the fast pace really felt like a fighting game to me
Brawl>melee sales prove it
Turel a) The GameCube sold shitty in general and the Wii was one of the most sold consoles of all time, ofc Brawl sales more.
b) Imo Brawl is better too, I never liked Melee a lot, but everybody can have their own opinion as long as they don't insult others lol.
Can’t wait for this to come out
No one was happy to see Olimar :(
Someone said Olimar.
1:50
The same guy.
maybe the best game ever created, time flies... What a Classic.
Pit (Newcomer)-Wooh
Ice Climbers (Melee)- *Silence for no reason*
Ivysaur (Newcomer)- WOOOAAH
Lucas (Newcomer)- Wooh
Ness (Original 12)- WOOOHH NESS
Yoshi (Original 8)- Yeas could you be a little louder I can't hear you.
Sonic and Snake (3rd Party Newbs)- Can only be described as x3 intensity as Yoshi.
2:36 Dat press to start button teasing them ;)
1:54 IT IS BRAWL TIME MY DUDES
Jimmyhere?
This is awesome to see
Brawl was my first Smash game
This whole thing is still epic as Brawl and this reactio hold up today
"IKE!"
"YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"NESS!"
"METAL GEAR!"
"Do a barrel roll!"
Im smiling so hard throughout this video. Wow time flies. Goodnight everyone i hope brawl still lives with us all even through adulthood taxes and all the crazy things happening in the world we'll always have our childhood and the subspace emissary
This video is 10 years old. Jeez.
NESS AND LUCAS:YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
LUCAS:.........................................
6 years later.... Here we are watching Smash Bros for Wii U opening cinemmatic
I miss this era of my life
brawl is definitely my favorite smash
Fr
After ultimate the next smash should definitely go back to brawls direction and attempt for more of an actual collaborated world with character interactions and everything. That way it still feels as cool without having a bigger roster
Back when everything was good
Whoever shouted *"NESS!!"* when he showed up is my hero.
Ness is my main.
that was straight up the setup i needed in 2023 to feel nostalgic damn
“Metal Gear!!!” I love the way he said it
I have that game on Nintendo wii when I was a kid…. That game is truly my childhood 😭😭😭
10 years later...
We got one Marth.
LMAO at 2:14! " WHAT THE HELL IS GOIN ON?!"
I like how Lucas got no reaction, like "Who da fuk be dis nigga, Earthbound got no sequel, yo! Gangsta yo bitch nigga"
Now we have Smash Ultimate with everybody in it.
YEAAA NESS
*sigh* thus began the dark ages of competitive melee
Dude the nostalgia is so real
I'm very sad now because they didn't know who Lucas was
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL i cant let you do that starrrrfox! lmaoo
1:27 "Metal Gear?"
Next month on that day the beauty of all the Smash games finally arrived
I wish I can go back in time to 15 years ago
0:06 are You Ok?
0:07 Buster Wolf.
But like, imagine the immense cheer for Lucas had mother 3 actually been released outside Japan
Brawl was so hype man
NEAS! Seriously this game was hype back in the day...ah Nostalga
Brawl Players:Never skip intro
Other Players:Skip
Melee Players:Skip in 1st flame
-Olimar? What the fuck?
-YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

0:55 - *guy flips off Meta Knight* HOW DID HE KNOW
yobob2andThefaloppy hes saying ayyyyyyy and pointing at my boi ml
1:24 Hype for Sonic
Looks like someone is hyped for Ness.
10 years has passed
1:03 i hope i'm not the only one who facepalms whenever someone refers to fox as "star fox". >_>
Subspace of Emissary is the best lore Nintendo could ever come up with.
who's watching this in 2018?
ME!!!
Shout out to that one guy who recognized Pit somehow
This was my reaction when i first played Brawl in 2012(Was 7) except:

I thought R.O.B. is either from Transformers or is a Smash Original
I thought Jigglypuff was Kirby’s girlfriend(Or atleast a species of Kirby)
I thought Snake was from a Marvel series
I thought Marth was a girl
I thought Shiek was a different person
I thought all the characters from Fire Emblem, Kid Icarus, and Legend Of Zelda came from an anime
I thought Mr Game And Watch was a smash original
I thought Samus was a boy at first
I used to think the Halberd was from a Star Wars movie until recognizing it from Super Star Ultra
I used to call Petey Pirahna, “King Pirahna”
I used to think Tabuu came from Dragon Ball Z.
Well that was alot of “I thought”s. Hopefully they add another story mode like Subspace Emissary to Ultimate as an DLC.
I like the guy who said metal gear when snake and the metal gear were on screen
youtube algorithm brought me here. I’m so surprised people didn’t lose their minds over charizard that was hype as hell
And this is all before it reaches Western shores. March in America, June for Europe.

Wait eirikr wtf? Didnt expect to run you on youtube.

I'm always wondering why brawl was called X in japan (same for Melee being called DX)
Well DX is デラックス because it's just like the previous Smash Bros, but Deluxe.
For Brawl I'm not sure, but cutting down half of the letters cuz the gayme isn't half as good so you go from DX to X seems a legit explanation

Crowd: "do a barrel roll!"

This is a legendary video!

Im suprised,when they saw zero suit samus they said nothing,Lol.
