  • With Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's final character announced, I binged a lot of the major promotional material for the series alongside every newcomer trailer from Brawl onwards. Not the usual course for my content, but I figured I'd compile all the "big/major" reveals/trailers the series brought to us over the 20+ years in 4K as well. Really nostalgic but a bunch of magical experiences and feelings. Hope you have fun watching, reliving & enjoy, it truly feels like the end of an era.

    @pikasutdalt 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1820

    You know what I find really crazy? Didn't Sakurai opt for the character trailers because he noticed that people were sharing Brawl's subspace emissary cutscenes online? Think about it. The reason why he didn't really make any game specific cutscenes after Brawl (i.e. a story mode similar to subspace) was because he thought that "they would no longer serve as rewards for playing the game" if people just saw them out of context. So instead of using a cinematic budget inside the game itself, he used it to deliver us these well-crafted trailers directly through the internet. He utilized the same medium that fans did... to give those same fans unique clips to get them excited for newcomers.

    Who knows what the next Smash Bros. will hold? It could be essentially Ultimate with some more content or they could take a complete left turn and take it to a new direction.
    Either way, let’s appreciate this game and its roster while we still have it. We might never get to experience a crossover of this capacity ever again.

    Bro I want a time machine just to go back a day before Nintendo's E3 presentation in 2018 and tell everyone that the new Smash game they were anticipating would be larger than ever and feature 89 characters including:
    - Every single fighter from Smash's past, even Yink, Cloud, Snake, the IC's, all of Pokemon Trainer and freaking *Pichu*
    - Ridley
    - King K.Rool
    - Simon Belmont
    - Joker from Persona 5
    - Banjo-Kazooie
    - Sans and Cuphead as Mii Costumes
    - Sephiroth
    - *Steve from Minecraft*
    - *SORA FROM KINGDOM HEARTS*
    - And a ding dang *Piranha Plant*

    Man what a trip. I remember being 9 years old and seeing the N64 commercial on TV and being super hyped. Then seeing Ganondorf in Melee, finally unlocking Mewtwo, and fighting Giga Bowser and Crazy Hand for the first time were all epic. In Brawl seeing Link get a Twilight Princess aesthetic update, Diddy Kong's addition, Charizard, Wolf, custom stages, Sonic and Snake's addition, playing through the Subspace Emissary, winning against Tabuu on intense the first time...all epic memories. On WiiU and 3DS getting rid of the stupid trip mechanism, Cloud and Mega Man, that sick theme song, being the first handheld version, Ryu, heck even Duck Hunt, all fun. Then Ultimate making sure to add every existing character and stage so far, World of Light, the soundtrack y'all, Ridley and King K Rool were unexpected additions for me, I'd been saying that Banjo and Kazooie should be in a Smash game since melee so that was a fun surprise, honestly the MOST unexpected reveal for me that came completely out of left field was Sephiroth. When One Winged Angel started playing I got goosebumps. Sora is a great end to the DLC, but he was the most requested character and there were so many rumors and "leaks" that I wasn't just shocked to see him added. Happy? Yes. Surprised? Not as much as some of the other additions. This has been a helluva ride and I can't wait to see what the future holds as well.
