@@sibsart2039 No, it was intentional, lol. The last trailer for Sora took place in the same location as the reveal trailer for the game all those years ago, with Inkling Girl looking at the flaming Smash logo.

Add in the fact that the single flame aesthetic was giving me HUGE Dark Souls vibes before it turned out to be Sora, and that's a recipe for nostalgia.
I love that 22 minutes in, and this guy hasn’t said “what about X character?” one time. Its all “never ask Sakurai for anything ever again” and “we do not deserve this man”. Absolute legend.

Smash Ultimate has got to be one of the greatest, most hype game reveals of all time. Every man was crying when they dropped that initial "everyone is here" direct.
i only just discovered this video today and i never felt so much emotions in one video it was an amazing compilation i really do miss the old days where smash bros was hyped around the globe
I'm not a smash bros fan (not my type of game I've tried) but I LOVE watching the reaction videos! And I'll give major props to Sakurai he really is a madman!
I am Japanese. I can only understand simple English. But his joy is very much conveyed. I am grateful to the poster of this video for putting together his video.
The best is wasn't P5 a recent game at the time? Like relatively new and it got so popular so fast it got a fighter in SMASH.. like that is an accomplishment
@@BaconNuke it was about 1-1.5 years old depending on where you lived. Persona was popular, if a bit niche, but it really took off with P5. Sakurai also really enjoyed P5 himself, which may have played a part in Joker's inclusion.
16:06 "Oh Characters with their rivals" Having that revelation was so smart, I haven't found another reaction that does it yet, but yours did and you predicted the correct character too! Really smart!
Im not a huge smash player, but oh my god seeing the hype around the reveals genuinely makes me tear up even now. especially for the characters that I do know, it's seriously so cool seeing the excitement around it!!
My mind will never comprehend how anyone can complain about the game when Sakurai delivered EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER from previous games, added a bunch more for the base game, along with 11 more through DLC, with stages, music, and everything else. A labor of love through and through. I hope he rests now. He really went above and beyond with Ultimate.
@@MurderofBirdsImpactI remember this comment said sakurai voiced king deedee and he was the fake out for king k rool so he said it was like sakurai trolling us.
Is it wrong to feel nostalgic for a game that's been out & pumping content for 3-4 years? The hype behind SSBU's reveal announcement, the Everyone Is Here, the World of Light announcement, and the Joker reveal hit that feeling that just screams nostalgia
some argue that time is percieved as having passed faster when more memorable events happen during a period of time. with this perspective, not wrong at all so many characters and moments since smash ultimate first started generating hype, it feels like it started so long ago, when in fact it's just been 3 years crazy
It's been nearly 10 months since this compilation video was uploaded, and I'm still shocked to realize this, but we surpassed 1 MILLION VIEWS on this Smash Bros Ultimate reaction video! THIS IS INSANE! I've NEVER reached 1 million views on any video I've ever uploaded across my two TH-cam channels. Thank you all so much for leaving uplifting comments, sharing your memories and hype of these Smash Bros reveals, and generally enjoying the rollercoaster of emotions this game gave us.
I dont know how but ive never realized how many characters are in smash ultimate. DQ, King K Rool, Sora, and banjo and kazooie play a huge role in my childhood. I was watching a compilation of final smashes when i saw a guy named hero who looked like erdrick and i couldnt believe it was real and nearly shed a tear. Im so glad this compilation and community is filled with others i can share the hype with even though im years late lmao
just went down a huge unexpected nostalgia trip watching this. haven’t played in a good while but your love for the game and games in general just radiates off of you and I could not stop smiling the whole time :)

Shoutout to the guys in his chat who kept spamming "SORA!!" They finally got what they wanted. Personally I had been hoping for Crash, but I'm not against Sora as a "saving the best for last" character.
@@Taser9001 yeah I don’t want to see crash and any other games, they only thing he is going to crossover with from now on are stupid brand deals like dominos pizza. Unless they sell the crash brand to another company, which is highly unlikely, I won’t expect him to appear in any smash game any time soon.
@@invaderperidot the funny thing is that Disney has had ties to Nintendo since 1959 where they made a deal for Nintendo to distribute Disney merchandise in Japan that included cards that sold very well. This was during the era when Nintendo hadn’t find itself yet and was a card company among other things. Nintendo owes it’s success to Disney for helping them climb to the top, as it allowed them to be publicly listed as an official company. What’s funny is that Nintendo is actually *OLDER* then Disney believe it or not. The only difference is that Disney always stuck to their way of making entertainment, Nintendo shifted their organization up a bit till they became a video game developer, publisher, and console manufacturer. Activision on the other hand, isn’t a very loyal company anymore. They used to be a very small video game developer that worked on games for Atari and then they transitioned into a giant publisher conglomerate that buys out a bunch of other independent studios, harasses their employees, or either shutdown the studios if they aren’t making enough good content or just merge them into a better division just so they can assist their game development on titles such as call of duty which are practically the same game every year. They aren’t a worthy company anymore, even if they had a historical importance in the games industry and now owns two important gaming icons from the ps era. They may have started the toys to life craze which caused amiibo to be created but if I recall correctly, it seems that nobody from Activision or blizzard has been contacted by Nintendo about anything smash related since their current controversies. I don’t think they are going to try working with them again.
I'm here just to remember that hype from 2018 when SSBU got announced. This dude just revived my hype and got me crying from nostalgia. Thanks, Sakurai. Thanks, murderofbirds.
BIG SAME. I often wonder how I wouldn't reacted if I never played Persona 5 beforehand, and I'm SO glad I did. Persona 5 Royal went on to become my favorite video game of all-time too.
Thank you so much for the praise. Etika felt like a big brother to me and his hype for Nintendo, Smash, and gaming in general was so infectious. I appreciate the kind words and I'm glad this video reminded you of fond memories of Smash and Etika.

Sakurai, thank you for so many years of such hype and joy. This is truly the _ultimate_ video game~ Also, you can really tell who the Sephiroth fans are when their eyes POP after hearing just the first few notes of his theme. 🤣
I can’t stop watching this video, I don’t know half of these characters but I love your genuine excitement just to play with them, gives me chills/happiness
Whenever I’m stressed or out of touch with myself, I always watch this specific smash bros reaction video. Your expressions are so lively and just so genuine, it makes me smile and laugh with you all the time. I don’t even play smash bros, neither am I that into video games, but boy did this video opened my eyes 😮
Hoo wee I really appreciate this video, really got me tearing up with emotion and going back to the very beginning really just redoubled my respect for the man and the team working under him that brought this game to reality.
I'm thankful Sakurai has gotten his rest from working on Ultimate for so many years, but the excitement of waiting to see what new characters, mii costumes, and content released from each Smash direct is something I'll cherish forever and miss dearly (or until Smash 6 comes out), and your reactions help relive the hype.
I remember watching this video over and over again in the beginning of my freshman year. I’m not entering junior year. I know it isn’t rlly that big of a time jump but rewatching this video actually makes me want to shed a tear because of the nostalgia. Your video actually got me even more into smash. I finally made it into elite smash with Steve after 2 years. This video is so amazing. Thank you so much for this compilation. This made me imagine how the hype was.
Gave me so much joy to see your reactions and enthusiasm for these amazing video game characters. What a crazy and wild ride these years for an incredible game! Thank you sakurai 😊
Whenever I need endorphins in my system, I’ll just watch this video haha So much hype. So much love for such an amazing game. What a great tribute to end Smash off with. Thank you for always being so hype. We can always count on you for great reactions! 🙂
Honestly coming back here is definitely crazy. Smash Bros is definitely something I’m proud to be a part of and reacting to Ultimate’s trailer again is insane. I remember being a part of Smash Bros ever since Brawl on the Wii when Sonic joined in making me go insane.
I am so happy you posted this! I actually saw one by RogersBase and thought to myself I really want to see Murder's compilation! I ended up binging some of your reveal videos afterward. Thank you for the honest and open reactions, I appreciate the excitement and hype you always bring to every video you create! Here's to the future and I can't wait to see what's next in gaming! Smash'ing that subscribe button right....... now!
Thank you so much for the heartfelt comment, and I'm honored to know you enjoyed they hype and excitement along with everyone else. RogersBase's reaction compilation is actually what inspired me to make this video as my first upload to the gaming channel. I was in Canada at the time, but I decided, with the hype of Sora's release and it being the final character reveal, that it would undoubtedly do well for people looking to give one last hoo-rah to the journey and excitement toward these reveal events that've been happens for the last few years now. Thank you once again for subscribing and I hope you look forward to the future gaming content as well. :)
Man, these trailers were so hype, it feels like its been so long ago since the first trailer of Smash Ultimate came out. There was no other Game Trailers that made me jump out of my seat as much as you did
When you think about it, _Smash Bros._ now has all three major gaming platform producers under a single game. Nintendo, Sony's PlayStation, and Microsoft's PC/Xbox What a crazy era we're in.
You honestly had the best compilation of reactions out there, not calm at all but not crazily screaming out of your mind either, lol. Honestly, best 3 years of my gaming life, with SORA BEING THE CHERRY ON TOP!
This REALLLLY hits. Smash ultimatr was the game that got me through high school because of just how hype it was building up to its release, and then the dlc that game after, what an amazing experience and i love it to bits. So so happy to get to see arnold just as excited as me, cant stop the huge grin of my face when watching this
Watching all of these made me tear up multiple times 🤣. Sakurai and this game are out of this world. I can’t believe that any of this is possible. So much joy has been brought and shared because of it all. Loved your reactions.
EXACTLY! I just said this in another comment, but Smash reveals were an event all their own. It's the only game that I know where it seems like the whole world stops what their doing, they watch/react to the trailer, they walk about on social media all day and they everyone watches reactions on TH-cam. I'm SO gonna miss doing these.
@@MurderofBirdsImpact Your reactions to the reveal trailers beginning to end was awsome, one of the best on youtube, a lot of positivity and hype. Thanks
I still get goosebumps when I watch the first announcement when it was shown that all the fighters were brought back. It was so cool how all the fans freaked out.
If these reactions are indicative of his general disposition, MurderOfBirds is one of the most positive, delightful, and entertaining people on this site. Thank god for him.
I agree! There's so much hype around Smash and Sora that I felt it would be a great way to cap off the series, and usher the gaming content! And thank you for being the first-ever comment on this channel!

Life will change!
“You thought Cloud was a pop off?!”
Sephiroth and Sora: “Hello there!”
Man, your screams of joy are otherwordly counting by how much happiness they carry on the volume. It's so hilarious yet heartwarming to see this video
This mans reactions are amazing, I also find it hilarious how he skipped both min min and byleth. This was an amazing video. ❤
"welcome to dark souls bitch" is a true classic line
Who would've thought that would become an iconic quote in the community, lol.
All youtubers are doing this now. I love watching peoples reaction. End of an amazing era
Always loved rewatching yours and Etika's reactions to these, good shit putting all of yours in one video XD
Thank you so much for the praise. Etika felt like a big brother to me and his hype for Nintendo, Smash, and gaming in general was so infectious. I appreciate the kind words and I'm glad this video reminded you of fond memories of Smash and Etika.
@@MurderofBirdsImpact i like to think that Fighter Pass 2 is the Etika Fighter Pass. All of the picks he wanted made it in. If only he was still here to see it 😔
Rest in peace Etika

@@joshk9226 Fr like when I saw the sora reveal I knew that Erika would’ve been going crazy but I know he’s screaming up there
Rip Erika rest easy
wait etikas ur brother?!
1:11 “LINK FROM ODYSSEY!” Got me dead😂
I love that a constant throughout all creators reactions to Sephitorth are just immense terror
I loved how Arnold’s hair grew as the reveals went on XD
LMFAO! You can thank the quarantine for that.
Sakurai, thank you for so many years of such hype and joy. This is truly the _ultimate_ video game~
Also, you can really tell who the Sephiroth fans are when their eyes POP after hearing just the first few notes of his theme. 🤣
One-Winged Angel is ICONIC!
I don't even play Smash and I'm getting kinda emotional..gonna really miss watching people go crazy over new fighters.
I'm gonna miss doing these reactions, as well as watching other people go crazy over their favorite game characters getting into Smash.
I can't stop watching this!!...in this crazy world..watching people who are genuinely happy and excited about anything is a rare treat!
Teaser dropped 8th grade for me and Sora dropped near the end of my senior year of high school, smash was my whole school life
You have such a great reaction to all the Smash reveals.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
I can’t stop watching this video, I don’t know half of these characters but I love your genuine excitement just to play with them, gives me chills/happiness
Sephiroph is my favorite because it looks like everyone wanted the Dante guy but they got sephiroph instead but they were more than happy tho
Geez, it's been such a long wild ride and these reactions remain some of the most fun from you.
I’ve never seen any of your content until now, but you’ve got such a cheerful spirit that your excitement made me tear up a few times. Good shit man!
Whenever I’m stressed or out of touch with myself, I always watch this specific smash bros reaction video. Your expressions are so lively and just so genuine, it makes me smile and laugh with you all the time.
I don’t even play smash bros, neither am I that into video games, but boy did this video opened my eyes 😮
Sakurai: «The adventure mode this time around is *more about fun than story*»
Literally every reactor: «OMG STORY MODE»
He saved the best for last, lol.
DLC started with Persona 5 and ended with Kingdom Hearts. Arnold must be the happiest guy in the world LOL
YOU KNOW IT!
Hoo wee I really appreciate this video, really got me tearing up with emotion and going back to the very beginning really just redoubled my respect for the man and the team working under him that brought this game to reality.
That makes me happy to hear. Thank you so much :)
I'm thankful Sakurai has gotten his rest from working on Ultimate for so many years, but the excitement of waiting to see what new characters, mii costumes, and content released from each Smash direct is something I'll cherish forever and miss dearly (or until Smash 6 comes out), and your reactions help relive the hype.
I remember watching this video over and over again in the beginning of my freshman year. I’m not entering junior year. I know it isn’t rlly that big of a time jump but rewatching this video actually makes me want to shed a tear because of the nostalgia. Your video actually got me even more into smash. I finally made it into elite smash with Steve after 2 years. This video is so amazing. Thank you so much for this compilation. This made me imagine how the hype was.
These trailers are so magical, thank you so much Sakurai.
Gave me so much joy to see your reactions and enthusiasm for these amazing video game characters. What a crazy and wild ride these years for an incredible game! Thank you sakurai 😊
I'm so glad you enjoyed the reactions and nostalgia ride of these characters reveal. I'm gonna miss it so much, too.
Whenever I need endorphins in my system, I’ll just watch this video haha So much hype. So much love for such an amazing game. What a great tribute to end Smash off with. Thank you for always being so hype. We can always count on you for great reactions! 🙂
Honestly coming back here is definitely crazy. Smash Bros is definitely something I’m proud to be a part of and reacting to Ultimate’s trailer again is insane. I remember being a part of Smash Bros ever since Brawl on the Wii when Sonic joined in making me go insane.
I come back to this video every couple of months to get cheered up. Your excitement and enthusiasm is infectious, a great pick me up.
I literally watched the whole video.
Let's just thank sakurai for everything
Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it. And yeah, Sakurai did so much for gamers everywhere.
I am so happy you posted this! I actually saw one by RogersBase and thought to myself I really want to see Murder's compilation! I ended up binging some of your reveal videos afterward. Thank you for the honest and open reactions, I appreciate the excitement and hype you always bring to every video you create! Here's to the future and I can't wait to see what's next in gaming! Smash'ing that subscribe button right....... now!
Thank you so much for the heartfelt comment, and I'm honored to know you enjoyed they hype and excitement along with everyone else. RogersBase's reaction compilation is actually what inspired me to make this video as my first upload to the gaming channel. I was in Canada at the time, but I decided, with the hype of Sora's release and it being the final character reveal, that it would undoubtedly do well for people looking to give one last hoo-rah to the journey and excitement toward these reveal events that've been happens for the last few years now. Thank you once again for subscribing and I hope you look forward to the future gaming content as well. :)
Man, these trailers were so hype, it feels like its been so long ago since the first trailer of Smash Ultimate came out. There was no other Game Trailers that made me jump out of my seat as much as you did
For real, Sakurai went crazy with the production and direction for this game's trailers
This game is almost 4 years old but I can never contain my excitement seeing someone react to it all over again
When you think about it, _Smash Bros._ now has all three major gaming platform producers under a single game.
Nintendo, Sony's PlayStation, and Microsoft's PC/Xbox
What a crazy era we're in.
God, I love being a gamer!
You honestly had the best compilation of reactions out there, not calm at all but not crazily screaming out of your mind either, lol.
Honestly, best 3 years of my gaming life, with SORA BEING THE CHERRY ON TOP!
2:55 shoutout to that person that said Sora for Smash
Years ahead of the curve!
@@MurderofBirdsImpactthat’s nothing this guy wanted sora since they reveled 3rd party characters in brawl
You edited this video so well, had such a fun time watching even 2 years later.❤
the duality in chat gets me every time ( 36:00 )
djtwitchteder "oh i still have no clue who this is"
thebrigitte27 "MY CHILDHOOD"
You love to see it, LOL!
This REALLLLY hits. Smash ultimatr was the game that got me through high school because of just how hype it was building up to its release, and then the dlc that game after, what an amazing experience and i love it to bits. So so happy to get to see arnold just as excited as me, cant stop the huge grin of my face when watching this
49:38 The Famous line from ALL the Smash reaction. It should be a meme. lol
dude this video got me feeling a lil emotional, got choked up watching lmao-
The End of an Era indeed. I'm gonna miss these reactions. Smash always feels like an event.
Watching all of these made me tear up multiple times 🤣. Sakurai and this game are out of this world. I can’t believe that any of this is possible. So much joy has been brought and shared because of it all. Loved your reactions.
it brings me so much joy to see people get so happy and excited over their favourite characters and franchises coming together
I love coming back to this video of all the combined reactions.
That inkling reaction is amazing. Dude you earned my sub
Banjo and Kazooie is out-
today?
*TODAY*
yes toda-
*WOAA-!?*
Watching this directs and reveals as the years went by was an absolute experience that I honestly don't think could ever be repeated again in my life.
25:57 “I JUST WOKE UP, WHAT I MISS”
clearly alot
I love how he goes crazy for everyone, but then straight cackles at Steve's.
I swear smash announcement reactions are a whole other kind of content
EXACTLY! I just said this in another comment, but Smash reveals were an event all their own. It's the only game that I know where it seems like the whole world stops what their doing, they watch/react to the trailer, they walk about on social media all day and they everyone watches reactions on TH-cam. I'm SO gonna miss doing these.
@@MurderofBirdsImpact Your reactions to the reveal trailers beginning to end was awsome, one of the best on youtube, a lot of positivity and hype. Thanks
I still get goosebumps when I watch the first announcement when it was shown that all the fighters were brought back. It was so cool how all the fans freaked out.
GOAT Video, thank you murderofbirds
Your reactions are so genuine and fun to watch friend. Cheers.
If these reactions are indicative of his general disposition, MurderOfBirds is one of the most positive, delightful, and entertaining people on this site. Thank god for him.
Let’s gooooo. What an awesome way to get this channel started ❤️🔥
I agree! There's so much hype around Smash and Sora that I felt it would be a great way to cap off the series, and usher the gaming content! And thank you for being the first-ever comment on this channel!
@@MurderofBirdsImpact ❤️❤️❤️ happy to stick around!
48:17 when I watched this part I got so hyped and it’s so funny to watch his reaction when he screamed
Bro got the best reactions out there. Keep it up!
Ah, the good ol' days. I think that Sora reveal was the last time I felt true happiness
Your joy is infectious and reactions made me smile. Really makes you appreciate how much work was put into Smash Ultimate. Thank you Sakurai!
These reactions were so entertaining! I’m kind of surprised you don’t have more subscribers. Keep up the good work :)
