YES IM AWARE IVE PLAYED VERY FEW GAMES but at least i can appreciate the trailers for what they are as opposed to only caring about the character lmaoo what're your takes on the best reveals tho? do ya disagree with my top tier picks?
i know i’m biased but i think joker should go up to S for not only the fact that he started off the fighters pass very stylishly in fact but also because yo my knowledge he’s the only fighter where you didn’t initially know it was smash. i think it’s increasingly cool and among the more unique trailers
I think Joker’s reveal is S+ because at the game awards the lights went out as it went on screen, making it look like Joker snuck into the game awards to steal the smash invitation, it was AMAZING
Disagree. For everyone that doesn't care about Persona, Joker's reveal is at best B-tier. It's bland, nothing happens, and without the 'persona knowledge'-context, makes no sense. I hadn't even heard of the franchise before Joker's reveal, and I completely forgot he got a trailer in the first place until I watched this video.
He said "I didn't really know much about/who ___was" a good few times in the video. I was beginning to think that it would make a good drinking game whenever he doesnt know about a character before smash.
Fun fact: When it says "Lucas comes out of nowhere" its actually not only a reference to him being thrown in last minute but also to the nowhere islands where he's from in Mother 3.
I like that he’s not like every other smash TH-cam’r and is like “I’ve been waiting for this character since I emerged from the womb”. As a casual fan it’s actually really nice haha
@@TCNick3 Glad Sora is S+, because even though this is the end Smash as a franchise, this is the beginning of A new era in Smash Machinimas and the beginning of Disney’s downfall.
@@TCNick3 Understandable, I'm also the casual type who doesn't dig too deeply into too many games, though once I do find a game I like, I milk it 'til it's dry. Now I'm considered one of the OG encyclopedia people of the Ace Attorney franchise. And your AA playthroughs lately have been polished gold, thank you.
I was working at the time of the reveal and I had found out about it during my break. I didn't look much into it because I thought that Sephiroth had to be fake because I didn't think a 3rd party game would have 2 unique fighters and I was holding out hope that it would be someone I wanted. When I was done working and checked out the trailer for myself I was a little upset if I'm being perfectly honest. I mean, another anime swordfighter isn't the most exciting archetype and I wasn't overly familiar with Final Fantasy. The trailer completely shifted my opinion though. He seemed like he was really unique in both his playstyle and character design compared to the rest of the roster. This was the first and only time that a trailer had made me hyped for a character that I previously didn't really care for.
Not gonna lie, the Everyone is Here trailer is my favourite trailer, ever. Not only was it immensely hype, but I still truly believe it's still extremely hype to this day. I still get shivers watching it. Plus, it was in the first Direct I ever watched, and it was also watched by me live too. I can't forget that.
i was really into metal gear when the reveal came out, and when i learned snake was coming back, my entire YEAR was made. no other trailer would hype me up like that, though joker's was pretty close.
I think my favorite part about the Steve reveal is how just after it officially drops there's this awkward silence where Mario stares at em just as shocked and confused as the rest if us were.
I feel Sephiroth's reveal should be an example on how you want to to a reveal trailer enjoyable and hype even for people that don't know the character. I think it helped that his theme fitted perfectly the situation
For me personally the best of the best trailers were Everyone is Here, Steve, Joker, Sephiroth, Mega Man, Sora and the original Smash Ultimate/Inkling trailer in that order.
for non snk fans it may seem that the terry trailer drags on for too long because “it’s obvious that it’s gonna be terry, he’s the protagonist after all” but it doesn’t work like that, it wasn’t a fatal fury trailer, it was an snk trailer (mainly a kof trailer with a little bit of samsho) and there’s a lot of “protagonists” in there, seriously, from the characters that appeared in the trailer, kyo, Ryo, Iori, and even nakoruru could fit perfectly into the smash roster because each one of them represents very well the franchises they’re from, I genuinely thought Iori had more chances to enter in the roster than terry
This was exactly my thought. I had assumed it was going to be cross promotion for the new Samurai Shodown, so my first thoughts were Haohmaru and Nakoruru. SNK loves putting a different character in each crossover. Iori in Million Arthur, Terry in Fighting Layer, Geese in Tekken, Hauhmaru in Soulcalibur. It seemed like Kyo had a real shot too. Also, the beginning was a King of Fighters reference. It definitely wasn't a Fatal Fury only affair.
As much as I loved the Terry trailer, I WAS secretly hoping for a metal slug rep. It of course made infinitely more sense to include Terry, he's a fighting game character, from a company who primarily makes fighting games.
Ok, the Byleth flying bit was actually a reference to a conversation in-game. After the "Forbidden Spell of Zaharas" thing and Byleth gets their power-up, you talk to Petra and she asks if you can fly now. The response options are basically "No" and "I don't know" and if you choose the latter, she says we'll just have to wait and see.
I’m sorry how was Terry’s reveal so low? I didn’t know who Terry was before smash. Yet I loved it. It was kinda fun seeing all the people trynna grab it. And I loved the pixelated animation, it reminded me of my favorite era of gaming which was when games looked that way.
Terry’s trailer was the only trailer that managed to “hype” one character, then then kill it immediately after, the moment, the moment Iori apeared with eyes closed, I was basically 100% sure it was going to be him
For me Sephirot will always be the most hype. That split-second in which my brain processed the One Winged Angel beginning and coming to realize who it was before they showed him on screen... Man, I wish I could forget it to experience it again.
For me not even Sora's or ANY OTHER reveal beats Sonic's At the time Sonic was that one character who people said they wanted in Smash Bros but then would be told "Never gonna happen" like a lot of us did with Sora and more than likely Steve. So for me Sonic's reveal will ALWAYS be top tier!
Knowing what we knew about Square Enix and Disney, my friends and i were super doubtful about Sora ever making it into Smash, even despite being the highest-requested character ever. One of my friends even said going into the trailer that if it was Sora, he'd learn how to suck his own dick. WELP
"I'm putting Greninja up with Charizard because they're in the same trailer" *puts Dark Pit in D tier even though he's in the same trailer as Palutena*
i think he might've explained it wrong but if u think abt it it's most definitely cuz dark pit got no splash screen nor gameplay footage while greninja did
Terrys trailer had a lot of references from the old fatal fury games, so i think its only truly appreciated for people who actually recognize the characters and references
It's also a masterful bait and switch. There have been enough Protags in KoF that ANY of them could have been viable had Sakurai not been an O.G. in the Arcades. Terry was a pick I never knew I wanted, because the possibility never even crossed my mind, but I am SO HAPPY he made it in.
The thing I love about the Sora trailer is that they kept Samus and Ridley as far away from each other as possible, and that Sephiroth is just awkwardly standing there
I feel that based off of the trailers alone, bayonetta should be wayyy higher. only because she wasn't leaked and was actually unexpected, then you compare it to a character like ryu who is insanely hype, but everybody knew.
You know the real reason he did that is for the salt of smash 4, if you check reaction of her reveal you notice that almost everyone got impressed and hyped for a character that who many people though it was too mature for smash
Having played Xenoblade II long before their reveal, the Pyra/Mythra reveal is easily my favorite of the bunch. Because of how they did it - bringing back the original voice cast, using the XC2 engine to make the footage, and narrating things the way they did - it legitimately looked like XC2 DLC right up until Pyra revealed the Smash invitation. And then to play "You Will Recall Our Names" as Mythra is revealed, which first plays in-game in the very battle where she joins you and unleashes her full Aegis powers, was just the final icing on the cake. If I was tiering these, that trailer would be right at the top in S+ - next to Sephiroth (redo Advent Children in Smash!? YES PLEASE!!!), Ridley (Nintendo's OTHER Biggest Badass, next to Samus), "Everyone is Here!" (no explanation needed), and World Of Light (NEW STORY MODE!!!) in roughly that order.
No matter how much I rewatch the everyone is here trailer I always get goosebumps thinking back to 3 years ago moving across the country and the trailer with the banner (which you forgot 😔) came out while I was in Texas while moving there was a blizzard and I was in my hotel watching this trailer and feeling so hyped for the release. good times
If I ever need a boost of serotonin (since my body hates making it), I rewatch the live reactions to Joker's announcement. Never touched a Persona game, but people's genuine excitement and joy makes me happy in turn. Halo Infinite's E3 2019 announcement similarly makes me tear up, but that's sadly not relevant to this discussion.
I wish Etika was still around because the community wouldn’t be shitting on all the characters they don’t want, Etika loved Arms and Fire Emblem Three Houses. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was literally his favourite game. Etika united the gaming community in a way that no other man did, which is why I’ll always mourn his death
I expect Sephiroth’s to be S or S+ I didn’t even know who he was before it dropped and I never forgot the name Sephiroth after. Edit: Ok this ended up pretty much the same as what Nick said. XD
Honestly I'd put Joker's trailer in S+ tier, I wasn't even a persona fan back then, but I was amazed when I saw it live on the game awards and also when the lights went out, it was really unexpected
I see a lot of people thinking that Terry was obvious and them saying that only fatal fury fans knew is kinda weird, because everyone was thinking more of Kyo, but when he didn't got the letter it wasn't clear who it was actually going to be.
Honestly just the fact that DISNEY allowed Sora into Smash makes the reveal for Sora S+ Also Sora being the go to never going to happen character because of Disney makes it ALMOST the best reveal.... only behind Sonic because that LITERALLY made my arm hairs stand up Also I say that JUST FOR THE CHARACTER REVEAL TRAILERS obviously the ultimate ones like everyone is here or Inklings (kinda trailer so idk weather to count it) wins because it’s hyping an entire game
Banjo's trailer was kind of genius. It subverted our expectations by reusing the first part of K. Rool's trailer, making us think that it was another villain. However, once that jiggy bounced by, we realized that the reason why K. Rool's trailer was recycled was not because it was a villain but that it was another character made by Rare. Sakurai managed to subvert our expectations while still connecting the character to the context of the trailer that's S+ right there
Even thought Sans isn't an actual character. His reveal was freaking INSANE! hearing the first few motifs of Megalovania and suddenly before you know it Sans is standing in front of you.....GODDAMN that was an awesome reveal
I feel like Joker should be at least S though. The pure shock it gave so many people was so good. Nobody expected Joker, cause he was hardly ever in n a Nintendo console. He opened the door to so many options, and was almost universally loved.
Sign of a generation-defining video game trailer scene: still getting chills seeing the scene nearly 5 years after the original airing. Case in point: the Everyone is Here scene
Now that's a worthwhile tier list - ranking every character's reveal in the Subspace Emissary. Ike definitely would be near the top, if not the very top.
You meant Konami. Koei still makes games, and besides that, they don't own Metal Gear. Btw, specify VIDEO Games when you say Konami doesn't make them anymore pls. They still make the Yu-Gi-Oh! Official/Trading Card GAME and Mobile GAMES, so they're still in the business of GAMES.
@@evanvongustav8814 thanks got those two confused, maybe because they sound similar. I forgot Konami existed. Edit: And when I mean games i of course mean video games cause they were originally a major VIDEO game publisher. Didn't think that needed to be elaborated on. Sure they make gatcha mobile games, slot machines, and trading cards but those aren't really games or (medium of games) they're known for. I'm sure no one would get confused because i said "they don't make games" and think they stopped making the Yu-Gi-Oh trading cards.
What I got from this video Nick literally doesnt playing any games, like at all Hasn’t played and/or heard of: - Metal Gear Solid - Final Fantasy 7 - Xenoblade Chronicles - Minecraft - Animal Crossing - Persona - Fire Emblem Fates/Awakening - Kingdom Hearts - Dragon Quest - Bayonetta
Sephiroth's reveal single handedly got me to buy and play both FF7 and the remake. I had no clue who he was before but the trailer and the hype around it convinced me to play his original game.
Sakurai should be the most beloved human in gaming. He brought unadulterated joy to so many of us, and the passion he showed toward bringing said joy was truly unique. He deserves the best from all of us in whatever he decides to do next, be it a new Smash game or something else. But no matter what, he deserves a break. He should take the entirely of 2022 off to relax
Super Smash Bros. is not only a masterpiece but also the dream of any gamer, having all of your favorite characters fighting and interacting together is incredible and it sad to know that after Sora is released, this might never happens again in the future (or at least not at the level of what Ultimate is)...
"I don't know who sephiroth was" nick's internet points -100 but dumb jokes aside I agree, some of these trailers were absolutely awesome and deserve the love
The Everyone is Here trailer and the Mii Fighters reveal will never not make me emotional. Everyone is Here for obvious reasons, and then seeing Reggie and Iwata in that Mii trailer, telling you without telling you that they're the most passionate people Nintendo has ever been blessed with (alongside Sakurai of course), and now living in a world without Iwata and with Reggie retired, it just hits so different.
Don't disrespect Greninja like that. That reveal was hype. Stylish, made in a way that some people thought it was just Mewtwo using Aura Sphere instead of Shadow Ball, and full of character even though the part focusing on Greninja themself was short.
Didn’t know who Ken, Shulk, Cloud, Bayonetta, Isabelle, or Sephiroth were before they were in smash…? Never played Minecraft before Steve was added…? How…?
Tbf I didnt know Cloud, Seph, Shulk, Bayonetta and Ken either I only knew Steve and Isabelle. Tho I have to thank Smash for the Sephiroth reveal thought he was just another anime swordfighter and now I know the lore and he's awesome
Sephiroth trailer is the best trailer. Inking trailer was a great trailer to get people to be hype for the game. While Sora trailer was the sad one because it was basically the ending to everything.
I have a feeling if Jesus Christ was announced as dlc for the next smash game, and he made an update video he’d say “I had no idea who this dude was for smash”
4:32 Y'know, I remember actually being hyped when I watched this trailer, and MAN it still holds up in the way of being stupidly sick for absolutely NO reason.
When I watch the sephiroth reveal I was thinking “god damit another character I don’t know about” But than after thinking for a bit I was like “Hey wait a second… I maybe do know him” and after some research I ended up loving ff7 and was finally appreciating the fact that they put Cloud and Sephiroth into the games. Now the trailer gets more hype when I rewatch it. 11 of a 10 reveal.
I respect the joker in A tier, but personally, even just for the energy alone, there’s so much buildup and the payout of simply turning the invitation around will never be beat for me
@@andresmiltongutierrezorteg2764 Well then probably he couldn’t decide which are s+ tier should actually be there because their are so many mind shattering like sora cloud sonic steve septheroth and others
YES IM AWARE IVE PLAYED VERY FEW GAMES but at least i can appreciate the trailers for what they are as opposed to only caring about the character lmaoo
what're your takes on the best reveals tho? do ya disagree with my top tier picks?
i would agree that everyone is here is the best but for second id put incineroar just cause i love pokemon
i know i’m biased but i think joker should go up to S for not only the fact that he started off the fighters pass very stylishly in fact but also because yo my knowledge he’s the only fighter where you didn’t initially know it was smash. i think it’s increasingly cool and among the more unique trailers
You should rank the Mario deaths separately
Weeb
Steve is #1
"Sonic's the name speed's my game" Is still my favorite smash quote,it's so iconic it's universally considered a canon sonic cataphrase.

speeds the sonic need my game
“yOU’rE tOO SLoW!”
Dude I’ve been a sonic fan almost all my life and never once had it crossed my mind that this wasn’t a canon catchphrase
I think Joker’s reveal is S+ because at the game awards the lights went out as it went on screen, making it look like Joker snuck into the game awards to steal the smash invitation, it was AMAZING
i agree with this gentleman 👆
Joker's reveal was 100% S+ if you caught it live. Otherwise, A tier easily, maybe low S tier.
Disagree. For everyone that doesn't care about Persona, Joker's reveal is at best B-tier. It's bland, nothing happens, and without the 'persona knowledge'-context, makes no sense. I hadn't even heard of the franchise before Joker's reveal, and I completely forgot he got a trailer in the first place until I watched this video.
i didn’t know anything about persona until the trailer it was exciting with cool music
@@CaptainDCap How can you not have heard of Persona before the reveal? Can't blame it on the trailer that you don't know much
Did you know who Mario was before Smash?
He didn't know about food before the food item in Smash
Jump man I think
He said "I didn't really know much about/who ___was" a good few times in the video. I was beginning to think that it would make a good drinking game whenever he doesnt know about a character before smash.
Wow didn't think I'd see you here lol
I unironically didn't know who Luigi was before Smash 64 lol

I didn’t even know who he was before it dropped and I never forgot the name Sephiroth after.
Edit: Ok this ended up pretty much the same as what Nick said. XD
“I had no idea who this character was before smash”
I literally cried when sora was revealed. Me. A big, grown ass, huge-bearded man. Crying because his video game character was brought into smash xD
Honestly I'd put Joker's trailer in S+ tier, I wasn't even a persona fan back then, but I was amazed when I saw it live on the game awards and also when the lights went out, it was really unexpected
TBH for me Cloud should be in S tier because of him we knew that in Smash everything was possible.
That was Sonic, or Snake if we're getting technical.
I never played smash 4 but it’s still one of my favorite trailers. I mean it’s Cloud motherfucking Strife of course it’s hype
Uhhh that was done by Sonic Snake and Ryu in my opinion but okay
I see a lot of people thinking that Terry was obvious and them saying that only fatal fury fans knew is kinda weird, because everyone was thinking more of Kyo, but when he didn't got the letter it wasn't clear who it was actually going to be.
Yeah, like, KoF has around 10 games, I was kinda mad it was going to be Kyo and when he didn't get the letter I went nuts 💀
Very good video, I think this is a really well argumented tier list. Well done!
The whole video in a nutshell:
“I had no idea who ____ was before smash, but after the trailer I knew exactly what he’s like”
Honestly just the fact that DISNEY allowed Sora into Smash makes the reveal for Sora S+
Also Sora being the go to never going to happen character because of Disney makes it ALMOST the best reveal.... only behind Sonic because that LITERALLY made my arm hairs stand up
Also I say that JUST FOR THE CHARACTER REVEAL TRAILERS obviously the ultimate ones like everyone is here or Inklings (kinda trailer so idk weather to count it) wins because it’s hyping an entire game
Banjo's trailer was kind of genius. It subverted our expectations by reusing the first part of K. Rool's trailer, making us think that it was another villain. However, once that jiggy bounced by, we realized that the reason why K. Rool's trailer was recycled was not because it was a villain but that it was another character made by Rare. Sakurai managed to subvert our expectations while still connecting the character to the context of the trailer that's S+ right there
I was expecting the fake-reveal running gag to continue with the last character, too.
I remember a lot of people saying "Dixie Kong?" before that jigsaw bounced by. Then the hype went into overdrive.
Pyra Mythra Trailer was amazing. Beautiful animation, many references and I first thought it's going to be a DLC for XC2. It had a shocking effect.
This men didn’t know half of the characters before smash lol
Sakurai: *reveals new character*
TCNick3: "So I didn't really know this character."
The guy with the weird haircut was definitely the coolest reveal.
_Any anime guy in smash_ : is he talking about me?
I would like to bring up that Pyra and Mythra were hype for the Xenoblade fans
Even thought Sans isn't an actual character. His reveal was freaking INSANE! hearing the first few motifs of Megalovania and suddenly before you know it Sans is standing in front of you.....GODDAMN that was an awesome reveal
Overall, I think the trailers have been ranked more accurately here than anywhere else. (Except for Lucas lol)
I feel like Joker should be at least S though. The pure shock it gave so many people was so good. Nobody expected Joker, cause he was hardly ever in n a Nintendo console. He opened the door to so many options, and was almost universally loved.
@@tariqmcmaster8668 I don't agree some either, but you can't win them all.
I just got here from watching Hopcat and Z rank it, and my lord is that video an atrocity. Coming here is my palette cleanser.
Imagine this your walking though the desert and then all of a sudden your whole squad starts getting bodied by a 7 year old turtle
11:29 "The first and only time you saw a spindash and cheered."
Accurate.
Sign of a generation-defining video game trailer scene: still getting chills seeing the scene nearly 5 years after the original airing. Case in point: the Everyone is Here scene
Palutena’s trailer is my favorite cause it showed me my dream of a smash anime for 30 seconds
Finally, appreciation for the bowser jr trailer
That animation with the forward smash on Mario's shield still gives me chills
Fr it was crazy
I really loved Sephiroth's reveal, It was such a good reveal trailer and Solid Snake's reveal in "Everyone Is Here!" Trailer, It was fantastic!
Not sure if this counts but Ike's entrance in subspace emissary is legendary enough to be a reveal tbh
Now that's a worthwhile tier list - ranking every character's reveal in the Subspace Emissary. Ike definitely would be near the top, if not the very top.
Watching the inkling reveal gives me goosebumps every time
Imma be honest I've never heard of the sun before smash
Fun Fact: Every time Snake is revealed, it means something Never-seen-before and crazy is about to happen.
Probably cause Konami being restrictive with their IPs even though they don't make games anymore. The fact they got snake back is insane.
You meant Konami. Koei still makes games, and besides that, they don't own Metal Gear.
Btw, specify VIDEO Games when you say Konami doesn't make them anymore pls. They still make the Yu-Gi-Oh! Official/Trading Card GAME and Mobile GAMES, so they're still in the business of GAMES.
@@evanvongustav8814 thanks got those two confused, maybe because they sound similar. I forgot Konami existed. Edit: And when I mean games i of course mean video games cause they were originally a major VIDEO game publisher. Didn't think that needed to be elaborated on. Sure they make gatcha mobile games, slot machines, and trading cards but those aren't really games or (medium of games) they're known for. I'm sure no one would get confused because i said "they don't make games" and think they stopped making the Yu-Gi-Oh trading cards.
What I got from this video
Nick literally doesnt playing any games, like at all
Hasn’t played and/or heard of:
- Metal Gear Solid
- Final Fantasy 7
- Xenoblade Chronicles
- Minecraft
- Animal Crossing
- Persona
- Fire Emblem Fates/Awakening
- Kingdom Hearts
- Dragon Quest
- Bayonetta
Sephiroth's reveal single handedly got me to buy and play both FF7 and the remake. I had no clue who he was before but the trailer and the hype around it convinced me to play his original game.
Sakurai should be the most beloved human in gaming. He brought unadulterated joy to so many of us, and the passion he showed toward bringing said joy was truly unique. He deserves the best from all of us in whatever he decides to do next, be it a new Smash game or something else. But no matter what, he deserves a break. He should take the entirely of 2022 off to relax
And probably for 2023 for that matter he deserves it
@@gn2677 I concur
this video is "I never heard of [...] before but the trailer was hype"
Isn't this kid in like middle or highschool
Super Smash Bros. is not only a masterpiece but also the dream of any gamer, having all of your favorite characters fighting and interacting together is incredible and it sad to know that after Sora is released, this might never happens again in the future (or at least not at the level of what Ultimate is)...
‘I’d never played smash bros before it was revealed in the tetris trailer, but even then I knew it was gonna be hype’
I swear this guy is like " Oh yeah that mario guy, I never know who it was before smash but goddam he is hype"
"I don't know who sephiroth was" nick's internet points -100
but dumb jokes aside I agree, some of these trailers were absolutely awesome and deserve the love
As a person who has talked to Fatal fury fans, they didn't know who it would be. Everyone assumed it would be Andy or Geese not Terry lmao
"Luigi never interacts with Simon"
Perfect way to describe the matchup
15:00 Look, I can maybe understand not knowing who Bayonetta was before Smash... but Cloud????
The Everyone is Here trailer and the Mii Fighters reveal will never not make me emotional. Everyone is Here for obvious reasons, and then seeing Reggie and Iwata in that Mii trailer, telling you without telling you that they're the most passionate people Nintendo has ever been blessed with (alongside Sakurai of course), and now living in a world without Iwata and with Reggie retired, it just hits so different.
No no no. Banjo definitely deserves s+. The internet lit up like a Christmas tree after his reveal. One of the most historic reveals.
Naaah. That is bias
@@captainmega6310 nah, i heard of banjo once before it and it was still hype as fuck
The funny thing in sora’s is that in the background you can see Sephiroth looking like “oh shit”
Don't disrespect Greninja like that. That reveal was hype. Stylish, made in a way that some people thought it was just Mewtwo using Aura Sphere instead of Shadow Ball, and full of character even though the part focusing on Greninja themself was short.
I still laugh at that reaction (I forgot who by) where they legitimately thought it was Mewtwo for a while before Greninja fully revealed itself.
most surprising thing for me is , wow there are people out their who doesn't know who Cloud and Sephiroth is before they join Smash .
Didn’t know who Ken, Shulk, Cloud, Bayonetta, Isabelle, or Sephiroth were before they were in smash…? Never played Minecraft before Steve was added…? How…?
Tbf I didnt know Cloud, Seph, Shulk, Bayonetta and Ken either
I only knew Steve and Isabelle.
Tho I have to thank Smash for the Sephiroth reveal thought he was just another anime swordfighter and now I know the lore and he's awesome
You really are the poster child of "smash brings a new audience to games that are represented in Smash"
“the most requested character”
waluigi: hold my tennis racket
Honestly I think joker would be in S tier. The way they revealed him was such a shock to everyone and was so cool
i loved when sonic basically saved the day at the end of brawl's subspace emissary
The little Mac one will always be my favorite
This man really said “simon’s trailer is mid because as u watch it more it gets worse”, as if something is supposed to be revealed to u more than once
Sephiroth trailer is the best trailer. Inking trailer was a great trailer to get people to be hype for the game. While Sora trailer was the sad one because it was basically the ending to everything.
I have a feeling if Jesus Christ was announced as dlc for the next smash game, and he made an update video he’d say “I had no idea who this dude was for smash”
Hey, imagine that, a tier list online that I agree with almost completely
4:32
Y'know, I remember actually being hyped when I watched this trailer, and MAN it still holds up in the way of being stupidly sick for absolutely NO reason.
I really liked the Greninja trailer, even if he isnt that hype of a pick
When I watch the sephiroth reveal I was thinking “god damit another character I don’t know about” But than after thinking for a bit I was like “Hey wait a second… I maybe do know him” and after some research I ended up loving ff7 and was finally appreciating the fact that they put Cloud and Sephiroth into the games. Now the trailer gets more hype when I rewatch it. 11 of a 10 reveal.
I respect the joker in A tier, but personally, even just for the energy alone, there’s so much buildup and the payout of simply turning the invitation around will never be beat for me
Sonic blew up the internet when he came to smash
Even though Sora was my most wanted character, nothing will EVER top Sephiroth’s trailer
Nintendo : EVERYONE IS HERE
Waluigi : what about me?
What’s the point of having an s+ tier if it’s the second biggest tier. It should be reserved for the 2-3 most mindblowing picks imo
It's indicative of how great Smash trailers are
And probably because their are too many good trailers to only choose 2-3 best trailers
@@gn2677 not really most of the trailers in s+ tier should be just in s, a tier should be the one to have more if not s
@@andresmiltongutierrezorteg2764
Well then probably he couldn’t decide which are s+ tier should actually be there because their are so many mind shattering like sora cloud sonic steve septheroth and others
