These "pointless" facts are extra interesting now that Sakurai revealed in a video that he doesn't really encourage his employees to add minor details, but they just do it anyway. Some texture artist probably spent their afternoon looking up Anglo-Saxon runes just to put an easter egg on Hero's sword.
Those details might be more about stages, especially Nintendo first parties. I would bet Hero's character design was seen by a thousand eyes, so not really something you can add to spontaneously.

@@velvetbutterflyin that case though there’s the energy type already that fits the look and lore better, while terry’s projectile doesn’t really look like anything other than fire
Hence the name "Terry", right? I guess his name's a reference to the word "terra", makes sense that he can channel energy from the Earth. That's a very neat detail there, I didn't know he could do that
@@sodajerk.7479 I mean, Terry is just a Japanese Stereotype of an "American Fighter", I think it's just a very lucky coincidence. Still cool that you put 2+2 together
Actually, the clapping opponents never show up in teams, no matter how long you wait. Took me a while to discover this too, i guess i don't really play teams battles at all.
piranha plant main here; having a triple jump would allow for so much more pressure potential I think. up air is a good juggle tool as it is, especially with the danger of ptooie as a follow up not to mention how much better f-air would become due to how you could catch someone from practically anywhere I think it'd make plant a good deal better, all in all, a big shame it got removed last minute
I kinda wonder why Piranha Plant was planned to get a third jump, maybe the animation for the third jump in the files is a placeholder that they just never bothered with Since it wouldn't make much sense for Plant to have 3 jumps as is, even if they are pretty wacky, maybe that animation placeholder was meant to be a stand in for referencing another Piranha Plant species
@@cjlite0210 I guess I can see that, but I think it'd fit her kit fairly well While it wouldn't be built around the third jump, it'd make for a lot of interesting applications. Back air especially would be more viable for things like frame traps, or even just general use Down b would be amazing at covering several angles. You can just use it again if it misses A lot of small things that would bump this character up a few pegs
Piranha plant can get edgegarded real easy so having 3 jumps allows things to become a lot easier. Also up air and ptooie gets real scary really high up.
Wouldn't really all characters benefit from an extra jump? Sure, Kirby and Jigglypuff wouldn't get that much out of it, but having one more still is nice than not having it.
@@Liggliluff Falco, Sora, Luigi, or Yoshi would get huge recovery boosts with a third jump (Sora and Falco really don't need it tho lol, they're already great for the air)
Piranha plant having an extra jump in my opinion would legitimately bump him up a tier or two. It would make his edge guarding even better than it is and allow him to get better low or mid damage combos. I’m a piranha plant main and I’m mad they changed that.
I know a bit about 3D modelling - Characters usually have an A pose if the modeler decides that their shoulders need more detail than their underarms. Obviously, whichever you choose is going to result in more detail in one and more of a low-poly, stretchy effect on the other. Terry has huge muscle-y shoulders Byleth has a coat with big shoulderpads. Mythra is a special case, it looks like if she were t-posing, her shoulder spikes would clip into her long hair. Pyra has shorter hair and shorter shoulder spikes that just barely don't clip when she's t-posing. That's my best guess.
Although I knew about the piranha plant footstool attack, it would be interesting to do a series with somewhat uncommon facts such as how snake's upsmash doesn't increase damage with charge. Something that is known but not reviewed often.
A note on the Hero (and other) taunt timing differences - if you look at when the Slime spawns, it seems like the Taunt animations are perfectly synched regardless of turnaround, and it's the blend back to idle that takes up the extra time. So it's not turning to face the camera that's adding extra frames - they account for that /w blend times - it's the turning back away from it.
For the piranha plant crouch attack, I didn’t know about it until about a week ago when I actually did it to my friend (whilst charging up my down special)… I’m a piranha plant main.
About the taunt facing things, I’ve always noticed that Captain Falcon’s down taunt is almost completely different depending on where he is facing, with him looking left being much faster and a bit more stylish in my opinion than when he is facing right.
Fun fact: if Byleth is holding an item and then turns around while charging his bow, the item will appear at the arrow tip. It’s purely visual and has no effect, but I’ve never seen anyone mention it before.
I think Plant's footstool attack SHOULD just activate every time it gets footstooled regardless of if it's crouching or not, only exception being if it's in an attack/taunt animation (yes even in the air)
@@Casual_PKBeats God dammit the one important word that needed to be written in my comment was *should* lol sorry. I think it would be cool if if it did
Ah, that makes more sense! Yeah I think having it happen for any footstools would give Piranha Plant a SUPER interesting dynamic, that'd be really cool
i don't remember if it's been brought up on the channel before (game's been out for 4 years, god help us) but captain falcon's "show me your moves" taunt is not only shorter when facing left, but it's also slightly different in that he doesn't turn to face the camera, instead simply turning his head and giving a sort of smaller, less "animated" salute i noticed this in smash 4 and the information has remained in my brain since.
I Discovered a Glitch In Training Mode, Play Olimar Then Go to The Edge of Tortimer Island and Remove All Your Pikmin and Spam Olimar’s Neutral B and You Will Have 3 Blue Pikmin (Specifically Some Where Near the Water)
Okay, it may just be me, but when I look at the runes on Erdrick's sword at 10:39, I *swear* the runes spell "Gragon Kuest", instead of "Dragon Kuest" - like, they wanted to use the Dæg rune (ᛞ, which stands for the letter D), but instead used the Geofu rune (ᚷ, standing for the letter H). From the timestamped depiction, the first rune is identical to the fourth one, and is missing the vertical lines Dæg has. And as for the spelling of "Kuest" instead of "Quest" - it's a matter of Anglo-Saxon runes not having a glyph for "Q", so "Ku" is substituted. So like, yeah, seems like it's actually the Gragon Quest sword.
I actually used to spend a lot of my time on smash wiki so a lot of the info you go over, I did know. They way you go over and visualize the trivia is fantastic and that is why I watch you, so yea. Great job as usual!
I remember one time ultimate accidentally gave Daisy Peach's smash 4 turnips in a patch so I think they might just have old code lying around from prior builds that make their way into updates.
For the longest time, I’ve heard about Piranha Plant being able to counterattack footstools from its opponents, but I never get to trigger it, or know how to do it. It was until now that I realized that this only triggers when crouching. It would be useful if it wasn’t a mechanic only for crouching, but as a quick “get off me” attack any time Plant gets footstooled, especially in the air.
38th, Love you, PKBeats! Edit: I am a Piranha Plant main, and having a 3rd jump would be a massive buff since we could do up air strings to get more damage in combos into the spike ball, and it'd help mix up falling onto stage because we tend to struggle with that since we have few options, and it'd buff our recovery which is already great, but it doesn't mean if our opponent has a counter we're just dead, so it'd get him out of the E Tier spot very easily and maybe place him in low C
Captain Falcon also has a faster left facing taunt than right facing. When he does his iconic salute, if he's facing right he faces the camera before saluting. When facing left he immediately salutes facing the opposite direction. It's not a small difference either, the left facing taunt is significantly faster.
Triple jump would make plant even MORE impossible to edge guard, and become even MORE of an edgeguarding god himself. Honestly would make him high tier.
Hello, one of the 4 plant mains here. An extra jump would be incredible for juggling and mix up for disadvantage (being juggled and recovery) I don’t know why from a design perspective they considered this though. But since characters can just go high enough to avoid certain moves, this would be great against characters who can just simply go high.
Isnt another way to check somethings element is to see if it can kill an specific Pikmin, for example red pikmins are immune to fire so if a move can kill it, it wount be a fire attack
As a plant main, an extra jump would be huge as it could increase the juggling capacity and potential kill options thanks to ball and the extra mix-ups for landing would be nice
Fun fact, one of Byleth's victory screen animations might a reference to the game over screen of Three Houses. The game over screen has all of the weapons he uses in Smash stuck haphazardly into the ground, and his victory animation in Smash has him sticking them in the ground in front of you. Could just be a coincidence, but it's not like you ever see his bow stuck in the ground any other time in Three Houses or in Smash Bros, so I think it's fair to say this is an intentional nod. Which is cool, it's like Byleth is demonstrating to his opponents "You lost."
Piranha Plant main here, a third jump would really play into his strengths. Plant’s recovery is great in terms of how far it goes, but it can leave you especially vulnerable since it hits from the side and has nothing to cover his top. I get around this by stalling in the air with his neutral and down specials, but having an extra jump to trip up would-be ledge trappers would be nice. Having an extra jump would also help out his off-stage pressure. Plant already has a great ledge trapping game, but having more options to box people off the stage would always be welcome. Plant off-stage is alright, but you can’t reliably use his forward, down, or back air because of the end lag they have, having another jump could possibly mitigate that. It might also give Plant actual good combos. Man I’m kinda peeved they cut that extra jump out now
Piranha Plant having a third jump would be cool... but I'd rather they give that extra jump to Daisy instead. XP (not literally... I mean I just wish Daisy had a third jump instead of a glide).
the left-facing vs right-facing taunt issue reminds me of the most unhinged smash bros video on youtube : "Left Cloud BEATS Right Cloud. Yes, really." by Whydo. It's an incredible watch, and I'd like it if PK Beats went over other oddities in attacks depending on the side you're facing in a future video, I think it has great potential !
As a plant gang member, the triple jump would give plant a lot more air mobility for some beefy up-air kills. His combo game wouldn't change too much but the throws + air attacks would benefit a lot. But then to justify it, they'd have to look into nerfing damage/knockback on other moves and I think they just didn't want to bother. He's gotten so few buffs or changes since launch anyways though, it would;ve made for a more unique character than who we got IMO.
Maybe the Hero voice line thing is out of an abundance of caution along the lines of, "Hmm... we don't know every word and all slang that can be used in the languages this game is translated into, what if these voice lines sound suggestive or offensive in another language?" I'm not sure how realistic that idea is, but it's a random thought for a possible explanation.
I wouldn't have minded if Pirhana Plant had a third jump. I don't really see it making it broken and it would just be a little wacky, which fits with the characters inclusion. Side note, I always find it interesting when something I think is common knowledge amongst Smash fans about the game still catches someone off guard.
An extra jump would make up air combos a lot better for Plant, probably enabling it to take stocks pretty quick and giving it a better combo game. It would also make disadvantage way better, an extra jump would be super good as a mixup tool along with b reverse side b and various stalling moves
Piranha Plant is generally considered to be one of the worst characters in the game (just look at any community tier list!), and honestly, a third jump would be pretty terrific for any character in the game to have; it'd literally just expand your options and flexibility in an extremely straightforward way, and I think it would have made Plant stick out as a unique fighter that much more. Shame they removed it.
I think for the differing text on Piranha Plant it was made to look like a bootleg screenshot so it would look like a fake announcement if it was leaked. Which does play into the whole joking nature of the character.
As one of the 4 plant players, i think a triple jump wouldn't effect gameplan too much to be honest, just help with approaching which plant isn't very good at
I don’t play plant but another jump would improve his ass disadvantage and allow for mixs up, would probably improve his advantage with edgeguarding, maybe improve neutral being able to anti air more easily because I’d assume that would be good
3:01 As a noob Piranha Plant player, I can say an extra jump wouldn’t be much help for Pirahna Plant compared to other characters. Though it would still be amazing.
plant should have had a triple jump purely so that plant can go offstage more offensively and with even less risk, so its edge game can get even wackier, and fishing for offstage spikes and bairs can get real. also a triple jump so that plant is even more dangerous to be above on the stage.
So on the charging smash attack sfx thing, I tested almost every non dlc character and this is what I got (I don't have the dlc so I can't test them sadly, I'll still put byleth tho), idk any official names for these so I guess I'll just put what I think they sound like as well as the characters that use it Sound 1 (drum beat/heartbeat): mario, dk, samus, dark samus, fox, luigi, falcon, bowser, sheik, dr mario, falco, ganon, mewtwo, meta knight, pit and pitoo, wario, snake, pokemon trainer (all 3), sonic, dedede, lucario, rob (down smash has a unique beep sound effect), toon link, wolf, villager, mega man (fsmash has a unique sound effect from his games), little mac, greninja, pac-man, shulk, bowser jr (his fsmash has a unique sound of the drills revving up), duck hunt, ryu, ken, inkling, ridley, simon, richter, k rool, isabelle, incineroar and byleth. Damn that was long, this one is by far the most common sound effect Sound 2 (unsheathing sword sound): link, marth, lucina,roy, chrom, ike, robin, cloud and corrin. Weirdly enough toon link don't use this one despite using a sword, same with ganon, mk, shulk and the pits Sound 3 (light wooshing sound..? Idk how to describe this one): peach, daisy, zelda, zss, rosa & luma and palutena. Sound 4 (cartoon whistle sound) yoshi, kirby, pikachu, ness, jigglypuff, ice climbers, pichu, diddy kong, lucas and olimar. The last sound you hear when you're offstage and ness is at ledge Exceptions: g&w uses a beeping sound, wii fit used a whistle sound and bayo uses a portal opening woosh. RIP american flag alt mario, he died for this knowledge
I always thought the triple jump was a leftover from the days the character that was being made had to be pushed back for develpment reasons and they reused the code : Banjo
In relation to the TF2 bit - even if it's not super massive, this is still super exciting since it's the first time they're really doing anything with the game in years other than updating the localization files
If plant had a triple jump, that would have been really cool. Like... just give it to him wtf And his footstool defense should just always be online too
As one of those 4 plant mains s triple jump would be huge! It would allowed for a lot more set ups with moves such as ptooie as you’d be able to launch it at certain angles off stage easier and you can do sme juggles with uair
5:13 Not only does he have a footstool attack, there is an entire google doc dedicated specifically to what characters can punish it and how.
There's a fact I didn't know...
It’s also really funny, including memes in it too.

These "pointless" facts are extra interesting now that Sakurai revealed in a video that he doesn't really encourage his employees to add minor details, but they just do it anyway.

Yeah the Dark Samus, Chrom and Plant trailers are pretty scuffed. Some intern probably took care of them last minute
Its an interesting theory but you forget that the Smash 4 DLCs used the correct font while they were made in-game with no CG.
As for Terry's attack not having a fire effect. I think that's because in KoF/FF lore, he can channel energy from the Earth itself.
Similar to how the Hadoken isn't fire either.

5:42 Fun fact: If with mods you play with Master Hand in the Boxing Ring, his name will appear with the phrase "the puppeteer".
the left-facing vs right-facing taunt issue reminds me of the most unhinged smash bros video on youtube : "Left Cloud BEATS Right Cloud. Yes, really." by Whydo. It's an incredible watch, and I'd like it if PK Beats went over other oddities in attacks depending on the side you're facing in a future video, I think it has great potential !
Well nevermind you just thumbnail-dropped the Whydo video at the end lol, I was too impatient oops
They made a last-minute choice that killed Piranha Plant 😔
LOLLLLLL "I DON'T REALLY PLAY PIRANHA PLANT BUT MAYBE THE 4 PEOPLE THAT DO ..."
This is my first time hearing about the minmin grab thing
As a plant gang member, the triple jump would give plant a lot more air mobility for some beefy up-air kills. His combo game wouldn't change too much but the throws + air attacks would benefit a lot. But then to justify it, they'd have to look into nerfing damage/knockback on other moves and I think they just didn't want to bother. He's gotten so few buffs or changes since launch anyways though, it would;ve made for a more unique character than who we got IMO.
Maybe the Hero voice line thing is out of an abundance of caution along the lines of, "Hmm... we don't know every word and all slang that can be used in the languages this game is translated into, what if these voice lines sound suggestive or offensive in another language?"
I'm not sure how realistic that idea is, but it's a random thought for a possible explanation.
I wouldn't have minded if Pirhana Plant had a third jump. I don't really see it making it broken and it would just be a little wacky, which fits with the characters inclusion.
Side note, I always find it interesting when something I think is common knowledge amongst Smash fans about the game still catches someone off guard.
An extra jump would make up air combos a lot better for Plant, probably enabling it to take stocks pretty quick and giving it a better combo game. It would also make disadvantage way better, an extra jump would be super good as a mixup tool along with b reverse side b and various stalling moves
Piranha Plant is generally considered to be one of the worst characters in the game (just look at any community tier list!), and honestly, a third jump would be pretty terrific for any character in the game to have; it'd literally just expand your options and flexibility in an extremely straightforward way, and I think it would have made Plant stick out as a unique fighter that much more. Shame they removed it.
Piranha Plant was given an echo-fighter level reveal trailer for some reason. I guess because he was Ultimate's joke character.
I think for the differing text on Piranha Plant it was made to look like a bootleg screenshot so it would look like a fake announcement if it was leaked. Which does play into the whole joking nature of the character.
As one of the 4 plant players, i think a triple jump wouldn't effect gameplan too much to be honest, just help with approaching which plant isn't very good at
4:30 That rocket was weirdly fucking funny and I don't know why
I have a kind of theory about why the Piranha Plant felt so bootleg-y: If someone leaked the trailer, people would claim it's fake and move on.
Also with plant's footstool, you can airdodgeafyer the footstool and completely avoid it lmao
I don’t play plant but another jump would improve his ass disadvantage and allow for mixs up, would probably improve his advantage with edgeguarding, maybe improve neutral being able to anti air more easily because I’d assume that would be good
6:28 mgs moment
3:01 As a noob Piranha Plant player, I can say an extra jump wouldn’t be much help for Pirahna Plant compared to other characters. Though it would still be amazing.
plant should have had a triple jump purely so that plant can go offstage more offensively and with even less risk, so its edge game can get even wackier, and fishing for offstage spikes and bairs can get real. also a triple jump so that plant is even more dangerous to be above on the stage.
So on the charging smash attack sfx thing, I tested almost every non dlc character and this is what I got (I don't have the dlc so I can't test them sadly, I'll still put byleth tho), idk any official names for these so I guess I'll just put what I think they sound like as well as the characters that use it
Sound 1 (drum beat/heartbeat): mario, dk, samus, dark samus, fox, luigi, falcon, bowser, sheik, dr mario, falco, ganon, mewtwo, meta knight, pit and pitoo, wario, snake, pokemon trainer (all 3), sonic, dedede, lucario, rob (down smash has a unique beep sound effect), toon link, wolf, villager, mega man (fsmash has a unique sound effect from his games), little mac, greninja, pac-man, shulk, bowser jr (his fsmash has a unique sound of the drills revving up), duck hunt, ryu, ken, inkling, ridley, simon, richter, k rool, isabelle, incineroar and byleth.
Damn that was long, this one is by far the most common sound effect
Sound 2 (unsheathing sword sound): link, marth, lucina,roy, chrom, ike, robin, cloud and corrin.
Weirdly enough toon link don't use this one despite using a sword, same with ganon, mk, shulk and the pits
Sound 3 (light wooshing sound..? Idk how to describe this one): peach, daisy, zelda, zss, rosa & luma and palutena.
Sound 4 (cartoon whistle sound) yoshi, kirby, pikachu, ness, jigglypuff, ice climbers, pichu, diddy kong, lucas and olimar.
The last sound you hear when you're offstage and ness is at ledge
Exceptions: g&w uses a beeping sound, wii fit used a whistle sound and bayo uses a portal opening woosh.
RIP american flag alt mario, he died for this knowledge
Did know about the piranha plant crouch attack but didn’t know about the min min grab attack power up.
I always thought the triple jump was a leftover from the days the character that was being made had to be pushed back for develpment reasons and they reused the code : Banjo
utterly based opening
People DIDN'T know that you could power up Min Min's dragon arm? I don't even have the character and I know that!
5:19 first time I’ve seen it. Neat tec
Piranha plant already can recover from the blast zone
12:15 meanwhile Banjo-Tooie fans lament the lack of a dragon Kazooie alt in Smash...
In relation to the TF2 bit - even if it's not super massive, this is still super exciting since it's the first time they're really doing anything with the game in years other than updating the localization files
I’m one of the four who play piranha, and I just say, a third jump would fix my air mobility problems
I knew about the footstool attack but I forgot about it and just relearned it lol
Confirmed PKBeats is not subscribed to Nintendo of Korea
The footstool can be airdoged with all the characters
It's kind of funny, I knew about the Piranha Plant footstool gimmick but not the Min-Min throw thing.
Kirby saying hero's spells in Japanese is adorable
What the hell?? I feel so robbed of not having Hero voice lines!!! Who cares if it's in Japanese? It wouldn't be the first time.
Piranha plant with a extra jump would help him only alittle bit
I play Piranha Plant and the extra jump would be really nice. More movement options are always nice to have
If plant had a triple jump, that would have been really cool. Like... just give it to him wtf
And his footstool defense should just always be online too
As one of those 4 plant mains s triple jump would be huge! It would allowed for a lot more set ups with moves such as ptooie as you’d be able to launch it at certain angles off stage easier and you can do sme juggles with uair
First time hearing about plant footstool, not entirely sure what scenario that's useful in, but good to know all the same. xD
