    i knew about ditto in melee because of the super smash bros. melee nintendo power guide. (as in, the OFFICIAL guide leaked its existence.) it was a fairly late cut, as its description in the guide matched exactly how it functioned when properly implemented in ultimate.
    i never once saw it appear, and now i know why. the guide must have been written for an earlier build of the game.

    I don't think sandbag was ever meant to fight back during the Home Run Contest. I'm pretty sure it was just easier to get the mode working by classifying the Sandbag as a character, allowing it to have a percentage bar affecting how far it can be hit. The ability to shield is probably just something included in all character's movesets by default.

      I don't think so. (I haven't watched that far into this video yet so forgive me if he already mentions this but) I'm pretty sure those were supposed to be on the character selection screen in Melee. When you selected them, they would've done a little animation like Smash 64. I think that these voices played when once they did their animations.

    Another kinda cut character is leif from fire emblem5. Sakurai actually wanted to request him for smash when he saw fire emblem6 and decided to take Roy instead as a crosspromotion. I say kinda cut, because his colors still made it in as an altcostume for marth. Roy is also a very unfinished character that has most of marths data set, so it is possible that Leif was originally meant to be what lucina was to marth in smash4 due to a lack of time.(Just speculating)

    The name change for Captain Falcon's Blood Falcon costume wasn't done for religious censorship, it's because the Blood Hawk (Blood Falcon's vehicle) is known as the Hell Hawk in Japan, so it was changed to keep consistency. The Hell Hawk graphic remains in the Japanese version.

    • @TheObsessiveGamer
      @TheObsessiveGamer  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Well in Japan he had the inconsistency however between costume and vehicle, so I do still think as usual back then, Nintendo avoided any references with religion including the word "hell" being used in such cases.
