Today I learned that, way before the "Ridley is too big" meme, people were requesting Lugia for Smash
Bey Dey EXACTLY LUGUIA IS LIKE 17 FEET TALL

It makes me feel so incredibly weird knowing that the internet was, at one point, in a state where Masahiro Sakurai himself could just ask on Nintendo's official website "Yo, who do you guys wanna see in Smash 2?" as what may be peoples' first time hearing of a Smash 2.
It feels like such a far cry from today, where every character is announced like a month beforehand and probably began development very soon after the game actually released.

true
@@iswiftyfox8997 Thank you for this interesting insight
@@CabeliotCometier shaved ballsacks?
@d R The internet was _different_ then, let's not pretend it was all fun and no drama ever. Everything was largely unmoderated so there was almost no repercussions to people doing heinous things. Like old-internet is where Goatsy and Mr. Hands became almost casual memes, posted anywhere for shock value and nothing more. There are problems with modern internet for sure, and I absolutely mourn the death of forums for a lot of reasons, but there is bad shit on both sides. Also those games still exist, lots of them anyways, people have backed up thousands of them. But uh, shockwave was made in august of 99. That's not the internet people are talking about, not the 2000's internet, that's a very very different thing than the 90's internet.
Sakurai personally made sure that all 18 of the fire emblem voters could each get a character
I personally feel like the amount of fire emblem characters is good there’s 16 games and there’s 8 Fire emblem characters in smash after Corrin came out lots of hate came toward fire emblem but when Chrom came out (I think it was him) every was exited so much but then byleth came and made everyone start hating on fire emblem I mean the Mario weird has 9 characters and nobody complained about them I personally think it’s a good amount characters to respect the franchise
@@Mech126. i think byleth had really bad timing as the potential final dlc so people were especially upset. Also I think the main reason fe characters get hate is because they all have somewhat similar disjointed movesets and playstyles so to alot it feels like a bunch of slightly changed echoes. byleth, robin, and corrin are the only really unique ones.
@@mini8964i agree with you lots of them do have similar move suits I’m pretty sure 2 are echos so we have 4 characters with the same move which is half of the characters and a thing to add is that corrin release for Smash4 DLC made people hate on fire emblem and byleth put the cherry on top I have not seen one positive about corrin or byleth and 2/3 Unique characters that you mentioned are the most hated members of the cast
@@mini8964 I mean, if you remove the actual echoes (Chrom and Lucina), then all 6 FE characters come from different games and have very different play styles in Ultimate. Roy, Marth, and Ike are extremely different from each other.
Plus, each era of Fire Emblem is represented:
Marth: First game/Kaga Era
Roy: GBA
Ike: GCN/Wii
Robin, Corrin, and Byleth all represent Modern Fire Emblem, but do so differently by being Awakening (Game that saved the franchise), Fates (Where the idea of "modern" FE was crystalized, and also newest when Corrin came out), and Three Houses (Newest in the series).
I think Lucina is actually the biggest source of FE's representation "problem". Since she was added in Smash 4, she made 4 reps at base and 2 more after DLC, for a total of 6. And Smash 4 was the first one after Awakening, so 4 reps probably felt fine to people (especially with 2 being from Awakening itself). And sure, Lucina is a clone, but that's fine. Roy was a clone too, and at least we don't have 2. Right? Then Roy released for DLC, and despite his game plan being significantly different from Marth's, it was easy to draw the comparison due to shared animations. Then Corrin came out _Between Cloud Strife and Bayonetta_ when Fates hadn't even released in the US yet, and people immediately hated because of how blatantly their addition was meant to be an ad. This also made people consider that 2 of the 7 DLCs were from Fire Emblem, so people started to deride the series. 6 characters, half of which are clone/semi clone and one is a blatant advertisement (not to mention the other two were hot garbage)? Too much for most people.
Chrom gets added in Ultimate, and the Echo distinction helps ppl calm down a bit. But now Awakening has 3 reps, and FE has 7 total. So people were already a bit antsy (especially since Fates was terrible), but not a boiling point. After all, there's so many other characters. Then Byleth dropped, and it was Corrin v2. Bad release timing, blatant advert for the new FE. And who cares that they have a neat gimmick and are competitive without being toxic? It's another Marth. Doesn't help that Lucina, Roy, and Chrom are top tier in Ultimate due to the engine heavily favoring sword characters, so most of the FE cast is at least playable (except Marth. Hopefully Slingshot helps buddy).
Without Lucina (and maybe if Corrin was either before Cloud or if Fates released earlier), Smash 4 community probably wouldn't have been so toxic regarding the FE representation. And without Lucina, Chrom probably doesn't come along either, so just +1 rep on the 5 from Smash 4 instead of "yet another one" adding to 7 existing ones. And ppl might actually notice that none of them play the same if there weren't two literal clones in the mix. Oh well
@@researchinbreeder another thing to note: fire emblem has different stories with a new cast of characters. at most, games tie together in duos (the exception being archanea, which has three games tied together, as well as a distant sequel). as a result, there are a lot of lead characters spearheading the series, and only one character has made recurring appearances through multiple storylines (anna). roy was the most recent protagonist when melee came out, ike was most recent when brawl came out, and so on
that said, they could avoid bloating the playable cast by making use of one feature: assist trophies. many people see ATs as a death sentence for potential fighters (a rather spoiled and entitled mindset if you ask me), but i see it as an honorable mention where characters who did not quite make the cut can still fight. oddly, FE has very little AT representation despite its huge cast of characters and emphasis on controlling an army. honestly, FE has notably poor representation in general outside of fighters and music. four stages where three of them are rather generic, three assist trophies, and only one item. then again, the fanbase seems to only care about fighters, or at least the vocal minority does

All from Japan
@@therealjaystone2344 Pretty sure the site was in Japanese.
@@FortWhenTeaThyme It was. You can tell the page was translated via google or a third-party based off of a few names like "Ganon (droff)" and "Mars" which would have been officially translated as "Ganon(dorf)" and "Marth" respectively. There are certain numbers like 10 and 15 written out as "ten" and "fifteen". The most glaring is the rough translation at the top that says "It is the total result of the character that you want to appear if there is a Smash 2 recruited in the post column." There's a few more, but those were the most obvious factors.

So long!@@SadMatte
The real thing to respect here is that Sakurai gradually learned his lesson regarding character balance. I don't think anyone after SMASH 2 came out could've predicted Bowser - or any heavyweight for that matter - to ever become a viable, good character. But Ultimate seems to have got it covered very well. And it was mostly just capitalizing on what makes him good to begin with; he's still slow and big, but he punches even harder now and, probably most importantly, he's got some BIG BOY RANGE - the days of hitboxes not covering visible parts of the body have been diminished.
It's good to see.
Ultimate Bowser, slow ? Lol
Ultimate Bowser is the fast heavyweight, with DK being the long range heavy weight and DDD being the heavy weight with great recovery.
So he may be big, but he ain't slow. Sure, he is no Sheick, but slow? no

@Citrus Gaming pichu is without a doubt one of the best low tiers. From my experience playing pichu, and in the opinion of some top players, most notably Mew2King.
@Citrus Gaming yeah, i guess if joke is a synonym for serious. Like legit i know he uses the character to troll, but listen to his reasoning, plus when's the last time you saw a recent Melee tier list put Kirby above Pichu?

Bowser runs like that in Super Mario RPG.

It seems to me that Bowser was supposed to have 6 frames of Jump Squad and Giga Bowser 8 frames of Jump Squad, but they f***ed up and got it reversed. And why does he lack a grab hitbox in his claws? What the heck?
jank
That running geab is so fucking bad even an extra hitball wouldn't make the range good
probably a filename mixup
It's not fair comparing his grab range to Marth's since Marth's grab covers the entire stage.
wdym? It covers 3 different tv screens in totally separate matches
@@jawg0 Yeah, I remember seeing a melee tournament that had to shut down because Marth kept grabbing people who were in separate matches.

@Jeeses99 We can all agree that no super heavy in ultimate is nowhere near as trash as Melee Bowser. Ridley is just heavy, and even he is alright. Not great, but usable, a massive step up from the old Koopa in his debut

@@codydavis5525 Hell yeah! Dab me up on that, homie! Sm4sh was the birth of a new era for heavyweights, and most importantly, the king koopa.
They did him justice in 4 and ultimate tho. He's terrifying to fight there and that's exactly the feeling you should get when in a fight with a giant demon turtle.
It’s impressive how they took out his up throw/up air combo and still made him just as good in Ultimate as in Sm4sh.
Justin Champion Justin Champion well new smash games don’t really have combos so of course he’s better for different reasons
@@NoctuaOlivae dude do you even Mario, sheik, joker, ness, roy, lucina, fox, falco, wolf, greninja, cpt falcon, young link, toon link ? Just to name a few in ultimate ... There are nasty true combos in ultimate.
Farouk Lopez I mean more than just two hit combos, or combos that use the same move over and over to juggle at low percent.
@@NoctuaOlivae I feel like you haven't watched much ultimate content. Of course, the hitstun is lower in ultimate, meaning combos aren't as free flow as in melee. However, almost every character Farouk just named has a deep, complex combo game going beyond 2 hits or chains of up tilts or whatever.
Don't forget that Bowser has the highest landing lag from a normal jump:
6 frames! DK and Ganon have 5, the rest of the cast has 4, and Pichu has 2

Down smash/neutral b can clip people recovering low to the ledge.
Bair sends them at a filthy angle.
Command grab can combo into platform tech chases, and it's a kill throw if you throw backwards.
Just a few more things he has going for him.
Side B is also like an aerial grab, and you can likely see how that would be incredibly good for certain situations.
Have you seen the hit box for his command grab. I cry every time I see it. I want to say it's actually worse than his normal grab because you have to be smelling bowser's breath to even start worrying about getting grabbed and if bowser whiffs it's the same type of dread that hits you when you come home from work and realize you left the refrigerator door open.
:(
But as always, they changed to Bowserscide in next smashs
I think 4 make it "viable" to the people that just have one way of play like combo always
>Implying you can hit bowse bair
Not only is his command grab back throw a kill throw, it's the strongest in the game, with better scaling than Ness or Peach.
Can we stop for a moment and appreciate the fact that James Bond was the sixth most requested character
LMAO
That would of been lit
"Fire Emblem Character" may have had 18 votes, but marth himself (Mars) had 21. If you were to combine both of them then he would have been just under Dedede and just above Ganon
Exactly. And to be fair, by 2001 Fire Emblem had 5 games, so picking one out of a series with a large number of characters wouldn't exactly be easy, so counting those votes as being for Marth/Roy isn't really unreasonable.
@@CheapShotFail Also, I don't know what regions were able to participate in the vote. If it wasn't only Japan then the Fire Emblem votes are quite large as I am pretty sure none of the FE games were released outside of Japan at that point.

Considering that "Fire Emblem Character" would have been Leif or either Sigurd/Seliph instead of Roy makes me wonder how much more popular the Jugdral saga would be if either of it's lords were in smash
Imagine a world where Thracia 776 is considered peak FE and everything after it is pandering to casuals (instead of as it currently is, an extremely unfair abomination that is only played to demonstrate how hilariously dumb it is)
@@RagnellAvalon The only thing that's unfair about Thracia is getting sniped by Status staves off your sight in Fog of War maps, otherwise it's just "Abuse the Warp Staff and let Asvel kill every boss", The game
I imagine little would have changed, at least outside of Japan. Roy is one of the series' most popular characters thanks to Smash but his popularity hasn't really rubbed off onto the game he comes from and the only reason Elibe is really remembered at all is because of Blazing Blade being the first game to be localised.
My bet is that the only notable difference would be seen in what games get more representation in Heroes and _maybe_ which games will get a remake first in the future.
@@RagnellAvalon Now that's a bad take if I've ever seen one lmao.
Did you even play Thracia or have you only heard stories?
@@RagnellAvalon Ah yes, the "thracia is unfair" strawman that people who haven't played it use as an excuse. Listen buddy, a game with so many infinite range warps and weak enemies (for the most part) could never be hard, the game is just cripted on some aspects, but that's the nature of a good amount of old school RPGs, and it's not hard to catch up on what's going on, and when you do, you can easely deal with it.

For whatever reason, I thought this was a secret move because it wasn't in the guide book we had. I didn't notice it was the same as dair (which I might have never done because I'd always down b in midair). He even believed it was, and well into our teen years he even refenced that I knew so many secrets about bowser. x3
2:44 not exactly, the wireframes have a 7 frame jump squat, fun fact!
"Is there anything good about Bowser?"
Well, he dummy thicc.
Bowser in melee: big bad
Bowser in ultimate: lmao neutral B go 50%

Project M Baby! I’ve always wanted to give it a try.
So long gay bowser. 😭 atleast he's finally ok in ultimate
He was pretty ok in 4 as well. Better than melee atleast
@@MrNachtara Everyone is bad in Brawl unless you're MK, ICs, Diddy or Olimar.
@@MrNachtara Most characters are in the not viable tier in that game I'm pretty sure lol.

hes fucking great in Ultimate wtf?

"Is there anything good about Bowser?"
well, he's a really cool character in the Mario games and also a fun character to play as in his own game (Bowser's Inside Story)
"Who wanted to play as Baby Mario?" more like "Who wouldn't want to kick the ever loving beejeepers outta Baby Mario?"
Whenever I watch stuff like this and think of someone dominating at lower levels or local tourneys with a widely disliked character in Bowser or a E. Honda, I love that a player took the time to learn them so much that they can just push through the inherent disadvantages.
But then I also in the back of my mind hear the ghost of Sanford Kelly.
"Just pick a top tier."
The fact that James Bond tied for 6th place with Mewtwo is absolutely amazing
Alright, I'll have to take a word with y'all...
This whole thing of being Bottom-Tier is actually a wicked conspiracy to make me look bad because I'm a villain.. think about it, between Ganon, Mewtwo, and myself, none of us is a High-Tier, and that BS comes from moralism, take Fox, Falco, and Marth as an instance, they're all heroes, so they're actually good to the eyes of people, it's the complete opposite with us villains.. society hates us, and wants to see us below the dirt..
Yeah, it's true that using characters like Fox you'll win easier, but that's the point, you want good results with low effort, that's why Fox is ridiculously overused and overrated to begin with, but true men don't want the easy way.. true men don't select a character because it has a good frame data, true men yearn for a challenge.. true men won't get carried by a character, true men CARRY their character all the way up(pretty much like HBox did)...
So, overall, here's my conclusion:
Chads learn how to use Low-Tiers
Virgins learn how to use High-Tiers
and that's how it'll be for the rest of Melee's lifespan.
DJ Nintendo would be proud these words boy
But don't worry, he opened my eyes and I too realise your potential. Let's keep hoping someone picks you up, I know you can do it.
I know man, I know.
@@Sians5769 I don't, however
@@tammid8423 fair point
@@Sians5769 hehe get it
5:35 Sorry for being that one fan that nitpicks a single slide of data.
Kage made top 8 at Canada Cup 2017 (sick run btw), and at ROM 1 and 2. Bizzaro Flame got 9th at Kings of Cali 4... As well as both of them taking a game off Armada. Also, Kage famously double eliminated Mang0 when he was the best in the world.
Ganon has the potential to top 8 a major, and has done so. He just doesn't have much representation.
The rest of the video is incredible :D
you're 100% right, my bad!
Not anymore... Ganon was considered a much more viable character when the metagame was slower. He had a much easier time landing hits and getting early kills. Now the metagame is so fast, it's basically impossible. You can still win lower level tournaments against lesser players that don't know the match-up, but forget about it against any high or top level player.
Tbh, if there's one character with the potential to make some unexpected noise at a major, even today, it's Young Link. He has some glaring weaknesses, but at the end of the day, he's fast and can space very well. We've seen what he can do when played by Axe and Armada, and they don't even main him. All that said, it would take some serious skill and commitment for it to happen, but the potential is there.
@@nahor88 Weirdly enough, this same thing is true in Ultimate. At first, Young Link seems to just be Link with weaker attacks, but god, his combo game is nuts when played right!
“Even if your character sucks ass, don’t let it stop you from having fun.”
*Mains top-deck Hero in Ultimate*: Hell yes.
I remember how sluggish and unresponsive he was back in 2001, so I’m super appreciative that they redesigned him for ultimate, hell he’s even my main now.
I absolutely love this new video format
The "Can't" tier
XD
0:16 well this aged well
Bowser did give us the greatest bit of commentary ever
"Ooooh toss dis...."
My question is, why does Up B sound like youre casting a spell on Vvardenfell?

your voice is so relaxing like if i had it i would fall asleep every time i took a breath like omg it is soooo chill
5:54 hey asumsaus, I just wanted to let you know that yes, someone did notice the panning work you did on Bowser’s roar. Thank you, idk why I was listening to this on headphones either.
if only people back in 1999 knew how to reset there page data so they can vote infinitely lmao
And now he’s one of the top tiers in ultimate. What a world we live in. Crazy where he came from and where he is now.
1:27 Imagine how absolutely fucking hilarious it would’ve been to have JAMES BOND in smash
Lets say a hypothetical "Living TAS" played bowser. Everything frame perfect, knows its opponents actions before they do, ect.
How far could it get?
depends on if it can read the inputs of the other player.
if yes: he instantly wins
if not: he's not even making top 8
It's hard to imagine that pichu has a even battle with bowser
As a S4 Ganon player, I can relate to all these struggles more than I'd like.
Ganondorf was and continues to be the biggest insult in smash. In Zelda he’s a fast graceful wizard who’s a master of dual swords, small swords and the trident. ( he’s never used a giant long sword in any game and was never slow or heavy) he levitates while shooting magic lightning at you and tricks you into thinking he’s slow in tp just to glide toward you and hand link his ass. He was never slow or heavy and I’ve never seen him punch someone before, I’ve seen him backhand Zelda, kick link and choke a ghost to death, but other than that he relies on graceful dual sword, single handed sword combat and ganons always seen with a trident except for oot versions dual swords. Anyone who doesn’t know Ganondorf is getting the complete wrong impression of him.
5:36 fourteen. make that fourteen. LET'S GO JUNEBUG
5:02 homie playing bowser basically said “ok, ok, you got me there, bro, gg’s, i learnt my lesson, maybe next time i won’t play as the bows”😭😭😭😭😭
1:39 vroom vroom I’m a car
As an aside, it is legit insane that Goldeneye 007 on N64 was *so* popular that JAMES BOND was a top demand for Melee.
