    The honestly coolest thing about Smash brothers is how it evolved from just being a brawler of Nintendo icons to including characters from all over gaming as a whole. I still remember being in complete disbelief way back when they first showed Solid Snake being introduced, thought it was a joke.

      Well... For Snake I was surprise but thought: "Well he started his carrer on the nitendo...then got a remake of Soli 1 on Gamecube so, it make sense."
      Same for Ryu. The moment I thoght "this is crazy" was with Cloud. Sur Final Fantasy was on the Nitendo but Cloud was a Sony exclu. Then with Ultimate... Oh man... The pure maddness. Culminating in the most imposible character ever: Sora.

    SSBU is a literally "will never happen again" event. Sakurai literally went to the hospital more than once from exhaustion to get this game accomplished, sometimes working 100+ hours a week. So many of these matchups happened over face to face meetings, many dependent on how much Sakurai is respected in the dev community. Kingdom Hearts took YEARS to untangle from licensing hell, which is why Sora is Ultimate's final character.
    Another factor is Bandai-Namco's habit of giving guest characters from other games massive amounts of both technical and lore respect: (see Tekken and Soul Calibur)

    Fun Facts:
    -Ridley is named after Ridley Scott, the director of the movie Alien, as Metroid was heavily inspired by it.
    -DK, Diddy, and K. Rool all cheer for Banjo and Kazooie because they were all from the same development team, Rare, before Microsoft bought them out.
    -Sephiroth snagging Marios overalls is a reference to the Final Fantasy movie, where he straight up stabs Cloud in the chest in the same manner.
    -Joker was announced at the Game Awards, where he hijacked the show to feature his reveal.
    -Sakurai, Smash's creator, grew up playing Fatal Fury, the game Terry is from. Having him in the game was a dream come true for him. Without Fatal Fury and King of Fighters, Smash likely wouldn't exist.
    -Kayzua throwing people off the cliff is a reference to his father throwing him off a cliff to test if he was a demon, which he did to him years later as revenge.
    -Sakurai also created Kirby, whom is the sole survivor of an attack from the main villain of the games story. Favoritism, right?
    -Minecraft is the world's highest selling game of all time, even above Mario.
    -Nintendo had a huge legal hill to climb to get Sora in the game, whom, as I'm sure you already know, is owned by Disney.

    Some context for the ones you guys didn’t know about (Becuase I like explaining things 😅):
    - Inklings are from Splatoon, basically Nintendo’s FPS without an actual guns or murder. They’re half kid, half squid, and the games about covering an area with more ink than the other team. That and the colorful urban style, it’s a very popular series despite like 2 games, about to be 3. Yeah they were part of the reveal trailer for the game Itself Becuase no one was surprised they were in.
    - Ridleys kinda the main villain of Metroid (I assume you guys know Metroid at least in name) in the sense that he’s the most iconic and refusing to stay dead. Big space dragon, intelligent, leader of space pirates, might’ve eaten Samus’ parents in front of her, yeah he’s a little evil. Was a big request for a long while. And as you can imagine, he’s a lot smaller in game, which is where the big time thing is from.
    - Simon is obvious with Castlevania, but Richter is his descendent who basically had the same job of killing Dracula except he’s a bit more fun and less serious than Simon. Hes an echo fighter for Simon, basically meaning different character, but they play about the same.
    - K Rools kinda the same in being the big bad of Donkey Kong heavily demanded by fans. He was the final boss in a lot of the older games…. Then he just stopped appearing until smash. He’s a big evil leader of crocodiles who just hates DK and his family and keeps trying to defeat Becuase he’s a jerk.
    - idk if you guys know Animal Crossing, it’s basically a life sim with adorable animals, so it’s pretty much the most casual easygoing game ever and its great. Isabelle was the secretary of the mayor (aka the player and the first AC character in smash) and she got REALLY popular, basically the mascot for the series, so actually a lot of people kinda expected her and we were right.
    -Plant was kinda a troll. Like in the reveal, no one thought it was a fighter until it started moving. It was pretty much a bonus character in Becuase why not? And also yknow fun and creative moveset.
    -Ken is also an echo for Ryu, but because it’s Ken and he’s already similar to Ryu, he has the most different moves for the echoes. Everyone expected him as an echo.😅
    -Incineroar is one of the starters from Gen 7 of Pokémon I think. Wrestling Tiger cat, the moveset wrote itself.
    -Joker is from Persona 5, an RPG series that was a spin off of a different series, Shin Megami Tensei, but is almost it’s own beast now. The games are really popular, but P5 was ULTRA popular, (and really really good; recommend it’s rerelease, P5 Royal). Jokers the Protag, base background cause I don’t wanna spoil: regular high school student, part of a gang of “phantom thieves” which is not as illegal as it sounds, incredibly stylish, they have “personas” which are basically physical powers of their personalities that only work in a different dimension, its a lot to explain but trust me, makes sense.
    - Dragon Quest is ABSURDLY popular in Japan apparently, and basically any RPG that exists is inspired by it as it’s the definition of turn based combat (also made by the same company who made FF so yeah you guys were half right). So for smash, it’s the 4 heroes from 4 different games as skins for one hero, as they really aren’t that distinct and are the self insert kinda protags.
    -Banjos and Kazooie are from….. well Banjo Kazooie, platformers long dormant with no new games for years despite beloved classics. Man they got tears outta people they were so requested and missed. Not much to explain, they’re a tag team duo, Banjos the dumb nice bear, Kazooies the sassy aggressive bird.🙂
    -Luckily you guy reacted to KOF 15, you guys know Terry. Still the mascot of that entire company, so he got the invite.
    -Byleth is from Fire Emblem Three Houses, tactical RPG series all in different medieval fantasy universes. It’s the latest game, Both versions of Byleth being teachers at an academy who basically teaches kids how to fight in wars…. Then a war happens. They bring the weapons of the house leader of the game (yes like hogwarts it’s very similar to that idea just not magic only) along with that whip sword.
    -Min Mins from ARMS, a fighting game about people with long springey arms of various uses. Sadly that game didn’t sell that well despite being a fun game (I blame it being too expensive) but the arms make a fun smash character so they were added in anyway. Min Mins not the face of the game, but she is the most popular character (even by the makers) so she was the fighter.
    -Yeah everyone knows Steve. Funny story: the reveal of it actually broke Twitter. Like right after Twitter stopped working for a bit. It was that surprising!😅
    - Sephiroth is just iconic in general so he needs no introduction.
    -Pyra and Mythra are from Xenoblade Chronicles 2, an ARPG game that’s a personal favorite of mine. Explaining the plot would be a little much, just that the kid (Rex) is more or less the co main character with those two, but for reasons involving how the combat of that game works, these two were chosen as fighters without Rex (also that they’re very popular, they get fan art on the daily). Yes they’re part of the same body, it’s complicated.
    - You guys know Tekken, Kazuyas more or less the face of the series aside from his dad Heihachi.
    -And of course Sora. No explanation needed, just that there was an official poll a long while back, and apparently Sora was the top pick. No Disney is in the game of course aside from the Mickey keychain (would hate to have to license that out).
    Man this took a while, sorry it’s so long, glad you guys enjoyed these even if you didn’t know the characters. 👍

    I might not be a Kingdom Hearts fan but having Smash Ult and Sakurai finishing up his work on Smash after all these years since 64 with Sora is honestly a beautiful and fitting finish. Only Sakurai and his ties with so many of his peers in industry can accomplish something like this and taking one of the biggest Crossover media IP created that is Kingdom Hearts finally getting into Smash, the biggest IP game mix that's not just some skins is really something. Considering the legal nightmares that is the Kingdom Hearts series due to each music piece, Square Enix and Disney's shared ownership on even just body parts of Sora, like it's truly amazing how this game turned out. Sakurai has such love and attention to detail for each of these franchises he adds in, and even in just the trailers there's easter eggs that ref things that happen in the games.

      Smash isn't about having your favorite character always introduced, and Sora wasn't mine. Not that I dislike him, but many fans wanted it. That coupled with the difficulty of making it happen, and how long they worked on it. It was a very fitting end to Smash, as we know it, if it's the end. I couldn't have imagined a better one.

    usually when a new character gets added to smash, that includes a new stage as well as new music and sometimes new Mii Fighter costumes and other goodies. my favorite reveal was Sephiroth. easily one of my top favorite FF villains and RPG characters.
    Interesting tidbits: Sephiroth is the main villain of Final Fantasy VII. his sword, Masamune, is like 8-9ft long and only he is capable of wielding it. Would take a lot of spoilage and other lore to explain, but simply put, sephiroth sorta cant completely die. anytime hes been defeated, he goes back to the Lifestream (the life stream is basically where souls go when things die and contains the memories of all who have lived. it is the blood of the planet essentially) and given enough time, he eventually comes back. thats why he says he will never be a memory.
    the angelic form you see him take at the end of his trailer is his final form during the original FF7 final boss fight.
    Funfact: Sephiroth is the only character in all of Final Fantasy who has his name chanted during his boss music. the music is called One Winged Angel. for example, these are the first set of lyrics in his music:
    Estuans interius
    Ira vehementi
    Estuans interius
    Ira vehementi
    Sephiroth
    Sephiroth

      This is why he has superior strength, agility, endurance, great healing factor and so much more.....you also saw a meteor in the background of his trailer.....in the game franchise he used Black Materia to summon Meteor which would've injured the planet and exposing its core, Sephiroth wanted to absorb the Lifestream in order to become a god that will be more than able to bend the rules of reality to his will.
      And the one reason why he always comes back is because of his undying hatred of Cloud and his indomitable will....which prevents the Lifestream from absorbing him

    Sora's trailer being the last one is also kinda special. He wasn't my personal most-wanted, but... back when the previous Smash game was released for the Wii U, Nintendo held a poll on who the fans wanted in the most. They revealed the #2 and that was Bayonetta, but they did not reveal who the number 1 was. It was Sora, but... him being owned by both Disney and Square-Enix and maybe even some other things made it especially difficult to get him in. So... for Smash 4 it never happened. Especially Disney is very strict with others using their licenses.
    So at the very end of the next Smash game, the impossibility that is Sora was actually made possible. Heck, even the director Sakurai pretty much said it was a lot of work and a nightmare to get him in. I think it's especially surprising that Disney actually let them use Mickey's face as a keyblade chain, I'd have expected them to have changed it.
    But still... no Waluigi.

    Here’s the thing about Sora’s trailer, the one thing separating it from all the other trailers here, and what makes it the best reveal of all of them. It’s the one trailer that produces a different emotion. Almost every other Smash reveal can be described with a single word: hype. “Holy shit, they added Steve to Smash!?” “Oh my gosh, Sephiroth is finally in the game!” These characters definitely mean a lot to people, hell, Minecraft is half my childhood, but Sora’s reveal can’t really be described at all. Every trailer had immense hype, except for maybe Min Min, and Sora is no different. However, the one key difference, is that you will never see someone cry over the Sephiroth reveal, no matter how sick his inclusion is. But watch anybody’s reaction to Sora, and they probably scream out right as they see the Mickey key chain. Trailer direction is one thing, but this is it, this was the final reveal for the game, it would be wrong if it didn’t have sense of grandiose to it. This is all coming from someone who has never even played Kingdom Hearts before, I couldn’t even tell you what it was about, yet here I am. I couldn’t care less about some of these characters: Byleth, Min Min, Pyra and Mythra, Simon and Richter Belmont, and even Ridley, but this game wasn’t meant just for me, it was meant for literally everyone, you’d be hard-pressed to find someone who looks at Ultimate’s roster and can’t a character they love.

    The most brilliant thing about Smash (Especially in recent years) is that it so easily introduces people to new game series.
    The biggest example of this being the introduction of Marth in Brawl (? I think). At the time the Fire Emblem series was was Japan exclusive even though it was one of nintendo's oldest franchises. Because of Marth's inclusion in Smash there was a lot of interest Fire Emblem and the games started being translated (with Awakening and Three Houses basically turning the series into one of Nintendo's main pillar franchises).
    In terms of what was introduced in Ultimate I would look into: Persona, Fire Emblem, Dragon Quest, and Xenoblade. All of these games have amazing trailers and openings with really great stories and characters.
    (I would also recommend Kingdom Heart's but you guys seem already quite familiar with the series)

    Do you know how Kingdom Hearts was the result of a chance encounter in an elevator? The same thing happened here for Sora.
    There is a video that overlays Lifelight over the KH3 opening. The lyrics line up surprisingly well with the visuals, especially if you know the context behind the characters (the song even has the same ending notes as the orchestral openings that play if you stay on the start menu long enough) .
    The best part about it is that the video was posted two years before the final character reveal.
    Isabelle's trailer was paired up with Tom Nook announcing the next Animal Crossing game.
    The Street Fighter songs were arranged by Yoko Shimomura. Before Mario and Luigi/Kingdom Hearts, she composed most of the music for Street fighter II.
    All of Captain Falcon's lines were recorded for the first Smash Bros.( This includes his Final Smash, as they were intended for that game.) His voice actor came back over a decade later just to record slurping sounds.

    I can explain this one:
    The twin characters Pyra/Mythra is from Xenoblade Chronicles 2. They are both Blades and a 500+ year old Goddesses. Blades are organic weapons given life that can walk and speak like humans and fight and live with their partners. The thing with blades is that they are immortal & can't eat and once their partner dies, their memories of living their lives with their partner will be erased and rebooted themselves. Pyra/Mythra does have a 3rd form, but that's a huge story spoilers. However, them meeting with Shulk, the 1st game's protag, again is actually canon because of the DLC where Shulk traveled to alternative universe.
    As for Persona. The Persona series was actually inspired by JoJo, but instead of being inspired by music albums or bands, the Persona monsters were based off of mythological creatures or historical figures. Joker's persona is called Arsene, who was named after Arsene Lupin, the Gentlemen Thief and Sherlock Holmes's greatest rival.

      Specifically, there was a ballot for the final character to be added to Smash 4. Sora won, but Bayonetta was the highest ranked character that could feasibly be added at the time*. Other characters such as King K. Rool were also added based on this list.
      As a sign of how difficult negotiations were, Satoru Iwata was involved before his death (Ultimate itself was one of his last requests to Sakurai). That's at least six years.
      Relatedly, this series is a love letter to fighting games. The Mario/Sora handshake is based on Ryu and Cyclops' handshake from X-Men vs Street Fighter.
      Coincidentally, the first Smash game was made due to a conversation about having a game similar to Super Mario 64, adding more context to the circle that is the handshake.

    Having just finished Dragon Quest XI a few weeks ago I'm happy to see it represented in Smash. I absolutely loved the game!!
    As far as Smash goes, I haven't played a Smash game since Brawl but I played it a crap ton back then.

    Steve and Sepiroth's reveals we're my favorite. I liked Steve because he was in NY childhood a lot and I wanted to see him in smash. I remember being in a stream chat and everyone was joking about Steve being in smash. When it happened seconds later I got so excited but I was in online class at the time so I had to hold it.
    I was excited for Sepiroth because I wanted to show my older brother. I knew he was gonna get hyped at seeing Sepiroth lol

    Sephiroth was my favorite I think. One that's a bit of a weird side-bar that you could go through is the Tekken 7 trailer for the Geese Howard reveal, it's GREAT. My favorite was watching the live reactions because it was revealed at a big fighting game tournament, EVO I believe.

    Well, Andy is in the background of the KOF stage, along with Joe who failed to catch the letter in the reveal trailer.
    Everyone who appears in the background of the KOF stage you've already seen in XIV.
    There is also Ralf and Clark (Rambo and Stryker), Chang and Choi (Iron ball and Freddy Kreuger), Kyo and Iori, Daimon, Tung, Kim, Athena, King and Yuri (the ones with the bicycle kick move), Ryo (The Invincible Dragon), Geese, Billy, Ryuji (the latter three are confirmed to be DLC in XV), Rock (Terry's adoptive son), and Blue Mary.

    - *Inkling:* Their reveal trailer (and the first confirmation trailer for Smash Bros. Ultimate) mimics the animation that started Splatoon's announcement video.
    - *Ridley:* The fact that Samus is accompanied by Mario and Mega Man could be another nod to the movie Alien (with a strong female lead, allied with human and android soldiers).
    - *Simon/Richter:* This trailer was actually the very first public appearance of the Poltergust G-00 and its Suction Shot function, which would be seen in Luigi's Mansion 3.
    - *Isabelle:* Some reactors didn't get that Isabelle was talking about her mayor going to both Smash Bros. For 3DS/Wii U and Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp.
    - *Piranha Plant:* This seems to be out of order...It was actually shown after Ken and Incineroar (in the same presentation).
    - *Ken/Incineroar:* This seems to be the only time that two newcomers from different groups are shown in the same trailer (save for Brawl's announcement trailer, I guess).
    - *Joker:* In case you're wondering, Joker's gun is actually an airsoft pistol. The Metaverse's cognitive powers (where Personas' powers are brought out) just make it fire realistic-feeling "bullets". All the Phantom Thieves use airsoft firearms as side weapons (a shotgun, an SMG, a sniper rifle, a revolver, a grenade launcher, even a slingshot).
    - *Hero:* These four Heroes' official names are: Eleven (DQ11), Arusu (DQ3), Solo (DQ4), and Eight (DQ8). Their Final Smash, Gigaslash, features the Heroes from the other seven Dragon Quests (1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10).
    (Before anyone tries to say it, "Luminary" and "Erdrick" are titles, not names.)
    - *Banjo & Kazooie:* "Raring To Go" is of course their connection to the Donkey Kong Country characters (Rareware/Rare). Also, K. Rool received the same fate as Gruntilda in Banjo-Kazooie.
    - *Terry:* The other characters in his trailer are from several SNK fighting games: The King of Fighters (Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami), ART OF FIGHTING (Ryo Sakazaki), Fatal Fury (Andy Bogard, Joe Higashi, and Geese Howard), and Samurai Shodown (Nakoruru).
    - *Byleth:* "I see - too many swordsmen, are there?" This is proof that the Smash team really knows how to collect comedy material, heh.
    (With Byleth carrying a lance, axe, and bow, the Fire Emblem roster in Smash now officially represent the most recurring weapons in their series.)
    - *Min Min:* This was the first time Sakurai called in Ryo Horikawa, the voice of Captain Falcon, to record lines - and all for slurping ramen.
    - *Steve:* His neutral special differs depending on his position - Mine while on the ground, Create Block while in midair, and Craft while just near his crafting table (to repair and/or upgrade his gear).
    - *Sephiroth:* This is LOADED with Advent Children references. Besides the obvious two - Cloud's outfit and the music playing - there's also the way Sephiroth swirls the dark clouds, his "impaling" of Mario (except not really since it's a joke), the Omnislash ver. 5, "Go back to where you belong, in my memories." "I will never be a memory.", wrapping himself in his wing...
    - *Pyra & Mythra:* If you're wondering about their conversation with Shulk, Xenoblade 2 has DLC that includes a special arena mode, where Shulk, Fiora, and Xenoblade X's Elma act as guest-star Blades. It's pretty early in the game, so don't worry.
    (Oh, bonus: Mythra's appearance here was actually made by Smash for her Spirit in the base game. Limit exposed skin and all that. This look got so popular that Xenoblade 2 got a free update with a special Aux Core that grants Mythra this look.)
    - *Kazuya:* Yeah, tossing opponents over a cliff is kind of a tradition he picked up from his father Heihachi (when he tossed the young Kazuya over a cliff).
    - *Sora:* Have you heard Smash Bros. Ultimate's main theme, Lifelight? Its lyrics fittingly work well with this trailer's situation.

    • @DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames

      Hmm. Jokers powers for the gun seem similar to Orcs in 40k. If they believe the gun has ammo then it has ammo and they can make anything possible just with imagination. Similar to turning an air soft gun into a real gun. 🙂🤗

    One thing I love about Smash trailers is that they always try to make things secret even with the subtle hints. Even if some results are mixed there is always some level of hype while other games just shadowdrop their trailers or reveals on social media, losing the surprise. (Multiversus)
    I think KOFXV showed a silhouette of the character a day before the reveal but has the name of the character in the title.
    Here’s a couple other things:
    -The flaming circle with the asymmetrical bisectors seen in the announcement and Sora’s reveal is the symbol of the series.
    -The smash invitation is based on the one from KOF.

    Please watch and react to sakurais presentations on the individual dlc fighters, they're super informative on the character as well as how they work in smash
    The best one is Terry bogard, fatal fury was the fighting game sakurai played in his off hours as a game developer, and it helped inspire him to make smash, an easy to learn fighting game. By being allowed to put Terry in smash, he basically got to put his main inspiration into his passion project that is smash, a dream come true, and you can see that with his Terry presentation

    As someone who has been playing Smash since Melee on the GameCube, the series changed my life. Introducing me to so many characters, franchises, and genres. I would not be the person or gamer I am now.
    I'd say that my favorite reveal was Sephiroth, because after I saw that trailer, I knew I had to play Final Fantasy VII Remake. Each new character that came into Smash, practically made me want to play their game. Joker with Persona 5, Hero with Dragon Quest XI, etc. Games and series I probably would not have played otherwise.

    Sora is so special to us, especially the 80's kids because he is the embodiment of our childhood and childhood dreams. To be able to go to the different worlds of our beloved cartoon heroes, befriend them, join them in their adventures and even aid them in their stories without taking the center stage and spotlight. To be able to fight alongside and even against our beloved JRPG characters from the Final Fantasy franchise (Back then with Playstation 1 as the only console, Final Fantasy was all the hype when it comes to RPGs and they were all instant classics and to this day are considered pop culture icons in the gaming world), and to make things even better, we get to see them all in one game (Cloud, Squall, Yuffie, Tidus, Wakka and even the one regret we had in FF7: Aerith).
    Sora's story is the very definition of a crossover, and the one who started the very trend and concept of crossovers. So when asked to have a poll for who should be in this ultimate crossover fighting game, it is a no brainer to all gamers, and especially to us 80's gamers, that Sora is definitely it.

    so. im sure SOMEONE said it down the line. but JUST in case >.<
    the first trailer. the Smash reveal trailer...it was kind of a "rug pull"
    those 2 chars are inkling. from Nintendo's ever cute "splatoon" shooter game. so at first glance it was assumed either a splatoon update reveal or the reveal of splatoon 3 (cant remember if smash was before or after the "final update")
    but when she turned around and saw the flaming smash logo it was,in reality, a "smash is coming out and the Inklings are the first official "new characters"" reveal...which kinda makes the, albeit simple, first teaser REALLY more of a surprise for us...cuz of the initial assumptions of a different game entirely.
    (same with issebelle. was SURE that was gonna be animal cross reveal which we had rumors off too,lol)

  • @judgem0rt1s23
    @judgem0rt1s23 Рік тому +2

    What I really love about the smash reveals is all the little details that you can easily miss unless you're very familiar with either the characters in question or Smash itself.
    Few off the top of my head:
    1. The bit where Dedede (The penguin guy) throws away his King K. Rool costume and starts laughing is a subtle/not so subtle joke about Sakurai being a bit of a troll. Not only was he the man behind the Smash Bros. series, but he has been the voice of King Dedede for some time. So in a sense, Dedede laughing was actually Sakurai laughing.
    2. In Byleth's trailer, when the green haired girl goes "I see, too many swordsman are there?", that's a dig at the fandom itself, as one of the longest running complaints in the series is that there's too many characters with swords.
    3. The one guy in Terry's trailer who fell off the tower trying to get the smash envelope is Geese Howard, Terry's arch enemy (if I remember correctly). Him falling off the tower is how he "died" in one of the Fatal Fury games.
    I could go on, but the point is there is a TON of fan service in these trailers and that's what I love most about them.

  • @acetrainer44
    @acetrainer44 2 роки тому +5

    It’s important to note how big some of these reveals were, even from the first party titles. For example, Ridley was a fan favorite first party character to put in for years, but Sakurai said that his model at the time would be “too big” and be a balancing issue (hence the “hits the big time” tagline).
    Joker was one Sakurai personally wanted, as he modeled the Smash Ultimate UI after Persona 5’s (and fun fact, he was revealed at the Game Awards the night Ultimate was releasing, and when he came out, the servers crashed from everyone trying to download the update).
    The Hero was a fun Square Enix inclusion for folks, as one of the artists for the series is Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama.
    Banjo & Kazooie were also huge fan favorites, but the license for them belonged to Rare (creators of the Donkey Kong Country games, hence them being in the trailer), who were acquired by Microsoft, paving the way for potential Xbox IPs joining like Minecraft.
    Terry and Kazuya being from other fighting games were like Ryu joining in Smash 4 (and Brazilians lost their minds for Terry as Fatal Fury/King of Fighters is a huge franchise there).
    Pyra and Mythra were also a wanted inclusion, and they even make a joke towards the fans wanting Rex to join, but couldn’t be put in due to technical limitations making it too difficult (the Xenoblade Chronicles series is definitely one to check out in the future for a Journey series, especially with XC3 coming out this year, Xenoblade X included as a spiritual spinoff).
    And Sora being in Smash is also a huge deal, being owned by Square Enix and Disney.
    Also, there’s a ton of references and nods to their respective series in each trailer if people know them. The Sephiroth trailer was a straight up recreation of his battle with Cloud in the Advent Children movie mixed with Smash

      @kibuki91 2 роки тому +1

      Terry is a lot more significant than the others. It's because of the fact that he is, in actuality, Sakurai's favorite fighting game character iirc. It was this character, and KOF'95 especially, that inspired Sakurai to pursue the idea of Smash in the first place. Without Terry and KOF'95, Smash would never have existed.
      It's crazy how Smash Ultimate is his Magnum Opus, and he was able to include his favorite character in it effectively, and it be a hit along with most other characters in the roster. That in itself is nothing short of amazing, a true example of a fulfillment of destiny and things coming full circle.

    Smash 64 only had a commercial
    Smash melee had it's cinematic intro and a special video showcasing newcomers, but neither of those games had the level of anticipation and hype that the reveal trailers from Brawl going forward brought on.
    That said, to start from the beginning and see how far things have come?
