Can we talk about how even through he is portrayed as a coward Luigi still has the determination to clear out haunted Castles? Luigi clearly does not enjoy those things and is not geared up for the job but he still goes to do it because he knows its his duty (untill the Bellmonds show up) and no one in the mushroom kingdom would do it if not him

@@jeffcarroll1990shock In Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon Professor E. Gadd makes a teleportation machine to teleport Luigi to different haunted mansions. E. Gadd probably teleported him there.
I like that Simon isn't anime'd. The original games never were, it's nice to see that they acknowledge that and keep the characters as close to their originals as possible. Greatest respect for the source material. Same goes for Megaman, they know how to rejuvenate a character.
Krystufa you do know mega Man started off as a Astro boy game before being rework to a original property also castvania art style was pretty similar to a lot of 80’s anime like fist of the North Star
@@jetheotaku Sure I know megaman has his roots in Astro boy, but they didn't just make him look similar to Astro boy, they essentially fleshed out the NES sprite in sounds, movements and proportions. That doesn't have anything to do with AB.
@@kesterfae5447 Another character like that is also K Rool. His apperance is greatly modernized with scales and respects the original DKC design, while adding details like the gem in his cape and the short tail, which is seen in other games.
The last monster that stalks Luigi is Carmilla, the floating weeping mask from Simon’s Quest. Great throwback to the first two Castlevania games on the NES.
I don't know anything about Castlevania, but I've heard someone say that her appearing makes things worse for Luigi. Why is that? (Not trying to be rude, just curious.) (edited to make it less rude because even with the addendum at the end, it could still come across as rude)
I wish more of the Smash trailers had more actual cross over vibes like this trailer: one character. in another game's environment. Its awesome and hilarious
I've seen this trailer god knows how many times, and each time I get a mangasm every time Divine Bloodlines kicks on and I hear Richter say 'You don't belong in this world monster!' although I would've preferred the biblical 'Die, monster! You don't belong in this world!'

Even thought I’ve never played a Castlevania game before, I still hold a very deep respect for the franchise. So when I saw this I immediately lost my crap
@@stevenchoza6391 Yeah, In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Luigi is deadly as hell In the current meta he is even considered to be one of the best characters in the game

Jarock316 I mostly want Ninja Gaidens Ryu Hayabusa and Blaster Masters Jason Frudnick/SOPHIA III to complete the roster from the fun flash game called Mario Crossover. 😅 There you can play the original Super Mario Bros as other characters than Mario and Luigi. You can play as Link, Mega Man and Bass, Simon Belmont, Samus, Bill Rizer from Contra, and like I mentioned Ryu Hayabusa and Sophia III. Also I would like them to be playable in smash because I love their franchises.
@@Jarock316 I think Ryu Hayabusa will make it. Though I’m not sure how they’ll differentiate Ryu and Ryu from SF, I’m guessing by including Ryu’s full name? Who knows
@@arielnatalene3006 you're right, but we actually got to fully/explicitly see Luigi's soul get stolen. Mario was completely in silhouette when he "died" in the Ridley trailer, so it could've been another Sephiroth moment.
It’s so weird for me going back to this reveal. I had never played a Castlevania game when this game launched and now I’ve played the original, Super Castlevania 4 and Rondo Of Blood and loving all of them. With no intention of stopping playing the series. It’s such a weird feeling especially with hearing the music in the background that I love so much now
This trailer showcases how diverse Nintendo can be, if they so choose. They don't only make games for little kids. They can also make awesome horror games like Castlevania. Apropos! Where's the next Castlevania game? Now is a good as time as any to give us an awesome demon hunting experience to show the Devil May Cry franchise how it's supposed to be done.
I just beat Rondo of Blood for the first time a few months ago and 2:21 makes so much more sense now. I love the little easter eggs in the Smash trailers lol.
0:19 You heard that? That scream… Oh no! IT’S LUIGI!!!!!! *HE’S IN A GRAVE DANGER!!!!! PLEASE! ANYONE! WARN HIS OLDER BROTHER, MARIO!!!! HURRY!!!!!!!!!!!*
Anyone else remember how back in the day people were SO concerned about Luigi actually dying and SO vocal about it that Nintendo actually had to post a tweet saying that Luigi is okay? Damn do I miss those days...
Simon and Richter are owned by Konami. The company name Konami is a portmanteau of the first two letters of the last names of the company’s three founders: Kagemasa Kozuki, Yoshinobu Nakama, and Tatsuo Miyasako.
Shame he doesn’t move as fluid in any of his games really. The best is Super and even then it is still a bit stiff, but that’s part of the challenge of classic Castlevania.
I remember when this dropped. I was visiting some relatives in Seattle and I was on the hype train as usual, I was thinking of who could make it into smash, the day before the direct, I was talking to my brother about who it's gonna be, i said "they really need to add Simon Belmont, that would be so cool" When I watched it for the first time, the Medusa got me convinced it was simon
Nintendo teases Luigi’s Mansion 3 without us even realizing it
Sneaky
I feel like most people thought Luigi’s Mansion seeing this.
It took me until after Luigi's Mansion 3 got announced that Luigi is carrying the Poltergust G-00 and not the Poltergust 5,000
And Gooigi is even here.
Damn genius is what it is!
Luigis new poltergust in this trailer definitely got past me until today
Simon Lashes out he holds a cross. Richter Crosses over he holds a whip.

@@jeffcarroll1990shock In Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon Professor E. Gadd makes a teleportation machine to teleport Luigi to different haunted mansions. E. Gadd probably teleported him there.

@@Devastator-cr3oh OVERDRIVE!
0:47 how did Luigi get past the fricking knights and medusa heads and get to Death?
very resilient dude
Luigi’s Mansion 3 should have Castlevania DLC where Luigi goes through the castle.
Luigi wouldn’t last long
Or hardcore mode where the ghosts now are Castlevania characters
And dies, over, and over, and over again
Or Simon goes through the hotel.
@Red Cyndaquil E gad could invent up somthin to help luigi with vaps, A sunlight gun, projectile garlic launcher, or just give luigi a crossbow.
The last monster that stalks Luigi is Carmilla, the floating weeping mask from Simon’s Quest. Great throwback to the first two Castlevania games on the NES.

I think thats Medusa. Statue clearly grew snake-like hair
EDIT! Nevermind. I didnt watch to the very ned.
@@Dahaka-rd6tw medusa
Carmilla is a vampire
Lol, how lighthearted "horror" games like luigi's mansion stand no chance against things like Castlevania, poor Luigi.
To be fair, Death is usually a late game to End Game boss. Luigi stood no chance at all
@ZachMoney yes. Dead forever
LUIGI NOaoaoO
I wonder how long Luigi would last in something like Silent hill or Resident Evil
Keep in mind that smash isn't canon to any of these respective series

Easily my favorite Smash reveal
I voted for him in the Smash Ballot, i remember when this was revealed i cried like a baby googoo gaa gaa
If you actually did that you didn't cry as a baby. You cried as a man
A man of culture
This just makes me want a new castlevania even more!!!!
Considering what Konami is doing now, I'm not sure if you really want another game from them.
with julius because we have no idea what happened in 1999 besidea drac death
The fact that these two were put in the game as bass characters instead of DLC still makes me incredibly happy
I still watch this trailer! So cool and well done. Gets me hyped ever time.
Same!
I still get goosebumps when watching this to this day.
2:27 Alucard, is that you?!!?
yes it is
Hold up y'all the likes at 69 can we keep it that way
Yep. Yep, it is. And he's 100% inspired by Symphony of the Night. From how he's dressed to his idle stance to how he moves and attacks.
Thats my boi! 😍
Even thought I’ve never played a Castlevania game before, I still hold a very deep respect for the franchise. So when I saw this I immediately lost my crap
2:10 imagine if it was the voice clip from symphony of the night
LOL
I think the coolest thing about this trailer is seeing what Luigi’s would look like if he was Portrait Ghost!
The only time they actually represent Luigi’s personality correctly in smash history
What’s Luigi’s personality? It fluctuates wildly from game to game.
@@stevenchoza6391 Yeah, In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Luigi is deadly as hell

1:17 “THIS I NEVER FEAR SIMON BELMONT IS HERE!”
The animation here is especially amazing when you compare it to the cutscenes in Brawl’s subspace emissary
“be gone you dont belong in this world monster” nintendo knew what they were doing
Castlevania DLC for Luigi's Mansion 3?

I got goosebumps at Richter's entry 😁😁😂

TWO YEARS NOW
EVER SINCE THE BEST FUCKING ANNOUNCEMENT AND THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO SMASH BROOOOS
FUCK YEAH
I didn’t even have a Switch when the hype train was going for Ultimate and i was still hyped
1:08 the best part of the trailer, when you find out for sure that was Simon from Castlevania
GOD KNOWS HOW HIGH I POPPED OFF WHEN I SAW THE WHIP
So... Ummm... Can we get another SubSpace Emissary with those cutscenes?
Putting a story together with 70+ characters is way too difficult. The only option is World of Light, Melee-style Adventure Mode, or something basic.
I mean that’s kind of what World of Light is.
Now I want remakes of Caslevania using the Smash Bros Models.
The Nintendo heroes are completed now. Simon was an important part of the Nintendo past and is it maybe in the future 😊

Don't mind me, just reliving my dream of Richter in Smash
Same, but Simon for me.
Holy shit, now I wanna get into the castlevania series, Simon looks like a badass in this!
That's because he is 😎
Start with Super Castlevania 4, it's basically a retelling of the original Simon story.
Shame he doesn’t move as fluid in any of his games really. The best is Super and even then it is still a bit stiff, but that’s part of the challenge of classic Castlevania.
Im sure at one point next level games wanted to include ghost Luigi in the game and then decide to go for gooigi
The fact that no one is talking about how Luigi just freaking died!

1:03 "You've become the very thing you swore to destroy!"

Dang I can't believe Sakurai added a Netflix character to Smash
Lmao
Can't help but feel this is my favorite trailer. I mean it's Simon fucking Belmont
I feel bad for Luigi being killed by the reaper.
2:40 the best
i loved the references showed by Richter with his holy water
Now it’s Mario’s turn to save Luigi
2:34 I come to the conclusion that these men are the ancestors of the Joestars
2:20 *HYDRO STORM*
Hades: In the shape of an L on your forehead...and Luigi is dead!!
2:46
You became the very thing you swore to destroy
In 2:17 you can see that Richter is holding the combat cross from Castlevania Lords of Shadow.
