Do the names ShaiiValley, CalebisSalty, Choopo, and Raymundo 2112 sound familiar? That's because I had them all on my podcast, go check it out! www.youtube.com/@deepbluetalkshow
Another thing to take note of: when the virus infected the fighters *(like kirby, the pokemon trainer and his pokemon)* It didn't seem like they could use there normal abilities or specials exept eat, grow, and attack. So there's a chance that they might not use any type of powerful ability if their host
If steve gets infected, he's either gonna be a minecraft zombie, a herobrine (which I doubt), or one of those monster mobs that are in that one minecraft mod where mobs can become infecred and get sharp teeth
Ironic how if I ever make my au a thing he would be the first vessel too. Probably because of the powers the infected would get are similar to his (and by extension dedede).
They had to chop Marth's hand to nerf his grab range. Imagine getting ready to infect one of the characters and they get cross-mapped by Marth from a completely different stage
But could Ness use those abilities here(Healing,hypnosis,shield,Psi rockin,etc) because this could be a smash only moves here due to the fact ness said nothing about trying to heal Marth
Considering Ness has had previous encounters with zombies when visiting Threed in Earthbound, faces horrifying monsters on the daily and literally faced the embodiment of evil, it makes sense he'd be a survivor if this.
True, but his zombies didn’t have the abilities the fighters do. I don’t think his zombies have super speed or the ability to just straight up buff any of their stats
few notes: 1. notice how Dr Mario thinks he's the good guy, yet he treats his only friend, R.O.B, like absolute garbage, leaving him to die every time he's on a voyage 2. Mewtwo is one of the most powerful PokeMon ever, there's no way he would teleport away and get stabbed to death while just laying there. He has something planned 3. this "disease" is radically diverse. it turned Piranha Plant and Inkling into lovecraftian horrors that are seventeen times larger than average, but kept Pichu really tiny. what determines these factors?
I'm sad and mad he died first. On one hand, Mario knew kirby was infected (also sad and mad about that one), so why did he even try it? What was his thinking process, and now he has Dr. Mario on the line for total existence erasing. And come on man, my favorite two out back to back first thing.
@@DrakeFoster-r6tI'm pretty sure mario didn't know this was gonna happen. In the first notes, it says that they were going to check if kirby is ok when he got killed.
In the end, mewtwo has a question mark. I suspect this could mean he could be resistant to the virus. This is because in his game, Psychic is strong against poison. Since Mewtwo is a psychic type, he could be resistant to the effects, but not to just straight up dying or being attacked.
Yet psychic does not resist poison. I believe a Pokémon such as Lucario (which is Fighting and *Steel* type,) could be immune, due to Steel being immune to Poison. Offensive type matchups do not matter in this.
Actually I think he would be immune because he can survive as just a Skeleton so he just removes his own flesh to prevent infection and his magic should reverse the infection
@@Noname-ud4he By the same logic though, Pokemon Trainer and his Pokemon should've been safe due to Full Restores. And clearly, he was not. Or the Inklings should've been immune because they could just splat themselves and then respawn at a respawn point. Clearly, they were not. I think this goes off of Smash logic, not the logic of their actual games.
Fun fact: Wario canonically cannot die or become infected, as stated by the WarioLand 2 manual. I can imagine him and the other surviving antiheroes foring a rival faction with the likes of Bayonetta, Meta Knight, etc.,
What was the version of Lifelight you used for the title cards in your videos? Is it your own remix? If so is there anyway you could release a full version of it? It’s really good and gives off the haunting vibe the story is going for.
Theory: This is all going to turn out to be some messed up new Game Mode. This series places a suspicious amount of emphasis on the UI of Smash Bros, from the status cards displaying everything in %, to the end screens in the later videos that show the character select screen that even use the series' sound effects instead of something more ominous. The most damning of all for me personally, is Dr. Mario's Day 8 log. "The rules of the game", Master and Crazy Hand have disappeared, characters DEVELOPING blood, the specific mention of Stamina Mode and revival... It seems like an odd amount of emphasis to place on game mechanics and stuff if this is just supposed to be a more "realistic" world where everybody can just be killed. And it's not like this was something that HAD to be done, this stuff never came up in Subspace Emissary or World of Light itself, so why put in all of this here? This has to be a Chekhov's Gun situation where it's gonna go off later and all of these changes to the rules and game mechanics are gonna be explained, right? And my theory is that in the end, if all of the Game Modes are canon, then Subspace Emissary being a Game Mode is probably canon too, and World in Dark is gonna be a new Game Mode.
@sunsetlover123-y7c Thanks! The only thing I want to add is that I don't think it's gonna be a bad "It was all a dream!" kind of ending where nothing matters, I get why those twists are bad and why people don't like them. I think the "It's all a Game Mode" thing is going to be more of a fourth wall breaking thing. Like, everything's going to end good, everyone is saved, happy ending, credits roll and all, and then it's going to zoom out to reveal the mode select screen with World In Dark as one of the modes, silently explaining a lot of things throughout the series.
@@alarmy5211 honestly! I can just picture it now; it all takes place on the World of Light map but everything is 3D and you're in first person, you get picked to be a random character and you're forced to adapt to their abilities to get you out of situations. Meanwhile someone in the server is selected as an infected and must use THEIR abilities to catch and infect everyone. Last person standing wins.
I thought that the mushroom kingdom would be a reoccurring feature bro 😭 why’d they do my boy Luigi like that, he beats the crap out of large plants all the time
I think for me seeing the video the character I find most interesting is probably Dr. Mario, and for me the key factor is that he's arguably becoming almost as much of a threat as the infected themselves ● Dr. Mario is already a character who knows he's good as dead even if he "survives" due to being essentially a clone of a character already killed by the infection. ●Then you have the fact while he's probably the biggest assist for the survivors back at base he's also probably the one that at this point is putting the biggest risk due to his own paranoia, at the point he is at almost any newcomers he's obsessively paranoid that they are "secretly" infected. And oddly enough because he gets sloppy and doesn't make sure the Infected Pichu was dead he actually by proxy gets Mewtwo killed...or even worse infected. The ladder is arguably the worst outcome, because it'll just feed into Dr. Mario's paranoia, he "knew" Mewtwo was infected and if the incident with Pichu did actually infect Mewtwo then it'll "prove" that he cannot trust anyone else. Honestly, to cut the rambling short. Dr. Mario at the point he is at is essentially becoming that utterly paranoid doctor in almost any infection/outbreak show you've seen or heard of. And that path could lead to a lot more danger for the survivors within, they got monsters outside and paranoia eating at them from within...
It’s because of his sanity, regularly mario would be really trusting, which is exactly why he died to Kirby, doc is essentislly key to bringing people together to stop the infection, if he dies or gets too sloppy, the universe could fall right then and there, i wish this was interactive like the actual game, and you can choose your ending.
As a inkling main, I just wanna say how potentially dangerous they could be in this infection. If the virus were to enhance in such a way where they could be inside the inkling's weapon, and to be detachable as well, or to spawn on the infected inkling's ink, it would be incredibly easy for them to start spreading the virus. One might not do much, but imagine a team of them. All they needed to do, is to ink the entire area, and with special moves like Splashdown and Ink Rain, as well as a variety of weapons, they could very much do some major damage.
also seeing how the infection works with the hosts personality (like pokemon trainer wanting to catch mewtwo), the inklings probably want to ink as much places as possible
Combine this with the fact that Mewtwo is probably going to be in a 5th phase since the ? after showing he was infected leaves a sense of mystery, the author will most likely make mewtwo a very powerful infected, and since he has psychic abilties he can teleport, so the infected can teleport these inklings into areas where they can SWEEP surviving members
On the topic of weapons, lets throw a theoretical in this. Imagine there's eight infected inklings (one for each costume, I think) all with their own weapons and special abilities. A sniper would obviously be able to snipe down any enemy within range, a roller and slosher would be able to fling infected ink and cover a lot of surface, a dual gun would be able to dodge incoming attacks with dodge roll, an brush would be able to speedily get to an enemy's base, provided the team memebers are keeping the enemies distracted and pull some literal backstabbing, one of those charged heavy duty weapons could literally unload on any uninfected on sight, and don't even get me started on a ink bow and arrow or something of the sort
Strictly using the weapons seen in their move set, inklings have a Splattershot, roller, Inkbrush, Slosher, blaster, and ink bombs, so inkling boy would of been a huge threat already Inkling girl on the other hand, has mutated beyond needing ink weapons or even a body anymore, and by merely existing has tainted the water supply in whatever universe they’re residing in, on top of still functioning enough to attack anything in proximity, making escape by water impossible
@vlalcremie002he can actually be immune because he just just not want to be infected and boom he’s immune. I’m pretty sure that’s how his power works, if not than ignore this reply
I think what makes Luigi's death scary for me is Peach explained that only characters that received an invitation would be prone to infection, but others are only susceptible to its attacks. In World of Light, Piranha Plant cannot be rescued, and only appears playable after a certain amount of time. Maybe this AU takes place before DLC existed so the newcomers pose alarming threats to the current selection of the roster, and kills them off by surprise.
I have a theory that Dharkon is the source of the infection, and there's 3 clues to this possibility. 1. The name of the AU is a "world in dark" and Dharkon is the embodiment of darkness 2. The way of infection is the usage of tentacles Dharkon is mostly made of tentacles 3. Most of the infected we have seen they have been twisted into these Eldridge abominations and Dharkon does look like some Eldridge creature Is it confirmed yet? NO but he's the most likely suspect for the source of the infection.
I am guessing it pretty much a what if dharkon invaded first instead of galeem like the canon story or dharkon was able to beat galeem before world of light happen
Yeah that could be the case as this could be Dharkon’s way of controlling all the fighters just like Gallem had poured some sort of ooze on top of the fighters and they went under they’re control but why they are know at one stock is unclear so dharkon could be the source but also maybe not
If that were true then maybe sometime down the line they defeat dharkon and galeem comes to take control of the infected fighters similar to what happened in world of light after you defeat Galeem
Ness: I'm going out to investigate some contagion. Samus: (has experience handling infections and mid stage quarantine breaches like the x-parasite outbreak) Should I let this kid do this alone or help him prevent a world ending disaster?..nah it'll be fine.
@@MiguelPBlueFox Perhaps... Or maybe the infection will start to, oh I don't know, MUTATE, before Samus gets involved, and these creatures are already bad enough, if they mutate, may the hands save your soul from whatever new powers the infected gain
24:06 I can’t imagine, but I can imagine the terror of the mushroom kingdom witnessing the deaths of Princess Peach and Daisy, along with Luigi on live television.
I’m able to imagine a video in my head of what the deaths would appear to look like on television. However, it’s better to NOT imagine it as if you can’t
chat, hear me out. in Dr. Mario's bio in 11:57, when it zooms in to the info. If you brighten the image, you can barely see some blurred text that--from what i can tell says "He doesn't know he is dying"
@@lucio8687 Yeah I was bout politely correct u but I'm thinking about it now bro I think this means dr. Mario accidentally made the virus he could have been working on medication and then boom unknown to him created a virus that mutated inside the hosts body and then made that said character patient zero
@@jacksonvoet8312 Mega Man is actually made of Ceramic Titanium. Biometals aren't introduced until the ZX games which take place hundreds of years from the classic games! Just thought you should know!
Kirby, despite being powerful enough to kill gods, was probably one of the worst picks for the infection to choose, ironically enough. Most of Kirby’s actual powerful abilities come from positivity and happiness, and no one is happy with this.
Counterargument: the virus eliminated one of its biggest threats. Since Kirby is ultra powerful and isn't prone to a bad mood, Kirby would be one of the best defenses to the virus. Alongside fighting darkness as an enemy in the games.
Well, actually Mario and Sonic is stronger than him. And too many things Mario world have to cancel viruses, because how broken magic in Mario verse. Like Kamek who can make anything to win.
It probably chose Kirby first because it knew he could endlessly consume. He destroyed all of dream land. It probably didn't know he would get stuck there. Plus he has endless space inside him. It spreads through our the body. So it essentially made a whole dimension it could easily awake thing into and infect
Everyone seems to forget this character, but Megaman would be a big player here. First off, he’s a robot like Rob. Second off he has basically everything you can think of, time stop , black holes, you name it.
@@DaEpicBlasta610 also mega man is part human I believe so he could possibly still get infected depends on where he gets hit but if he gets hit take him apart he will live but he can't hurt u
I mean, the infection does amplify those it infects. And inklings have a history of war that's now a game. And with how innocent they look i can see someone getting taken off guard. Don't know how it survived the water though.
@@star22sally67The infection probably made the Inkling's body immune to water as it took full control of it, either that or it gave the body some sort of shield to prevent water from making contact with the body
Snake may be a supersoldier but he's still very mortal and also considering Inklings, their ink, and how fast they are because of it, I don't blame Snake for not wanting to risk it. plus he was stung and it was weakening him.
I agree, but surely it would be more than one. The Splatoon universe has millions, maybe even billions of them. We only see eight or so in SSBU, including the female base one (aka the one that’s a huge fuckin monster)
An additional note that I forget to add in my original comment: I hope Sonic doesn’t get infected, for the simple fact that there are so many horror stories where Sonic gets infected/possessed and ends up being the main baddie of the story. Be it any of the Sonic horror stories, or fan games. I would like to see him play an active role for once, being the light in the darkness. The hero people need in their darkest times since even when all seems lost he never gives up hope. Even when something similar happened in his world, and he was a direct cause of the infection, he refused to give up. He continued fighting until he couldn’t, and even then he never gave up. Villager is nice since he can help lift spirits, but he’s oblivious to what’s really happening. Sonic on the other hand would be fully aware of what’s going on, but he wouldn’t give up or let others lose themselves to despair. Caliburn recognized him as the true King Arthur for a reason, he’s more than capable of being the leader people need in the darkest hour. He just doesn’t like the responsibility. Speaking of Caliburn, I wonder if Excalibur: the blade that can cut through anything, will play a role. Or even Super Sonic 2? Caliburn isn’t exactly on hand for easy use, granted neither is Super Sonic 2. I wonder if Frontiers might factor in to things? Or is it just everything up to Ultimate? Does it cut off at Forces? If so Sonic’s Earth is still in disarray after the war so who knows if that place is safe? Granted all the facilities and weapons are still in place after the war, the resistance could simply reform and use Resistence/Restoration HQ as a base. Or even Angel Island, South Island and the Lost Hex are both no goes since those are places Smash is connected to. Then again the Lost Hex is disconnected and hidden away, while South Island is a moving island never saying in one place. The Death Egg or The ARK would also be good places to take shelter in. The Death Egg alone should be capable of destroying whatever is necessary considering it’s Death Egg Blaster, and The ARK has the Eclipse Cannon though it’s far weaker than the Death Egg. Chaos… he’s still around if Battle is anything to go by, he’s made of water so he should be capable of stopping anyone. Speaking of water, the Inklings should have died upon contact with it since canonically they can’t biologically stand water. Their whole bodies are made of ink so it dissipates upon contact. Since they didn’t die, that means the infection changes more about the infected’s biology than at first thought. Considering it has physical changes I suppose that’s to be expected. I just thought about it, Sonic has already experienced being infected with strange things before, be it Dark Gaia’s essence which changed his body, or the Cyber Corruption with how much that affected him. Even the aforementioned Metal Virus was just another thing that he was infected with. Each and every time he not only powered through it, but found a way to use the infected power as his own. Honestly all Sonic needs to do is go Super, use Chaos Control and send the infected into the Sun like he did with the Metal Virus, if the Sun won’t work just send them into a black hole, we know it can be done. I just feel bad for Ness, first his world had to deal with Giygas, now he’s dealing with this? Poor kid. I hope Lucas is doing alright, he’s strong both mentally and psychically so he should be fine. Considering these are both post ending Ness and Lucas they’re very powerful in their own rights. Still can’t help but worry about them though.
I dont think anything past ultimate will be used, so no caliburn or anything from forces, at least with the things that peach said it will probably be just around de places of the stages and the surrounding talking about super sonic I think its unlikely, at least with smash victory poses and all that we only know about sonic having one chaos emerald, that and the fact that here we dont really see canon power, I mean... look at mewtwo letting his guard down and not being able to just destroy that pichu with a thought, that would mean that sonic would also have that power limitation that he got on ultimate as much as I like sonic he has a flaw that I think will play a part on this, he fights hand to hand, we saw what that did to marth (having a sword), but I do see him saving someone like he tried to do with pikachu on the world of light cutscene
Sonic actually has gone through a zombie apocalypse before in canon. Granted, these things are much more dangerous than your average zombot but he isn't just going to punch them like an idiot this time.
The sad thing is Sonic will probably be out as soon as he gets introduced, he always rushes in head first to save people and although he is fast, I doubt that will play a role if flipping Mewtwo got beat by a pichu
Someone we need to consider though when it comes to potential survivors/infected: Ganondorf: the man is effectively immortal unless the master sword is in play. Either he becomes one of the strongest individuals in a survival scenario, or one of the most dangerous foes (apart from Kirby of course). Not only because of the triforce of power being in play but also the fact that he’s smart as hell. If he does become infected, I wouldn’t be surprised if he maintains some measure of intelligence. Although, considering the events of Subspace, I wouldn’t be surprised if this infection wasn’t perpetrated by him in some capacity. Regardless, if there is an individual here that needs to have some play in how things go within the story, even in a small portion. The King of Evil is someone who might just thrive in this environment. Who knows, perhaps he may even have a turn akin to Windwaker?
Judging by how God like entities can be infected (because, y'know kirby), I think Ganon won't be much different. However Ganon is much much smarter then Kirby, and probably won't get caught as easily
@@Yourfavpersonfrrl Aye, you’d be right. Considering the pedigree Ganondorf has, I’d say it would take quite a bit to bring him down either way, even considering the infection. This would especially be the case if the characters in this au can use abilities from their home settings If that is the case, we got a master of magic on our hands. I’m not holding my breath for the Gerudo King, but I can definitely see him not going gentle into that good night if worst comes to worst.
Though, you bring up a very important point. We don't know Link's status. If he's infected, Ganondorf's odds drop significantly. Personally, if it comes to deciding factors, there's only a few fighters to watch for. Kid Icarus Cast: Pit and Dark Pit are good for scouts, but ultimately, they won't be much help. Palutena, on the other hand... a Goddess of Light could serve as a major counter, given the whole scenario is 'World of Dark'. Cloud: Zombify is a status in the FF series, so he may have the materia on hand to counter the infection. The Belmonts: Simon and Richter are no strangers to curses. If the infection is magic based, they would definitely play a major role. Samus: That power suit is strong as hell, so she should be able to survive multiple encounters with the infected. Sora: If the Plant is here, and if he's in that spot, they definetly have the DLC characters in their pocket. And anyone who knows Kingdom Hearts knows how busted that boy is. And for the BIG wait huh character: Byleth: A character (or possibly, two characters) who can canonically rewind time, would be beyond strong here. If they get infected, they could just reverse time, avoiding it entirely. With Sothis preventing them from fully turning, their tactical know-how and fate-defying power would make them absolutely op.
How about Kazuya Mishima? Or Joker? Or Byleth? Or Palutena and the Pits? The Aegis? All of those characters can be extremely powerful if they ever fell victim to the infection
Speaking of which, I thought of a theory, which is what if the infection was started or at least created out of dark samus, considering it is some kind of infection entity it self
I mean steve could become the blacksmith for the survivors and create save zones using stacks of cobblestone if not obsidian with escape routes using redstone' signals to keep things at bay. Maybe a few golems to block to doors of like a layered defence.
Ha funny thing is one of the mobs zombie probably can’t be infected since they themselves are already infected and I guess that goes the same for the enderman considering the fact there SOMEWHAT ancient builders that became corrupted and zombified purple scale skinned creatures
Infected pictures: kirby: 3:56 kirby (kinda different?) : 5:53 kirby picture 3: 7:01 Olimar (i guess) : 10:18 olimar 2 (i guess) : 10:38 hallutionationion kirby: 11:44 game and watch (WARNING: MAY GIVE MILD SCARE): 13:37 olimar (I AM VERY SAD ABOUT THIS): 14:26 pikmin: 14:49 pokemon trainer: 16:58 inkling: 18:31 OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL IS THAT: 18:51 pichu (warning, blood): 20:51 (special! Sans: 21:51 )piranana plant: 24:11 FINAL INFORMATION (so far) : 24:32
I dunno if anyone’s mentioned this, but mewtwo most likely SURVIVED the attack from Pichu. He’s initially pronounced dead after pichu attacks, but when we see the chart later after the attack on Peach’s Castle, his current status is left unknown. Potentially he revived somehow, could be infected, could be not. Either way, revivals are possible (in some form) Edit: Just rewatched the scene. Apparently, Mewtwo is first DEAD, then INFECTED, then UNKNOWN, and this all happens directly following the attack at 21:27.
Try to run... You won't be able to. Good luck running away when your foe can teleport. Good luck running away when he can lock down your movements with a single glance.
@@caruspoon5289 And what I went over is just what he is shown to be able to do in Smash. Telekinesis and teleportation are shown plenty of times in his moveset, and I highly doubt the infection is going to play by the rules of his stubby grab range. If we took actual Pokemon stuff into consideration... Let's just say, you meet Mewtwo, you may as well just use whatever method available to you to take your own life before he can infect you. In essence, the group better PRAY Mewtwo's dead, and not... You know.
someone commented under the one where mewtwo is attacked by Pichu and says something about sonic surviving and the creators response "Haha, he thinks Sonic will survive" so Sonic is most likely dead or infected
Or maybe he remains alive, but later on, maybe he will die or get infected. Maybe as a sacrifice for a someone or two, hopefully one that won't be in vain...?
If sonic is dead it's honestly a cop out to kill an op character The only realistic way sonic dies is if he sacrifices himself trying to save someone Personally I hope they treat it like metal virus, where he is infected but can revert it by running
@@lilysamvelian9970 maybe he gets infected while fighting an infected while in super form (which would be terrifying since canonically super form has no time limit) but has enough time to disperse the emeralds around WoL or another universe, which could get the attention of the Hands if in WoL
I like how they forgot about piranha plant before it killed peach and Luigi (And possibly even Daisy), really shows how forgettable its existence in smash bros is
I’m so mad they all died at once I really wished at least Luigi survived he’s always looked down a Pon as Mario’s second so maybe let him step up to the plate saving the princess from danger with a fire ball directly into the creature throat
@@Yourfavpersonfrrl for real. I also did not like how they put him against a character that is actually multiple people who can be dangerous on land but even more in water and then have him jump in water.
@@DerricRaymond-h2zthe thing is inklings die in water. Snake jumped into water because he thought he would be safe, only to greeted with a kraken inkling
@@DerricRaymond-h2zInklings are meant to *die* in water, they survive when in their own ink. Snake would not have leapt in if it was ink, but because it was water, he did. By all rights he should’ve been fine
I never expected a SSBU infection au, but this is So Cool! I can’t wait to see what’s next for this series. (Also, seeing Pichu infected made me so sad)
Has anyone noticed the most iconic characters have either died or become infected? (Mario for example has died and inkling becoming infected) Hinting that most survivors must be the least popular ones
Oh really? I’m assuming he won’t die by an infected but maybe from being too speedy causing his demise or saving pikachu or any other little animal like his character is supposed to be
17:40 The fact that I knew it would be SPLATOON just by the title and the "no amount of water will dissolve what you signed for" knowing that inklings and octolings dissolve in water is a pretty nice detail
Wait SIGNED? Unless it means that they signed up to be in smash (which means the theory that master hand and dark hand is indeed behind it makes even more sense if its due to that) But what if this means that the people who did this signed deals with some of the villans i.e Spatoon 3 and octo expansion is all about dealing with infections so mr grizz or tar could have helped since it seems the virus infects the soul and spatoon has canon souls that do also get infected meaning they would be best suited for the job to make even beings like game and watch and kirby be infected
21:09 this is so fking haunting, the fact that pichu kept stabbing him to MAKE SURE that he was dead/infected (hes probably infected bcs it was way too dramatic to not be, we might be a bit cooked indeed) Also, if the infection is turning the roster into kaijus, we really dont want the stronger ones infected
I have noticed that most of the child characters have survived so far (it is kind of brutal to draw a child getting killed, to be fair) so bowser junior fans rise up
It makes no sense for snake to have died that early. None of the infected characters would ever be able to find him, that’s literally his whole gimmick
Bro, Sonic is one of the fighters that could decide their fates. If he was infected, it would be like when Flash was infected in DCeased. I'm praying he, Mega Man, and Pikachu have their own little team.
@@thechargedfoxie456yt2yeah, maybe him running at Such high speeds causes the infection to be burned off due to friction, then again we don't know how this virus works so I may be wrong.
I saw someone comment that infected and possed Sonic has been so over done at this point tha ks to Sonic.exe it would actually be a subversion of the genera to not have him be infected that this point.
@@Cure-SkywalkerSonic.exe is completely different, especially in genre. Sonic.exe is quite literally a world-warping entity, smart and cold. The virus in World of Dark is more akin to a zombie mutation, so far not possessing any complex thoughts or strategies like Sonic.exe. A zombified Sonic is terrifying because it's one of the fastest zombie ever. Sonic.exe is a demon that just looks like Sonic, Sonic's actual traits or personality doesn't really matter in how Sonic.exe acts.
Me thinks that Sonic surviving is unironically one of the few things to be able to combat the infection as shown in Sonic Frontiers, Super Sonic basically neutralizes the cyber corruption, a sort of infection Sonic gets due to freeing his friends from cyber cages If Sonic survives or at least doesn't reach phase 3 if he's ever infected, and can get his hands on a Smash Ball, it more than likely would be a victory for the good guys.
@@FluppietheRockruffFanthe sad thing is, Sonic is probably gonna be out as soon as we see him, given he always rushes head first into saving people, which was a problem even in IDW and the only reason he didn’t get infected as quickly was because of plot and main character-itus
I have a weird feeling the smash ball is going to happen, be hyped up, and end up infecting whoever uses it like the fake smash ball from ultimate but infection instead. That might even be the cause
stuff I noticed well watching Snake shooting the male Inkling means that alt costumes which change the character are able to get infected as well, which means that there are way more possibilities for infected characters then just the base roster. Also I now hope to see the Koopalings rip Bowser apart Ness notes mentioned that the infected on stage 3 still have some of their old personality which is why Pokémon Trainer only chased Mewtwo because he only wanted to get and catch Mewtwo, something a normal Pokémon Trainer would want to do we only see three Pikmin depicted Red, Blue, and Yellow, this is possibly just because the Creator didn't want to draw all the Pikmin or that Purple, White, and Winged, are still inside Olimar's body or were never found and therefore the strongest, fastest (that also has X-ray vision), and flying, ones are still out there or even loose in the bace and personally I think these are the three most dangerous Pikmin to be infected Mr. Game & Watch didn't have any visible tentacles which is why he killed Yoshi and wounded Luigi because without those tentacles he can't infect them so he just killed them If Mewtwo could just teleport why didn't he teleport away from Pokémon Trainer well being chased I don't think the infected can die as one, Dr. Mario asked if R.O.B. had actually killed Pichu and seemingly R.O.B. was sure he did but then of course Pichu got up and most likely killed Mewtwo, also Olimar's icon being light purple looks more like as if it were to say injured and infected and not killed and infected Dr Mario's weird dreams are definitely just the replayings of Mario's last moments before Kirby killed him there's no mention of Isabelle being in the group even though they're hiding out in the Animal Crossing universe meaning Isabelle is infected or killed or MIA
another thing is that since kirby is the first infected that we see. kirby is also the first character you play as in world of light. which is a very nice detail to reference
I gotta say I feel terrible for ROB. We haven’t seen his updated health screen but based on how he fumbled Pichu our brobot is circling the drain and I’m willing to bet Dr. Mario’s sanity is close to flatlining. As for what I’d like to see here’s hoping for a buddy cop team up between Shulk and Robin. Between Shulk’s future vision and Robin’s genius foresight I’d be confident in their survival…heck throw Lucario in that mix! Those three going Olde Yeller on Pokémon Trainer would be a heck of a story.
If ROB and Dr. Mario see what happened to Mewtwo, well… It might be Dr. Mario’s breaking point. And I don’t wanna imagine what would happen to ROB. But if there is a team-up with Shulk, Robin, and Lucario, that would be insane, I mean put Demilitarized Zone (the song) during that moment. I’m still praying Lucario doesn’t get infected. I’m ok with him being dead or alive. BUT NOT WITH HIM BEING INFECTED. HE WOULD BE TOO OP (Over Powered). A BUNCH OF POKÉMON CHARACTERS ALREADY GOT INFECTED, AND SO FAR, WE DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO LUCARIO, GRENINJA, INCINEROAR, OR PIKACHU!
@@ReleaseTheKraken-j3sagreed. But considering what happened to Pichu and Mewtwo it’s safe to assume this artist is not afraid to do the worst to the strongest and cutest characters so in the end all we can do is hope and wait for the next update…Man I still say they did Snake dirty.
@@elijahaaron6949I’m not even kidding, I’m losing faith in this artist if they forget Rockman is an android and should be as immune as ROB. So far so good but that’ll be a test for the artist’s attention to detail.
**Horrifying distorted screech** "BAH! YOU CALL-A THAT A SCREAM-A? I'M-A WARIO! AN' IT'S-A GONNA TAKE A LOTTA MORE STRENGTH AND-A LOUDNESS TA' DEFEAT-A ME!" **Doesn't get infected because "he doesn't feel like it"**
I really hope sonic survives because we have enough versions of sonic exe so it would be nice to have sonic not be evil/infected for this Edit: sonic is definitely going to die I just wish he wouldn’t
@Notpeppinowithgun1 *gets infected in the metal virus arc* Sonic is literally the type to help people, him getting infected would most likely be due to trying to save someone, for example Pikachu in the smash bros intro.
@@2bdaqueen268or even better, Sonic does get infected but can resist it (like how in the IDW comics, Sonic was resistant to the metal virus due to his speed)
So I’m guessing the next chapter we’re getting this month is either gonna be of ness’s group encountering dr Mario and rob, or will be the fate of the sword fighter mii. Hell after that chapter, it’s likely ness’s groups turn to deal with them.
@@thebreathinglad309Well we actually don’t know what happened to mewtwo, though mewtwo is definitely at least infected. But mewtwo also teleported knowing he could be at risk of being hurt. But yeah, it is somewhat Dr.Mario’s fault that mewtwo is at least infected.
I think sonic has survived due to the fact he's basically always listening and due to his speed so he's probably running trying to find someone anyone...also Steve probably survived due to his ability to build....
@@bowserking6284 Imagine hearing a distorted voice saying: "You were too slowww..." And just looking down to see thousands of quills imbedded in your skin
@@TheFunny-m5s But now there's a new problem, each time Steve dies a new corrupted corpse of him takes his place each time he respawns, so if he dies too many times...there's gonna be an army of phase 3-4 infection steves to face
If i had to make a guess...here's who I'd think are most likely to survive of the characters we have yet to see. So First off, those who have the least chance of survival are those who specialize in Physical attacks(More than half the roster) And those who come from kiddie titles(Villager is alive, yes. But i doubt he'll stay that way) So rule basically all of them out. Characters who use melee weapons like link, cloud, shulk, and the fire emblem guys have a much better chance, but still would probably get defeated eventually. The only ones i think would be able to effectively combat the infected who use melee weapons are Sephiroth and cloud, as they are highly trained and very powerful, as well as simon and richter, since they specialize killing monsters. Pyra and Mythra may also be hard to beat but somehow i doubt they have the nerve to kill. As for the others, of the characters i can think of off the top of my head who would have a better chance of survival, i'll make a list. Fox, Falco, and Wolf(Use far-ranged weapons and have dealt with an infection before) Samus and dark samus:(Uses far range, has armor, and have dealt with mutant monsters before) Pit, dark pit, and palutena(Angels with far range attack and they can fly.) Mega man(Robot and far-range) Sonic(Chaos emeralds provide invincibility and superpower, has dealt with an infection before) Bayonetta(For obvious reasons) There are probably a few others, though i doubt most of these characters will survive, if they haven't died already. This is just my prediction as it stands now.
I think the character I am right now might possibly have a chance because of Devine pulse but just a slightly higher chance than the ones you said will most likely die
It can probably be assumed that Olimar is still alive somehow, due to the fact that hos box was a greyish purple. Grey, for being wounded, mortally wounded, but also Purple... The infection kept him alive.
@Ekud-Smearnof Nah, Master Hand prob gave him Smash exclusive equipment so he can breath oxygen, I mean why else can he use pikmin in space when pikmin 4 shows that is not the case as Oatchi and Moss in a similar condition to Pikmin/Leafling State cannot survive off of PNF-404
LOVE IT when passionate fans come out of nowhere with high-effort projects like this. Sure you can criticize the skill level of the artist, but sometimes it takes a project like this to build those skills in the first place. Love the incorporation of the KO sound effects in the character select death status screen. It's a nice touch. hope the creator is having a blast reading these comments
I have a very weird gut feeling that Sonic will be infected/die the same way he did in the original game, during WOL Basically, he tried to save pikachu during the whole galeem thing, getting beamed in the process due to needing to slow down, hence why kirby was the sole survivor in that game
Agreed. Sonic is great, fast, and really great for a survivor… But he’s really caring and heroic, and that’s really gonna be his downfall if he isn’t already infected/dead in the story yet
The only realistic way sonic gets infected or killed is if 1 he dies sacrificing himself, or 2 they do the more interesting option and have it be like metal virus from the comics
Sonic: “Oh this again this’ll be easier than last time” *calls tails “Hey best buddy, get everyone and the emeralds I’m stopping this from where it began and blaze, knuxs, Shads, and Silvs are coming with me in that portal and oh bring cheese just in case.“
A Smash Bros AU series? With Ness as a protagonist instead of a forgotten background character? Oh I NEED to see this, my EarthBound loving self is so happy
Steve can't get infected, in Minecraft zombies attack villagers and infect them but if steve gets bit nothing happens because he's immune, if hes immune to that hes also immune to this parasite
That's doesn't mean he can't get infected, but Steve has a massive chance of survival He has an arsenal of ranged attacks, he can make armor for himself which lowers the spots the stingers can hit him, and if he does get infected he may be able to drink a bucket of milk to save himself
@@smw-kz3op if both of them ran, both of them could've had a chance to survive that encounter, they just stood there, but probably in shock or something-
@@AkariNights yeah but we all know that's daisy would have at least grab Luigi and ran away because we all can at least agree that daisy is smarter and stronger and at least better in my opinion
Peach was Cooked Keep in mind Luigi rushed in after hearikg dasiy getting Eaten If he had stayed behind he would have survived but Peach wouldn’t have. Still pissed he died so early on
first I saw IOTS, then the MLP infection AU, then an Eddsworld infection AU, and now this? my favorite stuff is turning into horror content, and I'm all here for it.
* You could not grasp the true form of ???’s attack Honestly whatever these things are pale in comparison to what Giygas plans to do. It might just give him ideas. I wouldn’t rule out Giygas being involved in some capacity given the focus Ness has in the story. But something tells me it’s Dharkon since this is the “World of Dark” rather than World of Light. And if you remember Galeem was the one who struck first in World of Light using it’s light rays. Dharkon is the one with tentacles and embodies darkness in all its forms. It stands to reason it’s simply a World of Light inversion, in World of Light you need to save everyone from Galeem’s control as Kirby. Here in World of Dark, Kirby is spreading the infection to everyone who is already free. Instead of attacking in the light and in full view of everyone, Dharkon struck in the shadows creating his perfect minions to do his bidding. We know how World of Light ends, and we know that the Hands are under the control of both Galeem and Dharkon. Master for Galeem, and Crazy for Dharkon. All that has to be done is for everyone to hold out until Galeem appears and puts a stop to all of this and attempts them into his own minions. Galeem is also the reason all of the Spirits exist, so without that first attack of his, the Spirits don’t exist and can’t inhabit any replicas of the cast. It’s likely everyone isn’t dead exactly just like how they didn’t die in World of Light. Only here they haven’t been brought back yet through Dharkon’s power so who knows what’s going to happen with them.
Something interesting is that the infected retain a tiny bit of their personality, as an example, kirby ate mario (presumably) as shown by Mario's arm being in Kirby's mouth, the pokemon trainer trying to infect or "capture" mewtwo while completely ignoring mii sword fighter, and I'm sure there's a few more examples i didn't pick up on.
honestly that also might be the best outcome since that may allow a universal reboot. god awful way to think but sometimes the big red button must be pressed.
Only those with invitations to smash are actually able to infected. He didn't get one. He just showed up on his own because cloud was there or something
@@_aWiseMan Sephiroth wasn't invited, he just broke in, so he's way less effected by the infection most likely, plus he's an absolute power house, he has great strength, magic, and range.
I’m kinda confused how Kirby got infected. If we assume the infection is created from darkness. In the lore, Kirby is a reincarnated version of a void termina ( who is the embodiment of evil, hatred and darkness) while Kirby is the opposite. This would mean that Kirby shouldn’t have gotten infected but the story is probably following the world of light’s order
@@Chill-Noob1alternative is somebody screwed around too much and (as the title suggests an inversion to world of light) legitimately made Kirby go Full void termina (go full negative instead of positive energy)
There are a lot of characters here that could have quite a few unique interactions with this infection. Sora essentially being immune to what's going on here opens up a lot of possibilities. Kazuya has his Devil Gene, which could possibly fight off the infection given its track record. Mega Man is also a cybernetic, so he would also be immune. Sonic has his Super Sonic form, which rivals creatures like Solaris and The Time Eater. Even Steve is an interesting case, as he's shown to be able to cure any illness with a bucket of milk and is also able to cure zombies. There's also Tabuu, if he's still around. Lotta ways this series can go.
Or...what if the infection is versatile and adaptive depending on it's host? What if it always finds a way around immunities by beneficial mutations or even by sheer good luck (for the infection, not the survivors)? What if ALL of these guys can get infected or maybe WILL get infected, and we just don't know it yet? I mean...it got Kirby. Well, we'll find out soon enough!
So I'd like to point out that smash continuity characters are not the same as their own canon. They arent godlike beings or even canon sizes. They are all on equal playing fields. I believe this story is doing the same. Otherwise shulk can break the entire story easily. So when people say things like (insert character here) cant die, this isnt their universe. They are stuck in stamina mode anyway. Just keep that in mind as characters are killed off when they could easily win. Or how kirby hasnt just won already.
@@skaionex If that were really the case then Kirby wouldn't be such a calamity that he himself destroyed his own universe and is only contained within it. There's also the fact that Snake uses a gun and where the hell does he in a smash game? So yeah no, they have their canon abilities/power, or at the very least most of them
@Moiraxdtt if kirby was his canon self, 1) he wouldn't be as big and 2) he wouldn't be able to be contained and 3) the others wouldn't have gotten away. And snake having a gun doesn't really put a huge dent in anything tbh. For all we know it was done for simplicity sake since he doesn't last long anyway. If they are their canon selves then mewtwo wouldn't have gone down so easily and characters like Ness and shulk etc would end it before it begins. Shulk can use the manado to undo it. It would cause huge plot holes/contrivance if they are canon potential so hopefully it's not the case
Good thing Ness absorbed the power of the earth and became one with the universe after collecting the eight melodies, he should be insanely powerful as well, especially with Cappy on his side now. Though I wonder what Lucas is up to. But realistically speaking both should be able to cure the virus via *Healing* (a PSI-Ability in the Mother series which removes any disease, status alignment or anything that alters your original state of being). I also wonder, if the infected characters keep their abilities. A infected Kirby could be quite dangerous because of his friend hearts (insta turning foes into allies).
But then again this could maybe be like smash only content is a sense so like they can’t use the heal moves and such. That could be a reason why ness didn’t say anything about trying to heal or such
@Youzan808 to be fair that’s just a normal gun not a ability like throwing hearts or magic so maybe he picked it up possibly from a dead joker or somewhere else after all this is the world of light segment and there’s a good chunk of bases
@@Youzan808Fair because we saw pretty much nothing for the dlc other then the plant but Kirby is still strong but still got infected but even if it wasn’t that there’s still a whole city so maybe snake got from there.
I love the detail of how there are random yet consistent minor mispellings, Mess is just kid after all. They also might just have made some mistakes, Dr. Mario had some, too, and everyone makes mistakes
I love the fact that for snake's death the song is the danganronpa execution song, it's such a small detail but it fits perfectly for the tone and the specific scene it was used for! and even with mewtwo, it's such a perfect idea to use the terrifying yet wonderful songs from danganronpa
16:30 maybe the infected trainer was only chasing him due to Mewtwo being a Pokémon. The infected trainer might’ve thought the MII was another trainer trying to catch Mewtwo.
Maybe the infection still has Abit of their host's personality and powers like how Kirby devoured Og Mario reference how he's hungry for food but thought Mario is food?
@@kataveonevans6224 yeah, and the way G&W sort of played with his food when stalking Luigi and Yoshi, waiting for them to notice him before attacking. He *gamed* with his prey and *watched* from the darkness.
Imagine being a pokemon that able to freeze time, steal pokemon, shoot powerful projectile, float object, and turn people to stone just to lose to some infected pichu.
@Taurus_. I don't think he was trying to say Mewtwo's the strongest character in Smash or anything, just that Mewtwo can do all those things, and somehow dies to/gets infected by Pichu.

Another thing to take note of: when the virus infected the fighters *(like kirby, the pokemon trainer and his pokemon)* It didn't seem like they could use there normal abilities or specials exept eat, grow, and attack.

And also Mario [the first one you save in world of light] is the first to die to Kirby

few notes:
1. notice how Dr Mario thinks he's the good guy, yet he treats his only friend, R.O.B, like absolute garbage, leaving him to die every time he's on a voyage
2. Mewtwo is one of the most powerful PokeMon ever, there's no way he would teleport away and get stabbed to death while just laying there. He has something planned
3. this "disease" is radically diverse. it turned Piranha Plant and Inkling into lovecraftian horrors that are seventeen times larger than average, but kept Pichu really tiny. what determines these factors?
Could be stage 4 on plant and inkling, and stage 3 on Pichu

In the end, mewtwo has a question mark. I suspect this could mean he could be resistant to the virus. This is because in his game, Psychic is strong against poison. Since Mewtwo is a psychic type, he could be resistant to the effects, but not to just straight up dying or being attacked.
Yet psychic does not resist poison. I believe a Pokémon such as Lucario (which is Fighting and *Steel* type,) could be immune, due to Steel being immune to Poison. Offensive type matchups do not matter in this.
Mewtwo is probably at the least, more resistant if not immune entirely.
Although if Pichu is going for the kill (hence Destiny Bond), he’s cooked.
@@FRTangor + he's artificially made

@Maxjb1242 Maybe he made a terrible deal with one of the doctors like Eggman who made the Metal Virus or Wesker.
Actually I think he would be immune because he can survive as just a Skeleton so he just removes his own flesh to prevent infection and his magic should reverse the infection
100% chilling out with toad
@@Noname-ud4he By the same logic though, Pokemon Trainer and his Pokemon should've been safe due to Full Restores. And clearly, he was not. Or the Inklings should've been immune because they could just splat themselves and then respawn at a respawn point. Clearly, they were not. I think this goes off of Smash logic, not the logic of their actual games.
Fun fact: Wario canonically cannot die or become infected, as stated by the WarioLand 2 manual. I can imagine him and the other surviving antiheroes foring a rival faction with the likes of Bayonetta, Meta Knight, etc.,

It's so strange that no one has even done an infection AU before you...
Keep up the good work!
What was the version of Lifelight you used for the title cards in your videos? Is it your own remix? If so is there anyway you could release a full version of it?
It’s really good and gives off the haunting vibe the story is going for.
Theory: This is all going to turn out to be some messed up new Game Mode.
This series places a suspicious amount of emphasis on the UI of Smash Bros, from the status cards displaying everything in %, to the end screens in the later videos that show the character select screen that even use the series' sound effects instead of something more ominous.
The most damning of all for me personally, is Dr. Mario's Day 8 log. "The rules of the game", Master and Crazy Hand have disappeared, characters DEVELOPING blood, the specific mention of Stamina Mode and revival...
It seems like an odd amount of emphasis to place on game mechanics and stuff if this is just supposed to be a more "realistic" world where everybody can just be killed. And it's not like this was something that HAD to be done, this stuff never came up in Subspace Emissary or World of Light itself, so why put in all of this here? This has to be a Chekhov's Gun situation where it's gonna go off later and all of these changes to the rules and game mechanics are gonna be explained, right? And my theory is that in the end, if all of the Game Modes are canon, then Subspace Emissary being a Game Mode is probably canon too, and World in Dark is gonna be a new Game Mode.
I thought this comment was simply gonna be a joke but it actually provided evidence that actually makes sense. Amazing!
@sunsetlover123-y7c Thanks! The only thing I want to add is that I don't think it's gonna be a bad "It was all a dream!" kind of ending where nothing matters, I get why those twists are bad and why people don't like them.
I think the "It's all a Game Mode" thing is going to be more of a fourth wall breaking thing. Like, everything's going to end good, everyone is saved, happy ending, credits roll and all, and then it's going to zoom out to reveal the mode select screen with World In Dark as one of the modes, silently explaining a lot of things throughout the series.

@@2bdaqueen268 there's still Bowser and Bowser jr. Hopefully both of them is ok.
I think for me seeing the video the character I find most interesting is probably Dr. Mario, and for me the key factor is that he's arguably becoming almost as much of a threat as the infected themselves
● Dr. Mario is already a character who knows he's good as dead even if he "survives" due to being essentially a clone of a character already killed by the infection.
●Then you have the fact while he's probably the biggest assist for the survivors back at base he's also probably the one that at this point is putting the biggest risk due to his own paranoia, at the point he is at almost any newcomers he's obsessively paranoid that they are "secretly" infected. And oddly enough because he gets sloppy and doesn't make sure the Infected Pichu was dead he actually by proxy gets Mewtwo killed...or even worse infected. The ladder is arguably the worst outcome, because it'll just feed into Dr. Mario's paranoia, he "knew" Mewtwo was infected and if the incident with Pichu did actually infect Mewtwo then it'll "prove" that he cannot trust anyone else.
Honestly, to cut the rambling short. Dr. Mario at the point he is at is essentially becoming that utterly paranoid doctor in almost any infection/outbreak show you've seen or heard of. And that path could lead to a lot more danger for the survivors within, they got monsters outside and paranoia eating at them from within...
It’s because of his sanity, regularly mario would be really trusting, which is exactly why he died to Kirby, doc is essentislly key to bringing people together to stop the infection, if he dies or gets too sloppy, the universe could fall right then and there, i wish this was interactive like the actual game, and you can choose your ending.
As a inkling main, I just wanna say how potentially dangerous they could be in this infection. If the virus were to enhance in such a way where they could be inside the inkling's weapon, and to be detachable as well, or to spawn on the infected inkling's ink, it would be incredibly easy for them to start spreading the virus. One might not do much, but imagine a team of them. All they needed to do, is to ink the entire area, and with special moves like Splashdown and Ink Rain, as well as a variety of weapons, they could very much do some major damage.
also seeing how the infection works with the hosts personality (like pokemon trainer wanting to catch mewtwo), the inklings probably want to ink as much places as possible
Combine this with the fact that Mewtwo is probably going to be in a 5th phase since the ? after showing he was infected leaves a sense of mystery, the author will most likely make mewtwo a very powerful infected, and since he has psychic abilties he can teleport, so the infected can teleport these inklings into areas where they can SWEEP surviving members
On the topic of weapons, lets throw a theoretical in this. Imagine there's eight infected inklings (one for each costume, I think) all with their own weapons and special abilities. A sniper would obviously be able to snipe down any enemy within range, a roller and slosher would be able to fling infected ink and cover a lot of surface, a dual gun would be able to dodge incoming attacks with dodge roll, an brush would be able to speedily get to an enemy's base, provided the team memebers are keeping the enemies distracted and pull some literal backstabbing, one of those charged heavy duty weapons could literally unload on any uninfected on sight, and don't even get me started on a ink bow and arrow or something of the sort
Strictly using the weapons seen in their move set, inklings have a Splattershot, roller, Inkbrush, Slosher, blaster, and ink bombs, so inkling boy would of been a huge threat already
Inkling girl on the other hand, has mutated beyond needing ink weapons or even a body anymore, and by merely existing has tainted the water supply in whatever universe they’re residing in, on top of still functioning enough to attack anything in proximity, making escape by water impossible
It's now I remember Inklings are a whole species.
Oh dear.
I could imagine Wario just watching the entire world burning down with Waluigi like its another thursday
Waluigi's immune to the infection, but Wario's not
@vlalcremie002he can actually be immune because he just just not want to be infected and boom he’s immune. I’m pretty sure that’s how his power works, if not than ignore this reply
@@StrettoJnr the video states that the infection only works on characters in the Smash Bros roster, that's why Waluigi's immune but Wario isn't
@@StrettoJnr yeah, wario only die if he wants to die, sadly in smash bros he isnt invincible...
Waluigi: Do we help them? Wario: No, it's better to leave it the way it is. Do you want a beer? Waluigi: Of course.
I think what makes Luigi's death scary for me is Peach explained that only characters that received an invitation would be prone to infection, but others are only susceptible to its attacks. In World of Light, Piranha Plant cannot be rescued, and only appears playable after a certain amount of time. Maybe this AU takes place before DLC existed so the newcomers pose alarming threats to the current selection of the roster, and kills them off by surprise.
Bro whoever fights sora is getting evaporated if sora is infected
Furreal bro, the entire universe may as well say farewell
Chances are, the bosses can be infected too. As a result, the only immune boss is Galleom. And potentially Galeem and Dharkon? If they're even there.
Seeing as Piranha Plant is a species, the Mushroom Kingdom seems to be a lost cause
@NeoAya Unless there's one specific piranha plant that's in smash.
I have a theory that Dharkon is the source of the infection, and there's 3 clues to this possibility.
1. The name of the AU is a "world in dark" and Dharkon is the embodiment of darkness
2. The way of infection is the usage of tentacles Dharkon is mostly made of tentacles
3. Most of the infected we have seen they have been twisted into these Eldridge abominations and Dharkon does look like some Eldridge creature
Is it confirmed yet? NO but he's the most likely suspect for the source of the infection.
I am guessing it pretty much a what if dharkon invaded first instead of galeem like the canon story or dharkon was able to beat galeem before world of light happen
i think it's something else entirely, not from smash or even a game, such as a virus in the nintendo infecting the malware.
Yeah that could be the case as this could be Dharkon’s way of controlling all the fighters just like Gallem had poured some sort of ooze on top of the fighters and they went under they’re control but why they are know at one stock is unclear so dharkon could be the source but also maybe not
@@user-ss3gb6sk3d same way that galeem one shot all the other fighters
If that were true then maybe sometime down the line they defeat dharkon and galeem comes to take control of the infected fighters similar to what happened in world of light after you defeat Galeem
Ness: I'm going out to investigate some contagion.
Samus: (has experience handling infections and mid stage quarantine breaches like the x-parasite outbreak) Should I let this kid do this alone or help him prevent a world ending disaster?..nah it'll be fine.
well, she could be a major key on finding a cure to this infection on later episodes
@@MiguelPBlueFox Perhaps... Or maybe the infection will start to, oh I don't know, MUTATE, before Samus gets involved, and these creatures are already bad enough, if they mutate, may the hands save your soul from whatever new powers the infected gain
That and Ness is powerful as fuck so he can't help himself
Na bro solid snake would have cooked
If Ridley is infected we might be cooked and I will most likely kms

I can’t imagine, but I can imagine the terror of the mushroom kingdom witnessing the deaths of Princess Peach and Daisy, along with Luigi on live television.
Aint now way Daisy went down like a basic bitch with the attack power she holds she can literally one shot bowsser I refuse to believe it
Poor Toadsworth and the other Toads/Toadettes. They had lost their leader.
You can’t but can imagine????
I’m able to imagine a video in my head of what the deaths would appear to look like on television. However, it’s better to NOT imagine it as if you can’t
Wait so peach and daisy both have toads in smash as counters right? Wouldn't that mean that those toads could also be infected?

never mind, it says "He doesn't know he is lying". my bad
@@lucio8687 Yeah I was bout politely correct u but I'm thinking about it now bro I think this means dr.

What do you think the ‘lying’ is?
out of every infection au i’ve witnessed, this is by far the most creative and beautiful one i’ve ever seen.
Agree
I'm waiting for Steve because
Me to
I think mega man would survive because he’s a robot like R.O.B and if R.O.B survived, then mega man did too
If Mega Man not get destroyed by big size thing. In Super Smash, Mega Man head item(is for 1UP for Mega Man) not added.
To be fair, Mega Man is made of bio metals, so there may be a good chance the infection may have been able to impede his functions.
What are you talking about?@@jacksonvoet8312
@@jacksonvoet8312 You're talking about mega man zx
@@jacksonvoet8312 Mega Man is actually made of Ceramic Titanium. Biometals aren't introduced until the ZX games which take place hundreds of years from the classic games! Just thought you should know!
Kirby, despite being powerful enough to kill gods, was probably one of the worst picks for the infection to choose, ironically enough. Most of Kirby’s actual powerful abilities come from positivity and happiness, and no one is happy with this.
Counterargument: the virus eliminated one of its biggest threats.
Since Kirby is ultra powerful and isn't prone to a bad mood, Kirby would be one of the best defenses to the virus. Alongside fighting darkness as an enemy in the games.
@@wkoya4803it also forces him to be happy.
@@wkoya4803 COUNTER-COUNTER ARGUMENT nuh uh!
Well, actually Mario and Sonic is stronger than him. And too many things Mario world have to cancel viruses, because how broken magic in Mario verse. Like Kamek who can make anything to win.
It probably chose Kirby first because it knew he could endlessly consume. He destroyed all of dream land. It probably didn't know he would get stuck there. Plus he has endless space inside him. It spreads through our the body. So it essentially made a whole dimension it could easily awake thing into and infect
Everyone seems to forget this character, but Megaman would be a big player here. First off, he’s a robot like Rob. Second off he has basically everything you can think of, time stop , black holes, you name it.
Yeah, Megaman is more versatile then R.O.B tho he isn’t immortal, meaning he can still be damaged like R.O.B
@@DaEpicBlasta610 also mega man is part human I believe so he could possibly still get infected depends on where he gets hit but if he gets hit take him apart he will live but he can't hurt u

@ taking apart MEGAMAN is no easy feat.
Yea bro my boy mega man can go toe to toe with samus (according to death battle)
18:36 I can defiantly agree with you, there’s no way in hell one Inkling would be able to have Snake running like that he was killed off way too fast
I mean, the infection does amplify those it infects. And inklings have a history of war that's now a game. And with how innocent they look i can see someone getting taken off guard. Don't know how it survived the water though.
@@star22sally67The infection probably made the Inkling's body immune to water as it took full control of it, either that or it gave the body some sort of shield to prevent water from making contact with the body
@@Serious5GamingS5G
Likely changed the matter of his body all together. He’s made out of whatever the infection is, not ink anymore.
Snake may be a supersoldier but he's still very mortal and also considering Inklings, their ink, and how fast they are because of it, I don't blame Snake for not wanting to risk it. plus he was stung and it was weakening him.
I agree, but surely it would be more than one. The Splatoon universe has millions, maybe even billions of them. We only see eight or so in SSBU, including the female base one (aka the one that’s a huge fuckin monster)
If the infected piranha plant becomes a kaiju, then imagine Bowser.
Nah, imagine Giga Bowser but infected.
Oh dip.
Yeah but, bowser can survive as a Skeleton so he can remove his own flesh if needed
Ok, I'm a go sd now, bye

Doomguy/Doomslayer: Right back at you
Bomberman: Same
Geno: Yep
I love in this series how "most non intimidating characters" are the ones who are getting infected
An additional note that I forget to add in my original comment: I hope Sonic doesn’t get infected, for the simple fact that there are so many horror stories where Sonic gets infected/possessed and ends up being the main baddie of the story. Be it any of the Sonic horror stories, or fan games. I would like to see him play an active role for once, being the light in the darkness. The hero people need in their darkest times since even when all seems lost he never gives up hope. Even when something similar happened in his world, and he was a direct cause of the infection, he refused to give up. He continued fighting until he couldn’t, and even then he never gave up.
Villager is nice since he can help lift spirits, but he’s oblivious to what’s really happening. Sonic on the other hand would be fully aware of what’s going on, but he wouldn’t give up or let others lose themselves to despair.
Caliburn recognized him as the true King Arthur for a reason, he’s more than capable of being the leader people need in the darkest hour. He just doesn’t like the responsibility.
Speaking of Caliburn, I wonder if Excalibur: the blade that can cut through anything, will play a role. Or even Super Sonic 2? Caliburn isn’t exactly on hand for easy use, granted neither is Super Sonic 2. I wonder if Frontiers might factor in to things? Or is it just everything up to Ultimate? Does it cut off at Forces? If so Sonic’s Earth is still in disarray after the war so who knows if that place is safe? Granted all the facilities and weapons are still in place after the war, the resistance could simply reform and use Resistence/Restoration HQ as a base. Or even Angel Island, South Island and the Lost Hex are both no goes since those are places Smash is connected to. Then again the Lost Hex is disconnected and hidden away, while South Island is a moving island never saying in one place. The Death Egg or The ARK would also be good places to take shelter in. The Death Egg alone should be capable of destroying whatever is necessary considering it’s Death Egg Blaster, and The ARK has the Eclipse Cannon though it’s far weaker than the Death Egg.
Chaos… he’s still around if Battle is anything to go by, he’s made of water so he should be capable of stopping anyone. Speaking of water, the Inklings should have died upon contact with it since canonically they can’t biologically stand water. Their whole bodies are made of ink so it dissipates upon contact. Since they didn’t die, that means the infection changes more about the infected’s biology than at first thought. Considering it has physical changes I suppose that’s to be expected. I just thought about it, Sonic has already experienced being infected with strange things before, be it Dark Gaia’s essence which changed his body, or the Cyber Corruption with how much that affected him. Even the aforementioned Metal Virus was just another thing that he was infected with. Each and every time he not only powered through it, but found a way to use the infected power as his own. Honestly all Sonic needs to do is go Super, use Chaos Control and send the infected into the Sun like he did with the Metal Virus, if the Sun won’t work just send them into a black hole, we know it can be done.
I just feel bad for Ness, first his world had to deal with Giygas, now he’s dealing with this? Poor kid. I hope Lucas is doing alright, he’s strong both mentally and psychically so he should be fine. Considering these are both post ending Ness and Lucas they’re very powerful in their own rights. Still can’t help but worry about them though.
Well Sonic’s gonna feel like he’s dealing with an another virus again even though Smash!Sonic is a different variant of mainstream Sonic.
I dont think anything past ultimate will be used, so no caliburn or anything from forces, at least with the things that peach said it will probably be just around de places of the stages and the surrounding
talking about super sonic I think its unlikely, at least with smash victory poses and all that we only know about sonic having one chaos emerald, that and the fact that here we dont really see canon power, I mean... look at mewtwo letting his guard down and not being able to just destroy that pichu with a thought, that would mean that sonic would also have that power limitation that he got on ultimate
as much as I like sonic he has a flaw that I think will play a part on this, he fights hand to hand, we saw what that did to marth (having a sword), but I do see him saving someone like he tried to do with pikachu on the world of light cutscene
Sonic actually has gone through a zombie apocalypse before in canon. Granted, these things are much more dangerous than your average zombot but he isn't just going to punch them like an idiot this time.
The sad thing is Sonic will probably be out as soon as he gets introduced, he always rushes in head first to save people and although he is fast, I doubt that will play a role if flipping Mewtwo got beat by a pichu
@@efe_0.Caliburn is from sonic and the black knight
Someone we need to consider though when it comes to potential survivors/infected:
Ganondorf: the man is effectively immortal unless the master sword is in play. Either he becomes one of the strongest individuals in a survival scenario, or one of the most dangerous foes (apart from Kirby of course). Not only because of the triforce of power being in play but also the fact that he’s smart as hell.
If he does become infected, I wouldn’t be surprised if he maintains some measure of intelligence.
Although, considering the events of Subspace, I wouldn’t be surprised if this infection wasn’t perpetrated by him in some capacity. Regardless, if there is an individual here that needs to have some play in how things go within the story, even in a small portion. The King of Evil is someone who might just thrive in this environment. Who knows, perhaps he may even have a turn akin to Windwaker?
Judging by how God like entities can be infected (because, y'know kirby), I think Ganon won't be much different. However Ganon is much much smarter then Kirby, and probably won't get caught as easily
@@Yourfavpersonfrrl Aye, you’d be right. Considering the pedigree Ganondorf has, I’d say it would take quite a bit to bring him down either way, even considering the infection. This would especially be the case if the characters in this au can use abilities from their home settings
If that is the case, we got a master of magic on our hands. I’m not holding my breath for the Gerudo King, but I can definitely see him not going gentle into that good night if worst comes to worst.
Though, you bring up a very important point.
We don't know Link's status. If he's infected, Ganondorf's odds drop significantly.
Personally, if it comes to deciding factors, there's only a few fighters to watch for.
Kid Icarus Cast: Pit and Dark Pit are good for scouts, but ultimately, they won't be much help. Palutena, on the other hand... a Goddess of Light could serve as a major counter, given the whole scenario is 'World of Dark'.
Cloud: Zombify is a status in the FF series, so he may have the materia on hand to counter the infection.
The Belmonts: Simon and Richter are no strangers to curses. If the infection is magic based, they would definitely play a major role.
Samus: That power suit is strong as hell, so she should be able to survive multiple encounters with the infected.
Sora: If the Plant is here, and if he's in that spot, they definetly have the DLC characters in their pocket. And anyone who knows Kingdom Hearts knows how busted that boy is.
And for the BIG wait huh character:
Byleth: A character (or possibly, two characters) who can canonically rewind time, would be beyond strong here. If they get infected, they could just reverse time, avoiding it entirely. With Sothis preventing them from fully turning, their tactical know-how and fate-defying power would make them absolutely op.
How about Kazuya Mishima? Or Joker? Or Byleth? Or Palutena and the Pits? The Aegis? All of those characters can be extremely powerful if they ever fell victim to the infection
Speaking of which, I thought of a theory, which is what if the infection was started or at least created out of dark samus, considering it is some kind of infection entity it self
Steve is the last survivor…
Because he’s in creative mode
SO TRUE,LMAO!
I mean steve could become the blacksmith for the survivors and create save zones using stacks of cobblestone if not obsidian with escape routes using redstone' signals to keep things at bay. Maybe a few golems to block to doors of like a layered defence.

I dunno if anyone’s mentioned this, but mewtwo most likely SURVIVED the attack from Pichu. He’s initially pronounced dead after pichu attacks, but when we see the chart later after the attack on Peach’s Castle, his current status is left unknown. Potentially he revived somehow, could be infected, could be not. Either way, revivals are possible (in some form)
Edit: Just rewatched the scene. Apparently, Mewtwo is first DEAD, then INFECTED, then UNKNOWN, and this all happens directly following the attack at 21:27.

Me neither honestly, though I always wanted to see one

You might be right considering that the creator confirmed sonic is not gonna be around for long.
Oh really? I’m assuming he won’t die by an infected but maybe from being too speedy causing his demise or saving pikachu or any other little animal like his character is supposed to be
17:40 The fact that I knew it would be SPLATOON just by the title and the "no amount of water will dissolve what you signed for" knowing that inklings and octolings dissolve in water is a pretty nice detail
If anyone else have Megalophobia then imagine going swimming in the ocean only to see this under the sea…
I think the third line gave it away cuz what game in Nintendo is NENTIONED to be colourful?
Wait SIGNED?
Unless it means that they signed up to be in smash (which means the theory that master hand and dark hand is indeed behind it makes even more sense if its due to that)
But what if this means that the people who did this signed deals with some of the villans i.e Spatoon 3 and octo expansion is all about dealing with infections so mr grizz or tar could have helped since it seems the virus infects the soul and spatoon has canon souls that do also get infected meaning they would be best suited for the job to make even beings like game and watch and kirby be infected

21:09 this is so fking haunting, the fact that pichu kept stabbing him to MAKE SURE that he was dead/infected

I saw someone comment that infected and possed Sonic has been so over done at this point tha ks to Sonic.exe it would actually be a subversion of the genera to not have him be infected that this point.
let's hope he learned his lesson from metal virus
@@Cure-SkywalkerSonic.exe is completely different, especially in genre. Sonic.exe is quite literally a world-warping entity, smart and cold. The virus in World of Dark is more akin to a zombie mutation, so far not possessing any complex thoughts or strategies like Sonic.exe. A zombified Sonic is terrifying because it's one of the fastest zombie ever. Sonic.exe is a demon that just looks like Sonic, Sonic's actual traits or personality doesn't really matter in how Sonic.exe acts.
Me thinks that Sonic surviving is unironically one of the few things to be able to combat the infection
as shown in Sonic Frontiers, Super Sonic basically neutralizes the cyber corruption, a sort of infection Sonic gets due to freeing his friends from cyber cages
If Sonic survives or at least doesn't reach phase 3 if he's ever infected, and can get his hands on a Smash Ball, it more than likely would be a victory for the good guys.
Not to mention Sonic's speed prob would revert the infection the same way Sonic combated the Metal Virus in IDW
@@FluppietheRockruffFanthe sad thing is, Sonic is probably gonna be out as soon as we see him, given he always rushes head first into saving people, which was a problem even in IDW and the only reason he didn’t get infected as quickly was because of plot and main character-itus
I have a weird feeling the smash ball is going to happen, be hyped up, and end up infecting whoever uses it like the fake smash ball from ultimate but infection instead. That might even be the cause
Got a point there, maybe sonic will come in clutch.
He could either be their greatest ally or threat in this situation
stuff I noticed well watching
Snake shooting the male Inkling means that alt costumes which change the character are able to get infected as well, which means that there are way more possibilities for infected characters then just the base roster.
Also I now hope to see the Koopalings rip Bowser apart
Ness notes mentioned that the infected on stage 3 still have some of their old personality which is why Pokémon Trainer only chased Mewtwo because he only wanted to get and catch Mewtwo, something a normal Pokémon Trainer would want to do
we only see three Pikmin depicted Red, Blue, and Yellow, this is possibly just because the Creator didn't want to draw all the Pikmin or that Purple, White, and Winged, are still inside Olimar's body or were never found and therefore the strongest, fastest (that also has X-ray vision), and flying, ones are still out there or even loose in the bace and personally I think these are the three most dangerous Pikmin to be infected
Mr. Game & Watch didn't have any visible tentacles which is why he killed Yoshi and wounded Luigi because without those tentacles he can't infect them so he just killed them
If Mewtwo could just teleport why didn't he teleport away from Pokémon Trainer well being chased
I don't think the infected can die as one, Dr. Mario asked if R.O.B. had actually killed Pichu and seemingly R.O.B. was sure he did but then of course Pichu got up and most likely killed Mewtwo, also Olimar's icon being light purple looks more like as if it were to say injured and infected and not killed and infected
Dr Mario's weird dreams are definitely just the replayings of Mario's last moments before Kirby killed him
there's no mention of Isabelle being in the group even though they're hiding out in the Animal Crossing universe meaning Isabelle is infected or killed or MIA
Mewtwo got paralysed i think when pichu stinged him on the leg...?
The Isabelle one makes sence. . . until you remember that Tom nook and Timmy and tommy are a part of it too!
@@LandonTheRabbit The 3 T's are most likely dead or in hiding unless the characters who show up in the Final Smashes can be infected
@Bunno_Entertainment the Animal Crossing universe is a safe haven probably.
1. Possibly
2. Very true
3. Oh
4. Who knows?
5. Idk
6. Could be a thing
7. That scared me when I read that
8. Alright
another thing is that since kirby is the first infected that we see. kirby is also the first character you play as in world of light. which is a very nice detail to reference
I gotta say I feel terrible for ROB. We haven’t seen his updated health screen but based on how he fumbled Pichu our brobot is circling the drain and I’m willing to bet Dr. Mario’s sanity is close to flatlining. As for what I’d like to see here’s hoping for a buddy cop team up between Shulk and Robin. Between Shulk’s future vision and Robin’s genius foresight I’d be confident in their survival…heck throw Lucario in that mix! Those three going Olde Yeller on Pokémon Trainer would be a heck of a story.
If ROB and Dr. Mario see what happened to Mewtwo, well… It might be Dr. Mario’s breaking point. And I don’t wanna imagine what would happen to ROB. But if there is a team-up with Shulk, Robin, and Lucario, that would be insane, I mean put Demilitarized Zone (the song) during that moment. I’m still praying Lucario doesn’t get infected. I’m ok with him being dead or alive. BUT NOT WITH HIM BEING INFECTED. HE WOULD BE TOO OP (Over Powered). A BUNCH OF POKÉMON CHARACTERS ALREADY GOT INFECTED, AND SO FAR, WE DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO LUCARIO, GRENINJA, INCINEROAR, OR PIKACHU!
@@ReleaseTheKraken-j3sagreed. But considering what happened to Pichu and Mewtwo it’s safe to assume this artist is not afraid to do the worst to the strongest and cutest characters so in the end all we can do is hope and wait for the next update…Man I still say they did Snake dirty.
@@IRONHEART49 Yep. He just got drowned by a giant infected inkling (I didn’t know what it was earlier) DURING HIS CAMEO
I'm BEGGING for MegaMan or someone who knows a Dr. That works with robots can help fix ROB
@@elijahaaron6949I’m not even kidding, I’m losing faith in this artist if they forget Rockman is an android and should be as immune as ROB. So far so good but that’ll be a test for the artist’s attention to detail.
I really hope this series continues because I NEED to know what happens next! Like, I don't usually care about infection AUs, but this has me hooked!
Praying my boy Lucas is safe, bro has suffered ENOUGH
He's dead.
Praying as well man along with my main Simon 🙏

I would KILL for Wario to be the true hero of this AU
YES

"BAH! YOU CALL-A THAT A SCREAM-A? I'M-A WARIO! AN' IT'S-A GONNA TAKE A LOTTA MORE STRENGTH AND-A LOUDNESS TA' DEFEAT-A ME!"
**Doesn't get infected because "he doesn't feel like it"**
Wario literally dosent die because he dosent feel like it
If it was sans
And waluigi, just for the funsies.
I really hope sonic survives because we have enough versions of sonic exe so it would be nice to have sonic not be evil/infected for this
Edit: sonic is definitely going to die I just wish he wouldn’t
He’s an easy way to up the stakes by making him a big threat so it makes sense, but I hope he becomes a survivor rather then an infected or dead
sonic is so overpowered in his canon that if he is infected i call bull
@Notpeppinowithgun1 *gets infected in the metal virus arc* Sonic is literally the type to help people, him getting infected would most likely be due to trying to save someone, for example Pikachu in the smash bros intro.
@@ThatRandomBoi2 tbf that was by surprise
@@2bdaqueen268or even better, Sonic does get infected but can resist it (like how in the IDW comics, Sonic was resistant to the metal virus due to his speed)
Everybody gangster til squid kid jumps into water without dissolving.
No one noticed that mii swordfighter and mewtwo have "yet"next to the "not infected" in the caracter card.
Blame dr mario
So I’m guessing the next chapter we’re getting this month is either gonna be of ness’s group encountering dr Mario and rob, or will be the fate of the sword fighter mii. Hell after that chapter, it’s likely ness’s groups turn to deal with them.
Dr.Mario the GOAT, no bias
YES dude i love doc so much and him being one of the main characters is awesome
For once, Dr. Mario is actually important in any AU
He's cool, but he needs some rest, his tiredness killed Mewtwo
@@thebreathinglad309 actually mewto kinda killed/infected himself by doing the brainless move of NOT being in safety of captivity.
@@thebreathinglad309Well we actually don’t know what happened to mewtwo, though mewtwo is definitely at least infected. But mewtwo also teleported knowing he could be at risk of being hurt. But yeah, it is somewhat Dr.Mario’s fault that mewtwo is at least infected.
The dangranronpa sound effects are killing me 💀
Right? I heard the execution music when I saw Snake and was like "... Wait a damn min-"
Yeah I know dude
That music always makes me excited for some reason
Yo, lol
@@Endervulpe Fr, when I heard the execution music from Danganronpa and saw Snake.
*I knew he was gonna die*
I think sonic has survived due to the fact he's basically always listening and due to his speed so he's probably running trying to find someone anyone...also Steve probably survived due to his ability to build....
Plus creative mode but idk if it will make him immune though
@@pokemonanimatronictrainerw7577 I mean technically even if he dies and loses to the virus as long as he has a bed hes gonna be able to survive
Yea If Sonic is infected he's going to be a literal speed demon and you probably won't even realize you gotten stung
@@bowserking6284 Imagine hearing a distorted voice saying: "You were too slowww..." And just looking down to see thousands of quills imbedded in your skin
@@TheFunny-m5s But now there's a new problem, each time Steve dies a new corrupted corpse of him takes his place each time he respawns, so if he dies too many times...there's gonna be an army of phase 3-4 infection steves to face
If i had to make a guess...here's who I'd think are most likely to survive of the characters we have yet to see.
So First off, those who have the least chance of survival are those who specialize in Physical attacks(More than half the roster) And those who come from kiddie titles(Villager is alive, yes. But i doubt he'll stay that way) So rule basically all of them out.
Characters who use melee weapons like link, cloud, shulk, and the fire emblem guys have a much better chance, but still would probably get defeated eventually. The only ones i think would be able to effectively combat the infected who use melee weapons are Sephiroth and cloud, as they are highly trained and very powerful, as well as simon and richter, since they specialize killing monsters. Pyra and Mythra may also be hard to beat but somehow i doubt they have the nerve to kill.
As for the others, of the characters i can think of off the top of my head who would have a better chance of survival, i'll make a list.
Fox, Falco, and Wolf(Use far-ranged weapons and have dealt with an infection before)
Samus and dark samus:(Uses far range, has armor, and have dealt with mutant monsters before)
Pit, dark pit, and palutena(Angels with far range attack and they can fly.)
Mega man(Robot and far-range)
Sonic(Chaos emeralds provide invincibility and superpower, has dealt with an infection before)
Bayonetta(For obvious reasons)
There are probably a few others, though i doubt most of these characters will survive, if they haven't died already. This is just my prediction as it stands now.
I think the character I am right now might possibly have a chance because of Devine pulse but just a slightly higher chance than the ones you said will most likely die
@@Kenaki_1930 oh yeah i forgot about byleth.
@@MKG-2033 to be fair byleth is likely going to die with the other fire emblem characters unless he/she is smart with Devine pulse
Wario.
@@Kenaki_1930 Yeah, i think most swordfighters are screwed except for the few i mentioned, and even then those guys may not last too long.
It can probably be assumed that Olimar is still alive somehow, due to the fact that hos box was a greyish purple. Grey, for being wounded, mortally wounded, but also Purple... The infection kept him alive.
He has life support for 30 days, doesn't he?
@FlamingAomeba fair point, fair point.
I think the greyish purple means he was infected, then died.
@elphnt_darl8877 wouldn’t he also have an x then?
@Ekud-Smearnof Nah, Master Hand prob gave him Smash exclusive equipment so he can breath oxygen, I mean why else can he use pikmin in space when pikmin 4 shows that is not the case as Oatchi and Moss in a similar condition to Pikmin/Leafling State cannot survive off of PNF-404
Never thought I’d see the day where Piranha Plant would be this powerful, proud of it

@Kingstondabingston fr fr tho T_T, only left their tongue and shell
LOVE IT when passionate fans come out of nowhere with high-effort projects like this. Sure you can criticize the skill level of the artist, but sometimes it takes a project like this to build those skills in the first place. Love the incorporation of the KO sound effects in the character select death status screen. It's a nice touch. hope the creator is having a blast reading these comments
I have a very weird gut feeling that Sonic will be infected/die the same way he did in the original game, during WOL
Basically, he tried to save pikachu during the whole galeem thing, getting beamed in the process due to needing to slow down, hence why kirby was the sole survivor in that game
Everyone is suspecting Sonic to live.
And because of this, I know for a fact he's either infected or dead
Agreed. Sonic is great, fast, and really great for a survivor…
But he’s really caring and heroic, and that’s really gonna be his downfall if he isn’t already infected/dead in the story yet
The only realistic way sonic gets infected or killed is if 1 he dies sacrificing himself, or 2 they do the more interesting option and have it be like metal virus from the comics
@@marshadowhero5807 From what I've seen in he other comments, Sonic's most likely gonna either die or be an infected

@@Jolynesimpnumber4 it all fun and games until sonic realize talis and the others not in smash bros or they just probably infected possibly
@@smw-kz3oponly people with Smash invitations can get infected.
@@smw-kz3op characters that aren't in the smash roster can't get infected
@TheTerraGamesYT oh? That is interested
God point
A Smash Bros AU series? With Ness as a protagonist instead of a forgotten background character? Oh I NEED to see this, my EarthBound loving self is so happy
19:22 I think a dark purply gray means that they were infected, but ended up being killed
Steve can't get infected, in Minecraft zombies attack villagers and infect them but if steve gets bit nothing happens because he's immune, if hes immune to that hes also immune to this parasite
By this logic, Steve can't get infected, but Steve can die, as in the game it dies too if the zombie damages Steve too much
That’s not how it works, the infection would probably kill him anyways
That's doesn't mean he can't get infected, but Steve has a massive chance of survival
He has an arsenal of ranged attacks, he can make armor for himself which lowers the spots the stingers can hit him, and if he does get infected he may be able to drink a bucket of milk to save himself
Steve fanboys be so delusional ngl

You've done the unthinkable.
You've convinced me to actually open TikTok.
Thanks for the coverage.
Same😂
* You could not grasp the true form of ???’s attack
Honestly whatever these things are pale in comparison to what Giygas plans to do. It might just give him ideas. I wouldn’t rule out Giygas being involved in some capacity given the focus Ness has in the story. But something tells me it’s Dharkon since this is the “World of Dark” rather than World of Light. And if you remember Galeem was the one who struck first in World of Light using it’s light rays. Dharkon is the one with tentacles and embodies darkness in all its forms.
It stands to reason it’s simply a World of Light inversion, in World of Light you need to save everyone from Galeem’s control as Kirby. Here in World of Dark, Kirby is spreading the infection to everyone who is already free. Instead of attacking in the light and in full view of everyone, Dharkon struck in the shadows creating his perfect minions to do his bidding. We know how World of Light ends, and we know that the Hands are under the control of both Galeem and Dharkon. Master for Galeem, and Crazy for Dharkon.
All that has to be done is for everyone to hold out until Galeem appears and puts a stop to all of this and attempts them into his own minions. Galeem is also the reason all of the Spirits exist, so without that first attack of his, the Spirits don’t exist and can’t inhabit any replicas of the cast. It’s likely everyone isn’t dead exactly just like how they didn’t die in World of Light. Only here they haven’t been brought back yet through Dharkon’s power so who knows what’s going to happen with them.
the Hands will definitely win
Something interesting is that the infected retain a tiny bit of their personality, as an example, kirby ate mario (presumably) as shown by Mario's arm being in Kirby's mouth, the pokemon trainer trying to infect or "capture" mewtwo while completely ignoring mii sword fighter, and I'm sure there's a few more examples i didn't pick up on.
Like how pichu only went for mewtwo and not mii swordfighter or Dr mario
@SalicTheSayian man, mii sword fighter is really getting ghosted by these infected.
Also piranha plant going after the mushroom kingdom
Kirby's phase 3 infection stats say that there are remnants if personality, so maybe
If sephiroth gets a final smash, we're done for. Whether he's alive or infected, the world literally blows up.
honestly that also might be the best outcome since that may allow a universal reboot. god awful way to think but sometimes the big red button must be pressed.
Only those with invitations to smash are actually able to infected. He didn't get one. He just showed up on his own because cloud was there or something
@_aWiseMan he's still a Fighter. And the infection infects those on the roster
@@_aWiseMan Sephiroth wasn't invited, he just broke in, so he's way less effected by the infection most likely, plus he's an absolute power house, he has great strength, magic, and range.
I doubt it cause there seems to be no items and only the sphere, so probably no final smashes either. Their own weapons can be used though
I may have watched this at night, but DANG IS THIS AWESOME!!!
Kirby got infected? Kirby? The canonical god and multiversal threat destroyer? That Kirby?
Kirby is where it all began. Ironic, isn't it? The savior of World of Light, is the MAIN ANTAGONIST of World in Dark
I’m kinda confused how Kirby got infected.
If we assume the infection is created from darkness. In the lore, Kirby is a reincarnated version of a void termina ( who is the embodiment of evil, hatred and darkness) while Kirby is the opposite.
This would mean that Kirby shouldn’t have gotten infected but the story is probably following the world of light’s order
Maybe he eat something related to the virus
@@Chill-Noob1alternative is somebody screwed around too much and (as the title suggests an inversion to world of light) legitimately made Kirby go Full void termina (go full negative instead of positive energy)
@@Chill-Noob1"Kirby is Void Termina" was never confirmed and is mostly just fan speculations, that theory has a whole bunch of holes in it too.
There are a lot of characters here that could have quite a few unique interactions with this infection. Sora essentially being immune to what's going on here opens up a lot of possibilities. Kazuya has his Devil Gene, which could possibly fight off the infection given its track record. Mega Man is also a cybernetic, so he would also be immune. Sonic has his Super Sonic form, which rivals creatures like Solaris and The Time Eater. Even Steve is an interesting case, as he's shown to be able to cure any illness with a bucket of milk and is also able to cure zombies.
There's also Tabuu, if he's still around.
Lotta ways this series can go.
Or...what if the infection is versatile and adaptive depending on it's host? What if it always finds a way around immunities by beneficial mutations or even by sheer good luck (for the infection, not the survivors)? What if ALL of these guys can get infected or maybe WILL get infected, and we just don't know it yet? I mean...it got Kirby. Well, we'll find out soon enough!
So I'd like to point out that smash continuity characters are not the same as their own canon. They arent godlike beings or even canon sizes. They are all on equal playing fields. I believe this story is doing the same. Otherwise shulk can break the entire story easily. So when people say things like (insert character here) cant die, this isnt their universe. They are stuck in stamina mode anyway.
Just keep that in mind as characters are killed off when they could easily win. Or how kirby hasnt just won already.
@@skaionex If that were really the case then Kirby wouldn't be such a calamity that he himself destroyed his own universe and is only contained within it. There's also the fact that Snake uses a gun and where the hell does he in a smash game? So yeah no, they have their canon abilities/power, or at the very least most of them
@Moiraxdtt if kirby was his canon self, 1) he wouldn't be as big and 2) he wouldn't be able to be contained and 3) the others wouldn't have gotten away.
And snake having a gun doesn't really put a huge dent in anything tbh. For all we know it was done for simplicity sake since he doesn't last long anyway.
If they are their canon selves then mewtwo wouldn't have gone down so easily and characters like Ness and shulk etc would end it before it begins. Shulk can use the manado to undo it. It would cause huge plot holes/contrivance if they are canon potential so hopefully it's not the case
13:46 they really turned game and watch into Vita Mimic.
And I love it.
Kinda reminds me of an alternate ngl
They really done turned the looney toons ahhh into the vita mimic
Oh hey I know you from Kaburs server, anyway yeah he does look like vita mimic lmao
All shits and giggles until you heard " It's a beautiful day outside-''
Steve: **Creative Tecnique....Great Explosion!**
Good thing Ness absorbed the power of the earth and became one with the universe after collecting the eight melodies, he should be insanely powerful as well, especially with Cappy on his side now. Though I wonder what Lucas is up to. But realistically speaking both should be able to cure the virus via *Healing* (a PSI-Ability in the Mother series which removes any disease, status alignment or anything that alters your original state of being).
I also wonder, if the infected characters keep their abilities. A infected Kirby could be quite dangerous because of his friend hearts (insta turning foes into allies).
But then again this could maybe be like smash only content is a sense so like they can’t use the heal moves and such. That could be a reason why ness didn’t say anything about trying to heal or such
@@Laser-m6wWe saw Snake use a pistol 🤔 hes never used a pistol in the smash games
@Youzan808 to be fair that’s just a normal gun not a ability like throwing hearts or magic so maybe he picked it up possibly from a dead joker or somewhere else after all this is the world of light segment and there’s a good chunk of bases
@@Laser-m6w really doubt Joker is here as they didn't show any sign of DLC characters (also doubt he'll get killed that fast)
@@Youzan808Fair because we saw pretty much nothing for the dlc other then the plant but Kirby is still strong but still got infected but even if it wasn’t that there’s still a whole city so maybe snake got from there.
I was Surprised that cappy was here. Wasn’t expecting such a good au!
I love the detail of how there are random yet consistent minor mispellings, Mess is just kid after all.
They also might just have made some mistakes, Dr. Mario had some, too, and everyone makes mistakes
so basically the infection is just one big stamina battle
A sudden death stamina battle
I love the fact that for snake's death the song is the danganronpa execution song, it's such a small detail but it fits perfectly for the tone and the specific scene it was used for! and even with mewtwo, it's such a perfect idea to use the terrifying yet wonderful songs from danganronpa
a (spins so much I turn into butter lolo mondo reference)
The BDA sounds also play when we see Pichu and Piranha Plant.
16:30 maybe the infected trainer was only chasing him due to Mewtwo being a Pokémon. The infected trainer might’ve thought the MII was another trainer trying to catch Mewtwo.
Maybe the infection still has Abit of their host's personality and powers like how Kirby devoured Og Mario reference how he's hungry for food but thought Mario is food?
@ that may be a possibility, maybe the “virus” can adapt to the host.
@@kataveonevans6224 yeah, and the way G&W sort of played with his food when stalking Luigi and Yoshi, waiting for them to notice him before attacking.
He *gamed* with his prey and *watched* from the darkness.

Good point
0:51 THE WHIPLASH FROM THE CARTOON HORSE TO THE REALISTIC DRAMATIC HORSE GOT ME IM SO SORRY
Ness being a survivor makes sense to me because of a couple of reasons
For 1: "He's the strongest."
For 2: dealt with zombies before
For 3: "He's the strongest."
secret 4th reason: he's sans undertale
For 5: He's gone where no man or alien has gone before beyond the Earth
Man, I hope you do updates on this as often as you can. Genuinely fascinating and the story seems really good.
Imagine being a pokemon that able to freeze time, steal pokemon, shoot powerful projectile, float object, and turn people to stone just to lose to some infected pichu.
Sora can freeze time, shoot fire, cast healing, gravity magic, ice and water powers, wind powers, reflect powers and thunder powers and much more
@Taurus_. I don't think he was trying to say Mewtwo's the strongest character in Smash or anything, just that Mewtwo can do all those things, and somehow dies to/gets infected by Pichu.
I think the characters in this series are only about as powerful as they are in Smash, and can’t perform feats that they could in their own canons.
