He actually began development on Ultimate after the _release_ of Smash Bros for Wii U. I can only imagine what was going through his head, making this final video for Smash 4, while behind the scenes, he was working on another Smash game. Sakurai is a legend.
"Among negotiable and realizable characters" It was today, October 5th, 2021, Sakurai revealed to us that Sora was 1st place in the ballot this entire time, and he finally made it happen for us. Unbelievable.
@@blankets5782 Disney has a bigger reputation for not allowing anyone else to have anything to do with anything they have legal rights over and as such was probably not even something they could get within the small timeframe of Smash 4's final DLC Character. Nintendo has negotiate with Disney on how to include Sora in Smash in a way that's acceptable to the House of Mouse. It's probably why Donald, Goofy and any other Disney character that isn't originally from Kingdom Hearts doesn't appear anywhere and the Sora's Final Smash features a door with the Smash Logo instead of a Disney Logo. Bayonetta however, is a character already within Nintendo's sphere of influence and as such, nearly zero requirements or hardships to acquire the rights to include in Smash 4, apart from SEGA's small input. Since you know, Bayo 2 was exclusive to Nintendo as well as Bayo 3. Nintendo also has good relations with Platinum Games based upon Bayo 1 port, Bayo 2 and Bayo 3 exclusivity and Astral Chain being on Switch.
And thus we are back at this moment once again. With Sora sending off the game I could only hope one day we will be here again to reminisce on how far this series has come. Thanks Sakurai.
Sakurai: “This is the last thing Smash Bros related, I swear to you.” *Over 2 years later at Nintendo* Sakurai: *bursts through the door* “WHO’S THE GUY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS?!” *points to Smash Bros Ultimate teaser* Everyone: *points to Yoshiaki* Yoshiaki: ..... *runs*
2015: "Bayonetta was one of the top requests in the Super Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot." 2021: "Sora was the most requested character from the Super Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot." *Disney, gotta love 'em.*
What I appreciate that no one seems to acknowledge, is that enough people took the ballot seriously enough to request a legitimate video game character they really wanted, and that choice made it to the top, which was Sora. Sora’s originated from a video game, so that made him a possible contender. The biggest catch was he was owned by Square Enix and Disney. At least joke ballots like Shrek or Goku didn’t reach number one. That would’ve been a slap to the face for Sakurai, since those two are not video game related whatsoever.
@@raider4341because Sakurai has made it clear that only characters that originated first in a videogame can join Smash. That's why Smash fans keep reminding people about this so they shouldn't request any movie, anime, cartoon characters since those won't be joining.
***** If that's the truth then I guess it's justified... but it's still disgusting IMO. She's now the most sexed up female in the game, and she's the ugliest, too. All the other female characters are either attractive or adorable like Jiggly. Bayo just looks like a nerdy lady in her 50's lol
Just think. Tomorrow, after nearly six long years, we will once again have the feeling of finality we've sought for. Whether we're delighted or disappointed, I'm thankful that we've reached this point once again.

+Dennis Fluttershy Releasing the list would cause too much controversy and there would be a huge fan backlash in regards to certain characters not being picked. For Sakurai's mental state, it's better for us to not see it.
+Ben Jenkins Wait so the game is now T-rated meaning kids can't go online? OR buy DLC!?!?!?!??! "Buys 5 copies of the game" FINALLY WE GOT A GOOD NINTENDO GAME!!!!!!!
+Dickson you're gonna pay for shooting shulk in the back! I hope you're in the next smash game so I can beat you down! (obviously joking, but i'd kinda like to see Dickson as at least a boss)
"It should of been this character" "Another fire emblem character" "Screw you Europe" "More swords/counters" "Just salt everywhere" "This is such a disappointment" I'd just showed you all the comments in this video.
Because, Pokemon are cool. We needed one Pokemon for each type. (fire, water, electric, etc) Corrin was put in simply for advertising, since it's been a while since a Fire Emblem game came out.
MeadowSin corrin is a unique character there's nothing wrong with him joining. Also smash is often used for advertising different games, it's nothing new
I can't be the only one that got a little teary-eyed at the end can I? I mean, Smash Bros. really is starting to feel like it's own culture now, in a similar vein to Star Wars or other famous pop cultures. Sakurai has done more than a phenomenal, unmatched job at creating this game, as with everyone else that assisted! They all deserve some rest now!
I'm satisfied and I feel bad that after all that Sakurai and the team has done, they're getting this much hate. We got a dragon and the most voted ballot character! It's amazing! But people are getting mad because their characters aren't getting in. I wanted Shovel Knight but he obviously didn't get in. We're lucky we got DLC at all, so be grateful.
30:19 I seriously hope the upcoming Final Smash Ultimate Presentation will be something like this once it concludes with Sakurai's bow & wave at the very end.
It's been a crazy 3 years of Ultimate, and I already see so many people returning to this video because of Oct 5th's you-know-what We've come full circle!
Sakurai's End Speech made me happy to be apart of the journey Smash Brothers 4 has been through, while we all know most of the characters we requested didn't join the fight, or for some became costumes, I figured that this was not gonna please everyone, as the comment's have proved, but I am totally ok with this, each individual piece of content was created and handled with care, and this has been the largest Smash Brothers we have ever gotten. Take Care Sakurai, we hope to see you in the next installment, whenever that maybe. We thank you for the content you and the team created and we thank you for the opportunity to suggest characters with the Smash Brothers Ballot. All in All Thank You Sakurai and the Team all together, this has been an extraordinary 2 years or 1 1/2 year, you know what I mean.
+Enrique Rico I'm still in shock we got DLC at all, given Sakurai's opinions toward it. And not just DLC, but freaking legendary third party characters like Ryu, Cloud, and Bayonetta, along with a bunch of other fan-favorite Nintendo characters.
I am happy with it too. I love how Lucas, Mewtwo, and especially Roy were brought back into Smash. When the leaks last year showed Dr. Mario was back I hoped that dlc was possible to bring back some vets. I didn't expect Ryu or Cloud to be added and I love their additions. I preordered FE: Fates Special Edition and hope it is good as it will be my 1st FE game if I don't get Awakening by the time of it's release. As for Bayonetta? That is my 3rd favorite franchise. (Behind Xenoblade at 1. and Smash at 2.) People are salty, I kinda am at no Ice Climbers but in comparison to what they added, I think we got much more than what we deserved.
Personal opinion: 1) Cloud: Totally excited! 2) Corrin: Fine, yet not fine; would have been better for Smash 5. 3) Geno costume: There you go. 4) Bayonetta: I officially hate Europe now... Final verdict: Gonna go cry and rant little, but I'll eventually get over it. Still can't believe Shantae didn't get in and K. Rool got reduced to a croc-skin suit. ☹️
even tho I didn't get the character I wanted as dlc this is still the best fighting game roster ever & I've been a fan since the original game smash 64 soo thank you sakurai for your work !
+chris collins Woah!Somebody who accepts the characters in Smash and thanks Sakurais hard work?!There needs to be more people like you dude.(No sarcasm)
Same for me bro. I was kind of salty, but hey at least I found out who Bayonetta now. I welcome every single character that has entered in smash. (Maybe next smash will include Sora from Kingdom hearts. That is my hope for next smash bros if there is gonna be another one.)
+chris collins you need a small loan of 3.5 billion dollars. (I didn't get mah young link tho. Bayo, corrin, and cloud still look cool though (I GOT CLOUD! :D)
+Justin Farina Yeah, as I was. At least we got SOMETHING after all these years ! Now he has a higher chance to get in if Sakurai decides to make SSB5 :)
+David Mejia Jr. (Yellowturtle258) That first one about sums up my reaction as well. I'm really excited for Corrin, especially since his/her moves look so much fun, and they're fairly set apart from the already existing FE characters too. I couldn't really care less about Bayonetta...or even really Cloud I guess (though I'm pleased with him and enjoying him), just give me Corrin XD
Cristian Hernandez I was in the same boat as you until I got one of the Fire Emblem games and gave it a try, I used to just love the characters in Smash Bros. for their own sake. But now that I've actually played the Fire Emblem games and gotten into the series, I love them all even more now. You should give the Fire Emblem series a try sometime, in my personal opinion it's one of if not *the* best Nintendo series out there. The gameplay is fun and all of the characters are really awesome. Definitely something I'd very highly recommend. The best games to start out on would probably be either Awakening (where Robin and Lucina are from) or Fates (where Corrin comes from).
Absol Gamez Haha, same here. I'm going to get Bayoneta anyways, since she looks like she'll be fun to play as and a nice challenge to try and learn play....but overall I don't really care too much about her character or her being in Smash.....I'm *WAY* more excited for Corrin :D
+Jordan Sweeto No chance. She isn't going to be in the next Star Fox, so it wouldn't make sense to bring in a dead character. Honestly, there's more chance of Slippy at this point than Krystal.
+Mochi Rochi Thank you! I thought that I was the only one who felt this way. Why can't people just give love to Daddy Sakuari for just giving us this game in the first place instead of salting over a character which they don't need to buy.
SamHunter9 oh what if I say something crappy about shovel Knight :^) how would you feel about that huh?, and hao 2 eng. And bro you can't get what you always want
+SamHunter9 we can't always get what we want and while Corrin is another FE character, his character design and gameplay look and feel different, so I think he'll be fun to play as. Considering the amount of content that we did get with Smash, I think they did a great job. Plus we get Bayonetta. That's just amazing right there.
+Lucas Bandeira Gobo You didn't wanted her lol. I voted for another character, but i saw people go crazy with bayonetta the first ballot days. Just saying, i liked her :3
It's funny how we went from 2 Fire Emblem characters to 6. I'm super hyped about all this. Corrin looks fun and I'm super excited for Fire Emblem Fates, and Bayonetta is probably my favorite DLC character announced.
+Yami "another fire emblem character ugh what a waste" haha, joking. i actually wanted corrin in smash, pretty surprised it actually happened. pokemon now has some competition in amount of fighters xD
+Alejandro Cardenas I'll I would have rather not seen another Fire Emblem character, Corrin does seem pretty interesting and worth the purchase. With that said, freakin' Bayonetta. This was the one character I absolutely wanted in this game, and now she's coming......and so am I (in excitement). But seriously, think of the ultimate Free-For-All battle: Mario vs. Sonic vs. Pac-Man vs. Megaman vs. Ryu vs. Cloud vs. Bayonetta vs. (maybe) Shulk. If Snake were in the game, he'd be in Shulk's spot in the fight, but I'm not complaining because it's already amazing as it is.
I was pretty mad at the internet that day. I was hoping that Rool would be the final character added. But, his reveal on 08/08/2018 was perfect. That will always be the best Smash direct.
Kameron .H Like Banjo/Kazooie was very possible I know they were top 5 also. Then Bomberman was a miss too. Like Corrin and Ryu I can do with out. I'd rather lose them and bring back Wolf and Snake. But there was so much potential... like I pray one day we get Banjo, Bomberman, Spiro and Crash... they made platforming history!
Sakurai thank you for everything you gave us since Smash Bros created, I wish you and your team all the best in the future on your new titles. And welup here are my fighters that I wanted them: King K. Rool, Isaac, Wolf, Simon, Shantae, Wonder Red, Rayman, Chibi-Robo.
This was pretty disappointing for being the last smash presentation. P.S. Even though it was a bit disappointing for me I still think it is very awesome how Sakurai and his team still brought more characters to be in smash after one year of the game's release. It has been a fun adventure for everyone full of mystery and hype. Thank you Sakurai
I always thought the "among the realizable characters" meant characters like Goku and other anime/non-video game characters were at the top. loool. SORAAAAAAA GOAT
I can't believe he made it to Smash Bros Ultimate I thought we would only get cloud n now his rival this game couldn't get any better long live masahiro sakurai
This presentation was awesome, I appreciate all the content that this game has now, the new dlc are just perfect and I believe this is the best game in the wii, I really thank you for this game. ありがとうございます
obviously right, she was 1st in europe and top 5 in america but probably not in the top 10 in japan but like the rest it must have been too expensive to be in the game or it wasn't a game character sakurai chose her(bayonetta is too one of his favorite characters)
Well folks, since this Is the final announcement for Smash 4, it means they're probably start working In the new title of the franchise after the last DLC releases. Also, I'd like to thank you, Sakurai, for providing us such an amazing game! And here's the characters I'm hoping for the upcoming Smash: Isaac (Golden Sun), Shovel Knight, Shantae, King K. Rool (Donkey Kong), Geno, Wolf (Star Fox), Banjo & Kazooie and Snake (Metal Gear). Though If I have to choose just one, It would've be Isaac, GS Is one of my favorite games of all time and being In Smash would be the kickstart for the 4th game.
"Among realizable characters"
Oh, what a deep meaning those words would have today on 10/05/21.
amen brother
Sakurai is a legend. Sora deserved it whole heartedly. Sakurai deserves a break more than anyone
True legend
Among us
Sora was the true winner all along, I knew something was up
Sakurai is an absolute madman. Right after filming this he just said *"Alright, let's make the next one and bring everyone back."*
no. he did it BEFORE filming this :D
Development started like a couple months after smash 4 came out on the Wii U
That sounds so stressful. Sakurai is am angel
And he did.....
He actually began development on Ultimate after the _release_ of Smash Bros for Wii U. I can only imagine what was going through his head, making this final video for Smash 4, while behind the scenes, he was working on another Smash game. Sakurai is a legend.
Anybody just randomly decided to watch this again for absolutely no reason ?
yes
... Yes XD
Just getting nostalgia before Ultimate
Yes
I guess so...
"Among negotiable and realizable characters"
It was today, October 5th, 2021, Sakurai revealed to us that Sora was 1st place in the ballot this entire time, and he finally made it happen for us. Unbelievable.

i only wonder about the complete results of the ballot, or at least the ten most voted in each region.
Hard to believe that back when this Last Direct cameout , Sakurai already Planned Super Smash Bros Ultimate.
HMG I TheLucasSlayer Ikr true
Maybe that's why Bayo got youst like 1 or 2 nerfs
He actually had the games plan finished by his point. His planning went on for probably the entire cycle of 4s dlc cycle
He wasn't just planning on Ultimate at the time, he was already working on it.
And it's even funnier to think that the father of the newest fighter got in before his son, but only as a Mii costume
(I'm talking about Kazuya)
And thus we are back at this moment once again. With Sora sending off the game I could only hope one day we will be here again to reminisce on how far this series has come.

+MetalSonicReject Gonna be completely honest, I would have been even saltier if Shantae won the poll.
+MetalSonicReject And then there's Golden Sun without any representation except one musical piece on the WiiU Version :X
+MetalSonicReject there isn't going to be a smash 5 bro...
I heard before that this is the LAST smash game.
I'm here to rewatch this video before October 5th.
Same
Anyone complaining about the FE: Fates character needs to shut up: We got goddamm Bayonetta
+Senator Cthulu Yeah, we can complain about her instead
+Senator Cthulu No...We didn't need another one-your move.
which also sucks... remind me why I need to shut up pls.
+Senator Cthulu You don't even know who Corrin is.
Senator Cthulu I wouldn't complain about a good character getting in. Tell me when one does.
Here to watch this before the October 5th presentation
even tho I didn't get the character I wanted as dlc this is still the best fighting game roster ever & I've been a fan since the original game smash 64 soo thank you sakurai for your work !
+chris collins Woah!Somebody who accepts the characters in Smash and thanks Sakurais hard work?!There needs to be more people like you dude.(No sarcasm)
Same for me bro. I was kind of salty, but hey at least I found out who Bayonetta now. I welcome every single character that has entered in smash. (Maybe next smash will include Sora from Kingdom hearts. That is my hope for next smash bros if there is gonna be another one.)
You... I like you
+chris collins you need a small loan of 3.5 billion dollars.
(I didn't get mah young link tho. Bayo, corrin, and cloud still look cool though (I GOT CLOUD! :D)
So what do you think of Super Smash Bros Ultimate now? : D
The thing I got the most hyped for was the Geno Costume
that kinda shows how trash this direct was, eh?
+Justin Farina Yeah hopefully he can appear in other games now.
+Justin Farina I'm glad I wasn't the only one. lol
+Justin Farina Yeah, as I was. At least we got SOMETHING after all these years ! Now he has a higher chance to get in if Sakurai decides to make SSB5 :)
+SuperSmash Apparently you care if you replied ;)
Me: *screams like a girl a new fire emblem character is coming out*
Everyone else: *grabs a gun and points to self*
+David Mejia Jr. (Yellowturtle258) That first one about sums up my reaction as well. I'm really excited for Corrin, especially since his/her moves look so much fun, and they're fairly set apart from the already existing FE characters too.
I couldn't really care less about Bayonetta...or even really Cloud I guess (though I'm pleased with him and enjoying him), just give me Corrin XD
+David Mejia Jr. (Yellowturtle258) I don't even play FE but love each character in Smash. Female Corrin is new waifu next to Pink Female Robin.
When i saw ryoma i almost had an overhype attack, i almost loosed it, and when i saw bayoneta i was like: meh it looks gud
Cristian Hernandez
I was in the same boat as you until I got one of the Fire Emblem games and gave it a try, I used to just love the characters in Smash Bros. for their own sake. But now that I've actually played the Fire Emblem games and gotten into the series, I love them all even more now.
You should give the Fire Emblem series a try sometime, in my personal opinion it's one of if not *the* best Nintendo series out there. The gameplay is fun and all of the characters are really awesome. Definitely something I'd very highly recommend. The best games to start out on would probably be either Awakening (where Robin and Lucina are from) or Fates (where Corrin comes from).
Absol Gamez
Haha, same here. I'm going to get Bayoneta anyways, since she looks like she'll be fun to play as and a nice challenge to try and learn play....but overall I don't really care too much about her character or her being in Smash.....I'm *WAY* more excited for Corrin :D
Now we boutta be at the last one for Ultimate. That’s crazy 🙏
Thankyou Sakurai and team!! This Smash Bros has been amazing :)
I hope we may see *Krystal* join the battle in the next game!
+Kameron .H He says that after every goddamn Smash Bros.
+Santos Nieto even so snake did not make it back in but hey at least we got bayonetta even so her move set is mostly almost like snakes.
+Kameron .H That's what they said about Melee AND Brawl. So hopefully not
+Jordan Sweeto No chance. She isn't going to be in the next Star Fox, so it wouldn't make sense to bring in a dead character. Honestly, there's more chance of Slippy at this point than Krystal.
Bayonetta
+Mochi Rochi Thank you! I thought that I was the only one who felt this way. Why can't people just give love to Daddy Sakuari for just giving us this game in the first place instead of salting over a character which they don't need to buy.
They could release a new game in 5, 8 years and I wouldn't really care. They deserve a long, relaxing vacation.
SamHunter9 oh what if I say something crappy about shovel Knight :^) how would you feel about that huh?, and hao 2 eng. And bro you can't get what you always want
+SamHunter9 we can't always get what we want and while Corrin is another FE character, his character design and gameplay look and feel different, so I think he'll be fun to play as.
Considering the amount of content that we did get with Smash, I think they did a great job. Plus we get Bayonetta. That's just amazing right there.
My Originality Right Down the Toilet give this man a reward
now here for the final smash ULTIMATE Presentation.
And now Ultimate is over too. Thank you for everything Sakurai!!!
Fans " Stop with the Fire Emblem characters"
Sakurai "lol more FE... also I'll ignore the entire ballot"
Nintendo said that Bayonetta was overall #1 in the ballot. How is that ignoring the ballot?
+Mr. GameCrazy He's just mad his vote didn't win. That's all.
and stated realizable and negotiable characters.
+Mr. GameCrazy Uhh they lied? Cuz, you know, no one wanted her :3
+Lucas Bandeira Gobo You didn't wanted her lol. I voted for another character, but i saw people go crazy with bayonetta the first ballot days. Just saying, i liked her :3
We were so innocent back then
Pffff 500 Songs, 58 fighters and 84 stages, that's nothing anymore.
@@TurtleLover300 Over 900+ songs, 80 total fighters, and 103 stages. ACHIEVEMENT.
Honestly the Smash fanbase isn’t as toxic anymore if that’s what you mean by innocent
@@JayCeeCreates Now it's over 1000 songs, over 80 characters and over 110 stages!!
@@JayCeeCreates *"It's evolution, Stone.....IT'S EVOLUTION!"*
It's funny how we went from 2 Fire Emblem characters to 6. I'm super hyped about all this. Corrin looks fun and I'm super excited for Fire Emblem Fates, and Bayonetta is probably my favorite DLC character announced.
watch here comes the fans saying "another fire emblem character ugh what a waste" XD
+Yami I was hoping for another Mother character but when i saw the trailer for Kamui, i was hyped. Especially Beyonetta.
+Yami "another fire emblem character ugh what a waste"
haha, joking. i actually wanted corrin in smash, pretty surprised it actually happened. pokemon now has some competition in amount of fighters xD
+Alejandro Cardenas I'll I would have rather not seen another Fire Emblem character, Corrin does seem pretty interesting and worth the purchase.
With that said, freakin' Bayonetta. This was the one character I absolutely wanted in this game, and now she's coming......and so am I (in excitement).
But seriously, think of the ultimate Free-For-All battle: Mario vs. Sonic vs. Pac-Man vs. Megaman vs. Ryu vs. Cloud vs. Bayonetta vs. (maybe) Shulk.
If Snake were in the game, he'd be in Shulk's spot in the fight, but I'm not complaining because it's already amazing as it is.
+sonicrulse1011 and the mario characters don't forget
Crazy to think now were about to be at the last presentation for ultimate...
Yep.
Ikr!!!
34:56 for the Shrek trailer
HYPE THE OGRELORD IS COMING
+fredbtwist It's all ogre now
+fredbtwist Dammit I want John Cena
+fredbtwist nice meme
BEST CHARACTER TRAILER EVER!
I was pretty mad at the internet that day. I was hoping that Rool would be the final character added. But, his reveal on 08/08/2018 was perfect. That will always be the best Smash direct.
Who else thinks that Super Smash Bros 4 should be in a guinness world record book
+TheUndeadHerobrine
I skimmed through the 2015 edtion, i believe it was, and it had recognition on several achievements.
+TheUndeadHerobrine Most dissapointing nintendo game? Yeah I'd go for that one.
MrDylan9023 hey, im sad too that some characters didn't get picked, but it wasn't as dissapointing. C'mon, we got Megaman, Pac Man, Ryu, and Mewtwo!
+MrDylan9023 You are an idiot. It sold so many copies it isn't funny.
+MrDylan9023 Most ironically raging, apologist, close minded about anyone who doesn't like something in here fanbase? I'd go with that too.
Now we know who 1st in the ballot was out of “un”realizable characters.
Screw the haters, Sakurai did a fantastic job with this DLC! Playing as Cloud is loads of fun, and I can't wait to give Corrin and Bayonetta a try!
Bowmaj 86 I’m not a hater. But people for some reason didn’t like her in fire emblem
How wrong you were...
Colin GZ // Gamer Boy it was because of how whiny corrin's personality was about fighting
Bayo is SO ANNOYING
Oh noes
I have never been disappointed with any Smash bros announcement up until now
Same
Why? Grow up bra. That's the majority's choice.
+SteveDoidoUltimate I don't care, I'm still pretty dissapointed
Fire emblem doesn't need 6 characters wtf
+Nerdicai
Bayonetta is amazing. Fire Emblem is amazing. You are just salty
22:10 so now we know Sora was actually higher than Bayonetta here. I voted for Neku from TWEWY personally but he was definitely another one I wanted.
32:20
*"And with that, I thank you!"*
And it was at this moment that development for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate began.
After watching this, I can’t believe Ultimate’s last presentation is almost upon us
More like, now......
in 3 days :((
Remember when everyone thought ‘damn! This corrin guy has a lot of range!’ Ha good times
Now: INTRODUCING MIN MIN!!!
@@hwtvi3466 Now: INTRODUCING SEPHIROTH
Remember when everyone thought: Damn! This Simon guy has alot of range!
29:20
"showcasing the fight between light and dark"
the *villager* and *Mac* are on the right
Sakurai 2015: "I believe these are record high numbers for a competitive action game."
Sakurai 2018: "Nope, still not enough."
I've never been more disappointed.
They're going for "cool" characters instead of the nostalgic one we desire!!! I hate it a bit.
TOO MANG HUMAN CHARACTERS JESUS CHRIST
+Brandon71060 why
Kameron .H Like Banjo/Kazooie was very possible I know they were top 5 also. Then Bomberman was a miss too. Like Corrin and Ryu I can do with out. I'd rather lose them and bring back Wolf and Snake. But there was so much potential... like I pray one day we get Banjo, Bomberman, Spiro and Crash... they made platforming history!
I want nostalgic characters like
banjo-kazooie
Sakurai thank you for everything you gave us since Smash Bros created, I wish you and your team all the best in the future on your new titles.
And welup here are my fighters that I wanted them:
King K. Rool, Isaac, Wolf, Simon, Shantae, Wonder Red, Rayman, Chibi-Robo.
+NinStation 64
Too damn bad Simon didn't get into Smash... :/
And shovel knight 👍
You Salty?
SALTYYYYYYYY
+NinStation 64 Wonder Red was my most wanted, and while I didn't get him, Bayonetta was the next best candidate.
Rip Wolf
Rip snake
Rip king k rool
Rip shantae
Rip shovel knight
Rip Isaac
Rip rayman
Rip banjo kazooie
+brooklyn masfield rip sora
rip inklings
+brooklyn masfield RIP Princess Daisy *cries intensley*
+brooklyn masfield you, are a god to us commoners.
sakurai did state negotiable and realizable characters.
+brooklyn masfield Snake had no chance of coming back, thanks to Konami being Konami.
wow another 4 years has come by and I found myself watching this again. I just get nostalgic for these presentations!
Super Smash Bros is the video game series ever I love all of them 64, Melee, Brawl, 3DS and Wii U and Ultimate
This was pretty disappointing for being the last smash presentation.
P.S. Even though it was a bit disappointing for me I still think it is very awesome how Sakurai and his team still brought more characters to be in smash after one year of the game's release. It has been a fun adventure for everyone full of mystery and hype. Thank you Sakurai
Agreed
+Angel UA-cam You have to admit, it was awesome seeing Bayonetta join the fight
+Matheus Campos disappointing*
+Matheus Campos it was shocking, but I'm still disappointed
+Angel UA-cam It was ok...
"A counter move familiar to fans of fire emblem fighters"
I don't remember Ike's counter killing *AT ZERO PERCENT!*
Sakurai, u da beast.
My god, people can be so ungrateful. I'm happy with ALL the DLC characters.
+Trevor Amen.
Me too
Same here
iiio9o
im just glad lucas came back!!!
To be honest. I lost my Hype in the first minute.
I did too then they showed bayonetta and god...my fav is now super smash bros fighter yess!
well me too a little
same here
same
+xander trejo Yeah, poor choice to reveal another fire emblem character first I think. Really dehyped the rest of the trailer.
30:40 - 33:16
If they do this again for the final Ultimate character presents I might cry.
Me too 😭 especially with a final montage of everyone including dlc with lifelight playing, mirroring the trailer from e3.
For sure, considering ulti is the last smash bros ever
Sitting here thinking about the final Ultimate direct 🥰🥵🥶🥺😔🤝
@@MattDustyParker same.....
yep
I wanted Shovel Knight, but I'm happy nonetheless.
Same
Oh GOD SHOVEL KNIGHT!!! YES! Damn he should have been in the roster :((
I wanted banjo and kazooie but I'm still satisfied.
join the club
the club of like 8 million
I always thought the "among the realizable characters" meant characters like Goku and other anime/non-video game characters were at the top. loool. SORAAAAAAA GOAT
Just thought I should stop by here before the final ultimate presentation begins
Did anyone else notice that Pit is blushing harder than a Christmas tree ornament after being grabbed by Bayo a 20:18?
I wonder...
My Mind. You broke my mind. YOU MONSTER!!!!!!!!!! :p
+Dreamer Pfft. He blushes when anyone grabs him.
+MiDuWay Oh, didn't know that.
+Axel Pingol I dont think bayo should be in, but pit and pittoo fighting together was cool.
***** yeah, were all salty here.
But why, you might ask?
Cuase Samurai trolled.
Lets keep our own humanity in sight.
2018 any one
Also SMASH ON SWITCH
GBR47 you mean smash ultimate
M Gamer
It’s still smash on switch
Xdxd
Yuh
I'm in 1 more month left for ultimate
Here because of Sephiroth, and man I can't believe I still remember this
I can't believe he made it to Smash Bros Ultimate I thought we would only get cloud n now his rival this game couldn't get any better long live masahiro sakurai
33:04 I love that Melee reference
5 years later, Cloud is still awesome and he brought his arch-nemesis, and they're both powerful!
It's been over a year, and watching the Bayonetta reveal trailer still gets me hyped!
Here before the final Smash Ultimate presentation. Man how time flies!
Corrin plays like the goddamn T-1000. LOVE IT!
+Brendan Moore S/he'll be back.
***** GOD DAMN IT!
God, hard to believe it's been 5 years since Cloud was announced. Now Sephiroth is coming to Smash? Good times, y'all.🙏
I bet Shrek got first place in the North America part of the ballot.
+Grandpa Parrot Cartman got first place. Ha ha.
TonyKanameKuran Really?
Grandpa Parrot Respect his authoritah!
TonyKanameKuran Yes, suh!
The top five in us is probably:
1. Goku
2. Shrek
3. Bayonetta
4. Shantae
5. Shovel Knight
nobody:
absolutely nobody on earth:
etika: *B A Y O N E T T A ? !*
R.i.p
Who else randomly wanted to watch this before the final smash ultimate direct.
3 years later and ultimate just completely blows this out of the water
Bayonetta is still the best newcomer.
@@Lalapopsy GUH-NO

This presentation was awesome, I appreciate all the content that this game has now, the new dlc are just perfect and I believe this is the best game in the wii, I really thank you for this game. ありがとうございます
wii u*
"*Among realizable characters"
So not number 1
obviously right, she was 1st in europe and top 5 in america but probably not in the top 10 in japan but like the rest it must have been too expensive to be in the game or it wasn't a game character sakurai chose her(bayonetta is too one of his favorite characters)
Little did people know that Nintendo had kept their best secret for almost six years.
God bless you sakurai
Funny how this popped up in my recommendations after the recent game just ended 😔
Sakurai signing off on this last presentation legit made me cry when I saw it live lol
End of the Smash 4 era. The birth of Smash Ultimate awakens.
Well folks, since this Is the final announcement for Smash 4, it means they're probably start working In the new title of the franchise after the last DLC releases. Also, I'd like to thank you, Sakurai, for providing us such an amazing game!
And here's the characters I'm hoping for the upcoming Smash:
Isaac (Golden Sun), Shovel Knight, Shantae, King K. Rool (Donkey Kong), Geno, Wolf (Star Fox), Banjo & Kazooie and Snake (Metal Gear).
Though If I have to choose just one, It would've be Isaac, GS Is one of my favorite games of all time and being In Smash would be the kickstart for the 4th game.
Thanks to Konami, we can kiss Snake goodbye for Smash.
Seriously. Isaac would make up for everything questionable that Saky has ever done.
+everybodyknowslego *quit
+Franco Rossel Likewise with Simon Belmont.
+The Cardiackid But then there's the fact everyone would complain about him having a sword.
It's an interesting thing, watching this after the reveal of Sora and the final presentation of Smash Ultimate.
No Sakurai, thank YOU for taking us on this journey. We love this series, and always will.
Not anymore SMASH ULTIMATE IS F####ING COMING YOU 2016 FREAK
Sorry for saying that
This just came up in my recommended I remember the hype on this day was soo high you could feel it everywhere
