its so weird to me that pre-dlc spirits refuse to have the characters using the default alt for spirit battles, it makes some of them really weird as the default skin wouldve been the most fitting alt to go with them
I’m pretty sure it’s because the alts are the “fake” version of the characters since the default ones would be the “real” versions of the characters? that’s just what I always assumed at least
@@mdnaz9889 they’re talking about how no spirit battles use a characters default costume unless the spirit battle is from a DLC character’s spirit board
I think it’s for the lore accuracy, because spirits canonically use clones of the fighters instead of actual fighters, which is why they use alternate costumes to distinguish between the “real” fighter and “fake” spirit fighters. hope this helps
I just want to mention that the only reason the Ribbon Girl spirit battle was changed was because she NEVER had a battle before the ARMs DLC. She was only craftable before. But I guess they decided to add Spring Man and Ribbon Girl to the board in order to have the full cast.
I agree with Gooey being the black alt. Gooey is a very dark blue and Kirby's blue alt doesn't fit that. Plus, Gooey's a Dark Matter, so it just lines up.
One spirit I'd fix is the Pac-Man Ghosts, because they're all represented by a different character and don't look similar at all (including Pac-Man himself representing one for some reason??), but there are 4 Kirby alts that look EXACTLY like each Ghost's original design, so I don't understand why it is the way it is now.
@CoralCopperHead That's not the point. Sure there could be other similar spirit fights, but I'd rather have the fight be accurate to the character it's trying to be rather than be different. If it needs to have something, maybe you can have Pac-Man as an ally who you can't let die like some other ones, y'know?
For Flash Man's spirit, the Timer item is used to represent his weapon, the Time Stopper...even though Shadow the Hedgehog stops opponents in place for a brief moment after slowing them down in Ultimate, which is a much better match for the Time Stopper than the Timer.
That would also reference how Akechi himself is far too jealous of Joker and is a foil to him, so using Joker is far better. If the Akechi battle was hard, that works even better because then it would really show Goro Akechi up. He would think “even possessed Joker fights better than me?” And curse him out in a Saturday Morning Cartoon Villain manner.
the reason the spirits you listed are not in their default costumes are because they appear in World of Light, I belive that spirits that only appear on the spirit board can use the charecters default. it makes sense lore-wise why charecters can't appear with their default costumes in WOL

Actually, the ghast being metallic/artificial has some lore significance.

What has me surprised is that Blaze the Cat's spirit isn't a Lucina mod, or even a subtype where it's a spirit for Sir Percival- Laura Bailey voiced both Lucina and Blaze.
One that I feel needs a change is the Smoky Progg cause outside the Stage it makes no sense at all Mario as a fighter makes no sense given it's a frog like creature so give it a K Rool or Ivysaur for the fighter. Making it occasionally be metal I mean its immune to poison but it literally emits poison gas from its body as it walks so change it to a Poison floor or fog (to represent the smoke). Also its boost as a spirit to give the player Urina (idk how to spell it) makes no sense when again Poison based stuff is a mechanic in the game. And if the issue is that it's the first spirit in the game... then put a Mario spirit first and just put the Smoky Progg a bit later
@@dazcarrr While that's true it's not iconic it still feels dumb that lots of spirits (even ones that are even lesser known) have more accurate fights than it
@@pokefanalex9504 i was saying that as a point towards a different first fight, because smoky progg is in no way a "first enemy" character, and is also practically unheard of outside a relatively small group of people i phrased it a little weirdly
I believe they didn't have a majority of Spirits in their defaults because of World of Light. Since it wouldn't technically make sense story-wise somehow. I guess it's to show that these are just copies of the original fighter, and not the original fighter themselves, so even if the character's original color pallette makes more sense for the Spirit they represent, they use an alt. Spirit Board battles and DLC Spirits don't abide by this rule since they don't take place under the context of Galeem and/or Dharkon controlling the Spirits.
The Spirit Battle for The Odyssey is actually programmed wrong. The conditions list says it uses the "enemy is hard to launch" condition, but in the actual battle, the "easy to launch" effect is applied instead. This can be easily seen by the fact that the easy to launch effect makes the launch physics floatier, while the hard to launch effect makes the physics stiffer. It also increases the knockback the opponent (Jigglypuff) takes from set knockback moves like the first hit of Chrom's up B, and in Ultimate, set knockback moves ignore all knockback modifiers in the game EXCEPT the easy to launch effect in Spirit Battles. I think this actually breaks the Spirit Battle, as the other conditions are that Jigglypuff is giant and she shields often. If the hard to launch effect were applied properly, Jigglypuff would be a lot more resistant to knockback, so the easiest way to KO her within the time limit would likely be to break her shield, which as we all know KO's Jigglypuff instantly. Perhaps this represents the Odyssey getting damaged and crashing...idk but this seems to be how you were INTENDED to beat the Spirit Battle, but because they applied the wrong effect, Jigglypuff is trivially easy to KO normally.
I think that we should fix the spirit battle of Partner Pikachu from the Pokémon series. Chase should be represented by the default male Pokémon Trainer instead of a Mii Brawler in the SSB T-shirt.
Wouldn't one of the Belmonts be better for the Hammer Bros spirit because of the Axe? I mean it travels in the same arc as it, it goes through blocks, and is closer to a hammer than Yoshis egg.
@@iantaakalla8180 Fair enough. Yoshi looks more like a Hammer Bro than the Belmonts (and is as equally annoying). However I always thought the process of spirits went down a ladder of importance of sorts. I.E they base the battle on the moveset similarity before basing it of looks
For the Shadow spirit battle, I like to think the blue Sonic is supposed to reference how Shadow and Sonic were originally supposed to be equals. Also before they decided to start using the default alts.
13:39 GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD
the sonic alt in shadows battle is supposed to represent sonic himself. the reason they didnt choose the default option was because of the equipment sonic gets in the sonic adventure games one that looks really similar to his glowing wristband
yeah but why not use the black sonic alt to represent shadow? like yeah i know shadows already there because of his assist trophy but thats the same thing as waluigi
I'm surprised the Tiki Tak Tribe spirit battle wasn't covered in this video. It resembles them to absolutely zero extent other than the music being from Country Returns. So here's what I thought of instead: Seven Mii fighters wearing a Skull Kid mask to match the tribal aesthetic of the Tikis' designs and some other outfit (haven't thought of which one yet). One of the first four will start with a Pokéball containing a Meloetta, and your left and right controls will reverse, nodding to how they use their music to hypnotize.
I realised that we should fix the spirit battle of Whispy Woods from the Kirby series. The five red Kirbys represented Whispy Woods' apples because they're the main fighters but now they're minions and the main fighter is a invisible green female Villager favoring down special to represent Whispy Woods himself.
I can understand your issue with the defaults being better, but I think the reason Sakurai went with changing palettes a lot was to link with World of Light's lore on spirits and the clones. I personally didn't mind that decisions since I do like details that make things more fleshed and planned out, but I can see where the issue lies. Side note, I love that game mode, despite what the fanbase says.
There are over 1000 spirit battles in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate which means that some of them are intently going certain errors and mistakes. Toady, I'm going to cover a few of the spirit battles that I would change in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and how I would fix them, whether it be by changing the character's alternate costume, condition, rule, stage, the item, the music and even adding in DLC.
9:01 Also, if 9:02 I find it really funny how Petey Piranha from his appearance in the Super Mario Strikers series got a spirit battle but the main version of him doesn't have a spirit battle.
I think Mallow being different across spirits works. In the solo Mallow battle, it focuses on his gameplay role as a black mage. In the Geno battle, it's more about shotgunning through each character from the game, and white Kirby is a quicker shorthand for "this is Mallow" than Robin. Also yeah, it's weird how they avoided default costumes prior to DLC. Which is probably why Bowser Jr. is absent in a lot of battles where he'd fit, if they didn't want to use a Koopaling. Game & Watch seemed to be this weird exception, but then once Joker showed up they just caved and started using defaults more. Also I'd change the background music for various Sonic spirits. Give Sonic Boom to Metal Sonic and give His World to Silver. And give Twintelle's spirit her stage music form ARMS.
Okay, now I know that there are so many spirit battles in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate because there are eighty six fighters that are used in these spirit battles but there are three fighters that are not used in a few spirit battles which are Piranha Plant from the Super Mario series, Terry Bogard from SNK: Fatal Fury series and Sephiroth from the Final Fantasy series.
Kinda strange that Rex's spirit got a stage/music change since Pyra/Mythra's release, but Spring Man didn't get a stage/music change since Min Min's release.
@@Odyssey_Central that WOULD be a pretty interesting concept… shows how much you can represent these characters without actually using those fighters, like conditions, stages, and BGM
I think the reason why the pre dlc spirits didn’t use defaults is that they were made for WOL where the defaults are the main characters, so it wouldn’t make sense to free a character only to see them again being evil
I'm no the only Kirby player here paying more attention to all the Kirby tech than the actual content, right? _I can up-b someone and spike them while grabbing ledge?_
I realised that we should fix the spirit battle of the Tiki Tak Tribe from the Donkey Kong series. The four different colored Diddy Kongs are very close to the Tiki Tak Tribe because the Tiki Tak Tribe is a bunch of floating mask like creatures, so give it seven Mii Brawlers in the Skull Kid Masks and the brown Standard Outfits as the fighters. I remove one condition in the Tiki Tak Tribe spirit battle and I put two which both showcase that only certain Pokémon which is Meloetta will emerge from Poké Balls and your left and right controls will reverse, nodding to how they use their music to hypnotize in Donkey Kong Country: Returns, Donkey Kong Country: Returns 3D and Donkey Kong Country: Returns HD.
I realised that we should fix the spirit battle of the Happy Mask Salesman from the Legend of Zelda series. Dark Young Link is very close to the Happy Mask Salesman, because the Happy Mask Salesman has a Mario mask on his bag, so we should use a purple Mario as the fighter.
I think that we should fix the spirit battle of the Smoky Progg from the Pikmin series. Mario in his black costume as a fighter makes no sense because the Smoky Progg is a frog like creature, so give it a green Greninja or green classic Wario or giant green Kirby as the fighter. Both the condition and rule showcase that the enemy will occasionally turn metal which makes no sense because it means that the floor is poison or the stage is covered in fog.
11:40 in an official mincraft guide book the Ghast is explained to be a robot, so I think it might be a suuuuuper deep cut. Might be a stretch though and they just wanted some variation lol
I think the reason why shadow isn't a black sonic is because the devs considered the possibility that a player could confuse the enemy with the assist trophy
Dang I got here quicker than I thought. :/ Also as someone who likes Spirits and wishes they could be better. I really like this video's idea. Can't wait to see it. :)
I think that we have to fix the spirit battle of the Odyssey from the Super Mario series. One of the conditions showcases that the enemy is hard to launch which makes no sense because it means that the enemy is easy to launch which is a reference in Super Mario Odyssey because the Odyssey is easy to launch and I even change the stage to be Battlefield New Donk City Hall instead of Normal Rainbow Cruise in the Odyssey spirit battle because the Odyssey lives in Metro Kingdom in Super Mario Odyssey.
I think the reason that the Shadow spirit is represented by Sonic alt 3, is because Shadow did originate in Sonic Adventure 2, and since Sonic didn’t have his Soap Shoes in the game, but the Crystal rings on Sonic r actually a reference to what he wears in the first Adventure game, so I guess it kinda makes sense, but then again it’s weird they didn’t use the black alt
I honestly don't know who I would choose to represent Mallow's spirit... Spolier alert for Super Mario RPG: Mallow is someone who was raised by frogs and he believes he's a tadpole, until he learns the truth that he comes from Nimbus Land, a cloud area. So yeah, he's a cloud person... And his powers are weather based like rain, lightning and snow. So I thought of using Lucas or Sora because of their specials but they use fire attacks which Mallow does not. In Mario RPG, Mario is the one with fire attacks so I don't think he would fit that well.. Maybe Lucas would fit better because both of them are described as crybabies and Mallow uses sticks as weapons like Lucas but I have no idea of which costume to pick, maybe the one with the purple t-shirt to represnt Mallow's signature color in SMRPG which is purple. I would also change the stage to be Rainbow Cruise or Skyworld to match the sky theme better.
I realised that we should fix the spirit battle of the Mechakoopa from the Super Mario series. The four tiny yellow Bowsers are very close to the Mechakoopa because the Mechakoopa's head is shaped similar to Lemmy Koopa's head, so give it four invisible Lemmy Koopas that prefer down special as the fighters. The condition showcases that the enemy starts the battle a Bob-omb which makes no sense because it means that the enemy which are the four Lemmy Koopas will prefer down special which spawns Mechakoopas. We should add another condition in the Mechakoopa spirit battle which showcases that the enemy which are the four Lemmy Koopas will become invisible.
I think Sonic's appearance in the Shadow fight is a reference to Sonic Adventure as a whole; His blue alt. has blue wristbands, which are a reference to the Crystal Ring from Sonic Adventure.
I think that we should fix the spirit battle of Geno from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. For Mario, Peach and Bowser in the Geno spirit battle, they're all found in an alternate costume despite not looking any different in Super Mario RPG, so they should be in their default costumes. Mallow in the Geno spirit battle is represented by a grey Kirby which makes sense. Geno is his spirit battle is represented by an indigo Sheik which doesn't make sense, so he should be represented by a Mii Gunner in Geno's costume.
If the Geno spirit battle were to replace Shiek with a Mii Gunner wearing the Geno Mii costume like you said, which I believe is DLC, why not replace Shiek with a brown (I think it's brown) alt. Mega-Man? It would be similar to the Cuphead spirit battle where you'll be fighting Mega-Man representing Cuphead until you purchase the Cuphead Mii costume, replacing Mega-man with a Mii wearing said costume.
I don’t see why they couldn’t repurpose assist trophies to act like fighters so a waluigi fight could be against waluigi considering they can be koed now
In the chaotix battle I think the sonic representing Espio should have been the 8th one, I mean Espio is purple and his classic style has green before the gloves. Also it feels like a crime having them as a novice while multiple others such as infinite are advanced. I get that they aren't Ace even though I would be glad to see that but a novice for a whole team?! Also I have been annoyed that Plessie is novice but Cat peach is ace. What do you think about adding Paper Mario to SSBU?
Yeah I agree. Kirby fits Mallow in terms of appearance, while Robin fits Mallow in terms of function. I kinda wish the representation is more consistent
I guest that it makes sense that we shouldn't fix the spirit battle of Malon from the Legend of Zelda Series because her spirit battle is against Zelda in her white costume instead of her purple costume on the Smashville stage with Cucco items and milk bottles.
I think that we should fix the spirit battle of Beedle from the Legend of Zelda series. For Toon Link in the Beedle spirit battle, he's in his slight green and brown costume which doesn't make any sense, so he should use his default costume instead. I change the stage to be Normal Pirate Ship instead of Battlefield Gaur Plain because Beedle in the Wind Waker is found in his boat in the ocean.
@Odyssey Central Could you do A Video Making EVERY Bendy And The Ink Machine Spirit Battle For Smash Ultimate (that Also Includes Boris And The Dark Survival Bendy In Nightmare Run And Bendy And The Dark Revival?)
I think its baffling that Smoky Progg, which is one of the most terrifying enemies in Pikmin HISTORY is a novice spirit possessing grey Mario, I would've had it be at least an ace spirit, as a giant green Kirby, with poison floor/fog, and on the pikmin stage with the peckish aristocrab cuz its on the ground, seriously WHY IS SMOKY PROGG A NOVICE GREY MARIO
I realised that we should fix the spirit battle of the Hammer Bro from the Super Mario Series. We should add Hammer items in the Hammer Bro spirit battle and also, the yellow Yoshi will start the battle with the Hammer item.

Fun fact in the instruction manual for dreamland two or three I forgot with one you do actually see gooey as a black blob instead of a blue one
9:04 Petey Piranha has a normal spirit but you need to enhance nipper plant.
I would change the Pauline spirit battle to be in omega 75m instead of normal 75m because that stage sucks and makes the battle terrible
My guy pours out the best content constantly
What has me surprised is that Blaze the Cat's spirit isn't a Lucina mod, or even a subtype where it's a spirit for Sir Percival- Laura Bailey voiced both Lucina and Blaze.
I like mask seller battle because it's like he corrupted Link and order it to battle, if deku link was playable it will make sense for me too.
This has to be the earliest I've been to one of your video's! Can't wait to watch it!! 🌟
One that I feel needs a change is the Smoky Progg cause outside the Stage it makes no sense at all
Mario as a fighter makes no sense given it's a frog like creature so give it a K Rool or Ivysaur for the fighter. Making it occasionally be metal I mean its immune to poison but it literally emits poison gas from its body as it walks so change it to a Poison floor or fog (to represent the smoke). Also its boost as a spirit to give the player Urina (idk how to spell it) makes no sense when again Poison based stuff is a mechanic in the game. And if the issue is that it's the first spirit in the game... then put a Mario spirit first and just put the Smoky Progg a bit later
it's not even as if that's an iconic character, there is a good percentage of people who have even played pikmin 1 that never really met this dude
@@dazcarrr While that's true it's not iconic it still feels dumb that lots of spirits (even ones that are even lesser known) have more accurate fights than it
@@pokefanalex9504 i was saying that as a point towards a different first fight, because smoky progg is in no way a "first enemy" character, and is also practically unheard of outside a relatively small group of people
i phrased it a little weirdly
@@dazcarrr ohh I see my bad. I completely agree with that!
I believe they didn't have a majority of Spirits in their defaults because of World of Light. Since it wouldn't technically make sense story-wise somehow. I guess it's to show that these are just copies of the original fighter, and not the original fighter themselves, so even if the character's original color pallette makes more sense for the Spirit they represent, they use an alt. Spirit Board battles and DLC Spirits don't abide by this rule since they don't take place under the context of Galeem and/or Dharkon controlling the Spirits.
The Spirit Battle for The Odyssey is actually programmed wrong. The conditions list says it uses the "enemy is hard to launch" condition, but in the actual battle, the "easy to launch" effect is applied instead. This can be easily seen by the fact that the easy to launch effect makes the launch physics floatier, while the hard to launch effect makes the physics stiffer. It also increases the knockback the opponent (Jigglypuff) takes from set knockback moves like the first hit of Chrom's up B, and in Ultimate, set knockback moves ignore all knockback modifiers in the game EXCEPT the easy to launch effect in Spirit Battles.
I think this actually breaks the Spirit Battle, as the other conditions are that Jigglypuff is giant and she shields often. If the hard to launch effect were applied properly, Jigglypuff would be a lot more resistant to knockback, so the easiest way to KO her within the time limit would likely be to break her shield, which as we all know KO's Jigglypuff instantly. Perhaps this represents the Odyssey getting damaged and crashing...idk but this seems to be how you were INTENDED to beat the Spirit Battle, but because they applied the wrong effect, Jigglypuff is trivially easy to KO normally.
11:44 there is a theory that the ghast is a robot, but i think they just did that for the color
Request: Making a Spirit battle for every boss from Cuphead (not including the DLC bosses when they come out).
*if they come out
Hey man, I want to thank you for putting the best video ever in all your descriptions 😭 It really means a lot haha. I really enjoy your content too
I will continue to put it there for as long as UA-cam has descriptions, can never thank you enough for making that masterpiece
@@Odyssey_Central 11 year old me had a mind of his own
I think that we should fix the spirit battle of Partner Pikachu from the Pokémon series.
Chase should be represented by the default male Pokémon Trainer instead of a Mii Brawler in the SSB T-shirt.
Wouldn't one of the Belmonts be better for the Hammer Bros spirit because of the Axe? I mean it travels in the same arc as it, it goes through blocks, and is closer to a hammer than Yoshis egg.
I guess Yoshi is Mario-related so they went with a character in Mario versus a character not in Mario.
@@iantaakalla8180 Fair enough. Yoshi looks more like a Hammer Bro than the Belmonts (and is as equally annoying). However I always thought the process of spirits went down a ladder of importance of sorts. I.E they base the battle on the moveset similarity before basing it of looks
For the Shadow spirit battle, I like to think the blue Sonic is supposed to reference how Shadow and Sonic were originally supposed to be equals.
Also before they decided to start using the default alts.
You forgot to mention Rex got a mii fighter costume that could be used in his spirit battle
Odyssey is my favorite Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Spirit youtuber
Another obvious change to make is to make the Aegislash spirit represented by Pyra/Mythra. They're literally the Aegis.
I think that we should fix the spirit battle of Andrew Oikonny from the Star Fox series.
We should add a red and orange Wolf as a minion.
1:26 “Dry Bones for Smash!”
It's about time for some of these
13:39 GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD
Geno is from space so the stage choice indeed makes sense
the sonic alt in shadows battle is supposed to represent sonic himself. the reason they didnt choose the default option was because of the equipment sonic gets in the sonic adventure games one that looks really similar to his glowing wristband
yeah but why not use the black sonic alt to represent shadow? like yeah i know shadows already there because of his assist trophy but thats the same thing as waluigi
@@dark.syndrome maybe to reference the duology theming in SA2
You are so close to 100k I'm excited for the moon ranking video keep up the good work
I'm surprised the Tiki Tak Tribe spirit battle wasn't covered in this video. It resembles them to absolutely zero extent other than the music being from Country Returns. So here's what I thought of instead:
Seven Mii fighters wearing a Skull Kid mask to match the tribal aesthetic of the Tikis' designs and some other outfit (haven't thought of which one yet). One of the first four will start with a Pokéball containing a Meloetta, and your left and right controls will reverse, nodding to how they use their music to hypnotize.
I realised that we should fix the spirit battle of Whispy Woods from the Kirby series.
The five red Kirbys represented Whispy Woods' apples because they're the main fighters but now they're minions and the main fighter is a invisible green female Villager favoring down special to represent Whispy Woods himself.
I can understand your issue with the defaults being better, but I think the reason Sakurai went with changing palettes a lot was to link with World of Light's lore on spirits and the clones. I personally didn't mind that decisions since I do like details that make things more fleshed and planned out, but I can see where the issue lies. Side note, I love that game mode, despite what the fanbase says.
There are over 1000 spirit battles in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate which means that some of them are intently going certain errors and mistakes. Toady, I'm going to cover a few of the spirit battles that I would change in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and how I would fix them, whether it be by changing the character's alternate costume, condition, rule, stage, the item, the music and even adding in DLC.
I think that Ness should use his default costume in the Ninten and Ness's father spirit battles.
9:01 Also, if 9:02 I find it really funny how Petey Piranha from his appearance in the Super Mario Strikers series got a spirit battle but the main version of him doesn't have a spirit battle.
I think Mallow being different across spirits works. In the solo Mallow battle, it focuses on his gameplay role as a black mage. In the Geno battle, it's more about shotgunning through each character from the game, and white Kirby is a quicker shorthand for "this is Mallow" than Robin.
Also yeah, it's weird how they avoided default costumes prior to DLC. Which is probably why Bowser Jr. is absent in a lot of battles where he'd fit, if they didn't want to use a Koopaling. Game & Watch seemed to be this weird exception, but then once Joker showed up they just caved and started using defaults more.
Also I'd change the background music for various Sonic spirits. Give Sonic Boom to Metal Sonic and give His World to Silver. And give Twintelle's spirit her stage music form ARMS.
Okay, now I know that there are so many spirit battles in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate because there are eighty six fighters that are used in these spirit battles but there are three fighters that are not used in a few spirit battles which are Piranha Plant from the Super Mario series, Terry Bogard from SNK: Fatal Fury series and Sephiroth from the Final Fantasy series.
Fun fact: in rex’s old Spirit battle the floor was fire do you need a fire resistant spirit to beat the spirit battle
Correct me if I’m wrong
“Strollin’ Bozo” really got me and I don’t know why.
I would actually change the Iron Golem to a white Donkey Kong, to better represent the fact that Iron Golems are physical brutes
And he starts the battle under the effects of a Metal Box, because IRON golem
But ROB looks similar to the iron golem (in terms of appearance)
@@paulinebunag4875 No he freaking doesn't????
@@cam7990Also iron golems are robots
We need to talk about Rouge:
She is represented by fox for some reason. But Bayonetta fits her a thousand times more. For obvious reasons
Oh my goodness Odyssey Central posted a new video my day has gotten 25% more better.
Kinda strange that Rex's spirit got a stage/music change since Pyra/Mythra's release, but Spring Man didn't get a stage/music change since Min Min's release.
Fun Idea: Giving a spirit battle to every playable character in Smash Ultimate
Hmmmmm maybe I could do that but I CANT use the character themselves, that could be interesting 🤔
@@Odyssey_Central Yeah the one rule could be not using the characters themselves or their echo fighters
@@Odyssey_Central that WOULD be a pretty interesting concept… shows how much you can represent these characters without actually using those fighters, like conditions, stages, and BGM
I think the reason why the pre dlc spirits didn’t use defaults is that they were made for WOL where the defaults are the main characters, so it wouldn’t make sense to free a character only to see them again being evil
I'm no the only Kirby player here paying more attention to all the Kirby tech than the actual content, right?
_I can up-b someone and spike them while grabbing ledge?_
I realised that we should fix the spirit battle of the Tiki Tak Tribe from the Donkey Kong series.
The four different colored Diddy Kongs are very close to the Tiki Tak Tribe because the Tiki Tak Tribe is a bunch of floating mask like creatures, so give it seven Mii Brawlers in the Skull Kid Masks and the brown Standard Outfits as the fighters. I remove one condition in the Tiki Tak Tribe spirit battle and I put two which both showcase that only certain Pokémon which is Meloetta will emerge from Poké Balls and your left and right controls will reverse, nodding to how they use their music to hypnotize in Donkey Kong Country: Returns, Donkey Kong Country: Returns 3D and Donkey Kong Country: Returns HD.
When choosing a character, most people use their default costume. Most of the spirits use alts to not confuse new players
I realised that we should fix the spirit battle of the Happy Mask Salesman from the Legend of Zelda series.
Dark Young Link is very close to the Happy Mask Salesman, because the Happy Mask Salesman has a Mario mask on his bag, so we should use a purple Mario as the fighter.
I think that we should fix the spirit battle of the Smoky Progg from the Pikmin series.
Mario in his black costume as a fighter makes no sense because the Smoky Progg is a frog like creature, so give it a green Greninja or green classic Wario or giant green Kirby as the fighter. Both the condition and rule showcase that the enemy will occasionally turn metal which makes no sense because it means that the floor is poison or the stage is covered in fog.
11:40 in an official mincraft guide book the Ghast is explained to be a robot, so I think it might be a suuuuuper deep cut. Might be a stretch though and they just wanted some variation lol
I think the reason why shadow isn't a black sonic is because the devs considered the possibility that a player could confuse the enemy with the assist trophy
Dang I got here quicker than I thought. :/
Also as someone who likes Spirits and wishes they could be better. I really like this video's idea.
Can't wait to see it. :)
I think that we have to fix the spirit battle of the Odyssey from the Super Mario series.
One of the conditions showcases that the enemy is hard to launch which makes no sense because it means that the enemy is easy to launch which is a reference in Super Mario Odyssey because the Odyssey is easy to launch and I even change the stage to be Battlefield New Donk City Hall instead of Normal Rainbow Cruise in the Odyssey spirit battle because the Odyssey lives in Metro Kingdom in Super Mario Odyssey.
9:51 that’s what the mask is

YOU GET WHAT I MEAN
Why does it sound like he ate the microphone
I think the reason that the Shadow spirit is represented by Sonic alt 3, is because Shadow did originate in Sonic Adventure 2, and since Sonic didn’t have his Soap Shoes in the game, but the Crystal rings on Sonic r actually a reference to what he wears in the first Adventure game, so I guess it kinda makes sense, but then again it’s weird they didn’t use the black alt
Congrats at 100k subs!
I honestly don't know who I would choose to represent Mallow's spirit...
Spolier alert for Super Mario RPG:
Mallow is someone who was raised by frogs and he believes he's a tadpole, until he learns the truth that he comes from Nimbus Land, a cloud area. So yeah, he's a cloud person... And his powers are weather based like rain, lightning and snow.
So I thought of using Lucas or Sora because of their specials but they use fire attacks which Mallow does not. In Mario RPG, Mario is the one with fire attacks so I don't think he would fit that well.. Maybe Lucas would fit better because both of them are described as crybabies and Mallow uses sticks as weapons like Lucas but I have no idea of which costume to pick, maybe the one with the purple t-shirt to represnt Mallow's signature color in SMRPG which is purple.
I would also change the stage to be Rainbow Cruise or Skyworld to match the sky theme better.
I think Kirby with Robin's hair would be the best of both worlds; it keeps Mallow's thunder magic without giving him Robin's full elemental set.
I realised that we should fix the spirit battle of the Mechakoopa from the Super Mario series.
The four tiny yellow Bowsers are very close to the Mechakoopa because the Mechakoopa's head is shaped similar to Lemmy Koopa's head, so give it four invisible Lemmy Koopas that prefer down special as the fighters. The condition showcases that the enemy starts the battle a Bob-omb which makes no sense because it means that the enemy which are the four Lemmy Koopas will prefer down special which spawns Mechakoopas. We should add another condition in the Mechakoopa spirit battle which showcases that the enemy which are the four Lemmy Koopas will become invisible.
I think Sonic's appearance in the Shadow fight is a reference to Sonic Adventure as a whole; His blue alt. has blue wristbands, which are a reference to the Crystal Ring from Sonic Adventure.
I think that we should fix the spirit battle of Geno from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.
For Mario, Peach and Bowser in the Geno spirit battle, they're all found in an alternate costume despite not looking any different in Super Mario RPG, so they should be in their default costumes. Mallow in the Geno spirit battle is represented by a grey Kirby which makes sense. Geno is his spirit battle is represented by an indigo Sheik which doesn't make sense, so he should be represented by a Mii Gunner in Geno's costume.
If the Geno spirit battle were to replace Shiek with a Mii Gunner wearing the Geno Mii costume like you said, which I believe is DLC, why not replace Shiek with a brown (I think it's brown) alt. Mega-Man?
It would be similar to the Cuphead spirit battle where you'll be fighting Mega-Man representing Cuphead until you purchase the Cuphead Mii costume, replacing Mega-man with a Mii wearing said costume.
For whatever reason? If they put Sonic in his default costume it would have perfectly matched Sonic and Shadow's rivalry!
12:34 I would agree with this, but Gannon's hair kinda looks like his.
Bruh, i went to bed last night and you had 98.5k subs, and now you have 98.6?! Good job my dude!
I don’t see why they couldn’t repurpose assist trophies to act like fighters so a waluigi fight could be against waluigi considering they can be koed now
In the chaotix battle I think the sonic representing Espio should have been the 8th one, I mean Espio is purple and his classic style has green before the gloves. Also it feels like a crime having them as a novice while multiple others such as infinite are advanced. I get that they aren't Ace even though I would be glad to see that but a novice for a whole team?! Also I have been annoyed that Plessie is novice but Cat peach is ace.
What do you think about adding Paper Mario to SSBU?
Yeah I agree. Kirby fits Mallow in terms of appearance, while Robin fits Mallow in terms of function.
I kinda wish the representation is more consistent
Man it's kinda sad how much work goes into these extra modes for all public consensus on the game to just be "1v1 no smash, no items"
You're Almost at 100K That's great!
Instead of a Mii in a bear costume, the main fighter in the Sukapon spirit battle should be Kirby because they’re pink(?).
I guest that it makes sense that we shouldn't fix the spirit battle of Malon from the Legend of Zelda Series because her spirit battle is against Zelda in her white costume instead of her purple costume on the Smashville stage with Cucco items and milk bottles.
I think that we should fix the spirit battle of Beedle from the Legend of Zelda series.
For Toon Link in the Beedle spirit battle, he's in his slight green and brown costume which doesn't make any sense, so he should use his default costume instead. I change the stage to be Normal Pirate Ship instead of Battlefield Gaur Plain because Beedle in the Wind Waker is found in his boat in the ocean.
@Odyssey Central Could you do A Video Making EVERY Bendy And The Ink Machine Spirit Battle For Smash Ultimate (that Also Includes Boris And The Dark Survival Bendy In Nightmare Run And Bendy And The Dark Revival?)
I think its baffling that Smoky Progg, which is one of the most terrifying enemies in Pikmin HISTORY is a novice spirit possessing grey Mario, I would've had it be at least an ace spirit, as a giant green Kirby, with poison floor/fog, and on the pikmin stage with the peckish aristocrab cuz its on the ground, seriously WHY IS SMOKY PROGG A NOVICE GREY MARIO
I realised that we should fix the spirit battle of the Hammer Bro from the Super Mario Series.
We should add Hammer items in the Hammer Bro spirit battle and also, the yellow Yoshi will start the battle with the Hammer item.
