One note about Chrom’s down taunt: He says the quote “I will not fail!” which is one of the quotes he states when he activated a critical or skill attack.
Bruh Moment Yeah I will admit it does sound like that because of how fast he says it lol. However, I knew it couldn’t be it because that would be a dumb line honestly.
Ken´s and Ryu´s "similar taunts" are the same reference, They have special intro animation in the Street fighter games where they fist bump before the fight. Good video tho!
It kinda hurts when he said it was meant to represent the fact that he was an echo fighter while the pose is used so many times when Ryu is fighting Ken in a ton of street fighter games
@@MT-jd8pc once again he missed another easy recognizable taunt first it was with DK that he missed all of his taunts origins which you can easily be found with his country series. and now with ken side taunt it is easily reference to all of his fighting games after alpha series like snk vs capcom and st5 in fact this side taunt it is picture with ryu on the story mode cover that you buy separate in ps5 online store either he's doing this on purpose so people can comment or lazy research
Worth noting that I THINK Lucina's "I will not lose" is a reference to Awakening. I'm pretty sure she had a line where she said that or something similar.
Simon's down taunt was a reference to Super Castlevania 4, but that pose was also used in Castlevania Chronicles, another remake of CV1 for Sharp X68000 and PSX. As for the Dracula X part, Dracula X is actually a remake/demake of Rondo of Blood released for SNES, since the original wasn't released outside Japan until 2007 with another remake including the original game.
So glad you covered Lucina, and I loved this video in general. Ultimate added alot of my favorite gaming characters, like Chrom, and The Belmonts. So it was super cool to see them get a highlight here
ZufDawg i think if you do a match with ken and ryu or ryu gets ken as his rival match they will fist bump right before it transitions into the match the easiest way to find in is of you watch any sf4 special intro compilations like lordcloudstrife
Oh yes, I've found it here ua-cam.com/video/CbS_HminvBI/v-deo.html, that's cool, I only vaguely remember this so it's cool to see they kept it from 3rd strike
I think Ridley's first taunt can also be a reference to his notorious screams, especially the Metroid Fusion one. Also, I can see the second one as a show of his cunning personality.
I wish Lucina spawned in with her mask on (she would look like her "Masked Marth" version and then once she has taken enough damage her mask would break and her hair would fall down like in the cutscene.
Maybe, but it won't make much sense since a big deal for her character is the fact that she chooses to fight as herself, leaving behind her previous "Marth" persona
James Tran honestly it would be cool if they just did like little Mac where he throws his hoodie off at the start and give her a similar alt where the mask wouldn’t actually come off.
Daisy's side taunt definitely matches her personality. It reminds me of Athena Cykes from Ace Attorney, who has a similar peace sign pose and a very comparable outgoing pseudotomboy personality to Daisy's. Ken's side taunt could also reference his intro animation with Ryu in... I think it was Alpha or III, where the two do a fist bump before starting their matches, which can kind of be re-emulated through this and Ryu's side taunts. This was kept in later iterations afaik, up to Street Fighter V.
Like an origin for specific moves? That would be cool, but he does have an origin series for specific characters. He did two episodes only, though, one for hero and one for Pokémon trainer.
7:15 I’m not sure but that look like one of the special beginning of the match animations when facing Ken Vs Ryu I think in Street fighter third strike.
Hey, I just realized that Daisy's side taunt could've originated from Peach's victory pose from Super Mario RPG, where Peach spins around and puts up a peace sign. Daisy is Peach's echo fighter, so it's possible that they gave her that taunt to show how similar she is to Peach.
The Ryu/Ken taunt is a common intro animation when they face each other in other games. it symbolizes their rivalry and friendship, since they grew up and trained together under the same master.
Ken & Ryu's fistbump Taunt is also a reference to (I wanna say Third Strike, but not sure) where they will Fist bump at the start of matches instead of having their regular intro animations
Ken holding out his fist is more a reference to an intro animation he and Ryu have where they first bump in Street Fighter III third strike. It’s just to go along with that.
I think for the Pokemon you have to also look at the anime to see if any taunts could be pulled from there, we already know the smash team considers what happens in the anime when picking Pokemon to put in the Game
this is just a thought, but I can't help but wonder if Ridley's spinning slash is a reference to him having held the screw attack in one of the metroid games.
The game in question was Metroid Fusion, but I don't think it was a direct reference to that. I see that spin more as a show of his cunning personality.
5:58 Daisy’s side taunt kind of reminds me of Mario getting a star in M64. It doesn’t make much sense for Daisy to have it, but they’re from the same game series... that’s all I got...
Dark Pit's Down taunt is also a reference. When you set the game audio to Japanese, Dark Pit says 死にたいヤツは前に出ろwhich means: "Step right up if you want to die". It is a reference to the level in Uprising where Dark Pit helps you fight the Chaos Kin as he says the quote in the "Pre-Boss Rally Cry"
fun fact: chrom was cut from smash 4 since he was too similar to ike but he was considered enough to get this own render in smash 4 and you can see it by choosing your avatar for online play in smash 4
K. Rool's down taunt is also uncannily similar to his down tilt attack (the burying stomp). Maybe it's meant to be a fake-out, like he infamously did during the first Donkey Kong Country's final battle?
Ken's side taunt was probably also made so he could fist bump with Ryu if both use their side taunts, like they do in their special intro in games like Street Fighter III
Okay so i just wanna let you know respectfully that both Ken and Ryu's side taunt actually comes from the Street Fighter 3 series where Ryu and Ken fist bump each other when they both meet in the same match.
You should've included Piranha Plant since he was clearly finished before release, and was just pushed to DLC to make it do that there would be DLC in the 5 month wait until Joker came out
So because I’m a big ol street fighter fan, I can say that Ryu and Ken’s side taunts are based on a unique animation in many different street fighter games where ken and ryu fist bump before the battle starts
For the next video note that min min says "I love ramen" in Chinese, specifically " wo Hai rá-men!". I don't know if it's only in the victory screens or in the taunts too, but it's a funny thing. Obviously it's the same line she says in arms
technically, Daisy's peace sign taunt mimics EXACTLY to Peach's victory pose from Super Mario RPG. They probably gave it to Daisy cause it fits her personality
7:33 Dracula X is even less of the same game as Rondo of Blood than the MSX2 version of Metal Gear is the same as the NES version of Metal Gear... Still has nothing on Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei not being Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga though lol.
Smash Player sees thumbnail: Ken's pretty cool. I wonder what his taunt origins are? Street Fighter Player sees thumbnail: *Online Third Strike PTSD 100% downloaded. Sidenote: His side taunt matches Ryu's, because in multiple games with special character specific intros he gives Ryu a fist bump. Such as Third Strike and the CvS games.
Kind out of the blue but today i finished writing my if tohru from dragon maid was in smash. I did the moveset,classic mode, and all the other things including taunts.
Would’ve been nice if you mentioned that when Ryu and Ken do their side taunts next to each other, it looks like their SF3 3rd strike special intro. Even Sakurai showed it in his reveal trailer by doing the same thing.
Press 1 to apologize to Lucina :(
First
Oops I pressed alt f4

Also, you were correct in calling her a queen. Because in her timeline, she technically would be one.
Ken and Ryu’s fist bump also comes from SF: 3 as one of the beginning round interactions
holy shit are you the guy from the TrippleJaz premiere 😂
ToastHoodi whoa I remember you too! Strange isn’t it
The fist bump is also in sf4
Another Makoto?
Makoto Naegi how’s living in the outside world going for you
One note about Chrom’s down taunt:

Star Falchion Damn I thought he says “Not fair”

6:00 in japan the the hand gesture is used to represent victory as in v for victory.
we are the only ones that actually pointed that out hahah... It thought more people would comment on this lol
It could also be a reference to Mario’s pose when he gets a moon/star/shine.
4:28 C'mon that's a clear reference to Tony the tiger with his iconic pose an catch phrase "THEY ARE GRRRRREAT"
Ken's up taunt was also his taunt in the Alpha series.
One of Daisy’s taunts should’ve had her say “Hi I’m Daisy!” from Double Dash
Agree!!!
Correction: All of her taunts, all of her victory poses, her entrance, and her Final Smash should have included her saying, "Hi, I'm Daisy!"
This would be more fitting as a stage intro
Yeah, that would've been a nice addition
Hey he didn’t say “what’s up guys it’s aaronitmar”

Worth noting that I THINK Lucina's "I will not lose" is a reference to Awakening. I'm pretty sure she had a line where she said that or something similar.
The first part of Richter’s up taunt is also a reference to the pose he makes when using Hydro Storm in Castlevania Symphony of the Night

Taunts can be so funny when your in the right scenario online
Oh wait..
Well, at least you can still do the ULTIMATE TAUNT online
THE DEDEDE CROUCH
At least you can taunt in battle arenas
ShadowDragonGamer 476
Don’t forget Incineroar who literally Taunts you after hitting you, Dedede’s lay down sure is overrated.
No inklings side taunt is when you throw the controller and it lands on ZR
Kens "C'mon" Taunt/down taunt actually originated in SF3.
Incineroar up taunt is based on Tiger Mask's signature pose.
I wish Lucina spawned in with her mask on (she would look like her "Masked Marth" version and then once she has taken enough damage her mask would break and her hair would fall down like in the cutscene.

@@legendarydragon7097 But then we'd have to get rid of one of her current skins.
Zachary Youngblood just get rid of the Cherche alt since it’s just the Cordelia alt but with less interesting colours.
Let's face it, taunts are the only good emotes in a competitive game ever.
Stop following me
Cade-O Potato what if you’re following them
Have you played third strike? They have a use there so it’s not just taunts.

That would probbably take a very long time to do
that's just kinda the 'know your moves' series
But Sexual Abuser Alax's gone now.
Daisy doing this V in her side taunt is from Mario golf toadstool
7:15 I’m not sure but that look like one of the special beginning of the match animations when facing Ken Vs Ryu I think in Street fighter third strike.
I came for Lucina and I was not disappointed.

2:22 The fact that he doesn't sing HEEEEYAAAAYAAAYAYAAAYAAA! In one of his taunts is an Injustice and violation to the meme law.
He needs it
Daisy's Peace Sign taunt is actually a reference to SM64 when Mario collects a star
Ken & Ryu's fistbump Taunt is also a reference to (I wanna say Third Strike, but not sure) where they will Fist bump at the start of matches instead of having their regular intro animations
Daisy should say "Hi I'm Daisy" in one of her taunts
all* of her taunts
and her victory poses
and her entrance
and her Final Smash
imagine thumbs up terry
"are you okay?"
That could probably rival “you’re too slow!”
I knew the joke of the Ridley standing up taunt the moment I first layed on it... 2018 a much simpler time
Ken holding out his fist is more a reference to an intro animation he and Ryu have where they first bump in Street Fighter III third strike. It’s just to go along with that.
I think for the Pokemon you have to also look at the anime to see if any taunts could be pulled from there, we already know the smash team considers what happens in the anime when picking Pokemon to put in the Game
in japan the "peace" sign is NOT a peace sign... it's a "V" for victory.
... so THAT'S why mario does it so often...
I recently watched all of them today. what a coincidence
Coincidence I think NOT!!!
you haven't seen me and Aaron in the same room 😳
this is just a thought, but I can't help but wonder if Ridley's spinning slash is a reference to him having held the screw attack in one of the metroid games.
The game in question was Metroid Fusion, but I don't think it was a direct reference to that. I see that spin more as a show of his cunning personality.
Is Simon's first one not a nod to the original Castlevania boxart?
Finnaly i have been waitng for this
5:58 Daisy’s side taunt kind of reminds me of Mario getting a star in M64. It doesn’t make much sense for Daisy to have it, but they’re from the same game series... that’s all I got...
solid explanation
PlutoO0 thanks!! 😁
fist bump ken is a reference to the extra animation of a fist bump if he is fighting ryu. not sure from what game tho i haven't played them
Dark Pit's Down taunt is also a reference.
When you set the game audio to Japanese, Dark Pit says 死にたいヤツは前に出ろwhich means: "Step right up if you want to die".
It is a reference to the level in Uprising where Dark Pit helps you fight the Chaos Kin as he says the quote in the "Pre-Boss Rally Cry"
3:22 Alligator Bite Fight
Ken's side-taunt resembles his unique intro animation in SFIII (and other titles) where he and Ryu fist-bump before a fight.
fun fact: chrom was cut from smash 4 since he was too similar to ike but he was considered enough to get this own render in smash 4 and you can see it by choosing your avatar for online play in smash 4
Ken’s side taunt references Ryu & Ken’s fist bump intro.
Pretty sure Simon's up taunt is a reference to Hydro Storm, a super move actually performed originally by Richter
While Ken's down taunt "bring it on" was in Street Fighter 4, it originated from Street Fighter 3, and in that game it had a hitbox.
It also boosted the damage of his next attack by a little. Taunts were nuts in that game lol
K. Rool's down taunt is also uncannily similar to his down tilt attack (the burying stomp). Maybe it's meant to be a fake-out, like he infamously did during the first Donkey Kong Country's final battle?
Lucina forgives you.
Maybe not related, but in that group render of the Melee cast, both Marth and Roy hold their swords out in a pose like Chrom's second taunt.
7:11 It's also because they're bros who fist bump each other all the time...
Ken's side taunt was probably also made so he could fist bump with Ryu if both use their side taunts, like they do in their special intro in games like Street Fighter III
Victory screens next???
My girl Lucina got her chance!
My Favorit has to be Ken's thumb's up taunt
“Yeh!” -Ken Masters
yeah
Well, moveset clone. In canon, Lucina is the great great great great great…great granddaughter of Marth.
