I get emotional seeing the fighter roster reveal with all the people cheering, i miss these reaction so much

[@crezzy_9988]

IKR That's why I always search fan reactions etc.

[@rosapaga1776]

If we're still around in about 8 years maybe we'll see the next one ;)

[@cosmiclikesminecraft]

Same, Makes me think of Etika

[@STEVENVUEH599]

Stupid covid

[@lampshade7189]

It makes me really emotional too tbh 😭

[@sweepjk5258]

I would have loved to see the crowd reacting to steve

[@MrAwsome-xw4je]

I like my ears where they are. Thank you

[@LoneRope4]

[@sirenstrike4163]

[@IsabellaCV]

twitter exploded what do you expect?!

[@mr.punisher5100]

20:21 "that's not geno"

[@retierashia]

*”IT’S SMASH!”* *”IT’S NOT!”* *”IT’S SMASH!”* *”IT’S NOT!”* *(collectively cheers)*

[@MrAwsome-xw4je]

50% of smash reveals: knowing it’s a smash reveal and wondering who the character is Other 50%: knowing who the character is and wondering if it’s for smash

[@burke55555]

@@MrAwsome-xw4je pretty accurate

[@KuroFoxxo]

you KNOW they're happy to be wrong if the hype is there either way

[@Bminutes]

“GIVE US THE SWORD! SWORD! SWORD!” Ganondorf swings his sword *”HELL YEAH”* 😂😂😂😂

[@abyanramadhanardiansjah1316]

indeed

[@holeinoneluigi4783]

HYPE GANON MOMENT!!!!

[@MorrisPXG]

He just Mf Yeets the sword

[@aaronpasache1847]

GET DORIYAH'D

[@chloec4127]

Whenever I rewatch the Joker reveal I always get confused at way the ending is so long/slow, then I watch reactions and realized that nintendo took into account people *losing their absolute minds*

[@ArcadeStriker]

The funniest part is how during the "EVERYONE IS HERE" trailer you can actually hear some people *booing* over Bayonetta's reveal lmao also holy shit everybody loved Young Link returning

[@bluesrike]

Bayo breaking the meta of Smash 4 was still pretty fresh on everyone's mind at the time.

[@ThatSneakman]

@@bluesrike Not to mention this was *before* Evo. Imagine if it was after.

[@pebblefattree6404]

8:55 that one person shouting "MINECRAFT STEVE" must feel like a prophet right now

[@jase276]

It was hilarious seeing EVERYONE pop off for ice-climbers

[@Grzysweet89]

Who knew that the one instnace of the dude saying "Yo, Ice Climbers, they really dug deep for that one!" at Melee's reveal would kaboom into this!

[@WhatHuhWhoWhereWhyHow]

Then do the complete opposite for Bayo 🤣🤣

[@Justinforsure]

The pandemic isn't over until we get these reactions back. I don't even play Super Smash Bros, but I love how hype people get over it.

[@realislit8064]

Now imagine the metroid dread reveal in that very room

[@kazakhstanman6121]

That would have been an expirence for sure

[@sunitaagrawal6921]

imagine sans and steve reveal

[@Goleon]

@@sunitaagrawal6921- We got one for Sans.

[@zarielcolon3126]

Imagine Sora.

[@abarette_]

"That's it for this NinDirect." "No actually one more thing" *proceeds to give the now retroactively biggest announcement in Nintendo Switch history EDIT: 26:22 "It's Sephiroth!" man was ahead of its time. it sure was a big hint tho lol

[@theunitedstatesofamerica8930]

That one dude covering his ears when everyone screams LMAOOO 0:56

[@nicolemonrue]

I actually got to go to this and I felt so out of place because I was the oldest person in the room lol...but the enthusiasm was universal....I had the time of my life. Watching this brings back pre pandemic times...good times

[@X2scepten]

When you realize a crocodile created more hype then one of the best fighting games made in its time

[@hamburgtortoise9217]

huh

[@julioornano8427]

Could be...however Donkey Kong has years of fum fan favs

[@mattgassenheimer]

Fatal fury or tekken?

[@flutterboypr6481]

Those were the moments that will live forever. Thank God I was there in every Smash reveal. Thank You Sakurai.

[@Nerdtendo6366]

I love the crowd slowly figuring out the first announcement

[@ElFreakinCid]

I'll always love the way the Isabelle trailer started off framed as a new Animal Crossing teaser, then revealed itself to be a Smash character announcement, before turning into an actual new Animal Crossing teaser.

[@ochuspin]

It’s like the best form of gaslighting

[@AquamentusZero]

All that honest cheering warms my soul. There's a whole lot of people who enjoy their day to the fullest.

[@charact6165]

It’s been 4 years. I miss the amount of hype that was in this room.

[@animeluigiboy]

I love how everyone went from cheering to booing during Piranha Plant’s trailer.

[@otsu3011]

5:54 that guy pointing his thumb to the screen always gets me

[@Anonimo-hf3yi]

"YOOOOOOOO LOOK IT'S SOLID SNAKE"

[@Hunterrobinson-u4f]

The reaction of people to the “EVERYONE IS HERE,” after they saw Snake appeared was amazing! I loved it! ❤️😁

[@jetswim3327]

Its amazing to see complete strangers coming together to enjoy and have fun and experience something amazing together as people. Be nice fellows and stay safe!

[@IceSpoon]

"Don't expect too many new characters" said Sakurai. We got 8 new characters, out of them 4 (Ridley, Simon, Isabelle, Incineroar) were brand new characters, not echo. And that was BEFORE twelve DLC characters, all brand new as well. He told us not to expect a lot, and yet he gave us as much as half of Brawl's roster.

[@A_Random_IRS_B0T_]

I legitimately cried while watching this, someone help me-

[@QwilSchirmer]

That Everyone Is Here.. A special moment for Smash fans

[@porkborgr4333]

I love how they popped off for every character reveal

[@drone16bit10]

Those were the glory days

[@ZonnexNecton]

I was saying Booyanetta. I was one of the few that was excited to see her, but was also excited for Cloud, and especially Solid Snake in the game.

[@DiegoChang]

Back when this game was revealed and i saw these conferences, i had not played a single game from the franchise, but you bet your ass i was so damn happy for these people. Now I'm part of the community, and one can only hope we all get back to being together and being collectively happy about a videogame!

[@corpsekitsune4095]

THE SNAKE REVEAL, THE BOOING OF BAYONETTA , I CANT FUKING BREATHE.

[@illusorybucket5703]

The hype for this game was so amazing. I could watch it over and over and I still get emotional somehow.

[@firstnamelastname5574]

That one kid during the roster reveal probably doesn't know most of those characters but is still hype just to be there 😂 man I wish I was there

[@thatonelem]

They cheered so hard at the roster reveal that the camera started shaking

[@Bwah04]

There's something deeply moving about seeing so many people be passionately happy about something together

[@aidan_548]

Getting to go back down memory lane for this game, it was something truly special!

[@PotatoSoupThe64th]

“So, you wanna fight fire with fire huh?” *”E G G”*

[@mattgassenheimer]

Now, I will bring Smash this pear

[@mariogames168]

Wow, this is just outstanding honesty.

[@TheMrFunny11]

It is really entertaining to watch grown men yell: WOOOOOOOOLF

[@Sayuchq]

i dont know half of these characters and this was 3 years ago btu somehow seeing these people cheer so hard to see thier favourite characters in a game is so heartwarming it actually brings tears to my eyes

[@KonohaRamenNoodles]

Best reaction is Luigi getting fuckin' slayed in Simon's reveal

[@CRHIX]

I love how EVERYONE said BOO when Bayonetta came up in the roster presentation video

[@Veil_z]

I was So happy when sora and sepiroth came out

[@godallmighty6808]

Piranha plant was the hypest thing but also the saddest thing at the same time

[@wanderer4178]

Watching this after the final DLC reveal, I’ll never forget what this time felt like! Thank you Sakurai!

[@sdj0914]

Cant believe its been 5 years already. Wish smash has 3rd package dlc 😢

[@BlazinBro786]

Still cant believe its been 3 years and we have sora as our final character. time sure flies..

[@Nicole84892]

i love these people

[@ProdVegas569]

12:24 I love how everyone is hyped and that one kid on the side is like *who is that*

[@hank2815]

I miss 2018... I think I'm gon' cry...

[@the-royal-chef]

man i love reliving the hype in videos like this.

[@El_Mince]

“SWORD!” “SWORD!” “SWORD!” “YEAAH!”

[@zarielcolon3126]

Pichu: hi The audience: (next level ape)

[@kris.v4640]

Ahh *sigh* that time when we were extremely hyped for the Smash bros Ultimate and we didn't know what was going to happen in 2020.

[@rakapratama7812]

This video (along with other reactions) made me write my graduation paper about Nintendo

[@WannabeMason]

All the girls cheering for: WOOO ZELDA All the guys cheering for: SNAKE OMFGGG

[@convection20]

go back to sleep

[@WannabeMason]

@@convection20 ???

[@SmashFinale]

You don't care about the girl that went "oh my god it's Samus!"?

[@abarette_]

*All the girls cheering for: WOOO CLOUD

[@bjauned]

I went crazy in 2018 when I found out it released on my B-Day

[@IceSpoon]

And after all these years, the "EVERYONE IS HERE" moment is the gaming equivalent of the second coming of Jesus. I'm sure the staff at the Nintendo Store feared the building was going to collapse out of the sheer energy of that moment.

[@devid0008]

i miss that days...

[@ES_Majin]

I wonder how embarrassed the guy who yelled out “SHORYUKEN” when Ken did a haduken

[@Noeabe]

Now I wanna see Live Japanese crowd Reactions.

[@TNight00]

I remember this moment, this was years of hype xD

[@SmugDampe]

holy shit they put mario in smash bros

[@bobblehead7002]

the whole video: *screaming*

[@_dcano]

World peace was achieved for a split second when Snake appeared lol

[@Sugarist0]

Take a shot every time they screamed “yeah”

[@thatanimeweirdo]

I miss these so much!

[@bjnmow]

i love how at bayo people were like “booo”😂😂😂

[@Netbug009]

Mannnnn I do miss the Smash Bros reveals. The hype was always so fun.

[@gmp4483]

Oh man the good old days I miss 2018

[@georgedingus6684]

I like how they go yes then boo at bayonetta, lol.

[@Madeknight]

People cheered for incineroar more than byleth lmao

[@thsudy]

My dad now works at GameStop!!! Also I’m surprised Nintendo doesn’t make a killing off of this. Get an entire theater and charge people to watch you know.

[@jdb2002]

Sad that COVID pretty much killed the Nintendo Direct get togethers at Nintendo's store in NYC.

[@kylestonelake414]

We didn’t know how good we had it

[@tsampson2231]

Gave me such good memories

[@confusedcactus2701]

The glory days.

[@grymlohke9919]

Something re-energizing about smash fans going apeshit for new characters.

[@jaytra7740]

I do hope we get one for the Final Fighter

[@MrAwsome-xw4je]

We better

[@dr.kokiri7013]

Everyone:"YEAAHHHHHHH" Seconds later: "SSHHHHH" A few more seconds later: "YEAHHHHH"

[@Arcsin27]

As a MASSIVE persona fan, I’m almost sad I only heard of it in the smash trailer. I would’ve screamed louder than any of those people if I were a fan beforehand!

[@marshmallowcat2456]

>fans booing at bayo if only they knew what would happen...

[@LeonSKennedy29]

Pichu getting the highest pop makes sence with my fantasy ❤️

[@寿虎-y8i]

アイスクライマーで盛り上がりのギアが上がるの草

[@GolDGreg]

Idk if these people are hype or rude. Like would it be fun or annoying to be there.

[@kobold7964]

Bro it’s HYPE as hell, anyone getting added was hype to watch in that store.

[@mrrfyW]

The good ol’ days of Directs.

[@FranciscoJimenez-de2ds]

I'm crying ...

[@BL_2010_cortos]

Daisy in smash 🌼

[@Odd_Octopus]

I wish I was apart of such a HYPE

[@thomasdocking7629]

I dont love fighting games, but my god smash reveals are something else

[@MajicMarco]

the people screaming "shut up" are so lame lmao

[@ValkyrieMC]

EVERYONE IS HERE

[@MR_GoldenRobloxian]

Still, the sans reaction in terms of volume beats all of them by a landslide

[@quentinholt1464]

Damn I'm Hype for Smash now amd its been out for over 2 years

[@aaronpadley7266]

I understand all the excitement and the passion. But I don’t reckon I could go to these due to the crowds and noise. I’m an old man in a younger guys body 😂

[@jackrogers3657]

A game about building a town with animals and being mayor The fans: OH MY GOD FINALLY

[@mike0o0animates11]

To think that that banner is so empty compared to the amount of characters we have now

[@TriiipleTake]

Im sure that room smelled nice.

[@woomydayz]

I still get chills lol
