"We made including every single fighter ever our number-one goal, so we're kind of hoping you aren't expecting too many new challengers." "That's fine." "That's fair." Still one of my absolute favorite crowd moments ever, really. Especially given what Ultimate's roster has become since.

I wish we had a reaction to Steve and Sephiroth. Those were some massive announcements that we unfortunately never got to see revealed live for this audience. I think the Banjo and Kazooie announcement on this channel will forever be one of my favorite video game reactions.
