Does Mr. Game & Watch Have EYES? -- Smash Ultimate Wiki Trivia

[@rat_samurai]

In the Russian name of Game&Watch "Г-н" stands for Господин (gospodin), which is also translated as mister. We have our own version of word "mister" (мистер) and it pronounced the same as in English, but we don't use its short version "Mr.", it just doesn't translates to Russian, so I think because of that our translators decided to use the short version of the other word which has the same meaning.

[@strawberryjim]

Yes

[@heroessquad2019]

Funny...Because we have our own translated "Mr." in French. It's "M.", Although never appears in the game. Hmmm.

[@Supersonicblue1027]

@@heroessquad2019 well they probably thought it'd be confusing for most people or maybe it's because over there Mr. Game & Watch was released with that name back when it first came out over there so I guess it's more of a reference for you all in the French version.

[@heroessquad2019]

@@Supersonicblue1027 I see

[@philippeleprohon4823]

@@heroessquad2019 I mean, yea, but in French he still is named 'Game and Watch', so I can understand why they went with 'Mister (Mr.) Game & Watch' instead of 'Monsieur (M.) Game & Watch'. Plus the character's name is the full thing, not just 'Game & Watch', as that is a console genre.

[@LinkMann1000]

As someone who speaks German, I can understand why "Dunkle Samus" if funny. What I personally find more interesting is the Fact, that each of the Dark Characters (Dark Pit, Dark Samus and Dark Link) use 3 different Words in German to say "Dark". Fintsterer Pit, Dunkle Samus and Link's Dark Color pallet gets called Schatten-Link. (Basically Shadow Link). The last one isn't in the Character Select, but I'm pretty sure it was in a Description or in a Mission in Melee or Brawl.

[@jeezuhskriste5759]

That _is_ very interesting. I wonder why they chose 3 different words

[@peterpansexuell]

@@jeezuhskriste5759 because they are from different games, i.e. different contexts to consider when translating

[@GumshoeClassic]

The thing that is especially odd to me is that they use "finster", a word implying something is sinister or evil, for Dark Pit. Yes, he's Pit's "Dark Side" but I mean... he actively helps the good guys. Dark Samus is the cruel villain of the two yet *that* character is described using the more neutral "dunkel".

"not really a carbon copy, a hydrogen copy maybe" If you wanted to be not quite carbon, say silicon, it has very many very similar properties, and some different properties. Its basically an echo fighter for carbon. Hydrogen has like no properties in common with any element, it's probably one of the most unique elements in our universe, it ain't copying anything.

[@Casual_PKBeats]

I was trying to play it off as a sorta "lower tier down" ideal since, especially in biochemistry/organic chemistry, hydrogen is basically everywhere around carbon elements (so much of it to the point where graphs just imply its existence), so it almost gives off a sorta "outer layer" vibe, or I'unno that was my thought process lol But I do appreciate the more logical analysis of that quip, going down a column on the periodic table would've been a better mindset lmao

[@bradevit2446]

Speaking of which - and I'm pretty sure you noticed that too - a fighter is only officially considered an echo fighter in Smash Ultimate if he/she was introduced in Smash 4 or later. That's why Roy isn't an echo fighter of Marth, but Chrome is an echo fighter of Roy. Still weird to me, because my head always thinks Chrome is an echo fighter of Ike because of his Up-B.

[@xdsmile5359]

I imagine the reason Roy's running animation was changed back was because his arm was clipping his cape through that entire short clip, and presumably through his entire dash.

[@Awesomeness-iz3dh]

The way G&W looks top-down is hysterical. Just nothing there. Floating super scope.

[@tacticaljunk1608]

It's assumed that Chrom is an echo of Roy instead of Ike because canonically Lucina and Chrom have identical fighting styles.

[@jstar3382]

With level of detail chrom has (all the reverse grip moves being normal) he should be treated as damn near a separate character

[@Casual_PKBeats]

This does make sense, though it also becomes another one of those things where they sacrificed gameplay interest for some small idea of canon, despite many other canon breaks throughout the series for the converse reason. I think they coulda taken the creative liberty, but yeah you're right, it does make SENSE from that perspective

[@TheEquestrianGallade]

Unfortunately, that just brings about a similar problem in reverse: Chrom fights nothing like Marth, so why isn't Chrom a separate character with a new moveset with Lucina as his echo? I mean, I know it's because Sm4sh came first with it's terrible decision making regarding the Awakening crew, but think of the lost potential.

[@endorb]

@@Casual_PKBeats I'm kinda sad you didn't mention how in the smash 4 guidance, they specifically mention Chrom not using Aether. The one move he has that's completely different than Roy.

[@ivrydice0954]

@@TheEquestrianGallade Chrom doesn't fight like Marth in game but they share some similar animations due Lucina pretending to be Marth and Chrom sharing a style with his daughter. It's like why Falco & Fox and Mario & Luigihave some similar attacks but don't maintain a playstyle between the 2.

[@CanvasK]

There's a couple reasons why Lucina's cape change isn't on her character page. The first is that costume stuff tends to not be "interesting enough" to go in a character's trivia section. The second is that trivia that spans multiple games will often go on their general page (the ones without SSB_) unless it is something along the lines of "There was a glaring flaw in X game. It was not fixed in this one". Of course you'll find exceptions to both here and there as policies change years later, more pages get made, editors become disinterested in or can't check certain games, so on and so forth.

[@ArdorG.]

What’s even more ironic about Chrom not being an Ike echo is the fact that Viridi mentions that while he would be a “carbon copy”, he wouldn’t even have a recovery move like Aether. The move they say he wouldn’t have from Ike is the only one he does have from Ike. Viridi was wrong about how Chrom would play in every single possible way.

[@biivamunner3122]

I think Palutena said the thing about aether

[@eizzah8323]

For Lucina : the emblem on 6/8 alts is the same that Chrom has on one of his shoulders, and is the symbol of their dynasty (Lucina is Chrom's daughter and has that symbol in her left eye) The Tharja alt has the eyes of Grima, the antagonist of FE Awakening (and a similar symbol is on Robin's cloak) The Tiki alt references the dragons of that universe, Tiki being a Manakete (human-dragon hybrid, with dragons being divinities in FE, and particularly Awakening)

[@EndertheDragon0922]

Adding onto your comment with further info and context for the people reading: This isn’t directly related to your comment so much as the overall video but I think it’s worth mentioning that Chrom and Lucina are direct descendants of Marth, which is why they’re clones of him. They even wield the same sword, Falchion… maybe. I’m not actually sure why it looks so different, I don’t think that’s ever explained. Despite having blue hair, Ike is not related. Roy is also not related, which is why it’s odd that he’s a clone. Tharja has the eyes of Grima because she’s from Plegia, a nation associated with Grima, as opposed to being directly associated with him herself. Tiki isn’t a hybrid. She’s a pure blooded dragon, they’re just able to take human forms. There is a half-dragon in the game, and she has red scales instead of yellow or white. Tiki even directly brings this up: “Throughout my millennia of life in this world, every manakete has been of pure blood. ...Until you. You are unique-the first of our kind to have a human father.”

[@Robbie_Haruna]

Just so you know PKBeats, another way to see the 3D Game & Watch model is in the Amiibo menu. When you're viewing an Amiibo you can rotate them with the right stick and doing so for Game & Watch doesn't have the 2D effect applied to it. So you get cursed 3D Game & Watch in all its glory.

iirc in Melee (Roy's first appearance), his playable model didn't have a sheath at all, when he didn't have the sword in hand it would just kinda float around his waist as if it was inside a sheath. But one of his trophies resembling his taunt DID have a sheath. So I'm guessing it might be a mistake getting carried over from past Smash games

One of the best ways to get a look at Game & Watch’s 3D nature is to use his Amiibo! In the amiibo menu with him, he’s completely 3D for some reason instead of his usual two dimensions and you can turn him around as much as you’d like!

[@ShizBliz10]

I like the unnecessary detail how for when Meta Knight does the highest part of his neutral attack, he flips his blade a little bit to slam it down leading back into his left and right format

[@ListlessWither]

A fact about Roy I've never seen mentioned that very subtly also effects Chrom is that if you use Neutral B and do the turnaround animation I think once or twice the effect on their swords break.

[@BreakerBoxx]

The devs for Smash needed to individualize SFX so that multihits play out a little more sensibly when a timer is activated or training mode speed is lowered. It happens for most characters with multihits.

Roy has his scabbard in his Ultimate render too. Interesting... Also as for Chrom's Flare Blade it could be referring to the light of his blade rather than flame. Because flare can mean a sudden burst for flames or light. Edit: His shadow alone already looks 3D right here lol. 9:00

[@skorie6180]

I think Chrom was an echo of Roy because in Fire Emblem Awakening, it's said Chrom and Lucina fight in the exact same way since Chrom taught her how to fight. I doubt the developers even considered this tbh but this is my headcanon about why Roy was chosen as the echo base.

[@velvetbutterfly]

That's very likely why though Chrom also doesn't have things like Ike's eruption for a neutral special

[@KainYusanagi]

No, that is almost definitely why Sakurai did; he's a huge FE nerd and that's why there's so many FE characters included, lol.

[@zacattack763]

You COULD use the spirit ability "First Strike Advantage" to turn invincible to set up Ganondorf's invincible taunt

[@seansean792]

13:59 I remember reading an interview about why Kirby was chosen at the start, it probably answers this. Other characters like Beyonetta couldn't travel to purgatory to escape because everyone there had already been consumed by the light. It's not that hard to assume Viridi was already consumed as well- with all the clever assumptions you make or think to test out, I'm surprised you didn't get that one. Of course there's also, "because the animators wanted to have Pit and Dark Pit lose their flight when Palutena was consumed" which of course, also isn't that difficult to imagine, but it doesn't sound as interesting as the first one.

[@mr.sadboi652]

The detail of Mr Game and watch's eyes also applies to Piranha plant, but strangely the "flash" that appears is on the upper lip for some reason, and not on a spot or something

[@Liggliluff]

(11:50) Considering G&W was released in April, and Ultimate in December, that makes it 38 years and 8 months, which is closer to 39 than 38. Also considering how close it is to the end of 2018, it might have been planned for 2019? ... It's most likely a pun though.

I love these videos. Not only do you take your time for research but you also point out things that the dev team has missed. This shows that even with tens of thousands of changes made, there are still some things that will go under the radar. Nothing game breaking though but if you are a fan of a represented series, then those nitpicks (be it bigger or small) kinda bug you. Anyway, I still hope that we'll get a physical release with all the DLC, modes and costumes someday for the sake of game preservation, even though chances seem to be slim in my opinion.

[@freeformboozler]

Little fun bonus for the meta knight jab fact, he had a distinctly different (and much worse) jab in Brawl, which has the same rhythm of slice sounds except they actually DO match the animation. It seems they based the sound effect on the brawl version of the move even though he's had a different jab ever since smash 4

[@cloudluigigreenblue9349]

I think the reason why Pit has the Lightning Chariot as his final smash is because of the Palutena conversation against Dark Pit, The Lightning chariot was under Dark Pit’s command but I’d imagine Pit won the fight and now has possession of the Chariot.

[@mettatonex7221]

To me there's a pretty obvious reason Chrom was modeled after Roy instead of Ike. Because he needs to maintain a similar fighting style to Lucina. In canon, Lucina learned how to fight from Chrom, which makes sense because she's his daughter and she even uses the same sword, and in games like Awakening and Warriors, they are echoes of each other to drive this home. So it would come across weird if Chrom was all of a sudden mimicking a fighter that fights completely different to Lucina. That being said, a lot of people would also agree that in spirit Chrom fights a more agro style to the likes of Ike as opposed to the more controlled and graceful style Marth brings to the table, who Lucina is only echoing because it's thematically appropriate as a woman who was masquerading as Marth for the early parts of Awakening. So the middle ground is having Chrom echo Roy, who still maintains a lot of Marth's playstyle but has since adopted a more rushdown heavy style, and just gave him Soaring Slash to compensate.

Mr. Game & Watch's transformations are also 3D modeled, just modeled flat from what I understand. The texture looks weird because of the fact that the metal texture is specifically mapped for the standard body to look like round depth. Game & Watch normally being a solid color means the textures don't get changed for every little form, so the other models aren't mapped correctly. That's even more clear when you replace the G&W texture with an image

[@MrNicosaure]

The Mr Game & Watch bit is most likely to keep the announcer consistant with how they say his name, while each language gets their own spin on name pronunciation, Mr G&W stays roughly the same because he's representative of a console, the Game & Watch systems, Mister being a title in this case, kinda how miss and mister are titles in beauty contests (ie "Miss France" in a country that has 3 different ways to say miss but they keep the English term instead), what I'm saying is that's not his name, that's his job/title, Mister "Game & Watch"™ It would be like calling Mario Mr Jumpman or Bowser King of the Koopas

the transformations for MR.GnW makes sense to be just flat 2D models instead of a fully 3D character flattened, since it's basically ripping the original graphics form the original game & watch games. what catches my interest is that Oil Panic (the bucket move) doesn't seem to follow the same rule as the rest? What i mean is, the body for the move uses the regular body that GnW has in smash, but the head is replaced for "sprite" of the bucket holder in Oil Panic. I haven't played smash in a long time, but now i wonder if they bothered to make a 2D version of his body for that move, or if it's a weird combination of a 3D body with a 2D head

did anyone else see that at 10:11, G&W has the weapon that he uses in his jab on the floor? Maybe it makes sense bc his taunt and the jab have the same particles...

Welcome back PK 😁

[@cyohg2660]

I noticed something funny at 10:31 In French, your selection screen says "Bagarreur Mii", but I was sure that it is called "Boxeur Mii" in France. And in fact, this is true : the American French version of Smash has a different name for Mii Brawler than the European French version. I guess this is due to the fact that the language is slightly different if you go to Canada. I wonder if there are also differences like this between American version of SSBU and English version.

[@wolfetteplays8894]

Probably is, Nintendo’s UK branch localizes their own games

[@Dan_-]

There are some differences between the American and European English versions, like the Wii Fit Trainers' voices and words being spelled with or without unnecessary u's.

[@katherinepearce7079]

For some reason, I think I'm hearing your voice a little differently. Might be something with the mic, or just the natural progression of speech patterns. I like it, it sounds pretty :)

[@Casual_PKBeats]

Thank you :)

[@Lmb_kun]

When you ko someone in smashville the NPC's in the background gets angry at you

[@groveranimations]

He literally has eyes because you can see from several spirits, maps, or by knowing that from the OG game. Not to mention literally some of his animations HAVE EYES

Roy's sheath is also rotated in a way that has part of the guard clipping into his body. Obviously not a way any real sheath would be worn.

[@abandonedrocketship]

Welcome back!

[@FoldedBionis]

Roy also puts his sword in his scabard in one of his victory animations, I don’t get why there is none in his actual model when there is one in art and other material.

[@endorb]

I do like the model gaps and other small tidbits like that. I do think you should consider giving them their own video or something

[@DragoKirby]

I haven't seen anybody else mention it, so I'm going to. Chrom sharing the name of his neutral special with Roy kind of makes sense if you know a bit of FE lore (and make a bit of a leap in logic). In the series, there's multiple different Fire Emblem's, and in the Archanea, Valentia & Jugdal Timeline, alot of the holy weapons, as well as one of the Fire Emblems, are made by Naga or from a part of Naga. In this case, Chrom's Flare Blade could be more of a reference to the Binding Shield & its relationship with the Falchion, since the Awakening Ceremony can only be completed when the Falchion & the Fire Emblem, with all 5 of its gems, are together and is preformed in the site in which Naga has the most influence at, which brings out the Falchion's true power. When it comes to the Elibe Timeline, the Binding Blade, Roy's Sword, it was originally locked away & could only be drawn by using the Fire Emblem from his world, which was a Seal. So Roy's Flare Blade could also be referring to the relation of the Fire Emblem of his world & the Binding Blade, not just the elements of the attack. Tldr: the name of the attack called Flare Blade could be referring to the relation between the 2 swords and the Fire Emblems.

I doubt it was intentional but for the dark pit world of light idea, my only guess is because Viridi was a spirit, I’m not totally sure how it would work with her existing but I don’t know, so if Viridi was a spirit, she couldn’t give dark pit flight, meaning it would make sense for Palutena to give him flight.

[@connorreed7523]

Never realized that rocks and dirt appear when Chrom slams the ground with his neutral special
