"Makes a Dark Souls joke in the teaser" "Then makes a Dark Souls joke in Sora's trailer" Way to pay homage to your first reaction, dude!

[@sibsart2039]

Doubt it was intensional.

[@MurderofBirdsImpact]

@@sibsart2039 No, it was intentional, lol. The last trailer for Sora took place in the same location as the reveal trailer for the game all those years ago, with Inkling Girl looking at the flaming Smash logo. My quote of "Welcome to Dark Souls, bitch" had become a meme back then, so I figured I'd bring it back for old times sake. Add in the fact that the single flame aesthetic was giving me HUGE Dark Souls vibes before it turned out to be Sora, and that's a recipe for nostalgia.

[@invaderperidot]

@@anthonybarajas3362 And yet everyone said the same thing about Sora, and his ties to Disney. I still hold out hope for Crash.

[@anthonybarajas3362]

@@invaderperidot the funny thing is that Disney has had ties to Nintendo since 1959 where they made a deal for Nintendo to distribute Disney merchandise in Japan that included cards that sold very well. This was during the era when Nintendo hadn’t find itself yet and was a card company among other things. Nintendo owes it’s success to Disney for helping them climb to the top, as it allowed them to be publicly listed as an official company. What’s funny is that Nintendo is actually *OLDER* then Disney believe it or not. The only difference is that Disney always stuck to their way of making entertainment, Nintendo shifted their organization up a bit till they became a video game developer, publisher, and console manufacturer. Activision on the other hand, isn’t a very loyal company anymore. They used to be a very small video game developer that worked on games for Atari and then they transitioned into a giant publisher conglomerate that buys out a bunch of other independent studios, harasses their employees, or either shutdown the studios if they aren’t making enough good content or just merge them into a better division just so they can assist their game development on titles such as call of duty which are practically the same game every year. They aren’t a worthy company anymore, even if they had a historical importance in the games industry and now owns two important gaming icons from the ps era. They may have started the toys to life craze which caused amiibo to be created but if I recall correctly, it seems that nobody from Activision or blizzard has been contacted by Nintendo about anything smash related since their current controversies. I don’t think they are going to try working with them again.

I love coming back to this video of all the combined reactions.

[@jinduicer4722]

I can’t stop watching this video, I don’t know half of these characters but I love your genuine excitement just to play with them, gives me chills/happiness

[@jinduicer4722]

Sephiroph is my favorite because it looks like everyone wanted the Dante guy but they got sephiroph instead but they were more than happy tho

[@Josh_ua]

These trailers are so magical, thank you so much Sakurai.

[@yosukokiragane4586]

watching your reaction on every smash trailers makes me really happy and excited!!!

[@galapagoz1211]

I still get goosebumps when I watch the first announcement when it was shown that all the fighters were brought back. It was so cool how all the fans freaked out.

[@therealdeal3665]

Whenever I need endorphins in my system, I’ll just watch this video haha So much hype. So much love for such an amazing game. What a great tribute to end Smash off with. Thank you for always being so hype. We can always count on you for great reactions! 🙂

[@jordanchicksen]

Watching all of these made me tear up multiple times 🤣. Sakurai and this game are out of this world. I can’t believe that any of this is possible. So much joy has been brought and shared because of it all. Loved your reactions.

[@TheArrowofLight12]

Bro got the best reactions out there. Keep it up!

[@nutt18isback]

Hoo wee I really appreciate this video, really got me tearing up with emotion and going back to the very beginning really just redoubled my respect for the man and the team working under him that brought this game to reality.

[@MurderofBirdsImpact]

That makes me happy to hear. Thank you so much :)

[@johnnyboi290]

Man these reaction were super hyped I'm definitely gonna subscribe

[@Alvindinho]

You definitely had the best reactions out of any other KZbinr/streamer

[@Night_Gaunt]

Gave me so much joy to see your reactions and enthusiasm for these amazing video game characters. What a crazy and wild ride these years for an incredible game! Thank you sakurai 😊

[@MurderofBirdsImpact]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the reactions and nostalgia ride of these characters reveal. I'm gonna miss it so much, too.

[@HalfOtaku]

I swear smash announcement reactions are a whole other kind of content

[@MurderofBirdsImpact]

EXACTLY! I just said this in another comment, but Smash reveals were an event all their own. It's the only game that I know where it seems like the whole world stops what their doing, they watch/react to the trailer, they walk about on social media all day and they everyone watches reactions on KZbin. I'm SO gonna miss doing these.

[@franck4727]

@@MurderofBirdsImpact Your reactions to the reveal trailers beginning to end was awsome, one of the best on youtube, a lot of positivity and hype. Thanks

[@KingGameZ43]

Dude Smash Ultimate was insane. It was cool to play against everyone that i followed during it's run. I remember watching you and others when characters got announced. Hell some of you reactors were the ones i fought online in Smash. I can't believe it's been so long.

[@robertfalk3767]

It does my heart good to see someone this genuinely happy about something. Just really warms me

[@ThatKaitoDan]

Geez, it's been such a long wild ride and these reactions remain some of the most fun from you.

[@EskChan19]

Man this game, dude. Most companies do quantity over quality these days. A few companies still do quality over quantity. But daddy Sakurai here is doing quantity AND quality. It will be a long time until a game is going to do this again. #ThankYouSakurai

[@moldyyyy]

watching your reactions makes me feel so happy i love it

[@PomadaGaming]

Hoo. Oh man the hype compilation sounds amazing from start to end of smash haha. WOOO!!

[@Vickivoid]

Your joy is infectious and reactions made me smile. Really makes you appreciate how much work was put into Smash Ultimate. Thank you Sakurai!

[@Tam_Miri]

I am so happy you posted this! I actually saw one by RogersBase and thought to myself I really want to see Murder's compilation! I ended up binging some of your reveal videos afterward. Thank you for the honest and open reactions, I appreciate the excitement and hype you always bring to every video you create! Here's to the future and I can't wait to see what's next in gaming! Smash'ing that subscribe button right....... now!

[@MurderofBirdsImpact]

Thank you so much for the heartfelt comment, and I'm honored to know you enjoyed they hype and excitement along with everyone else. RogersBase's reaction compilation is actually what inspired me to make this video as my first upload to the gaming channel. I was in Canada at the time, but I decided, with the hype of Sora's release and it being the final character reveal, that it would undoubtedly do well for people looking to give one last hoo-rah to the journey and excitement toward these reveal events that've been happens for the last few years now. Thank you once again for subscribing and I hope you look forward to the future gaming content as well. :)

[@StreetFighterFan777]

If these reactions are indicative of his general disposition, MurderOfBirds is one of the most positive, delightful, and entertaining people on this site. Thank god for him.
