Nairo & Gunblade react to Cloud Strife in Smash Bros

[@Fatal25k]

As someone said earlier, this is why it's better not to leak the characters before they are announced. It makes it more hype if nobody knows anything about it.

[@rflowers360]

Exactly

[@Balthazar2242]

+Niitro Nothing gets "leaked" on purpose. That's why it's called a "leak".

[@devin7736]

+Steven Bowser Well the creators accidentally get information leaked but the people who figure this stuff out should SHUT THE FUCK UP because then the release isn't as cool. Like imagine if Ryu wasn't leaked? What would that have felt like getting told by Sakurai that Ryu was in smash? We don't know because some jack ass put leaks out on Twitter

[@Balthazar2242]

+GreenChicken Yup. But if people can then they will, it's just how idiots online work. But Nintendo never wanted to leak anything, leaks are always a mistake.

[@prgreeneyes]

+Steven Bowser Things do get leaked on purpose, people try to find data and steal from Nintendo. The man who leak the entire smash roster was arrested by Nintendo and sent to prison. People go out of their way with time and money because of a few leaks.

[@weerx3610]

Why did I get this in my recommendations 4 years later. Not that I mind

[@SoulStasis]

The Final Destination music still gives goosebumps at the end

[@KikonSketches]

Same

[@Tryhardblackguy]

Cloud has been trending because of the remake

[@sherrdreamz7232]

This was always the most hype announcement because it meant Limits on potential fighters were completely shattered. Lol at getting reccomended this 4 years later tho ^.^

[@uxi3901]

ikr

[@B3AROTAN]

Kudos to whoever knew it was FF7 in the back.

[@capefeather]

+Jeremy Probst (B3AROTAN) Yeah this is the first reaction video I've seen where someone actually recognized the intro, lol. Also I'm not sure whether Gunblade recognized the Sephiroth reference or was just going by the Final Smash aura.

[@B3AROTAN]

You should watch Maximilian's reaction. It's so good I added it to my favorites.

[@B3AROTAN]

+Orastar He's not in the reaction video though, I like seeing people lose it when they know instantly.

[@DirePlot]

+Orastar It was Nairo's brother, Kelvin, AKA Ksizzle.

[@DirePlot]

+Jeremy Probst (B3AROTAN) That was Nairo's brother, Ksizzle.

[@ShallBePurified]

We found Nairo's new waif- I mean main.

+Mash Ketchum Cloud could always wear that dress again XD

[@devin7736]

You mean we found Gunblade's new waif- I mean main lol

[@ShallBePurified]

+Some Guy Imagine that be one of his alternate costumes. But if it was they'd probably show it already.

[@Galactic123]

At 0:06 in this video it said "CLOUD II Headset" as your sponsor. They knew.

[@lcg3092]

+Galactic123 Illuminatti confiermed

[@Smashlander]

They probably saw the chat.

[@cellgoondude]

+Smashlander02 yeah... Before the trailer started

[@fable23]

Gunblade clinging to Nairo like he bout to float away or something. XD

[@ashketchup7354]

I like how your reaction was unadulterated joy, and ZeRo's was more like "Oh that's back air. that's up tilt. that's down smash. Oh he has a projectile! That's cool." Shows interesting personality differences between top smashers.

[@DWZBT]

and etika rips cardboard

[@Edoeren]

+Mash Ketchum Obviously that wasn't ZeRo's first reaction, the title says Analysis.

[@Nain9]

+Char 11 LMAO

[@Djoawd]

+Mash Ketchum Yeah fuck Zero. Nairo is cool

[@Nain9]

Djoaw Oawed Zuck Fero

[@mitchnin10dofan]

You guys were like a couple during this reaction! XD

[@ShallBePurified]

+MitchNin10dofan Nairo X Gunblade too strong. Smash X Final Fantasy ain't got nothing on this.

[@SantiagoTZ]

+MitchNin10dofan I ship them LOL

[@YoumadSuthran]

+SantiagoTZ You mean you AIRSHIP them amirite huehuehue... I'll find my way out now..

[@Djoawd]

+MitchNin10dofan Seems like very close pals

[@MrPopso]

+Madsin Careful out there. The weather man forecasted HIGHWIND.

[@KHPL1998]

damn watching this in 2020 and I almost cried, seeing how genuinely hype/happy nairo and gunblade were just goes to show what games really mean to us, and how special these moments are and can be, I love video games so much

Hi

I STILL get chills to this day, I remember being here for this, so amazing!

Nairo's life bar is at ZeRo right now

[@MrJ3ly]

this comment has the feeling of aging poorly, I just can't pinpoint it exactly

[@alabamii]

🥴

[@krosshair450]

He would’ve lost his shit over Sephiroth tonight too if Zack hadn’t ruined everything for him… Man :( EDIT: Ah, victory

[@lordminsc24]

Somewhere in the distance, I hear a cry of distress. No woman will ever please Nairo quite as much as this moment. Such a great reaction xD

[@Aro8915]

and now......another character for Nairo to be GODLIKE with lol

[@1Ksheffi]

I see a lot of Cloud Mains in the future. Nice move, Nintendo.

[@ShallBePurified]

2:08 That's definitely the Goofy laugh. xD Your reactions were pure, genuine joy.

[@markovic_shebang]

Theeee most wholesome thing I've seen in months. It makes me so happy to see his reaction, it's so joyful. I cannot wait for this court case to be over and see what he might do next. #Naifu

[@goblinjones]

I feel like Gunblade is the real star of the show here, with the context that FF7 is his favorite and first game he ever played. I've never seen him so excited.

[@r9k_YT]

When major events like this happen in the world of gaming, and everyone is overjoyed, it truly shows how united and similar we are even if we all play and come from different franchises.

[@gknighton6040]

Bro, this is hilarious watching this in 2020

[@GuardianAngelEatos]

Nairo, you and Gunblade's expression was priceless! Honestly I flipped out when I saw Final Fantasy, and I can't wait to play Cloud! Maining him for sure!

[@jrdntb]

How crazy is this? Cloud has already been out for over a year, but it feels like he came out yesterday...

[@MrVibe-tx4rn]

5 now…

[@lamb7550]

ngl this vid and "Aerith dive!" were the first things to come to mind after the Sephiroth reveal tonight :(

[@Bradyboy26]

I love this reaction sooooo much

WHAT'S THIS? A VIDEO ON NAIRO'S CHANNEL? WHAAAAAAAAA-?

[@sergeantslowpoke1550]

they're all so happy right now, ignorant of their coming tragedies involving this character

[@chrisofstars]

1:22 That down Smash is killer! I love how it sends them behind, very unlike most down Smash attacks.

[@vmcoelho]

Already have you as a reference to play as ZSS... so happy to read you saying that you'll try out Cloud aswell... cant wait!

[@CaptainFalchion]

I love Nairo and Gunblades reactions. Insane direct

[@Smashcords]

Such overwhelming joy in this reaction. Best I've seen yet.

[@smoothcriminal4421]

I miss this. Actually being surprised and not spoiled by leaks.

[@NVS_Snake]

Simon/Richter, Incineroar, Ken, were leaked in Ultimate. Technically Terry was too. Ryu was leaked for Smash 4. 😟

[@smoothcriminal4421]

deadass. This reaction is too good LOL

The first reaction trailer I've seen where the people actually knew what it was within the first few seconds. True Final Fantasy 7 fans

[@HMStrausser]

Smash Bros is the next world cup. Smash Bros brings gamers together, it's like seeing your nation finally entering the World Cup for the first time in history.

[@zeusp.3081]

The best and most sincere hypu reaction video of Cloud's announcement.

Little did they know after that day DOUBLES NEVER STOULD A CHANCE

I laugh every time I watch Dedede get annihilated by the summon.

[@kyo4973]

the most genuine reactions

Still a legendary reaction in 2024.

[@Sol_Calibre]

I've never seen Nairo this vulnerable :D He was definitely going fanboy just now.

[@riiddisbuk2496]

This first time reveal was w/o a doubt one of my best moments of my life.

[@RaiBread776]

Shoutouts to Gunblade for catching the Sephiroth reference on the Final Smash part (or maybe he just saw the FS aura :/) and whoever knew it was Final Fantasy by the music in the beginning! I recognized the music in the beginning, too XD I'm gonna definitely secondary Cloud. He's a strong contender for Top Tier. He has wonderful range, disjoints, a projectile, combos, and three meteors. THREE METEROS?! That's double the Black Materia! *B-DUM TSS!!!*

[@Mugi3840]

I got this vid recommended 5 years later

Am i the only one who gets the chills every time the "Special broadcast" Message comes up? Like its 2018, ive seen it dozens of times, I know whats coming and still makes my spine shiver/
