In some cases, the attack appeared first in Smash, then in a game of the original series.

[@NetBattler]

Real

[@koffinglolface1000]

like mario forward smash

[@gio_setsuna]

Kirby is definitely included in that I believe

[@manupm9161]

​@@gio_setsuna No, kirby superstar was released before super smash bros

[@solinkdc2645]

That's why it's written "AND COMPARISON"

[@TheNorfAndOnly]

Something funny about Charizard’s Forward Smash is that it’s officially known as Headlong Rush, which Pokémon fans would know is actually a new move that was added in Legends: Arceus, meaning that Charizard was using Headlong Rush in Smash before any Pokémon in the main series. However, Charizard can’t even learn Headlong Rush in the official games, despite him being able to learn moves like Bulldoze and Earthquake, which are also Ground-Type moves.

[@aquabat7777]

Give it time. Charizard is not in Legends Arceus and not natively available in Scarlet and Violet. Only two Pokémon were given the move in LA and two others in SV. It could easily become a tutor move in the Scarlet and Violet DLC that Charizard can learn.

[@bakedbeans999]

insane

[@AZV0108]

​@@aquabat7777 Even funnier, Charizard doesn't even learn Headlong Rush

[@Lexicon865]

Why was Kazuya's skipped out? All his moves in Smash outside of his pummel and his Up B have definitive origins. For his case, Glorious Demon God Fist originated from Tekken Tag Tournament, specifically

[@Dopamine-ms3md]

Cuz he not funny

[@lordkaijux5262]

-Not a good answer.-

[@unko4468]

I think kazuya smash attack reference kill heihachi from Tekken 7

[@Lexicon865]

@@unko4468 It's the same move, but Kazuya's Smash attack is part of his actual Tekken moveset since Tag 1

[@SUNNYDINTHEREAL]

Because kazuya players don’t deserve rights

[@username64397]

This must of taken such a long time and so much hard work to make, its very informative! Thank you for making this! My favorite forward smash is Robin's!

[@Decidukip]

Must have*

[@Mordecai02]

Link's Sword Beam first manifested as a spinning wave of energy in A Link to the Past. Before that, they either looked like the sword it's fired from or took a slender beam-like shape. Also, are you sure Pikachu/Pichu's fsmash aren't more closely related to Spark rather than Thunder Shock? Spark is a more direct attack and is much stronger... plus, the fsmash looks like a large spark.

[@David2073]

The first thing is because of the evolution of the Master Sword: It used to launch waves of energy as Beams, but then it changed to be copies of the sword, multiplied by the strength of the bearer. That evolution only happens in one timeline, so it's not canon at all, but anyways

[@Superemie401]

All the characters who aren’t in this video don’t have a forward Smash with an original. It’s notably the case of Fox, which we (almost) never seen outside of a vehicle in his home series.

[@Gogisdagog]

What about greninja they could have shown a clip from pokemon xyz him using cut right?

[@Lexicon865]

Kazuya wasn't in the video despite having one though, which is odd

[@Raedein]

Thank you for mentioning something most people would never figure out (probably) Captain Obvious... Is that NOTABLY the case with Falcon too???

[@derrickdavis3888]

Even Luigi doesn’t have one also!

[@littleawesomeapple]

@@RaedeinHey, I didn't know that

[@chaos691]

Byleth's f-smash, specifically, is almost a direct copy of Dimitri's close-range counterattack crit animation when in any class *other than* Great Lord or High Lord

[@MCDexpo]

Should have called this Smash Attacks Origin/Comparison to make it more obvious that not all of them originally came from the characters source game

[@luigivoncheeseburgerjenkinsiv]

What an oddly specific yet infotmative video

[@coreysanimations7752]

These videos are the best

[@Vekao]

In the first Fire Emblem Marth has literally his forward smash when he attacks. He walks into the enemy and does the move when does critical

[@Sjono]

Cloud’s forward smash resembles the depiction of Cross Slash in the Kingdom Hearts series, but I guess Ehrgeiz works too

[@resurrekt7114]

Bro you forgot Incineroar Other than that the video is awesome Edit: you also forgot Pyra and Mythra (thx Fire Embliam)

[@fireembliam9090]

He forgot the ones that are not in there like Pyra and Mythra.

[@ziggysimpsonofficial]

And we all know that in Smash, King K. Rool doesn’t wear shoes. Only during the boss fight with him so Tiny Kong could pull off an attack that shall not be named.

[@jrmgamer5685]

Charizards headbutt looks kinda like dragon claw in SBU

[@TheElementsAreWithMe]

I see that forward slash was one of Sora's abilities. What was that one called again?

[@--Isaiah--]

Slapshot. It's actually his side tilt and his basic finisher in Kingdom Hearts 1 more closely resembles his F smash, even though it's already in his jab string

[@TheElementsAreWithMe]

@@--Isaiah-- thanks for the reminder

[@Sjono]

The forward smashes for Mario, Donkey Kong, Pit, & Dark Pit appeared in SSBM & SSBB before appearing in any of their own games

[@killianlemellot424]

Hey but Mario obtained IS forward Smash in melee release in 2002 but Mario and Luigi superstar saga was release in 2003 so there IS a problème

[@Eerosami1234]

First btw I like your videos

[@Tenebrizze]

[@ken-kenperez1465]

Maybe you can update your super smash bros ultimate all characters final smash origins to add the dlc characters in their next time.

[@pasqualembisceglia1989]

1:48 1:56 Peach from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (1996) uses her frying pan as a weapon like Paula Jones from Earthbound (1995), Conker the Squirrel from Conker's Bad Fur Day (2001), Rapunzel from Tangled (2010) and Toad from The Super Mario Bros Movie (2023).

[@vossboss220]

Ivysaur forward smash is a direct reference to the anime ashs bulbasaur uses its vines in a similar way

[@Willchannel90]

Imagine updates it may features all references.

[@gerardoramirezcazares1009]

It's hard to decide on one

[@maneruloquendero]

Since Ivysaur and Charizard can only learn Headbutt since gen 2, wouldn't it be more appropriate to show footage from a gen 2 game? Yes, you can transfer them back to gen 1 with the move learned, but until gen 2, that move was unavilable for them
