Considering that Ken starts Shippu in the parry stance animation, meaning it transitions flawlessly if you confirm off a parry, I'm going to say that the Evo Moment 37 reference is intentional. Especially since in every other game Shippu appears in it has a distinct starting frame of Ken mid-side kick about to unleash the attack. Only in Smash does he start with the parry stance animation.

[@tacticaljunk1608]

I think Ken was added as an Evo Moment 37 reference and I'm not joking. With Ultimate having more of a fighting game atmosphere than a party game atmosphere, they wanted to add the character that was a part of the most iconic moment of fighting game history.

17:07 Corrin does use Water Magic in some occasions (mainly when hes in his dragon form or for Dragon Fang special skill) due to his dragon kind (Silent Dragon) being able to; but he never used to form a spiral torrent in his game Curiously in like 2018 or so; in Fire Emblem Heroes, Corrin's Child, Kana (who also becomes a Silent Dragon), uses a similar move for her preference weapon while being a dragon. I guess it would be one of those cases where Smash inspired other games

[@AvelineMelena]

Actually for Corrin, he does uses water attacks with his special ability. Which is also referenced for his B neutral so it's not very surprising

[@tiedyechamp1913]

Tbf, the dragon form in Fates doesn't have much to do with controlling water beyond Azura helping Corrin. The energy/water blast that Corrin uses does come from their dragon fang animation, but the dragon itself doesn't have much to do with controlling water especially in those types of torrents used in smash. There is like a splash of water when the dragon appears on the field though, so that may have also inspired the torrents.

[@seelcudoom1]

@@tiedyechamp1913 the fact there dragon fang shoots water does imply there a water dragon even if they dont use it in there dragonstone animation, and its confirmed silent dragons, which corrin is, have power over water

[@firewolf950tfwgaming7]

Fire emblem heroes is also kinda explicit in that Corrin can use water as whenever they have a dragon alt, their default attack is very water based. Additionally, because Corrin slams the ground before attacking, it could also be implied that they’re also using a dragon vein in their attack, the ability to change the land passed on through dragon blood.

[@enderael7878]

One thing I want to point out about Corrin's Final Smash is that while it is true how he/she doesn't use water magic while in Dragon form, the Dragon Fang Shot (Neutral Special) does use magic water as in his/her critical hit animation with the skill Dragon Fang activated. Another thing to add to it (While might be considered non-canon) is that Kana (Corrin's child) in Fire Emblem Heroes possesses Water Breath as a weapon which looks similar to how Corrin sprays a torrent of water in his/her Final Smash.

[@infernousgaming1393]

I know it has been over a year, but I just felt like mentioning that Fire Emblem Heroes is canon. Intelligent Systems even considers it as the 16th mainline Fire Emblem game (aka FE16), which is why Sakurai held up a 17 to represent Fire Emblem Three Houses in Byleth's presentation.

[@LucasDeroy]

At 16:52, the "someone" who died is Corrin's biological mother, who got kill because of Corrin, and of course, he wasn't aware, this is why he was so pissed off that he decided to transform into a dragon and destroy everything that his mother tried to maintain (she was a queen, it's complicated) because his was sad and angry that his mother died, you know, classic teenage crisis

[@rockypockypuff]

Hey, be nice to Corrin! They actually use water attacks in their game, it's not only from Azura. Both Azura and Corrin have Slent Dragon blood in them (they're cousins), which gives them their water abilities. Even before you see Corrn fully transform into a dragon from grief (since their mom just died in front of them, and a lot of people where hurt due to a sword Corrin was carrying), they use Dragon Claw with it's water effects in a scripted battle against another character. Corrin's water powers makes total sense, their dragon transformation makes sense. Fates's writing might be shit, but I'm tired of people shitting on the game and gloss over the actual info you get in the game lmao

[@Taktaagic]

The joke is old now. It’s been 7 years and the joke of “haha, Corrin and Fates are bad” got stale years ago. Like you said, I get why people dislike them, but if all everyone does when ANYTHING related to Corrin is brought up is just aimless and endless bashing on them, then it’s just really stupid. It’s been 7 years, people need to grow up and learn that the character is actually really cool

[@rockypockypuff]

@@Taktaagic I totally get why people hate on them (and Fates), especially if they've only played Fates, but I think that the hate should have died out by now. As you said, it have been a joke for 7 years, that's almost a decade, and Corrin have gotten their character written out so much in side games like Heroes and Warriors. Fates as a game and Corrin as a character aren't that bad in gameplay, it's just the writing and butcheed English translation that's bad.

[@Glory2Snowstar]

Yo, can we give props to Pinky Bowtie for the sick thumbnail art, and all the art in general? Always great stuff!

[@tomasserra5690]

To let you know in Fire emblem Fates the first time Corrin transforms in a dragon is because his/her mother died, after that he is able to transform at will and when he/she uses the “dragon claw” ability (i think that was the name) we see him/her using the neutral b which has water properties, also in Fire emblem Heroes we can see the legendary version of Corrin using the final smash, the only problem is that legendary Corrin arrived in June of 2019 to fire emblem Heroes , so it means that Corrin’s final smash is mostly smash original

[@Taktaagic]

I'm thankful to see someone who knows stuff about Corrin. I feel like I'm the only one lol But yeah, Dragon Fang is sometimes associated with water and stuff, so I agree with you with the Final Smash being a Smash original, but just showing it off in a grander fashion.

14:57 I have to say, that its not his mind. During the plot of ff7, you discover that sephiroth was always in the northern cave, because when he was defeated in the mako reactor of nibelheim, he fell into the lifestream. So, Cloud is actually going through the lifestream, where Sephiroth actually is. He fights here, and finds him by their telepathic conection (That conection shown through the entire game every time Sephiroth controls cloud)

[@TheGamersState]

Wait, it's not his mind? If it's not his mind then why do we see him leave his body when he's with Tifa at the end of the game?

[@darshio8307]

@@TheGamersState Mhh, I think thats an scene that shows contrast. I mean, its pretty obvious that is the lifestream, because in the sequence when Cloud is traveling through a tunnel, we can clearly see those green effects that represents the flow of the Lifestream (also seen when the meteor is stopped after holy failed). So when cloud sees a hand after defeating Sephiroth with omnislash, he is surrounded by the lifestream again and Aerith's melody sounds, so it means that is actually Aerith's hand helping him to get out, which contrast later as I said with Tifa's hand. Is also revealed in a novel that Aerith also helped Tifa to find Cloud's mind when they fell in the lifestream, and is because of that that she was able to help cloud to recover his mind. If you ask me, it might not be that obvious that is the lifestream at all, but many details clearly indicate it actually is, beeing the most vital Aerith's presence, and the meaning of her death.

Spoiler reasons aside, one of the reasons why Im also not particularly in favor of Shulk's Final Smash is that it comes off rather unfaithful. While I do understand that its done to save time, having all characters attack at the same time in a blank background makes everything fall into a blur. If they wanted to make it more accurate they could have made it so that they take turns consecutively as it is in the game. So in the end as it is now, while it is supposed to be a Chain Attack, it doesnt really ressemble one at all.

Interesting note about the Grand Cross, in Harmony of Despair (a "clipshow" style game featuring various stages and bosses their themed around and various player characters from across the Castlevania series) it appears as a type of move called a "dual crush", which is a special move that can only be performed in multiplayer while two players are standing near eachother playing as two of a certain set of characters. For the Grand Cross, that set of characters is Jonathon Morris, Julius Belmont, and Richter Belmont, who are all the wielders of the Vampire Killer in the game... except for Simon, who is in the game in his 8-bit form. Notably, however, he cannot perform _any_ dual crush, which is also true for another 8-bit character, Getsu Fuma from the Getsu Fuma Den games, likely because of animation issues. So it's possible that, if he were given a 32-bit sprite like the rest of the cast, he might have been able to use it in that game. That said, while looking all this up to confirm my memory I found a gif of Simon using it in Judgement located on the castlevania wiki, in the animation gallery on the page for Grand Cross.

I was playing SSBU while watching this video, and as soon as he started talking about Ridley's final smash, the Ridley that I was fighting used his final smash. h o w

[@cooki1875]

20:33 there's actually a pretty good explanation for this, but since it's a big spoiler Imma just give a warning for those who haven't played the metroid series enough you ok with spoilers? ight. so, in super metroid(snes, duh) throughout the game, you'll encounter some little aliens, that different from everything else in the game, actually help you learn new abilities you collect, as a type of tutorial; a really cool dynamic tutorial. so, at the end of the game, when you're escaping the planet before it blows up in typical metroid fashion, you can actually choose to save the little animals trapped in a hidden room, if you have enough time, and that actually matters *a lot* , because in the next game, metroid fusion(gba), you also have to escape the planet(?) before it explodes, but you're stopped before arriving at your ship by an omega metroid; and after killing it with the help of the sa-x, your ship comes out of nowhere and rescues you right before everything explodes, with the aliens you rescued before, piloting the ship(don't ask how tho). so, the ship in ridley's final smash was probably being piloted by the aliens; before they all died of course, cuz they're definitely dead after that big laser

[@Hyperneosonic97]

There is actually something you missed regarding Shinku Hadoken. In Smash, it has a vacuum effect, sucking in enemies that get too close to the fireball, which it distinctly lacks in Street Fighter. This is actually based on the move's name, where one of the ways that 'Shinku' can be read is 'Vacuum'.

[@liamsgreatbitgaming]

Ah, Chain Attack. When Sakurai changed a final smash from the source material just so he could spoil it better.

thank you for obligatory evo moment mention pjiggles

[@7of475]

Spoilers for Fates, but... Not only are Corrin and Azura actually cousins, but in Corrin's dragon form, he's shown with water effects around him all the time as part of his animations. Dragonfang, a skill he can get at a certain level, is where many of Corrin's non-final Smash abilities come from, during which, he partially becomes that dragon form. When he uses this skill during a ranged attack, he does fire that water ball thing he uses in his Neutral Special, so there is examples of him using "water magic" type stuff. Not on the scale of his final smash and not while fully in his dragon form (except for in an unused ranged animation for that form), but there is still some precedent for this.

[@sayzar9474]

I feel like if they wanted to include Fiora (which was dumb because did the spoiler and should’ve been regular Fiora) they could just make it so the two characters that appear in the Chain Attack change. And then make it so Fiora ONLY appears with Reyn. Or possibly even Dunban too to make it less suspicious and since Dunban and Fiora or siblings it wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility that they would fight together. Other wise the character can be any of the party members EXCEPT mecha Fiora and ONLY 3 in total including Shulk.

[@UrMom-qu9uc]

I’m pretty sure Kens up close final smash is inspired my Moment 37 because when he activates it he does the pose he does a parry pose.

[@Rad-Dude63andathird]

The Mecha Fiora complaint is interesting to me because the Gray Fox spirit/trophy spoils a very similar reveal in MGS1, albeit it matters more to the very miniscule audience that played the MSX Metal Gears first.

[@siriuslywastaken]

a note on corrin's final smash, and how you said they don't use any water based magic in their own game while true, corrin's dragon form has animated water around it when it moves in battle, as well as anything directly related to the origin of corrin's dragon form (azura's magic singing shit, and anankos) also having water visuals

[@-AirKat-]

The drones in Mii Gunner’s final smash are from the Street Plaza game Street Force

[@SantinoAintHere]

Simon should had stopped time with the Stopwatch, trhow holy water at the enemy three times (you can use subweapons three times maximum if you get a certain item in classicvania style Castlevania games) throw three crosses and then finnish the enemy off by using the fire whip on the enemy (in the infamous Simon's Quest you can upgrade your whip to the last level wich is a fire whip, and Simon is the first Belmont to use a fire whip, Cristopher Belmont used a whip that made a fire ball, not a fire whip) all in a really cool cinematic final smash.

[@anacobra558]

fun fact ken's close up final smash animation actually starts with a parry animation proving that it's a reference to evo moment 37

[@YumeBoi]

Really liked you mentioning evo moment, fun fact about it: that match wasn't even important, it was loser bracket or something but it was way more hype than the actual finals Also correct me if I am wrong, doesn't bayo super smash also devour the opponent if they get to ko range? Like instead of launching them they just go puff

I'm surprised he didn't mention that since it's a pretty huge deal if you land it

Pair Up actually didn't need to change to have a new character! In Fire Emblem Awakening, you could battle ten-character teams from other players through the Outrealms, which are hinted to be alternate dimensions/timelines! In that, Chrom and Robin can, in fact, fight themselves!

[@HyperGlaceon]

It’s kinda funny that all the characters that have two final smashes are all next to each other on the character select screen

[@codytoeung5089]

I like that Chrom is using a literal log in the Awakening example of pair up. Also I presume the Chrom addition as a fighter was last minute, hence probably why Robin’s final smash isn’t changed at all
