One thing I had started doing for every new character since Banjo was go into training mode and turning on the slowest speed just to go through as many of their animations as possible before even trying to land any hits with their moves. There's just so many animation details that go unloved and unnoticed that elevate everyone's personalities and styles, and it feels cool to find things you'd never see during regular game play.

[@geminiman5580]

Another interesting thing about Samus' back boosters is that it makes her final Smash different than Dark Samus'. The boosters activate as you described, and they have a hitbox, since Dark Samus doesn't have boosters, Dark Samus doesn't have the hitboxes in their Final Smash

Everything is the same EXCEPT for that little hitbox being present in Samus, right?

[@Pirikala_]

In sm4sh, when a character takes a mushroom, they'll play an animation which interupt any attacks they might be doing while grabbing the mushroom. There is a different animation for the poison mushroom too. In ultimate, it now just makes the character bigger and doesn't interupt any attack. I prefered the extra animations tbh.

They had those animations in Brawl too... I always remembered they existed in that game cause they showed Mario's growing animation in the intro

Without the animation leads to more fun, when a mushroom touches a character during a move and the move becomes huge

[@Slimeade]

Oh there's a bunch of funny little animations many people tend to miss, here's just a few: - Ivysaur, when using the Dragoon, sits rather than stands. It's notable as the sitting position is almost identical to one of the Gen I sprites - A very specific one, but when Peach uses a battering item, she spins it after swinging - Sometimes, when Mega Man takes damage, his eyes become fuzzy and static-y - R.O.B has eyelids, and will actually frown with them in certain attacks, like his throws - Incineroar has retractable claws that can be seen in it's FSmash - A few characters, like Piranha Plant and Steve?/Alex/Zombie/Enderman will point forwards after using an assist trophy - Wario's got a few. With his Nair, Bair and Uair, he has a shocked look upon hitting the ground, but if you use his Dair, he gets briefly stuck in the ground and wiggles a little. Wario also looks shocked when using his DSmash - Bowser does some kind of weird 'block' motion when doing a dash attack with a battering item - On the subject of Bowser, his horns briefly enlarge, explaining what the first hitbox of the move is on his horns - When using either his Hellsweep (Shoryuken input+B) or his Triple Spin Kicks, Kazuya's torso twists in an unnatural way. While this might just seem like a weird oversight to many, it's actually been a thing in Tekken since the beginning - Not sure how overlooked this one is, but Palutena's landing animation from a full hop has her do a twirl - For some reason, Daisy smiles while trapped in a Minecart

[@Some_Electric_Boi]

Being trapped in a minecart and Daisy's just like: _This is fine_

[@Winasaurus]

The minecart gives Daisy thoughts of the only franchise she is consistently cared about in, Mario Kart, so she smiles. Just waiting for a "Please don't break the minecart. The A/C is on, she has water, and is listening to C418" meme with daisy in a minecart instead of a dog in a car

[@angeldude101]

Not just final smash for Pyra and Mythra. Their ether lines also show up during Mythra's neutral-special and Pyra's side-special since those are the one that correspond to their level 3s. Something specific to Smash is that their ether lines actually change color to match their costume, turning red with their P5 alt, and Pyra's turning blue (but not Mythra's) with their P7 alt. (Fun fact: if you use these in Xenoblade 2 while they have their swimsuits equipped, you can actually see large spots light up on the backs of their hands where they'd normally be covered by their gauntlets. Not a Smash animation, but a cool Easter egg none the less. A complete map of their ether lines and spots, along with those for a few other Blades, can be found in concept artwork for the game.)

When he holds the fighter over his head, he's grabbing the fighter with the arm that's behind him. However, when DK turns around, he actually quickly switches arms. The animation is also similar to how he holds barrels in Donkey Kong Country Returns, and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. He'll switch which hand is holding the barrel when he turns around.

Sonic had a different animation when using spindash against a wall in Brawl and 4 but not in Ultimate because he just bounce against it. It is a reference to the classic games when he runs against a wall.

Some animations do some interesting things when slowed down. For example, during the startup of MK's forward air, in 1/4 he very quickly twirls his sword around. This can be seen more clearly if you combine 1/4 speed with Timer. This doesn't appear to be intentional, though.

[@dizzypro4974]

I think pokemon _is_ a good example of the fact that making so many animations isn't possible with a low amount of development time, the low effort looking animations are because of the fact that they've had to animate over 900 3d models with walking, special attacks, physical attacks, getting hit, etc.

After jumping from ledge and landing on the ground, Palutana will do a spin animation.

5:00 GO-GO-CORRIN EXTENDO-TOES

[@erikhepp4144]

The pits will separate and reattach their blades depending on which attack you just used (one double sided bow/blade or two blades, one in each hand) and it will remain that way for all animations until you use a move that changes it.

i noticed that sephiroth switches to his right hand during that big swing at the beginning of his final smash. this isn't the first time sephiroth has officially used his right hand. it's been shown in the original game, movie, concept art, and even the remake. i love this little detail because it references something that many fans of final fantasy 7 missed.

[@mezzovii]

oh and here's something else about sephiroth that's a bit more known, but also easy to miss. sephiroth snaps his fingers when doing his neutral air attack

[@JamesDarcon2007]

Jeez.. PJiggles, the "dreadlocks" on Lucario rising are just a reference to Shounen anime when a character "powers up", their hair tends to rise, as if the power is so great that's like air pushing off of them causing hair and clothing to rise and sort of flail around, especially if its like DBZ/S style...

[@EtheRenard]

When Link does his taunts when putting his sword back in his sheath, he pulls it down, because the original animation is theoretically impossible (you can't put a long sword on your back by letting it slide vertically, you'll have to have very long arms), so that animation made that possible

[@transcendicalamity2543]

Real great video! I didn’t know half of these animations existed. One I’m surprised wasn’t mentioned was mega Man. If you input very slightly to initiate a walk, mega man will shuffle his front foot out forward before running with the other foot. You can do this exact same shimmy of the front foot forward in the classic mega man games.

R.O.B. has a lot of cool animations. 1. His standing and crouched idles reference the idea that he's an aging robot. When standing, he keeps dozing off, and when crouching, he occasionally re-adjusts his head. 2. The original R.O.B. had 5 accessory slots, and all of them are used in Smash. Obviously, one of them is used for his gyro spinner (which, if you slow down the animation, it turns out that he stores in a flattened state under his base), but the others contain these "flight fins" which R.O.B. deploys every time he uses his Up Special until he lands on solid ground. These flight fins will remained deployed even if he's grabbing onto the ledge after using Up Special. 3. After he gets knocked to the ground, his get-up animation has him extending his arms over his head and doing a horizontal roll. During this animation, he actually shuts his eyes. I think this was meant to convey that he's not sure this horizontal roll will really work or something? It's a fun detail, though, and you can't really see it without using a frame-by-frame.

[@perriwinkleiii5361]

I enjoy the landing up air animations for characters who flip upside down. Kirby is the one I always noticed, because he's very bouncy when returning to an upright position

[@ClockWorksb]

13:19 I never even noticed that the RareWare symbol is on the backpack holy hell

[@JetSetDman]

Not really a “secret” animation but judging by the shocked expression and frantic movement combined with erratic gunfire, I like to imagine duck hunt’s forward smash is the dog dodging in a panic as the player does what we’ve all tried to do and shoots at him

[@rapidtomato3955]

Ness also has a cool secret animation when you lose against him online The animation of you slamming your switch to the floor.

[@Its_bloon.yt2011]

Haha C o m e d y

[@SenorKirb]

these tiny animations make me smile, the small attention to detail really shoes how much love the folks at Sora put into the game

[@legendarysafgames836]

6:30 T'wasn't awkward until you made it awkward, pal. ;)

[@somedegenerate6622]

The way Luigi spins during a misfire vs not spinning normally kinda reminds me of how bullets used to work in guns. In the early days of firearms, rifle barrels were often smooth on the inside and out. It's part of what made muskets rather difficult to use in comparison to more modern rifles. Later (and still to this day) most guns were made with barrels that had spiraled grooves on the inside, which caused bullets to spin as they were fired. The spinning made the bullets fly straighter.

[@MarioGlitchy9]

There’s an animation error with Dedede where if you up tilt and move forward after, the hammer will spin around

[@mrgreenboy644]

If it makes you feel any better, Lucario's... we'll call them dreadlocks -- floating upwards may be intended to be similar to an anime character's hair going crazy when they power up. Especially with the size of the Aura around his hands growing -- they may be pushing the dreadlocks upwards

[@darkraven5626]

12:46 I would like to take the time to mention that this man just ran full force out of the screen with Kazooie...that is all...lol

[@adrian_hook]

[7:25] I don’t think Pikachu’s cheeks glow when using more physical attacks since he has the ability static which means anything that comes in contact with him gets electrocuted. He only needs to use his cheek reserves when shooting out electricity.

[@batlrar]

4:28 I would have loved it if you had sneaked a Sonic in there!

[@ZE.brigitte]

A little detail I love The back air animation of Fox usually show him do a kick, then he hit the ground However, due to the fact he have the strongest gravity, if you the back air close to the ground he will tumble pretty hard

[@derpybreads2212]

4:00 I actually did know this, I noticed it in one of the trailers for the game before it came out

[@pyromaniac000000]

16:41 incineroar doing poses while sora gets sent to the underworld is a hilarious image.

[@MrGameguyC]

11:56 That also applies to Kirby's copied version of Villager & Isabelle's Pocket animations.

[@BazTheDryBonesFan]

A couple more fun animations I noticed: -When Dark Samus turns around from a dash but doesn’t resume dashing, she does a weird neck-shoulder-twisty-thing that I unfortunately don’t know how to describe. -When Bowser Jr. throws an item while dashing, he does a little spin. -When Banjo swings a Home-Run Bat, Kazooie briefly pops out during the swing to see how far the opponent flies. -When Banjo & Kazooie attack with the Dragoon, Kazooie is waving back to the camera.

[@okolcmolk6164]

the thing with terry at 3:17, he flips it becuse the wind from going down so fast would throw down his cap

[@TaleOfTheToaster]

THE SNAKE ONE??? My mind is blown… or at least, I’m within close proximity of my mind exploding, mildly frightening me

[@oofiooof]

13:43 he look at you

[@Chugga1Fan]

Similar to Lucario's appendages slowly rising to indicate its aura level, Wario's belly will expand as he charges waft. In his biker outfit, you can even see his belly start to peek out.

[@Liggliluff]

(5:20) The thumb, and also because it's black. The fingers have gloves, but the toes does not.

[@MaxWelton]

“But one thing you shouldn’t miss is me talking about today’s spon-” *skips ad break*

[@LordTRex]

5:37 This is my best part of the whole video.. anyways happy switch 5th years anniversary

[@TheSmart-CasualGamer]

Considering the game absolutely bombards you with particle effects, and is so ludicrously fast, I'm amazed they do all of this. I love tiny details and there's so many, it feels like people find new ones all the time!

[@MG64OdysseyProductions]

0:47 was that even a thing in the previous smash games? Edit: i checked brawl and yes Luigi did have that in brawl Snake also did the thing with his grenade in brawl as well

[@red_infinitystone]

3:30 I am pretty sure its because his hat would fly away with the brim in the front, since he is dropping really quick. Turning it around negates the air resistance i think.

[@Sketch-Mess]

i know its a sponsor but I laughed too hard at this 2:10

[@c0nfvs3d]

The code “PJIGGLES” is too funny

[@leiadog11]

Can't believe you passed up the Duck in Duck Hunt Duo just floating around the Dog during some of Duck Hunt's aerials.

[@dimitrimoisiades7292]

6:45 those things are what he uses to detect aura lmfao

[@thonking7193]

i think my favorite funny lil animations are k rool and piranha plant's down airs, because they do a lighting fast frontflip before they extend their legs (and pot i guess) downwards you have to go frame by frame on both of their animations because they're genuinely like 4-6 frames long
