No matter how we felt about the characters revealed, we can all agree that these past 3 years have been a magnificent journey that can’t be replicated and frankly can’t be done again. So whether you’re happy, sad, angry, disappointed, or whatever, just remember the journey we all had together, because, again, this is something that can’t be done again. So cherish those memories, and remember it’s just a game, just have fun with it. Thank you Sakurai, thank you, for everything!!

The Smash hype was nothing but a wonderful experience. From the game's lead up to launch, to Joker's reveal, to Sora's reveal. It was a great ride. Nintendo creates this hype for a game that is just a magical experience. We may never get this again, but I'll also never forget this moment

@ThomasFan2021 Sakurai himself explained that in the presentation. Sora was the most requested fighter on the ballot

[@MercuryA2000]

His entire trailer was perfect IMO. Coming full circle was the best place to end it. It was incredibly tense just sitting there searching for even a single scrap of a clue as to who he could possibly be. Every reaction I've seen is practically synced to the frame of realization. The music being calm and triumphant like that was a perfect choice, and to me at least it gave just a touch of melancholy, just enough to drive home that this, this right here, is the last trick up Sakurai's sleeve. The entire thing was just simple and clean.

Yeah, I feel like this was more about just the character itself instead of the trailer. Sephiroths trailer was handled perfectly, there was no hints to who it was until it was revealed (which was a problem many trailers had, like when you saw the jiggy in banjos trailer you knew it was him and just had to wait for unneeded suspense), and the ending scene absolutely kept the hype and was beautiful, not to mention it started just as the music dropped.

Context for the Sora trailer: Originally, Sora was not part of the Fighters Pass 2, it only had 5 fighters, just like the previous one. But then, as luck would have it, Sakurai managed to start negotiations for Sora with a Disney rep that just happened to be at a gaming awards event. So the trailer its basically Smash ending at the point it was planned to end. But then one last spark of fire remains, one that contains the Smash Ballot's winner. So the team sank their hands into the boiling fire that was Sora's legal rights to give us one more reveal, for all times sake.

Personally, my top three for this were: 3. King K Rool - This trailer and Banjo&Kazooie's were handled well, but the original, with the remixed Gangplank Galleon being revealed and the big croc making his return after a decade was massive. Banjo's trailer had similar impact, but the feel of the first topped it in my opinion. 2. Pyra/Mythra - This is 2 because they were my number one hope for Smash AND because the trailer was beautifully done, showing off much of the world of XBC2, and the main cast. It was fun and well made. 1. Joker - Nothing can beat the feeling of sitting in Gamestop that night, waiting for Smash to be released only minutes later, with the Game Awards playing in the background... when suddenly, the screen glitches to red, and the Phantom Thieves logo pops up. The banter between the Phantom Thieves leading to Morgana's best line had me thrilled. And then: "We're not the ones sending the card this time. In fact, we've been invited... Invited to steal the greatest treasure of all!" Then... joker grabs an envelope and turns it to reveal SMASH LOGO! This was HYPE! And it happened AS Smash was releasing to US audiences (since it was already out overseas due to time difference). That memory is just too intense to fade to the background, so Joker's reveal cannot be topped in my mind.

[@D1TB01]

I cannot thank Sakurai enough for the entire Super Smash Bros. Franchise. He has not only made us really excited to play as our favorite video game characters of all time, but he has also made lots of trailers filled with so much hype in them. It’s been an honor for me to know this game’s existence. Oh, and also, thank you for introducing me to Current! I hope to use it once I get older and maybe even introduce it to more people.

Joker's reveal might not be the absolute favorite among most fans, but I love it not just because of the character, but it was one of the only characters to not let the viewer know it was Smash until the reveal. Just having Joker running around in P5s beautiful art aesthetic, the other Phantom Thieves getting ready for another infiltration, only for Joker to flip the envelop to reveal a smash logo. It is simply perfection. No other reveal had that type of ambiguity because the rest were in a direct/smash presentation, meaning that people either knew it was a smash reveal no matter what (Byleth, Min-Min), or somewhat expected it (Isabel, Pyra). Joker on the other hand, was at the Game Awards, where Smash announcements never happened. Ultimate being released _the next day_ was just the cherry on top and why its number 1 for me.

Sephiroth's reveal was an absolute masterpiece. Not only did it have debatingly the greatest buildup to any trailer by having Galeem, the boss of Ultimate that pretty much defeated the entire cast except for Kirby, being killed in _one shot,_ and all of the characters (including us the viewers) gasping, waiting in expectance to see who it was, it gave us zero clue on who it was, until _one wing angel_ starts playing, giving those who knew well enough what that theme is the biggest goosebumps ever. The amount of Advent Children references, callbacks, and straight up frame by frame scenes with that Cloud vs Sephiroth scene (and Italian barbeque) just being perfection.

[@joeyrigney5179]

Ok while I agree with your placement of byleth you can’t just use the “anime sword fighter” argument and then just put SORA as number 3. Side note the whole sword fighter hatred in my opinion is so strange. No other gifting game has fans that complain about stuff like this especially since it’s a video game crossover. Like yes people use swords. That doesn’t define them as characters.

[@obi_ozi]

I agree with you so much that I subbed. The worst part is that none of the people saying these things have probably ever played 3 houses. And on top of the Byleth has a unique move set too, so I don’t know why he’s being lumped together with the “anime sword fighter” group (that imo shouldn’t even exist). If anything, Sora is more of an “anime sword fighter” than byleth, people just like his series more and he’s more famous. That’s all it is. I could make some criticisms on the actual trailer, like since it was in a smash presentation as soon as it showed byleth we already knew who the character was and it was kind of just a meaningless suspense, and the dialogue part is a bit weird to me, but other than that it’s a good trailer. Imo, none of the revels for ultimate were actually bad, and if I was ranking these I would rank from pretty good to amazing, not bad to good. Anyways thanks for listening to me TED talk 😂

@@obi_ozi Speaking as an FE noob who has recently gotten into the series but hasn't played 3 Houses yet: The actual problem with the Byleth trailer is that Byleth comes across as incredibly bland. Just standing there getting talked to by Sothis and then flying away. Like what is actually special or interesting about Byleth that is communicated in this trailer? They play differently from other FE characters? Great, that's the bare minimum. What else? They don't really show what makes Byleth as a character interesting, so it just reinforces the idea that FE characters are boring with barely any personality.

Perhaps the greatest moment of 2020 for me was seeing my two favourite games of all time, Smash Ultimate and Minecraft crossover. I'm so thankful for Sakurai and his team's endless hard work to make us Minecraft fans so happy, there's so much love and attention to detail poured into the DLC.

[@TheSuperSmashBros01]

Kazuya is actually interesting in the context of Tekken.He’s one of the biggest faces of that series and what makes him stand out and memorable is his morality alignment. Most fighting game protagonists like Ryu, Terry and Liu Kang are usually the heroes. Kazuya Mishima on the other hand is the opposite of that. Instead of fighting to take the final boss down, Kazuya’s reason for doing this is revenge against his father Heihachi. Why? Because not only did he kill Kazuya’s mother, who just so happened to come a demonic bloodline but when Kazuya was eight years old he tossed his son off a cliff and has sworn revenge in a never ending cycle of vengeance and hate. And after discovering his grown up son, Jin he not only tries to kill him but even tried to take his demonic power for himself. Because turns out Kazuya’s mother, Kasumi Haschijō comes from a bloodline called the Devil Gene it’s actually a genetic disorder that’s been passed down through several generations which explains why Kazuya has these abilities. And when he met a nature protector name Jun Kazama they met and ended up having a baby named Jin she taught him everything she knew about Kazama Style Karate and told him if anything were to happen to her he should seek out his grandfather Heihachi. He’s super rich with a multibillion conglomerate, his own army, weaponry and, just for kicks a Martial Arts tournament, the same one that Kazuya found out about. Anyway Heihachi trained Jin under the Martial Art Mishima Style Karate. He then went to search for a monster named Ogre, who supposedly burned his home down and Jun disappearing. Jin defeats Ogre but is then double crossed by Heihachi after he discovered he has the Devil Gene as he shoots a gun at him in the chest but is completely fine. So yeah Tekken has quite the crazy world, and these three have been not only the faces and driving force of Tekken’s story but Heihachi, Jin and Kazuya became some of the most well known fighting game characters. And all of this is why Kazuya is so interesting and a memorable character

The sans reveal still gives me chills!

[@MarioFRC32]

I remember when Steve was revealed, literally broke Twitter for hours

[@cloudshmof9563]

Dynamite? DYNAMITE! DYNAMITE!!!!!!! Its called tnt

[@philatio1744]

The Banjo reveal was such a love letter to Rareware.

[@brianpguil]

personally even though I love smash ultimate, I want it to be the last game in the series because it feels like a fantastic finale to the series, especially with Sora's reveal

[@El_Relic]

Lets get Bandy to 1 MILLION SUBS!!!!!

[@El_Relic]

Been watching since 200k - glad you’ve gotten so big :D

[@mingjiechen62]

And now he's in 1.23Million Subs!!!!!

[@MDE128]

I hope they don’t cut characters in the next game. The next Super Smash Bros. game should come out in 2028, should have all characters, Waluigi, a new Subspace Emissary, and Smash Run.

[@forhisneutralspecialhewiel2295]

What if the next subspace has Waluigi as the villain and he controls an army of Mii fighters as revenge for not being in Smash

[@dustinmartin6524]

Next smashgame will be an Ultimate port, after that I have no clue

[@chrom9332]

My main characters are at the bottom of the list. I was hyped up for them to get into smash but I respect your opinion

[@smashlegend25]

Okay, I’ll Give You Chrom And Byleth, But Pyra/Mythra Should Be In The Top 15.

[@jigglypuff452]

[@philatio1744]

I loved the fact that, in the Persona 5 reveal, the Phantom Thieves are introduced by hacking the Game Awards.

[@j.j.1968]

Now that smash ultimate is done, are you going to rank all of the final smashes again?

[@jeremiahroberts6023]

Great video bro 😎

[@Zoroark_Master]

Seeing 3 of these rankings not putting Pyra&mythra to high but still being very positive about it makes me more disappointed in introspektive take on it (no hate on anyone though)

[@slobertooth1358]

I'm out of the loop what was his take ?

[@Zoroark_Master]

@@slobertooth1358 Pyra&mythra trailer was the worst (even worse than byleth) It was "boring" and "dragged on" and that it was obvious that it was a smash trailer (mostly only the peoples who expect a smash reveal at the start of every direct would think it’s a reveal right away, most peoples didn’t know it was)

[@slobertooth1358]

@@Zoroark_Master Wow that is a really bad take, I just think he hates xenoblade 2

[@Zoroark_Master]

@@slobertooth1358 he’s actually neutral on them.

[@joshdavenport6290]

Uh, Sephiroth was also revealed at the game awards, why only mention that Joker was revealed during the game awards

[@GrandeDubstep]

TOP WORST CHARACTER REVELATIONS 6-No one 5-Because 4-Every character trailer 3-Is 2-Excelent 1-Byleth

[@mitchellc5832]

During the Steve section, when you said he could use dynamite instead of TNT, a part of my soul withered away

[@TheAdvertisement]

Let's be honest, Steve had the most cinematic, accurate to the game, and just generally well put together trailer out of all of them.

[@TheAdvertisement]

@@user-wj8wn6gd3y Yes

[@hydrocritical2268]

Maybe Banjo or K rool did

[@NintendoPlayer307]

Glad to see you back

[@mariomaster101official]

Imagine putting Current at last smh

[@NinoNinoSimp]

The only way they are topping a Steve reveal is with Waluigi or by actually adding Sans. Either of those would have major shock factor for me

[@Allen1350]

It's a bummer Waluigi didn't make it in. That's okay, the bear and bird make up for it. Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie, best games ever. I'm trying to pretend Nuts & Bolts never happened. 😐

[@djj250]

🤣🤣🤣

[@Nylo_Olyn]

He is going to be in the next smash.

[@Nylo_Olyn]

@Donny the epic gamer95 only 2 Mario characters per smash game. Ok

[@Allen1350]

@Donny the epic gamer95 I suspect a bit of sarcasm in your comment. Understandable. I see where you come from. Just remember, though: Super Mario games are the cornerstone of Nintendo's popularity. Imagine a Nintendo console without a Mario game on it. I mean, come on, they added the freaking piranha plant to the roster! 😆 It could've just as easily been a paragoomba that turned into King Goomba for the final smash. It is amazing, though, seeing all of the franchises pulling together for one epic fighting game.

[@LunaticKD1991]

Waluigi is an assist trophy. Just run after and use every assist trophy you can find and hope your god Waluigi deems you worthy to appear before you to help you out.

[@thesiblingshow2814]

Highly Unappreciated How Much Nathaniel Bandy Assumes About His Fans And This Only Adds To It

[@SaltyBanjos]

Steve's reveal will always be my personal favorite, as a person who grew up during the golden age of Minecraft this character was like another father to me, and seeing the pixels of the cave when Mario was launched into, I was crying like a madman and cheering as if I won life

[@domikku8816]

I think that Sora's reveal needed to be the first one, and I don't even like him or Kingdom Hearts. But the trailer was just so amazing, expecially when Sora and Mario shake hands while everyone is watching. Such a perfect way to end Super Smash Bros.

[@Zolerian]

So if you say that Current's reveal was the worst one, you are saying that your reveal of the sponsor was worse than every Ultimate Character Reveal. Interesting.

[@grayfox4819]

So many popular games have been represented in this game. The only one for me that was missing was Crash Bandicoot, and it would have been perfect. But I still take it any day.

[@VMStudiosOfficial]

I’m sad Waluigi isn’t in Smash, but he’s got a Taco Stand to run!

[@eggy8730]

I decided to watch the Joker reveal from a video where the person was at the live event he got revealed at and even tho I alr knew how it went, it just felt so much more energetic. Super cool character and a super cool reveal.

[@Raph___A]

I'm going to be so sad now that there will no longer be any reveal trailers during future Nintendo directs.

[@kevmk8997]

Me too man it's less stuff to watch a Nintendo direct for...

[@superdude7918]

The original Kingdom Hearts was inspired by Mario 64 That's why I feel so good to see sora and Mario shake hands
