@@mirzapramudya1580 Oh yeah man. They were best pals and Iwata was basically his mentor. They co-created the first Smash game together and came up with the Smash Ballot together. Iwata passed away knowing that Sora won the ballot _and_ believing that it would be impossible for Nintendo to get the okay from Disney. Sakurai went above and beyond with Ultimate in part because he wanted to honor Iwata as much as he possibly could. Makes everything about this game all the more magical with that context.

He lost due to the combined efforts of the power of friendship and his overcockiness causing him to go easy on Cloud constantly. In Smash though, yeah. Plenty of stronger characters. Kirby series, End-Game Shulk, and Creative Mode Steve for example. Depending on how much you scale some more questionable feats, Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Rosalina, Metroid series, Kid Icarus series, Sonic and Mewtwo have a shot. I also don't think Sephiroth can actually kill Ganon, but exploding the planet might be an issue for the Dark Lord. Also unsure about Ness and Lucas (Idk jack all about Mother) but there's a chance they may be super strong too.

Something that sucks about the Byleth trailer is that it's built like the Joker trailer: we're shown the character/series first, and then the big reveal moment is when Smash is revealed, unlike most other trailers. But this style of trailer worked for Joker because it was shown at the Game Awards, meaning that it presenting itself as a regular Persona 5 trailer works because that's something that can totally show up at an event like that, making the reveal that it's actually a Smash trailer surprising and impactful. But for Byleth, the trailer was shown in a Smash-specific Direct. We knew going in that it would be a Smash reveal, so making that the big reveal moment didn't work at all and just made the trailer boring as hell.

Another thing to note is that Joker's Reveal was all original... while Byleth's was during the part when he got green hair. Like I'm an FE fan who played 3H a lot and I felt annoyed that they chose that way to reveal them. I mean, why THAT part? They could've done something with the 3H animation that wasn't giving me Corrin trailer vibes. But nope.

@moonmannd75012 жыл бұрын
I'm one of the people that think Byleth was definitely a bump-up in the dlc schedule for some BTS development reason (my money's on Steve giving them trouble) and the awkwardness of the trailer is one of the biggest red flags. It's glaringly obvious how this was very clearly being made for a Nintendo Direct not specifically a smash one, like Pyra. Plus a 3H character is entirely in line with the rest of FP2. We'll never know but if you're willing to talk with an asterisk, both Byleth and their trailer were an almost transparent swap-in.

What I find so intricately well-designed about the Everyone is Here video is the fact that all the hype is so evenly distributed and beautifully paced instead of focused on one big reveal, which makes the video not feel as long as it is while also not becoming stale after one big moment. Snake's reveal was very evidently the big bang, but sprinkled around it are a lot of short but huge moments as well. Every single reactor to this trailer had their eyes glued to the screen for the entirety of its duration. -The reveal of new Battlefield -Breath of the Wild Link -New Zelda design -Mewtwo is base game now instead of DLC -The return of Ice Climbers -Inkling's first gameplay moment -Pokemon Trainer returns (and Squirtle and Ivysaur) -Ryu returns -Ocarina of Time Ganon returns -Cloud returns against all odds, as immediate foreshadowing of what's to come -SNAAAAAAAAAAAKE -The phrase "Everyone is Here!" officially dropped -Pichu being immediately shown in order to reinforce the "Everyone is Here" point -Various other DLC from the previous game are also confirmed to be in the base game (among others, Roy and Bayonetta) -As the music ramps up in intensity, Toon Link is accompanied by Young Link to further reinforce that EVERYONE IS HERE -With the music about to wrap up triumphantly, Wolf jumps in as the last bit of confirmation that, yes, we mean EVERYONE -The title drop: SUPER SMASH BROS ULTIMATE -And finally, the huge banner, and one last time, the phrase "Everyone is Here!"

There were examples of japanese players getting blown out by american hero players in tournaments because they weren't familiar with the menu commands in english, and didn't know what they were activating, or which of the 4 of 20 possible commands came up on the menu

Something important to consider regarding the build up/hype level of Isabelle, Byleth, and Pyra/Mythra's trailers is the context under which they were shown. It's something that's lost when watching them on their own like Max did here, because they all have the Smash Logo opener to tell you that they're a Smash trailer. But Isabelle didn't have that. Her trailer was shown completely on its own, at a point where we hadn't had a new Animal Crossing game since New Leaf on 3DS, and it was 100% intended to trick you into thinking it was a trailer for a new Animal Crossing at first, which is why they also followed it _immediately_ with a reveal _for_ a new Animal Crossing. Pyra/Mythra's was shown under a similar circumstance, except Xenoblade 2 had already been out. It was shown without the Smash Logo Opener to trick you into thinking it was related to Xenoblade 2, and that helps with the misdirection and buildup (unless you've played and completed the game, but external knowledge of all these characters spoils the reveal in a lot of instances.) In both those cases they were deliberately created with similar, or the exact same, assets that were used in their respective games, and they could get away with it because they were missing the Smash Logo Opener. Byleth, on the other hand, was not only made to purposefully look like Fire Emblem, but it was at the very least part of a presentation that was outright advertised as being "a smash bros reveal presentation." And as soon as the trailer starts, you know it's Fire Emblem, then like 10 seconds later, you see Byleth and the reveal is pretty much squandered. It's unfortunate that the character that was practically guaranteed to be received the most poorly, was damn near manufactured to be as disappointing as possible. -For FE fans, there are plenty of other characters people would've preferred, even within the limits of 3 Houses -The trailer was shown in a context that obliterates any hope of an exciting reveal -Byleth was released following 3 absolutely insane "impossible" characters, and 1 really cool, unexpected third party -Byleth was released as the final character in Fighter's Pass 1, and we didn't know there would be more DLC until later in the stream It's like they wanted people to be disappointed.

I feel like some of the magic of the Everyone is Here trailer was missed due to time and context. Throughout the various games a lot of characters have been left out for various reasons, whether popularity, hardware limitations or relevance and that combined with how many third party characters were introduced in the previous installment that would have been legal nightmares to bring back, everyone was expecting a roster cut or a brand new reduced roster but as the trailer slowly showed off more and more characters, including characters that were expected to not come back, the hype and excitement kept building up until the Everyone is Here Snake reveal moment that was such an explosive realisation that they went above and beyond. It still gives me chills watching it again. Definitely a perfect trailer. And then practically every trailer after that was meant to be a crowd pleaser, giving everyone exactly what they wanted and asked for. This game is genuinely a perfect game.

The Belmont's trailer is still my absolute favorite. Crossing over Luigi's Mansion and Castlevania was an absolute stroke of genius. We didn't really get a lot of "worlds colliding" trailers like this one (or Rosalina from Smash 4, or Little Mac vs Ken vs Incineroar) where two games with common themes mesh together effortlessly like that. Getting us to believe that every video game world exists in the same universe and can be visited like that is something only Smash can really do. It's just so damn charming. THAT BEING SAID, it's almost impossible to argue that Sephiroth's wasn't the most impressive of the bunch. Even if you didn't know a thing about him or FF7, his trailer made you _want_ to know. And if you _were_ familiar with him...yeah, it was a huge pop-off moment. And incorporating _so many characters_ in the first part of the trailer like that? Richter, Zelda, Mewtwo, Inkling, Banjo and Kazooie, and Bayonetta? Like, come on, the Sephiroth trailer was a fucking feast for the eyes, man.

What I noticed upon closer inspection later on that Max didn't seem to touch upon for his trailer review of Sephiroth's reveal was that there were more allusions to FFVII characters than just Zelda = Aerith. The attack against Sephiroth that proc's his One-Winged Angel state involved Mewtwo just standing there followed by three assailants; together they are the Turks (Mewtwo = Tseng, Sheik = Elena, Terry = Rude, Crom = Reno). The sudden attack in the last CG sequence by Bayonetta and Greninja, I dare say, could be said to represent Vincent and Yuffie, respectively, seeing as Vincent uses a handgun (Joker already was used in the trailer getting jobbed with the rest of the sword characters) and Yuffie is a ninja with a giant shuriken. Both are secret/optional characters to obtain for your party in FFVII.

For Kazuya, 2 things: 1: I remember how excited you were for the Heihachi stage addition, only to realize that he was just in the background. 2: If I remember this correctly, Sakurai said that the original plan would have been just 5 more characters, then he bumped into someone from Disney in the Elevator and made a pitch on having Sora in Smash. If not for that Elevator Pitch, Kazuya would have been the last fighter, which would have been satisfying, but not the perfect ending a lot of people feel that Sora's inclusion was.

It really makes me sad to see people in other videos ranking Terry's trailers so low, seeing all those SNK characters in their original pixel art bit designs, all chasing that smash invitation (and even dying/recreating iconic scenes while at it) before it falls dramatically to the floor. All for Terry Bogard to pick it up. Its stylish, extremely nostalgic for SNK fans, and had an amazing build up to the actual fighter. And tbh, a lot of Ultimate's reveals were amazing: Ridley's trailer was an epic escalation to a character everyone knew exactly who it was, but couldn't believe actually made it. Having Megaman and Mario _literally murdered_ just added to the already immaculate moment. Sora's trailer was the last key opening the final door to Ultimate's lifespan, giving the game and all the characters one last ride before they go. It was truly magical, especially with Simple and Clean running in the background with Sora flying in the air as if he's saying "yeah, this is real." Sephiroth's was an absolute nightmare, having 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 only for _one wing angel_ to start playing. 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. And finally, Joker. While his reveal might not be the absolute favorite among most fans; 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, his teammates 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.

I’ve always adored how the camera hung onto Pit in the Sephiroth trailer. Foreshadowing the One Winged Angel’s entrance by letting the camera sit on Smash’s angel character, and literally reflecting the physical representation of the curtain Sephiroth entered through in Pit’s eye.

Byleth reveal also had a weird translation thing where they changed a joke for the English version. Strange little things like that made it seem really unconfident. And while the voice acting and animation was rad it's still just a scene from the game.

I love how each trailer has little nods to their own series. Kazuya and King K. Rool recreating the Bandai Namco logo animation from Tekken. Lucas posing like Rock Howard with Terry. Banjo and Diddy recreating the Konga fight from BK1. Sora feeding the Dream Drop Distance animals. K. Rool's head getting stomped three times. Simon Belmont using holy water to reveal chicken, then Richter recreating his holy water super move with the rain in Olimar's stage. Squirtle and Pyra recreating the NEVER TOUCH A MAN'S TURTLE!!!!! scene. Even the Mii Fighter costume trailers snuck in wild things like Sans on a text box, Doom Guy and Mario recreating the DOOM pose, etc.
@KevSB072 жыл бұрын
I love the references so much. To list a few more: Alex chases a cucco from Zelda with her sword as if it’s a chicken in Minecraft, Zombie breaks a door down before being revealed, Zombie drops a piece of meat when thrown as if dropping rotten flesh when dying, Enderman picks up a box like he steals blocks, Enderman stares at Snake in his box, Enderman stands under the platform to avoid the rain. It’s all so good! In the Byleth trailer, there’s a shot of Byleth pointing forward with their sword and a bunch of little ice climbers rushing forward, likely a nod to Byleth being a professor and commander, sending her students to battle. In another shot, Byleth stands behind Isabelle with her fishing rod, a reference to the fishing minigame at the monastery. Sephiroth nearly stabs Zelda just like Aerith, and then even if he never actually stabbed Mario, the camera angle was made so that shot recreated exactly a scene and shot from Advent Children. There’s even the theory that Ken parried before showing his final smash specifically to reference Evo moment 37.

The "EVERYONE IS HERE!" trailer is when you really knew something special was happening precisely because *everybody* who'd ever been playable in Smash was coming back, Day 1. My favorite bit of the Ridley trailer is still the hat twirl. He was so proud he just murdered Mario. The Joker trailer was the moment for this game where it felt like anything was on the table for characters. One of the details I loved about Joker's gameplay trailer was how Tetra/Makarakarn uses the same sound effect from some of the SMT DS/3DS games when those moves reflect something.

I feel like Cloud and Sephiroth will always be the GOAT's of "There is no way that could ever happen" characters. You have to understand, FF7 was THE game that killed Nintendo's relationship with Squaresoft. Square, up until that point, was a second party developer exclusively for Nintendo and abandoned them for the Sony Playstation. Nintendo's executives were so god damn pissed at this that their refusal to engage with anything Square based did not end until they all retired. That is the ONLY reason we got those characters. And it was on both sides; Square exec's were feuding with Nintendo's too. The fact that Cloud got in was a miracle. But following up with Sephiroth? Christ. That was the final handshake to signify the end of a 20 year feud. It's one thing to get Disney's approval to slap their copyright on anything, but it's another to end a feud between two angry Japanese companies. That is on par with hearing Sony and Microsoft agree to work together.

Sora's trailer really hit hard if you look at it in the grand scheme of things. Him being a fighter represents Ultimate and its DLC's perfectly as both, before Ultimate was even teased, were though to be impossible. Then they both shown that the impossible can be possible and that dreams could actually come true in that Ultimate had every character and massive crossovers, and that Sora from Kingdom Hearts is one of those crossovers. The trailer reminded people what happened with this game, and this game's "story" has ended with that thought. Well done Sakurai... Well done.
@hydro_storm45272 жыл бұрын
The best part of the Sora trailer imo is it bookends the overall experience of Smash Ultimate. It starts with the first trailer - the Inkling seeing the initial roster and the burning logo, then at the end after all the hype, the surprises, and whatever Piranha Plant was supposed to be, we see the full roster and the logo burns out, with one last flame burning. The first Smash Character according to the roster then pulls the final character out of the dying flame for one last impossibility. Sora wasn't a character i personally wanted, but he was "impossible" in the eyes of so many it was cool to see Sakurai actually pull it off.

I think it's worth noting that the Pyra/Mythra trailer was the only one that Sakurai and his trailer team did not write the majority of the script of. He actually "trusted" Monolith Soft to write everything excluding gameplay segments. I don't think it changes the quality of the trailer but is a great indicator of how essential Monolith has become to Nintendo as a whole and why Xenoblade deserves it's position in the Smash roster

Better than a character from the game that was on the Wii U that almost nobody played, or the game that already put in the only character that would fit in Smash, at the very least.

One of the best video game trailers period, not just Smash.

Something I think has some understated quality about the 'Everyone Is Here' trailer is that before Snake, you get all the characters that were likely, but not guarantees.
