Super Smash Bros. 4: Main Theme

The true main theme of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, combining Battlefield with the opening cinematic/E3 trailer...just as we imagine the main theme would be.
Oh, and it's the best main theme in Smash history.
Update 4/4/17: This has become my second video to break 10,000 views. Thanks everyone!

Either Master Chief, Dr. Eggman, Sora, Jonesy, Crash Bandicoot, Scorpion or EMMI(Metroid Dread). I really hope it's Master Chief, but I feel like all these characters are the most likely ones

This song will always and I mean always have a special place in my heart. Smash 4 was the first smash game I owned and I absolutely love the game. It's introduced me to so many franchises and just different things in general. I watched one of my favorite youtubers play smash 3ds and I fell in love. Smash 4 also got me into competitive gaming. I learned a lot from this game. I became a fan of a KZbinr that I didn't think I would be and really I look back on it and have so many memories with it. People say "It's a bad game" I'm sorry but no this game isn't bad. It brought in so many new people into the series and it's overall a game I keep close to me. I love Smash 4!

Justin Marchis Don't forgot LoZ, you can't forget about LoZ.

[@life_archive7840]

Justin Marchis Mario is a great game, it really is. Zelda is it's harder counterpart, a bit more complicated than Mario. The original SMB didn't have any directions, but it was pretty easy to figure out. The original LoZ was actually pretty hard to figure out, since there were around 20 items and a lot of "levels".

[@lolo962]

Justin Marchis Zelda is for the gamers who want a puzzle and/or challenge. There are diverse puzzles and worlds/dungeons to explore. Mario and pokemon are for the casual gamers because there is like no violence in the games except pokemon which doesn't really count.

[@life_archive7840]

[@sageoffire3964]

HighSchoolLevel M E M E S T A R A. If was a clone, that wpuld mean it was good. Clones are good. Just lool at Oceanhorn (Zelda), N.O.V.A. (Halo) and Modern Combat (Call of Duty). Rip offs are the failures. All Stars wasn't a failure until you actually tried to play it. The idea was great, but it was poorly executed. If it has more time put into it, and had a better cast of fighters, it might have been great. 2. Halo was never a Call of Duty clone. It was always it's own thing, and if you ask me, is the best fps ever.

I think you may like this theme better as a piece of music, which is understandable, but Smash Ultimate’s is much more fitting for such an epic, big fighting game LIKE Smash Ultimate, which is why it’s (in my opinion) much better as a Smash Bros. Theme.

[@jonathanwilliams1271]

This just tops Smash 5's theme for me. The lyrics are nice, and the singer's got a great voice, but it didn't seem like anything too special to me. Nothing can top Brawl's theme though of course. To this day, listening to it gives me chills. RIP Subspace.
