Super Smash Bros All Game Intros Reaction

[@MilanTehVillain]

Fun fact; Brawl's main theme was composed by Nobuo Uematsu, of Final Fantasy fame.

[@smallrockstudios9395]

Idk who that is but he’s a genius

[@XX2Media]

Ah yes, Maestro Uematsu. He is truly the Mozart of video game music. I’d defy anyone to say otherwise.

[@Lycanthromancer1]

@@smallrockstudios9395Easily one of the best composers of the modern age, regardless of the fact that he started (and specialized) in video games. 100% self-taught, too! No formal training _at all!_ If you want two other utter masterpieces, check out the orchestral versions of "One Winged Angel" and "Dancing Mad."

Smash actually does have a story mode! Two actually, Brawl has the most narrative driven while Ultimate is more combat and puzzle focused. You could definitely look at the cinematics for Brawl’s story mode (Sub Space Emissary) and still follow its story while Ultimate has very little cutscenes, literally just the start of the mode and the ending(s) Brawl’s story mode is essentially the villains of each franchise in the Brawl cast teaming up to take over the collective universes and transforming the heroes into trophies, a sort of hibernation state each fighter goes into when knocked out. The heroes attempt to band together and defeat the villains, following different groups until they eventually all team up. While Ultimate sees every single fighter attempting to defeat the Big Bad and ending up being defeated by a devastating attack, Kirby being the sole survivor (Sakurai’s favoritism to his child) and setting out on a quest to liberate the captured fighters, who have been copied and are used as vessels for lesser characters from the franchises and forced go serve the Big Bad. Ultimate’s World of Light mode is definitely more better to play through yourself while Brawl’s story can be viewed on KZbin without losing out on much from the actual gameplay. Especially since it might be difficult to get a Wii console and a copy of Brawl yourself. Glad you enjoyed what you saw though!

[@SyxxPunk]

Subspace Emissary is such a good choice for a reaction!

[@acrab6527]

@@SyxxPunk Subspace Emissary is just good. There is minimal dialogue, yet you go through every emotion.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Thanks for the info on that. We had wondered about checking out the story for Brawl but also heard it had little to no dialogue so didn’t know if we’d be able to follow it or if it would work for reaction but seems like that’s not the case. Good to know 😀

[@Rexvils]

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames always happy to help! I believe the intentions when developing the story mode in Brawl was “It would be too expensive to hire voice actors for each character and too complicated since many are Silent Protagonists” so they focused on conveying the characters’ emotions and personalities by how they act and express themselves. This also helps if you have no idea who the character is, the way they act conveys who they are.

😎🤟☺️

[@khaleelurrivers3410]

For me. Was Melee’s, but that might be my personal bias since that was the very first smash I owned as well as the one I had the most time spent playing by myself.

[@itsturniptime3699]

I love how Rathalos made an appearance in the Ultimate intro even though there isn’t a proper fighter rep for Monster Hunter in the game. Some Mii Costumes were added later but Rathalos was just a boss fight and occasional Assist Character in Items games. The respect Monster Hunter gets from Japan is really endearing, especially since two of its music tracks where played during the Tokyo Olympics.

[@thecringeprophet]

The olympics was a huge shock for me.

[@thecringeprophet]

13:01 yep there’s rathalos!

[@mechanomics2649]

There absolutely should have been a Monster Hunter rep in the form of a hunter. It's a crime that one was never entered while others were.

[@itsturniptime3699]

@@mechanomics2649 Well the problem is that Monster Hunter in comparison is a very slow and methodical character. We can’t really fit them into Smash without killing the spirit of the character, which Smash is generally against. Plus they would most likely swap weapons for different moves, but then they just become a rehashed Byleth and won’t stay faithful to their home game. Rathalos as a boss fight is possibly the best decision they could have made since getting Hunter to work in Smash and look good would be finicky to say the least.

[@formorian5]

You have no idea how seeing, and hearing, that Ultimate trailer made me FEEL. Hearing a song I have known for over two decades, from one of my oldest and dearest games, in a new light. This song that I associate with high energy fighting, that gets you pumped for battle, turned into an epic of music for the last and greatest entry of an iconic series. Orchestral music, gorgeous vocals, a song of hope in bleak circumstances, of rallying together, and righteous battle against the darkness. No exaggeration, I cried. I was unbearably happy, and a little sad, but in a good way. You want to end on a high note, and Ultimate is the send-off the game's deserved. Thank you, Sakurai. We didn't deserve you, but we needed you, and you gave us everything.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

☺️ well said 🙂

[@khaleelurrivers3410]

I was feeling the same thing. I played smash from the N64 all the way to switch, and have had great memories with each game of the franchise. So hearing the ending song was indescribable for me. My coworker asked if I was alright cause I was listening to this at work, and I responded “I’m not crying you’re crying!” 🤣

[@lightup6751]

Was the theme the same on N64 Smash? I grew up on it but dont remember it being the same weirdly

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Looking forward to checking it out 😀

[@portlmaster]

The reason why smash bros ultimate has the song 'LifeLight' playing, is because it's the song that brought the these fighters in smash, and the tag line for smash bros ultimate is "Everyone is Here". From melee to brawl to smash 4 (Wii U and 3Ds) there were fighters that were cut out from those games and its been a literal decade since some of those fighters came back for smash, hence with ultimate "Everyone is Here", they brought everyone back. No one got the boot.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Thanks for explaining significance of that song 🙂

[@LuckyArceus]

Gotta respect brawl for having a literal Latin opera opening with actual Latin lyrics.

[@Mr.Andy38]

Watching these trailers again from the very beginning to now, brings a tear to my eye. I've been playing Smash since the first game as a kid and still playing now as an adult.

Master Hand is the main boss of older smash, in single player mode. It's basically the hand of the kid which plays with the figures, all the way back from the first game

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

😎👍🙂

[@hahaoriginal6921]

The only real story mode with cutscenes all throughout was for Brawl called the Subspace Emmisary and it showcases most of the characters in that game interacting with each other in a single world which was cool. Definitely see that since it was on the Wii and it is already long without the gameplay sections in the middle. Ultimate technically has World of Light but there are barely any cutscenes to see and the main focus was on the fights with special modifiers, no real story to see, but it’s on the Switch so could there playthrough in the future? Also, love it when every time Ken sees the Wii Fit Trainer he can’t believe his eyes.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

We don’t have a Nintendo Switch but we could make an investment so that we can play some Nintendo games on the channel 🙂

[@slippahmastah]

In the Intro of the N64 Smash Game, it is established that every character in the game are actually toys and the hands are making them fight

"Newcomer MetaKnight" More terrifying words were never spoken. Funny you guys picked up on the song because Sakurai said there would be a huge hint as to the final roster choices... the last of which turned out to be Kingdom Hearts, something fans had been hoping for years.

(3:05) Those guys that you said looked like the Blues Brothers are the Runaway Five. They are a band in MOTHER 2 (The game Ness is from) that travel around, but always gets in debt by some sort of bogus contract and Ness always has to end up getting them out of debt during his adventure. Runaway Five were heavily inspired by the Blues Brothers so much so that in the original Japanese version of MOTHER 2 the band name was "Runaway Brothers." but due to copyright laws when localizing the game to America they had to rename the band to "Runaway Five" (even tho there are actually 6 people in the band) as well as changing their black suits in the Japanese version of MOTHER 2 to red and green suits (reminiscent of Mario & Luigi) in the US version.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Growing in the early 2000s Smash Bros. Brawl was my first game in the series, and it introduced me to a ton of video games outside of Mario , Pokemon and Sonic. You should react to the character trailers for Smash Bros 3DS and Wii U and PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.

Fun Fact: Link and Zelda due to the whole multiple timelines and reincarnation have the most characters represented in Smash. I hope you have popcorn cause this will take a while. The first two have the older Ocarina of Time Link and Zelda. Melee adding Link’s younger self as a separate character and Zelda’s male alter ego Sheik as a transformation. The third and fourth games change this by using Link and Zelda’s descendants from Twilight Princess which is part of Young Link’s timeline, though Zelda still has her alter ego Sheik for some reason. They also added Link from The Wind Waker as Toon Link who is a reincarnation from Ocarina of Time’s adult timeline who is not related to the previous Link. However the Spirit Train stage uses a *different* Toon Link in the background from Spirit Track, which is a hundred years after The Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass. Ultimate changes this up again by introducing Link from Breath of the Wild which is so far into the future it’s unknown which timeline he’s from. The Zelda in Ultimate is from A Link Between Worlds, a game from a timeline where Ocarina of Time Link died in the final battle. Since Sheik was made a separate character this means Ocarina of Time Zelda is in the game as well. Ganondorf is a bit more peculiar as he’s only been reincarnated twice in the whole series so all of his Smash appearances are the same person but at different ages. Melee and Ultimate use his younger Ocarina of Time appearance however Brawl, WiiU and 3DS use his appearance from Twilight Princess. Strangely his appearance in Brawl doesn’t have the glowing scar he got from being run through with a sword. I’m not going to go into the other headaches with there being stages and using attacks from different places in the timeline.

[@Rubberman202]

The intro for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 64 is completely unique as far as I'm aware. The intro for Super Smash Bros. Melee is actually the initial reveal trailer for the game, though it was so long ago, you're more likely to find a video recording at the live event of it's reveal than the raw trailer itself. Super Smash Bros. Brawl's intro has bits taken from its story mode, the Subspace Emissary, which I HIGHLY recommend reacting to sometime. Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS doesn't have an intro, I believe, while Super Smash Bros. for Wii U's intro is basically made up of it's character reveal trailers, though oddly enough it's missing from the video you watched; you only saw the reveal trailer for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U and a character reel from one of the Super Smash Bros. Nintendo Directs. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's intro is similar to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U's intro in that it's also made up of stuff from the character reveal trailers, but it also has stuff from it's story mode, World of Light. Unlike Subspace Emissary, I wouldn't really recommend reacting to it's cutscenes because there's only, like, 5 of them, and they're all short and light on content. Only the opening cutscene has much meat to it, and you might as well just watch the reveal trailer for World of Light because it's basically just plus and overview of the gist of what that story mode is light. I'd say each intro to Smash Bros. gives a good idea of what each game is like; Smash 64 is light, comic book-like fun, Melee is Smash 64 but bigger and better, Brawl takes itself very seriously (almost too seriously), Smash Wii U is... well, it is what it is, and Ultimate truly feels "ultimate" in every sense of the word.

You haven't watched Splatoon 1 or 2 , right?

We weren't friends by the time Melee came out, and Fox was fantastic and I accidentally was decent at that game. love Melee so much. played a bit of Brawl, never the next 2. but man, Melee is still fun when I run into somebody at a friends house and they know what they're doing.

Gotta love the smash bros games. Intros are always fun. There are just some unknown reasons on why intros on some games just pull you in. Definitely on smash bros you just can't stop smiling on their intros. To answer kens question about the blues Brothers in the smash bros melee intro....I'd have to say they're definitely influenced by Jake & Elwood blues. "I'll have 4 fried chickens and a coke" ...lol. love that line great movie! But after watching the Ssb melee intro I believe they are in that intro...even if just for shock factor.

Love your reactions! Smash bros is a very nostalgic series for me too. While this is slightly unrelated, do you think at some point, you could react to an Evil Dead trailer? I wouldn’t mind if it’s for a movie, the tv show, or the recent game.

These aren't only intros, it's including trailers too. The dogs are from the game Nintendogs.

Hello, I hope you are both well, I love your video reactions, and since you have reacted with this to 3 smash videos, one of your favorite games, I would love to make a recommendation if you are interested. You see, there are some videos called "Palutena's Guidance" where they explain a bit about each character in the game in a very interesting and fun way. also if you are interested you could see the "sub space emissary" from super smash bros brawl, which is practically like a movie. Thank you for reading and I hope you are very well.

Thanks so much for the well wishes and reaching out. Those are great recommendations and we do plan to eventually react to them 😀

3:05 Yes thos are the blues brothers Earthbound had a TON of musical pop culture references sadly this is the same reason why the third game will never come out, both are amazing classic RPG's.

you should check out all the Star Fox conversations in Ultimate with Fox, Wolf and Falco and maybe even every fighter reveal for Smash Bros for Wii U / 3DS too

There’s actually a good video by Game Theory that lays out a plot for the games It basically follows a young boy who plays with his Nintendo toys, with each game and every battle being the boy’s imagination. It’s like how a child would make their toys fight. Throughout each game, the child would grow, with him being a teenager in Melee, a young adult in Brawl, and finally an adult in Smash 4 and Ultimate In the first game, the final boss is Master Hand, which is a physical representation of the boy’s creativity. The Master Hand is the creator of the Smash World. In Melee, Master Hand returns along with his counterpart, Crazy Hand. Crazy Hand is a representation of the boy’s chaotic and destructive nature, which comes from him being a teenager and wanting to destroy things. While Master Hand created the Smash World, Crazy Hand aims to destroy it. In Brawl, Master Hand returns, but is no longer the main threat. Instead, it’s a being named Tabou. The boy is now a young adult, and the social taboo is that young adults do not play with toys. Master Hand is quite literally controlled by Tabou and forced to turn the characters into trophies, basically Societal Taboo forcing the boy to see his toys as simply that, toys and trophies. In Smash 4, at the end of the boss fight against Master Hand and Crazy Hand, after defeating both at the same time, a dark smoke bursts out of the hands to form Master Core. The Master Core is the manifestation of the boy’s frustrations and anger. After a surprisingly intense final boss, the Master Core simply turns into a glowing ball with the Smash logo on it and lets the player finish it off. This could represent the boy finally giving up and letting his imagination control him In Smash Ultimate, there are two main threats. Galeem and Dharkon. Galeem represents the light, or the boy’s imagination. While Dharkon represents reality, trying to tear down the boy’s imagination and force him to confront the cruel world beyond, in game he literally sucks the soul out of the characters, turning them into corrupted husks, essentially sucking the imagination and wonder out of the boy. Galeem and Dharkon are at war and the Nintendo characters are essentially in the middle of it all. If Galeem wins, the boy will be stuck in a fantasy, or in his imagination, never growing up. If Dharkon wins, the boy will lose his imagination, and lose the thing that gave him so much happiness throughout his childhood. In the end, both Galeem and Dharkon had to be destroyed. The Nintendo Characters become orbs of light and float to the sky. The boy can finally grow up and move on while still holding on to his colorful imagination. Game Theory also states that the game represents the journey of Smash’s creator, Masuhiro Sakurai. With Sakurai starting out as a child who was a massive Nintendo fan. Sakurai represents Master Hand, creating the Smash games and being the creator behind the franchise itself. Sakurai had difficulties creating the sequel, Smash Melee. It is clear that Smash Bros is now affecting his life, and is actively ruining his health and overtaking his life. Crazy Hand represents Sakurai’s desire to destroy Smash, to destroy everything he has built so he would get his life back again. As stated in Crazy Hand’s bio, he represents a creator’s desire to destroy everything they have built. In Brawl, this is amplified even more by Tabou, a representation of Nintendo itself, locking Sakurai and forcing him to continue making Smash games even if he wishes to stop In Smash 4, Master Core represents all of Sakurai’s anger and frustrations finally being released. In the end, he finally gives up and let the player defeat him. Sakurai has given up everything he wanted and will keep giving what the fans want, which is more Smash games and more DLCs Smash Ultimate has Galeem and Dharkon. Galeem represents the fans of Smash, who keeps wanting Sakurai to create more and more games. Dharkon represents Nintendo, who will ruin Smash and the story behind it if they take over. The Fans and Nintendo clash while Sakurai, representing the Nintendo characters, is stuck in the middle. Whether one side wins or not, he will suffer. He either has to make even more games. Or he will lose ownership of his own creation, and will be forced to watch as the franchise he created loses its message and meaning. It isn’t until both are defeated that the toys can finally be released and not forced to battle each other for eternity
