Rewatching this 10 years later hits very different, each of these directs having different English Translators is one example until they stopped having them with Min Min’s presentation. Watching the Assist Trophy showcase and seeing Dark Samus do unique attacks hurts, also Chef Kawashima replaced Isabelle as the AT that gives out food. The fakeouts of ZSS and Sheik not being cut are still funny and I wonder how Yoshi fans felt about him being revealed last.

what i appreciate most about the next smash is how sakurai is making the game more friendly towards the competitive scene. its faster, less random, and it incorporates a more streamlined combo system.

[@nicolasanguilano3075]

Not to mention how much control they're incorporating in the "For Glory" mode! It seems like the perfect mode to practice competitive play when you're alone.

[@lucifersam7946]

[@sylinmino]

It's not just the competitive crowd he's aiming to please--he has several shoutouts towards the casual crowd too! Sakurai is attempting to do the impossible, to make a game that is better for the competitive scene than Melee, and better for the casual scene than Brawl, at the same time! ...And so far, he's succeeding!

[@RoseSupreme]

I'm sure Mewtwo fans were disappointed that it was really Greninja in that ending trailer. But I'm guessing there's more to that than meets the eye. As for the people who finished watching the trailer for the first time... They didn't pay close attention to the Water Shuriken and thought it was an Aura Sphere/Shadow Ball kind of attack. That and the three fingers thing are the common reasons why many people thought he was Mewtwo. Sakurai isn't just a "troll" - he's a guy with odd, yet clever mindgames. Perhaps he knew the Mewtwo trick would work and the development team are working on him in private, ready to reveal him at a later date like E3? Or perhaps becoming an unannounced unlockable character once the game ships. It's just like in Brawl where they didn't announce some of the characters that players unlocked in the game.

There is so much in this Direct. The character breakdowns. A plethora of new items. The acknowledgment of the hardcore with "For Glory," but then also having variants of Final Destination. Smash Run for the 3DS looks awesome. The Charizard and Greninja's reveals were dope. (And Greninja uses a Substitute and we've got a Mega Charizard X; the sheer attention to detail is astonishing.) Hot damn, I'm stoked for this.

[@SirDman1999]

I think that Charizard and Greninja might be like the Pokemon Trainer from Brawl, and therefore we might get another Pokemon reveal, like maybe Sceptile, but they'll all be 1 character

[@Bistai949]

SirDman1999 Sakurai said no transformations, so no, that won't happen

[@BanditGreenGuy]

SirDman1999 Sakurai just said that they got rid of the swapping for Samus and Zelda for the same reason that the Trainer was apparently removed. We might get another pokemon, being a fully evolved grass-starter, but I doubt we'll see any switching between them.

[@Karo2theG]

[@NeoNintendo5]

By releasing it on 3ds first, a larger install base gets to try out the game and realize how amazing it is. The Wii U version is heavily implied to be the superior version, so I think releasing it on 3ds first will instead convince more people to buy a wii u for when the console version hits.

[@NeoNintendo5]

***** Yea although the 3ds version is strong enough to stand on its own, I believe with this strategy the 3ds act as a 'demo' of sorts for the Wii U version.

[@snakeshifter02]

Can everyone shut up about Waluigi? I’m sorry but its getting old. Just stop

[@yo_tengo_una_boca6764]

The Rainbow Solgaleo Even if I do stop, there's still a ton of people that won't shut up about him. I'm sorry, but Waluigi is a trending topic, whether you like it or not.

[@Styxiami]

Marxist Squidward He just means that you shouldn’t have to degrade yourself in just like the rest of the idiots who worship Waluigi.

[@yo_tengo_una_boca6764]

Lone Challenger I think he just means that we should just stop talking about Waluigi.

[@arianagrandefromfortnite]

Ah the good old days when people didn't rage and insult the game over one character getting in... Bless be to Piranha Plant

[@Senthain]

Words cannot describe my hype right now.

[@Phenomiracle]

I can't be the only who found it amusing how they displayed Pikachu and Kirby looking happy in the "For Fun" option while showing Link and Samus in deathly serious poses for the "For Glory" option at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="548">9:08</a>.

[@pokeleoantiqua7326]

It’s amazing to go back and watch this after watching the direct for Super smash bros Ultimate

[@pmurtnidalaP]

7 years later, that Zero Suit Samus troll still makes me smile :D So much love put into this franchise and it's great to see Sakurai and his team's talents have only gotten better!

[@MetallicaBrando217]

Releasing the 3DS version first is actually a great idea. First off, because the 3DS version will release first, people will buy it, but still be eager to see the better looking Wii U version. Thus, lots of people will double-dip. Secondly, Nintendo isn't as worried about Wii U sales as you may think. They want larger profit. By releasing the 3DS version first, they get EVERYONE with a 3DS to buy it. And then the people who want the better version (most people) will buy the Wii U version. Doing it the other way around might result in similar Wii U sales, but also less 3DS sales. In other words, this is a great idea.

[@lolm2k]

This direct was beyond incredible. As a fan of competitive play, I'm super happy to see a "For Glory" option online, but I do wish more neutral stages such as Battlefield, Smashville, Dreamland, Fountain of Dreams etc. playable in this mode because we don't hate platforms. Cant complain tho, at least it's a step in the right direction and it shows Sakurai is paying attention to the competitive Smash community. Most stages having an FD version is sick news too!

[@xiezicong]

I see it as reinforcing (and even propelling) the "No Items, Fox only, Final Destination" stereotype of competitive play, which is never a good thing. I'm glad that one vs one online are now available though. But we all know LAN is where Smash is at.

[@LDR100]

John Tse Lan is megaman.exe navi so he will only appear during megamans final smash. XD

[@animekirby100]

It seems that despite what everyone says about other stages that are supposedly competitive-fair, the stage that has absolutely no gimmicks at all is Final Destination. Even though people complain about the flatness of it making some techniques way too easy to pull off, it's still basically the most basic stage ever.

[@lolm2k]

That's true, and FD is my most played stage anyway, but I do sometimes like to mix it up with other neutral stages. Speaking of stages I really hope dreamland comes back, was dissapointed to see it removed from Brawl

[@xiezicong]

Depending on the character, no platform can be a gimmick.

[@erickchristian48]

KZbin recommends this 1 day after Sora is released on Ultimate

[@Thelowestofthelowtiers]

This brings me back soooo many memories. I was getting a lot more into smash and waiting along with fellow smashers was so great. Even then,I enjoyed watching these directs and other vids to spark my excitement even more as I waited. I watched these 20+ times because besides me losing my 3ds games,I just couldn't stop watching the game and learning how to play it. Best wait ever.

[@AmazingArtistYellow]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1346">22:26</a> Okay, I believe Pit's new Final Smash is far too epic to ignore.

[@rafaelbernal4888]

I refuse to believe this is almost 9 years old

[@aceroro21]

Sakurai, you’ve come so far since this. I will always love your games, and you’ve always had a place in my heart.

[@coolestdude1224]

I sure hope that all of you guys would have lots of fun on this amazing game. :) Nintendo FTW!!!

[@FawfulsMinionCountdowns]

New Smash Rivalry: Greninja and Charizard. Love it. Gave us what we wanted there, Sakurai. Craftsmanship. ...still no sign of Chespin. ...anywhere. =/

[@momohbangura8100]

Blus ae

[@LleytonSPD]

And there never will be Chespin. See if you could remember sending this comment! Lol

[@Steven-ff1fs]

I can’t believe this was posted over 5 years ago! Still, watching this again gets me hyped for some reason😂

[@NovaRaptorTV]

Man, I was a junior in High School when these games released, and now I'm gonna be a junior in college. Time flies doesn't it?

[@tjmack010]

Funny how the logos for both versions foreshadows when they come out, the 3DS version is red which looks like fire (summer) and the WiiU version is blue which could be ice (winter), it's like we had the release dates from the start lol.

[@SuperKOR246]

You're right! I didn't notice that about the color. But i also always wondered why the 3DS logo always came first! Good observation!

[@dreamer72]

You actually just blew my mind.

[@sonicgalaxy27]

Marrell Coachman well it did came first dude and also is coming out first on the 3DS dude and the Wii U version is coming out second dude thats a realease and i wonder if sakurai can show the art box of smash bros 4.

[@coolestdude1224]

Who needs Playstation All Stars when you got Smash Bros! O_

[@pinguijose]

coming back to see these it feels almost like a nostalgic trip

[@sodaina4103]

I am from 4 years in the future. In 2018, there is a new Smash Game. Newcomers include Dark Samus, Daisy, Chrom, Inkling, Ridley, Simon Belmont, Richter Belmont, King K. Rool, and more. I will not even go into the mechanics. Also every single character and most stages return. It is on a console released in 2017 called the Switch

[@notwhoyouthink593]

Sounds good

[@ocareletsplay797]
