Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - Origin of Piranha Plant Moves & Animations

[@Me-re2jd]

Never thought that Piranha Plant would have so much moveset inspiration, or that he would be a fighter in general

[@mangogearsolid]

Its kinda sad to think that Piranha Plants moveset is more faithful to the plants in the Mario games than Ganondorfs moveset is to his own boss fights.

[@flaco3462]

actually its more obvious considering how easy itd be to give a character whos been in so many games to have so many moves and smash is known for taking little things and managing to put them in (except for the several instances that it didnt do that) and pirahna plant is as common as game and watch so its actually completely expected and not suprising except for shock value

Lol so true, Ganondorf is just a clone of Captain Falcon in the Smash Bros series which is really idiotic and lame. Ganondorf has his own unique dark magic powers and a sword, it never made zero sense that in Smash he was made to be a clone of a character from a completely different series.

Ganondorf was added, like, a month before release to try and fit as much as they could into the game. They didnt create a new moveset for him because it would have been too time consuming. 3. Sakurai isnt an idiot. He created this series, and has been working on it pretty much non-stop for almost 20 years.

I think the blue recolor looks more like the Frost Piranha. That makes 2 colorations from the RPGs, I want to also credit the Pale Piranha but I'm pretty sure Nintendo didn't intend the Ink Piranha to reference that, and the main series always takes priority with references so bleh. But I'm glad the RPGs get some official love with the palettes at least, if only we could get a more obvious one like Mr. L, Dark Bowser or Shadow Queen as an alt. This is a good start though, hoping for a full-on RPG rep like Geno, Paper Mario or Fawful either as DLC or in the next game.

Yeah Paper Mario would be amazing for me !

[@MadMax-ii8gq]

No, I won't fight you because I agree with you. I love Paper Mario games especially Paper Mario The thousand Year Door being one of my favorite games all of time. I don't care about Geno at all because I have never even played Super Mario RPG.

[@zackrose6261]

@Bleep Blop Yea, his recover would literally be him turning into a paper airplane. owo And just imagine him summoning some of his partners to attack with his specials.

[@sniperheadmcchickennugget3531]

Thank you for being short and to the point in this video. Gamexplain did their whack ass way of doing it and spent twice as long saying the exact same thing for the ad revenue. I genuinely appreciate that you didn’t stretch it out.

[@felixramonarmeroperez1245]

I think that a better Final Smash for the piranha plant would be turning into the Naval Piranha from Yoshi´s Island and then beat the crap out of your opponents like Giga Bowser does, or better, the fiery one from Paper Mario. In order to make this even more awesome, Kamek could appear to enlarge the piranha plant.

[@Caosespacial257]

Yeaah, that would have been cool

[@Barbcontornoyoga]

I’m sad shadow isn’t in the game but Piranha plant makes up for it I love how you just took your time to research for us fans!

[@saucebou1069]

Sakurai is a wise man. Instead of giving things we want but we don't need (geno) he gives us things we don't want but we need (piranha plant)

[@seabassthegamer6644]

This is especially big because Sakurai also wants Geno. Good for him, overcoming temptation. Or Square was being uncooperative again.

[@elijahmuller5041]

Seabass the Gamer Or saving him for DLC, you know, to increase DLC sales.

[@jasonbing5824]

The almighty DDD pose lol how would some boring dead irrelevant Mario character in only one game from 23 years ago increase sales??? Nobody besides neckbeards would know who the hell he is or want to play him. He’d be a terrible choice.

[@juanluisgameplays7797]

Amazing, great job bro

[@MikeDaddy]

How does he not have any fire moves?

[@christopherwallace7903]

Mike-Daddy Probably because it’s too generic and unoriginal

[@megablueflash1816]

His back air is the closest thing we got...

[@JZJ7777]

Back air is the closest. Fire moves are also really unoriginal.

[@catcraze8673]

I noticed how in the Direct that some of the piranha plant skins were based off of TTYD. I guess Nintendo finally acknowledges the old Paper Mario games for once in a blue moon.

Michael Geier well people want waluigi so I guess so

[@elijahmuller5041]

This is so sad, Alexa play T series diss track

[@Hugo_E-mad]

Really good video. The light-blue skin could also be from the ice-pirahna plant in Paper mario, or pm: ttyd.

[@DallasATrain7]

I disagree on the origin of the blue one.

[@Caosespacial257]

me too

[@KingFamppam]

Not me he looked it up

[@angelzavala2254]

I knew all of this already, I'm really good at trivia. :)

[@Cannondorf64]

Pls stop bulling piranha plant

[@mattsodano6264]

Waluigi Time Piranha Plant doesn't belong in Smash.

[@chairman_quartz8402]

@@mattsodano6264 you say that, yet he got in, this is a sigh that, if Sakurai wants them in game, then he will put them in the game.

[@MadMax-ii8gq]

@@mattsodano6264 Too bad fool, he got in. Deal with it.

[@elijahmuller5041]

Quartz Stone Aside from geno, which Sakurai does want, but hasn’t added yet (probably licensing issues with square or dlc)

[@jasonbing5824]

Matt Sodano but Geno does?

[@ColonelMustache]

Nice to finally see some Paper Mario representation! Honestly, I wish the gray costume came with a monochrome stem too, so you could play as a Pale Piranha.

[@GameBoyBlueATGMAIL]

Great video NU!

[@Dejones95]

This is pretty cool dude very interesting and awesome 😎

[@lagialugia5272]

so much nostalgia with paper mario,i played before the smash direct,so it was also a surprise when i saw Shadow Queen as spirit

[@koopa12345678910]

Awesome video. Lets also note that Nintendo noticed paper mario. (One of the good ones)
