(2:10) Note that, just because the background is the same as the Dreamland stage has now, doesn't mean that was the background used during testing. It can mean the testing stage is simply reading the same file as the Dreamland stage for the background, and the background can have been replaced after completing the final Dreamland stage, which would also change the background for all testing stages that is using the same file.

A bit of a correction: "Dragon King" is meant to be "Ryuo," as it's named after an actual place in Japan.

[@mattwo7]

It's Ryūō or Ryuuou/Ryuuoh ( 龍王, 竜王). It's also the name of a shogi tournament and does in fact translate to "dragon king" so this isn't even a correction.

[@mattwo7]

@@Liggliluff Considering it's a US city, I could only imagine the British, one of their other former colonies or current territories (that used to be _called_ colonies but rebranded even though they're basically the same thing) calling it The Angels and even then LA is _probably_ well enough known around the world that no one would translate it to "The Angels" or any other language really. Maybe a more obscure city like [San Buena]Ventura (which is actually named after Saint Bonaventure, an Italian name that means good life, good fortune, Ventura itself translating to "fortune" but considering what Bonaventure was patron saint of, I'd say ironically, he's not that lucky at all...). There's also a city near LA generically named El Segundo (The Second) which was named because it was the site of the second Standard Oil refinery on the west coast, that's probably a lot closer to Ryūō than LA or Ventura all things considered, albeit far more of a generic name as "ryūō" _probably_ doesn't come up as often in non-shogi-related casual conversation as "el segundo".

Think like what Banjo & Kazooie or Duck Hunt does except the characters are next to each other at all times rather than on top of each other.

So many characters were scrapped in Melee for being Japan exclusive but……Marth was Japan exclusive, and Roy technically still is Japan exclusive?

[@WolfDB]

Well the original plan was to make them exclusive to the Japanese version of the game, but since Roy's game was going to be released shortly after, the plan was to use Melee to advertise the series, as they had planned to make Binding Blade the first Fire Emblem game of the series. Ultimately, Roy's game never made it out of Japan, but the popularity of Marth and Roy did make them release Blazing Sword to the West as simply "Fire Emblem"

[@ElFreakinCid]

Sakurai didn't actually want Roy in Melee, but the company president insisted on it as a way of advertising the newest Fire Emblem game.

[@SandwitchZebra]

@@WolfDB So odd how we went from that to Fire Emblem finally getting a worldwide simultaneous release with Three Houses

11:14 having played Yoshi's Story I can tell you that those things are just switches on a path. The path, the dotted line, is a path a lot of different things, but usually platforms, would fly along. And those switches would redirect said platforms. You can see the L shape on the light brown base, that's where the path would be redirected. The lever with the red ball at the end would need to be hit to rotate the light brown base.

No source I can find states this, Nintendo has exclusively referred to the character as a man, and I'm pretty sure this would be a much bigger deal if it were true.

@@ElFreakinCid So a couple years ago, I got this information from someone in the comments section of the remix of Mach Rider’s theme from Melee. I guess from what you have said, they weren’t telling the truth. I’ve played Mach Rider(still own it),and never thought the character looked feminine. Thanks for clarifying that they are actually male and masculine! By the way, what’s VS Mach Rider like?

[@ElFreakinCid]

@@soraandkairi1194 Vs Mach Rider was a Japan-exclusive arcade version of the game with a few differences, iirc, one being that as you progress, Mach Rider inexplicably starts looking more feminine until finally you have a skimpily dressed woman standing by his bike.

[@NezuChan]

I had the official Melee guide and Ditto was in it. I always wondered why I never saw it in regular gameplay. Must have been cut pretty late in development.

[@Daniel_Coffman]

What helped regular Twilight Princess Shiek get in is that there was a concept for Twilight Princess Shiek's design in the first place, but I don't know if there's ever been any for a "Toon Shiek" or not. Also calling Tetra "Toon Shiek" would really only make sense if she was ever actually called Shiek in any internal files for any of the toon games. And about Piranha Plant's internal name, in the Mario series, the Piranha Plant species is literally called "Pakkun/Packun Flower" in the Japanese version. This is also most definitely why Bowser gives Peach a bouquet of small Piranha Plants; not just as a comedic and totally Bowser-like touch, but also because they literally are a form of flower.

[@Liggliluff]

It's funny when these KZbinrs forget that Smash is a Japanese game. Just random moments they can't connect that a random spelling of a name might be because it's in Japanese. He's otherwise fairly got at this stuff and most of the video is great

[@ElFreakinCid]

I mean, when you think about it, Incineroar is easier to make a completely unique moveset for, it's literally a pro wrestling heel, making it perfect for a fighting game, and Decidueye had just recently been in Pokken while Incineroar hadn't.

[@MG64OdysseyProductions]

27:03 or maybe it meant that pokemon trainer would be playable (like the smash attacks would have a pokemon come out for a few seconds (That actually sounds kinda cool))

[@silent_4654]

Referring to the smash ultimate section here: The image featuring the flaming smash ball with Pit, Fox, and Incineroar is used in the online menus for Nintendo’s occasional ingame tournament qualifiers. I believe the second image is also used in the online menu as well, in the space where banners are placed to notify you about online events, such as event tourneys and the like. Also for the sans hat, I believe the unused emission texture is “used” by the game. But since the meshes for the glowing eye were deleted it’s not easy to tell visually. Iirc parameters for the emission texture are still present in the model.numatb file for the Mii hat, which makes them give or take half unused.

Wasn't it confirmed Captain Falcon's VA, Ryō Horikawa, hasn't recorded any new dialoged since Smash 64 (aside from the Min Min trailer) and they've all been the same ones since? That "Come on, Blue Falcon!" sounds exactly the same but without the dramatic filter. Also, everyone seems to ignore the fact battle damage was given to one character, Little Mac.

[@ElFreakinCid]

Yeah, every time his dialogue has sounded different, it's because they were using alternate takes he'd recorded years ago. That explains why he actually forgot how to do Falcon's voice and would often substitute his Vegeta voice when asked to do Falcon lines at conventions. Another interesting fact is that Hikaru Midorikawa didn't record any new Marth dialogue until Ultimate, although he'd wanted to do rerecordings for Smash 4 because he was older now and so was Marth, and he wanted to have the dialogue and the sound of his voice better reflect Marth's character development and aging and match how he now sounded in the recent Fire Emblem games, but by the time he asked Sakurai about it, he was a bit too late.

[@RockyTheThird]

Im a brawl modder and love the game to death, here's a couple things I think about. In the Japanese version of the game Mystery of the Emblem and Earthbound were masterpieces but taken out for the american release. (Pretty sure those were the two). Code for mii usage does exist within brawl, it's used for the online mode and the theory about the mii character slot does not seem as far fetched to me and couldve been possible. Im actually curious about the falchion cracked bit. As far as my FE knowledge goes the blade itself is unbreakable and only the handle/hilts have broken on it with the sword being reforged after. I gotta look through that again. The most interesting thing though, that isnt well known is the history of the Onett stage. Many textures on that stage comes from earthbound 64. Things like the weathervane, sign, etc. Are the same textures that appeared in the E3 video and promotional material for EB64. This all makes sense though. Remember it being said Lucas was supposed to be in Melee to replace Ness but Ness was added back instead? My theory is Onett is actually a repurposed Lucas EB64 stage. It makes sense as to why it looks nothing like onett and the reuse of assets. Just my hot take.

[@Liggliluff]

(35:00) Isn't packun the Japanese name for the species, and therefore no reference between the piranha plant fighter and the boss character is made.

[@indigofenix00]

When you brought up the Dr. Mario Viruses, I thought for a moment that you were going to say they were considered as a playable character. This made me realize just how neat of a character concept they could be, incorporating puzzle game mechanics into their moveset. They could fight as a single 3-part character and the color of the viruses that make them up could vary based on the moves they used, and getting all 3 of the same color together would give them a power boost...

As an additional note, the Fire Attack censoring isn't even new to Ultimate; the version of the Fire Attack game itself in Game & Watch Gallery 4 had the enemies changed to featherless bandits in the same way.

I wish we got the original version of Melee Yoshi's Island. It seemed huge! Like 75m from Brawl or Great Cave Offensive from Smash 4 but actually fun!

[@js739]

11:15 The dotted lines are almost definitely paths that the platforms moved along; Those cog things are definitely route-changers that rotate when the red levers are hit. The platforms would probably enter from off stage and, if you rotate that top cog 90 deg anti-clockwise, they would keep moving up and down until someone hits one of the levers. I bet that it was dropped for being unsatisfying, since the levers were probably hit too often (being on the route), but if there were lines that continue up-and-over the stage it could be very fun (or even better, a rainbow ride style map where you alter the course of the track by hitting switches!!). I imagine fuzzys also spawned on those tracks, and would get trapped in the same way.

A few extra tidbits. 1.

Iirc, dataminers were able to discover that the unused sans eye texture was actually meant to be used whenever sans landed a perfect parry. I think modders were even able to reimpliment that.

i find it a bit weird to not mention that the master giant, beast, edge, and fortress did have portraits used in the 3ds version, still, the fact theres a portrait for the master fortress, a form of the master core entirely unique to the wii u version is neat also im so sad the master core and smash run were only used in smash 4 because both of those were cool as shit

42:08 Incineroar my favorite Smash Character

[@norahendrix3283]

I haven't watched yet but I'm sure this one will also be great :D

[@mattwo7]

42:10 I only really know about Ricter because of the meme. Simon I heard about every now and then, especially with Ca- er... Forget I said anything. Isn't that right, Mega Man, Roll, Dr. Light, Wily, King Hippo, Eggplant Wizard, Pit, DK, Dracula, Alucard, Ganondorf, Link, Zelda, Dragonlord, Medusa, Malkil, Bayou Billy and Mother Brain?

They really need to put you on Did you know Gaming

[@doorbox788]

am i the only one who thinks it’s a crime that blaziken isn’t the gen 3 pokemon rep in smash?

[@ajtriforcegamerofhyrule8538]

It's a serious crime

[@PaulApollo]

29:23 I feel so bad for laughing at this one specifically.

[@kyocallscats]

you should start making smash ultimate mods videos just like you did back in smash 4

[@waffletop1018]

I think Olimar was planned for melee

31:51 This hurts me so much cuz Kirby’s Epic Yarn is one of my favourite video games of all time and I can definitively say I was better off not knowing this.

[@SuperflyMiceguy]

“Characters being passed over as players might find them unfamiliar” is exactly why these characters SHOULD be put into Smash games. I don’t think many people would’ve know what Fire Emblem or Earthbound was without being introduced to them in Smash first! So what I’m ultimately saying is… Klonoa for Sm6sh!

I’m so sad toon sheik isn’t playable

[@BenChaverin]

This is an amazing video

[@reeceharris1782]

48:42 It's interesting that the devs thought of this, but didn't bother to change Robin's final smash.

[@Happy_spider_boi]

15:15 like they didn't do that before

[@ShizBliz10]

Fun Fact: that image That has Fox, Pit, and Incineroar is used for the Smash Official Tourneys (I might’ve Pronounced that wrong) preview Image

[@gyroninjamodder]

22:30 I have doubts about that mai meaning 毎 (every) 1. 毎 is a prefix where here it is a suffix 2. 毎 can't be used on objects. It's like every time. eg. Every day, every night, every month, every winter, etc. An object isn't something that happens multiple times.

I’ve been waiting for this since Sora’s reveal

[@LuckysExposed]

Let Our Boy Geno Into Smash!

[@julianx2rl]

Are we completely certain that the Viruses were planned as a boss? I mean, yeah, there's the jpeg, but that's just a picture of their throphy, which are used in the throphy horde. Maybe it was just a placeholder?

i love being in 2019
