I know right? The soundtrack playing during the battle with Medusa is even labelled "Medusa's Final Battle" in a wonderful use of exact words. Yeah it is Medusa's Final Battle...but not ours.
This is one of my favorite villain introduction scenes ever. It's comedic, it's intimidating, and it sets the tone for the rest of the game. Also, Hades is revealed to be the true villain halfway through, so there's plenty of time to enjoy him as a character (which is good, because he's the best character in the game).
I love this guy. I was a convention and I saw some guy cosplaying as pit and I just walked up to him and said "Well Pitty Pat glad you could make it". He just shouted HADES at me.
And finally. Time for awards. Best villain intro goes to: Hades Best villain goes to: Hades Troll villain goes to: Hades Best humor goes to: Hades Best attempt at building a fourth wall: VIRIDI! *Hades eyes start to burn and he clenches his fists* ...I mean Hades!
The sheer panic in Palutena’s voice when Hades mentions making another Medusa can show just how much of a threat Hades is making a fake that’s so strong it was considered “the final boss”
"Add a pinch of memories to a tons of soul. Put them in a blender, and hit frappe!" There's something about the way Hades talk that I will never get enough of. Also, you would think that this is a dead giveaway to Hades' ability to mold souls into being rather than it being revealed in chapter 22. And the timing Palutena's reacting to "Next to me, Medusa's going to look like a sweet, cuddly bunny." line keeps making me think that she fears Medusa's literally turning into a rabbit XD
@@solbadguy9025 He sounds like he's throwing a touch of Tim Curry in there. That means that Hades is going to the ONE PLACE that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism................... SSSSSSPAAAAAYYYYCE!!!
I like how he blatantly states that he's using souls which is super low even for him and it passes over everyone's heads until they go down into the Underworld
@@marmarmarsmarsme too! 11 year old me was like “THATS THE WHOLE GAME! This can’t be it, right?”, and boy was I proven right in the best possible way 😂
+Doctor4077 What if they were one and the same? **THE SPOILS** At the end of the game, Hades eventually grows his head back and has a blue head with blue flaming hair
I was about 10 when I played this masterpiece on my launch day 3DS, and when Hades ripped off the credits, I was absolutely shocked with me saying, "WhaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAATTT!!??!?!?!?!?" during a car ride, and because my family was following along in the story, they asked me, "What happened??" And I shouted, "HADES WAS BEHIND IT ALL ALONG!!" and they gave the same reaction Good times
I usually don't say this, but I really wish he was in Smash, or at least in some of the Palutena's temple easter eggs. He's solidified as one of my favorite video game villains because of how so much fun he is as a character.
And it was at this moment that a fun, enjoyable game revealed itself as a hilarious, unique masterpiece. These fake end credits are one heck of a twist for probably one of the funniest Nintendo villains ever created!
When I played Kid Icarus Uprising when I defeated Medusa I was so happy I finally beat a game for the 4th time in gaming then heard Hades. My jaw got down and I was like NOOOO why Hades why?!?!?!?!
You know how in a lot of games they start with an amazing villain for the story but then about halfway through or near the end of the story mode, they kill off that villain and replace them with a villain that's mediocre at best? Well this... Is the exact opposite. Props to you Kid Icarus. No but seriously when is the next game coming out. I want more stuff as shocking and awesome as this.
They just need to give Ganondorf his own badass moveset and I can jave my dream fight Ganondorf vs Hades vs Bowser. Of course Hades would win but ut would be cool to watch
No no no I don't want Demise anywhere near Super Smash. I don't want him as a character, not as an assist trophy, normal trophy or a sticker or mentioned anywhere in Smash. Demise is the most bland, boring by the number villain so generic its painful to watch and Mijamoto should be ashamed to let such abomination appear in a Zelda game.
Even after all these years, ALL THESE YEARS, his voice actor remains 100% unmatched. Without sounding deep, he NAILS the malevolent voice without contest. It's truly astonishing to me. Though I am obsessed with Rick Wasserman's voice acting for Amon in Starcraft 2 Wings of Liberty, Stuart Scott Bullock with his voice of Hades is thE greatest I have ever heard for the rendition of the primary antagonist.
I played this game from my brother’s 3DS and I went in completely blind. All I've seen of this game before was Chuggaaconroy’s playthrough of chapter 20. Once I got to this point, I knew there was more to the game (though I didn't specifically know what), and I think I figured we’d be looking for Dark Pit. But then Hades came outta nowhere and said screw you.
I'll admit, this got me the first I played this game.
Subspace King same i though i beat the game too
Nintendo did a good job keeping everything past Medusa a secret during advertising.
I din't because i got the game in 2017 and i already knew that hades was gonna be in the game
I know right? The soundtrack playing during the battle with Medusa is even labelled "Medusa's Final Battle" in a wonderful use of exact words. Yeah it is Medusa's Final Battle...but not ours.
Jacob well. Wrong. It’s named in game boss battle 2
And no one voted for him in the smash ballot because?
Sakurei said there will be no sequel to uprising
And he said the same thing after brawl, that he not gonna make anymore smash bros
With smash bros there was a massive cry for a new game you don't see people crying for a new kid iecures game
+Tds 142 Um yes you do. And it's spelt *Icarus :P
+Tds 142 yes i noticed
"You thought the final boss was medusa, but it was I, Hades!"
YOU FELL FOR IT, FOOL! HELLFIRE CROSS SPLIT ATTACK!
"You were expecting the credits, but it was me, Hades!"
Are those JoJokes?
Ferdinand Von Aegir Yep. Did you know Ferdinand, that you share your voice with a JBA character yourself?
Kono Hades da!
This is one of my favorite villain introduction scenes ever. It's comedic, it's intimidating, and it sets the tone for the rest of the game. Also, Hades is revealed to be the true villain halfway through, so there's plenty of time to enjoy him as a character (which is good, because he's the best character in the game).
Not even half way. More like a third.
Seems quite reminiscent of the James Woods version. 🤔
@@minicle426 glad I’m not the only who thought this 😂
I love this guy. I was a convention and I saw some guy cosplaying as pit and I just walked up to him and said "Well Pitty Pat glad you could make it". He just shouted HADES at me.
I know I'm 5 years late, but you should've shouted "Pit!" back at him.
"Hades!"
"Pit!"
"Haaaadeeeeeeeees!"
"Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!"
"IT'S ON!"
The game was really good before, but after Hades (and Viridi appear), I think it becomes freaking great.
Too bad I played Smash before playing this, so I actually knew the game wasn't over.
Hades for president 2018
8 chapters in the game would've had people feeling robbed anyway. it's a false ending for sure
Well that was short
*hades appears*
Talk about an entrance
Hades attacking the credits. Now THAT is breaking the fourth wall.
Not really
The old years were truly golden if he came to exist
In this game there is no fourth wall, they do whatever they want and its amazing
Nah the 4th wall had already buried itself. That was the 16th wall.
Kid 8carus doesn't have a fourth wall it got raped into oblivion
And finally. Time for awards.
Best villain intro goes to: Hades
Best villain goes to: Hades
Troll villain goes to: Hades
Best humor goes to: Hades
Best attempt at building a fourth wall: VIRIDI!
*Hades eyes start to burn and he clenches his fists*
...I mean Hades!
Yes 4 Awards :D
VOTE FOR HADES TO FIGHT IN SMASH
Both this Hades and Hercules Hades are the best versions of Hades.
AlecOPedia
Hercules is old news
We must look towards the future
The true best character: hades
Yes I'm the 666th like.
"goodness you should put this on your resume"
That's the line that made me love his character
So charmingly and hilariously sarcastic and witty.
You just HAVE to love Hades.
Austin Sinclair and bowser warp from space and time by doing the same thing of just a bad time for JOE DARK META KNIGHT
Austin Sinclair He ruined the perfect ending. You're FREAKING blind!!!
He’s my favorite video game villain for a reason
@@autobotrenegade8601 how did he ruin the ending? After all in mythology, hades is the true leader of the underworld.
Exactly he has the best lines of any character
One of the best plot twists I've seen in a game.
It's really obvious when you think about it
FDN it was still fun
FDN, its obvious when you look back, but i am 90% sure that you didn’t expect it on the first run (unless you watched a play through beforehand.)
@Pesky Plumber when?
@@naturalLog26 idk about thanatos but medusa kind of hints at it at one point when she says that she doesn’t know how she came back to life
You know things will get crazy when the credits to the NES Kid Icarus plays and Hades comes in to rip it apart.
The sheer panic in Palutena’s voice when Hades mentions making another Medusa can show just how much of a threat Hades is making a fake that’s so strong it was considered “the final boss”
This is the point in the game where it got awesome.
+Retro Hero 276 Fancy meeting you here.
The Goldsmith Great meeting you too
This was actually the only game that a plot twist actually surprised me OTHER THAN WHEATLY BECOMING EVIL IN PORTAL 2
"Add a pinch of memories to a tons of soul. Put them in a blender, and hit frappe!"
There's something about the way Hades talk that I will never get enough of.
Also, you would think that this is a dead giveaway to Hades' ability to mold souls into being rather than it being revealed in chapter 22.
And the timing Palutena's reacting to "Next to me, Medusa's going to look like a sweet, cuddly bunny." line keeps making me think that she fears Medusa's literally turning into a rabbit XD
For some reason he sounds to have a British accent. Hope I'm not the only one who hears like that.
@@solbadguy9025 He sounds like he's throwing a touch of Tim Curry in there. That means that Hades is going to the ONE PLACE that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism................... SSSSSSPAAAAAYYYYCE!!!
I like how he blatantly states that he's using souls which is super low even for him and it passes over everyone's heads until they go down into the Underworld
I mean, I honestly don't know how anyone could NOT have expected a plot twist here.
That said, holy mother of Palutena, this is so well done.
Well I found out about it on the internet long before I thought about getting the game.
When I first played it and the credits started to roll, I seriously murmured to myself "I mean it was nice but why was it so short?"
But Why I think you got your answer
Your profile picture is Tharja from Fire Emblem
@@marmarmarsmarsme too! 11 year old me was like “THATS THE WHOLE GAME! This can’t be it, right?”, and boy was I proven right in the best possible way 😂
Oh thats it? Huh, well that was shor-WHAT THE FRICK?!
Me af
WHAT DA TWIST!!! (Hades is as charming as Wario, in other words, NOT)
I just saw your profile pick, and now I want team 4star to do a cell vs hades. That will be perfect
Oh it’s like a book
It’s only just begun
Thought you completed Kid Icarus? NOPE! Just Hades!
You mad pitty-pat?!
Hades is my favorite character!! He is hilarious!!
He tears the credits like "F*ck you, credits. This game isn't over until I say it is."
NoCryinRyan making him epic and hilarious
You thought you were going to fight hades, but it was me Dio!
My first reacion to this was: SEQUEL CONFIRMED...but then the game continues, and i got a happy Face
HADES Y U NO GIVE US GUDD ENDINGS
Raise your hand if you want a Kid Icarus game on the Switch and Hades in Smash. 🙋
Sakurai : "Everyone is here"
"Now wait just a second"
Me: “DAMN THIS GAME WAS GOOD. Too bad it was kinda short.”
Game: “Oh, you’re in for more.”
Me: “YEEEEES.”
Hades one of the best antagonist i've ever seen, such a complete character!
Best and the hilarious vilan ever
I whant him in ultimate hi is my favorite character of all time
Hades has to be one of the best villains in video game history. His charm is addictive
I like how S. Scott Bullock sounds like he's trying to do his best Tim Curry impression.
So Pit, do you have any tattoos?
The BEST introduction of a game villain since Frank Fontaine (BioShock).
Would you kindly
Someone spoiled this for me, literally the day I got to the 9th mission.
I was furious.
i cry for u, my friend
Rip
Thats the fattest F ive heard in a while
Okay this actually got me and I was like “oh does this mean a secret tenth chapter?”
.....little did I know this game has 25 total chapters.
Zeus violates mortal women = Good guy.
Poseidon violates mortal women = Good guy.
Hades rules the underworld = Bad guy.
"Add a pinch of memories to a ton of souls. Put them in a blender, and hit frappe."
Best villainous quote ever. 10/10
-Alcatraz JYH
Me: "Well ,their laugh is awefully long and awkward..."
"Now, wait just a minute..."
Me: "Oooooh..."
Medusa: I f**king hate you!
Hades: I knew.
You know what would be awesome? A kingdom of hearts game where THIS Hades meets up and works with the Hades of Disney's Hercules. IT WOULD BE PERFECT!
Doctor4077 I don't think anything would be able to handle the awesomeness.
YES!!!
I'd pay good money to see this
+Doctor4077 or this Hades overthrows the Disney Hades
+Doctor4077 What if they were one and the same?
**THE SPOILS**
At the end of the game, Hades eventually grows his head back and has a blue head with blue flaming hair
I was about 10 when I played this masterpiece on my launch day 3DS, and when Hades ripped off the credits, I was absolutely shocked with me saying, "WhaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAATTT!!??!?!?!?!?" during a car ride, and because my family was following along in the story, they asked me, "What happened??" And I shouted, "HADES WAS BEHIND IT ALL ALONG!!" and they gave the same reaction
Good times
Awwwh that's honestly so wholesome that they were invested in the game with you
3 years
3 weeks
And soon 3 days
Nah, there is no chance to have
3 years - 3 months - 3 weeks -3 days
……3 years ? I feel like being ring……
I usually don't say this, but I really wish he was in Smash, or at least in some of the Palutena's temple easter eggs. He's solidified as one of my favorite video game villains because of how so much fun he is as a character.
Good news, in Smash Ultimate, he's a spirit!
Imagine a stage transition that's just him ripping away the previous stage
Hades is a hilarious and likeable villain. But he’s still cold and callous.
Ah the fourth wall this game doesn't have 😂😂😂😂
Jayden_W yep
Jayden_W Yeah, cause hades ripped it like paper
Probably the best introduction of a villain ever in any game
Imagine a direct ending like this
Welp, people will ready up the "react" compilation, shame we will have to wait
It's official, Kid Icarus is the best 4-wall breaking game, gotta have it
Hades God of underworld and most likely evil,as well as master of trolls.BEST ENDING EVER
+Brandon Harris But (not to be cliche) this was only the beginning!
"You were expecting the credits, but it was me, Hades!"
Hades had an amazing voice actor. Suited him perfectly
the game before: Scary intimidating devil man with threatening music playing in the background
the game afterwards: ayy check out this loot tho
Just imagine this Hades in the same room as Hades from Disney's Hercules.
A S C E N D E D
A sacred sight of the gods of the unholy
Damn Hades, you literally just broke the fourth wall.
+Melissa Kline There is not really a fourth wall in this entire game.
Well, he ripped to shreds whatever flimsy fourth wall the game might have had
this game had no fourth wall in the first place
NOW THIS IS WHAT I CALL BREAKING THE 4TH WALL!!!!
amazing
+athena christine-dorsey What does breaking the 4th wall means? Sorry I'm new for that one.
+Noah Compher I'm not completely sure about the full term either, but I think it's the wall that separates fictional from reality.
+athena christine-dorsey 4th wall? *What* 4th wall? XD I don't think Nintendo even bothered with one in Uprising, haha.
And it was at this moment that a fun, enjoyable game revealed itself as a hilarious, unique masterpiece. These fake end credits are one heck of a twist for probably one of the funniest Nintendo villains ever created!
Man...I'd love Hades in next smash bros. He has so much potetntial, great villian in my humble opinion
*They had us in ths first half, not gonna lie.*
The second most iconic hades
Medusa: 2016
Hades: 2020
2:08
I still love that his expression here is just "damn, I respect it."
Hades for president 2016
Can't tell if I want Hades
or Trump ;)
+Orthodoxical Knave Hades has better hair.
lookslikedekulink Hades yeah he does. >:D
;) I-it was a pun
Hades
Hell
;)
;( End my suffering...
***** Speak of the devils! Trump was elected President. :)
(canadian emigration site crashed, too)
(he wants us to suffer)
"Crooked Medusa, all she does is send out fake news to distract us from reality."
And the award for best plot twist villain goes to...
Every scene with hades is a riot.
When you see that Masahiro Sakurai directed a game, you should expect something like this.
Please make this the final smash ultimate reveal
Hades gets the party started!
Sad
i got mind blown the first time i did this
"Add a pinch of memories to a ton of souls. Put them in a blender and hit frappé !" Now you just killed me, Hades ! XD
Tbh he sounded like he was rapping there for a moment when he said that
i love this cause he really did make medusa look like a cuddly bunny
HAPPY
AMAZING
DESTRUCTIVE
ENORMOUS
SUPERB
0:12 "Master Hades, I don't feel so good."
Sakurai sure knows how to troll people😂
BEST TROLL IN VIDEOGAMES.
When I played Kid Icarus Uprising when I defeated Medusa I was so happy I finally beat a game for the 4th time in gaming then heard Hades. My jaw got down and I was like NOOOO why Hades why?!?!?!?!
Pit: Finally! Medusa is finally dead, and everyone can be safe now!!
Hades: *THAT’S WHERE YOU’RE WRONG KIDDO*
"Add a pinch if memories to a ton of souls and hit frappé!"
Gamer: That it? Wow. That was quick.
Hades: I’m gonna ruin your party with slaughter.
Best character in the game.
"Add a pinch of memories to a ton of souls. Put them in a blender, and hit frappe!" I'm weak
Hades really sounds like Tim curry
I was shocked too the first time I saw this. Hades made for a great villain.
1:01/1:03 omg i love this part 😍❤️❤️❤️
and this is why hades is my favorite character
Hades has big Tim Curry energy
Hades is one of my favorite bosses of all time
The Prince of Darkness from Ridley Scott's Legend + Disney's Hades= Kid Icarus's Hades
"Let's get this party started!" The party will only be truly started when this boy is in Smash.
You know how in a lot of games they start with an amazing villain for the story but then about halfway through or near the end of the story mode, they kill off that villain and replace them with a villain that's mediocre at best?
Well this...
Is the exact opposite. Props to you Kid Icarus.
No but seriously when is the next game coming out. I want more stuff as shocking and awesome as this.
And thats why we need hades in SMB4
I heard he's going to be in it
They just need to give Ganondorf his own badass moveset and I can jave my dream fight Ganondorf vs Hades vs Bowser. Of course Hades would win but ut would be cool to watch
Krauser Cruz they would need the best nintendo villians; mewtwo, demise (old ganondorf), bone bowser, and hades.
No no no I don't want Demise anywhere near Super Smash. I don't want him as a character, not as an assist trophy, normal trophy or a sticker or mentioned anywhere in Smash.
Demise is the most bland, boring by the number villain so generic its painful to watch and Mijamoto should be ashamed to let such abomination appear in a Zelda game.
I mean like when ganondorf turns all scary at the end of that game Krauser Cruz
Even after all these years, ALL THESE YEARS, his voice actor remains 100% unmatched. Without sounding deep, he NAILS the malevolent voice without contest. It's truly astonishing to me. Though I am obsessed with Rick Wasserman's voice acting for Amon in Starcraft 2 Wings of Liberty, Stuart Scott Bullock with his voice of Hades is thE greatest I have ever heard for the rendition of the primary antagonist.
Even when I first played this when I was I kid I was not stupid enough to think it would end after 9 chapters so I knew something was up
"I thought I saved the world. But instead, all I got was this club that looks like a skyscraper..."
He's so... flamboyant.
And that's why Hades is the best boss ever.
A legend was born.
God, this is just so well done. Hades fucking rules.
I played this game from my brother’s 3DS and I went in completely blind. All I've seen of this game before was Chuggaaconroy’s playthrough of chapter 20. Once I got to this point, I knew there was more to the game (though I didn't specifically know what), and I think I figured we’d be looking for Dark Pit.
But then Hades came outta nowhere and said screw you.
When you realize hades is just a imitation of Tim curry voice
The exact moment Uprising turned out to be that much more.
One of the most severely underrated games
His boss fight is one of the best I’ve played in a while
Palutena: Hades?!
Pit: Who's Hades?
Me: Pit, YOU DON'T KNOW??
Mr. Stark... I don’t feel so good
poor medusa getting snapped
when hades was reveled I thought this is for the sequel so I was surprise when there a new level unlocked and I was like "IT STILL GOING!?"
He puts James Wood's performance in Disney's Hercules to complete shame.
