Yeah, but as far as I'm concerned there's no way Nintendo is leaving it at that with such a big-time moneymaker.

@@MrInvaderOhYeah Sakurai in his Famitsu Column came out stating Sora and Banjo were the 2 most requested fighters. He admitted that Banjo took the #2 spot in the ballot
@@Red_MOON187 Kingdom hearts was PS2, if I remember correctly. Sonic and Mario were rivals in the SNES/Genesis days. Square made Final Fantasy games for Nintendo until the N64 where they made games (FF7-9) on the PS1 when it came out. I don't think Square hated Nintendo but they did have a falling out that lasted from around 1995 to until the 2010s.
@@Red_MOON187 Nomura was inspired by Super Mario 64, so it really comes in full circle on how Sora shakes hands with the character that played part in Kingdom Heart’s creation.
While you’re not wrong as far as how Ultimate this game feels for having all of these characters and I personally think that ending it off with Sora was extremely fitting, however, I think the way this game could’ve truly deserved the title of “Ultimate” was if they made a new Smash Bros. Brawl style Subspace Emissary story and incorporated the DLC characters to be part of the story as well, as a big update to come after all the characters released as a special surprise as a way to say, “oh you thought this was the end of the story? The story has only just begun now!” that and I think they should’ve made the roster with 100 characters instead of 89, in all honesty 100 is a number that feels way more ultimate when compared to 89, so one more DLC pack with 11 characters would’ve made this game perfect, but I would still end it with Sora either way, and I would’ve swapped Kazuya’s & Sephiroth’s placements, that way Sephiroth could’ve appeared just before Sora, as far as the 11 characters go, I would definitely want Shadow the Hedgehog, Dr. Eggman, Paper Mario, Waluigi, Dixie Kong, More Zelda Characters, Midna & Wolf Link, Demise, & Twinrova which all seem like interesting choices, also characters like Hollow Knight, Dante and Doom Slayer would all be my personal choices for 11 more characters, of course some of those choices wouldn’t have to be DLC, they could just be base roster characters, for example, Dixie Kong & Waluigi would be better as base roster characters, although I might cut the Zelda characters down to 2 characters instead of 3, that way another highly requested character that’s not from Zelda could have a chance to appear, like Crash Bandicoot as an example because I know he’s currently the most highly requested character for the next smash bros. game if there will even be one.
@@Azureblue25 Honestly that could've been better. We should've gotten a second story mode with characters interacting with eachother and fighting bosses from different games and of course story to end this game to the finale.
It's staggering. I could of done with less Fire Emblem.. As a franchise it's overly represented. Like Crash? Master Chief!? Far more worthy. But still.. Utterly staggering.
I think Steve is the only one that broke twitter out of anyone else. But seeing the 2 most requested characters (Steve and Sora) in smash is really mind blowing. Can't wait to see mashups of Steve and Sora in the near future!
I actually was hoping for Lilac from "Freedom Planet" to become playable by the time the final character was announced, but I doubt that was possible due to the fact that absolutely no one even knows about that game except for me...
We have Simon, Banjo, Joker, Steve, cloud and Sephiroth in one game, and now Sora. I think saying this is the greatest smash game ever is an understatement
@@Brandon_4272 you evidently haven't seen many toxic flame wars. Allow me to enlighten you: some melee fans can be extremely defensive over what they see as the best smash game. By saying Ultimate is the best, you're basically inviting them to come and rage at you.
@@DoctorKidemonas oh wow I didn't know that. I don't think any smash game is terrible but Ultimate was really an incredible achievement that deserves all the attention
The ending just gives me chills of Sora jumping through the world's to dash to Mario and shake his hand.showing that he will keep the fire of smash a live a bit longer, and Mario thanking him and greeting him
Fear's awake, anger beats loud, face reality Never beat charity The enemy you're fighting covers all society *Damn right* Mommy's not here, gotta fight *All night*
@@saikobanters4323 idk man. Having every single character in smash,then ending with the most requested fighter shaking hands with Mario in front of the others makes it seem that way
Let’s just take a moment.. look back to when Melee was out and Brawl had first been advertised.. if you told us then that this would be the roster in Super Smash Bros. We would have assumed it was fake, but look at this now.. How real it has become
I know, it's insane. I remember when a friend and I were talking about Melee back in 2004, imagining how cool it would be if the next game, or even just a future game, had a roster of 100. Back then, we dismissed that idea as silly, cause how would you get that many fighters (we were eight and weren't aware of how many franchises there were out there. Plus we were still in the "nintendo only" mindset). Now look. Sure the final roster is 89, but that's pretty damn close (Closer if you wanna be generous with the mii fighters.) Such a large roster was inconceivable to us. If you told me back then that a smash game would have close to a hundred fighters, id say you're nuts.
Not everyone will be satisfied with this outcome of being the last reveal of Smash Ultimate but then again, it's just a game that features characters from different franchises and from different companies. If anything, the existence of Smash is one of life's greatest gifts and I will forever cherishes this in my life
The fact that Sora got into Smash is pretty incredible. Not because it will satisfy the fan base but the legal challenges, loopholes, and obstacles in order to achieve that must be insane. You have to deal with Square Enix, Sony, Nintendo, AND the largest obstacle of all in Disney.
@@vidlover69 facts. those brats need to learn the world doesn't revolve around them, I am a huge doom fan and hoped for him then the final direct made him a mii, i was disipointed but i was happy because it was better then not geting him in the game with no trace of him.
@@vidlover69 I genuinely wanted to see waluigi or chief in the game. So I hope you didn't mean me, don't get me wrong, sora is cool and I'm happy he's in, I love kingdom hearts, but (in my opinion) I don't think he was the best choice for a final character, considering the new generation of smash players and people who play games never even heard of the game.
Joker's, Sephiroth's, and Sora's reveals are my three favorites. But if I had to pick one absolute favorite, I'd go with Sephiroth. Nothing says "badass" like slicing a literal god in half, 10 seconds of silence, and then your theme song plays as you stare down at all of your future victims.
Yeah but Ultimate is still heavily based on Smash 4 hence why a lot of the work was already done and they didn't have to make everybody from scratch and could include every character ever
It feels great to end on such a high note with Sora, I’m so glad I got to experience this event in gaming, from the bottom of I think all of our hearts Sakurai thank you
To this day I can't handle how in tune the devs were with their audience. Making a joke in the Byleth trailer about "too many swordsmen" or giving Sora the "is finally here" splash title really shows they listened.
The fighter reveals for Smash Ultimate are easily one of the greatest experiences in video game history and Sakurai should be more than applauded for his excellent work on the series The Sora reveal easily hit me hardest since Kingdom Hearts is my favorite series, but the reveals for Joker, Sephiroth, Kazuya, Byleth, Pyra / Mythra, and Steve also hold a special place for me
Leaving will dream we always know Landrieu Audrey far away why don’t you download Waze and say oh who who who who who who I believe in one day in the barn working Siri who who who who who who are the other five I’ll come back home we can celebrate Christmas together as a family singing gumWelcome Drew thanking of
I like that the final trailer was nothing but a simple, beautiful celebration of how far the series has come to include the character literally everybody thought to be impossible, and yet here we are. Ultimate really managed to pull out all the stops and bring a long list of characters even the director of the game thought could never possibly work in the series into one big collaboration of gaming.
Ladies and gentlemen, it was a total pleasure to be in this trip with your all, a lot of feelings were unleashed through the presentations and this travel has ended in an amazing way. Thank you Sakurai for being the captain of the ship, thanks to everyone that was involucrated in the development and all to all the people that supports the game!!
what an insane wild ride this has been. Years ago, if anybody had said there'd be a game with Street Fighter, Tekken, MegaMan, Final Fantasy, etc all fighting it out, you would've called them crazy. This is a giant monument to video games, thank you Sakurai!
The world of light song actually fits with the sora trailer Colors weave into a spire of flame- the smash logo Distant sparks call to a past unnamed-the keyblade when its the only light left Bear this torch against the cold of the night-when Mario grabs the keyblade Search your soul and reawaken the undying light-sora
Watching all of these trailers again makes me feel like I'm experiencing them again for the first time. Like I know every single one of these fighters is in the game but I still get so excited about it when each one is revealed. There's only one game in the world that can do that to people after all its years of production.
But then we got Mario being almost killed by Sephiroth but instead being held up by the overall strap and then being thrown off during his fight with Cloud
When the is tagline 'Sora is Finally Here!' , I realised that no other character could have ended the Fighters pass better than Sora. Thank you Sakurai.
My top 5 reveal trailers goes: 5. Min Min - I'm a pretty big fan of ARMS and Min Min was probably my most played character. This was a very fun way to start off the second Fighters Pass! 4. Steve - It's fucking Steve. What else do I need to say? Minecraft has been a part of my life for a long time, so when I saw that he was going to be in Smash, I freaked out! 3. Kazuya - Tekken was my first ever fighting game and although Kazuya wasn't my main (Jin and Yoshimitsu were), I'm so damn happy Tekken got a rep! 2. Sephiroth - My God, this was THE most unexpected character. My all time favorite video game villain coming from my second favorite video game franchise! Everything about this trailer was epic, from the way Sephiroth descended into the battle just to torment poor Cloud some more, to the many Advent Children references in the cinematics! 1. Sora - Never have I ever felt much emotion towards a video game until this reveal. Kingdom Hearts is by far my most beloved video game franchise of all time and I've been wanting this character since Brawl. Everything about this trailer was just... So damn beautiful!
5 - Joker: I haven’t played persona 5, but I’d heard a ton about it, I’d seen it’s popping style, I’ve heard people wanting joker in. Additionally, his reveal trailer was sick. 4 - Piranha Plant: Come *ON* you can’t deny it was hilarious to see + Banjo-Kazooie: ITS THE BOY!!! Seeing him portrayed SO perfectly was amazing, and reusing the environment from K.Rools trailer was just perfect. 3 - Sephiroth: Very unexpected, very awesome. Also he stabs Mario. 2 - Sora: I haven’t played any Kingdom Hearts games, but they NAILED Sora’s reveal. Everything about Sora’s reveal. The music, the timing, the scenes, it was beautiful to see. Seeing SO MANY people so happy about Sora was so nice to see. 1 - Steve: I don’t think it’s possible for me to recapture my sheer joy seeing the Minecraft effects and hearing the Minecraft sounds. I genuinely cannot properly express the simple euphoria I felt seeing it transition into the minecraft world. GOD, I wish I could’ve seen the look on my face. Minecraft Steve. In Super Smash Brothers! This is actually just one big fever dream isn’t it
Absolutely amazing. Though I think Krool and Banjo were my favorites, Sora is very close. The final reveal was cinematic perfection. The music and the incredible tension leading up to Mario picking up the Keyblade. Still tear up when Simple and Clean drops. Just fantastic. What an amazing game
Steve's and Sora's reveals were the best for me, i went insane when steve was revealed cause I thought he was never gonna make it since he is a cube shaped character lol, and sora also blew me away, on how they finally managed to get him into the game
And then there was me, crying not for sora but because they wasted an occasion to add the character that would make the people happier than ever, or maybe the characters, they could've made a plot twist where they add more characters instead of a simple one (That personally I hate), but well... Piranha plant and Min min. They really like to enrage the community sometimes.
@@wariopide I get Piranha Plant, what is the problem with Min Min? Also, ending with Sora is actually the best idea, having the hero travelling and saving worlds with a key-shaped sword, connecting everything. Also Sora was also a fan favorite, it made a lot of people happy, even scrolling through the comments of this compilation, a lot of people are talking about Sora, which means he had a lot of impact to the gaming community. We were happy to see him. If you want to go on adding Waluigi - Don't get me wrong, I love this guy, but Waluigi was never an important character (To be fair, neither was Piranha Plant). He was mainly in Spin-Off Games to have a partner for Wario, and while I absolutely mained him in a lot of those spin-offs, they never included him in the Main Games. So of course he wouldn't be in Smash. I mean, let us be honest here for a second: What do we know of him except that he likes to play along and maybe is a friend of Wario? (If he was in a main-game, please name me the game, I would actually be very happy to be corrected here xD)
@@jasonlobo2350 Name them Cause there are actually a lot of characters not in ultimate, particularly indies and really obscure titles, playstation and valve owned, from greedy companies like EA and Activision, some franchises with little to none representation in japan (like mortal kombat) or outside of japan (insert exclusive japanese game here) and pretty much the entire mobile games industry (dragalia lost and angry birds) Now to be clear, despite the game lacking some characters, it is and will always be the quintessential gaming crossover EVEN IF A FUTURE GAME SURPASS IT (which i doubt it will ever happen) because if it happens then it's because Ultimate allowed it to happen since it did it first
@@jasonlobo2350 Those are actually 3 stars And I was right, two of them are from Activision (a greedy company that Microsoft bought AFTER smash ultimate ended so there was nothing to do) and the other one belongs to Ubisoft, which is just as bad as bethesda was (before it was bought by Microsoft) and also greedy
@@lucaantinori4834 youre taking greedy at fault when Nintendo literally talk to Disney(the pinnacle of greed) to have sora on board. The reality is the one sakurai said. I dont choose who gets in, the company does. Thats why we got byleth and min min instead of crash and rayman
I’ll always remember inklings reveal. It was such an obvious character to add and the fact that a new smash game was announced with it is just incredible
Its crazy to think that Sora was foreshadowed since the first Ultimate teaser. Even Lifelight hinted the outcome of the final trailer, aside of from World of Light.
While they’re not necessarily my favorite characters, I still think the Simon/Richter trailer was the best. The animation is top notch, the idea of having Luigi explore the castle with actual non-cartoony horrors was inspired, and immediately following the announcement of echo fighters as a concept, it was cool to see it implemented in a brand new franchise rep.
There are 4 that blew me away, and one of them still makes emotional to this day. Joker Banjo and Sephiroth all got me hyped since they're cool character who I was hoping for, or in Joker's case came out of left field when I was already interested in the series. And then Sora's trailer dropped, and I still get teary eyed seeing it. I played Kingdom Hearts 2 on the PS2 when I was super young, and I never beat it until recently the series has always held such a special place in my heart, and seeing Sora in Smash genuinely made me cry the First Time. Thank you Sakurai!
45:04 My favorite part of his reveal. This shot perfectly captures why Sora's so perfect for the whole concept of Smash Bros. Going right back to Kairi's message in the bottle. "There are many worlds, but they all share the same sky". Sora = sky in Japanese.
@@oklahomie95 Byleth is from Fire Emblem, a franchise that is infamous in Smash Bros. due to the amount of reps (6 full characters, 8 if you count echo fighters)
@@jaidens.g.1920 Including the fact that super mario and pokemon have the same amount even though they are more popular games. The reason for this is because no nintendo games feature too many prevalent sword fighter characters so they had to use more characters from fire emblem. Don’t know why they used byleth though
I know this might just be me, but before this game I never thought King K Rool would ever return. On that day he was announced I was left in utter shock. I mean he hadn't been in a game since Mario Super Sluggers, so he wasn't in an actual game for a decade until that direct. He was my most requested character and I got him. All the other fighters were also amazing, I hope Sakurai gets a long well deserved vacation.
The cinematics are super hype but my favourite part of these trailers is all the little jokes when they show the actual fighting movesets - like Simon cooking chicken with his fire or King K Rool showing his Up B in front of an helicopter.
The experience of Sephiroth and Sora’s trailers will never be replicated. They are insanely magical moments, especially Sora’s and using the KH1 song from the KH1 opening trailer and then seeing Sora and Mario shaking hands with the whole roster behind them was EVERYTHING!!!
I wish there was a full length video like this that went through all the trailers but it included mashup reactions from different youtubers with their reactions to each one. it would be really cool to see that progress
Personal order: 1. Pyra/Mythra (and this one is #1 by like a LOT) 2. Joker (the Game Awards version) 3. Byleth 4. Sora 5. Steve 6. Sephiroth 7. Simon/Richter 8. Hero 9. Min Min 10. Inkling 11. Isabelle 12. Banjo 13. Terry 14. Incineroar/Ken 15. Kazuya 16. Ridley 17. King K. Rool
One of the most incredible journeys of any video game ever created period. So many of the characters reveals broke the internet. Like Steve, Sephiroth, Banjo, Joker, Sora, and King K Rool. I don't think we'll ever get a video game that celebrates video game characters like this ever again. At least not to this capacity or extent. Super Smash Bros Ultimate will always go down as one of my favorite video games I've ever had the honor of playing and experiencing. Thank you so much Sakuari!
It gave me nostalgia after all the reveals I was so hyped for SSBU cuz of my friend who immediately showed me in high school of 2018. And 3 years later I was still hyped to see who would join in SSBU like Steve, Joker, Banjo and Kazooie and even Sephiroth that last made me more emotional because of a good friend of mine who always wanted him in there and he got it. And a great content creator Erika. I will never forget the moment that Sakurai gave us the Impossible and made it happen
Inkling and Sora are my favorites! From the beginning to the end it's been quite a ride since 2018 to 2021 and thanks to Sakurai for the great memories along the way!
Joker, Byleth, Steve and Sephiroth were the best additions for me. Each for several reasons. Joker got me into the persona franchise, I wanted three houses music in smash for a while so that wish got answered, Steve mainly boils down to childhood nostalgia, and I genuinely wanted to play as Sephiroth and its timing was perfection.
Can’t believe it’s been a year since Sora’s reveal. The loops to get him probably weren’t easy. But, I love how respectful it was to Mario who is basically the King of Nintendo. To have a trailer where he doesn’t get beat up or messed with. Cause those that know Sora. We knew he isn’t like that. So Mario to stick his hand in the Fire without getting Burned. Tossing it into the Air revealing of the keyblade then the beam that forms the Keyhole. An then Naturally Sora enters flies around and then comes to Mario himself. Not as an Enemy but as a Friend.
I've never been more hype during a game's time. I remember back when Mega Man got announced for Smash 4, that was the first one that had my FULL attention. Ever since that E3 that they revealed Smash for wii u and 3ds, it was full steam ahead. Getting excited with my friends, theorizing about who's getting in next, watching the directs anxiously awaiting the next smash character announcement, these are all moments i'll never forget. These are moments I'm gonna look back on so fondly years from now.

That handshake at the end is just perfection. A beautiful way to end this amazing journey.
I recall reading Mario and Kingdom Hearts were rivals back in the Nintendo 64 days or something.
@@Red_MOON187 square hate Nintendo
Ok
@@Red_MOON187 Kingdom hearts was PS2, if I remember correctly.
Sonic and Mario were rivals in the SNES/Genesis days. Square made Final Fantasy games for Nintendo until the N64 where they made games (FF7-9) on the PS1 when it came out.
I don't think Square hated Nintendo but they did have a falling out that lasted from around 1995 to until the 2010s.
@@Red_MOON187 Nomura was inspired by Super Mario 64, so it really comes in full circle on how Sora shakes hands with the character that played part in Kingdom Heart’s creation.
This really brings into perspective how “ultimate” this game really is.
And it doesnt even have the character reveals from the Wii U era. (Cloud etc.)
While you’re not wrong as far as how Ultimate this game feels for having all of these characters and I personally think that ending it off with Sora was extremely fitting, however, I think the way this game could’ve truly deserved the title of “Ultimate” was if they made a new Smash Bros. Brawl style Subspace Emissary story and incorporated the DLC characters to be part of the story as well, as a big update to come after all the characters released as a special surprise as a way to say, “oh you thought this was the end of the story? The story has only just begun now!” that and I think they should’ve made the roster with 100 characters instead of 89, in all honesty 100 is a number that feels way more ultimate when compared to 89, so one more DLC pack with 11 characters would’ve made this game perfect, but I would still end it with Sora either way, and I would’ve swapped Kazuya’s & Sephiroth’s placements, that way Sephiroth could’ve appeared just before Sora, as far as the 11 characters go, I would definitely want Shadow the Hedgehog, Dr. Eggman, Paper Mario, Waluigi, Dixie Kong, More Zelda Characters, Midna & Wolf Link, Demise, & Twinrova which all seem like interesting choices, also characters like Hollow Knight, Dante and Doom Slayer would all be my personal choices for 11 more characters, of course some of those choices wouldn’t have to be DLC, they could just be base roster characters, for example, Dixie Kong & Waluigi would be better as base roster characters, although I might cut the Zelda characters down to 2 characters instead of 3, that way another highly requested character that’s not from Zelda could have a chance to appear, like Crash Bandicoot as an example because I know he’s currently the most highly requested character for the next smash bros. game if there will even be one.
@@Azureblue25 Honestly that could've been better. We should've gotten a second story mode with characters interacting with eachother and fighting bosses from different games and of course story to end this game to the finale.
It's staggering. I could of done with less Fire Emblem.. As a franchise it's overly represented. Like Crash? Master Chief!? Far more worthy. But still.. Utterly staggering.
Steve’s is still the most mind blowing reveal. Sora’s received so much acclaim because it’s a dream come true for many players.
I think Steve is the only one that broke twitter out of anyone else. But seeing the 2 most requested characters (Steve and Sora) in smash is really mind blowing. Can't wait to see mashups of Steve and Sora in the near future!
I actually was hoping for Lilac from "Freedom Planet" to become playable by the time the final character was announced, but I doubt that was possible due to the fact that absolutely no one even knows about that game except for me...

I don't think this is the end. Not yet. Super Smash Bros. makes too much money for Nintendo to quit on.
Let’s just take a moment.. look back to when Melee was out and Brawl had first been advertised.. if you told us then that this would be the roster in Super Smash Bros. We would have assumed it was fake, but look at this now.. How real it has become
Fits more with Smash 4. Since Steve didn’t exist. Kingdom Hearts and Xenoblade would be in their early stages of their popularity
Still though
@@yourheroes5874 kingdom hearts has been around since 2002, and has maintained relative popularity since
@@yourheroes5874 Bro Byleth, Min Min and The Aegis didn't even exist during the Smash 4 Era
I know, it's insane. I remember when a friend and I were talking about Melee back in 2004, imagining how cool it would be if the next game, or even just a future game, had a roster of 100. Back then, we dismissed that idea as silly, cause how would you get that many fighters (we were eight and weren't aware of how many franchises there were out there. Plus we were still in the "nintendo only" mindset).
Now look. Sure the final roster is 89, but that's pretty damn close (Closer if you wanna be generous with the mii fighters.) Such a large roster was inconceivable to us.
If you told me back then that a smash game would have close to a hundred fighters, id say you're nuts.
Not everyone will be satisfied with this outcome of being the last reveal of Smash Ultimate but then again, it's just a game that features characters from different franchises and from different companies. If anything, the existence of Smash is one of life's greatest gifts and I will forever cherishes this in my life
that's because a majority are priviliged brats who are just mad an overused meme character is not in the game
The fact that Sora got into Smash is pretty incredible. Not because it will satisfy the fan base but the legal challenges, loopholes, and obstacles in order to achieve that must be insane. You have to deal with Square Enix, Sony, Nintendo, AND the largest obstacle of all in Disney.
@@vidlover69 facts. those brats need to learn the world doesn't revolve around them, I am a huge doom fan and hoped for him then the final direct made him a mii, i was disipointed but i was happy because it was better then not geting him in the game with no trace of him.
@@vtn05001 enix was hard to get in, but seqhtoth getin ff spirts showed that enix was opening up, so the easest im guessing was enix
@@vidlover69 I genuinely wanted to see waluigi or chief in the game. So I hope you didn't mean me, don't get me wrong, sora is cool and I'm happy he's in, I love kingdom hearts, but (in my opinion) I don't think he was the best choice for a final character, considering the new generation of smash players and people who play games never even heard of the game.
Joker's, Sephiroth's, and Sora's reveals are my three favorites. But if I had to pick one absolute favorite, I'd go with Sephiroth.
Nothing says "badass" like slicing a literal god in half, 10 seconds of silence, and then your theme song plays as you stare down at all of your future victims.
My 3 favorites were piranha plant steve and sora
If Waluigi was here it will count as 4
Joker's, Sephiroth's and Sora's are my fav as well
My favorite reveals are easily the Hero, Banjo-Kazooie, Steve, and Sephiroth reveals
as soon as I heard one winged angel playing I knew it was him. imo he had the best reveal trailer by a big margin
Sora all the way!
The King K. Rool reveal was the one I was the most hyped for. All of these reveals are truly magnificent and an absolute masterpiece.
Even Byleth?
ah yes i remember the days when people thought this was just a port lmao
Lowkey kinda miss those moments lmfao
huh? what do you mean
@@SpikeTheWolf people believed smash 4 would just be ported to the switch before it was found out it was a new game entirely
Yeah but Ultimate is still heavily based on Smash 4 hence why a lot of the work was already done and they didn't have to make everybody from scratch and could include every character ever
Kinda funny consindering all Smash games up to that point were new, but I can see why people thought that
It feels great to end on such a high note with Sora, I’m so glad I got to experience this event in gaming, from the bottom of I think all of our hearts Sakurai thank you
To this day I can't handle how in tune the devs were with their audience. Making a joke in the Byleth trailer about "too many swordsmen" or giving Sora the "is finally here" splash title really shows they listened.
Sakurai: never ask for anything from me again.
Me:...I am not worthy.
I love how smash is ACTUALLY a crossover game, they don’t just have guest characters, those characters are actually important to the storyline
The fighter reveals for Smash Ultimate are easily one of the greatest experiences in video game history and Sakurai should be more than applauded for his excellent work on the series
The Sora reveal easily hit me hardest since Kingdom Hearts is my favorite series, but the reveals for Joker, Sephiroth, Kazuya, Byleth, Pyra / Mythra, and Steve also hold a special place for me

I like that the final trailer was nothing but a simple, beautiful celebration of how far the series has come to include the character literally everybody thought to be impossible, and yet here we are. Ultimate really managed to pull out all the stops and bring a long list of characters even the director of the game thought could never possibly work in the series into one big collaboration of gaming.
Ok
Sephiroth: “I’ve been waiting for this moment.”

Watching all of these trailers again makes me feel like I'm experiencing them again for the first time. Like I know every single one of these fighters is in the game but I still get so excited about it when each one is revealed. There's only one game in the world that can do that to people after all its years of production.
It started with the fire smash symbol and it’s ends with the fire smash symbol also the instrumental of simple and clean fits it so perfectly

Ken:are you single
Link:HEY THATS MY GIRL
My top 5 reveal trailers goes:
5. Min Min - I'm a pretty big fan of ARMS and Min Min was probably my most played character. This was a very fun way to start off the second Fighters Pass!
4. Steve - It's fucking Steve. What else do I need to say? Minecraft has been a part of my life for a long time, so when I saw that he was going to be in Smash, I freaked out!
3. Kazuya - Tekken was my first ever fighting game and although Kazuya wasn't my main (Jin and Yoshimitsu were), I'm so damn happy Tekken got a rep!
2. Sephiroth - My God, this was THE most unexpected character. My all time favorite video game villain coming from my second favorite video game franchise! Everything about this trailer was epic, from the way Sephiroth descended into the battle just to torment poor Cloud some more, to the many Advent Children references in the cinematics!
1. Sora - Never have I ever felt much emotion towards a video game until this reveal. Kingdom Hearts is by far my most beloved video game franchise of all time and I've been wanting this character since Brawl. Everything about this trailer was just... So damn beautiful!
Gosh, you were the target audience on the second battle pass
@@fernandog2761 I'm gonna hope that you said "battle pass" as a joke.
5 - Joker: I haven’t played persona 5, but I’d heard a ton about it, I’d seen it’s popping style, I’ve heard people wanting joker in. Additionally, his reveal trailer was sick.
4 - Piranha Plant: Come *ON* you can’t deny it was hilarious to see + Banjo-Kazooie: ITS THE BOY!!! Seeing him portrayed SO perfectly was amazing, and reusing the environment from K.Rools trailer was just perfect.
3 - Sephiroth: Very unexpected, very awesome. Also he stabs Mario.
2 - Sora: I haven’t played any Kingdom Hearts games, but they NAILED Sora’s reveal. Everything about Sora’s reveal. The music, the timing, the scenes, it was beautiful to see. Seeing SO MANY people so happy about Sora was so nice to see.
1 - Steve: I don’t think it’s possible for me to recapture my sheer joy seeing the Minecraft effects and hearing the Minecraft sounds. I genuinely cannot properly express the simple euphoria I felt seeing it transition into the minecraft world. GOD, I wish I could’ve seen the look on my face. Minecraft Steve. In Super Smash Brothers! This is actually just one big fever dream isn’t it
@@fernandog2761 Aside from Pythra, I guess! 😂
I'd have to agree with this list except for Min Min. I'd replace Min Min with Pyra/Mythra for my list.
Absolutely amazing. Though I think Krool and Banjo were my favorites, Sora is very close. The final reveal was cinematic perfection. The music and the incredible tension leading up to Mario picking up the Keyblade. Still tear up when Simple and Clean drops. Just fantastic. What an amazing game
ITS DEARLY BELOVED NOT SIMPLE AND CLEAN
CutsieGamer dearly beloved is the song that plays on the title screen
Ok
Steve's and Sora's reveals were the best for me, i went insane when steve was revealed cause I thought he was never gonna make it since he is a cube shaped character lol, and sora also blew me away, on how they finally managed to get him into the game
Sephiroth's got me hyped, but Sora's gave me chills and I legitimately started crying
I cried throughout the whole trailer for Sora and I cry every time
@@ventus5628 I LOVE SORA~!
And then there was me, crying not for sora but because they wasted an occasion to add the character that would make the people happier than ever, or maybe the characters, they could've made a plot twist where they add more characters instead of a simple one (That personally I hate), but well... Piranha plant and Min min. They really like to enrage the community sometimes.
@@wariopide I get Piranha Plant, what is the problem with Min Min?
Also, ending with Sora is actually the best idea, having the hero travelling and saving worlds with a key-shaped sword, connecting everything. Also Sora was also a fan favorite, it made a lot of people happy, even scrolling through the comments of this compilation, a lot of people are talking about Sora, which means he had a lot of impact to the gaming community. We were happy to see him.
If you want to go on adding Waluigi - Don't get me wrong, I love this guy, but Waluigi was never an important character (To be fair, neither was Piranha Plant). He was mainly in Spin-Off Games to have a partner for Wario, and while I absolutely mained him in a lot of those spin-offs, they never included him in the Main Games. So of course he wouldn't be in Smash.
I mean, let us be honest here for a second: What do we know of him except that he likes to play along and maybe is a friend of Wario?
(If he was in a main-game, please name me the game, I would actually be very happy to be corrected here xD)
With Sora, SU now truly feels like the quintessential celebration of gaming.
It still lacks two stars of the videogame era u.u
@@jasonlobo2350
Name them
Cause there are actually a lot of characters not in ultimate, particularly indies and really obscure titles, playstation and valve owned, from greedy companies like EA and Activision, some franchises with little to none representation in japan (like mortal kombat) or outside of japan (insert exclusive japanese game here) and pretty much the entire mobile games industry (dragalia lost and angry birds)
Now to be clear, despite the game lacking some characters, it is and will always be the quintessential gaming crossover EVEN IF A FUTURE GAME SURPASS IT (which i doubt it will ever happen) because if it happens then it's because Ultimate allowed it to happen since it did it first
@@lucaantinori4834 crash bandicoot, spyro and rayman

Those are actually 3 stars
And I was right, two of them are from Activision (a greedy company that Microsoft bought AFTER smash ultimate ended so there was nothing to do) and the other one belongs to Ubisoft, which is just as bad as bethesda was (before it was bought by Microsoft) and also greedy
@@lucaantinori4834 youre taking greedy at fault when Nintendo literally talk to Disney(the pinnacle of greed) to have sora on board. The reality is the one sakurai said. I dont choose who gets in, the company does. Thats why we got byleth and min min instead of crash and rayman
The introduction videos got really violent with this game. I love it.
Kazuya dropping Kirby off the cliff might be one of the funniest things to ever happen in a trailer.
I’ll always remember inklings reveal. It was such an obvious character to add and the fact that a new smash game was announced with it is just incredible
Mario shaking Sora's hand is a moment in gaming history. Two corporate titans agreeing under the same roof is unimaginable.
Ok
Three!
Thank you for everything Sakurai 🙏
From the bottom of my heart. Thank you Nintendo and Mr. Sakurai.
The sora reveal was absolutely beautiful! The single most requested character of all time is finally coming to smash!
Ok
Well, he HAD the most Votes in the Smash Fighters Ballot.
The sephiroth one was the most hype in my opinion
Its crazy to think that Sora was foreshadowed since the first Ultimate teaser. Even Lifelight hinted the outcome of the final trailer, aside of from World of Light.
I really miss these character reveals! They always used to be the biggest highlight of any Direct for me!
While they’re not necessarily my favorite characters, I still think the Simon/Richter trailer was the best. The animation is top notch, the idea of having Luigi explore the castle with actual non-cartoony horrors was inspired, and immediately following the announcement of echo fighters as a concept, it was cool to see it implemented in a brand new franchise rep.
Sephiroth didn’t even get invited. He just showed up to beat the hell out of Cloud.
There are 4 that blew me away, and one of them still makes emotional to this day. Joker Banjo and Sephiroth all got me hyped since they're cool character who I was hoping for, or in Joker's case came out of left field when I was already interested in the series. And then Sora's trailer dropped, and I still get teary eyed seeing it. I played Kingdom Hearts 2 on the PS2 when I was super young, and I never beat it until recently the series has always held such a special place in my heart, and seeing Sora in Smash genuinely made me cry the First Time. Thank you Sakurai!
It's amazing seeing Mario (The first fighter in Super Smash Bros. 64) shake hands with Sora (The last fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate).
I like how Simon makes a chicken for Link what a nice guy 😂 4:16
i just love joker's, sephiroth's, and sora's trailers so much
45:04 My favorite part of his reveal. This shot perfectly captures why Sora's so perfect for the whole concept of Smash Bros. Going right back to Kairi's message in the bottle. "There are many worlds, but they all share the same sky". Sora = sky in Japanese.
Born too late to explore the world. Born too early to explore the universe
Born just in time to experience these hype reveal trailers
How ironic that that Byleth has the longest one out of all of them
Actually Min Min’s reveal is merged with byleth for some reason
Why is it ironic? I’m not familiar with Byleth
@@oklahomie95 Byleth is from Fire Emblem, a franchise that is infamous in Smash Bros. due to the amount of reps (6 full characters, 8 if you count echo fighters)
Sakurai wanted us to suffer through the Nintendo gauntlet before getting to Sora lmao
@@jaidens.g.1920 Including the fact that super mario and pokemon have the same amount even though they are more popular games. The reason for this is because no nintendo games feature too many prevalent sword fighter characters so they had to use more characters from fire emblem. Don’t know why they used byleth though
Sora shake hands with Mario Seeing him as an counterpart version of his friend of Mickey Mouse.
Nothing will ever be as jarring to me as seeing Ganondorf's lifeless body being what opens Kazuya's reveal.
I know this might just be me, but before this game I never thought King K Rool would ever return. On that day he was announced I was left in utter shock. I mean he hadn't been in a game since Mario Super Sluggers, so he wasn't in an actual game for a decade until that direct. He was my most requested character and I got him.
All the other fighters were also amazing, I hope Sakurai gets a long well deserved vacation.
Remember back when we thought Solid Snake and Sonic the Hedgehog being in Smash was the most insane thing ever?
ok
The cinematics are super hype but my favourite part of these trailers is all the little jokes when they show the actual fighting movesets - like Simon cooking chicken with his fire or King K Rool showing his Up B in front of an helicopter.
Issabele's trailer is so wholesome because in the game she's constantly smiling so it looks like she's super happy to be in smash
There will never be another game like Smash Ultimate
What a ride it’s been!
Ok
Only just a few minutes in but the nostalgia from the last few years is making me cry
The experience of Sephiroth and Sora’s trailers will never be replicated. They are insanely magical moments, especially Sora’s and using the KH1 song from the KH1 opening trailer and then seeing Sora and Mario shaking hands with the whole roster behind them was EVERYTHING!!!
I remember wanting Simon before he was revealed. Terry is the most fun DLC imo tho.
Are you okay? BUSTER WOLF
Terry, Hero and Kazuya are the most fun
I think sephiroth, hero, and terry are the most fun characters out of all the dlc
In my opinion, it’s Hero, Terry, Sephiroth, and Kazuya. Hero’s way to fun to play as
I wish there was a full length video like this that went through all the trailers but it included mashup reactions from different youtubers with their reactions to each one. it would be really cool to see that progress

I will never get over the fact that Sonic punched Mario into Minecraft. I'm still convinced this is fanmade.
One of the most incredible journeys of any video game ever created period. So many of the characters reveals broke the internet. Like Steve, Sephiroth, Banjo, Joker, Sora, and King K Rool. I don't think we'll ever get a video game that celebrates video game characters like this ever again. At least not to this capacity or extent. Super Smash Bros Ultimate will always go down as one of my favorite video games I've ever had the honor of playing and experiencing. Thank you so much Sakuari!
It gave me nostalgia after all the reveals I was so hyped for SSBU cuz of my friend who immediately showed me in high school of 2018. And 3 years later I was still hyped to see who would join in SSBU like Steve, Joker, Banjo and Kazooie and even Sephiroth that last made me more emotional because of a good friend of mine who always wanted him in there and he got it. And a great content creator Erika. I will never forget the moment that Sakurai gave us the Impossible and made it happen

I'm sure he did in Heaven.
Inkling and Sora are my favorites! From the beginning to the end it's been quite a ride since 2018 to 2021 and thanks to Sakurai for the great memories along the way!
Joker, Byleth, Steve and Sephiroth were the best additions for me. Each for several reasons. Joker got me into the persona franchise, I wanted three houses music in smash for a while so that wish got answered, Steve mainly boils down to childhood nostalgia, and I genuinely wanted to play as Sephiroth and its timing was perfection.
Can’t believe it’s been a year since Sora’s reveal. The loops to get him probably weren’t easy. But, I love how respectful it was to Mario who is basically the King of Nintendo. To have a trailer where he doesn’t get beat up or messed with. Cause those that know Sora. We knew he isn’t like that. So Mario to stick his hand in the Fire without getting Burned. Tossing it into the Air revealing of the keyblade then the beam that forms the Keyhole. An then Naturally Sora enters flies around and then comes to Mario himself. Not as an Enemy but as a Friend.
I've never been more hype during a game's time. I remember back when Mega Man got announced for Smash 4, that was the first one that had my FULL attention. Ever since that E3 that they revealed Smash for wii u and 3ds, it was full steam ahead. Getting excited with my friends, theorizing about who's getting in next, watching the directs anxiously awaiting the next smash character announcement, these are all moments i'll never forget. These are moments I'm gonna look back on so fondly years from now.
