Bro sakurai said in the sora trailer you could go from middle school to high school in the time ultimate was out, and that’s exactly what happened with me. Thank you for making my childhood so great sakurai.
Same, and this game has basically shaped me into who I am. Sakurai has raised us and done so much for us, and we can't do anything but show him our gratitude.
I *GRADUATED* high school in that amount of time and it's absolutely wild to me how it still feels like the game just came out. Crazy how time flies like that
That image of Sora shaking hands with Mario, with everyone in the background is one of gaming's biggest celebrations, a fitting end for my single most desired fighter for Smash for 10+ years
I love how not only did Sans get his own entire segment at 30:52 (Unironically, that's still such a huge reveal), but the Mario Movie Cast got a whole segment at 52:15 solely because it's just funny The intermission at 54:01 was really nice to hear, Smash Ultimate's impact has been insane. I was finishing up middle school when the game released, and now I'm through more than half of high school. The Smash Ultimate ride has been really fun, and my mind still hasn't processed that it's starting to end
The Sans reveal was the only one where I actually reacted that loudly. I heard Megalovania start playing and I just SCREAMED- not actually because of Sans, but because of Megalovania.
I heard that “Sans is in Smash” from several friends and I got confused because I looked for a reveal trailer but couldn’t find it. Took me an hour to figure out that he was a mii costume lol.
ok i may sound stupid but i started recording myself reacting to smash character reveals after Ridley was revealed so whenever i miss that smash hype i could rewatch myself reacting to it again... Yeah I'm weird and stupid aren't i?
NO! NO! NO! Many people say I am sick in the head. NOOOO!!!! I don't believe them. But there are so many people commenting this stuff on my videos, that I have 1% doubt. So I have to ask you right now: Do you think I am sick in the head? Thanks for helping, my dear ma
I think the intermission was the best part of the video. Thank you Jacob, for being one of the most authentic and genuinely nice people in the smash community.
This has been such a wild ride. Being an Alpharad, Alpharad Plus, Alpharad Deluxe, Alpharad Replay, Not Alpharad and Jacob Rabon IV subscriber over these past three and a half years has been extremely rewarding and I've loved every second of it.
As much as alpharad says "THIS IS EVERYTHING I WANTED!!!" 18:00 is a cruel reminder that one did elude him. Possibly one of my favorite reactions too because I doubt anyone was ready for this.
I don't know why everyone was looking at Geno. He's from a game that barely sold, from a franchise that has sold 700 million copies. We don't need him. People just jumped on to a trend from 20 years ago when people speculated about geno.
"MARIO DIED!!!" will never leave my mind as my favorite Alpharad reaction. The absolute screams of horror when Sans was revealed won't leave my memories either.
@@tripplordofinconvenience9953 they wanted it to be true so they ignored that it was clearly fake and made no sense. And to be fair it would have been hilarious.
I don't think the trailers are any less hype. We are simply satisfied already. Like, after Minecraft Steve, we peaked. I was so happy for Sephiroth because Final Fantasy 7 deserved it. I was happy for Kazuya because he's badass and I love Tekken and how goofy and jank it is. Sora?? 3 years ago, I would have popped off so frickin hard, ESPECIALLY WITH SEPHIROTH IN THE GAME HOLY SHIT But like...what we had already, that was pretty good I think. We saw Galeem get cut in half, we have characters with cutscenes. They are not low effort by any means. *We're just satisfied now. Let Soccer Guy rest already.* [Doesn't help that we all kind of hate Nintendo now for essentially outright murdering the Smash community]
@@Aflay1 Yeah I just feel like having Steve be one of the most iconic gaming characters of all time really ruined my perception of the rest of the Dlcs seeing as they were all honestly smaller in comparison. For the part about Sora I didn’t like the reveal honestly because it was boring lol.
I love how over the years Jacob has transformed from looking like every single kid you see at your Smash Bros local to looking like a Hunger Games announcer.
I mean, he was exactly that, and IS exactly that. I mean he hosted Roblox Outlaster, then a pop in theater, then stuffed his friends in an unwinnable escape room. It's not really that far off is it.
@@leonasty69 I'm genuinely curious as to why it wasn't good. I know nothing of Fire Emblem except people complain cause of "too many characters in Smash" which is a weird thing to complain about.
“Mario ordered a creeper.” It’s sad this journey has come to a close but your videos have been such a fun part of Smash Ultimate as a whole. And I’m just one of millions. Just wow. So many memories. Thanks Alpha. :)
Man, the end hit me so hard. Right after them laughing their ass off at the mario movie, it really felt good. I had already seen the trailer, but just hearing them laugh as unsuspecting people made me laugh just as hard with them. I love these people, and laughing with them feels great. Then, the emotional speech right after realizing how much these people mean to me and realizing jacob's in a better place and knowing he's doing great hit hard.
I’ll never forget that moment of having math class interrupt the second half of the November 2018 Smash Direct for me, and wondering the entire time who the potential “bonus announcement character” would be. I thought it would be Geno or something. I then remember Googling “Smash Ultimate” after class, seeing Piranha Plant got into the greatest gaming crossover as a full fighter, and laughing hysterically. Since then they’ve been my Main and favorite character in the entire series. Thank you for all of the memories, Sakurai. And thanks for all the Ultimate hype, Alpha.
A friend and I were watching the direct in our senior English class and when they showed sonic dying to Galeem I started laughing my ass off and got in trouble lol
This has to be the most generic comment I’ve ever seen,m8 you haven’t even watched the video yet, and these are literally just clips of his reactions back in 2018, god damn the verified commenting meta has to be the worst era of RUclips in existence
Well guys, it turns out the real DLC fighters were the friends we all made along the way. It’s been a long journey fellow gamers, but it was great one and I’m gonna miss it
Bro idk the fk you talking about, I'm Kazuya main and everyone hates me XD. But yeah I guess it is what we experienced along the way at least, for those who have no friends :D.
my firt alpharad video was how to lucas 101, after watching weegees how to ness for the nth time lol who knew how big of a fan id be just because i wanted to learn lucas
never realized just how long it has been, ultimate still feels brand new yet smash ultimate has existed for longer than the timespan between bayonetta's release in smash 4 and the release of ultimate
When I'm feeling low, I always come back to this video - the energy is just so infections, and even though I'm not remotely into Smash (as a player at least) it's so great to see people getting so excited about something they love. My favourite parts are when they see Snake in the original trailer, and the Banjo-Kazooie reveal.
Rewatching this and listening to Jacob's intermission near the end, I was reminiscing about each point in my life and where I was at watching each reveal when they came out. Crazy to think how long it's been.
This video gave me so much nostalgia that I legitimately cried. All of the ups and down of this community over the last like 4 years, this video is the definition of the highs :')
"THAT'S SO DIFFERENT!" He said of Richter and Simon, who are literally the same EDIT: The End... in more ways than one. Thank you Alpharad for making this journey that much more entertaining... I don't know if your new channel vibe is as much what I'm interested in as what you started with, but I thank you for 3 years of content that never failed to put a smile on my face. I'll give the new stuff a shot, but I would be a liar if I said I didn't miss the old days of just watching you and Jo do stupid doubles combos online or when you did Mario Party with the whole squad. Stay frosty, Jacob
Dang, man. I’m glad you’re in a better place. Your videos have seriously been the best. I watch nearly all of them. They’ve helped me battle depression and even a divorce that tore me to pieces. Thank you for you work. Because of the help from what you create, you’ve helped me be in a better place. For that, you will always have at least this loyal subscriber.
I wish there were infinite characters to react to every once in a while. In the end, I am SO happy Pyra/Mythra got in, because I love Xenoblade 2, and I think Sakurai deserves a rest with all the amazing work he has done
One of the great things about all these reveals and baits is that they always made sure that even when they baited people, the ones who were excited for the setup are still satisfied. They teased a new Animal Crossing, showed Smash, and then revealed Animal Crossing at the end as well. The K. Rool and Banjo trailers have more direct payoffs after the bait. Terry's trailer had like 15 people fail to get the invite, but half of them are background characters and they all have music tracks, usually more than one. The only real exception is Min Min, probably because since it started with a noodle shop it's hardly a surprise they went with her in the end, and Spring Man is still an Assist Trophy. Except for Geno fans lol
Dammit man, with the intermission I’ve been overall hesitant with the change your channel has made over the years but I can’t help but fall in love all over again whenever you pull out those heart to hearts. Onward and upward, to better things
Same, I haven't really been into his newer content, and I've barely watched any of his new videos for quite a few months now. However, I can't bring myself to unsubscribe, because he still comes off as a genuine and cool person. Whenever he does make content I care about, I find it entertaining, and I appreciate the effort and quality.
i cannot stop coming back to this video. this is already my 4th watch in 6 months. it brings me back to the times when i would watch all your smash videos right when they can out, and getting so excited. they got my through some tough times, and i couldn’t thank Mr. Jacob Alpharad enough
Honestly the main reason I got into smash was because I watched alpharad react to the 2nd smash direct, and subsequently how I got into his videos, his commentary was beyond funny to me
ok, fine, ur welcome to be excited and im not one to hate on others for their smash request, but they should have at least cut out some of the older games fighters (probably impossible considering this is supposed to have all the characters but i digress), there are as many fire emblem characters as mario characters, and more than pokemon which is the #1 media franchise on the planet! sorry for ranting lol, nobody cares and im glad ur excited
I hope you always remember how just our cause is will be my senior quote. I’m so glad to have been a part if this community since smash 4 and being there these past few years have shaped who I am. You’ve given me the best advice anyone has ever given me (no im not talking about the sending a message bit) and i really feel like we as a community were able to be with you through your journey of happiness (not in a parasocial way) thank you for being true to yourself and giving us content to enjoy.
54:00 I think this really is kinda one of my favorite vids to go back and watch on this channel. Seeing the past alpharad and reveals is a shock of nostalgia, remembering the times when those were 'first day' videos, and each character was the new hype.
Alpharad has been one of my favorite channels for the past few years and it got me through a few tough spots. So that segment near the end was really nice to hear that Jacob is doing good too

Alpharad is a walking W man, the nostalgia he brings is insane
Ultimate hasnt even been out for 4 years tho. You must have a lost sense of time for it to be nostalgic :p
This has to be the most generic comment I’ve ever seen,m8 you haven’t even watched the video yet, and these are literally just clips of his reactions back in 2018, god damn the verified commenting meta has to be the worst era of RUclips in existence
this dude has to be auto generated or some shit, no way can you tell me these arent botted comments

“ ridley gets attacked by mythra “
Ridley: WHAT THE FUCK!!
Looking back on the Piranha Plant reveal got me like "I used to think this was a tragedy, but now I realise it's a comedy"
Well guys, it turns out the real DLC fighters were the friends we all made along the way. It’s been a long journey fellow gamers, but it was great one and I’m gonna miss it
Forever in my memories and heart, and i will play smash forever, and give alpharad my money
Bro idk the fk you talking about, I'm Kazuya main and everyone hates me XD. But yeah I guess it is what we experienced along the way at least, for those who have no friends :D.
For a low price of 6 dollars you can buy a friend!
@@georgegkoumas5026 Kazuya is sick as hell what the fuck they talking about?
Never forget that Alpha supported Captn Zack when he admitted to raping Nairo
RIP Joker reaction. It would’ve been the best of them, I’m sure of it
What could’ve been, aye?
If only
That would've been alot of screaming
Not better than Mario
but could it possibly top the Mario reaction?
It’s weird watching through this again and seeing Alpharad go from like a frat boy looking college dude to the guy he is today.
Ikr 😂
I've been watching this guy since how to Mario 101. He really went through the biggest glowup. Congrats alpharad
my firt alpharad video was how to lucas 101, after watching weegees how to ness for the nth time lol
who knew how big of a fan id be just because i wanted to learn lucas
Oh man, I REMEMBER those old smash 4 mlg montages. Never thought that 6 whole years later I'd still LOVE his content
I can’t remember my first alpharad video but I know it was one of the old old 101 videos
same here. I've been seeing him grow up, even though I'm just a stranger to him. he's awesome
Yeah, 2014 gang, and it's been a pleasure.
Started with Inkling
Kept going with Piranha Plant
And finally ended with Sora.
*What a wild ride this has been.*
never realized just how long it has been, ultimate still feels brand new yet smash ultimate has existed for longer than the timespan between bayonetta's release in smash 4 and the release of ultimate
When I'm feeling low, I always come back to this video - the energy is just so infections, and even though I'm not remotely into Smash (as a player at least) it's so great to see people getting so excited about something they love. My favourite parts are when they see Snake in the original trailer, and the Banjo-Kazooie reveal.
I love when they revealed Mario, honestly best dlc pack
On god bro
I loved the part where they revealed Waluigi, hahaha, haha, ha...
The household pop off at Snake is legendary
Get someone to love you the way MVD loves Snake
Glad he did, their reactions were great
Sans and Mario movie cast are my favorite reactions you've had.
The absolute maniacal laughter during the Mario movie cast reveal added ten years to my lifespan holy shit 😂
"This is either Smash or Animal Crossing"
Nintendo: "How about both?"
I love how sans gets his own dedicated section he was one of the biggest revels
Mario made Jacob laugh more though lol
@@paxgallery6646 he wasn’t laughing at sans, that was pure terror
Yeah I think sans and cuphead were hype. Shantae and geno were just sad.
Dont forget the mario voice cast also got their own too X)
Revels
I love how the best reaction of him isn’t even from the smash reveals, it’s the reveal for the Mario cast
Rewatching this and listening to Jacob's intermission near the end, I was reminiscing about each point in my life and where I was at watching each reveal when they came out. Crazy to think how long it's been.
The fact that you included the Mario movie cast is impeccable
And sans undertale from the videogame undertale
they were more hyped for it than any fighter combined
@@liloldman5998 wait I thought sans undertale was from deltarune
watching these made me realize how funny the trailers are, only in smash can you see Sephiroth fight Cloud while throwing Mario
"The platform fighter Nickelodean?" my God he knew.
TimestMp?
@@NotAI69420 Very beginning with the Splatoon fake-out
Fully expecting geno and reacting to piranha plant is the funniest thing ever
Wow it’s actually really wholesome watching you through the years. You never lost your spark. Thanks for the 3 years❤️
This video gave me so much nostalgia that I legitimately cried. All of the ups and down of this community over the last like 4 years, this video is the definition of the highs :')
"THAT'S SO DIFFERENT!" He said of Richter and Simon, who are literally the same
EDIT: The End... in more ways than one. Thank you Alpharad for making this journey that much more entertaining... I don't know if your new channel vibe is as much what I'm interested in as what you started with, but I thank you for 3 years of content that never failed to put a smile on my face. I'll give the new stuff a shot, but I would be a liar if I said I didn't miss the old days of just watching you and Jo do stupid doubles combos online or when you did Mario Party with the whole squad. Stay frosty, Jacob
Jo would be so mad that you added an e
Yea
Alpharad deluxe has a lot of his old form content too!
@@kenzieroots347 just not edited!
Actually Simon has red flames so is at a disadvantage against red pikmin
oh my god that was so heart warming for some reason like i almost cried thinking about all of this.
Dang, man. I’m glad you’re in a better place. Your videos have seriously been the best. I watch nearly all of them. They’ve helped me battle depression and even a divorce that tore me to pieces. Thank you for you work. Because of the help from what you create, you’ve helped me be in a better place. For that, you will always have at least this loyal subscriber.
I wish there were infinite characters to react to every once in a while. In the end, I am SO happy Pyra/Mythra got in, because I love Xenoblade 2, and I think Sakurai deserves a rest with all the amazing work he has done
Never forget that Alpha supported Captn Zack when he admitted to raping Nairo
@@dovahllin798 do you like being a let down
I feel like the only person that yelled at Byleth and Aegis lmao
@@dovahllin798 ok bot
Klonoa would've been such a good Namco character for them to add but not a lot of people know him so.
I love how even if we get an undesirable rep, you can't be mad because Sakurai says something funny immediately afterwards.
One of the great things about all these reveals and baits is that they always made sure that even when they baited people, the ones who were excited for the setup are still satisfied. They teased a new Animal Crossing, showed Smash, and then revealed Animal Crossing at the end as well. The K. Rool and Banjo trailers have more direct payoffs after the bait. Terry's trailer had like 15 people fail to get the invite, but half of them are background characters and they all have music tracks, usually more than one. The only real exception is Min Min, probably because since it started with a noodle shop it's hardly a surprise they went with her in the end, and Spring Man is still an Assist Trophy.
Except for Geno fans lol
I thought this was gonna be you and jo reacting to a compilation of all of them again lmao
With Dhakota too
They should do that and pretend it's their first time reacting to them.
I think this was better
Probably couldn't because Dakotha was going anim style at ininout
@@mexikann6248 They should do that
Dammit man, with the intermission
I’ve been overall hesitant with the change your channel has made over the years but I can’t help but fall in love all over again whenever you pull out those heart to hearts.
Onward and upward, to better things

@@dovahllin798 Please give me further explanation. I’m confused as hell.
Same, I haven't really been into his newer content, and I've barely watched any of his new videos for quite a few months now. However, I can't bring myself to unsubscribe, because he still comes off as a genuine and cool person. Whenever he does make content I care about, I find it entertaining, and I appreciate the effort and quality.
Steve trailer was the peak honestly. I haven't been excited for any reveal after him.
hello there shyguymask u are certified epic
It made me sad after seeing Sans, because I knew no character is ever going to get the same reaction. Funny block man excluded
Mostly because its the only one I know and played from all the dlc fighters
Steve, Sephiroth and Sora (even though I've never played KH) were my top 3
Same
i cannot stop coming back to this video. this is already my 4th watch in 6 months. it brings me back to the times when i would watch all your smash videos right when they can out, and getting so excited. they got my through some tough times, and i couldn’t thank Mr. Jacob Alpharad enough
Love how sans has a spot in reactions and is considered in smash thoug it's just a mii custume, it speaks volume of undertale
Included for the memes like the Mario movie cast
4-5 years ago I could never imagine I'd be saying "I main Piranha Plant from Super Mario Bros"
Honestly the main reason I got into smash was because I watched alpharad react to the 2nd smash direct, and subsequently how I got into his videos, his commentary was beyond funny to me
What a ride this has been, has it always been a good one? No of course not, but it’s been a hell of a ride nonetheless.
Late 2019 and all of 2020 and 2021 have been mostly hell.

I like how in none of these trailers, K Rool dies, even in gameplay, he just makes a brief appearance cause they know he's too powerful
He died in the Banjo trailer. Same way Grunty did

“IT’S GOKU! ITS GOKU!”
31:00
The popoff for Sans was hilarious on its own but seeing the chat catch up at 31:27 was the cherry on top.
You can actually see it speed up 😂
I remember how angry everyone was that byleth appeared, and im just standing there screaming my ass off with pure excitement.
I guess this game is for everyone
Let's be honest, someone had to be hype for Byleth.
ok, fine, ur welcome to be excited and im not one to hate on others for their smash request, but they should have at least cut out some of the older games fighters (probably impossible considering this is supposed to have all the characters but i digress), there are as many fire emblem characters as mario characters, and more than pokemon which is the #1 media franchise on the planet!
sorry for ranting lol, nobody cares and im glad ur excited
Why would anyone be excited over byleth
@@christophermacqueen2513 this may come as a surprise, but people play fire emblem
One of the funniest bits.
Alpharad Deluxe was so laid back about the Sora reveal
Alpharad popped the fuck off
Thank you Mr. Alpha
“Give me a Belmont”
And he would never utter these words again.
Nintendo said “how about two?”
“IT’S GENO IT’S GENO” not only is it not GENO it is infinitely funnier
That reaction did not disappoint lmfao
Really like them including the Chris Pratt segment again
crazy how they added Christ Pratt in smash
OH MY GOD DO YOU REMEMBER THE TIMES WHEN THE BIGGEST COMPLAINT WAS THAT "It's a port..." imagine those people now
I hope you always remember how just our cause is will be my senior quote. I’m so glad to have been a part if this community since smash 4 and being there these past few years have shaped who I am. You’ve given me the best advice anyone has ever given me (no im not talking about the sending a message bit) and i really feel like we as a community were able to be with you through your journey of happiness (not in a parasocial way) thank you for being true to yourself and giving us content to enjoy.
If that really is gonna be your senior quote then holy fuck that's giga chad energy right there

54:00 I think this really is kinda one of my favorite vids to go back and watch on this channel.
Seeing the past alpharad and reveals is a shock of nostalgia, remembering the times when those were 'first day' videos, and each character was the new hype.
Alpharad has been one of my favorite channels for the past few years and it got me through a few tough spots. So that segment near the end was really nice to hear that Jacob is doing good too
