His moveset isn't impossible, but it would be hard. It would have to be very sports based. There's still a chance he could be a part of the DLC though.
@@Rexcalibar Possibly. He IS an assist trophy, though. That's pretty much an open rejection by Sakurai's standards. And honestly I'd rather him not be a part of the 5 DLC characters.
I think a really cool detail in the final cutscene, was that when Palutena was vaporized, Pit and Dark Pit lost their power of flight. You'd expect it to happen, but it's a detail that they didn't have to show.
In Kid Icarus: Uprising, his wings were powered by Pandora, who Dark Pit had beaten and absorbed. He loses his power in Chapter 22: Scorched Feathers I believe, where he gets too close to the revival spring. Pandora enters the spring and becomes a younger, prettier, more powerful version of herself. After that Dark Pit becomes flightless on his own.
koopa kid gang Palutena can grant it to both of them, he doesn’t have to get it from Viridi. According to the Divine Guidance skits from Sm4sh, she allows Pit to keep his flight just to be fair, and Viridi helps dark Pit out there. Here, this seems to imply Palutena is responsible for both of them, since Viridi is rather occupied “renewing” the world in her stage.
Great reaction, I've seen so many people get upset because of the grinch leak being fake, and saying the direct was trash. I mean what did they expect? Sakurai said on E3 that there wouldnt be many fighters left. We got so much even after the big e3 reveal. So sad to see people whining about that we only got 3 new fighters in the new direct. 3 fighters is a lot if you ask me, AND we will have dlc fighters. We have gotten MUCH more than we even asked for. Love you daddy Sakurai.
Piranha Plant is DLC. It's not part of the Fighters Pass. It'll be free up until Jan. 31, 2019. After that, you have to pay for it. (I read this on the e-Shop)
Ken - "Wow! Excuse me?" Incineroar - "Wait! Excuse me?" "Incineroar, our last fighter" - "Excuse me? Last?" Trophies won't come back - "What?! Excuse me?" We came up with spirits - "Not a story mode? Excuuuuse me" Phone app - "Excuse me, sir... Do you really think I'm using that?" World of Light - Excuse me...? For real? Adventure? Wow!"
I was most excited about playing as Simon Belmont and King K. Rool before this Direct happened. But now, I'm too doubled over in laughter at the idea of smashing as a Piranha Plant.
About Nintendo and ARMS: ARMS is actually is the best selling exclusive fighting game in the last 3 years in Japan (2.1 million, more tan SF5), and Nintendo is still supporting esports event in Japan with the ARMS Grand Prix an EVO Japan, is only here in America where they decided to not continue with that.
To clarify, Spirits and World of Light look to be two entirely separate game modes, not the same thing. But both will require the use of Spirits, which can also be used in certain multiplayer modes. Also, Piranha Plant is just a free bonus if you pre-purchase the game or register the physical copy, we don't know any of the DLC fighters or stages
Kalina Hitana The eShop also says that Piranha Plant will become paid DLC eventually, but separate from the Fighters Pass, so anyone who thinks Piranha Plant is one of the five Fighters Pass fighters, he's not. This is just like Mewtwo all over again. He's free for those who do early registration (AKA buy the game and pass early), and will become regular DLC later on for everyone else to get, but he's not affecting the Fighters Pass. Here's what the eShop says verbatim: "Piranha Plant will also be available as paid DLC (separate from the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighters Pass content) at a later time." So anyone who keeps saying "Piranha Plant is one of the five Fighters Pass fighters", he is not. He's just a bonus DLC character.
vgmaster02 Well they did say in the Direct, they have yet to start development on the 5 DLC characters. And they will start development after the game launches. Piranha Plant is obviously already in development. If you put 2 and 2 together it should be clear as day but A lot of reactors seem to completely miss that.
Brawl's theme had lyrics in Esperanto - a language no normal person speaks. Ultimate's theme is in both English and Japanese - and at least one of those languages is studied world-wide, even if the speakers of it suck at it.
So if no one speaks it normally, then it doesn't count? That's what you're telling me. Even if at the end of Subspace during the credits, they show the English translation for the theme.
You KIND of have a point, but again - with the theme song being in straight up English this time, there's no need for subtitles. So even if Brawl's Esperanto theme is truly the first "theme with lyrics in Smash", Ultimate's theme is more easily understood right out of the gate. P.S. While I need to preface this by saying this is just my personal taste, I would like to point out that Brawl's main theme is the worst in the series - with only Smash 4's theme coming remotely close. In the end, the original theme was, and always will be, the best.
I have a theory about Piranha Plant. I bet that was Sakurai's middle finger to the people who were giving him threats and flak over Waluigi. 'Waluigi DESERVES to get in!' 'Okay, here's a plant instead.' And I love him for it!
Wait... is this... positivity? I... I didn't know it was still possible in the Smash community! Seriously though, it's awesome to hear someone who's actually excited for all of this new stuff, rather than trying to interpret it as some kind of middle finger from Sakurai. You just earned a sub.
Kirby's Warp Star can exceed past Speed of Light. He can literally go back to Dreamland and then come back when everything cools down. Don't forget, Kirby may not be fast, but his Warp Star has passed planets and galaxies in seconds.
And in the end, literally everyone died except for Kirby. The memes were right after all. XD But in all seriousness, this new story mode or whatever it is looks pretty promising. Slightly disappointed that Xenoblade 2 characters didn’t make to the base roster, but I expected as much. Hopefully Rex’s inclusion as a Mii costume doesn’t mean that he’s off the table in terms of DLC. Speaking of DLC (?), Piranha Plant may well be the most WTF character in the history of Smash Bros.
To be fair, I did say “may.” But yeah, this is the latest addition in a series full of oddballs. In all honesty though, who would have expected a mook from the Mario series, which already has a sizable number of representatives?
Stellers Eider but like they're technically "main characters" well R.O.B was pretty out there but PP is the digital form of "Hi my name is Sakurai and I'm gonna do whatever the hell I want no questions asked"
@@BlueBomberXL but... ist that a bad thing? It more than anything shows that every character has (or had) a Chance, and shatters the limitations for potential later Smash Games or even DLCs. From now on, you can't be certain for anything to happen. And leakers will have both a field day and an even harder time to convince people of something.
They pulled out all the stops for this game. It's everything everyone wanted, save for the Issac and Shadow fans, and those butthurt animu bois who wanted Son Goku, a Shonen Jump manga character, in a first party Nintendo fighting game. Don't worry, you still have Jump Force, which also has Yugi Muto and Ichigo Kurosaki.
Spreading this around for the people confused by the plant: The Piranha Plant seems to be the latest joke character in the series. First was Jigglypuff, then Pichu, then the Wii Fit Trainer(s), and now the plant. Brawl is the only Smash Bros. game not to introduce a joke character. R.O.B. doesn't count due to the role he played in The Subspace Emissary, plus -- from what I hear -- he played a big role in Nintendo's history.
@@thefuzzypickle8277 He did. He's not a joke character, either, even if he has a wacky moveset and probably blindsided players when they unlocked him or simply found out about him.
2 things: 1. Piranha Plant reaction is on point. 2. I NEED a Tom voice loop of "we're master hands, we're master Hands, We're Master Hands, WE'RE MASTER HANDS..." et cetera.
It feels good to see someone actually excited about Incineroar. I didn't really care for him, but I think he looks awesome Edit: Watching more of the direct, I'm glad Tom is more optimistic in general. I understand that everyone is allowed to have their own opinion, but it's nice to see someone be excited about Incineroar and the Spirits mode in general. Too many people were either upset or generally negative about both of those
so... if you look closely while they're going over the shop and stuff, you can see a spot for movies, it's likely the adventure mode will have more cutscenes, and unless only the first one gets voice acting, I think we'll be seeing plenty more of it, and I will laugh my ass off if the only character without a single line of voiced dialogue is link.... although there are plenty other characters in smash known for being silent or otherwise not having previous voice work.
Oh wait, if there is a "movies" sub section then that likely means there at least 2-3 more high quality cutscenes like this one.... OOOOOOOOOHHHHHH god someone hold my hype I can't contain it!
Is everyone not talking about how Sonic and Palutena are the only ones who tried to save someone? (Sonic slowing down for Pikachu and Palutena controlling the Power of Light for both Pit and Dark Pit.)
I'm still hoping that she's still in These Spirits replaced trophies right? Well Mewtwo and Lucas had trophies... but they became dlc... So..... I still have hope
The splash text in the European Direct actually does say "Piranha Plant Joins the Battle!" That would've been perfect here literally after Tom says it word-for-word.
even to this day, Tom's stunned silence throughout the entirety of the Piranha Plant trailer, followed by the extremely confused and exasperated "HUH?!" at the end is still my favorite reaction to its reveal
It's not. It's considered separate. You get it for free for buying digital and/or registering your physical copy before a certain date, and it's paid after that point if you don't already have it.
Remember, Piranha Plant isn't part of the Fighters Pass. Sakurai said that they'll be a mystery for now. So there's still five more DLC fighters to go.
apparently when kirby disapeared he acually went to another dimension for a while. that’s why he didnt get affected. atleast thats what i’ve heard my friend tell me.
Spring Man wasn't a fighter cuz he was in a game that came out after the planning stage of Ultimate. Excluding Incineroar, no character from games that came out after 2015 could be fighters, as he explains with Rex
I just noticed they said Rex didn't quite make the cast which means they had plans and just because his skin can be used on a mii does not mean he can't be DLC because there are other mii uniforms of other characters like chrom
35:42 Sakurai:"Why? That's what they all asked me. Why that thing... Why The Piranha Plant? Why, of all the characters, did I decide to make a fighter the one whose mobility is as low as its fandom? Because I'm a madman, that's why!"
![Quando Rondo - Grow Up [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/8zFnCg3BO4Q/mqdefault.jpg)
Tom: *laughs* Piranha Plant joins the battle!
*it actually happens*
Tom: .............HUH???
He thought it was a item xD
We ALL were thinking it.
I think Tom became a meme during that bit
We could've gotten literally anyone else and it would've been better.
"Why Piranha Plant of ALL things!"
Tom's complete confusion about Piranha Plant is amazing.
When I first saw that...I'm just like Tom and wondering "HUH?" But to be fair, it should be fun to play with him. It is a gimmick fighter.
@@soulstunner Definitely a joke character
He's like, "Haha, Piranha plant joins the battle."
He actually joins.
* visible confusion *
I'm right there with him.
That’s provably the right reaction to it
I Agree 100%
33:53

Tom's confused and hits himself for 1 hp
"a Confusion move"

The reaction that we were waiting for.
nice reaction!
inb4 he immediately work on the next game.
Someone at Nintendo was messing around with piranha plant as a joke sakurai saw and liked it
Sounds more like "Fuck Waluigi, piranha plant is more worthy"
His moveset is actually really cool. Honestly, don't really know what they'd be able to do for Waluigi, since he pretty much only shows up for tennis.
His moveset isn't impossible, but it would be hard. It would have to be very sports based. There's still a chance he could be a part of the DLC though.
@@Rexcalibar Possibly. He IS an assist trophy, though. That's pretty much an open rejection by Sakurai's standards. And honestly I'd rather him not be a part of the 5 DLC characters.
Maybe Waluigi would have a double role like Rathalos, being the first character to be as both an assist trophy and as a playable fighter.
Praise Sakurai, he needs a LOOOOONG vacation after this ends.
we should all crowdsource a vacation for him
@@gary5 Isn't that why everyone's buying the game. So he can go on vacation?
@@jhart6764 Yep that's why. lol

@@balybonestealer3709 I know
I think a really cool detail in the final cutscene, was that when Palutena was vaporized, Pit and Dark Pit lost their power of flight. You'd expect it to happen, but it's a detail that they didn't have to show.

@@nathan6755 You can still buy it after that, but it's better if you get it for free by buying the game before 31. January
Not one of the main dlc's, there's no stage so it isn't one of the 5. It really is just a nice bonus
Darkus Omegus I think he means he's not part of the fighter pack. As they also said they haven't started developing any of the fighter pack yet.
The Direct honestly had me saying "Excuse me?" every few minutes. not necessarily a bad thing.
Ken - "Wow! Excuse me?"
Incineroar - "Wait! Excuse me?"
"Incineroar, our last fighter" - "Excuse me? Last?"
Trophies won't come back - "What?! Excuse me?"

Yeah, Arms probably falls into the same category as XC2, just a little too late out of development to make the planning stage
Sakurai said in a Famitsu column that the planning stage was in late 2015, so the roster was probably finalized between late 2015-early 2016
Pirahna Plant: That's what you get for joking around!

...you can hear the dial tone in his head when Piranha Plant is confirmed.

I don't think Piranha Plant is one of the 5 DLCs
It's not. It's considered separate. You get it for free for buying digital and/or registering your physical copy before a certain date, and it's paid after that point if you don't already have it.
"Piranha Plant joints the battle!"
*Actually gets revealed as a character*
*Complete silence from Tom*
"................HUH?!"
33:28 and at that moment Tom's mind exploded into Oblivion
I need that "HUH?!" sound to be my text tone lmao
40:18 ... Wow, Dude. What a good way to cheer up a Shantae fan.
Lmao Toms reaction to Piranha Plant was soooo funny but i was confused as well and dying of laughter from that as well
41:36 The exact moment I joined the stream after I watched it on my own. Also your reactions were priceless.
3:18 Incineroar is Fire/Dark.
6:15 It fits with original Revenge from Pokémon, which doubles in power if you move after your opponent.
You know what I just learned while looking stuff up? Every Poke Ball Pokemon from Smash 4 will be summonable in this game too!
Tom, when Kirby uses the Warp Star, he can switch himself out of existence. He did that. That's why he didn't die.
*WE THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE HEAT DEATH OF THE UNIVERSE*
*BUT NO!, IT WAS HANDS!*
Remember, Piranha Plant isn't part of the Fighters Pass. Sakurai said that they'll be a mystery for now. So there's still five more DLC fighters to go.
apparently when kirby disapeared he acually went to another dimension for a while. that’s why he didnt get affected. atleast thats what i’ve heard my friend tell me.
I like how the direct at the beginning was like "no foreplay! We're straight rawing this right now!"
Spring Man wasn't a fighter cuz he was in a game that came out after the planning stage of Ultimate. Excluding Incineroar, no character from games that came out after 2015 could be fighters, as he explains with Rex
I just noticed they said Rex didn't quite make the cast which means they had plans and just because his skin can be used on a mii does not mean he can't be DLC because there are other mii uniforms of other characters like chrom
The “gnaw-some” part had me cracking up, haha.
I am so excited for this. I will be buying a Switch in December and will be getting Smash with it
Remember when Piranha Plant was the weirdest character addition to SSBU?
Ahh.. Those were the days...
Bsck when society existed
“Piranha Plant Joins The Battle!” /s
*over a full minute of bewildered silence*
35:42
Sakurai:"Why? That's what they all asked me. Why that thing... Why The Piranha Plant? Why, of all the characters, did I decide to make a fighter the one whose mobility is as low as its fandom? Because I'm a madman, that's why!"
Special smash is in the game! They talked about it last direct!
Jokes about Piranha Plant being a fighter. **Frozen in shock.** ”Huh?!”
XD
So funny to see Elton John reacting to Smash xD
As soon as I saw the Ray MK III outfit for the Gunner, I was SO fucking excited. I really hope they revive the Custom Robot series somehow ;3;
"Pirhana plant joins the battle" Tom is psychic confirmed
Hope you enjoyed that cutscene, there's only 1 cutscene for World of Light, apparently.
41:10 It's happened before. The credits for brawl show the words are lyrics in another language
That ".......HUH?!?!" still cracks me up lol.
33:10 "everybody's dead"
if only he knew what would happen next
26:10 I completely forgot you were the same guy who made Smash Fighter. Haven't checked out that series in a long time haha.
Its been many years, but Curry Man finally has someone to use his Fired Championship contract on. Watch out Incineroar
so smash ultimate is the ff we deserved long ago... what a wonderful time to be alive xD
DLC character will be the Hunter from Monster Hunter, there is no way they will add a Monster Hunter Map without its character, that or a Palico
33:30 Tom.exe has stopped working. Would you like to close application?
