Bethany’s observation about Ridley’s parallels to Alien are actually spot on. He was named as a deliberate homage to Ridley Scott, since the Metroid series took heavy inspiration from the Alien films.
Joker's victory poses are a direct reference to the Persona 5 victory screen. He even has a special pose if you win using Final Smash, referencing when in Persona 5 you finish your opponents off with an All-Out Attack.
2:42 Kirby's victory poses are based on his games when he would usually dance at the end of clearing stages and bosses. 34:22 And Min Min is from a fighting game called ARMS that was one of the first games released on the Switch in 2017 where the characters have springy arms and other parts and fight in a boxing-esque format, but Min Min's Smash trailer revealed that they can have human forms with regular arms that they transform from.
Marth, Lucina, Roy, Chrom, Ike, Robin, Corrin, and Byleth are from "Fire Emblem". Fire Emblem is a series of tactical RPGs created by Nintendo with the first games never releasing outside of Japan up until "Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade" or simply known as "Fire Emblem" for the Gameboy Advance (they did launch a cartoon beforehand but was received poorly because no one knew what the series was at the time) Marth and Roy made their first appearances in Smash Bros for the Gamecube before Fire Emblem released for the west. Marth appeared in the first Fire Emblem game The sign with the number "765" for Pac-Man is actually a reference to the arcade game "Pac-Land". Which is not like the maze games but rather a side scroller The black and white Sora is from the Timeless River stage in the second Kingdom Hearts game. Joker's victory themes are from the different Persona games Blue is from Persona 3, Yellow is from P4, and Red is from his game, Persona 5 Fun fact: Joker and the announcer from Smash share the same VA. Xander Mobus
To clear up some confusion at the end, Sans the Skeleton (yes, that is his full name) is from a game called Undertale. And Cuphead is from a game called Cuphead! Edit: I just remembered the perfect suggestion for the next Fight Night Friday! Combat Gods 1 & 2 by Jhanzou! Please consider watching it because it is a GEM of a fighting animation!
Yeah, Pichu is an unevolved Pikachu. Marth is Fire Emblem and an ancestor to Chrom and Lucina, who are father and daughter. Depending on how you play, Robin can become Lucina’s husband or mother, have fun with that. It’s in release order, after Sora you just get specialised Mii Fighters and Bowser Jrs. There’s a part of my brain that will never forget Luigi, Ness, Jigglypuff and Captain Falcon were the unlockable characters in the first game. Sans is from Undertale and beyond that I’m only willing to say PLAY UNDERTALE. Also, Ken’s lucky his video game name sake is a tough guy and a good family man. I have to chose between Fox’s nemesis’s whiny nephew or the guy that caused all the misery in Bioshock. Damn, it’s the edited Steve win screen.
A lot of these poses are an homage to what they do in their own games. And once again, I’m going to suggest “Hades Misguidance” as a reaction series. You get to know more about the characters that the official games would never say about them. Because again, “Hades Misguidance” is a fan-made parody of “Palutena’s Guidance” You already got the attention of the creators of the fan-made one, and they appreciated it. So you’re safe in watching it.
Pichu is the first form of Pikachu, introduced in Pokémon Gold and Silver, it goes Pichu to Pikachu to Raichu. Sheik is the disguise Princess Zelda takes in Ocarina of Time.
27:30-27:36 As you noticed, Ridley's design is based on a Xenomorph, from the Alien franchise. And his name is actually a tribute to Ridley Scott; who directed the original film.
31:45 It’s not lazy, as the Hero of the Dragon Quest games don’t have canon names. Their player has to name them, so their name could go anywhere from “Olgar” to “CupSauce99” to “Jim”
The 4 Heroes are from Dragon Quest, particularly 11, 3, 4, and 8. Since you can name them whatever you want, they went with just "Hero" in Smash. Same thing with "Pokemon Trainer."
okay, to explain Yoshi's third animation. In street fighter, when Akuma does Shun Goku Satsu he strikes that pose at the end. It's an attack that we barely know what happens during it, it's always shrouded in darkness and the only thing you see is the end pose. So I think the joke is, Yoshi beats you so hard in the fight that he can do the end pose.
unfortunately adding any Disney character that isn't originally from Kingdom Hearts (examples being Mickey, Donald, Goofy, and any other disney character with their already existing movie) wasn't allowed in. BUT they did get to keep the Mickey Emblem on the Keyblade which is pretty neat but also probably cost a lot of money lol. And Sheik is from Legend of Zelda. All the characters like Marth, Chrom, Roy, Lucina, Ike, etc are from a nintendo franchise known as Fire Emblem. it's a pretty good series but there are indeed a lot of FE reps, which is more than people really ask for lol.
Gotta love how they gave us the gender bent alts for some of the characters but not the older version of Ike, the gender bent pokemon trainer' victory poses
So, all the characters who had the sword as their opening icon are from the Fire Emblem series of tactical role-playing games (RPGs). One of the biggest complaints in the Smash community is that there are too many Fire Emblem characters since most of them are swordfighters with similar movesets, never really bothered me that much. Fun fact: Lucina (Marth's echo fighter, the one right after him) is voiced in English by Laura Bailey, who plays Vex'ahlia in Legend of Vox Machina (she's part of the Critical Role main cast and is married to Travis Willingham, who plays Grog) and Chrom (Roy's echo fighter, the one after him) is voiced by Matt Mercer, Critical Role's DM and creator of the world of Exandria where Legend of Vox Machina takes place (he also voiced Sylas Briarwood and Umbrasyl along with many minor characters in the show). Also, in case nobody's mentioned it, Sheik is from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64. I don't want to spoil anything if you've never played it, but let's just say he's very close to Princess Zelda 😏
Man it’s painful to see them not know anything about it because it reminds us that despite the games growing exponentially in popularity over the years? We’re still niche by comparison. Darn lol
@@ramenbomberdeluxe4958 Yeah, it sucks that the series doesn't get the love it deserves. But, the good news is the more we talk about it, the better the chance people will find it and give it a try. Even if they don't end up sticking with it, that's one more person who can recommend it to people 😀
31:36 Every Dragonquest game (and the anime) has their own hero character and each has their own name. So they just went with Hero and let the players figure it out from there. Btw. If you need another series to watch, Dragon Quest: The adventure of Dai, is a good one. Also the Dragonquest characterd were designed by Akira Toriyama (who made Dragonball). Rest in Peace.
11:40 "I'm Meta Knight, and you're watching the Disney Channel." Me and my brother would always say how Meta Knight's victory theme sounds like the Disney Channel theme lmao. Love it though!! In terms of music, Pit's and Palutena's, Villager's & Isabelle's, Lucas and Ness's, and Meta Knight's are my faves. In terms of victory poses, Sephiroth's, Mewtwo's, Ridley's, Fox's, Falco's, and Wolf's are my faves.
All the Kirbys victory dances are basicaly the same because when Kirby beats a enemy in basicaly every game he does a dance and it takes like 6 seconds so he cut it im three to make his victory dances also the music it is called Kirbys victory dance too
To explain Sora, it wasn't entirely about the copyrights, but the fact that the Disney characters aren't originally from video games. If they could've made it in with this rule put aside is a different question, but hey, we at least have Mickey's likeness on the keychain.
The Joker wins are from the actual Persona 5 game, whenever you win a battle you get the running one, in mementos (a dungeon like area) you get the van one, and the splash art one is when you finish a battle with Joker's all out attack. The black and white Sora is from Kingdom Heart 2 in a world called Timeless River which takes place during the old cartoons like Steamboat Willy.
Pokemon Trainer has 9 Victory Poses, one for each of the Pokemon you can use in-game (one of your special moves is to switch Squirtle -> Ivysaur -> Charizard -> Squirtle, each with different stats and moves
also just a couple more clarifications! Each character (outside of the Miis) have 8 costumes, so some that repeat are just different costumes Sans the Skeleton is a main NPC from Undertale, a really fun and unique RPG. A lot of people clamored for him as a character, but he got shafted into being a costume for Mii Gunner You can tell what characters are from the same game/series by the symbol; they represent their series
If you want to hear something funny listen to this. You know Isabelle the cute Shi Tzu like character. Yeah people pair her up with Doom Slayer since Doom Eternal and Animal Crossing New Horizons released at the same time. Thus making one of the cutest yet deadly pair with tons of fans from both sides drawing these characters for example Doom teaching Isabelle how to rip and tear.
The reason why Hero is called Hero is because they are from a game series called Dragon Quest which had characters designed by Akira Toriyama himself. In each game you can name the Hero whatever you want yes they have official names but they all can be named whatever you want hence why the use the name Hero. MIn Min is an Arm's fighter, Arm's are humans whose arms can stretch out to incredible ranges. A person can become an Arm's fighter quite literally out of nowhere and a rare few are born with Arms. They wear masks which helps them control their arms.
you guys should watch a video on Fire emblem lore. marth, roy, lucina, robin, and more all are from there. the emblem in the top left tells which game series everyone is from.
From watching these Victory animations, you both have to check out “Glitch Production” version with the creators of company doing the animation in live action 😄 it might be funny to see how they do it and not focus on doing series during the era of SMG4 era of RUclips
@@calvinchapman6157technically he has a name but he’s your standard protagonist that you name, joker would honestly be the same if he didn’t have the code name joker and if it was any other persona protags they would probably be called hero aswell
@@alimuhammad7370 I doubt it since the other Persona MCs have definitive canon names, same case with Robin, Corrin and Byleth. It was probably Square’s decision to name the Dragon Quest protags “Hero”.
@@sonomni true I guess but the fire emblem characters at least make some appearances in other game I’m pretty sure (correct me if I’m wrong) persona protags never return and have 2 names even though in the dancing games it says ren amamiya, makoto yuki but in the dancing games trailers it says hero
Awesome video!! 🔥🔥 If i can recommend, maybe you can react to the supers from Granboue Fantasy Versus: Rising! They are super cinematic! 👍👍 (the super names is Arcanas)

And the blue and yellow representing P3 and P4's main color schemes with blue for P3, yellow for P4, and P5's being red.
Yoshi doing the Akuma pose is classic
Sheik is actually Zelda in disguise, forgot which game though
Disguise
And Ocarina of Time

Ocarina of Time and Hyrule Warriors.
Its Ocarina of time, amazing game!
God I just love the pissing off my friends saying that not Zelda after playing all the games

@ Luminary is a title, not a name. Solo is a nickname. Similar to DQ8’s protagonist being nicknamed by the fandom as “Eight”
