These "pointless" facts are extra interesting now that Sakurai revealed in a video that he doesn't really encourage his employees to add minor details, but they just do it anyway. Some texture artist probably spent their afternoon looking up Anglo-Saxon runes just to put an easter egg on Hero's sword.
Those details might be more about stages, especially Nintendo first parties. I would bet Hero's character design was seen by a thousand eyes, so not really something you can add to spontaneously.
They probably hire people that are interested in video games (Toby Fox being a big example) So yeah, if you where a Nintendo fanboy working on Smash Bros you would also add tiny details like that
I think for some reason, Nintendo took advantage of Plant being first party, and didn't tell a single soul about it, including whatever company makes the CG trailers. I'd say they made it in-house which is why it looks bootleg, but they tried their best to replicate the splash-screen, but maybe didn't know the exact font.
@@velvetbutterflyin that case though there’s the energy type already that fits the look and lore better, while terry’s projectile doesn’t really look like anything other than fire
Hence the name "Terry", right? I guess his name's a reference to the word "terra", makes sense that he can channel energy from the Earth. That's a very neat detail there, I didn't know he could do that
@@sodajerk.7479 I mean, Terry is just a Japanese Stereotype of an "American Fighter", I think it's just a very lucky coincidence. Still cool that you put 2+2 together
piranha plant main here; having a triple jump would allow for so much more pressure potential I think. up air is a good juggle tool as it is, especially with the danger of ptooie as a follow up not to mention how much better f-air would become due to how you could catch someone from practically anywhere I think it'd make plant a good deal better, all in all, a big shame it got removed last minute
I kinda wonder why Piranha Plant was planned to get a third jump, maybe the animation for the third jump in the files is a placeholder that they just never bothered with Since it wouldn't make much sense for Plant to have 3 jumps as is, even if they are pretty wacky, maybe that animation placeholder was meant to be a stand in for referencing another Piranha Plant species
@@cjlite0210 I guess I can see that, but I think it'd fit her kit fairly well While it wouldn't be built around the third jump, it'd make for a lot of interesting applications. Back air especially would be more viable for things like frame traps, or even just general use Down b would be amazing at covering several angles. You can just use it again if it misses A lot of small things that would bump this character up a few pegs
Piranha plant can get edgegarded real easy so having 3 jumps allows things to become a lot easier. Also up air and ptooie gets real scary really high up.
Wouldn't really all characters benefit from an extra jump? Sure, Kirby and Jigglypuff wouldn't get that much out of it, but having one more still is nice than not having it.
@@Liggliluff Falco, Sora, Luigi, or Yoshi would get huge recovery boosts with a third jump (Sora and Falco really don't need it tho lol, they're already great for the air)
Actually, the clapping opponents never show up in teams, no matter how long you wait. Took me a while to discover this too, i guess i don't really play teams battles at all.
Fun fact: if Byleth is holding an item and then turns around while charging his bow, the item will appear at the arrow tip. It’s purely visual and has no effect, but I’ve never seen anyone mention it before.
Piranha plant having an extra jump in my opinion would legitimately bump him up a tier or two. It would make his edge guarding even better than it is and allow him to get better low or mid damage combos. I’m a piranha plant main and I’m mad they changed that.
Although I knew about the piranha plant footstool attack, it would be interesting to do a series with somewhat uncommon facts such as how snake's upsmash doesn't increase damage with charge. Something that is known but not reviewed often.
I know a bit about 3D modelling - Characters usually have an A pose if the modeler decides that their shoulders need more detail than their underarms. Obviously, whichever you choose is going to result in more detail in one and more of a low-poly, stretchy effect on the other. Terry has huge muscle-y shoulders Byleth has a coat with big shoulderpads. Mythra is a special case, it looks like if she were t-posing, her shoulder spikes would clip into her long hair. Pyra has shorter hair and shorter shoulder spikes that just barely don't clip when she's t-posing. That's my best guess.
A note on the Hero (and other) taunt timing differences - if you look at when the Slime spawns, it seems like the Taunt animations are perfectly synched regardless of turnaround, and it's the blend back to idle that takes up the extra time. So it's not turning to face the camera that's adding extra frames - they account for that /w blend times - it's the turning back away from it.
Funny thing for the Banjo fact with superpspicy curry is that this also happens with Piranha Plant... technically. Since it's head has to expel the flames, if you use down special, the flames will actually follow it's mouth.
For the piranha plant crouch attack, I didn’t know about it until about a week ago when I actually did it to my friend (whilst charging up my down special)… I’m a piranha plant main.
I feel they used the generic font specifically so that if it were to have leaked before the announcement went live, people would point to the font mismatch as evidence that it was a fake, which seems very much in line with how everyone reacted when they first saw it XD
Honestly, as a plant main.... I can see why they programmed a third jump. It makes sense with the rest of his kit and would single handedly make his recovery among the better, instead of competing for one of the worst competitively.
About the taunt facing things, I’ve always noticed that Captain Falcon’s down taunt is almost completely different depending on where he is facing, with him looking left being much faster and a bit more stylish in my opinion than when he is facing right.
i don't remember if it's been brought up on the channel before (game's been out for 4 years, god help us) but captain falcon's "show me your moves" taunt is not only shorter when facing left, but it's also slightly different in that he doesn't turn to face the camera, instead simply turning his head and giving a sort of smaller, less "animated" salute i noticed this in smash 4 and the information has remained in my brain since.
I think Plant's footstool attack SHOULD just activate every time it gets footstooled regardless of if it's crouching or not, only exception being if it's in an attack/taunt animation (yes even in the air)
@@Casual_PKBeats God dammit the one important word that needed to be written in my comment was *should* lol sorry. I think it would be cool if if it did
Ah, that makes more sense! Yeah I think having it happen for any footstools would give Piranha Plant a SUPER interesting dynamic, that'd be really cool
I actually used to spend a lot of my time on smash wiki so a lot of the info you go over, I did know. They way you go over and visualize the trivia is fantastic and that is why I watch you, so yea. Great job as usual!
fun fact: back in smash 4, link had probably the strangest reference pose of all time. instead of t-posing or a-posing, he would be depicted bent forward on one knee holding his sword out behind him.
Okay, it may just be me, but when I look at the runes on Erdrick's sword at 10:39, I *swear* the runes spell "Gragon Kuest", instead of "Dragon Kuest" - like, they wanted to use the Dæg rune (ᛞ, which stands for the letter D), but instead used the Geofu rune (ᚷ, standing for the letter H). From the timestamped depiction, the first rune is identical to the fourth one, and is missing the vertical lines Dæg has. And as for the spelling of "Kuest" instead of "Quest" - it's a matter of Anglo-Saxon runes not having a glyph for "Q", so "Ku" is substituted. So like, yeah, seems like it's actually the Gragon Quest sword.
38th, Love you, PKBeats! Edit: I am a Piranha Plant main, and having a 3rd jump would be a massive buff since we could do up air strings to get more damage in combos into the spike ball, and it'd help mix up falling onto stage because we tend to struggle with that since we have few options, and it'd buff our recovery which is already great, but it doesn't mean if our opponent has a counter we're just dead, so it'd get him out of the E Tier spot very easily and maybe place him in low C
For the longest time, I’ve heard about Piranha Plant being able to counterattack footstools from its opponents, but I never get to trigger it, or know how to do it. It was until now that I realized that this only triggers when crouching. It would be useful if it wasn’t a mechanic only for crouching, but as a quick “get off me” attack any time Plant gets footstooled, especially in the air.
I remember one time ultimate accidentally gave Daisy Peach's smash 4 turnips in a patch so I think they might just have old code lying around from prior builds that make their way into updates.
Hello, one of the 4 plant mains here. An extra jump would be incredible for juggling and mix up for disadvantage (being juggled and recovery) I don’t know why from a design perspective they considered this though. But since characters can just go high enough to avoid certain moves, this would be great against characters who can just simply go high.
Captain Falcon also has a faster left facing taunt than right facing. When he does his iconic salute, if he's facing right he faces the camera before saluting. When facing left he immediately salutes facing the opposite direction. It's not a small difference either, the left facing taunt is significantly faster.
As a plant main, an extra jump would be huge as it could increase the juggling capacity and potential kill options thanks to ball and the extra mix-ups for landing would be nice
I Discovered a Glitch In Training Mode, Play Olimar Then Go to The Edge of Tortimer Island and Remove All Your Pikmin and Spam Olimar’s Neutral B and You Will Have 3 Blue Pikmin (Specifically Some Where Near the Water)
never heard of the piranha plant fact about footstooling him, i think it can be useful if you somehow manage to read that your opponent will fakeout a landing so you crouch to get a faster up smash. or maybe it has some super niche uses in doubles to send your teammate flying for whatever reason, and you want the particular knockback given by the move or whatnot.
As a Piranha Plant main, yes a jump would be immensely helpful. They have a surprising amount of pressure while in the air and extending that would be great. Also just the edgeguard potential in general would be just nuts with what it already has
Piranha plant having an extra jump would allow for some solid mixup in neutral landing, and spacing. It would make him just better but potentially by a decent margin. An extra jump is no joke
Extra jump with the plant has a number of possibilities bruh... The edge guardging, on top of her insane recovery and its something i totally would fish for, for fun, is knockback high up, triple jump and neutral b. That extra boost upwards in the distance, would make neutral b deadly lol.
If I had to associate Power Wave and Power Geyser to an element it would be earth's energy so I think it's natural those moves don't have a fire property.
As someone who's main practice partner is a plant main, i think it would be a massive change for the character, fair chains would be more safe; you could use the third jump to recover, uair chains would be longer, and you have better movement, amplified with b-reverse and wavebounce side-b. I am not, however a plant main; i play ridley, so maybe i'm wrong
Piranha Plant main here, a third jump would really play into his strengths. Plant’s recovery is great in terms of how far it goes, but it can leave you especially vulnerable since it hits from the side and has nothing to cover his top. I get around this by stalling in the air with his neutral and down specials, but having an extra jump to trip up would-be ledge trappers would be nice. Having an extra jump would also help out his off-stage pressure. Plant already has a great ledge trapping game, but having more options to box people off the stage would always be welcome. Plant off-stage is alright, but you can’t reliably use his forward, down, or back air because of the end lag they have, having another jump could possibly mitigate that. It might also give Plant actual good combos. Man I’m kinda peeved they cut that extra jump out now
Remember that silhouette glitch a while back? I was watching the video and had the idea to use a free camera mod to try and mess around- I don’t even know where to start in modding a switch, but I think it could be something to look into
the left-facing vs right-facing taunt issue reminds me of the most unhinged smash bros video on youtube : "Left Cloud BEATS Right Cloud. Yes, really." by Whydo. It's an incredible watch, and I'd like it if PK Beats went over other oddities in attacks depending on the side you're facing in a future video, I think it has great potential !
Fun fact, one of Byleth's victory screen animations might a reference to the game over screen of Three Houses. The game over screen has all of the weapons he uses in Smash stuck haphazardly into the ground, and his victory animation in Smash has him sticking them in the ground in front of you. Could just be a coincidence, but it's not like you ever see his bow stuck in the ground any other time in Three Houses or in Smash Bros, so I think it's fair to say this is an intentional nod. Which is cool, it's like Byleth is demonstrating to his opponents "You lost."
Extra-Jump Plant would be AWESOME. Plant struggles with close recoveries due to the fact that the UpB is so so so so so slow and vulnerable. It would also be useful for combos, neutral b edgeguarding shenanigans and would give a meaning to the shit move that is Plant's Back-Air (unusable off stage without risking your whole life)
As a plant gang member, the triple jump would give plant a lot more air mobility for some beefy up-air kills. His combo game wouldn't change too much but the throws + air attacks would benefit a lot. But then to justify it, they'd have to look into nerfing damage/knockback on other moves and I think they just didn't want to bother. He's gotten so few buffs or changes since launch anyways though, it would;ve made for a more unique character than who we got IMO.
Piranha Plant is generally considered to be one of the worst characters in the game (just look at any community tier list!), and honestly, a third jump would be pretty terrific for any character in the game to have; it'd literally just expand your options and flexibility in an extremely straightforward way, and I think it would have made Plant stick out as a unique fighter that much more. Shame they removed it.
5:13 Hi, I didn't know about the Plant footstool attack. I also didn't know about Minmin's grab powering up her dragon arm, even though I watched the showcase 😅
Isnt another way to check somethings element is to see if it can kill an specific Pikmin, for example red pikmins are immune to fire so if a move can kill it, it wount be a fire attack
I noticed that for Piranha Plant's character select screen render, every other alt is moved down by a single pixel for whatever reason. You can notice it when swapping between them
An extra jump would make up air combos a lot better for Plant, probably enabling it to take stocks pretty quick and giving it a better combo game. It would also make disadvantage way better, an extra jump would be super good as a mixup tool along with b reverse side b and various stalling moves
Triple jump would make plant even MORE impossible to edge guard, and become even MORE of an edgeguarding god himself. Honestly would make him high tier.
5:13 Not only does he have a footstool attack, there is an entire google doc dedicated specifically to what characters can punish it and how.
There's a fact I didn't know...
It’s also really funny, including memes in it too.
Fox’s down-b, AKA shine punishes it, and it says “this is melee now.”
@@frog5961 Every single character with a counter can successfully use it after the footstool.

Its an interesting theory but you forget that the Smash 4 DLCs used the correct font while they were made in-game with no CG.
i love how Left Cloud vs Right Cloud just lives rent free in the mind of everybody in the smash community. Thanks WhyDo
As for Terry's attack not having a fire effect. I think that's because in KoF/FF lore, he can channel energy from the Earth itself.
Similar to how the Hadoken isn't fire either.

Plant having an extra jump wild make him so much better, he’d would be so terrifying to get juggled by and would have an extremely oppressive air game
Byleth weapons are pretty much made out of bones, so maybe that’s why they have a different smash charging sound.
Most heavy hitter smash attacks use that sound
Honestly, as a plant main.... I can see why they programmed a third jump. It makes sense with the rest of his kit and would single handedly make his recovery among the better, instead of competing for one of the worst competitively.
one of the worst is heavy overexaggeration he has a good recovery
@@notanerd6838his recovery is hella predictable, so easy to 2 frame
@@reason9262 so is a bunch of other recoveries that have less than half the distance and worse hitboxes and higher end lag on landing on stage

About the taunt facing things, I’ve always noticed that Captain Falcon’s down taunt is almost completely different depending on where he is facing, with him looking left being much faster and a bit more stylish in my opinion than when he is facing right.
So for the Anglo-Saxon runes, the reason Quest is spelled with a K is because the letter Q doesn’t have a rune.

The edge guardging, on top of her insane recovery and its something i totally would fish for, for fun, is knockback high up, triple jump and neutral b.
That extra boost upwards in the distance, would make neutral b deadly lol.
I actually didn't know about that footstool mechanic until now!
If I had to associate Power Wave and Power Geyser to an element it would be earth's energy so I think it's natural those moves don't have a fire property.
As someone who's main practice partner is a plant main, i think it would be a massive change for the character, fair chains would be more safe; you could use the third jump to recover, uair chains would be longer, and you have better movement, amplified with b-reverse and wavebounce side-b. I am not, however a plant main; i play ridley, so maybe i'm wrong
Piranha Plant main here, a third jump would really play into his strengths. Plant’s recovery is great in terms of how far it goes, but it can leave you especially vulnerable since it hits from the side and has nothing to cover his top. I get around this by stalling in the air with his neutral and down specials, but having an extra jump to trip up would-be ledge trappers would be nice. Having an extra jump would also help out his off-stage pressure. Plant already has a great ledge trapping game, but having more options to box people off the stage would always be welcome. Plant off-stage is alright, but you can’t reliably use his forward, down, or back air because of the end lag they have, having another jump could possibly mitigate that. It might also give Plant actual good combos. Man I’m kinda peeved they cut that extra jump out now
Remember that silhouette glitch a while back? I was watching the video and had the idea to use a free camera mod to try and mess around- I don’t even know where to start in modding a switch, but I think it could be something to look into
4:50 I am a mix between “yeah okay” and “THATS A THING”, it makes sense but it is unexpected to the point of “wait what” as opposed to “meh”
14:10 that shuffle looks so janky lol
would have looked easier if he walked first with our rightmost leg
As a plant main, a triple jump would be godly, up air + spike ball combos boutta go crazy
Also up special gimmicks
the left-facing vs right-facing taunt issue reminds me of the most unhinged smash bros video on youtube : "Left Cloud BEATS Right Cloud. Yes, really." by Whydo. It's an incredible watch, and I'd like it if PK Beats went over other oddities in attacks depending on the side you're facing in a future video, I think it has great potential !
Well nevermind you just thumbnail-dropped the Whydo video at the end lol, I was too impatient oops
Fun fact, one of Byleth's victory screen animations might a reference to the game over screen of Three Houses. The game over screen has all of the weapons he uses in Smash stuck haphazardly into the ground, and his victory animation in Smash has him sticking them in the ground in front of you.
Could just be a coincidence, but it's not like you ever see his bow stuck in the ground any other time in Three Houses or in Smash Bros, so I think it's fair to say this is an intentional nod. Which is cool, it's like Byleth is demonstrating to his opponents "You lost."
Piranha plant's font is a reference to the fact that Mario games have letters
Extra-Jump Plant would be AWESOME. Plant struggles with close recoveries due to the fact that the UpB is so so so so so slow and vulnerable. It would also be useful for combos, neutral b edgeguarding shenanigans and would give a meaning to the shit move that is Plant's Back-Air (unusable off stage without risking your whole life)
As a plant gang member, the triple jump would give plant a lot more air mobility for some beefy up-air kills. His combo game wouldn't change too much but the throws + air attacks would benefit a lot. But then to justify it, they'd have to look into nerfing damage/knockback on other moves and I think they just didn't want to bother. He's gotten so few buffs or changes since launch anyways though, it would;ve made for a more unique character than who we got IMO.
5:42 Fun fact: If with mods you play with Master Hand in the Boxing Ring, his name will appear with the phrase "the puppeteer".
0:50 Yes. Metroid Prime, in fact.
15:30 That's because your opponent never even comes up in team battles.
Kirby saying Hero’s moves in Japanese is what I needed for today
As a plant main, a third jump wouldn't make this character any less ass
Best intro. Love minish cap
Piranha Plant is generally considered to be one of the worst characters in the game (just look at any community tier list!), and honestly, a third jump would be pretty terrific for any character in the game to have; it'd literally just expand your options and flexibility in an extremely straightforward way, and I think it would have made Plant stick out as a unique fighter that much more. Shame they removed it.

Hi, I didn't know about the Plant footstool attack.
I also didn't know about Minmin's grab powering up her dragon arm, even though I watched the showcase 😅
Isnt another way to check somethings element is to see if it can kill an specific Pikmin, for example red pikmins are immune to fire so if a move can kill it, it wount be a fire attack
And fire sets off link's remote bomb
I noticed that for Piranha Plant's character select screen render, every other alt is moved down by a single pixel for whatever reason. You can notice it when swapping between them
piranha plant is pretty good off-stage, having 3 jumps would make it an A tier in edge-guarding
The footstool attack is genius
Minish cap very good 👍
An extra jump would make up air combos a lot better for Plant, probably enabling it to take stocks pretty quick and giving it a better combo game. It would also make disadvantage way better, an extra jump would be super good as a mixup tool along with b reverse side b and various stalling moves
Triple jump would make plant even MORE impossible to edge guard, and become even MORE of an edgeguarding god himself. Honestly would make him high tier.
