1 00:00:02,870 --> 00:00:07,270 So Nintendo has finally revealed the entire roster for Super Smash Brother Ultimate. 2 00:00:07,270 --> 00:00:09,370 And it’s fucking garbage! 3 00:00:09,370 --> 00:00:13,280 I can’t believe Nintendo left out so many amazing characters that would be perfect for 4 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:14,840 Smash Bros. 5 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:16,240 But there is still hope. 6 00:00:16,240 --> 00:00:20,599 Nintendo has also announced that there will be additional DLC characters as well. 7 00:00:20,599 --> 00:00:23,579 In fact, they already revealed one of them. 8 00:00:23,579 --> 00:00:24,579 Piranha Plant. 9 00:00:24,579 --> 00:00:26,860 I applaud Nintendo for this choice. 10 00:00:26,860 --> 00:00:31,990 It’s great to see them add a character so controversial, yet so brave? 11 00:00:31,990 --> 00:00:34,480 Clearly Sakurai’s mind is one above our own. 12 00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:38,650 While I doubt we could ever come to fathom the depth of Sakurai’s intellect, this character 13 00:00:38,650 --> 00:00:41,760 does give us a window into the madman’s mind. 14 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,949 There are five DLC characters left to be announced, and given all of the evidence that has piled 15 00:00:45,949 --> 00:00:50,750 up over the last few months, I think we have a pretty good chance at guessing who is left. 16 00:00:50,750 --> 00:00:54,940 So without further ado, here are my predictions for the Smash Ultimate DLC roster. 17 00:00:59,710 --> 00:01:04,300 Sakurai has been feeding us hints about new characters during every direct we have had. 18 00:01:04,309 --> 00:01:07,980 During the E3 Direct, we could see a barrel and a rope ladder in the room where Sakurai 19 00:01:07,980 --> 00:01:09,180 was talking. 20 00:01:09,180 --> 00:01:13,190 This was obviously a hint at King K Rool being a character in Smash. 21 00:01:13,190 --> 00:01:17,730 During the August 8th direct, there were two chairs in the background, one yellow and one 22 00:01:17,730 --> 00:01:18,840 purple. 23 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,980 No one really knew what this meant at first. 24 00:01:20,980 --> 00:01:25,350 People thought it was Waluigi, or maybe Rayman, or even Skull Kid. 25 00:01:25,350 --> 00:01:29,660 Looking back at it now, it was so blatantly obvious who the chairs were referring to that 26 00:01:29,660 --> 00:01:31,310 I won’t even bother repeating it. 27 00:01:31,310 --> 00:01:33,470 But what about the November direct? 28 00:01:33,470 --> 00:01:36,060 What secret did Sakurai leave for us this time? 29 00:01:36,060 --> 00:01:40,200 Well, did you happen to notice this Japanese man hidden right in front of the camera. 30 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,760 I honestly can’t believe I missed it the first time watching. 31 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,900 But what does a Japanese man hint at? 32 00:01:44,900 --> 00:01:50,110 Well, I did some research and it turns out that the game Super Mario Bros. was actually 33 00:01:50,110 --> 00:01:52,410 made by a Japanese man. 34 00:01:52,410 --> 00:01:58,640 Now my Japanese is a little rusty but I believe his name is pronounced SHAGGY-ROO Bicycle 35 00:01:58,640 --> 00:01:59,640 Pump. 36 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,460 Anyway, it turns out this Super Mario Bros game is actually the game that Piranha Plant 37 00:02:04,460 --> 00:02:05,700 originated from. 38 00:02:05,700 --> 00:02:07,180 Coincidence? 39 00:02:07,180 --> 00:02:08,440 No. 40 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,930 People have rightly pointed out that Piranha Plant itself must be hinting at another character 41 00:02:12,930 --> 00:02:17,010 in the game, because why would Sakurai put a fucking piranha plant in the game for no 42 00:02:17,010 --> 00:02:18,090 fucking reason? 43 00:02:18,090 --> 00:02:22,319 Some people think that Piranha Plant is hinting at Geno’s inclusion, because there was some 44 00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:29,319 ad for Super Mario RPG in Japan with some singing piranha plants or some shit, I don’t 45 00:02:29,319 --> 00:02:30,319 know. 46 00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:33,129 It’s a pretty solid theory, I will admit, but listen to this. 47 00:02:33,129 --> 00:02:36,060 Remember that obscure Mario game I mentioned earlier? 48 00:02:36,060 --> 00:02:37,870 The one that had Piranha Plant in it? 49 00:02:37,870 --> 00:02:42,150 Well, Piranha Plant isn’t even the first enemy you see in that game, it’s the second. 50 00:02:42,150 --> 00:02:43,450 The first one is actually Goomba. 51 00:02:43,450 --> 00:02:47,320 So I think it’s safe to say that Goomba is going to be our first DLC character. 52 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,420 Now let’s talk about leaks. 53 00:02:52,420 --> 00:02:56,800 Super Smash Bros Ultimate has had tons of leaks all over the internet. 54 00:02:56,819 --> 00:02:58,829 And most of them have been shit. 55 00:02:58,829 --> 00:03:03,519 But there is one leaker who has constantly been proven right time and again. 56 00:03:03,519 --> 00:03:04,519 Vergeben. 57 00:03:04,519 --> 00:03:08,379 He correctly leaked Cat, Dog, Snake, and Bird. 58 00:03:08,379 --> 00:03:13,579 This person clearly has some insider information, and they have said that a Square Enix character 59 00:03:13,579 --> 00:03:16,549 will be coming to Smash as DLC. 60 00:03:16,549 --> 00:03:20,430 So I played through every single game Square Enix has ever made to find a character worthy 61 00:03:20,430 --> 00:03:23,160 of being included in Smash Bros. 62 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:24,100 And I couldn’t find any. 63 00:03:24,620 --> 00:03:28,580 So I’m guessing they are going to just use a character from Super Mario RPG, since the 64 00:03:28,580 --> 00:03:31,719 Mario franchise is pretty underrepresented in Smash as it is. 65 00:03:31,719 --> 00:03:34,799 I don’t really know who they would pick. 66 00:03:34,799 --> 00:03:38,069 None of the characters really stand out to me. 67 00:03:38,069 --> 00:03:39,660 Maybe Mallow? 68 00:03:39,660 --> 00:03:41,040 Yeah, Mallow. 69 00:03:44,220 --> 00:03:47,540 There are shit ton of characters in Smash Ultimate. 70 00:03:47,540 --> 00:03:48,960 Too many, in fact. 71 00:03:48,969 --> 00:03:52,530 When people first pick up the game, it’s going to be incredibly hard to know where 72 00:03:52,530 --> 00:03:53,530 to even start. 73 00:03:53,530 --> 00:03:56,620 It also doesn’t help that none of the characters are very relatable. 74 00:03:56,620 --> 00:04:00,129 I don’t know what it’s like to be an Italian plumber who eats mushrooms. 75 00:04:00,129 --> 00:04:03,230 I’m not physically fit in any way, shape or form. 76 00:04:03,230 --> 00:04:07,220 I don’t even know what the fuck is going on with this character. 77 00:04:07,220 --> 00:04:11,950 It seems to me like Smash Bros needs to have a character that people can relate to. 78 00:04:11,950 --> 00:04:16,859 So I scoured the entire Nintendo franchise to try and find a character that best represented 79 00:04:16,859 --> 00:04:19,489 the average Smash Bros fan. 80 00:04:19,489 --> 00:04:20,840 And I think I found him. 81 00:04:20,840 --> 00:04:21,840 Baby Mario. 82 00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:26,889 I don’t really know why, but whenever I browse Smash related Reddit threads, YouTube 83 00:04:26,889 --> 00:04:32,770 comments or GameFAQ posts, I’m always reminded of Baby Mario for some reason. 84 00:04:32,770 --> 00:04:35,360 It’s the weirdest thing, to be honest. 85 00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:43,380 Now, who says these DLC characters have to even be from a pre-existing Nintendo game? 86 00:04:43,389 --> 00:04:46,680 You see, this is the problem with Smash speculation. 87 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,710 There are all these rules people come up with that aren’t really rules, they are just 88 00:04:50,710 --> 00:04:51,710 patterns. 89 00:04:51,710 --> 00:04:54,540 “New fighters have to be relevant” until they aren’t. 90 00:04:54,540 --> 00:04:58,759 “A third party can’t have two fighters!” until they do. 91 00:04:58,759 --> 00:05:01,569 So why does Nintendo have to add pre-existing characters? 92 00:05:01,569 --> 00:05:05,530 That’s why I think we’ll be seeing a brand new character added to Smash. 93 00:05:05,530 --> 00:05:07,759 Dr. Baby Mario. 94 00:05:07,759 --> 00:05:11,050 Now before you even say it, I know. 95 00:05:11,050 --> 00:05:14,630 Sakurai said that the DLC characters won’t be echo fighters. 96 00:05:14,630 --> 00:05:18,349 But I didn’t say that Dr. Baby Mario would be an echo fighter, did I? 97 00:05:18,349 --> 00:05:20,699 Let’s look at Dr. Mario. 98 00:05:20,699 --> 00:05:22,370 How is he different from Mario? 99 00:05:22,370 --> 00:05:28,690 Well, he’s slightly shorter, slightly more powerful, slightly slower, and he has a different 100 00:05:28,690 --> 00:05:29,940 down Special. 101 00:05:29,940 --> 00:05:32,139 Now what attributes can echo fighters have? 102 00:05:32,139 --> 00:05:36,900 Well, they can have slightly different heights, slightly different power levels, slightly 103 00:05:36,900 --> 00:05:40,240 different speeds, and they can have different Special moves. 104 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:46,259 So Dr. Mario is clearly not an echo of Mario, meaning Dr. Baby Mario doesn’t have to be 105 00:05:46,259 --> 00:05:48,330 an echo of Baby Mario. 106 00:05:48,330 --> 00:05:50,480 Checkmate, atheists. 107 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:57,220 Let’s go back to December 26, 2016. 108 00:05:57,220 --> 00:06:02,539 On that fateful day, Sakurai held an interview with Denfaminicogamer. 109 00:06:02,539 --> 00:06:08,110 This interview took place in Sakurai’s house, where he had a few collectibles lying around. 110 00:06:08,110 --> 00:06:13,419 Sakurai explained that he often purchased toys to use as references when making games. 111 00:06:13,419 --> 00:06:18,889 The interviewer pointed out one of Sakurai’s toys, a mech from the 1983 anime series Galactic 112 00:06:18,889 --> 00:06:20,270 Drifter Vifam. 113 00:06:20,270 --> 00:06:25,669 According to Sakurai, he purchased this toy in order to use the included rifle as reference 114 00:06:25,669 --> 00:06:27,569 for a game he was working on. 115 00:06:27,569 --> 00:06:32,220 Sakurai obviously used this rifle as reference for a new character in Smash. 116 00:06:32,220 --> 00:06:36,620 There is literally no other possible explanation in the universe. 117 00:06:36,620 --> 00:06:42,139 There’s no way Sakurai could have used this for a different game, or for an assist trophy. 118 00:06:42,139 --> 00:06:46,480 And it’s completely impossible that he just didn’t actually use it. 119 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,229 So where is the rifle, dear viewer? 120 00:06:49,229 --> 00:06:56,139 None of the new characters so far use rifles, so this toy must be for our last DLC fighter. 121 00:06:56,140 --> 00:07:02,380 So, what character in the entire Nintendo canon could Sakurai possibly be planning on 122 00:07:02,380 --> 00:07:03,420 adding into the game? 123 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,860 Well, isn’t it obvious? 124 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,900 So yeah, there’s my predictions. 125 00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:23,460 Best $25 bucks I ever spent.
