Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.48,0:00:38.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,While I doubt we could ever come to fathom\Nthe depth of Sakurai’s intellect, this character
Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.65,0:00:41.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,does give us a window into the madman’s\Nmind.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.76,0:00:45.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are five DLC characters left to be announced,\Nand given all of the evidence that has piled

Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.31,0:01:33.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But what about the November direct?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.47,0:01:36.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What secret did Sakurai leave for us this\Ntime?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.06,0:01:40.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, did you happen to notice this Japanese\Nman hidden right in front of the camera.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.70,0:02:07.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Coincidence?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.18,0:02:08.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,No.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.44,0:02:12.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,People have rightly pointed out that Piranha\NPlant itself must be hinting at another character
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.93,0:02:17.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the game, because why would Sakurai put\Na fucking piranha plant in the game for no
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.01,0:02:18.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,fucking reason?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.09,0:02:22.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Some people think that Piranha Plant is hinting\Nat Geno’s inclusion, because there was some

Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.32,0:02:33.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It’s a pretty solid theory, I will admit,\Nbut listen to this.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.13,0:02:36.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Remember that obscure Mario game I mentioned\Nearlier?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.06,0:02:37.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The one that had Piranha Plant in it?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.87,0:02:42.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, Piranha Plant isn’t even the first\Nenemy you see in that game, it’s the second.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.15,0:02:43.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The first one is actually Goomba.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.45,0:02:47.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I think it’s safe to say that Goomba\Nis going to be our first DLC character.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.55,0:03:20.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I played through every single game Square\NEnix has ever made to find a character worthy
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.43,0:03:23.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of being included in Smash Bros.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.16,0:03:24.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I couldn’t find any.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.62,0:03:28.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I’m guessing they are going to just use\Na character from Super Mario RPG, since the
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.58,0:03:31.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Mario franchise is pretty underrepresented\Nin Smash as it is.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.72,0:03:34.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don’t really know who they would pick.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.22,0:03:47.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are shit ton of characters in Smash\NUltimate.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.54,0:03:48.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Too many, in fact.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.97,0:03:52.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When people first pick up the game, it’s\Ngoing to be incredibly hard to know where
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.53,0:03:53.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to even start.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.53,0:03:56.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It also doesn’t help that none of the characters\Nare very relatable.

Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.22,0:04:11.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It seems to me like Smash Bros needs to have\Na character that people can relate to.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.95,0:04:16.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I scoured the entire Nintendo franchise\Nto try and find a character that best represented

Dialogue: 0,0:04:32.77,0:04:35.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It’s the weirdest thing, to be honest.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:38.28,0:04:43.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, who says these DLC characters have to\Neven be from a pre-existing Nintendo game?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.39,0:04:46.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You see, this is the problem with Smash speculation.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.68,0:04:50.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are all these rules people come up with\Nthat aren’t really rules, they are just

Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.76,0:05:01.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So why does Nintendo have to add pre-existing\Ncharacters?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:01.57,0:05:05.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That’s why I think we’ll be seeing a brand\Nnew character added to Smash.

Dialogue: 0,0:05:20.70,0:05:22.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How is he different from Mario?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:22.37,0:05:28.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, he’s slightly shorter, slightly more\Npowerful, slightly slower, and he has a different

Dialogue: 0,0:05:29.94,0:05:32.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now what attributes can echo fighters have?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:32.14,0:05:36.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, they can have slightly different heights,\Nslightly different power levels, slightly
Dialogue: 0,0:05:36.90,0:05:40.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,different speeds, and they can have different\NSpecial moves.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.24,0:05:46.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So Dr. Mario is clearly not an echo of Mario,\Nmeaning Dr. Baby Mario doesn’t have to be
