What if EVERY Rejected Fighter Actually Got In? - Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

This is the biggest video I've ever done, sorry for the long wait 😊 Thanks for a great 2021, got some big plans for next year!

On the subject of Toon Zelda/Tetra getting in, I feel if they did split them in S4 like they did with Zelda/Sheik, they would have scrapped Toon Zelda and just kept Tetra, as Tetra would have been the most unique of the duo and is more of the face of the Toon style than TZelda is.

I had no idea Nintendogs were even planned to be playable. If they did I would’ve been in confusion. I mean, who would want to play as actual Dogs fighting against Mario? Cause I would

13:58 This isn't just a fan made "rule", Sakurai confirmed this himself.

With Min Min, I think you have to consider that her moveset in arms revolves around her kicks as well, which honestly really helped her concept come to life in smash since she could have up close physical moves. Ninjara simply doesn’t have that, and with Min Min’s popularity I think that definitely puts her as the front runner

"inceneroar doesn't use any dark type moves" neutral special: (exists)

"incineroar doesn't have any dark type moves." Neutral special - darkest lariat. Up special - throat chop

40:46 Darkest Lariat is a dark type move and Incineroar shares the dark type with greninja

"Incineroar doesn't have any dark-type moves" shows Incineroar using a dark type move that it has in smash "dark is the only type Incineroar has that isn't shared with another fighter" except the other incredibly popular dark type pokemon in smash

I totally agree with Sakurai’s decision regarding the implementation of Pokémon Trainer. I think it’s awesome that Squirtle got the spotlight along with Charizard and Ivysaur. And I also like the representation of all three forms of evolution, makes for a very interesting array of characters. Plus, you get the light/medium/heavy weight variety that makes people like me main him

I like how Shadow the Hedgehog wasn’t mentioned at all even though he’s been wanted since Brawl🥲

3:27 Actually, Falco, Slippy and Peppy were supposed to be in the game as Fox’s alternative costumes. Unfortunately, only Falco joined Smash. They however appear in the other Smash Bros games in the secret discussion that Fox and Falco can turn on on Corneria and Venom. They also appear on Lylat Cruise, once again in their discussion. Slippy also appears in two of the discussions activated by Wolf as well as Snake’s Codec if Falco is the scanned character.

King Dedede was originally planned for Smash 64 as well, and out of the characters we know work was done on it seems he was the second to last one to be cut. (The cutting order was Mewtwo, King Dedede, Bowser, with the final one even being confirmed for the game by Shigeru Miyamoto). Interestingly enough, Sakurai counted all the fan requests he received for Melee, with King Dedede ending up beating out every single character except for Peach and Bowser (and maybe Wario?). Yes, that includes Zelda, Ganon and Mewtwo.

Imagine James bond

So waluigi really wasn’t even a thought? I would’ve loved to see him

It kinda makes sense why Blastoise didn't make it. He'd basically be a glorified reskin of Bowser if you really think about it. Instead of fire you get water, but still a similar moveset in terms of basic attacks. It really wouldn't of been that distinguishable in terms of differences.

40:53 Greninja is a dark type

Damn this video is impressive. The thing is, with the amount of obscure picks already, basically anyone has a chance, even if it may seem unlikely

Something you might have missed regarding FF reps: If we had gotten Terra as an FF6 rep, then the logical next step may not have been to add another protagonist from FF, but instead to add the antagonist of FF6 in Sephiroth's place. Kefka is certainly an interesting character, though his moveset may have been a bit more difficult to work out than Sephiroth's.

Wait, I don’t think Lucario was meant to replace Mewtwo, I think it was just time. Roy, Dr Mario and Mewtwo (especially Mewtwo, he had some voice lines and a voice line for when you select him with the Wii remote) were supposed to be in the game, but didn’t make it in time
