This made me rewatch the Melee reveal to see who was first

It was Peach

But what was more interesting was that the crowd went absolutely bananas when Ridley was shown. And looking back, yea, that was quite the tease.

Also both Pichu and Jigglypuff were shown in the reveal, which I never knew.

it would have been funny if it was Falco lol, but that would never happen

I'm confused. Do people NEVER EVER want timeouts? That seems super impractical, all fighting games have occasional timeouts. I'd say it would be a problem if it was super frequent - like say early Street Fighter x Tekken was. There have been timeouts but I'm not seeing some sort of epidemic. I'm not opposed to 2-stock rules but I'm not seeing any sort of endemic issue that's forcing such a switch from a spectator perspective.

 

[Azure J]

The best footstool KO I've ever seen.

Edit: I agree with Croc.

 

[Anth0ny]

I love Denti's Sheik.

The only input I have is, it sucks to see a close match end with sudden death. No matter how great the match or players were. sudden death is always a weak affair.

sudden death is never actually played out though, it's determined by % at the time

anyway the only reason people seem to be clinging to 3 stock is because that's what it was in Brawl, even though that turned to be a really poor decision (aka "hey let's copy over Melee's ruleset" syndrome)

I love the Samus part of the later part of the trailer. The crowd starts getting hyped like crazy. Here he comes, omg Ridley, HERE HE IS... oh... Pikachu... You can even hear a half hearted "woo?" from the crowd. You can almost feel the disappointment in the air.

All these years later and he's still being requested.

He's like some kind of Smash Bigfoot at this point. I'm convinced him being a playable character in Smash is a sign of the impending apocalypse. I'm pretty sure at least the Internet as a whole would crash for a few minutes in pure hype.

Oh I haven't seen these tourneys and the last one I did see had the Sudden Death rule. I guess that's better than.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Little Mac looks crazy good.

I remember when people thought he was one of the worst new comers.

 

[TheOGB]

Daaaaaaaaaaammnnnn that KO punch was slick

 

[L00P]

THAT GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK

 

[Nanashrew]

That was amazing.

 

[theprodigy]

It is written.

Denti must always drop one and only one game to Bwett in any Bo5 Smash 4 set.

 

[Valus]

Bwett really needs to abuse his super armor smashes more...

 

[TheOGB]

Noooooooooooooooo Mac :c

 

[KLatin Scelus]

At this point Denti & Bwett are rivals for life.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Yeah. Sheik.

 

[zroid]

Little Mac looks crazy good.

I remember when people thought he was one of the worst new comers.

I feel like someone has said both of those things about every character at some point :lol

 

[Thorakai]

I just wanna see the little guy take it all ;_;

 

[Crocodile]

That was a sweet comeback! We wouldn't have seen that with two stocks..........

Spoiler

There are certainly pros and cons to either stock count I will admit. My personal opinion is that three stocks isn't an issue. Anything can change over time though

 

[KLatin Scelus]

I'm getting a feeling of deja vu.

Something tells me people would have preferred seeing Little Mac win rather than a Sheik comeback

Spoiler

not me though go Sheik

 

[boxter432]

kinda weird the bwett puts his earbud in his mouth before putting it back in his ear...

They weren't cheering for Ridley, they were cheering for Metroid.

ahhhhhhhhh stop this train

 

[deadcelledo]

Lil mac is awesome

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Jejus

 

[Azure J]

KO punches really are the new Rest.

 

[johnbone]

I'm getting a feeling of deja vu.

Haha you don't say!

 

[johnsavage]

I never get tired of these. Can we get one for the day after release that says "-1 Day"?

 

[Dimmle]

this is my favorite one

 

[Jawmuncher]

Heath you know what you have to do.
Just "sneak" him in there.

 

[Papercuts]

Shiek losing out to Little Mac off stage, lol.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Yeah. Sheik.

 

[L00P]

I can't win doc!!!

 

[Crocodile]

Shiek will HUNT you down

 

[Boss Doggie]

Apparently other countries are releasing Smash early

My problem is more with Zeph and Aero being boring players to watch than anything with 3-stock.

 

[Nanashrew]

That Sheik play. Denti got some big balls.

 

[Valus]

Sheik? Balls? Good one!

 

[theprodigy]

heh Denti finally with a clean 3-0

 

[Fiktion]

Apparently other countries are releasing Smash early

Where?

 

[IntelliHeath]

I guess it's not bad tournament but entertaining tho.

 

[Nanashrew]

That was a really fun tournament to watch. Disafter and all his commentary was the best part though.

 

[Anth0ny]

Hey friends,

Sheik is so great.

Sincerely yours,

Anth0ny

Yeah if you watch the second part of the video where they show each character, they gave an equally loud applause when Samus appeared.

Also, lol @ the end after they show Ice Climbers: "man they really dug for that one"

I thought he said "they really dumb for that one"

Is this concept art for a new Zelda game by Platinum? Link has never moved that quickly in his life.

 

[PadWarrior]

After playing Hyrule Warriors I want Impa now

 

[DooD1234]

I wish Link move that awesome in the real smash games. He always so slow and he doesn't even hit that hard compared to other characters. Here hoping he is much better this time around although his track record suggest he won't be that great compared to the rest of the cast.
