Hope you all enjoy this 20 second Skyblock let’s play with a 28 minute video attached!

Not only is Shulk's final smash a spoiler they made it worse from Smash 4 because back then it only had 3 people which is faithful to the game.

I LOVE Sepiroth's final smash having literal math equations in the cutscene

Fun fact about Ken’s 2nd Smash (Shippu Jinraikyaku), the stance he does in the beginning when you active it is a HUGE reference to Evo Moment#37 where a ken player “Diago” was close to losing but parried ALL of Chun-li’s attack (played by Justin Wong) and made a huge comeback. Making it the most iconic moment in Fighting Game History so it making it to Smash is really awesome!! And it’s also called the Diago Parry!!

Fun fact: Pac-Man's final smash caps its score at 7650 because in Japanese the number 765 can be read as na-mu-ko, making a reference to Bandai Namco. Apparently they use the number 765 a lot, such as in one of Pac-Man's victory screen and the damage in Pac-Man's fair (7, 65% internally)

Fun fact if you press B again during Joker’s final smash after missing he will dash again back toward his starting location.

20:04 You thought we wouldn’t notice you calling Ness Sans 💀

The DK final smash actually has a basis on the boss battles in Jungle Beat. I mean they're still just a ton of punching but at least there's that...as well as his appearance in Punch Out Wii (which could explain why he and Little Mac have similar ones)
As for Palutena's, her FS is not as random as originally thought of. The Black Hole and Mega Laser combo was an actual strategy players could use in the multiplayer of Uprising

Robin's would've been so cool if they had different Awakening characters show up every time, not all of them obviously but the fan favorites, and they could all have their own crit voice line (PICK A GOD AND PRAY!)

The best part about controllable Wario Man is that the skybox doesn't kill you, so I would just spam clap up into space

[TsukasaRui]

The funniest part about Peach/Daisy's final smash is seeing bad CPU's sleep for 30 seconds its just so anti climactic

[TooMuchGamba]

I know I have bias for being a fan of the series but I don't think anything can top Joker's final smash for me, amazing job on the video btw!

[flamingpaper]

Dark Pit's final smash using the Home Run Bat Sound effect is because the Home Run Bat sound effect is based on a sound effect used in many animes to indicate really strong attacks, usually associated with freeze frames or flashy screens. So it actually does fit on Dark Pit’s Final Smash

The sound does not fit on GnW's Judge 8 so that's a valid complaint for that move

The artwork for Peach Blossom is actually a reference! It’s based off of the artwork from the game Super Princess Peach, one of the first games with Peach as the main playable character! Not many people know about it, I only found out about it from an obscure Mario games article and it seems like a cool concept. I’d love to see a new Peach platformer game that improves upon Super Princess Peach’s unique combat system.

Rosalina's could've been so cool, like throwing them into the reactor of the observatory and mote grandstsrs fly in, increasing the damage

[Cyndric]

I agree with nr 1. Joker’s final smash is soooo detailed. Straight out of Persona 5

[wildblack]

I feel like for link's final smash if the oponent is over 100% they should be instantly kill like how ancient arrows work in the game

[Piiiiiiiiit]

23:27 as the resident Kid Icarus enjoyer, this is a very good reference. Pit gets the lightning chariot during the chaos kin arc to break through Palutena’s barrier around skyworld, and it’s incredibly powerful. Also, if you listen during the wind up you can even hear Pit calling both of the unicorns by name (Phos and Lux)

I personally like that Chrom still appears in Robin's final smash because it makes me think of a Smash game where Waluigi becomes a playable fighter while still being an assist trophy at first. Imagine being able to make a Waluigi kill another Waluigi while being a Waluigi yourself.
