Ranking Every Character Reveal in Super Smash Bros Ultimate

So many amazing characters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. I had to make a video talking about the trailers for Inkling, Sans, Steve Minecraft, Sora, you name it!

Using The Grand Finale music in the background for Sora is so fitting

No matter how we felt about the characters revealed, we can all agree that these past 3 years have been a magnificent journey that can’t be replicated and frankly can’t be done again. So whether you’re happy, sad, angry, disappointed, or whatever, just remember the journey we all had together, because, again, this is something that can’t be done again. So cherish those memories, and remember it’s just a game, just have fun with it. Thank you Sakurai, thank you, for everything!!

Something a lot of people don't appreciate about the Pyra and Mythra reveal trailer is that it's only trailer to be handled by a different studio which were monlithsoft themselves. It was so good a hardcore Xenoblade 2 fan like me couldn't tell if it was Xenoblade 2 dlc or not lol.

sephiroth at 10? I was really hoping for a psych because he changed expectations and is honestly the best one. But you do you man

[StrikerSML]

I don't know if they'll top this game for a long time. Maybe we'll never get a new smash. Probably will but this smash seems to be a pretty good ending. The only thing I really want from another smash is all of the characters back waluigi and a new subspace emissary like campaign. This was really a great time!

Disney after Sora’s reveal trailer: here’s the bill

[kimi]

Steve was so surprising that I literally got spoiled when searching up the direct (because I couldn't watch it so I had to search for it) and I was so doubtful that I was still surprised and hyped from the trailer lol

Context for the Sora trailer:

Originally, Sora was not part of the Fighters Pass 2, it only had 5 fighters, just like the previous one.

But then, as luck would have it, Sakurai managed to start negotiations for Sora with a Disney rep that just happened to be at a gaming awards event.

So the trailer its basically Smash ending at the point it was planned to end.

But then one last spark of fire remains, one that contains the Smash Ballot's winner.
So the team sank their hands into the boiling fire that was Sora's legal rights to give us one more reveal, for all times sake.

I would also love to see the ARMS characters in that style too. Weather it’s an animated series, or even cutscenes for a future game. I just wanna see them come to life.

Personally, my top three for this were:
3. King K Rool - This trailer and Banjo&Kazooie's were handled well, but the original, with the remixed Gangplank Galleon being revealed and the big croc making his return after a decade was massive. Banjo's trailer had similar impact, but the feel of the first topped it in my opinion.
2. Pyra/Mythra - This is 2 because they were my number one hope for Smash AND because the trailer was beautifully done, showing off much of the world of XBC2, and the main cast. It was fun and well made.
1. Joker - Nothing can beat the feeling of sitting in Gamestop that night, waiting for Smash to be released only minutes later, with the Game Awards playing in the background... when suddenly, the screen glitches to red, and the Phantom Thieves logo pops up. The banter between the Phantom Thieves leading to Morgana's best line had me thrilled. And then: "We're not the ones sending the card this time. In fact, we've been invited... Invited to steal the greatest treasure of all!" Then... joker grabs an envelope and turns it to reveal SMASH LOGO! This was HYPE! And it happened AS Smash was releasing to US audiences (since it was already out overseas due to time difference). That memory is just too intense to fade to the background, so Joker's reveal cannot be topped in my mind.

imo sephiroth is a mile above every other trailer, and I didn’t even know who he was.

[SuperPlaytendo]

Steve and Sora were my favourite Smash Ultimate reveals. Steve's reveal for being a massive WTF moment that destroyed the internet and Sora's reveal was not only magical but felt like the perfect way to close out Smash Ultimate. The final shot of his trailer just sells it.

[Zonatedjaguar]

I screamed my lungs out when I saw the Steve trailer, I expected alley after but not a zombie nor an enderman and I love the cool Minecraft references in the trailer

[MrBda]

Steve has every right to be number 1 in most list, mainly due to the fact how he broke so much expectations that it broke Twitter, hell Sakurai thought he couldn't do it, but Nintendo kept insisting it.

[minermole]

King K. Rool was the one that did it for me. It was at the top of my wishlist and it deserved to be in the game for sure.

[ArtsyDiamond]

I did kind of like having Daisy in there, because she’s a very strong and confident character. I admit Waluigi would have been cool, but I really like her spunk and she’s perfect for Smash :)

[DTB]

I cannot thank Sakurai enough for the entire Super Smash Bros. Franchise. He has not only made us really excited to play as our favorite video game characters of all time, but he has also made lots of trailers filled with so much hype in them. It’s been an honor for me to know this game’s existence.

Oh, and also, thank you for introducing me to Current! I hope to use it once I get older and maybe even introduce it to more people.

Steve was honestly a big surprise since it died down but we never gave up hope with Steve in smash and then he came when we all least expected it 👏

Joker's reveal might not be the absolute favorite among most fans, but I love it not just because of the character, but it was one of the only characters to not let the viewer know it was Smash until the reveal. Just having Joker running around in P5s beautiful art aesthetic, the other Phantom Thieves getting ready for another infiltration, only for Joker to flip the envelop to reveal a smash logo. It is simply perfection. No other reveal had that type of ambiguity because the rest were in a direct/smash presentation, meaning that people either knew it was a smash reveal no matter what (Byleth, Min-Min), or somewhat expected it (Isabel, Pyra). Joker on the other hand, was at the Game Awards, where Smash announcements never happened. Ultimate being released _the next day_ was just the cherry on top and why its number 1 for me.
