The origin of this comment is that I would like to pin a comment so I can say: hi :)

Although her victory poses are Smash Original, Peach's "Oh! Did I win?" line (even if technically first in Melee) was used as her Mini Game victory line for Mario Party 6 and 7.

I love Peach saying "Aw, did I win?" It just has this snark to it that you wouldn't normally see from Peach.

I have an idea for other references in Smash Ultimate if ur running out of ideas: - Origin of every stage entrance - Origin of every Spirit (by Class) (probably want to separate by many parts) - Every clapping/ No-Contest animation - Evolution of every idle animation Thanks for keeping Smash alive! 👍

You could’ve also mentioned how Ice Climbers are unique in that their losing/no contest animation is one of the only animations of its kind with an origin, since it is actually a reference to their animation when failing the bonus game in Ice Climber

Should of mentioned that Mewtwo's victory screens actually have him talking, though only on the Japanese versions of Smash. The three phrases he says are "Why am I here?", "I cannot lose." and "Foolish".

Aaron: "Falco has the highest jump of all the Smash Cast." Sora: "Hold my keyblade for me."

10:34 the part with him holding out his hand is a direct reference to Ocarina of Time, both to the vision Link has of Ganondorf at the start of the game and to the scene it's predicting where Zelda flees from Ganondorf on horseback with Impa, in both, Link is approached by Ganondorf, who holds out his palm in the same fashion as the victory animation.

I believe Mewtwo’s left victory screen might’ve also token inspiration from his entrance animation from Pokémon Stadium, since he does take a step and reach his arm out in both smash and Stadium.

There are two things that I want to point out that I don't see in the comments. 1) Ganondorf's victory animation where he laughs is more based on a scene in Twilight Princess (after the horseback Ganondorf fight), where Ganondorf laughs out loud then strikes a more serious face. The reference is more loose in Ultimate since we are now working with Ocarina of Time Ganondorf, but in Brawl (the game where the victory pose originated from) the reference is much more clear as he laughs in pretty much exactly the same way (not just the voice, but the way he laughs). 2) The other is Game & Watch's victory theme. While it is indeed, well... a remix of beeps and boops, it is actually based on the Flat Zone 2 theme composed in Brawl. This can be more seen when compared to his victory theme in Melee, where in that game, the victory theme has very similar vibes to the Flat Zone theme made in that game.

Fun fact: Doc used to have one of his victory animation shared with Mario Where he jumps and strikes a pose, though it was changed to him rubbing his chin Starting in smash 4

- Peach's first victory pose may have drawn some inspiration from official artwork, where she was sometimes depicted with her parasol, often in a similar pose. - likewise, her third victory pose here draws inspiration from thanking Mario and co in all his adventures (usually giving Mario a kiss on the cheek or nose), using hearts as it is also her motif in pretty much the entire series by now. Funnily enough, the first one to do the thank with a heart is actually Daisy in Super Mario Land, lol. - the stance Sheik takes in her second victory pose in this vid bears some ressemblance to her Sm4sh render, notably in the hand position. This would, by proxy, also make it a reference to Sheik's identity reveal in OoT, where she did the same hand pose. It's not 1-to-1 to the pose itself, but the similarities are there and worth noting. - Ganondorf's second victory pose's hand positioning could also be seen as a reference to how he casts magic in OoT, that being with his open palm. I doubt this is "just to make him EEEEVIIIL", rather it's because he IS evil, so the source material already does that for him. - I would say Mewtwo's first victory pose is actually more reminiscient of his Sm4sh render (just flipped) rather than his Ultimate one. - The end pose of Roy's second victory pose also looks quite similar to hise idle with the Binding Blade equipped in Fire Emblem The Binding Blade, though with slight tweaks to make it work with the camera and as more of a victory pose than an idle.

8:15 The pose struck at the end is a specific reference to Marth’s depiction in the 3ds era of Fire Emblem games. The pose is what you can think of as the sort of “idle animation” for characters of the Lord and Great Lord classes for units. This link is to a clip of Marth as he appears in Fire Emblem Fates striking this very pose: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/es9ofqVmnM_Mk4k.html

5:19 Pretty sure there are artworks of Doctor Mario with this pose 6:05 May come from the johto OVAs that feature a pair of Pichus 7:20 From Starfox command 8:15 That pose originated in Fire Emblem Awakening on Chrom, this victory scene it's then a refence to how Chrom it's a descendant from Marth 8:57 He's making a Kokiri Pose 12:00 Might resemble Roy's attack animation when wielding the Sealed Sword 12:17 Also might be a reference to his attack Animation but this time a Critical Hit

I was hoping Aaron was gonna mention Mewtwo speaking in Japanese when you set the language to Japanese in Smash Bros Ultimate. That broke my heart lol

I wish the victory themes were more individualized.

Aaron: The up victory pose has Mewtwo turn away from the camera, all edgy like. Shadow: Hold my Chaos Emerald, I am the Edgiest and have a score to settle.

Something weird I noticed with Roy's victory screens is how much the camera zooms in with each of them

I think Marth’s up victory screen seems to be based on his 1994 Volume 1 cover pose for the Shadow Dragon and The Blade of Light Manga And Roy’s up victory pose is based on his battle sprite pose from the Binding Blade which is why lots of artwork has him in said pose.

The pose in Ganondorf's third victory animation is the same one in Ocarina of Time's cutscene after he gains access to the Temple of Time.

Marth's left ending pose is actually based on his FE12 art. And Ganondorf's folded arms and laughing is taken from the scene after Link pulls the Master Sword for the first time.

Correction about Mewtwo Poses The First Pose is based on Mewtwo original Artwork and his Sprites in Third Gen games (Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Fire Red, Leaf Green) The Third Pose is based on Mewtwo Pokemon Yellow Sprite

I think that one where you said Mewtwo does a pose similar to his Ultimate artwork is actually closer to his Smash 4 artwork

3:33 I never get tired of the Bonus Round clear music from the original Ice Climber. I can listen to it all day!

8:46 You actually completely skipped over the part of the theme that the victory theme is based on, lol

Been waiting for the second part I look forward to the Ultimate reps This is awesome stuff

I think it's worth noting all three of Falco's victory poses were updates or simply carried over from the ones he has in Melee, same for Roy's left victory animation and probably some others I've missed

Mewtwo’s right victory screen also ends with him posing in a way basically identical to his sprite in Pokémon Yellow. Roy’s up victory screen also has him sheath his sword, a move that is notable because he does this animation in combat when he uses the Binding Blade.

1:48 Can we talk about how cool that pose is 11:28 Also this one

A future video series idea is to cover regional differences in English for Smash Bros Ultimate, such as the name difference of Duck Hunt (Duo) and how Wii Fit Trainer has an American and British. Then expand that to cover interesting changes in other languages, such as when voices change for different languages and when they don't, and for example when a character speaks or not depending on language. Could also cover significant pronunciation changes, like how Ludvig is pronounced Ludvich in German. Interesting stuff like that.

I don't know why but Mr. Game & Watch theme near the end always sounds like another version of Snake's victory theme

3:55 As someone who was a yellow belt in kenpo as a kid I was never taught this block and sure as hell wouldn't recommend it. All of the blocks I was taught have the hand as a fist and the palm _never_ facing the opponent. A fist can take a hit _a lot better_ than a bare palm. Maybe the trick is to grab before the hit lands?

Considering that ever since Meta Knight debuted in Brawl his victory theme is a rock electric guitar version of Kirby's victory theme and ever since smash 4 Bowser has had a rock electric guitar version of the Mario Bros victory theme which they also gave to Bowser Jr and the koopalings in smash 4 as well as piranha plant in ultimate, You think they'd have an alternate victory theme for ganondorf since he's the villain from Zelda and alternate victory theme for wolf since he's one of the antagonists in Star Fox. I guess maybe in a later smash Bros game they might make that change

8:39 Marth's victory fanfare is actually based on the part of the theme that you cut.

You didn't mention that in the Japanese versions of the game Mewtwo has actual voice lines for his victory screens since Melee. The USA versions removed them for some reason which is strange since Marth and Roy both spoke Japanese

From what I can gather, the pose that Dr. Mario holds at 5:13 might be a reference to his sprite when he loses a level in the NES game.

2:10 Pretty sure it's because of Bowser's punk aesthetic. I mean look at the short and spiky hair, his claws evoking long fingernails, his oni horns, the spiked shell, that spiked choker and those spiked armbands, now that's punk!

(13:05) Thanks for using a high quality video of the LCD game. I dislike how often people use the pixelated style. G&W games were not pixelated.

I'll never forgive how they neutered the Ice Climbers's victory theme. It was so good and now it just doesn't feel the same.

Finally after twenty years

0:27 this can also be a reference to Peach's Parasol from super princess peach

11:13 mewtwo smash 4 render looks more like his victory pose not the ultimate render

Falco paraphrased Fox. -Star Fox 64 Fox: Sorry to jet, but I’m in a hurry! -Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Falco: Sorry, gotta jet!

You missed to point out that Mewtwo actually speaks during his victory screens in the japanese version unlike the international ones. Wich makes him stand more of taking reference from the movie.

P sure Bowser’s up victory is a reference to the dance he does sometimes in Super Mario 64. Only apparent in the last part of the victory animation

I feel like the first of Peach's victory animations could be a reference to Mario Golf: World Tour (I think that was the name?). Unless that was one of Daisy's victory animations.

For some reason the Dr. Mario pose where he holds out the stethoscope reminds me of the pose of Mario holding fire from his hand, it may be a bit of a stretch but to me it at least looks like it’s trying to show how they’re similar due to both being Mario but they’re also different

Still confusing how they changed Link to BOTW but Zelda to Link Between Worlds and Ganondorf to Ocraina of Time. All from different games.

Aren't you ever going to do Brawl's victory screens? It's been six months and you still haven't gotten back to this series!

I wish more references in victory screens were from the character's games of origin.

Video: Falco jumps in the air and.... Ad: KFC chicken! I don't know why, this made me laugh. It's like if his victory pose is him getting cooked.

I was waiting for this sequel 💪🏾

I think Ganondorfs right victory screen is a reference to Twilight Princess where I'm his boss fight he laughs and them stops abruptly to talk to link, it was a bit more obvious in previous smash games but I think that's more of the reference there

Mewtwo's third victory screen pose may be a reference to Mewtwo's sprite in pokemon yellow

Bowser's first victory screen is probably a reference to DIO's pose after using the road roller

7:24 Falco's pose is from the Starfox 64 title sceen

You forgot to mention that Mewtwo has actual dialog in its victory poses when voices are set to japanese

Dr.Mario will always throw and pull out two different megavitamins like in the Dr.Mario games I rarely see four of the same color combo for each pill.

This is a hit

I hope you continue these again. Especially when you get to Pokemon Trainer's and Joker's. With Mr. Game & Watch's victory theme, I'm surprised no one ever mentions how similar it sounds to Snake's victory theme at the end of it. Like, since it's from Brawl, at the same time they added Snake to Smash, maybe they thought it would be a cool little touch to add in Game & Watch's theme.

It's probably because I watch this at 1AM but I never knew anything about Ice Climbers and Falco, they looked weird to me for the first time

I always thought that the ending pose of Bowser's left victory kinda resembled his laughing pose.

One thing you could say about Zelda is that some of her poses actually seem to be based or modeled from Shantae. I can't remember all the possible references, as most of it was found early on, but her up victory pose is almost the exact same posing as Shantae's original box art. Which is interesting to say the least. Again, there's more poses if you wanna look into it, but it was used as evidence against Shantae, at the time. Saying that we already have a character closely modeled to her.

I could be wrong about this, but I think Bowser mainly uses his claws in Smash due to two factors: in Super Mario RPG, his default attack has him slashing then stabbing with his claws. As the latter doesn't make much sense, he strikes with both hands instead in Smash. The second reason is being a dragon.

Mr. Game and Watch victory theme is just based on flat zone 1 music in melee and it's based on flat zone 2 music since brawl

Mr game and watch’s right Victory screen is actually his throw animation as well, once you grab an opponent, no mater which directional input you use for G&W’s throw is always gonna be the fabled Ball Animation

Its always worth pointing out that Ice Climbers lose animation, where they wipe away their tears, is a reference to in Ice Climbers NES when you fail a bonus stage.

Regarding G&W's right victory screen, it is specifically Game B. The Game and Watch games often had 2 different difficulty options when using the game function of the device. Game A is often much easier, where Game B is noticeably harder, but often have more opportunities to gain points. In the case of Ball, Game A uses only 2 balls to juggle, where as Game B uses 3 balls. Since a point is gained whenever a ball is caught, you get more points faster in Game B. Though bear in mind that since the game speeds up the more points you have, Game B has larger difficulty scaling as well. Since the right victory screen uses 3 balls, it is specifically a reference to Game B.

I really enjoy Falco's victory screens. Really shows off the cool guy personality to him.

Have you gone over the victory themes in classic mode, the ones that play during the credits?

Zelda had different victory animations from Melee to 3DS(4) and Wii U(5) but the ones in Ultimate are Zelda's new victory animations

Falco right victory pose : he says the line "sorry gotta jet" is Taken from fox in starfox 64 where he says a similar line "Sorry to jet but i have to hurry Ganondorf right Victory pose is actually a reference to scene young link took the master sword which allowed ganondorf to access the sacred realm and taken the triforce of power And you missed Mewtwo japanese voice lines

mr game and watch's winning theme is flat zone 2 from super smash bros brawl

Fun fact: swimming is just flying in water and flying is just swimming in the air

Mr game and watches theme is actually him spitting bars from his disstrack.

Fun fact: if you stab a bowl of cereal you will be a cereal killer

The more I watch these origin videos, the more I wonder which characters never would have been included if the entire roster was first selected in the last decade or so. From 64 and Melee, I'd guess that other characters would be in the place of at least Jigglypuff, Ice Climbers and Pichu, with Captain Falcon and Young Link being a maybe.

Will you finish the Smash Ultimate Victory Screen Origins and do the Smash Ultimate base roster fighters and the Smash Ultimate Fighters Pass 1 & Fighters Pass 2 fighters, Aaronitmar? Please? ❤❤❤

Thank you for uploading this video. That was my request. Next, make a video of Brawl Newcomers' Victory Screen Origins please?

Thanks. My fave might be Mewtwo's

i think one of bowsers victory poses the one where he scratches reminds me of his animation when he levels up in mario and luigi bowsers inside story

The introduction of those EEEEEVIL Fire Emblem characters!

Mewtwo’s right victory screen also ends with him posing in a way basically identical to his sprite in Pokémon Yellow.

Fun fact: writing is just drawing letters

OOC: Peach's left victory animation maybe a reference to her Eagle/birdie animation from Mario Golf: World Tour

All Melee Fighters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

If not for Marth’s second victory pose, his quote is a reference to the concept of permadeath in the Fire Emblem games. I hope for Sonic’s poses you note the Japanese quotes that have more reference

7:01 Is it just me or Falco just dabbed?!

The third victory pose of Peach also is a reference from Mario Golf World Tour in her Eagle animation

4:28 May not be an actual refference but that pose is exactly the same as a Shantae render lol

Mewtwo's pose is actually his smash 4 pose which is probably a reference to his official art

honestly kind of disappointed that Sheik never plays the harp in a victory screen or even a taunt

Fun fact: if you work at security at a samsung store you will be a guardian of the galaxy

Fun fact: a bear without teeth is a gummy bear

Hold on a second, have the Great Sea diving brothers in Wind Waker been a Game & Watch Octopus reference this whole time?

Ice Climbers up victory screen was also in the Melee Intro.

How did I never realize sheik did f-tilt then down smash

Great vídeo! I love this series

Hi

Next you should do Voice Origins, with the origins of the characters' voice actors throughout the smash series, maybe their first game as the character, and whatnot.
