How many facts did you not know yet?

Actually, I have an actual useless Fact about Wii Fit, For some reason, Wii Fit is the only gender swaps that has different Palutenas Guidence, Tags in Boxing Ring, and different poses in Joker's Final Smash. That's an interesting fact, I guess.

The duality of effort in Smash: "We snuck in a cool actual duck fact for the cartoon one on a dog" "But we don't wanna remove one of the Bayonetta options from the voices menu"

The fact about Terry made me realize, Meta Knight not losing his mask when he's KOd in a stamina match was a huge missed opportunity!

23:15 There IS a reason why Robin doesn't fall when getting their Tomes back. It's because they're looking upwards, therefore meaning gravity isn't in affect yet.

A snake fun fact: in the 2001 game "metal gear solid 2: sons of liberty" solid snake is the first known video-game character to say bisexual

Regarding Wolf's smoke particles, my guess is that when coding Wolf's blaster, they used Fox's blaster as a base, but forgot to remove the piece of code that spawns the smoke particles. Wolf probably doesn't have the smoke texture in his assets, so nothing happens when Fox isn't in the match, but when he is, the smoke texture gets loaded into memory and thus Wolf's code manages to use it.

6:23 This is because Peach uses Toad the character, while Daisy uses just a random Toad (hence, "a Toad" instead of "Toad")

very big shoutout to the dev(s) that worked on duck hunt and said "hang on, do ducks blink?"

As for the Daisy fact, I believe Red Toad is a specific toad, hence he/him pronouns, while Blue Toad is a *type* of toad, hence saying "a Toad" and the it/its pronouns. It's like how "a dog" would be referred to as it, while a specific dog, like Snoopy or Scooby Doo would be referred to as "he".

Am I the only one having a seizure about the Jigglypuff eyes fact? In no way do any of those eyes look green to me, they look to be the same shade of teal.

Actually, I think Daisy’s text difference is because it’s not THE toad, but rather just a basic toad. Peach’s toad is THE Toad that is her personal guard, since he has a red cap but a blue vest unlike other toads It’d be like if I named my dog ‘Dog’, and he was male

19:26 Actually, it IS known (at least by me). Since Wolf was made using Fox as a base, his blaster shot likely calls on Fox's particle effect. But when Fox isn't loaded, it can't use the particle (thus only appearing when Fox is present). This is almost certainly a mistake on the developer's part. Its easy to forget that the smoke particle effect even exists. I used to mod Smash Bros. Brawl a lot, so I have some experience with this kind of thing. If you try to use a player-specific particle effect on a different character it won't appear unless the other character is loaded.

Fun fact about Sonic: of all of his voice actors, only his Italian actor, Renato Novara, reprised him for the movies.

I find it crazy how Dr. Mario can have many different Victory Animations depending on his MegaVitamins and Alts, but Sonic is has always been pulling out the same damn Blue Chaos Emerald since 2008.

Another funny fact about Wii Fit Trainer is that in the WoL introduction cutscene she tries first to run away from the rays only to stop and do a Tree pose, which in-game has invincibility frames (sadly it doesn't save her)

Having the G&W amiibo be named "Up-B OOS" is hysterical

I think it's accurate to say that Zelda's design in Ultimate is a fusion of her designs from LTTP and LBW, neither one is a perfect match to the ultimate design and there's clearly elements of both designs present.

One thing to point out about Kazuya's down tilt, is that he can also cancel the move before the hitbox comes out in the Tekken series too. It wasn't randomly a thing for him in Smash. In Tekken, it's mainly used to bait out reactions from the opponent like a block or a move to beat it out (not like you would use it that way) Also a useless Smash fact about Kazuya and K Rool, they both have a spike on Kaz's down air and K Rool's up smash. Only for 1 frame.

In Kingdom Hearts, Sora’s party members can trigger a similar slow down effect if they land the final blow on an enemy that isn’t a boss, at least if it’s a forced story encounter or depending on the game, in the coliseum fights. So what was likely unintentional for the last fact, is kind of accurate.

Richter's attack being aura actually gives a small difference between him and Simon. but I mean a SMALL difference. Simon's is fire, so it can detonate the 3 Link's bomb. Richter's isn't, so it can kill Red Pikmin. that's it.

16:20 Not entirely, Ness can use PK Flash, albeit the green light chosen to represent the move is more so from Mother 3 than EarthBound, where it’s represented as White. Just another bit of fun trivia about this move

25:54: _Technically_ this isn’t true. Corrin’s name was revealed in the Nintendo Direct that revealed Fire Emblem Fates would have multiple versions. However, it wasn’t stated directly and only showed up on dialogue boxes, wasn’t on screen for very long, and the segment didn’t focus much on the story, so it’s understandable that a lot of people missed it. That direct also happened almost exactly a month before Corrin was revealed for Smash. I only found this out because I also thought Corrin’s name was revealed in Smash and scoured through Fates trailers to double check if they ever showed it off beforehand.

Random fact for the "random" selection option. You cannot random into a Mii character. This is likely due to the game not being able properly select a mii when random is picked.

5:50 Am I just crazy or do ALL the Jigglypuffs have the same cyan eye color? Like, its a bit of a stretch to say they're green... Looking at them side by side they do NOT look that different. The new color is just slightly darker.

5:55 Real reason is that Jigglypuff's design in Brawl was still using the outdated design from Gen 1, instead of the redesign it received in Gen 3/FireRed Leaf Green You can tell by the new mouth they used and the eyes being further apart, like the redesign, it's just that they wanted Jiggs to be updated to the current brand's image

Wii Fit Trainer is the only character to have a different voice in the PAL version

31:27 I can confirm this does say “ass egg” although it has the kana お in front of it which makes the phrase more respectful

5:18 As an artist, I gotta mention that Jiggly's eyes are NOT green, they're turquoise. In fact, color picking the eyes in an image editor shows that the eye color actually sits on the bluer side of turquoise than the green side, so TECHNICALLY you could say that they're blue. Regardless though, both the Jigglypuff in Smash and the one in the anime VERY clearly have turquoise eyes and not green, which means no, they're not shiny. You can see this very clear difference at 5:33

Richter's holy water only has the Aura *hit* effect, meaning that it puts the blue fire effect on the opponent when they're hit by it. It doesn't effect the visuals of the actual move.

Fun fact: Meta Knight's Brawl Final Smash isn't the ojnly move to make it into the Kirby series - Dedede uses his Gordo Throw to lobby them over to Meta Knight during their Kirby Fighters 2 boss fight, while Parallel Dedede and Phantom Dedede use the move by itself during their respective boss fights in Star Allies and Forgotten Land Unrelated to Kirby, but another cool reference is Rosalina's down special which, if you look closely, replaces the tip of her wand with the Star Cursor from the Mario Galaxy games, which is used to attract Star Bits from anywhere in a level, explaining why the move works the way it does in Smash

It's actually extremely likely that Dark Pit was created solely for the fact that they wanted Multiplayer for Uprising. Light vs Dark.

The Kazuya fact is actually so useful, it’s easy to accidentally input that move when going for EWGF and the lag on it is awful, that makes going for EWGF a lot safer.

The two Byleth splash screens is because male and female Byleth have slightly different names in Japanese. Male is ベレト or "Bereto" and female is ベレス or "Beresu".

HE'S BAAAACK!

The Mythra thing is because Mythra's Smash design was in the base game in the form of her spirit, and I'm pretty sure Xenoblade 2 was still getting updates when SSBU released. The Pyra spirit used her original design, so her Smash design wasn't made until Pyra and Mythra became fighters, long after Xenoblade 2 stopped getting updates.

Adding to Roy’s inspirational history, he technically first appeared in melee, too

also in Ryu's fact, Viridi mentions that he has fought demons, which might be a nod to how in the MvC-series, Dante, Vergil and Trish from Devil May Cry make an appearance

But Zelda has the design of A Link Between Worlds as her smash spirit.

Fun inkling fact: if you turn on smash stick in the controller settings, then run off the ledge and press down on the right stick right when you fall off of the ledge, you will float on the air for around a second as the bomb throwing animation plays out and drift forward in the air. This is great for mix ups on edge guards when you learn the timing.

For Banjo Kazooie: It is ass egg. The reason why google translate screws it up is because "oketsu" (おけつ、悪血. Literally bad blood) means stagnant blood, but it's being read incorrectly. The o used in the name is actually an honorific and ketsu means ass. So ケツタマゴ (ketsu tamago) does mean ass egg, and the o just makes it polite

As for the fox/wolf blaster fact, when a character is loaded, all of their effects are also loaded, and this is the *only* way to get a character's effects in a match in base game. Want to see the effects on Terry's Power Geyser? Terry MUST be in the match. Wolf's blaster hit effect actually uses one of fox's hit effects (the devs probably either forgot to remove it from wolf's blaster or create a new, identical effect for wolf).

Why does jigglypuff not have jiggle physics?

8:47 But if you look at the Triforce symbol on her, it looks more like the ALBW model, as does her crown. It looks more like a fusion between their designs.

20:11 Wii Fit Trainer Fun Fact: Female Wii Fit Trainer was one of the first Amibos created, but Male Wii FIt Trainer & Wii Balance Board still do not have an Amibo to this day

16:20 Ness is able to use PK Flash. In fact, he is the only party member in his game who is able to learn it. Oddly enough, Lucas is also able to use PK Flash but that was the one move that Ness uses in Smash that they didn’t give to Lucas. The rest of their special moves do come from other party members, though.

17:54 Technically, Lucario debuted in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, or at least a statue of him did.

11:13 Actually, Ganondorf was able to wield his sword from Twilight Princess as a Custom Attack for his Neutral Special: Warlock Punch in Smash 4, which gave him more range and I believe a tipper too (though not really sure).

11:12 One of ganondorfs customs moves in smash 4 replaces his neutral b with a sword attack, so ultimate isn't the first game where ganondorf uses a sword

have the characters with reused facts: - samus - dark samus - peach - dr mario - mr game and watch - meta knight - pokemon trainer - wolf - palutena - pac-man - cloud - bayonetta - richter - king k. rool - joker - terry - sephiroth - pyra/mythra tell me if i missed any pls

15:09 nitpick but the one on the left is the Path of Radiances Ike with the Radiant Dawn version being on the right, their left hands are also slightly different.

To add more with Byleth's reveal: In Three Houses, after Sothis fuses with Byleth, and during the timeskip phase, if you go to the amiibo Gazebo, you'd see the opposite gender of Byleth (depending who you are playing as, male or female) in front of Sothis' throne. (Since if you visit Sothis in the academy phase, you get a secret ability from her, which I know many 3H players never knew.) Considering Sothis disappeared for the rest of the game, and the opposite gender of Byleth is at the throne, I also want to imagine Male Byleth just summoned the female version after he got his ass beat in his trailer (since the male version just disappeared completely after that part). So I want to imagine that Male Byleth just summoned Female Byleth as a really obscure reference to the amiibo Gazebo in Three Houses, and while I may be wrong, it's funny to imagine that could explain the weird explanation how they handled both Byleths appearing in the same trailer since that's not really a thing that happens in Three Houses. I'm a Three Houses simp so I thought that was the case, but hopefully I am right, lol.

Useless Meta Knight fact: During his Ultimate final smash you can tell which Meta Knight is the real one by looking for the number of wings and the eyes. The clones have no eyes and 2 wings, while the real Meta Knight has the red eyes and 4 wings he shows off upon activation.

A bonus one for Zelda which I've always found odd, She's the only character in Smash Ultimate without an amiibo. The amiibo were introduced in Smash 4 when they used the model from Twilight Princess, When they changed her appearance in Smash Ultimate they never made a version that uses her Smash Ultimate appearance. Especially considering that they have made alternate versions of Amiibo for Zelda in her other games.

Better Wii Fit Fact, in the World of Light intro cutscene, before being hit by Galeem she does Up Smash, likely because it has three frames of full intangibility

In a similar vein to the Toon Link trivia, Brawl was actually the first game to use "Classic Sonic" to refer to Sonic's original design, as he was referred to as such by a sticker.

Fun Fact: the footstool sound is taken directly from SMB2 NES. The sound for lifting a ripe vegetable or a Mushroom Block. Another fact is that Peach's Down Special is inaccurate to SMB2 as plucked Bob-ombs in the original game would always come out lit and just about to explode, wheras in Smash it isn't as close to detonation. It would also be cool if they diversified the veggie types to include all the veggies seen in the original (Turnips, Onions, Beets, Radishes, Garlic, Tomatos (NES only), and green Pumpkins) with the Onions and Tomatoes doing the most damage in reference to their place as the two vegetables present in the final boss fight with Wart. Garlic could also immediately fill Wario's waft meter in reference to his affinity for the veggie.

20:20 Wii Fit Trainer’s attacks have little to no body-breaking or motion effects

For Daisy... I Feel like its more of THE Toad versus A GENERIC Toad type of thing. For Peach, THE one and only Toad appears. For Daisy, its just a random Toad she pulled out of her castle.

PJiggles I have another useless smash fact for Incineroar, Ken and Little Mac, in the reveal trailer for Incineroar we can know which player controls each character, Incineroar being player 1, Ken P2 and Little Mac P3, I discovered this thanks to the boxing ring because of the colors showed in the screen of the stage while they’re fighting and also Ken’s render could be seen in said screen

A not so useless fact is that many of these facts are actually useful. Knowing how much Wario has charged up and how low Luma is may actually change gameplay, albeit not so much. Not meant to say the video is bad or anything, it was very good and I’m glad you’re back

The Blood Falcon alt changing from saying Hell Hawk to Blood Hawk may TECHNICALLY be due to avoiding religious references, but it's more because it's a change stemming from F-Zero X's localization, as Smash still uses the word hell elsewhere. Weirdly enough though, is that the F-Zero anime and it's 2 tie in games both started using the name Blood Hawk in Japanese, meaning Smash is the most recent usage of that machine name.

Actually, unlike Lucas, Ness actually has a special he uses in his own game: PK Flash

It’s a shame Marth and Roy do not speak Japanese by default anymore, it actually helped them to stand out more and now that they speak English it makes them easier to compare to the other “”Anime Swordsmen”” and their cheesy voicelines if someone started with Ultimate as their first Smash Game, The _“Les Dance!”_ sounds badass and I think it would’ve been one of his taunts or when he successfully got to counter something, Project+ made it one of his taunts.

5:16 I literally can’t see a difference in their eye colors

33:31 fun fact if you have a replay of when Steve first came out, you can actually still see the unpatched victory screen

26:09 I will also note that Bayonetta even has JP and English voice lines in the first place because the first Bayonetta game didn't originally have Japanese voice lines and just used subtitles

30:48 - "Big numbers make me happy, so you should hit that subscribe button right now." I'm glad you actually got an opportunity to put that comment in a video

6:27 there actually is a reason, Toad, like Yoshi, is the name of a species and the name of a character from that species. Peach uses *the* Toad while Daisy usus some random civilian Blue Toad she found during the commute to smash 13:28 This move was later added to his boss fight in Forgotten Land, albeit without the inital hit, the Kirby devs definitely caught up.

31:20 so yeah, the translation is actually what the wiki says, and the reason Google Translate was having an issue is because you were combining 2 different writing styles for one word, so it just gave you the romanization of how you would pronounce those together and called it a day. The name "おケツ" (oketsu) has the character "お" (o) in front, which is sometimes used to just be more polite or more honorific or something (idk, I'm still learning) meaning that you can remove it from the word, leaving us with just "ケツ" (ketsu) which, if you put that in to Google Translate, should give you the desired result. Oh, and going back to what I said about the different writing styles, there's hiragana which is basically like their alphabet, and katakana which is used for foreign words or just for emphasis, and that string of characters uses both, with "お" being hiragana and "ケツ" being katakana. In case you were wondering, "お" in katakana is "オ" and the "ケ" (ke) and "ツ" (tsu) that make up the actual word, in hiragana, look like "け" and "つ"

23:45 I can confirm, i am using my mind to control the clown car

jwong: hey this vid looks pretty cool, i sure do hope the ghosts of my past dont randomly emerge to haunt me once again fact #65:

17:58 It's really funny that Lucario is the one character that is quote unqoute, "An anime character" because he's also voiced by Sean Schemmel, the VA for Goku. Which means that technically, Goku is in Smash.

that's link fact is mad funny. when it said that his name was only in five titles, the first one i thought of was 'link's crossbow training'.

27:26 Bonus fact! Almost all of the human Amiibo shown here have names, and are used as promotional characters for the game! I'll go through them all here, since they're quite dear to me. The promo kids are always in groups of eight (except for S2 who rose to ten after Octo Expansion) but only the main two get amiibos. The orange female is Kaori, and she's used for Agent 3 and often a rep for Splatoon 1 as a whole. The green female is Mizuho, one of Kaori's teammates. Usually she looks a little different, but keeping their outfits simple for stuff like this is common. She's also in mariokart. The blue male is named John. (Splatoon 3 players probably know this after the plaza johnpocalypse a month ago.) He's Kaori's male counterpart, and pre-splatoon 2 was used equally as Agent 3 alongside her, but has since been abandoned to keep just one agent 3. He also serves as a rep for Splatoon 1, but like all the males, he takes a back seat to the girls. The purple boy I've actually never seen outside of Amiibo and Mariokart- he seems to be a male equivalent of Laura, another promo kid and the pink female in Smash, that's used for collaborations. The pink female is Surume, and she's both Agent 4 and the poster girl for Splatoon 2. She's the only one out of these Amiibo without a counterpart in Coroika, one of Splatoon's mangas. You could say that Clip is her counterpart but the resemblance is less distinct as the others are. (I'll put the Coroika counterparts below.) However she does have a counterpart as a main character in the other manga, Squid Kids Comedy Show, along with a counterpart to her teammate Yari. The green boy's name is Cuttlefrsh, and he's Surume's male counterpart. He's only used for Agent 4 a few times and is generally considered to be the noncanon version. He's probably my favourite out of The ones I'm talking about here. And finally, the yellow Inkling is Veronika! If you're wondering why there's only one Splatoon 3 Amiibo here, it's because her male counterpart Hiro is an octoling, and the third member of their trio (Anemone) never got an Amiibo. What would've been the squid Amiibo for that set became Little Buddy, her pet Salmonid. Veronika plays a role as New Agent 3. In Coroika, Kaori becomes Headphones, Mizuho is Bobble, John is Goggles, the main character (Coroika heavily focuses on male characters as an alternative to the games, which are made to focus on the girls), the purple I believe became Rider but I'm not quite sure, Surume as I've said doesn't have one, Cuttlefrsh became Gloves, and Veronika became Mitsuami. (The English version calls Mitsu Braid, but literally everyone hates all of the English names for the Splatoon 3 arc, so we call her Mitsuami regardless.) I should note they are separate characters- there are personality, weapon, appearance and role changes that make the Coroika characters distinct from the promo kids. If anyone's got questions I'm happy to answer, and if you read this far... Well, show the promo kids some love, eh? There's eight for each game except for S2 who got ten after Octo Expansion gave us Patricia and Steven. All the names come from the Nintendo directs where they make their appearances.

5:07 and yet despite this, Ken, Sephiroth, and Kazuya each have a move with “hell” in their name, even being shown in the loading tips Ken: *Hell* Wheel (back throw) Sephiroth: *Hell’s* Gate (down air) Kazuya: Gates of *Hell* (⬇️↘️⬇️ + grab)

Remember when he said ultimate would likely never get more content? It did. We got more spirits

8:46 To be fair... Zelda's appearance in Link to the Past and Link Between Worlds is _basically_ the same (in fact, the crown is different in the Link to the Past artwork, so it actually DOES resemble Link Between Worlds more).

14:18 Well, if I may chime in with a useless fact of my own, that's not actually a latin "H" (/eɪtʃ/), but a cyrillic "Н" (/n/), an analogue to the latin "N" and what is written in the name is "Null-Costume" or "Zero-Suit". "Нуль" has the same latin origin as the German "Null" both meaning "Zero" and as for "Костюм", the Russian language doesn't have seperate words for what the English language would call "Suit" and "Costume", so they call both of those things by the same name, that being "Костюм", or "Costume" as it is in the English language.

Fun fact: at the end of a match when looking at the statistics you can go back from having selected „ready for the next battle“ with the screen still fading to black and going to the stage selection by pressing B a split second before it continues. Normally it only continiues when all players have selected „ready for the next battle“ so i‘m guessing its an oversitement. Whenever i play smash with friends we make kind of a game out of it to get the timing right :)

"My friends are my power" applies to assist trophies too I see. All the more proof Sakurai is a kingdom hearts fan.

18:12 Lucario did not take over a year to appear in a videogame. In Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue team, once you hit the Max Rank (Called Lucario Rank), A statue of lucario would appear in the Team Base. Red Rescue team released on November 17, 2005. So it took just over 4 months for him to be tied to a video game.

28:32 this also means that Richter is objectively (by a very tiny amount) better than Simon, because his down special can do damage to Olimar's red Pikmin.

It's never useless when it's PJiggles content 🙏

Not sure if this was ever brought up, but when Hero starts to do his smash attacks, a small jingle plays, which is the same jingle that plays in Dragon Quest games when a character attacks in battle.

I can’t believe it. My knowledge that Link’s crossbow training exists has finally paid off. I was able to call it before he even finished the fact

For Daisy's fact, the most likely reason that also explains the use of "a Toad" instead of just "Toad" is that Peach's is THE toad. The one in all the non mainline mario games and such. So while nb icon Toad is great, the more likely explanation is that Daisy view the Mushroom kingdom as inferior, and its citizens as non human

For Samus, I actually noticed that the lights on her suit and visor will change to different colors if the alt she's using has different light colors. I don't remember exactly what they are, but I know that one of Samus' alts has a blue visor by default and the lights change to something besides blue.

For Kazuya, his heavy d-tilt being cancellable is an actual thing in recent Tekken games. And it is actually used for mixup purposes there, as it leads into his rising jab attack in Smash, e.g. his WR 2 move in Tekken terminology. A cool easter egg I think.

I believe the Aura property on Richter's holy water is a reference to some Castlevania games using equipment and techniques with 'Aura' in the name, and giving them Holy properties, so this wraps that back around.

Ike's clapping animation also has a small difference in the angle he holds his arms at!

Did you know mii brawlers burning side kick can be a lot faster by B reversing?

For the Byleth fact, in Japanese the characters' names are different according to gender. Bereto being male Byleth, and Beresu being female Byleth, so the splash screen may looks less confusing!

19:56 When I saw Villager's pose, my brain immediately said "Villager in Ness up taunt pose" Funny how the human mind works

22:05 One of my favorite details in this game was how the sword trails change depending on which outfit the Mii Swordfighter was wearing. Seeing that they added the respective trails to the Persona protagonist costumes like Joker blew my mind!

When Viridi mentions Ryu’s encounters, she also mentions Mutants, which can also serve as a reference to the X-Men of Marvel vs Capcom and more obscurely, she mentions Androids/Cyborgs which could reference characters such as Alisa and Jack from the Tekken series as there was a Street Fighter x Tekken crossover game. Could be a stretch but just a thought. 24:37

23:00 Reminds me of how GD Colon got the coins in subzero changed

I think the only reason Hell Hawk was changed on Falcon was because it was changed in earlier games, Ken and Kazuya both have moves that have hell in their names (Ken back throw Hell Wheel and Kazuya command grab Gates of Hell), so it was just for consistency with older instances of the censorship

I know it's a little late, but I have a cool fact about G&W. I think G&W is the only character that gets his double jump back after using his Final Smash. I think that the game believes he is grounded while in his Octopus state. That's why when he jumps out of his Octopus, you can use his double jump again. I don't know if there are other characters with that quirk, but I know that this was never patched for G&W, at least.

16:32 Ness does learn PK Flash in his home game Even more ironically, Lucas also lears PK Flash in Mother 3...only for Smash to give him PK Freeze
