I’ve already gotten several comments saying I’ll never run out of ideas or that I have run out… which is it guys…. Better keep your story straight…

Dr. Mario's title in Dutch essentially translates to "A Tough Pill to Swallow", and that goes HARD.

Mario having the title of "Mr. Videogame" in the biggest videogame crossover of all time is basically perfect, I seriously love how Smash always talks about how iconic and important Mario is to gaming in stuff like this, the Codec calls, Palutena's guidence and any other thing describing him, he's just that legendary

Insane that Joker's title isn't just "Phantom Thief of Hearts", "The Trickster", or "The Wildcard", his actual titles used in P5

The whole “chosen by the keyblade” thing is even less cool when you consider that Sora was canonically the keyblade’s second choice. Like, he wasn’t chosen, he just happened to be the only other option present when the first choice fell through.

15:03 I love that you can’t even see his character model due to the already dark background, just his eyes. That goes hard.

I‘m sorry, but “Bark, Quack, Boom“ goes fucking hard and I will definitely make it my senior quote

Fun fact: the french ring title for Piranha Plant is "les dents de la terre", it means "the teeth of the earth" and it's a reference to the french name of jaws(1975), "les dents de la mer" (the teeth of the sea)

4:37 “if I was evil” don’t worry bro we know what you are

fun fact: the display that appears between the character portraits is actually lifted directly from the original Punch-Out!! arcade game, which is a really neat reference to a pretty obscure piece of nintendo history

Nah, I was also convinced it would be Mario at #1. The rest of them are titles made to make the character sound or look cool/intimidating, or even clever references to the series, but Mario's is just so simple and to the point. Mario IS That Guy. Hes Him. Its so effective, especially the "himself" part cause its basically saying "This man doesnt even NEED an introduction. Yall already know who this is"

9:03 "Ashen Demon" is a lot more intimidating if you do know the lore actually. Byleth is referred to as the Ashen Demon because of "The way she/he takes the lives of their enemies without any emotion on their face" and that is definitely intimidating

Luigi’s title in another language is ‘Lean Green Fighting Machine’. Easy S-Tier pick.

12:46 Can we talk about that save?

Going from "Scoundrel with a fart of gold" into "The BMI Bandit" killed me

Ok so in Smash 4, the boxing ring titles were different between American English and European English. I'll always remember Mario's European title, which is "Smashes Bricks with His Fists" because it might literally be the worst possible description for Mario.

14:44 "The green thunder" could also work really well for Luigi.

Extra fact about Mario's Boxing Ring title: The name "Mr. Video" was actually one of Mario's planned names in Donkey Kong before it was scrapped and changed to Jumpman (and later "Mario" in Donkey Kong Jr.), so his boxing ring title might actually reference that.

"The Prescriber" goes insanely hard

We need to petition Nintendo to change Wolf's title to "Grr."

For Diddy, I would’ve gone with “Best Little Buddy”. It’s not the most intimidating but it’s a little more creative, as it fits with his role in the DK games 😅

The interesting thing about Diddy Kong is that other languages give him MUCH better titles: *The Jungle Acrobat* *Pirouettes and Peanuts* *Trigger Happy with his Peanut Popgun* *The Fastest Peanut-Shooter in the Jungle* And possibly the most intimateding... *Small monkey with a BIG weapon* ... Yeah maybe that isn't such a good one...

I respect the Mario #1 placement. In a space filled to the brim with video game characters old and new, how hard is it that you are recognized as THE video game.

Dude Doctor Mario's title is fire. The prescriber sounds like something that might be in an actual boxing match

16:54 Roy’s title sounds like the Daniel vs The Cooler Daniel meme, it fits so well with him too because there are 2 Roys and Roy literally has sunglasses just like the meme

Odyssey: Pikachu is the only character whose title is just noises they make Bark Quack Boom: *Allow us to introduce ourselves*

Mario's title is basically saying "He's him" and if that isn't raw as hell idk what is Also Dr. Mario as THE PRESCRIBER kinda goes hard, I can imagine a Batman villain called that

13:27 Well...there is one other title that comes to mind. Super Fighting Robot. Also fun fact, Kirby's boxing ring title was changed. In Smash 4, he's called what everyone calls him. The Pink Puffball.

2:07 What makes this even funnier (and less intimidating) is that in the lore, Sora wasn't even the keyblade's first choice.

No way "Ashen demon" is that low, it's so damn cool and intimidating

Byleth's moniker is very intriguing when dissecting. Byleth's very name comes from a demon, yet Byleth in FE is a human being. That, along with the fact that Byleth isn't fond of being referred to as such makes it more interesting. They're a human being named after a demon, yet their infamousy as a mercenary with them not emoting much made people not want to see them as anything more than a demon. A very cool yet sad moniker.

17:06 I am amazed at the lack of a cool bowser

I'd honestly say, King Dedede's Title, while not the most intimidating, works well with his character as someone who went from a "king" who basically just gave the title to himself, to someone who his subjects actually admire after the many games of King Dedede's small but nice character arc of being a proper hero.

The Fastest Thing Alive could've also worked for Sonic, but it's a bit wordy

In Japan, Erdrick is THE Legendary Hero. Like, if you were to ask any random Japanese person who they thought of when thinking of the title "The Legendary Hero" (伝説の勇者 Densetsu no Yuusha), 8 out of 10 of them will likely say, "the Hero of Dragon Quest III". The reason why the various Links or the other DQ heroes even have titles other than "The Legendary Hero" is because Erdrick monopolizes it: that's how freakin' big Dragon Quest III is over there.

Bro did Byleth dirty on this one. Its an actual nickname from his game, it deserved to be at least a bit higher

A brief Kirby Lore factoid that makes his fighter name even better. In Star Allies you fight Void Termina as the final boss and in the arena you’ll fight Void as the stronger variant. Void Termina and Dark Matter is what is born if void is born from negative emotions and malice, Kirby is void but pure positivity instead. “The Pink Demon” then works as a reference to a possible outcome where he became a Destroyer of Worlds instead of Destroyer of Cakes.

I appreciate the pun of Shulk's title being "the visionary" but he's one of the characters where the in-universe title would sound perfectly fine and intimidating enough in my opinion, "True Heir of the Monado" has a nice ring to it

That intro with the 'what if you forget their name' with them being some of the most famous video game characters had me laughing more than it should have been

The Pink Demon, Cunning God of Death, The Last of his Kind and Bloom of Your Doom always sounded REALLY cool to me, glad to see someone finally appreciating these 👍 I may or may not have a Brawl bias because I may or may not play it almost everyday

7:53 Missed opportunity for K Rool to be The Kremling Kommander though to reference the DKC1 fake kredits

17:22 I know this was most likely an accident, but I love how the One Winged Angel gets *7th* lmao

Shulk's name definitely should've been, "Heir to the Monado." The reference would go crazy.

Another reason Mewtwo's "A Legend Reawakened" is sick is that Boxing Ring is a Smash 4 stage. Mewtwo came back as DLC in that game, which makes it fit even better.

One thing I like about the boxing ring titles for the Mii Fighters is that, as basic and boring as it is, it kinda implies that they're the same 3 people just constantly shifting and changing their faces at will, fun little piece of lore if that's the case

Attempting to come up with new titles for every character in F-Tier (with varying success): Diddy Kong - Second Banana Yoshi - Jurassic Steed Larry - Larry Sora - The Light Wielder Olimar - The Space Survivor Alph - Koppaite Captain Rosalina and Luma - The Galaxy's Goddess Fox - Ace Aeronaut Chrom - The Shepherd Exalt (thanks Fire Emblem wiki) Hero - The Lore's Legend (yeah I got nothing) Pikachu - The Chosen Banjo & Kazooie - The Raring Duo Wii Fit Trainer - Cardio Conqueror Wolf - Cosmic Criminal Isabelle - Smashville Secretary

In the Wii Fit series the female trainer is usually the mascot of the Yoga class of exercises while the male is the mascot of the Strength training, don't know if the titles are references to that, just want to bring it up

Also the reason why Byleth is called the "Ashen Demon" is because they're well known in their games for killing many without a shred of emotion on their faces. It's also pretty cool playing as a protagonist who has an already confirmed mass kill count lol

The Wiimote Sounds, the Boxing Ring Titles, *these* are the things I love about the Smash Series. Little easter eggs, callbacks or just fun stuff related to everyone's home series. It's not a Crossover if you don't do this at least a couple of times.

2:25 I think "goddess of the stars" would work and sound better.

Min Min's title may not be the most _creative,_ but it makes the most _sense_ for her. EVERYONE in ARMS got a secondary ring title/nickname (like how Spring Man's is "The Bouncer", Ribbon Girl's is "The Airess", Byte & Barq's is "The Clockwork Cops", Max Brass's is "The Commish", Dr. Coyle's is "The Rad Scientist", etc).

9:09 that is Byleth's mercenary name earned through their skill and proficiency. In Three Houses certain bandits face Byleth with Dread and in Three Hopes where Byleth is an antagonist we are able to see how dangerous they are to an opponent

I honestly like this feature, it gives a brief description of the character, so anyone not familiar with them gets an idea of what they're about *to bad that the stage isn't competitively viable, so it'll just go under most people's radar* 💀

I don't know why they didn't call Sora "Guardian of Light", since not only It's an actual title of his, but also the conflict between the Guardians of Light and the Seekers of Darkness is the whole point of the Dark Seeker Saga

Kirby has actually had the title "The Pink Demon" in previous entries, such as Kirby: Planet Robobot. In fact, with the release dates, it can't be for Forgotten Land, as that game came out long after SSBU. Another one of those "home-series titles" (though a damn good one at that)

“Mr. Video Game Himself” is definitely the best title, Mario is recognizable worldwide even by people who don’t play video games and has appeared in more than 200 of them, it’s just so fitting. The title itself is also smug and confident so it goes pretty well with the boxing ring theme.

18:24 i actually saw a meme about this title, except they replaced ridley with the (nerd) inkling boy. yeah

17:59 they should have given him a title that refferences how cool he is.

Fun fact in kof terry is hyped up as the legendary hungry wolf

3:16 YO! Markiplier meme reference! LETS GO! THE BITE OF 87! Also, I find it hilarious that Male Wii Fit Trainer has his own title and Alex doesn’t

"Grrr" would go so hard though

he will never run out of ideas 😂 edit: i might be wrong but isnt this him coming up with an idea after seeing something *similar?* correct me if im wrong but this is his idea im sure

Mario's title is also a reference to Miyamoto wanting to name him Mr. Video in Donkey Kong and include him in every game he made. Not only accurate but also a REALLY niche reference to the goat

13:36 "He's Pit, but Eeeeeevil" He doesn't know 😭😭

Some out-of-context details from Kirby lore: Nightmare demons Attempted suicide by lightning Earth is frozen over An angel of death Heart, Dream, Soul, Dark, Chaos

Insane that you have Mr. Videogame as number one without knowing the reference behind it. Mario was took the name Mr. Video at the same time he was Jumpman before being renamed after Nintendo's Landlord.

The titles in ARMS are pretty much the same, they just pop up in Grand Prix mode before you fight each character or during the intro sequence. Just in case you're curious to see what we could've gotten in an alternate universe where Min Min wasn't picked: Spring Man - The Bouncer Ribbon Girl - The Airess Ninjara - The Student of Stealth Master Mummy - The Grim Creeper Min Min - The Ramen Bomber Mechanica - The Scrapyard Scrapper Twintelle - The Silver Screen Queen Byte & Barq - The Clockwork Cops Kid Cobra - The Speed Demon Helix - The "Man" of Mystery Max Brass - The Commish Lola Pop - The Sucker Puncher Misango - The Spirited Fighter Springtron - The Mean Machine (since Springtron is a special fight in Grand Prix, you only see this when you play as him) Dr. Coyle - The Rad Scientist

9:08 Fire Emblem nerd time The name “Ashen Demon” for Byleth actually became a lot more well known with the release of Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. In Three Houses I think it was mentioned in basically 1 or two support conversations and that’s it, while in Three Hopes that was basically the main way to refer to Byleth. It’s an interesting title to mention since Three Hopes actually only came out in 2022, which is quite a while after Byleth’s DLC release in SSBU

I love how petty is the yoshi title in Spanish "Un gloton que tiene su propia isla y todo" Which traduces to A glutton who has an island and everything

The only tear list Ganondorf places high in💀 16:41

Imagine if the Korean Ring for Sephiroth was named "Le Seraphim". I would drop dead of laughter. Also sounds badass.

Personally I would have loved if Mario had "Jumpman" as a title instead.

Fun fact: In Spanish, Docter Mario's title is "Te receta Jarabe de Palo" (It prescribes you Stick Medicine), with the Sufix "de palo" meaning when someone beat the other dude in a fight, but also "Jarabe de Palo" is the name of a Spanish Rock Band

9:18 Dragovians are human-dragon hybrids, and Eight’s mom is one of them! That makes him a quarter-dragon, which is why he’s my favorite Hero.

Ah yes, *The Acrobat, The Youngest, The Prescriber, The Enforcer* And of course… *BARK, QUACK, BOOM*

6:58 the 4th Wall Sniper

"Pika Pika!" is VERY good! Although, Nintendo should've referenced Ash somehow in Pikachu's title.

5:13 My name is Gustavo, but you can call me mid tier

I honestly thought cool bowser was going to show up for Roy's section. YOU KNOW THE ONE DON'T PRETEND LIKE YOU DON'T!!!

An Odyssey Central video without that Cool Bowser clip... I never thought that would happen...

These have always been one of my favorite details in the series. Mario's title has and always will be my favorite. It truly shows how massive Mario is as a character and I love it for that reason.

“Alph is better than Olimar” as a devoted Pikmin 3 enthusiast, you are absolutely wrong.

Dude, your channel is great. You cover topics and rankings that almost no one would think about, but one's I that I keep having in the back of my mind

YOOOO, I've actually been hoping you'd make this! Love the rankings dude!

The Corrin slander in this video, as a Corrin main I don't know what to think of it, it was kinda expected but it still feels bad lol

13:24 Did you know? The blue bomber is also the bame of the blue robot from rock em sock em robots

4:24 Not to be confused with Luigi, the Green Bane of Ghosts

I am so excited to watch this! You are one of my favorite youtubers, this is my favorite game, and this is one of my favorite stages in this game. I adore the nicknames given to different characters so much, so I'm very excited to see what your ranking looks like. Great job, and have a wonderful day! :)

I think Bowser's should have been "The Cool One"............ *Cool Bowser Music*

if smash doesn't have luigi as "he hopes he get lots of spaghetti" it ain't even a good game.

One thing you forgot to mention in the Mario Section is that it's a reference to how when Nintendo was Renaming Mario one of the names they considered was "Mr. Videogame" but they decided that was stupid and scrapped it.

4:46 I will say this, if there was a game that fits the “Kirby is for babies” stereotype, it would be Star Allies Fun fact: My 6 year old brother 100% that game twice, once when he was FOUR

Here are some that I would've gone with for certain fighters instead of what we got: Diddy Kong: The Jungle Racer - A reference to Diddy Kong Racing, which also happened to be Banjo's first appearance. It also emphasizes his agility and speed while sounding way flashier than just "The Acrobat". Doctor Mario: The Painkiller Killer, or The Toughest Pill - He's here to BRING the pain, not kill it! MUCH more badass than "The Prescriber", although I felt like they were onto something because it feels almost like they were edging toward a WWE name there. Shiek: Master of Disuise - Sounds cooler than what they got, plus it's a reference to the reason why Shiek even exists: in Ocarina of Time, Princess Zelda adopted the disguise of Shiek to evade detection from Ganondorf. King K. Rool: The Kremling Kommander - WHY DIDN'T THEY USE A K INSTEAD OF A C, IT SHOULD'VE BEEN KOMMANDER, THAT'S ONE OF K. ROOL'S BIG SCHTICKS! *C'MON!* Banjo & Kazooie: Perfect Sync - This name is just acknowledging their practically flawless teamwork. They always seem to be on the exact same page for whatever move they're about to do together. Imagine having to do that with someone, even your best friend! You'd probably have a LOT of trouble coordinating attacks together like B&K do! Pikachu: The Yellow Bolt - No brainer. Falco: The Ace of Space - Similar to what we got, but it sounds almost like Ace of Spades, which makes it cooler imo. Steve: The Builder of Worlds, or The Landshaper, or The Terraformer -Any of these makes him sound more grand, plus the Builder of Worlds is a nod to a Terraria boss, the Eater of Worlds. Pac-Man: The Yellow Chomper - Just sounds cooler. Female Wii-Fit Trainer: The Zen Warrior, or Perfect Balance - Cooler than Yoga Warrior. No other notes. Bowser: Tyrant Koopa King - Still keeps the part about him being King of the Koopas, but it has more flair to it with tyrant added, plus it's a reference to what the literal translation of Tyrannosaurus Rex is: Tyrant Lizard King.

surprised to see "the prescriber" so low that was always one of my favs

Great video! Keep up the good work. I’d love to see more experimental videos in the future.

lets gooooo! I unironically wanted a ranking of these for so long 😅

Alph should have been "The Keen Engineer", since in Pikmin 3 he has a conversation with Brittany where she says that nobody calls him that.

"Mario is the face of gaming" But I thought it was Laura Croft

Thanks odyssey for this video, it’s been a rough day but ending it on this video really made me happy

Let's go! I've always wanted a video like this!
