Here’s some explanations on some stuff people are pointing out: - I only included 4 mii costumes, the ones I consider closest to being full characters (Sans, Cuphead, Vault Boy, Bomberman). This is because they look indistinguishable from their actual characters, with no Mii skin showing and proper proportions. I like to include them with characters for a bit of fun, but I understand that putting them at the end with the decade groups is a little strange and farfetched. I promise the 33 and 20 thing was a complete coincidence, I didn’t include the Miis just to make it happen. - Definitely should have included the female Pokémon Trainer Leaf, who debuted in 2004. Since every other gender swap is from the default’s game, I didn’t include any of them, but now I realise Leaf debuted later. - People have told me that the DK from the first game was actually Cranky Kong. I think that’s just more of a fun little easter egg Nintendo made up, and the general public would consider Donkey Kong as coming from Donkey Kong. - Characters like Link and Zelda have their designs from different Zelda games, but the general idea of the characters themselves come from the first one. - Zero Suit Samus refers to Samus wearing the ‘Zero Suit’ not just ‘Samus without a suit’. The Zero Suit debuted in Metroid: Zero Mission. - Similarly, Young Link doesn’t just refer to young Link, but the Link from the first part of Ocarina of Time. - Lucario’s first game, if you don’t like me including the movie he debuted in, was actually Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red / Blue Rescue Team as a cameo in November 2005. Luckily, this puts him in the same place in the timeline. Also, me saying he’s not a video game character was a bit sarcastic. He was obviously just another Pokémon made for a game, but promoted in a movie beforehand. - I just found out that Kazooie was mentioned in the manual for Diddy Kong Racing. That doesn’t count as a physical debut though. Same with Erdrick being mentioned in Dragon Quest 1. - I probably shouldn’t have said Sonic’s debut was the Rad Mobile cameo. He was a literal inanimate object in that game. Sonic the character obviously debuted in Sonic the Hedgehog (1991.) - Since I’m gonna unpin my last comment to pin this one, I forgot Shulk in the 2010s section at 9:20. I think that’s everything. If not, I’ll edit this later. Thanks for the support on this video!

If only we got all-star mode in the same vein as Smash 4, that massive roster in order like this would’ve been a celebration

I have terrible news. I forgot to put Shulk in the 2010s section at 9:20. That means 21 characters debuted in the 2010s, not 20, which messes up the cool coincidence of 20 characters from both the 2000s and the 2010s. You can't have nice things in life.

Wow I didn’t know Snake had started so early on. The sephiroth song is so hype!

Lucario it is a videogame character. In the Pokémon franchise, they have the "tradition" of showing a new pokemon of the next generation in a movie. But bc of that they appear first in a movie it doesn't mean that it not a videogame character

4:25 the first time of Banjo was Diddy Kong Racing. The manual mentioned about the existence of Kazooie

Damn bro. This game has 40 years of video game history

I find it cool that basically no one ever speaks o the koopalngs. even though Bowser Jr. Is kind of the copy of them. Instead of The koopalings being the copies of Bowser Jr

Amazing! Nice work! Man. I love it to see the history of this characters.

Very intertwining and interesting video! Amazing job with the research!

Late to the party but awesome! I love that you put some of the assist trophies in there too. ❤️

the fact that 2000 to beyond there is 13 less characters since sora is in 2002. This was nomura plan this whole time

At this point Roy is a freaking Super Smash Brothers character, instead of a Fire Emblem character.

This is the best video made well done 👍🏻 my guy

Great video, man.

This is amazing, I don't know why this has only 170 views. I appreiciate your hard work and I like the details and the way how you put sans in it and the other mii fighter costums. Well done legend.

So sonic didn't first appear in sonic the hedgehog, banjo and kazooie was only kazooies debut, Fascinating

It was a fun video, thanks!

1990s era video games start *One Winged Angel* as a 90s kid and 1997 OG fan of you know who, this was a glorious victory. happy to know the youtuber knows out of all the 90s characters who to give the song rep to.

Cloud and Sephiroth were in a weird fighting game that came out a bit before FF7

Byleth: I'm so late to be in Nintendo... Mr Game & Watch: Lol, I'm still alive

Btw Lucario’s Movie was made to promote His game, U wouldn’t say a commercial or a reveal trailer was someone’s first debut

Thats pretty good but the only one you forgot is the Female pokemon trainer that she debuted on 2004 on the games Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen.

Great video, I like how you included so many Miis, and Miis are great

Every time a new Smash amiibo comes out I refer to this video so I can set up my display. For example I just came home with Pyra/Mythra. Thank you for this video.

Sometimes I just hope All-Star Mode from Ultimate they can use the debut costumes I mean... like Hero can just use the DQ III one, and so on.

Gran trabajo👍

I was looking for something like this thanks you

god-tier editing, love stats nerds

Come on smash bros fans just because Daisy and Dark Pit are echo fighters doesn’t mean they have to kicked out of smash bros next game

Fun fact: Byleth is the only fighter to be debuted AFTER Super Smash Bros. Ultimate released (2018) with his debut is apparently Fire Emblem Three Houses (2019) Additionally, no fighters in this game are debuted in 2008 and 2018, coincidentally the years that Brawl and Ultimate released, respectively.

各年代からすごくバランスよく参戦してるんやね… 古いキャラクターを新しいキャラクターの隣に置いても古ぼけてないよう作られているのは流石のセンス

Happy Birthday Mr. Game & Watch

while Erdrick made his first physical appearance in DQ3 (1988) he was first mentioned in the first DQ (1986)

The fact that Lucas, Mother 3 as a whole came out the year after I was born which is incredible. I was born in 2005.😆😊

9:26 I understood that reference 👍😄

5:06 Wait, Roy is actually a smash original character, because it even came out before his game even in Japan?

Me gustó mucho el video ~

Most of the player base weren’t born yet in the first batch of fighters 😆

Good video

I was born a month before Sora was created, not on the exact day but just months apart, I was in February and he was created in March. I find it cool to be a month early before a gaming icon lol.

Thank you, Masahiro Sakurai for Nintendo Director in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate All-star Mode. (Everyone is Finally Here!) With all characters and DLC Included

for the ending part, altair (assassin's creed) is also a mii costume

5:57 wait rly? lucario technically was in the movie first before being in any game? hmm... that's interesting acknowledging that Sakurai for the most part lets in new-comers that originate from games also at 4:19, didn't know banjo had an appereance originally in a DK type racing game (even before kazooie was a character)

Awesomeness

Smash Ultimate is truly a celebration of both Nintendo and gaming in general. Now I only hope the next Smash game adds characters that didn't get their chance, like Crash Bandicoot or Master Chief.

I was a grand total of 5 days old when Zero Suit samus' game debut came out

I feel like cameos shouldn't count as full debuts especially in Sonic's case because he wasn't even a character in that game. Also I understand that lucario did debut before the game's release but it was to promote it and to call him a movie character is just plain wrong

Fun fact: The Miis were created anytime since people make new Miis all the time

I like how you put one winged angel in there

I will go to my grave insisting that the Donkey Kong as depicted in Smash did not debut in 1981 alongside Mario, but rather in 1994's Donkey Kong Country as the DK in Donkey Kong is actually DKC DK's grandfather Cranky Kong, canonically speaking. Not sure how that logic applies to other series like Zelda where different incarnations of each character show up around Smash, but I'm sticking by it.

Awesome video 👍 Although an actual timeline like in the thumbnail would have been better

Mr Game & Watch first appeared in 2001. Prior to SSBM there was no character named Mr G&W. Being based on a character doesn’t instantly make you that character.

4:40 A lot of games of that era had November release dates so Nintendo of America could push them for Black Friday sales.

i wish there was a way to rearrange the fighter order from debut date

Could you do the timeline of the assist trophies?

Actually, Mr Game and Watch debuts in Melee cuz Nintendo said that he is not the guy in the Game&Watch console, but actually a different guy that has elements from the original guy.

wouldn't Duck Hunt be from Beam Gun: Duck Hunt from 1976, the duck at least anyways there was also another game from 1973 but i cant find much information on it so im unsure if the duck was in that, maybe the 1973 game isn't even in the Duck Hunt series?

Actually, Fox first appeared in the Star Fox comic of February 1993’s edition of Nintendo Power. However, the first game featuring him is indeed the video game Star Fox. Obviously, that fact is also true for Falco.

Duck Hunt is from 1976 it’s the oldest character in smash started as a gun toy

5:00 Wait so roy is a smash original character?

Byleth was in the game that was made 7 days before he got into smash

Was born the same year Lucario made his debut in 2005. What a coincidence

Zero Suit Samus appear in the Nes Version of Metroid if you finish the game quickly

Could you do a timeline on Nickelodeon All Star Brawl characters?

you forgot that Zero Suit Samus technically appeared in Samus' first ever game.

10:02 what is the font used here?

All perfect! Until you ommit the Goemon Mii costume totally ☹ then it failed perfection and became a super great video with details such as Banjo appearing first in Diddy Kong Racing then Kazooie in Banjo Kazooie ❤

Well he changes some dates of the characters appeared

Princess Peach Came In 1986 Princess Daisy Came In 1989 Princess Rosalina Came In 2007 Ness Came In 1994 Lucas Came In 2006 Villager Came In 2001 Isabelle Came In 2012

Also Pokémon Trainer Female Leaf Debut In Pokémon Leafgreen January 29th 2004 Gameboy Advance

This reminds me the good not that old days of "all stars" ; and not that ... mockery of a mod

So we technically never got a 2018 character

So Sonic was first before Yoshi huh, interesting.

wii fit trainer debut is 1 month after i was born

Perhaps next game we'll get reps to cover the few gap years, 1982, 1995, 2000, 2003, 2008 and 2018. And I guess 2020-whenever

5:57 Lucario IS a video game character. Diamond & Pearl were Lucario's debut games.

Mr. Game & Watch - Ball Pac-Man - Pac-Man Mario & Donkey Kong - Donkey Kong Luigi - Mario Bros. Duck Hunt Duo - Duck Hunt Ice Climbers - Vs. Ice Coimber R.O.B. - R.O.B. accessory Peach, Bowser, & Piranha Plant - Super Mario Bros. Link & Zelda - The Legend of Zelda Samus & Ridley - Metroid Simon - Castlevania Pit & Palutena - Kid Icarus Snake - Metal Gear Ryu & Ken - Street Fighter Little Mac - Punch-Out!! Mega Man - Mega Man Erdrick - Dragon Quest III Koopalings - Super Mario Bros. 3 Daisy - Super Mario Land Solo - Dragon Quest IV Marth - Fire Emblem; Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light Dr. Mario - Dr. Mario Sonic - Rad Mobile (cameo) Yoshi & Captain Falcon - Super Mario World & F-Zero (yep, these were made on the same day) Terry - Fatal Fury: King of Fighters

Yoshi and Captain Falcon debuted in the same Day, but different games I think that is also true for the North American releases Also, Yoshi and Captain Falcon are the only Smash 64 characters who haven't gotten another character from their series yet :(

Damn i wish i was born during solo's time -1990 dragon quest 4

If you understand how the Pokemon Franchise works, than you should realize that Pokemon uses the Anime and Movies to promote next gen games. Lucario may have debut in a movie, but since he was created while DP was in development, Lucario will still be seen as a video game character.

I was born in 2000 and I don't have no characters debuted the same year as me. My brother was born in 1997 so he was the same year as Cloud, Sephiroth, Wolf and Banjo. My sister was born in 1991 and she was the same year as Sonic and Terry.

Well actually,dk' first appearance was in donkey Kong jr because the ape in the arcade game is crankey Kong but younger and dk' Jr is donkey Kong but younger

0:07cthe game and watch song

Actually lucario first appeared in the opening in one of the hoenn intros for pokemon

this is picky, but i wish you included doomguy, dante, the dragonborne and shantae’s miis in the timeline itself. this video is a really good look at how this game is an emblem for the history of games as a whole so far, and i think those two represent some important things in said history.

at the time im watching this it's metriod prime's 19th anniversary lol. and pokemon sun and moon 5th anniversary is tomorrow

Update I'm making dlc fighter pass 3

Interesting so they took a hero from every decade

Lucas was originally supposed to debut in Earthbound 64 and would have released in the late 90s

4:45 Well my birthday is on November 21st, so I don't really mind.

If you didn't know Duck hunt is older than video games.

1:46 Just wanted to say that the protagonist in the arcade Punch-Out!! game really was Little Mac. Other than that, not bad video.

Happy birthday PAC MAN

Lol ness has the same date debut appearance as my birthday

Did you skip Leaf/Green? She first appeared on a book cover, the Pokemon Adventures Manga, before FireRed/LeafGreen.

I forget that kingdom hearts is that old lol😂

Sans,cuphead and bomberman could be upcoming characters
