The Super Smash Bros. Iceberg: Explained

[Music] super smash bros has a lot of really interesting rumors and lore this lends itself to being a great game for an iceberg so i went on reddit and i found this great thread the links will be down in the description i actually worked with the creator on this so hopefully i can explain things properly and won't get confused as we dive deeper there's a lot of information in here so i can't really go too much in depth with each of them but it should be enough to where you can get a good idea of what i'm talking about i'll leave all the sources down in the description without any further ado let's go [Music] masahiro sakurai is the creator of smash bros there's not much else to say on that subspace emissary is the story campaign in super smash bros brawl it's where the idea of having all these characters coming together and interacting in the same universe is fully realized i think everyone liked it conceptually but there are mixed opinions on how well it was done in practice given how it was set up in that game coin battles used to be a game mode they've been around since melee but they got removed and smashed ultimate giga bowser was first seen as a hidden boss in melee's adventure mode as well as one of the final opponents in event mode he then evolved and became a final smash in brawl and has been ever since in ultimate however he doesn't have a full moveset and kind of works like dragoon where he teleports into the background and hits everyone within a given space in a 2015 interview sakurai stated his cat was named fukura the cat was originally thought to be inside the pokemon stadium to ice transformation but this was confirmed to not be the case during the terry reveal sakurai addressed why he didn't add may as a cameo for fatal fury he said and i quote super smash bros ultimate is a game for good boys and girls of many different ages so we decided not to feature her please forgive us it's implied that she was left out because nintendo was worried about keeping smash's rating as low as possible and because of her traditionally suggestive outfit this would not fly well with ratings taboo is the final boss in the subspace emissary campaign if pitt uses his down taunt twice in quick succession on palutena's temple palutena's guidance will be activated this works both in smash 4 and smash ultimate however notably it doesn't work for dlc fighters several characters primarily pitt and palutena will have a conversation about a random opponent it's similar to snake's codec conversations on shadow moses island in brawl the taunt however is not available on battlefield and final destination forms in the subspace emissary campaign you can use stickers that you've collected to modify and enhance your character the stickers are from characters within the smash franchise custom moves are modifications to the special moves of every character in smash 4. they are in smash ultimate but they're exclusive to me fighters xander mobis is the announcer for both smash ultimate and smash 4. street smash is a mode in smash 3ds it's a mini game utilizing the 3ds street pass functionality the game involves controlling a token and attempting to knock the opponent's token off the stage master hands left counterpart he has more spasmodic movement and different attacks he's fought if you finish classic mode on a high enough difficulty originally called the hot hot effect rage is a hidden mechanic in smash 4 and smash ultimate where your attacks have more knock back the more damage you have on yourself the effect starts at 35 percent and caps at 150 percent in smash ultimate the effect has been toned down these were the dlc characters for smash ultimate fighter pass vol 1 includes joker hero banjo and kazooie terry and bilith fighter pass 2 as of the time i'm writing this january 4th 2021 has minman steve and sephiroth free melee is a hashtag that went viral a few times when nintendo tried to shut down the competitive melee community it originally started with the big house online event but we later learned nintendo has been out to kill the competitive smash community for years now what's more accurate is the save smash hashtag these are basically requirements the fans have made it basically goes every new character has to be from a video game and the character can't be an assist trophy me costume or pokeball aside from the first requirement the rest of these have not been confirmed super smash bros originally had generic fighting models and was called dragon king fighting then sakurai asked if they could have nintendo characters they agreed and the game was repurposed and replaced with nintendo characters and ultimately was rebranded super smash bros wave dashing is an advanced melee technique that is used by jumping and air dodging directionally left or right this opens up a lot of movement options and greatly increases the game's skill ceiling it's been removed in every smash game since and only carries small traces of it in smash ultimate might as well tackle this one while i'm here l canceling is an advanced technique in melee that allows your attacks to receive half the landing lag when done when pressing l r or z seven frames before you land melee was developed in 13 months as it had to come in the holiday season of 2001. sakurai called his lifestyle during this period destructive with no holidays and short weekends nintendo wi-fi connection was the wi-fi server for super smash bros brawl it has since been discontinued this was a really popular leak before smash ultimate came out that revealed a lot of characters it was more believable than most leaks and people got excited however the leak ended up being a hoax on october 10th when sonic was added to the game super smash bros brawl had been delayed from december 3rd to february 10th on january 14th the game was delayed again to compensate for this olimar was released on the dojo the week before and sheikh was revealed during that week in the japanese and early american versions of melee positioning the camera through the hair and the back of daisy's trophy reveals a third eye that looks completely different from the other two it was fixed in subsequent releases an april fool's joke pulled by the video game themed electronic gaming monthly said that sonic and tails could be unlocked by defeating 20 or more enemies in cruel melee upon completing classic mode with either of them it was also claimed that the player would get a special surprise there is however no data on sonic or tails found in melee's code and all these methods have been debunked there was a demo for smash 3ds where you can play as mario mega man link pikachu and villager against a computer player or in local multiplayer for two minutes you can play the demo 30 times on your 3ds if you look around on my channel hard enough you can even find me playing this demo you can play as master hand play as all black characters play a zero second match and play by yourself using some name entry exploits there's a one controller and a two controller method for playing as master hand i'll explain the two controller method because it's much more simple but i'll leave the one controller method down the description to perform it have two controllers one controller on player three and another controller on any other port have the one controller that's not player three select a character and then hover over the back button while the one in the third port goes to select a name and have them hover over the new entry button both controllers must hit a at the same time to select their option and then the stage select screen will appear on whatever stage is selected player 3 will be master hand to play by yourself in versus mode once the cursor is over the name field the player should press a and b simultaneously the player should release a but continue holding b the player should scroll down to name entry then the player should press a at the correct time while still holding b if this is timed correctly the player will go into the stage selection screen 20xx is a prediction that in some ominous year 20xx every player will have chosen a mastered fox to such a perfect degree that the winner will be determined entirely by who has poor priority 20xx is also a training mod you can download for melee and play on your pc through dolphin or install into your memory card the subspace emissary conquest was the longest piece of english literature for around 10 years it had over 4 million words this all changed in 2017 another fanfic known as ambience of fleet symphony took its spot usually seen on temple on these two areas you use a super scope along with the reflectors and then throw a turnip in the middle make sure friendly fire is off and set it up like this this is some mix of projectiles reflecting across each other i'm not sure how this works when you jump in there it's basically an instant ko it also has the potential to crash your gamecube though so be wary of that this is a mysterious stage in smash 64. you can't unlock it it's only an event mode match against metal mario and it's the only smash 64 stage that has never been remade amiibos are infamous for having a lot of defective models some of the famous ones are the two arm cannon samus and the tail head pikachu there's a theory that super smash bros is just a child's imagination i'll talk about it more later on but generally master hand and crazy hand are the child's actual hands the trophies and toys that come to life are really just a child's imagination we see the character's hand in the smash 64 in melee openings taboo holding master hand is symbolic of this child who's growing up into an adult but you know still wants to play with his toys but of course playing with childish nintendo toys is considered you guessed it taboo there's a very in-depth video by game theory if you want to know more about this project m is a mod for super smash bros brawl created to emulate melee's fast-paced gameplay it's a joy to play and i honestly think that every smash fan owes it to themselves to at least play the game it's honestly one of the greatest fan creations of all time it's been sort of revitalized and rebranded as project plus so i recommend looking into that actually the smash bros dojo is a website that would give daily updates on super smash bros brawl before that game came out this was a ballot that allowed fans to choose who they wanted to be added into smash 4. chain grabbing is an exploit in melee and brawl that allows you to continuously grab a character racking up easy percent famous ones being brawl ice climbers and melee marth while we're at it let's talk about wobbling in melee ice climbers could grab you continuously and for as long as they want pummeling you to death sdi stands for smash di it's more accurately described as hit stun shuffling it's a mechanic that allows the player to slightly alter their position during hit leg from being hit by an attack tapping the control stick in any direction during the second hit leg frame and onward will slightly move the character in that direction allowing them to potentially escape multi-hit moves in certain combos meteor smashes are attacks where after a certain number of frames you can jump out spikes on the other hand you can't jump out of until the hitstun is completely finished this is because spikes send you at a slight angle downwards as opposed to meteors which send you straight down before smash came out they had a 50 fact extravaganza where they revealed 50 facts about smash 4. not much else to say on that i explained l cancelling before so just apply that definition for here for some reason in melee mr gaiman watch can't l cancel some of his moves it's likely because he was a light addition to the game similar to roy and his messed up hitboxes in that situation there's a mode in smash for wii u where you can use the 3ds as a controller given they also have smash 4. neat ditto is a pokemon that was removed in super smash bros melee just prior to its release its purpose was to create an ai copy of the user's character which would aid them in battle the green shell glitch is a glitch in smash 64 involving the usage of rapid hitting attacks on a pile of green shells as the attack hits the green shells they will hit each other in an infinite loop causing the attacker to be locked in freeze frames until the green shells all vanish should there be an opponent in the mix they'll take 999 percent damage from the sequence the debug menu is an element of development that was left in super smash bros melee within the menu the player has control over almost all aspects of the game including non-playable characters non-playable stages single player stages special cpu behaviors and more in order to get the debug menu on the gamecube an action replay device must be used while we're on that note anakia you can see the spelling there is a stage remnant in super smash bros melee that can only be accessed through the debug menu both evidence left in the game and the comment by masahiro sakurai confirmed that the stage is intended to be a fire emblem stage fire emblem is the only universe with playable characters and no playable stage in the final game and the game crashes when you try and load it if the player pauses and turns the camera all the way to the right or the left a black wall marked with the word danger can be seen which is appropriate given the fact that both sides are in areas past the blast zones there's a theory that pichu from melee evolved into pikachu from brawl that's why pichu wasn't in brawl the evidence for this is that brawl pikachu had the same blue swim goggles that the alton melee pikachu had shortly after the official announcement of the four super smash bros an image circulated around the internet detailing what appeared to be an advertisement or design document that was said to be from the official nintendo headquarters in japan for super smash bros universe multiple image boards worked to translate the document leading to some supposed preliminary idea for the games sakurai however stated he had not been working on the new super smash bros at the time and he was focusing on kid icarus uprising the documents were later disproven when it was demonstrated that the game's title would not be super smash bros universe this is sort of a meme but also a fact of the matter that super smash bros as it currently stands is probably the biggest crossover in the history of anything if you don't want to buy that interpretation then it definitely is the biggest crossover in gaming no one other than nintendo would be able to do this so this is actually pretty incredible laws 18 was a prominent leaker in the early middle portion of smash ultimate's pre-release cycle though he started out as a legitimate leaker he soon was exposed to not be all that reliable notably his rise began with a threat posted in june 11 2018 stating that every character from every pass smash game would be returning moveset details for inkling link as well as the design changes for ganondorf and zelda and their incarnations in ocarina of time and a link to between worlds respectively every character has an unused animation that would instantly kill them when activated it's speculated that this would have been an unused stage ko for example getting eaten by piranha plant goldeneye 007 was an n64 classic so for melee james bond was actually rumored to be a smash bros character the idea actually originated with nintendo funny enough eventually they decided not to do it sakurai said this on the matter showing realistic guns is no good character uses an actor's likeness is no good since the original game is based on a movie getting those rights is no good rare's property is no good blocked on all fronts so this never happened but just imagine what world we'd be living in if james bond was in super smash bros you have any idea what kind of worms that opens goku would be a legitimate possibility for smash bros as you know the whole originating in a video game argument would be completely moot was this for the better i don't know you tell me in brawl if ike uses his up b right before dying in stamina mode with a flower he won't come back there's a beating heart in ridley's chest in metroid when you play against him in regular boss battles there's just a bunch of weird textures for the heart but when you look at his trophy and zoom in you'll find that there's a proper texture for the heart a stage called test can be accessed through the debug mode the cafe in the background is unknown yet it's theorized to be a scene in the now closed cafe verona in palo alto which is apparently in california there was a poster detailing the fighter pack at a 7-11 where they correctly revealed some characters before they were released they got hiro banjo and steve correct there's an unmasked samus trophy in melee maybe there's some other lore to this i don't really know just it's just a trophy why is this so deep on the deep dive i don't know another one i don't really get is masterpieces masterpieces are free limited trials of classic nintendo titles which the characters from super smash bros brawl and super smash bros wii u have appeared when the trial runs out a message appears telling you that it's essentially over in the wii u version of smash 4 there is a link telling you to go to the nintendo eshop to buy the game kirby says jigglypuff's japanese name putin when using rollout there was a mario and yoshi trophy given away at melee in a japan only event captain falcon's model has a gun and a holster but it's never been used on the stage magic hand there are flying men characters not like literal flying men the flying men appear to be 2d sprites similar to their original appearance in earthbound however in development a 3d model was also created it was scrapped for the sprite obviously this was done because it lessened the strain on the 3ds hardware and i'm sure the team thought it looked better as well the scrapped model was modified to be used as the flying man me costume text for rob in the boxing ring makes reference to his role in subspace emissary so this makes you question whether the subspace emissary campaign is canon or not mr gaiman watch as we know him in smash never appears in the game and watch games he's basically just a collection of all the different mini games in the game and watch game so basically he's like the only original smash bros character if you think about it like that [Music] there's a theory that super smash bros is actually experienced through the mind of an autist similar to the theory about smash being played through the imagination of a child there's a really in-depth video on this made by noggin that will explain it in much more detail than i will so i'll just try and briefly summarize basically autistic kids come in all sorts of shapes and sizes but overall most importantly they have a tendency to become hyper obsessed with things and pay super attention to detail because of the way some of them use their imagination it makes a lot of sense that they would use their own hands as the characters to fight so like you know that goes with master hand and crazy hand unlike the general population autists don't tend to grow out of their obsessions which is why they attach onto things as a child and usually don't grow out of them it explains why autists take up a large portion of fan series like my little pony minecraft and of course nintendo similar to what i said about the imagination section as he grows older he gets action figures and trophies instead of just toys like before there's honestly so much more to this that i can't do the video justice i recommend you just go watch it multiple unused character files were found in brawl sometimes colloquially referred to as the forbidden seven they consist of promet mewtwo roy dr mario toon link toon sheik dixie as the files themselves are empty the file names are a very good indication of what was supposed to be inside them there is very little ambiguity about them the file named pro may is uncertain though it is commonly theorized to be the pokemon plussel and minum as their japanese names are pronounced purasuru but that doesn't make any sense because the ice climbers have separate character files for the two separate characters nana and popo and it also doesn't make any sense because all the other pokemon names are translated like for example mewtwo is mewtwo instead of the japanese pronunciation mutsu the in-game trophy for plussel and mainum is also named prasal and mainum in the code further deconfirming this theory primai has also been theorized to represent every player mai can be translated from japanese to english to mean every while prague can be translated to be player so with that in mind every character can be theorized to mean either the random button or the me's this is the number on the barrel cannon as an item in melee and as a stage hazard in congo jungle and jungle hijinx crash and burn was an unused bonus in melee's adventure mode which was awarded for missing all of your meteor attacks it was the only negative bonus me bullying was the reason me's weren't playable in smash 4's online as sakurai feared that meis would be used for bullying it's unknown where galeem and dark khan's origins come from same can be said for taboo dark khan represents the fans in the theory that states that dark khan represents the negative energy and anger of the smash community conversely galeem represents nintendo and the corporations again there's a really in-depth video by game theory that's worth checking out so i'll leave that in the description that really brief summary i gave only begins to scratch the surface in smash 64 pikachu and jigglypuff both have unused costumes with pikachu getting a yellow hat and jigglypuff getting a yellow bow these costumes have stock icons as well space jumps are maneuvers done by player 2 and subspace emissary when used player 2's character is quickly relocated to wherever player 1 currently is regardless of the obstacles in the way i don't know why this is so low on the deep dive i mean i did this all the time when i used to play smash bros brawl with my brother one of the textures on peach's golf club is actually a pixelated ar-15 all right yeah that'll be it for the deep dive i hope you enjoyed i hope you maybe learned something new let me know how you feel about some of these again all the links are in the description i'll catch you all next time alright [Music] peace [Music]
