How Nintendo REALLY Picks Smash DLC Fighters 

"So what specials should we give hero?" "...yes."

I can tell the production budget was around 1 billion pounds.

"How is Pikachu not being nerfed yet" *Says the guy with a Pikachu shirt*

Saying "by hopcat ,starring little z" is a fancy way to say "by me , also my friend is in it".

"Nobody's maining plant" I died right there lol

I was smiling ear to ear for the whole thing.

The biggest joke was "Nintendo" and "support competitive" being in the same sentence

"I thought it was an inanimate object" Plants: are alive

“hey how about mario” well I don’t really remember anything related to Mario in smash games

“Nobody likes comeback mechanics”. People who main Lucario: am I a joke to you

I really enjoyed this! Especially since Little Z just is wearing shorts instead of the full suit, and HopCat is wearing a Pikachu shirt but actually said nothing about Pokémon.

"Do you remember growing up with fire emblem?" "No-" "Yes. Yes you do."

Nintendo: make ur dream character Hop: Waluigi Nintendo: lets add Min Min

This reminds me of a high school project and I absolutely love it 😂

"Shhhhhhhhh! They'll hear you!" "I'm sure no one is even waiting for Banjo and Kazooie" b a n j o a n d k a z o o i e "Guh-huh" *Guh-huh* -Guh-huh- *GUH-HUH* *GUH-HUH* *GUH-HUH* *GUH-HUH* *"RUUUUUUN"*

This was actually pretty hilarious

"Pls don't take this as a serious criticism of Nintendo" Well seems the comment section didn't watch the video

Literally one of the greatest videos I’ve ever seen.

“This is all a joke for fun!” No I’m pretty sure this is exactly how it went down.

"Wait! Come back we're adding Minecraft Steve!" Hopcat: "you what!?!"

We need more of these Skits

"tHiS gAmE iS fOr GoOd BoYs AnD gIrLs" -Daddy Sakurai

“Do you remember playing King of Fighters on your Neo Geo?” “no”

Doesn't even bring up the most powerful crits of them all from earthbound. SMAAAAAAAAASH! The crit dialogue is literally the name of the game.

The next DLC character: “Hey, remember that rock that appeared in that one game? I can’t remember what it’s called but I-“ “Are you suggesting we put a rock as a DLC charac-“ “Fire Emblem! The rock that appeared in Fire Embl-“ “I love it, let’s do it”

“This is all a joke for fun” Except for the sole fact that the Byleth one wasn’t a joke. (We all know how you really feel Hopcat)

The distant Guh hucking at3:30 almost killed me

6th DLC Character: ARMS

I just love how little z is wearing shorts while his torso looks formal

The Terry part killed me. So painfully accurate.

can't wait for part two of this in a year.

Sakurai: Now before we begin with the next update for Smash. I’d like to announce the name of our new DLC character! Dante: YAY! YEAH! AWOOO! A-WOO! YEAH! NOW WE’RE TALKIN’ YEAH! AWOO! *SHH!* Sakurai: Ahem. Yes, well, anyway, the new DLC is a loyal hard working video game character. Dante: Yes! Sakurai: The obvious choice for DLC. Dante: He’s right! Sakurai: The name you all know, it’s from a beloved franchise. Dante: That’s me! Sakurai: Please welcome our new DLC character: Byleth Eisner! Dante: YES!!! YEAH!!! AWH... BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME BUDDY! WOO!!! WOO-HO-HOO!!! YEAH, AL-RIGHT!!! WOO!!! Characters of Smash Bros. As the DLC character of... Sakurai: Eh... Dante... Dante: Hold the phone folks I’m getting an important news flash from Mr. Sakurai. Go ahead Sakurai-san! Sakurai: *whispers* Dante: I’m making a complete what of myself..? Sakurai: *whispers* Dante: The most embarrassing thing you’ve ever seen..? Sakurai: *whispers* Dante: And now it’s worse because I’m repeating everything you said into the microphone..? Sakurai: Oh for crying out Dante, you didn’t get into Smash! Dante: What..?! Sakurai: You... did not... get... into Smash! Dante: But... but why..? Sakurai: Awh, Dante, you’re a great video game character, but I gave the slot to Byleth because being DLC is a big responsibility. Well, let’s face it, he’s more of uhh... sword fighter than you. Dante: I’m not a sword fighter..? Sakurai: (Sigh) lad... I mean this is the nicest of ways, but there’s a word for what you are, and that word is... uhh... now let’s see uhh.. Dimitri: Dork..? Sakurai: No, that’s not right, not a dork... umm... Edelgard: A goofball..? Sakurai: Closer but no, no, no... Seteth: A ding-a-ling..? Claude: Ring-nut..? Rhea: A knucklehead-Mc-spazitron! Sakurai: OKAY! THAT’S ENOUGH! Look, what I’m trying to say is, you’re just a 3rd party, and to be a 1st Party, you have to be from Nintendo, otherwise it won’t make money. You understandager..? I mean, do you understand..? Dante: I guess so, Mr. Sakurai... Sakurai: Dante..? Dante: I’m ready, depression... I’m ready, depression...

It’s true though. This is a true story.

Hello. Just meeting my requirements.

This is genuinely how it happened tho. When they were doing this, I was in Little Z's place. You can all thank me, angry smash fans!

"What do you mean they'll hear me?" *A wild glass of water has appeared!*

Please make a part 2 to this when this fighter passs ends this is 1 of my favorite videos that any of the under dogs made (I mean like if little z or poppy 1 made it)

Hopcat: so no one is maining plant Introspective: excuse you

LittleZ: let's had a 2nd mario charter hopcat:yeah walui-lityleZ: GOOMBA

Definitely down for more of this type of content

“I know there’s lots of characters people want us to put in the game, but what about a character than nobody asked for, almost nobody knows and is from a NEW game instead of a good old memorable game!” -“Min Min arms herself!”

I love how little z sed downwards guns and only after that he sed "and for his neutral special he wields a gun"

"How is the most recognizable game in history, *how has pikachu not been nerfed yet*" Best line in the video

Sometime later. Hopcat comes back to the working place Little Z: “oh hey! Your back! Ya know I was just finishing the new dlc character for the second pack, and I have a great idea!” Hopcat: “okay! What is it!” Little Z: “ I am thinking of putting in a Mario character to take out the the assist trophy side, and make it a playable character! You know who I am talking about?!” Hopcat: “waluigi?” Little Z “Hammer bro!-“

this was great. WE NEED MORE OF THESE!

lmao hopcat's face when little z said he's been playing a lot of fire emblem

Min Min addition: Hop: "So we need a shorter range character, the last distance demon we released didn't go so well." Little Z: "I hear you, I hear you. Buuuut... I've been playing ARMS and I think we need an ARMS rep." Hop: "Did you even listen? ARMS isn't even that popu-" Little Z: "So how about we give them an ultimate gimping tool, a literal ball of death, and a dragon that kills you at 20!" Hop: "Why? That sounds completely broken!" Little Z: "Your input doesn't matter to me right now, I'm too busy adding a powered up version of the dragon that kills you at 0." Hop: "Nope, not doing this."

I remember when Joker was announced I talked to my friend and I was like "I don't know much about Persona, but if Joker uses an actual freaking gun I will main him." You can probably tell how that turned out.

This really reminds me of Screen Rant's "Pitch Meeting" series, and I love it. You should do another one of these videos for Fighter Pass 2

“ for good boys and girls “ meanwhile new dlc kills and throws them into a volcano

Great stuff man. Well written. I'd love to see more of this kind of content in the future!

5:38 At this moment he knew the world would end with hatred

He said “nobody is maining plant.” I mained plant until a month after byleth came out.

This was honestly pretty hilarious and a great mix-up for the gameplay videos. Me like this! :D

How isn’t Pikachu nerfed yet? Nintendo:He isn’t busted ESAM:PIKACHU BUSTED

3:00 this was the funniest part

God bless you Hop you're brilliant

I honestly think this is his best video until now! Watched it like 10 times! Keep it up

We need a part 2 when the rest of the dlc are released!!

Wait how did you got that footage? Does your uncle work in nintendo?

I demand a squeal when fighter's pass 2 is done

5:44 you can see the PAIN in his face

He should do a part 2 when the next dlc is released

"Hey, I think we should start the second Fighters Pass with a bang" "Who could start it with a bang?" "Waluigi, Master Chi-" "Oh! oh! I got an idea" "Ge-" "ARMS" "What???? nobody plays ARMS!!!" "Don't worry, it will REACH the peak of hype!" "..." "What? you didn't get the joke? ARMS? reach with the arms?" "You're not funny"

The triple upload an hour ago by you three! Content overload by a bit but it burns through work time nicely

I'm so hyped for future skits on this channel

I love the little smile Hop has when he's trying to look upset. All in all, great video! Lighting could have been better, but really enjoyed the watch!

No one : Absolutely no one : Nintendo: fire emblem ?

I was waiting for hopcat to recommend Sora and Little Z would say “HAH no Byleth”

That was great, Hoping to see one for the second fighter's pass too!

You guys should be nominated for oscars with this acting performance

GUH HUH intensifies

2:26 complete savageeeee lmao

Plot Twist: Little Z is actually deciding who the dlc characters are and this is a actual Nintendo conference

2:01 Everyone: Which skills will they use for specials? Nintendo: ALL of them!

3:35 is very accurate.

They should have included something about there being 6 new dlc chatacters in the skit at the end. Otherwise, great video!

*one for minecraft steve* hc: "hey, we're getting alot of requests for really popular characters like sans, bandana waddle dee, geno, toad, ste- lz: "what?" hc: "oh just toad." lz: "no the one you were gonna say." hc: "steve?" lz: "brilliant! let's put in bomberman mii costume."

I love that they say that the smash balot is next to the plans to soport competitive sen because they dont use any of them.

The Terry segment was perfect

5:34 You can just see the color drain from HopCat's face

This made my day keep up the good work

Wow another great Netflix documentary This video was seriously funny and I thoroughly enjoyed it Thx Hopcat

"Nintendo wants to know your location"

Is part 2 coming out after the second pass is finished

This is beautiful. I've been watching this for hours

that first bit really crushed my soul 😔 poor waluigi he deserves WAY more :)

I hate how this feels accurate

"But I've been playing a lot of fire emblem lately"

Y’all are so professional it’s profound

The banjo and kazooie was the best reveal from them XD LOL

Aren't there also critical hits in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the 7 stars?

157K subscribers? I used to have that many you know, before RU-vid screwed me over!

I bet this was so much fun recording as it is for watching. Great work!!

Hop: Alright we need a strong start for the second fighter pass, something on the level of joker. Little Z: *slurp* this ramen is really good! *slurp*

5:38 the look of pure disappointment

Dlc in a nutshell

He Don’t Miss on these skits!!

This was hilarious!!! Great job you two

I'm here thinking: "what the hell was Nintendo thinking when they decided Byleth was going to be a good character to be added in smash?"
