Super Smash Bros Brawl Cutscenes Reaction 

Seeing all the crossovers in Brawl's story mode was seriously the coolest thing ever as a kid. It was like Nintendo's Avengers!

Backstory about Lucas. His mother died in a terrorist attack, his father abandoned him in grief, his brother was presumed dead from trying to avenge his mother AND to top it all off... He learns his brother is alive but brainwashed, and then his brother dies in his arms after the final encounter. Lucas has a LOT of PTSD

1:31 If you're curious, the reason this is split screen is because you can choose to play as Kirby or Mario, so there's a different cutscene here depending on who you played as.

The audacity of Captain Falcon to strike a pose after killing innocents

1:46 Just love this little detail that Mario is gearing up for battle, unsure of what he's looking at while Kirby seems to be in surprise because he knows that's The Halberd, Meta Knight's ship.

Making a list of things you may have been confused about: -Pit, the angel can only fly if he's given the power by his goddess lady Palutena, the one who gave him the bow. -The toon link cutscene was a little out of place due to him being a secret character, and not actually part of the story. You just unlock him through the story gamemode. This goes for Wolf, as well as Jigglypuff -Wolf is one of Fox's main enemies -Ness and Lucas are from the Earthbound series, which was very popular in Japan -Marth and Ike are from the Fire Emblem series, also a very popular Japanese title -The spilt videos are due to different choices you make throughout the story -Falco is part of Fox's fleet/crew or whatever. They aren't in this game, but the same goes for Slippy Toad and Peppy Hare -The dragon Samus and Pikachu fight is Ridley, one of Samus's main enemies from her games -Olimar is from the Pikmin series -The ship fighting Meta Knight's is the Corneria, Fox's main Ship when he isn't using the arwing ship -The ice climbers are from a very old game with the same name. The blue one is Popo and the pink one is his sister Nana -Lucario is a pokemon who can read the aura's of others. That's how he knows snake isn't an enemy when they meet. -It's not really a secret, but Shiek is Zelda -The black and white guy is Mr. Game and Watch, named after the console he first appeared in back in 1980 -R.O.B stands for Robotic Operatic Buddy, and was an Accessory for 2 games on the NES system in 1985. Fun fact, one of the games involved Gyros, or spinning tops, which was incorporated into his moveset in game as his Down Special -Between the Wario Cutscene and the sonic one, there is actually a lot of gameplay. Tabuu basically creates a massive maze with all the areas that have been black holed in which you have to go through and collect every one as trophies, and beat every boss over again, as well as the shadow versions of certain characters. Once everything has been completed, you get to Tabuu through a massive door and get the reveal of Sonic... even though he was revealed as part of the advertisement for the game iirc... -The Tabuu fight allows you to pick any character in the game. The sonic cutscene is there to let you know that you can now play as him. -I'm not too caught up on the lore of why Tabuu did what he did unfortunately -You are correct that Ancient Minister did have a change of heart. He got real sad seeing his fellow ROBs die :( I hope this helped :D

Actually Pit is unable to properly fly on his own and is granted temporary flight by the Goddess (the green haired lady from earlier) known as Palutena granting him temporary flight as she takes control of his flight path. He is still able to maneuver freely though. But for a very limited time

I think the funniest thing about this story mode to me is how it portrays Olimar as a cute little scared alien, and I mean, I’d be scared too, it’s just so funny looking at him in the game having played the series he’s from and knowing that cute little unassuming alien is a hardworking married man and father and one of the sassiest underpaid blue-collar workers of our time. Love Olimar lmao

Definetly brawl has the best story mode, I love these cutscenes, wish they did this in ultimate too

Sonic in Super Smash Bros Brawl was the biggest thing for me at the time. I know Mario & Sonic likes to have friendly competition in the Olympics, but seeing them fighting in SSBB was so hype.

Random facts: - The giant airship at the beginning is called the Halberd, which is owned by Meta Knight. - The green giant snake thing that Diddy Kong and Fox fights is Raquaza, a legendary Pokémon. - The purple things that form into enemies are called Shadow Bugs. - Lucas is from MOTHER 3, a game in the Earthbound series (same series as Ness). It's infamously known as one of the few Nintendo games that never got localized for western players. Lucas has similar powers to Ness as well. - The giant statue thing and the mecha-spider thing are controlled by a person named Porky, who is the main antagonist of the Earthbound series. - The two guys with the sword that Meta Knight is paired up with are from Fire Emblem. Marth comes from the first game, which never got a western release at the time. - The reason King Dedede for turning fighters into trophies is mentioned in the Brawl website. He's actually trying save them from the Subspace black holes, hence the little brooches he puts on them. - Toon Link, Wolf & Jigglypuff were supposed to have a role in the story but they were late in development. - Lucario is a Pokémon introduced in the fourth generation of the series, which was recent at the time of Brawl's release. - In the same year when Sonic was announced as a character in Smash, Sega and Nintendo worked on a crossover licensed by the Olympic committee where Mario and Sonic competed in the Olympic Games. - Olimar is from the Pikmin series. He is basically a space explorer. The little guys that follow him are called Pikmin and are loyal to Olimar to let him throw them at enemies.

You are correct, in the Finale, there is a very large scale boss with Tabuu where you choose multiple characters from all the ones you saved so far. The credits are actually really epic, and I kind of wish they included them as a cap off... as this kinda just ended. during the fight he actually attempts the wave attack again, and if you miss a very tricky dodge, chances are you lose 1 character instantly.

I feel like Brawl's story mode is a master class in visual storytelling. It's almost an hour of visuals with no dialogue, and yet you can still understand everything that's happening. I think that's really cool.

The end isn't cutscene-heavy because you unlock all the characters and can build any team you want, but after all that you just run through all the levels again but remixed and way more difficult until the final battle with Tabuu. Makes way more sense if you play it.

The Subspace Emissary was probably one of the most interesting aspects of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. "Fox confronts Rayquaza," "Ike unleashes Aether," and "The Two Captains" are some of my favorite cutscenes. I do have to admit that the scene where Peach gives Fox and Sheik tea is hilarious. (Rayquaza was the creature that attacked Diddy Kong. It is a Pokemon and was the box art legendary of Pokemon Emerald. I figured I'd point this out.)

Fun Fact: Pit comes from the Kid Icarus franchise. But the Kid Icarus games were from Classic Nintendo games on the NES and N64. To incorporate Pit into Smash, Masuhiro Sakurai (Smash’s and Kirby’s creator) completely changed his design and abilities to what you see in the Cutscenes. A new Kid Icarus game called Kid Icarus Uprising was then released on the Nintendo 3DS, using this new design and giving the franchise a breath of new life with its story, which is very comedic and uses a lot of meta jokes and 4th wall breaks. I would recommend either watching the Kid Icarus Uprising Cutscenes or the Palutena’s Guidance Easter Eggs that were included in Smash 4! Edit: R.O.B. Was actually a real life Nintendo Product back in the NES days. It was known as the Robotic Operating Buddy and was a toy accessory for the NES, which was meant to be intractable when playing games. In the Brawl story, the Main R.O.B. takes the role of the Ancient Minister and Ganondorf forces its friends/companions to be sacrifices when using the Bombs. Something R.O.B. begins to be against and it’s what ultimately leads to it to revolt.

Peach was so cute in the story, especially after Snake saved her and Zelda When Sonic appeared, you know everyone was hyped as soon as they heard the spindash sound

8:56 Surprised you didn't know this one lol. That's Raquaza, the Sky legendary from Pokémon. It ends fights between Groudon and Kyogre (Land and Water respectively) and brings peace....usually😂! Not here🤣!

Sonic, Jigglypuff, Toon Link, and Wolf were pretty late additions to the game, so that's why they don't do much in the cutscenes. Pit actually can't fly, so Palutena grants him the power of flight, but it's limited. R.O.B. was an NES peripheral used to play 2 games, Gyromite and Stack Up. His role in Subspace Emissary is why he's now the last of his kind. Ike's entrance is the most badass thing ever and he's why I got into Fire Emblem.

The angel, named Pit, cannot fly on his own ironically. He needs the either needs the guidance of palutena to give him five minutes of light. Or one of three sacred treasures that gives him unlimited flight The most he can do without her help is glide, and flap his wings a few time for a bit of air

This game was my childhood for real, and it was kind of funny seeing your utter lack of excitement in 43:37 lol, i was screaming and cheering like a madman as a kid seeing all the ships emerging from the shipwreck to launch their final assault. Still brings a tear to my eye as an adult, Brawl holds many dear memories for me and its story mode was absolutely amazing

Lucas is the protagonist for the Japan-exclusive Gameboy Advance game, Mother 3, the final entry in the Mother/Earthbound series. What's most known about him is how his mother and brother were killed. Lucas is one of the two Japan-only playable fighters in the series and the only one to have no other appearances outside of Smash. In that cutscene he said "PK Thunder"

brawl is actually the first time since original NES games where Kid Icarus (the angel boy, more known as Pit) made an appearance. the director of smash, Masahiro Sakurai later on made a game for 3ds that became what most people these days think Kid Icarus is. So, the character you see is basically smash original, as is with captain falcon.

still love that the smash bros universe lore is a kid and his action figures making fights,but his imagination see it as soo much more then that.also at 8:33 thats pitt icarus he cant really fly more like glide.also the game series lucas is in is a lil dark but good,there like psychic powered kids.and lastly 32:02 those are pikmen they like plant guys that are loyal to olimar cuz he feeds them.

Truly one of the greatest crossover stories out there. I'm glad that this was my first Smash Bros game. And truly, what a masterpiece it was, and still is.

I forgot how much quality went in to these cutscenes! Adding all these characters in to one larger story really made Brawl unique in the series.

Kirby is cannonically one of the most powerful entities in the universe, you now see why.

Tabuu is theorized to be the adult finally “adulting” from his childhood, erasing the memories he once created. Master Hand is supposed to be his younger self.

So the irony, is that after Brawl, they didn’t want to do more of these due to budget costs and “not wanting it all to just be on RU-vid” like this. However, Kid Icarus Uprising, the game that came with Pit the Angel, who CANNOT fly on his own even with his wings, has a TON of dialogue in its game made by Sakurai (you’ll hear his name from smash fans, he made Kirby and directed all smash bros.)

These cutscenes were great. Especially the charge for the portal and kirby taking out the cannon. It was such a bad ass moment. R.O.B is a like accessory that went with the Nintendo entertainment system. His story arc was basically he and the rest of the robs follow their orders and resign themselves to their fate. R.O.B is beginning to feel bad for doing this and seeing the fellow robs die. Culminating in rob finally turning and trying to convince the rest to stop. They're pretty much like it's too late for us. And Rob is so sad it's gotta be carried out. He fights for them now. That's my take on it. The brawl cutscenes do an amazing job showcasing everyone's personality without words. Like how Lucas is a scared kid but Ness is confident. I loved watching Lucas's growth. From taking that first step in wanting to change and save Ness by following pokemon trainer. He grows more confident while traveling with him. And comes full circle when he saves them from the robot blowing up.

I never get tired of watching this, such a good story and an even better game.

When everyone gets trophied and you play as Deded, Luigi, and Ness you can go through levels to save everyone, but you didn't need too. It's been like 15 years I think so it's been a long time, but I think you needed to save everyone for Sonic to pop up. Or you can just go in and fight the final boss with a limited roster. Again it's been forever, but I think that's how it was.

Nearly 15 years later and I still don't know what Tabuu's plan was

31:05 The evil space dragon is named Ridley... a major antagonist from metroid, and considered samus's greatest nemesis. A lot of people were unhappy he was a boss fight, and not playable. it wouldn't be till ultimate 10 years later we could play as him. If you recall the "all reveal trailers" video... the trailer scene actually mimics this boss arena. BTW... I think whoever does research for you should get you a metroid lore video. it's a great series.

The reason why SONIC was at the last adding is because he was the "sora" of brawl, as in he is the iconic last character, and the reason he has so little screen time is because he was literally a "last minute addition" to the game, you should react to his trailer, is basically the "sora trailer" or brawl.

My friends and I skipped school the day of release to play the game. Such great memories with Brawl.

I would honestly recommend you guys play it. Despite being a (mainly focused on it) fighting game, this story still is in the top 10 best stories made by nintendo. Playing it will also answer most of your questions. Playing it, Is. Just. Worth. It

Subspace Emissary was my childhood.

Interesting information about r.o.b. it actually stands for Robotic Operating Buddy. And it was a toy developed for the NES in 1985 as a second player for only two games Gyromite, and stack up.

This is a side note, apparently, this was years before Ridley was a playable character and along with Lady Palutena. I wish, crazy hand and or Master hand was unlockable characters or DLC, for the newest game.

8:55- “And you would be?” That green snake thing is Rayquaza, the Sky-High Pokémon. A Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation 3, he has a well-earned reputation as one of the strongest ones out there. He serves as a boss in Brawl

Ken: "poor kid has ptsd" Me: "oh you have no idea *woof*"

The Kids in the striped shirts (Ness and Lucas), the sentient statue, and the guy in the Spider bed (Known as Porky Minch) are all from the Mother series (Known as Earthbound in the west). Both are able to use ESP power. Ness is the Protagonist of the game Earthbound (also known Mother 2 in JP) for the Super Nintendo. Lucas is the main Protagonist of Mother 3. A game for the Gameboy Advance Which never got released outside of Japan, but it does have a complete translated English version available online. The statue is also from Mother 3 and is a optional boss encounter in a place called New Pork City and each hit it takes only does 1 HP of damage unless you have a certain item that can destroy it immediately. Porky Minch (guy in spider bed) appeared in both Earthbound and Mother 3. He was a secondary antagonist in Earthbound (where Ness appeared) that tried to help the main antagonist, Giygas, destroy the world. He was still a child (13 years old) in the game however. In Mother 3 (where Lucas appeared), he was the main antagonist that managed to take over the island Lucas inhabited and turn the animals into half cyborg (one of which ended up killing his and his Twin brother's mother) , make a currency after him, made a city after his legacy, and managed to brainwash Lucas' twin brother against him. However, the reason he's in the spider bed is due to excessive amounts of time travel and that didn't do anything good to his body and now he's between 1000 to 10000 years in Mother 3. Edit to add: Although there are no character references to the first Mother game, There is an item called the Franklin badge that appeared in the first game. And about both Ness and Lucas using that thunder move (Known as PK Thunder), they actually don't use it in their origin games. They're used by other party members.

R.O.B is an accesorie for the Super Nintendo console and un the last scene all characters fight with Tabuu, in the game you choose 4 of them for the fight and the game obligates you use Sonic.

Reminder 18, when you react to tekken 7 story mode don't be caught off guard because every character speaks their native language so a guy speaking Italian will understand another one speaking Japanese no problem

Thank you for reminding me of this great storyline 😭 nostalgia kicking in.

One of the best story modes of ALL TIME!!!

the entire subspace emisary mode was just like playing kirby 2. i used to play with my bro that game all the time so we enjoyed this game mode a lot

Yeah, this game was great. The cutscenes are great in that they help move the story, but I wish that you guys could see a bit of the actual gameplay at certain moments. (Ex: Metal Ridley chasing captain falcons ship out of the station in the high-speed chase) because the music for these levels is what really makes the game all the better. Also, a small tidbit about the 'master hand' & 'tabuu' guy. master hand in the previous smash games was essentially the person who is playing with all of the characters, that's why when they got knocked out they turn into figurines. and tabuu is pretty much a god amongst men character they introduced to bring everybody back together even if the master hand was dead. All in all great game, lots of memories, and a great video!

...Man, back in the day, when I first saw Zelda and Link agree to revive Ganondorf, it was my first experience in "good guys and bad guys work together against greater threats". It was so alien to me, and yet I loved every second of it. I'd go out of my way to play the three of them at all times in the remaining parts of the story mode. Being a Ganondorf Main at the time, I usually played him, with Zelda as my second and Link as my third. As a fourth, I generally brought Capt. Falcon or Snake. Still, seeing Link and Zelda bring back Ganondorf for the fight awakened a small thing inside me to want a game where you either play as Ganondorf, or more akin to a JRPG style, kinda like Super Mario RPG, where Ganondorf is brought into the fold against Demise or something. To expand on that, for any nerds like me; I think my thought at the time was that most JRPGs have 7 characters. So, we'd have three with Ganondorf, Link, and Zelda... Who would be the others? Twilight Princess being my favorite of all time, and their designs in Brawl being of TP's timeline, I thought on who from that would work best as allies for the group. As well as "character types" for each; Ganondorf - Heavy-Hitting, Slow Tank Link - All-Arounder Zelda - Support/Red Mage Midna - Black Mage Zant - High-Damage, Fast, but Squishy Agitha - Support/Green/Blue Mage But then I generally ran out of ideas... I tried filling in the last slots with Darbus, the Resistance, a Zora like the Queen or Prince, and so on. My main thought would be that Ashei and her Resistance could take up a slot. Telma, Auru, Ashei, Shad, and Rusl. But I thought they'd work best as supporting characters... Darbus makes some sense, but the team already has a Tank in Ganondorf. Prince Rallis didn't make any sense, as he isn't a fighter... So on and so forth through my mind. I think I eventually settled on either Ashei or Rusl getting that last slot. Regardless, thank you to any fool that read through the entire thing.

31:08 that evil pterodactyl’s name is Ridley. Him and Samus go way back from when Samus was a child. When he raided Samus’ home planet and murdered her parents right in front of her.

And now welcome to "Who's that character!" Pit - Hero of the old NES game "Kid Icarus" and is Brawl's retro character, and because of this, was eventually given a brand new game on the 3DS. And no, he can't fly on his own, only able to when assisted by a goddess and only for 5 minutes at a time otherwise his wings will burn up. Lucas - Protagonist of Mother 3, a game that has yet to be released outside of Japan (Despite the first two being released world wide as "Earthbound"). His story is a largely sad one, losing both his twin brother and mother pretty much at the start of the game, and because of this and added survivors guilt, put him in a state of depression, hence how he is in his introduction. Ness - Protagonist of Earthbound/Mother 2. Not much to say here. Unlike Lucas, Ness is a silent protagonist and doesn't have nearly as much baggage as his successor. "Pterodactyl" - Ridley, reoccurring Metroid villain and Samus' arch-enemy. Despite his monstrous appearance, Ridley is the leader of the Space Pirates and is as intelligent as he is sadistic. Not only is he responsible for the death of Samus' parents, he even implied he ate her mother's corpse. Despite Samus being skilled enough to take him down for good, Ridley always finds a way to keep coming back and cause more problems for the bounty hunter, earning the nickname "The Cunning God of Death". Olimar - Protagonist of Pikmin, after crash landing on a post-apocalypse Earth, Olimar commanded Pikmin with his whistle and used them collect the scattered parts of his ship so he could safely return home. In Pikmin 2, he returns to find treasures to save the company he works for from severe financial debt. Now, the reason Sonic comes out of nowhere at the end is because he was one of the last characters put in the game and they had already finished most of Subspace Emissary, meaning there was really nowhere else to put him. This is also why Toon Link, Jigglypuff, and Wolf have no connection to the story, as their cutscene can only be seen after finishing the story, because they were the last 3 characters to make it into the game.

I do love when they mistake seeing the other guys hurt their princess ("Same side, same side!"). It shows Mario/Link actually angry and that is so rare lol

Just in case you don't know, Sheik is Zelda, that's way Peach leaves the room with her at 37:00 ... And that's why Zelda is freaking awesome.

This game had the coolest story I had ever seen as a kid. This was a nice nostalgia trip

Ahhhhh my face lit up when i see u guys reacting to this,omg my child hood i remembering spending about 300 hours playing this with my sisters and mom trying to get every character during that part when tabu turn everyone back into trophys,and loving this one remixed to a dk song called "Sticker bush symphony" its really good btw.

YES, subspace emmisary is still legendary, also sonic was a last minute entry in the game so hence why they shoved him at the end there, also hes (obviously) the fastest character in the game so playing a story mode level with him would be pretty broken navigation wise lol

YESSS THIS GAME IS SO NOSTALGIC

If you get the chance to, you should watch the Kid Icarus Uprising cutscenes as well! A lot of voices and animation were put into the game both in transition and during gameplay!

For me, King Dedede is the MVP of this story (bit biased XD). I'm so proud of his character growth in the games. From central-antagonist to a supporting protagonist. Once a villain now turned into one of the heroes of Dreamland. At this point, its a Kirby trope where King Dedede will be initially portrayed as a villain only to find out he's not XD. During the scene where he was giving the pins, I cannot help but smile when he just gave his own even though he knew what will happen if he didn't have one. In the past, he will not do that and will prioritize himself. I might misheard it but were you talking about Sheik suddenly appearing? I haven't played any Zelda games so I don't know if I'm right but I'm assuming that maybe that was Zelda in disguise? I mean, Zelda disappear just as Sheik appears in the same place Zelda was in. That and Peach was smiling in such a meaningful way. Yeah its hard to get invested sometimes when you don't know some of the characters. Like I HEARD of them but its still hard to not get confuse and be interested on a cutscene because at the end of the day I don't really know their character background. Thankfully I know most of them so I could still enjoy seeing the characters from different franchise meeting up and interacting with one another. Now I almost want for you two to react on some lore of games from nintendo just so I could see your reaction while also watching and learning other lores with you XD. Although since I'm much more familiar and knows how interesting it turn to be, I'm much more interested to see your reactions to Kirby's lore hehe 😅

43:08 My all-time favorite cutscene in the game.

i remember back then i had a lot of fun praying it, you can play 2 players in story mode. The green dragon Diddy and fox fought is a pokemon name Rayquaza, i would've like to see in story mode Link, Zelda and Ganondorf form the triforce to fight against tabu.

I can always tell someone's rough age range by if they compare ROB to Wall-E or to Johnny 5 from Short Circuit. It's always funny to see people underestimate what Peach is capable of. Not only is she strong in Smash (she and ROB were my mains in this game and I beat Tabuu with her--without touching the ground! It was awesome!), in various Mario games she's got a ton of magic power including the ability to summon a torrent of bombs, and in her own game, Super Princess Peach, she's effectively a Zen master with the power to weaponize her emotions. People got really gross about that though, and kept calling it a "PMS joke", which is super uncomfortable. The pterodactyl, as people have said, is Ridley, the "cunning god of death" who killed not only Samus's parents but her entire colony. Ridley was a very popular character that people wanted to be added to Smash as a playable character, but it was also believed that he was "too big", even though in the Metroid series his size changes from game to game. He was the third new character added to Ultimate (after Inkling and Daisy), and his splash screen was "Ridley hits the big time!". He also killed Mario and Mega Man in his reveal trailer. It was great. Lucario's ability to see auras--essentially soul energy--enabled it to determine ally from foe. Though this means that Primids have souls despite being constructs, which raises a bunch of questions. Trainers with Lucarios are thought to be rather heroic, as Lucarios are said to refuse to serve any trainer it doesn't view as noble. Which also raises a bunch of questions since there's a notable Pokemon villain (no I won't tell you which one you'll just have to play the games yourselves) who has one. Considering Lucario's spiritual energy and how they get stronger the closer they are to being defeated, they're often compared to Goku, and in the Pokemon anime movie that featured Lucario, they even had the same voice actor as Goku! He plays Lucario in later Smash games as well (in Brawl it was played by someone else though). This story mode led to a very unusual twist in the realm of English literature! For a while there, the longest written work in the English language was a Smash Bros fanfic called The Subspace Emissary's Worlds Conquest, with over four MILLION words. It was started because the author, a native Spanish speaker, wanted to improve his English skills.

Love this game’s story the fact that this game has no dialogue, yet it has you so interested the story is dope.

One more thing, when it comes to the character pit, he's basically a angelic flying squirrel , as in, he can fly but not really, the wings are basically there for aesthetics, more or less, there's a lot to explain, but that's basically it.

"Poor kid's got PTSD." That's it. That's the Mother/Earthbound series in one sentence.

The Subspace Emissary is the best thing we got in any Smash Bros. Games, HANDS DOWN!!!! 🙌

Man to this day I still get goosebumps when Ike says “GREAT AETHER!!!”

13:08 d......... Do.. you guys *not* know what a pokeball is...?😨

I'm almost about to cry. This was the 1st video game I ever owned. my god the memories. 🤧🤧

YESSS i’ve been waiting for you guys to watch this!! i love this game so much, i played the story mode to death when i was a kid. a couple fun facts: - fox and falco both have scouters (now that you’re more caught up on dbz that has some more significance!) - pit the angel actually can’t fly without the assistance of his goddess (she basically has to fly him like a drone) and if he flies for too long his wings burn up! hence the game title ‘kid icarus’. - sheik is zelda’s ninja disguise! she originally created it to hide from ganondorf, so the big plot twist is that zelda is an insane martial artist. - the dragon at 31:07 and 41:52 is ridley, samus’ recurring nemesis. he looks like a wild beast, but he’s actually very intelligent and even capable of speech. he’s a cruel and cunning space pirate and he, uh. killed samus’ parents in front of her. she keeps killing him and he keeps coming back as a clone or cyborg or mutation. - for the last battle against tabuu, you can select any character from the entire cast to play as but my god. that boss battle is HARD. he has a bunch of attacks that are near impossible to dodge and a Lot of health. i’m kind of sad the cutscenes don’t convey how intense that battle is, because it took my brother and i like a billion tries to beat him. great video as always, glad you enjoyed and hope you’re having a good day 💚💚

Loved y’all’s reaction for Super Smash Bros. I haven’t watched the cutscenes in a long time. But looking back at this, I really enjoy seeing other characters team up even with no dialogue, they still understood each other.

This was the sickest thing Nintendo ever made with their characters. 💯

So fun fact: Marth and Ike are from the same franchise of Fire Emblem but don’t technically meet eachother as they’re from different “worlds” per se. The scene where Marth overlooks the castle is a nice touch because in his original game he’s the Hero-king that was once exiled and it’s reminiscent of how he was the prince of Altea, but like I said was forced to leave his homeland. Also when he draws his sword and you can see only the tip shining is a nice thing to see as in the smash bros franchise the tip of his sword nearly doubled his damage and in the Fire Emblem series, the Falchion (his sword), was meant to slay dragons. Originally Marth was meant to deal even more damage to Bowser and Ridley (in later installments) because of the special capability for it to slay dragons. Obviously the idea was scrapped but it’s still a nice thing to note to pay homage to a very old and controversial game series. (Doesn’t change the fact that it’s my favorite ^-^)

Tabuu is the embodiment of Subspace who plotted to transport areas of the World of Trophies into Subspace for his world. However, he himself cannot leave Subspace, which is why he created the Subspace Army to act in his stead. Tabuu took over the Isle of the Ancients, the home of the R.O.B.s and forced them to serve him under the threat of annihilation. Tabuu first discovered that Mr. Game & Watch had Shadow Bugs in him and captured him to harness the power and thus the Subspace Army was born. Tabuu studied and took control of the master of the world, Master Hand, and used his powers to control him like a puppet. Tabuu used Master Hand to enlist the help of Bowser, Ganondorf and Wario. These three were sent to hunt down any fighters that would stand in the way of Tabuu's plans, while remaining unaware of Tabuu's existence. However, King Dedede learned the truth about Tabuu and began interfering with his plans.[1] Later in the story, after the heroes destroy the Subspace Gunship and enter Subspace, Ganondorf betrays Bowser by blasting him with a Dark Cannon. Ganondorf then goes to greet Master Hand, but soon discovers Tabuu's control over him and realizes he was tricked. Enraged, he charges a futile attack at Tabuu, who effortlessly knocks him away and causes him to land on Master Hand, freeing him from Tabuu's control (and turning Ganondorf into a trophy in the process). Now freed, Master Hand also attempts to fight back, but to no avail. After Master Hand is defeated, Tabuu uses his Off Waves to turn everyone into trophies as soon as they approach. With the only threats to his plans seemingly neutralized, a satisfied Tabuu then creates a maze out of the areas that were transported into Subspace.However, thanks to the Dedede Brooches, two trophies who had been left behind - Luigi and Ness - were later revived and they proceed to revive Dedede himself after Ness realized that it was thanks to him that they were restored. Dedede joins their team and they rescue everyone, including Bowser, who had a fight with Dedede and soon joined the team when he learned about Master Hand's defeat. Around the same time, Kirby was revived by the brooch the captured princess had when he swallowed it and went out on his own to save the rest of the fighters, between the characters, there are Wario and Link and Zelda, the latter of which revive Ganondorf and suggest him to join them, which he begrudgingly agrees, Wario does as well and all the characters enter to the maze and battling the remainder of Tabuu's forces that reside within it. Upon reaching Tabuu, he attempts to turn everyone back into trophies again, but is ambushed by Sonic, who destroys his wings before he can do so. As a result, Tabuu's Off Waves are weakened, becoming "only" a one-hit KO attack instead of causing immediate trophification for any fighter in reach.A selection of characters from Sonic, Bowser, Kirby, Luigi's group and those revived by these two groups (first: Luigi, Ness and King Dedede; second: Kirby), then fight Tabuu. After his defeat, the Subspace Army is gone, the areas consumed by Subspace are restored and the Isle of the Ancients disappears afterwards because of the effect of so many Subspace Bombs going off at once (commanded by Ganondorf so Tabuu could get a Subspace Gunship into the world) making it impossible for the island to escape Subspace. A luminous cross is left in its place. Tabuu is last seen contorting in pain shortly before the Great Maze was restored to its original places and forms. The events of World of Light suggest he survived.

Captain Olimar is so funny, in the Pikmin games he is actually the size of a bottle cap and the pikmin the size of ants. Their size were of course accounted for, but whats even more funny is that Captain Olimar isn’t actually a captain. He is just a salary man trying to feed his family but one day while out at work his spaceship gets struck by an asteroid and crash lands on Earth, where by that point all humans have gone extinct and whats left is strange creatures including friendly ones being the pikmin who he plants like flowers and can recruit and command…like a captain. He is then forced to gather all of the missing parts of his ship to get back home.

All those characters and my boy Lucas got all the character development, love that.

The split screen was added because most people would enjoy seeing what making different choices does in the story,especially if they haven't played the game before

Since I know most people will talk about how crazy the crossover is imma tell another fun fact. R.O.B was originally a toy for then NES back then and R.O.B stands for Robotic Operating Buddy. Also if you are confused on the story Tabuu Can only appear and is stuck in the subspace (All the blackholes and what not) so his goal was to get all the main worlds into one so he can bring everyone into his world. Now I may be wrong at some stuff with the story but thats how I view it

Not gonna lie: after all those times Mario jumped off Yoshi's head, seeing Pit use Mario's head as a trampoline felt like karma. Also, ok, they needed a cool entrance and all... but there is no way for Fox to defeat Rayquaza like that! There was a cool rap by Falconshield about SMASH, you could check that.

I love super smash bros brawl! My brother and I would play for hours and mess around on making our own stages and do random shit in the game hahahaha. All in all it’s a fun game!

I loved the story of this game so much, it was so weird and fun

8:21 No, actually. He needs Palutena (the goddess lady from earlier) for that.

This brings back so many great memories. Truly an awesome story to. Much better than whatever the heck World of Light was trying to be.

Imagine if World Of Light was like this. There'd be so much story potential and epic character interactions! Especially with the enormous slew of characters that were introduced after Brawl! Imagine seeing Mega Man, Ryu, or Cloud in something like this!

And here I was wondering if you guys ever reacted to the Brawl cutscenes, and then this video popped up. Keep it up guys!

I remember watching this over and over when I was younger, kinda nostalgic in a way

I love how you guys reacted to this, the tone you would have at certain scenes, the excitement at parts, it reminded me of how I reacted when playing this

I love the scene where Lucario uses his aura to see Snake hiding in the box

Oh jeez! Well, I'm ready to strap in to this ride. Loved this as a kid and not a reaction I was anticipating, but let's go! 6 minutes in, and I'm thinking I would LOVE to watch you two do a playthrough together of Subspace Emissary. The adventure mode that all of these scenes are from is 2-player and is a really fun 2D platformer with smash bros. controls. Watching you two play coop sounds like a really good time; I would gladly watching a full playthrough of it. 13:23 Been a long time since I watched these cutscenes all at once, but seeing these scene transitions like that, I just hear Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged's "Meanwhile, Thousands of Miles Away..." 21:56 Ok, since this is how these are being incorporated into the edit; Toon Link, Jigglypuff, and Wolf are not part of the story. They are in the post-game, and you unlock them by going back to these 3 specific stages and going into these new doors that are located somewhere in the level. It looks like Profasia put the cutscenes in where the stage is, though I can certainly see how that'd be confusing on a narrative level. 22:16 OK! Here's something that gets lost in the lack of dialogue. It's not explained well here, but thankfully, Nintendo released an explanation on the website a while after the game had come out. Keep in mind, I haven't read it in a long time, so details might be iffy, but here we go. King Dedede was originally part of the villains side, so he knew the entire plan with Subspace. He disagreed with it and went rogue. His taking of statues and placing of badges was actually him playing the long game. Those badges are actually timers that, after a certain amount of time had passed (and assuming they'd been overtaken by subspace by then), would activate and de-statue the characters attached. Unfortunately, Dedede only had 3 badges. At this particular scene, this was Dedede realizing he was one short and the only one remaining was the one for himself. The look he gives here is him accepting that he'll sacrifice his possibility of waking up by giving the badge to Zelda/Peach. That said, Dedede: MVP. 32:00 Your reaction here tells me that I also desire a playthrough of Pikmin from you two. If just a cutscene of them dying gets that from you, I can't imagine what a full game of trying to keep them alive would do. 42:10 Another part that gets kind of lost here. That particular subspace hole (whatever you wanna call it) is freaking massive because Ganondorf had sooooo many bombs go off. The reason for this is to make a gateway from subspace large enough for the very large cannon to come out. 44:07 "Kirby just blew up the Death Star." Thank you for that laugh. Admittedly, I'm sitting like a little b**** with tears in my eyes from pure nostalgia, so I greatly appreciate the opportunity to laugh. 48:40 First of all, well done inferring what I'd said at 22:16. Second, while I'm sure you can piece it together, before this cutscene is an entire stage through subspace where you grab characters trophies along the way. It's actually possible to get to the final level with only Dedede, Ness, Luigi, and Kirby. This particular scene (and the unlocking of Ganondorf) is only possible if you found both Link and Zelda. But yeah, that's why characters are inexplicably coming back between cutscenes. 50:20 Two things here. 1. This last subspace hole, the big one, was actually so massive that, when it went away, the Isle of the Ancients (which is where the bomb factory, Samus's suit, etc. all were) got wiped out. 2. It was seen back at Marth's introduction, but much more prominently here, the large X in the light. In Japan, Brawl was called "Smash Bros. X," so there's actually quite a bit of X imagery throughout. I really enjoyed your reactions to this. Yeah, after Sonic shows up (and yes, he does come in very abruptly at the end), you have a full battle with Tabuu and it is...all over the place, quite literally. I think profasia put the splitscreen because this isn't necessarily meant as a full movie (which it could definitely serve as), but just a compilation of EVERY possible cutscene in the game. It is a shame, though, that the credits weren't included, because the music and the entire credits sequence is fantastic. Speaking of fantastic, the last level is actually my favorite in the entire Subspace Emissary. I'm sure you noticed all of the orbs around Tabuu when the stairs formed and everything. Those were actually all of the locations that had been overtaken by the Subspace bombs. The final level is called "The Great Maze" and is one MAAAAASSIVE level that combines all of those locations. It's big enough that it needs a map and has 4 save/healing spots in it. Again, I would gladly watch an entire playthrough of the game in coop from you two. Also, ROB is actually not a character, but a real life accessory. Back in the 80's, for the original Nintendo system, there was a peripheral called "Robot Operating Buddy" that could act as a player 2 for 2 specific games. It did not do well, but it a treasured part of Nintendo's history. Anyway, again, loved your reaction, and if you took the time to read this freakin' liveblog of a comment, thank you, and I look forward to whatever comes next.

If you're at all curious as to Tabuu's motives, such as they are, then you might want to look up the Game Theory channel, which covers the lore of not just Brawl but every Smash game up to WiiU/3DS (I believe it was just after Ultimate had been announced). MatPat provides a really interesting take on the situation that I think you'd enjoy.

To give context on R.O.B. it is not really a character, but rather a toy made to play certain games a number of years ago. Essentially R.O.B. is one of the saviours of gaming because at the time it wasn't a very popular source of entertainment

to clear up a lot of confusion: 1: Split screens are for when you choose things, such as who you want to use to fight, and a lot of the Peach/Zelda split screens are due to who you choose to save as Kirby during the piranha plant fight. 2: near the end when all of the characters were turned to trophies, they were scattered around the world as you play through to collect them, that's how they all got revived without any context through the cinematics. 3: Toon Link, Jigglypuff, and Wolf are unlockable characters for normal game mode (not story mode, which is what this is), so they aren't actually in this part of the game. 4: at the end, after sonic shows up, you choose who you want to use out of all of the characters you have (depending on who you save during your trip to the end bc its easy to miss a lot of the characters due to them being hidden) 5: Ancient Minister/"Dick Minister"/R.O.B.- their entire deal was they were demanded to consume the world with those bombs, but he knew his fellow R.O.B. companions have to die for the bombs to go off, and they grew sick of watching their brothers perish. (R.O.B. isn't even a video game character, it was an accessory for the Nintendo Entertainment System that grew so popular that Nintendo likes to throw it in their games as background or secret characters. a good intense of this is in Mario Kart DS, R.O.B. is an unlockable character.)

Ness and Lucas are blessed children with Esp power

The "evil pterodactyl" is Ridley, a space pirate and Samus' arch-enemy.

I loved King Dedede’s role in the story since it mirrors how he used to be in older Kirby games. He did evil things but with good intentions and just refuses to elaborate why due to being greedy, lazy, and just not thinking people would trust him. He had special pins made so that if he ever got turned into a statue he would eventually wake back up and made extras to help preserve some people in case he needs assistance later. He gave away his safety pin to Peach/Zelda because deep down, he is a good guy. He wants the greater good, mostly because it keeps him safe, and I find him a very fun character. He even loves and respects Kirby as his rival/buddy and worries for his safety when necessary, they’re great.

The ending pretty much makes you go through all the levels again and recover all the people that turned into statues and pretty much Everyone in the game fights taboo I wish they had a better ending cutscene but yea, and sonic yea pretty much does come at the end because he has three or two phases and we defeat phase one and he's about too do the attack that kills everyone but sonic stops him and then you fight him again As a Kid I would hate the ending so much because it took me a week too beat just the ending because you has too go through this large ass puzzle too find everyone who died and gaw damn it was frustrating

You may be interested to know that there are a number of fanmade machinima series that are told used the Smash Bros games as their template. If that interests you, I’d personally recommend Tigura21’s Smash King series. See if the trailer and filler episodes peak your interest.

I see you've watched the Subspace Emissary cutscenes. Honestly, I think Subspace Emissary is what makes Brawl stand out compared to other Super Smash Bros. games.
