Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - Origin of All Forward Smashes 

In some cases, the attack appeared first in Smash, then in a game of the original series.

Something funny about Charizard’s Forward Smash is that it’s officially known as Headlong Rush, which Pokémon fans would know is actually a new move that was added in Legends: Arceus, meaning that Charizard was using Headlong Rush in Smash before any Pokémon in the main series. However, Charizard can’t even learn Headlong Rush in the official games, despite him being able to learn moves like Bulldoze and Earthquake, which are also Ground-Type moves.

Why was Kazuya's skipped out? All his moves in Smash outside of his pummel and his Up B have definitive origins. For his case, Glorious Demon God Fist originated from Tekken Tag Tournament, specifically

This must of taken such a long time and so much hard work to make, its very informative! Thank you for making this! My favorite forward smash is Robin's!

Link's Sword Beam first manifested as a spinning wave of energy in A Link to the Past. Before that, they either looked like the sword it's fired from or took a slender beam-like shape. Also, are you sure Pikachu/Pichu's fsmash aren't more closely related to Spark rather than Thunder Shock? Spark is a more direct attack and is much stronger... plus, the fsmash looks like a large spark.

Byleth's f-smash, specifically, is almost a direct copy of Dimitri's close-range counterattack crit animation when in any class *other than* Great Lord or High Lord

All the characters who aren’t in this video don’t have a forward Smash with an original. It’s notably the case of Fox, which we (almost) never seen outside of a vehicle in his home series.

Should have called this Smash Attacks Origin/Comparison to make it more obvious that not all of them originally came from the characters source game

First btw I like your videos

What an oddly specific yet infotmative video

In the first Fire Emblem Marth has literally his forward smash when he attacks. He walks into the enemy and does the move when does critical

Charizards headbutt looks kinda like dragon claw in SBU

Cloud’s forward smash resembles the depiction of Cross Slash in the Kingdom Hearts series, but I guess Ehrgeiz works too

These videos are the best

And we all know that in Smash, King K. Rool doesn’t wear shoes. Only during the boss fight with him so Tiny Kong could pull off an attack that shall not be named.

Hey but Mario obtained IS forward Smash in melee release in 2002 but Mario and Luigi superstar saga was release in 2003 so there IS a problème

The forward smashes for Mario, Donkey Kong, Pit, & Dark Pit appeared in SSBM & SSBB before appearing in any of their own games

Bro you forgot Incineroar Other than that the video is awesome Edit: you also forgot Pyra and Mythra (thx Fire Embliam)

I see that forward slash was one of Sora's abilities. What was that one called again?

Steve’s f smash is based on the slash move from minecraft Java edition

Chrom attack. Shows a Roy ingame clip

8:09 I love the male and female versions of Inkling.

7:58 nice 👌

1:48 1:56 Peach from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (1996) uses her frying pan as a weapon like Paula Jones from Earthbound (1995), Conker the Squirrel from Conker's Bad Fur Day (2001), Rapunzel from Tangled (2010) and Toad from The Super Mario Bros Movie (2023).

Imagine updates it may features all references.

5:23 I love the male and female versions of Wii Fit Trainer.

in what gen did shell smash been created cause i think that's the move used or based on for squirtle forward smash

Ivysaur forward smash is a direct reference to the anime ashs bulbasaur uses its vines in a similar way

It's amazing this originals Videogames. 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

Doc is a reference to luigi’s thunderhand

Maybe you can update your super smash bros ultimate all characters final smash origins to add the dlc characters in their next time.

Bowser’s forward smash may be from the battle from super Mario galaxy where he jumps and tries to stomp you all the way.

Also while yes mega man's charge shot did originated from mega man 4 I say it look more like his charge shot from mega man 5

Fun info: bowser is nice in his shell

I didn’t see Samus, Dark Samus, Yoshi, Fox, Luigi, and Jigglypuff.

What's the game that the origin of both Cloud's and Sephiroth's Foward Smashes from?

Mostly of them were referenced in next games after the release of certain smash games :/

Why smash attack ok good video but weird idea

5:30 why am I suddenly getting yoga lessons

6:06 SSBU, character name: Robin FIRE EMBLEM, character name: Daraen (is that Robin's name in Spanish?)

Mario's f-smash is an original move since Melee.

Since Ivysaur and Charizard can only learn Headbutt since gen 2, wouldn't it be more appropriate to show footage from a gen 2 game? Yes, you can transfer them back to gen 1 with the move learned, but until gen 2, that move was unavilable for them

what is that final fantasy game where the origins of cloud and sephiroth smash are given?

Which is your favorite pokemon and Nintendo game ❤❤

You didn’t do Ike

Ike Great Heater🥺

With the logic of the Animal Crossing fighters literally ANYTHING can be made into a fighting style.

How do you get peach to use different material for forward smash

Mario/Dr. Mario's Forward Smash really don't have an origin

You forgot Wario

Why were some characters skipped?

Uhh... you missed Squirtle.

8:50 King Krusha K. Rool is a final boss in Donkey Kong 64 (1999).

But it's not really ALL forward smashes is it now

Por que não tem Luigi?

What is the fight at 2:40 from?(link vs Ganon)

2:45 sounds like the roblox sword equipping effect

Not all ere there 😢

4:23 Lucas and Claus are good brothers who are two sons of Hinawa and Flint.

Are you sure the belmont's foward smash isn't smash original because that look one to one to their side tilt than anything else really

Tf did that level 2 rattata do to you?

Link foward smash it's coming from botw, if in botw they made reference to the first zelda it is another matter

You forgot Pyra, Mythra and Kazuya.

I have never played Minecraft before, but that cow sound effect at 10:59 sounded so cursed and hilarious at the same time.

2:45 did they used the Roblox sword sound effect

How did you get Ivysaur and Charizard to use Headbutt in Gen 1?

What game is that at 7:36?

You skipped Squirtle lol.

Where'sw ario?

Nop, mario & luigi cannot be the origin of forward smash for Mario because melee was launched earlier than this game. Same for jungle beat.

7:57 I see that Female Corrin did that noice 69 damage.

11:16 why he is crying?????

The only character you forgot is olimar.

You forgot bowser

2:44 roblox sword sound.

Maybe you know that Roy's one is definitely not correct.

You didn't do Kazuya

Actually, do snake, it looks more interesting
