Apparently, The Subspace Emissary's World Conquest was recently dethroned as the longest work of English literature by _another_ Brawl fanfic.

The "Charles Martinee" one was referring his last name being misspelled in Smash 64's credits

Here’s something about streetsmash, If Pac-Man gets KO’d in that mode, he actually has a KO scream. That being his death sound from the original Pac-Man

Subspace Emissary being canon could refer to the fact that the cliff where everyone confronts Galeem in World of Light looks nearly identical to the cliff where, in the end of Subspace Emissary, the roster watched as the last region of Subspace receded. Interestingly, this would mean that the spot where Galeem hovered as he unleashed his onslaught would be around the same place as where the Isle of the Ancients used to be.

I *think* the "Kirby is the most powerful character" may be referring to Sakurai making Kirby survive in cutscenes and character reveal trailers since he made Kirby, thus having a personal bias for them. Kirby was the sole survivor of Ultimate's story mode intro and more recently, survived Kazuya's attempt to dump them in the pit. (Even though that was kind of a joke.)

46:26 That is actually EXACTLY what you were supposed to do to get the secret trophies in Melee. You would take your memory card with Melee data on it to conventions and they would add the data for the trophy they were giving out to your memory card.

The "Danger" signs are also present in Melee's version of Mushroom Kingdom. And Pichu was never playable in any official build of PM. And Ridley is male.

Creator of this iceberg here, and I just wanted to say that the “Charmander says gummy bears” one was just a joke my cousin and I found funny when we were younger. I still liked how you took a more analytical approach to it though. Good job on the video

I heard that the reason why Mr. G&W can’t L-Cancel in Melee is because the game assumes his air attacks are special attacks and not normal attacks. In Melee characters can’t L-Cancel when using special moves so Mr.G&W can’t do it either. There’s 2 moves Mr.G&W can L-Cancel but I forgot which. AsumSausm or whoever his name is made a video of “The Most Glitchiest Character in Melee”

Just to add a note here for people about the Black Hole Glitch: The Black Hole Glitch absolutely requires you to do the Infinite Ammo Super Scope Glitch, not just simply have the Super Scope. I always thought it was great that such a crazy glitch relies on an already hilarious and silly glitch.

Actually, the Kirby GCN models in Brawl is referring to the trophies in the gallery. the models in the Kirby section are ripped straight out of the cancelled Kirby game for the Gamecube with characters like Bonkers, Bronto Burt, Cappy, Sir Kibble, Wheelie, and especially Golem since Golem's only appearance in the series was Kirby and the Amazing Mirror for the GBA and that enemy was going to return in the Cancelled Kirby GCN game so this would be the only time the Golem would ever have a 3D model, and Dedede's jet hammer was also going to originate in that same Kirby GCN game (Which I am surprised wasn't the iceberg) so maybe the cancelled Kirby GCN game wans Brawl has a lot of connections to each other then we probably though, and don't get me started in the Subspace Emissary.

This iceberg is just really a collection of random facts, no strange and out there theories.

You're like the only big RU-vid dude who even looks at the comments after he makes the video, let alone responds to most of them. A lot of respect for that

I really like how you just randomly reappeared on RU-vid

The gun texture in Peach's files is actually a reflection map for her golf club

So the "Kirby is the strongest Smash character" is about how, canonically, Kirby (with Dedede's help) was the only one to survive Tabuu's attack in Brawl, and his expert warp star piloting was the catalyst for him being the only one to survive Galeem's attack in Ultimate.

I think it's really cool that Ditto eventually got added to Ultimate, and it even has the same function that was originally planned for it in Melee

Fun fact: While there are still no fighters that made their Nintendo console debut in Ultimate, there may be spirits that made their Nintendo debut in Ultimate (ex. Leon Belmont), so there’s that

Man, remember when the ballot was available, and a ton of people deliberately put meme entries like goku, shrek and the like?

I love watching your iceberg vids to fall asleep to so much, now I'm going back through them all for a second time xD sorry its weird but your voice is so calm and soothing and theres no random audio jumps or jumpscares or crap like that so it really relaxes me. Can't wait to see more from you!!

That "Most Wanted Character"' list made me feel good. I thought I was the only one who wanted Klonoa and Hat Girl. I'm probably the only one wishing for Toe Jam and Earl, though.

Kirby does say Jigglypuff's Japanese name when absorbing Jigglypuff. In fact, he says "Purin!" I've heard it in ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8v5ctsOyk_E.html.

I love these iceberg videos, I’m so glad I found your channel. I can’t wait to watch all your uploads, and see upcoming ones when they are new. I wonder if there is a Metroid iceberg, considering there is definitely more than Justin Bailey with the series. Metroid 64, the original Dread, the VAR Beam come to mind. There is probably a lot about the history of the Chozo that would surprise a lot of people, myself included.

You promised and you delivered. We really enjoy your videos, your unique commentary combined with your personal adages are what truly makes this enjoyable. I genuinely look forward to your videos. Interested to see what's next, please keep it up!

31:13, the current longest piece of literature is a Loud House self insert fanfiction called "The Loud House Revamped" with ~6.5 million words the last time I checked and 1000+ chapters.

I’m still absolutely in love with your style of in-depth content. Keep it up!

This is the best smashbros iceberg, good audio and editing too. Love the amount of depth; great work on this video bro!

A good way to see the effects of SDI is moving around when you get hit with a smart bomb. You can spin in circles for fun or, if you're close to the edge of the explosion, you can actually escape it by tapping away from the center.

Didnt even notice this was by you at first, I remember watching your mario 64 icebergs and they were my favorite! Saw this in recommended and heard the more on that later and i knew lol. Nice video as always

I watched thru all your vidoes yesterday and you happen to upload today. Aaa it just made me so happy seeing the notification, your videos are so comfy and I'm looking forward to everything else you make!!

Awesome video, I love listening to people talk about smash bros. Also I really hope this channel takes off because you make super entertaining and high quality stuff. Keep up the good work!

This is one of my favourite channels to check in on every few months. Your content clearly has a lot of passion put into it. Glad to support a great up and coming channel!

22:49 "Ofcourse two of them would become legitament DLC Fighters" Uh...Ken was in the Base Game

33:02 wobbling is technically possible in brawl, but it’s usually called pass-offs. It also used to be possible in 4xm, but it was patched, due it being preformed by just using Mac’s pummel and nothing else

Love this video so much, so much detail you put in for this one video. Can't wait to see more icebergs in the future, maybe a Pokémon or Mario Kart one?🌊🌊

Excellent upload dude. Insanely good stream of content. Just remember you don’t have to stick to icebergs. I’m super glad I’m a sub for you - great job dude.

This showed up on my recommended so the algorithm likes you. Great comprehensive video, I hope you keep up the content. Loved the joke about Nintendo’s cat priority btw.

32:00 there is a sound file of Ness that suggests that it was going to be used in his final smash in n64

I was pretty sure 90% of this video would fly over my head, but as soon as you mentioned the Subspace Emissary Worlds Conquest I was cackling like a madman. I have a weirdly personal relationship to that fic, having stumbled across a RU-vid channel attempting to read through the entire thing during a particularly stressful semester of school. To be clear, the fic itself is in no uncertain terms a train wreck, but the "audiobook's" narrator was oddly charming, and for a few months I ended up habitually listening through his hundreds of videos as a sort of absurdist meditation. In the end, the video series never even reached one quarter of the way through the full story, but even that was well beyond the call of duty. Having willingly sat through even that small fragment, the full scale of the work seems... ineffable. Somehow divine in its sheer inaccessibility. Comparisons to Harry Potter, Homestuck, etcetera simply don't do it justice, since all the reasonable reference points are actually enjoyable to read. SSEWC's Windwaker arc will expand your mind's definition of the word "tedium".

I really enjoyed this long video it helps me sleep and dream at night! Thank you

This is great! I made my own iceberg a while and i'm so happy to see more people doing them. keep it up!

Thank you NEScRETRO! This will counterbalance any trolling I receive today.

Just found you LoZ iceberg and you mentioned this good timing to find you great video dood!

I would love to see you discuss Resident Evil and Silent Hill icebergs.

I been really enjoying your vids keep up the good work.

Been anticipating this

Please keep making videos these have been so brilliant so far

Keep it up. I listened to all your videos at work today. Need more please. 😉

I was low-key expecting this to be an April Fool's joke, but glad it wasn't. Good shit! I'm loving your iceberg content.

Originally started watching the channel for the Zelda iceberg as that’s the only Nintendo franchise I’ve played a lot of but enjoy all these videos. You’ve got a comfy form of narrating and setting up your videos. Can’t put my finger on it but it works well Not sure if Elder Scrolls is a game series you’ve at all played with but it has a very extensive iceberg but you don’t have to be obliged to that type of content I think anything you do would be a great video in the end

I've been so excited for this video! Can't wait to watch it!

this was really good!!! :] i was looking forward to this!!!

Thanks for another amazing video! I think you have really thoughtful and insightful ideas for a ton of different videos. Your voice I find to be quite calming. I was drawn to your channel because of the iceberg videos and how you explained most items. There were some on the Pokemon iceberg that you didn't know which is fine. The more obscure things in Smash and in Zelda I didn't know about, which was quite informative to me. Thank you for taking the hours and time to develop your videos! Being a bit more serious now. What value do you want to add in your videos? Or what value do you bring to your subscribers and RU-vid? Writing scripts, and editing takes a lot of time. But you'll improve with more practice. My buddy Daryl, for "Psych of Play" has some pretty good scripts, as he talks about psychological studies and video games. Keep up the great work! I look forward to seeing you in the next one!

Someone made a theory that Tabu represents maturity and the kid growing up and forgeting about the imagination. During the OG super-smash bros we can tell this through the prespective of a kid, and Tabu represents the kid as a teenager growing up and trying to give up his love for the game we know as super-smash bros. That's why he even attacks master hand, his child self. Eventually our characters attack Tabu and defeat him, because you can't really change what you love. Tabu representing the kid's maturity explains why he is so powerful.

YES. Glad to see this uploaded, can't wait to watch it later tonight

I just found this channel and it's gem, more please.

This pace is impressive to me. Make sure you don't burn yourself out, I really dig this content and holy shit is it dense

Very nice video 👍 looking forward for the next iceberg

super late but an easy way to explain SDI is that every move has a set amount of frames of hitlag when hitting an opponent, where they arent immediately launched and instead hold position for a very small amount of time. within that time, inputting a direction will slightly shift your character. with multiple really quick control stick inputs, you can sdi far enough to do cool things like avoid multi hit moves or even avoid setups for some combos. a great example is in melee, jigglypuff can escape getting hit by the second hit of fox's up air by sdi-ing the first hit, which makes her survivability infintely better in that match up. just figured it's an interesting topic, great video btw!

Everyone: *wants geno* Me: *sips coffee while petting paper mario*

Someone else brought up how Subspace Emmisary being canon could refer to a connection to Ultimate's spirit mode, but it could also mean two other things. -Subspage Emmisary is a canon prequel to Brawl's main smash mode, serving as an explanation for how these characters all met to fight each other. -Subspace Emmisary is canon to the Kid Icarus series, as Pit makes a few references to Brawl in Kid Icarus: Uprising

Why did RU-vid not notify me of this when it came out? Another great video man! Can't wait to see the Pokemon Iceberg.

man i miss subspace emissary. I remember staying up until like 1 am playing it with my friend when I was like 7, which felt super late. It took us months to complete it. Good memories.

"Kirby being the strongest" might be referring to the fact that, as a Smash fighter, he's pretty overpowered. Being able to copy other fighters moves, fly for a short period of time, and having two heavy hitting moves (The hammer and him turning into a rock), it's pretty easy to win difficult battles with Kirby which is why a lot of beginner players play as him.

You make good content man. Keep it up!

I was waiting for some creepy stuff on the iceberg but there wasn’t. Anyways I love your videos bro and I hope you’ll do some more videos in the future. :)

I have been waiting for this.

Your like the only other person that geuniunly likes the sub-space emissary. :'0 we must be kindered spirits.

I was waiting for this to come out

You should make some iceberg videos for Donkey Kong Country (all the 3 main games), Klonoa (the entire saga) and maybe Castlevania (BOi that one would be long as hell!).

I wish they brought back Coin Battle and Smash Run in Ultimate

Im watching them all! Only 2 more to go! Now i demand you make 624 more icebergs. If you dont I will cry bitter tears. Also, thanks for these they all kick ass so far :D

Another fun fact for Ditto, as I recall it can show up as a character icon in tournament mode for a random selection

Great video. I love these icebergs

“The character can not already be an assist trophy” Laughs in little Mac

Yes! I'm loving these icebergs videos

Assist trophies can become fighters as long as their trophy is removed, look at dark samus

i feel like space jumping/teleports in subspace are a fair way to kind of even the playing field a bit more, since the camera focuses on player 1 at all times, and there's a lot of awkward platforming sections that can easily/constantly leave player 2 behind without really good cooperation between the players (as well as player 2 not being able to go through doors, or keep playing if player 1 dies, etc). especially if we're talking about two kids playing the game (which was definitely the case for me way back when), that's an argument waiting to happen, so as much as it looks like little easy baby mode on the outside i genuinely really appreciate its inclusion.

More icebergs pls 💚

I find these videos a lot of fun to watch, after Pokémon you should totally cover Metroid.

great video love your content

14:42) Would just like to point out that Grovyle is on here and not Sceptile, further proving me right on believing Grovyle is better than Sceptile. Also, the "Cannot Be an Assist Trophy," rule is false since both Little Mac and Isabelle were Assist Trophies who became fighters. So basically, Shadow still has a chance to be added in Smash 6

i remember watching the mario 64 iceberg and him mentioning this upcoming video and thinking this would never come out

It's always a good day when you upload, keep up the good work :D (also kinda glad this wasn't an hour long April Fools joke)

Joker appeared on the 3DS in Persona Q2 which released on November 29th, 2018, and then was announced for Smash a week later on December 6th, 2018. So he did appear on a Nintendo console prior to his announcement.

“This is gonna be a shorter vid” (Is still an hour long)

Am I the only one that noticed tha awesome sync at 5:06 Idk if it was on purpose but its badass

One thing about the #freemelee part. The Big House is a tournament series that is one of the biggest and most historical tournaments in the competitive scene. Nintendo cancelled it because Slippi requires the use of an emulator and that was the only way to run that tournament at the time in 2020. Normally it’s an in person event and will be happening this year. Also to add on, in 2013 Nintendo tried to take down the entire melee event at Evo, but the backlash for this was so bad that they changed their mind. Nintendo hates us

41:11 you forgot to mention how ditto finally made an appearance in ultimate with his intended use

5:27 - Love that cutscene

This will be exciting

Galeem and Dharkoon are in one way related to the occult. Their symbolism and role fit the idea of the right hand path (order, stability, no change, stick to the rules and so on) and the left hand path (chaos, destruction, questioning of rules, extatic states and so on)

Such good videos. But not enough. Looking forward to more!

> “Like Captain Falcon and Fox, who have never been seen out of their vehicles” Star Fox Assault has Fox leaving the Arwings to fight off enemies in an enemy encampment

Swell video! Only thing I have to say, I was expecting spooky music in the lower layers.

An explanation for why Mr. Game and Watch can't L Cancel is because there was some error in the game development that makes the game consider 3 of his Aerials specials, so he only has 2 Aerials and has 5 specials, I got this from a vid on AsumSaus's channel, he has some really cool vids that cover a lot more of competitive Melee fun facts

57:11 I don't know how anyone hears gummi bears on that stage. He very _definitely_ says Charmander clear as day when he pops out

Black hole glitch brings back memories. Used to do that so much with my cousins.

I'm a bit late, but this is an awesome video :)
