Smash was probably my favourite gaming event ever. Like I bought it, didn't like it and didn't play much of it - it was my first Smash game - but those fucking reveals were hitting on every level. You'd watch a Direct and wait for the Smash reveal, and outside of the occasional fart like Byleth, it always delivered.

I went back and saw Max Dood's reactions to the Smash 4 reveals and DLC and stuff, because I wasn't as into the directs and stuff like I am now. The trailers aren't very good. Like seeing Mega Man is hype, but they're very short and they don't have much context. Each of the Smash Ultimate reveals felt like their own little movie.

Like the King K.Rool trailer became a meme and they reused it for Banjo because of how well it went over, and that got kind of old - but the part where Donkey Kong and K.Rool are like gunning for each other and they're both like snarling and tearing at the ground to get more speed is fucking incredible. The Castlevania reveal absolutely fucking owned. For some reason, Mario and Luigi were killed by Ridley and Death respectively, like what?

I don't like the game itself, but that stretch of DLC character reveals was fucking awesome - and then they made a second wave of DLC and kept the reveals coming for another year. That span of time was very fun to be a Nintendo fan.
