No worries! Health before anything and everything, and it was only a one day difference.

The worst cut in my opinion is Sonic's "You're too slow!" Taunt. Yeah, the voice line was changed, but "Sonic Speed!" Isn't really a taunt, just him saying something. The "You're too slow!" taunt is actually a taunt, like peaches singing taunt.

I hate it. They made so many characters lose their cool by doin' this to 'em.

"Every single character gets three unique taunts, except for Wario, he gets four." Dedede: *Laughs in crouch animation*

The Sonic section doesn't mention the very direct reasoning that he not only got a new voice actor (going from Jason Griffith to Roger Craig Smith) but also that Roger Craig Smith is a union voice actor and that Smash Bros. is a non-union product, with this leading to multiple characters from Kid Icarus being recast and Pit's voice staying the same but uncredited. The only option they had for Sonic was reusing old voice lines recorded for Sonic games, and since Sonic never said "You're too slow!" outside of Brawl, there was no way to keep it. A notable example of them reusing a voiceline is his Final Smash line being taken from the cutscene before the final boss in Sonic Generations.

I actually said that to a foreign exchange student from Japan once in our senior year, and he actually translated it 😂

"You're too slow!" is such an iconic line. I can't believe they cut it.

Most of these were cut because they messed with the hitbox of the character.

4:09 This "taunt" is based on the way Link puts his hand on his hip and leans back when he talks to NPCs in OOT

marth's original japanese line actually translates well to what he says in ultimate. The down taunt in brawl and 4 roughly translates to "everyone, eyes on me," and "keep your eyes open" is close enough - although i wish he'd shout "eyes on me!" instead. Yuri Lowenthal is also a _perfect_ voice actor for marth, and i am beyond satisfied with the choice. I'm gonna edit this as I watch because i love taunts. Sonic's side taunt originally saying "you're too slow!" is the most in-character taunt in the series. Even if the devs wanted taunts to he shorter and cancelable, the line's short enough that it works. I _cannot_ think of a reason to switch it for a worse taunt. Sonic's side taunt is similar, but the line in brawl is long - so instead of "come on, step it up!" just chsnge it to "step it up!" or some variation of the phrase.

I have an idea to re-implement the Mario Grow Up taunt. Have him crouch down to make him look like small Mario, then he’ll pretend he’s growing until he gets on his tippy toes with his fist up, to reference his jumping pose.

Mario's old side taunt is actually nearly identical to his animation in New Super Mario Bros when he reaches the flagpole. Idk if it's actually directly based on that, but it's pretty dang close

calling pikachu "the rat" hit in a hilarious way

Man i miss the mario grow taunt

3:56 okay don’t know why, but the “eh” combined with the quiet voice “Idle animation looking.” Delivery is just so freaking hilarious! I don’t know why but it’s just too good and perfect!

I miss Brawl Falco with his New Yorker accent. It's not AI as that literally didn't exist back then but ripping the files shows that it's cut up kinda like Ultimate Pikachu but it's way less noticable. Like you can tell they cut a few samples out of "Personally, I prefer the air!" in Brawl for example. What most likely happened was that the original takes were too slow and so they were all edited to fit the animations better.

Good video, and hope you feel better soon Odyssey.

Im so glad he took the jumpscares out of his videos, I've always been kind of interested in your content, but Im terrified of FNAF lol.

I feel like "You're too slow" was cut because it was becoming too much like "The cake is a lie". Ask anyone what they remember about Brawl, and odds are, it'll be Sonic saying "You're too slow". Ask anyone what they remember about Portal, and odds are, it'll be the graffiti saying "The cake is a lie". IIRC, according to the dev commentary of Portal 2, the writers at Valve were so bummed out by how memetic "The cake is a lie" became, they completely removed all references to cake in Portal 2, save for one throwaway gag. Ever since that one gag, cake has never been mentioned in the Portal-verse since.

I actually like Mr. Game & Watch's up taunt. When I still played the game, I liked to spam both bell taunts alternating between the two.

A fond memory of Melee that I have is going into the custom match mode to set all players to giant, playing as Mario, collecting a super mushroom, and then doing the up taunt to make the largest Mario possible.

*playing Falco with different taunt* "Get some-" *down smashes*

I’m surprised you didn’t mention the changes to Fox’s gun-flip taunt from Brawl to 4/Ultimate! Also Brawl Fox had the coolest voice imo

I think the weird tone of Falco's voice in Brawl is either just hs voicelie's ripped strait from StarFox Asselt, where all the voices sound like there coming through a speaker phone, or it's supposed to be in reference to Lylatese, the gibberish that StarFox characters talk with in StarFox's 1 2 & Command (and in some version's of 64 for some reason)

you should do cut idle animations next!

Can you do the cut themes from Super Mario Maker? Obviously, there may be some opinions of what themes are unique enough to be considered a theme, but it might still work.

Never knew Mike West voiced Fox in both Smash 4 and Ultimate. His delivery is so different in both games, you can really see his growth as a VA.

Another fact about Pac-Man's Namco Roulette is that Ultimate changed some of the sound effects for some games. For example, the Bosconian ship used to say Alert Alert in Smash 4, but it was changed to a laser fire sound effect from the game in Smash Ultimate.

Old Wolf D-Taunt: *Wolfen noises* New Wolf D-Taunt: an attempt at a Howl in which his voice cracks what I'd say, if they really wanted to keep that sound, is to put the new noise as a 1/8 or so chance for his Up Taunt, like his voice actually cracked there, and do something else for the down taunt

The Mario side-taunt comes from New Super Mario Bros, where he does that animation after taking the flag at the end of a level

All taunts have been removed if you're online... unless you're daddy's favorite, Kirby. I'd argue they should at LEAST let you use the taunts with hitboxes like Luigi's or Greninja's online. (Also there's a pokemon short where a Pichu turns around and slaps its butt to taunt another pokemon, and I'm still mad they never made it a taunt in smash.)

@ElecManEXE

Ай бұрын

Kirby needs to be able to taunt to drop his ability, nothing to do with favoritism. Removing taunts online is lame anyway, if a video game character saying a goofy line or doing a little dance makes you that mad you need to take a step back.

Mario's old hat taunt is based on the animation when he clears a level in the New Super Mario Bros series. Personally I prefer it to the new one tbh...

20:27 In Project+, Toon Link's "glare" taunt got replaced by him drinking milk. This taunt heals some of his damage, but don't do that too often or else you'll be open-ended to enemy attacks. Try performing this milk-drinking taunt when your opponent is far away and in a state where he or she can't reach you too soon. Also, Snake gets a cig-smoking taunt in Project M and Project+. Completing this taunt in its entirety damages Snake by 1%. Avoid performing this taunt to keep the damage rate low. Lucario's up taunt in P+ also damages him, but the time to take damage is far quicker than Snake's cig-smoking taunt.

Okay, the new Wolf taunt sparked such a funny moment for me! I was playing Ultimate with my sister when I went to do a taunt, and hearing him make such a strange noise was so funny that we now randomly go up to each other and just go "Nyaaa."

*Hot Take:* I _do not_ miss Mario's old up taunt. It was slow, makes your hitbox bigger, leaves you EXTREMELY vulnerable (making it so there's _never_ a good time to use it), and it doesn't even look that good.

Please, no cartoon characters. Let Smash stay video-game-centric.

16:26, Maybe Mr. Game & Watch's current Down Taunt can become his Short Down Taunt, with his Brawl one being his Long Down Taunt. Project+ has short press and long press taunt variants, such as Kirby's classic "Hi!" sound as his short down taunt, and Ness's peace sign and camera flash as his short up taunt. Not to mention Mario gets a long down taunt in the form of the fireball serve and catch. Hopefully Nintendo can include this taunt system in a second edition of Smash Ultimate if possible.

I think your the first person on the internet in general that I've seen actually get where Zeldas design comes from correct. I've seen so many people say it from A Link to the Past too often.

0:00 Well, there has to be a gameplay mechanic that gives your opponent a free Final Smash by taunting during the opponent's KO animation. It would be called Rakusyo, and basically this mechanic convinces you to not taunt as much. I just hope Rakusyo becomes a thing in future Smash games, and I could see it being tournament legal, since most Smash tournaments tend to have items and FS meter disabled. If Final Smashes can be done in a tournament ruleset, I could see the Final Smashes being locked to Rakusyo only.

I think a very important reason Kirby's taunt was changed to such a quick one is the fact that you can get rid of any inhale ability by taunting, and having that super short taunt lets you have a way of getting rid of any ability you don't want almost immediately and without putting yourself in danger In that sense, I think it's a great taunt to have

I remember SPAMMING Wolf’s howl taunt in Brawl. I just loved it that much! 😂

I also like how the kirby up taunt now has the funtionality to remove their copy ability, being a double reference to how copy abilities are lost as an ability star in kirby games

In Melee if you go to Kongo Jungle in gaint melee with only super mushrooms on and use Mario's taunt he will move up the platform

My theory with Adult Link in melee having that brushing his hair is more of a charm animation to people who had a big crush on him back in the late 90s and 00s. Alot of people in magazines and early online forums and art galleries back in the day had crushes on Link. Few girls and boys I used to talk to back in the day had a crush on link.
