Character Icons - History Behind Super Smash Bros. Melee

[kiragami218]

@MsMariosonic Oh Yeah I know why! I wasn't paying attention at the time =P

[kiragami218]

@MsMariosonic Idk why I put the comment, but I'm too tired to watch the vid again, so if I missed something, sorry.

[BazookaWorm14]

3:16 LOL COMPUTER PLAYER DEFEATED...

Ness: ok...

[ThePinkMamaLuigi]

The EarthBound/MOTHER character icon also appears on the secret MOTHER 3 logo at the end of MOTHER 3

[kiragami218]

but what about the sword?

[MsMariosonic]

@kiragami218 did you even watch?

[ocmedy]

COMPUTER PLAYER

DEFEATED

[jasmin8ter2010]

6:29 English text in a Japan-only game?

[TheArkNoidsz]

LIXO

[BlessedratdragonAlt]

I didn't even know where Ice Climbers' icon came from until now.

[ALL1NARUTO2]

@2000rubs holy shit i asked that 3 years ago and i just got an answer? XD

[ShadowFlare198]

@2000rubs Oh wow, I completely forgot about this comment..lol

[Cheetah1251]

When I first unlocked Mr. G&W as a kid I thought he was holding an electric plug.

[FireFoxKing12]

anyone who dose not already know were the symbols come from are not real nintendo fans.

[ImDrFail]

@FireFoxKing12 aww damnit, I was literally JUSTabout to type that...

[ElitePenguinShow]

@FireFoxKing12 uh does it matter when i dont know one?

[DarkMidnightBlade]

This is where sonic's icon came from: His head, lol

[DarkMidnightBlade]

lol i mean his icon from brawl obviously sonic is only in brawl in the ssb series

[ShirakoX35]

Capt falcon's symbol looks like The Pontiac Firebird/Trans Am Emblem.

[kurby345]

These are all kind of obvious aren't they?

[Daniraldo01]

@kurby345 Not only "kind of obvious", some of them are extremely obvious, but showing obvious things is one of the things that differ amateurs works of professional works, 'cause he has to give you all the information, no matter how obvious it looks like.

[Scrod99]

For the game*watch portion, is the song you used possibly the "octopus" theme from Game&Watch Gallery? It sounds familiar

[Cheetah1251]

The Triforce is also shown at the end of the Game & Watch version of Zelda.

[PlINGIO549]

@Cheetah1251 And at the end of Zelda 2.

[gokugohanson]

COMPUTER PLAYER DEFEATED!!!!!

[A113Pixar]

COMPUTER PLAYER DEFEATED!

[Sildawnver23]

why does it always say computer player defeated when melee comes up?

[Wylldenick]

@Sildawnver23

Beacue the character needed to be completely defeated so the percentage number couldn't cover the universe icon.

[MrBlakey13]

I reckon that the Ice Climbers emblem should've been a mountain or something. Why the hell do the collect vegetables while climbing a mountain?!

[emmeg516]

BECAUSE VEGETABLES ARE GOOD FOR YOU!

[divamccool]

El icono de Ness es la Tierra pero de cabeza. Las manchas blancas de arriba del logo so las nubes de la Antártida y a la izquierda superior está África

[oxe161]

im pretty sure mother is used to say "Mother Earth" because of the logo, and because aliens are trying to destroy our mother earth

[dynastypurple1]

okay!!

[leafburn12]

all memorys......besides game & watch

[MsMariosonic]

@coollein You aren't a real gamer than.

[coollein]

@MsMariosonic Thanks for replying, cause you sure made me confused. I would never say a thing like that. I love all those games, most of them are a part of my childhood :o

I was either drunk or "youtube-rolled", and I don't even drink *removes comment I even ranked down myself*

[MsMariosonic]

@coollein  ok

[Bullygat02]

Isnt the Triforce shown together at the end of Zelda II: The adventure of Link?

[marioman212]

how do you get the invoice thingy in SF64

[thebigbazzah]

its lylat wars.

[marioman212]

SF64 is lylat wars. my question still not answered.

[MadDawg010]

Beat the game and sit through the credits. If you kill over 800 enemies, General Pepper will say "This is one steep bill... but it's worth it." Kill over 1,100 and he'll say "Whaaat?!"

[zfan122]

@MadDawg010 I never got the Whaaaat?!" lol I'm gonna redownload it for VC and here it for myself XP

Also, if you kill all of StarWolf in the first stage (Including wolf) you'll fight the wolfin ships from starfox assault on the next stage with them :3

[frootinator]

u know cptn falcon has a gun & never uses it...

[dragonball4ever2009]

@frootinator Same with Ganondorf and his sword... -.-

[mrroyandwatctv]

Still Mr. Game and Watch has the best icon in the world

[RollingThunderStudio]

Am I alone in the fact that Game and Watch reminds me of the Twilight Zone?

[Chip7564]

now that I think about it... your right

[frootinator]

@RollingThunderStudio yes, yes u are

[x13nick13x]

ive always wondered about the ice climbers one. thanks for clearin that up

[wowkittycatclaws]

Nice job on getting 100% on Super Metroid!

[CaitlynRobotallian]

Even though Olimar's in Brawl, he gets his sign from a Pikmin Flower.

[ssbbdiego]

the icon of fox is cool i liket

[SuperSmashChockolate]

at 6:12 it's helmat game&watch.

[floooooooooooooooood]

im sure someone has already told you this and i really am just being padentic. anyway the triforce first came together at the end of zelda ii.

[AnthoFlex]

you are correct.

Most people haven't finished Zelda 2 though because of how ridiculously hard it is, thats why no one knows about that.

But i have. I love that game

[floooooooooooooooood]

i have and love the game also. its sad people didn't learn after playing wind waker that just because something is different doesn't mean its bad (ps i thin crappycapturedevice has finished it)

[SmashBoy64]

Is that F-Zero game for N64 any good? im thinkin about down loading it for V.C. and dont wanna waste 1,000 points!!!

[birdo56]

@SmashBoy64 yes it is I tried it the tracks are awesome, some of them are a little hard but it's a fun game

[crbgamer]

You know waht's weird, Mario, Samus, Kirby, and Pikachu's icons are items: a Super Mushroom, a Screw Attack, a Warpstar, and a Poke Ball

[UltamiteLifeForm360]

wat about Link's

the freakin' Triforce

the three pieces (in some games) r items too u collect

[UltamiteLifeForm360]

please don't thumb me down

this is a response

[crbgamer]

@UltamiteLifeForm360 I was referring to THIS game

[silvRboLt95]

@crbgamer All of them being items in the game :)

[ShadowFlare198]

i always thought nesses icon was a ball of fire...

[nairobi26]

1:42 Captain Falcon:

*Sounds like his balls got crushed*

Ow, Ballsack!

[zeratul575]

/\

/\/\ zelda for ever, agree? great vid i love ur vids

[mj0rA]

good vid, i finally get ness & lucas icons,

btw will mother ever be on shop channel for wii?

[zeratul575]

i dont know

[manxmacka]

they hate the game so i doubt it

[birdo56]

@mj0rA

[todamam66667]

@mj0rA most likely no

[chukaf69]

the legend of zelda a link to the past is by far my favorite game such an amazing game.

[sonny102]

"Egg designed eggs".

Lol?

[Wamuigi]

in 5:47 >> the music we hear is the same as the one in the popeye game in the NES, the first stage:

watch?v=Qf3161wYpso

;)

[chafenhimer]

they sound similar but it's really from game and watch gallery

[yoshiroks777]

hey, at the very begining when mario hits the block, the mushroom comes out of the wrong block

[ptracey]

64sp$ per unit destroyed, not bad. Sounds like easy money to me.

xD

Great video man, I was wondering where few of them REALLY came from, and I just needed confirmation on DK's.

5 stars :D

[jeongaus456]

For the first one, i know you're trying to be informative and all, and i respect that, but who DOESN'T know about Mario and the mushroom?

[wojogamer]

and link and the triforce.

[Caplessmario522]

and the pokeball

[haydenconnor]

how did you show all the game & watch games and the music slideshows

[shadowstalker5]

Poofybunny916 is also a recreation of a 12 year old douche fag female who thinks everyone cares what she looks like.

[MsMariosonic]

@PoofyBunny916 i hate you

[MsMariosonic]

@PoofyBunny916  idiot

[misfitmotor]

awesome

[Basilisk1349]

computer player : DEFEATED!

[invertin]

The screw attack IS her symbol.

Which seems kinda odd, thats like saying her signature move is to frontflip really fast.

[KenjiCXT]

You are wrong about Metroid, Zelda and Game & Watch.

In Metroid the S stands for SAMUS and is simply her "logo". This is shown in the manual for the NES-game.

The screw-attack does bears a strong resemblance to samus's logo, but is purple instead of red.

And well of course, the Triforce is the official Zelda-logo, but it was already shown in the first game.

The G&W logo is "almost" right. The GoW-character holding a bell was actually a sign that the G&W could be used as an alarm clock. :)

[LinksXstupidity]

you are wrong KenjiCXT

[shadowstalker5]

KenjiCXT you fool, the screw attack is her logo primarily because it's one of the first items you find for her. Along with the game Metroid 2 return of samus. The triforce wasn't shown in 3 pieces in the first game. Just 8 pieces of 1, Ganon and Zelda had the other 2. Zelda 2 wasn't even about the triforce and the Snes game, a Link to the past is correct. The G&W character was already explained the way you stated in the video. Check your facts.

[MeleeYaMum]

its also the main symbol for metroid prime on the GC

[MsMariosonic]

@KenjiCXT You're a dick ya know that?

[calebsmth90]

You should definitely do a set like this for Brawl.

[Mosenwrath5]

why dont you make a history behind brawl videos your melee ones are great.

[MikailCaboose]

Great job with the videos. I would just like to point out that Samus's screw attack emblem is a major portion of the metroid prime logos and title screen.

[johnlmonkey]

you should do a history behind Brawl video series cause these videos are great!

[rawrimstillonfire]

FALCHIOOON PAWNCH

[invertin]

I think the FALCON PUNCH was just a random idea, since Falcon names everything after him.

[Jaztec35]

or that too..

[bunpika121]

i remember link to the past i would make all the chickens scurry lol

[CrashvsWWE]

If Capt. Falcon was originated in a Racing game,where did NINTENDO get the idea for the Falcon... PAWNCH!?

[Deadly1993]

From the Anime, i think.

[Kanyon7]

the game came out long before the anime.

[Jaztec35]

they just made it up i guess they were lazy to think of a move for him..

[xRock1z]

Captain Falcon is a bounty hunter

so i guess he pwn his enemies with a Falcon PUNCH

but i've never knew it before SSB :(

[nintenfreak14]

@CrashvsWWE Made it up, I guess xD

[yellowfireyoshi]

Yoshi had an egg before that series.

[Strongbad717]

Yoshi DEBUTED in SMW!

[ALL1NARUTO2]

hay crappycapturedevice how old r you?

[AndyOmme]

lol cpt. falcons icon looks like a power up in "contra" (NES)

[ATRichard]

CCD, you may not know it, but you've already started yourself off on doing this for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. This also is for people who may have been curious about this. When Link collects the piece of the Triforce in the video, the music that plays is his, Zelda/Sheik's, Ganondorf's, and Toon Link's new victory music in SSBB. That's just to give you a jump start on your history videos for Brawl CCD. Keep up the good work, and thanks for all the info on Melee!

[SonicSuperfan117]

"screw attack"?? they REALLY should have thought about that name before they put it in

[AidanHM]

What was the song that was playing on the Mr. Game & Watch part? I think we had to play that for our orchestra

[Carlego9999]

After watching this vid, i cant think of nothing but "Player Defeated!"!!!

[wolflinkproduction]

I have yoshis island

[NintendoxFighter]

The Star is the ultimate Kirby shape.

[Quietschquatsch]

Is it me or is the shape of the first dungeon in Zelda I the same shape as the starfox-icon?

[craigofnel]

it IS similar now i think about it

[Quietschquatsch]

But Zelda came first... maybe someone at Nintendo said:"Hey, Shiggy, look at that! This looks like a fox with wings!" XD

[lovelessice]

Shiggy: "but foxes with wings are a stuiped thing!, meby a Fox on a Thing WITH wings!"

[legleglegleg]

And just like that, the history of StarFox has been told in its entirety. =P

[1Mudkip88]

could be

[AADudley]

I always wondered where the Earthbound's emblem came from.

Wouldn't it have been easier to find a scanned image or use a screenshot of th emblems instead of showing it in the middle of gameplay?

[anikid0392]

YES! My time have not passed!

[ZABScool]

awsome!

[Gwarrior101]

Man,you rock..........PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT U RULE

[zakiemon]

You really are doing everything, aren't ya?

[HeroOfLights]

Very thorough. I like it.

[crashandcortex]

Just one mistake you made:

At 4:23, that isn't a Screw Attack symbol. It looks like it, but its actually just a stylised S, which is also Samus' logo in Brawl.

Love your vids anyway.

[Au0s]

You really love Smash bros, don't you??

[triforce10155]

who dosent?

[Au0s]

You are so right!

[PuppyMaster44]

of course!

[SmashBrosBrawl]

kirbys signs is also a star because thats his home planets shape in n64 kirby.

[HunterTSF]

Epic. Do you have any idea on where the Smash Bros. original characters got their icon from?

[chickengoneturke2]

WHO THE HELL IS JOE?! XD

[experienceofnothing]

3:53- kirby lands on his head

>_>

ow

[smashbrosfan13]

He can attack his enemies by doing that.

[experienceofnothing]

heh, i know, it looks funny though

[smashbrosfan13]

Yeah, he does! :)

[TwistingSandHiddenSh]

computer player defeated.....

[TwistingSandHiddenSh]

computer player defeated.....

[Danny19921125]

Are you gonna do the same for Smash Bros. Brawl icons too?

[crazy4max]

Fox's Symbol is also what you moke around instead of 64 in the English version of StarFox64

[crazy4max]

Fox's Symbol is also what you moke around instead of 64 in the English version of StarFox64

[JavierTehSpirit]

Narrator: Computer Player Defeated

Ness: Ok...

[29Texan]

Ha!

[JavierTehSpirit]

Narrator: Computer Player Defeated

Ness: Ok...

[1983parrothead]

Ness's Earth symbol is the famous Blue Marble photo of planet Earth, but upside-down. The Screw Attack item was also seen in Metroid II: Return of Samus. The Triforce shown together actually first appeared at the end of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.

[grrr9]

Great video. One thing: Game and Watch Gallery Advance isn't Game and watch Gallery 4, its a seperate Japan only game.

[Captain538]

The Screw Attack emblem is not just representative of the item, it's pretty much the logo of the Metroid series. It appears in the background of most Metroid games' logo artwork.

[imZero]

I miss the ole' Star Fox 64 game, the best Star Fox game out there.

[T0x0T]

FALCON PUNCH

[vikingscool]

what about Fire Emblem character Roy & Marth?

[GandWatch]

its the sword of marth or roy...i not really sure

[vikingscool]

I think their sword is belong to Roy and Marth.

[wesker888]

the sword is the sword of seals that appears in fire emblem 6, roy´s game

[hostel969]

2:41 why and who says "what?"

[wesker888]

general pepper from star fox 64

he says what if you kill a lot of enemies cus fox is a mercenary and his payed by enemy kills

so he says "what?" cus hes going to pay a lot of money :D

[hostel969]

ahhh thank you!

[gabpieri]

The metroid icon is a S of Samus but is very similar with the screw attack

[GandWatch]

no, the simbol of samus its the screw attack

[vivekbob]

Lol I always thought that eggplant was a jellybean on crack

[nejuer]

lol

[OfficerJordan]

A more simple explanation for DK: it appears on his necktie.

[espinmex140]

wonder why they call yoshi a he if they lay eggs...

[911Goofy]

winder who they call birdo a she if they wear bows, shoot eggs and are really guys...

[Curttehmurt]

Solid Snake: It lays eggs and throws them, right?... then it must be female.

Otacon: ...actually it's a "he." At least, that's what it says.

Solid Snake: It talks?

Otacon: Yes! It talks! Well kind of...

Solid Snake: Now you've got me curious... how about I capture one so we can see what it tastes like?

Otacon: Uhh, Snake...

[MsMariosonic]

@espinmex140 hedgehogs don't talk but sonic is one

[NeoSeifer]

Actually, that symbol that you see during the end of Super Metroid has never been used for the Screw Attack item. The Screw Attack item usually looks like a lightning bolt, but that other symbol looks more like a stylized angular "S". That symbol actually represents Samus herself and is used as her icon in SSBB.

[supernerd00020]

also with Donkey Kong characters, you see that symbol alot in DK 64
