Perkilator Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 The current reveal trailer formula of a character being invited to Smash somehow, and having gameplay to accompany them…but most importantly, the taglines for each character, the most recent of which being “Byleth Recruits…Byleth!” All thanks to E3 2013, where we not only first saw Smash 4, but also had these 3 taglines: ”Villager Comes to Town!” “Mega Man Joins the Battle!” ”Wii Fit Trainer Weighs In!” What’s your opinion on the formula for giving each newcomer their own trailer? Personally, I like it because it makes every newcomer reveal feel special in their own way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bk1234 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I absolutely love the newcomer trailers and slogans for smash characters! Like you said it makes the reveals special. Smash Bros character reveals are a huge deal now and these trailers "hype-up" the audience in a way. You not only enjoy the trailer when you watch it, but you look forward to more trailers and characters in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Brand Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I'm in favor of it. I've even tried thinking of some myself: Crash Bandicoot and Spyro's trailers can feature other platformer characters like Mario, Donkey Kong, Sonic, and Banjo & Kazooie. Spyro's trailer would be a sequel to Crash's, much as B&K was a sequel to K. Rool's. Speaking which, Yooka & Laylee could get a trailer that is a sequel to B&K's, once again featuring the DK hut. I imagine they build up another silhouette fake out; this time DK and Diddy aren't fooled, they've seen the trick twice already. But it gets subverted when the silhouette performs a Camo Cloak, and they get to surprise DK and Diddy all the same. Miriam from Bloodstained could get a sequel trailer to Simon and Richter's, with Bayonetta and Ganondorf joining in to represent the theme of demons. Shantae's trailer could be animated in a style similar to cutscenes from Seven Sirens, and show her goofing around with Link, Pit, Samus, and some other adventure heroes. Krystal's trailer could have her save Fox from King K. Rool possessed by General Scales' spirit, and play up their romantic relationship a bit. Crash Bandicoot Is Ready to Smash! Spyro the Dragon Brings It On! Yooka & Laylee Are Ready to Play! Miriam Arises! Shantae Dances Through the Danger! Krystal Answers the Call!

Yexin Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 i love them probably my favorite trailers so far are simon and richter's, the hero's and terry's byleth's trailer was underwhelming because it gave you no time to wonder who the character might've been, killing every sense of suspense (although one could argue that the suspense was built during the whole period of silence which preceded the trailer, but that wouldn't be due to the trailer's merit) i hope they continue with these trailers what i'd love to see is: everything is dark, you can't see anything but you can hear some steps; the silhouette of a door appears, as the character starts to be SLIGHTLY recognizable; Simple and Clean (Orchestral) starts playing, and the character's arm points a key-like weapon which shoots a light beam towards the door; the door starts opening and engulfing everything in light, and as the music reaches the first refrain, sora comes out of the other side (Battlefield) of the door and the line "Sora unlocks the battle!" appears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
