They Killed Mario Again Explanation Some of the reveal trailers for Ultimate have quite the tendency of having Mario brutally assaulted by the Newcomer that is joining the roster , with these being getting his neck snapped by Ridley, getting blown up by a Creeper in Steve's reveal trailer and then getting impaled by Sephiroth's sword Mario finally catches a break. Rather infamous among players fighting against Mario as many of his players will fish for any opportunity to use the move when he sends his opponent offstage, as he shouts "YIHOO" the same way every single time.
SpongeBob 's forward aerial. When his moveset was revealed, fans were very quick to notice that his "Down Swing" aerial attack was very similar to a certain plumber's most infamous move although the input isn't a "forward aerial" due to the differences between the two games , further heightening the comparisons.
Keyblade Master Mario. The way the Keyblade doesn't instantly return to Sora's hand after Mario does this like it does with most other non-Keyblade wielders led fans to speculate that Mario is or has the potential to be a Keyblade wielder himself. Sakurai later explained that this wasn't the case, and that the Keyblade simply took a form that Mario could wield temporarily, but like with Captain America and Mjolnir , it hasn't stopped fans from dreaming.
Donkey Kong: Finding zero-to-death combos on Donkey Kong Explanation DK's large hurtbox and abysmal defensive options leave him as quite possibly the biggest piece of combo food on the entire roster, so there are many ways to throw him into a Cycle of Hurting that ends in him getting KO'd. The meme really took off with the addition of Byleth in January , as they were discovered to have a true zero-to-death on the big ape off of a single up special.
Yoshi: Yoshi killed Mufasa. Many people have compared it to Mufasa's death scene from The Lion King Explanation Kirby escaping Galeem's lasers when everyone else fell victim, coupled with how fast he would have to be moving to escape, led to a lot of The Chosen One jokes, Memetic Badass , and religious symbolism proclaiming him to be the most powerful being in existence.

Fans frequently post it alongside the square versions of Kirby from the crossovers his series had with BoxBoy!

Naturally people reacted as if he actually died. The joke sometimes gets extended to Mario, Mega Man, and Dedede, as all three have also been offed in Ultimate reveal trailers the first two by Ridley and Dedede by K.
Luigi is okay. Explanation Nintendo UK's official response to the above was assuring gamers that Luigi was fine. Luigi fishing for grabs Explanation Luigi in Ultimate has a zero-to-death combo that involves beating the enemy down with his neutral and down aerials before finishing them with a sweetspotted up special.
However, the only way to lead into this is with his down throw. As a result, it's common to exaggerate Luigi players' propensity for doing grabs such that it's all they do. Put that down, Ness! Ryo Horikawa came back just to eat noodles. Explanation Captain Falcon's voice actor, who hadn't provided new lines for him since the original Super Smash Bros , actually came back for a bit to voice the captain in this trailer, which, once again, consisted of Captain Falcon eating Min Min's ramen.
Sakurai even pointed this out in his presentation. She sports a cute, happy face in the game especially when doing the wave taunt when compared to the more stoic-looking The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess version of her from the past two games. Explanation It was discovered that Zelda's hurtbox in Ultimate has a more noticable rear in a specific frame.
Giant Pichu Explanation Ultimate patch 3. The fact that its hitboxes were changed and not the character's size were not mentioned in the patch notes, so people quickly made pics showing an exaggerated size change for Pichu. The first version is also a spin on the "Ridley's too big" meme. Happy 35th anniversary Link!
Let's treat you to the same " fun " Mario went through during his. Explanation A number of fans noticed following the reveal for Pyra and Mythra how Link was chosen as the new Chew Toy to get assaulted in place of Mario, with plenty of them also noting the change coinciding with going from the Super Mario 35th anniversary to The Legend Of Zelda 35th anniversary.
Explanation The sound Ganondorf makes when performing his forward smash in Ultimate. It's arguably the most infamous move in his arsenal due to its range, power, and deceptive speed for such a damaging attack, so expect to hear it a lot. Naturally, fans have had a field day with this. Chad memes. People like to make "Virgin vs. Chad" pictures comparing the Ultimate Ganondorf with his previous versions from older Smash games.
Racist Mr. Many people online complained that this was racially offensive, which prompted Nintendo to apologize and promise to edit the animation in the Day 1 Patch. On the other end, some have mocked the fact that a public outcry was made over two whole frames of animation, ironically making the response to the incident a meme as well. Zero Suit Samus: The bounty hunter's physique in Ultimate gained a ton of attention upon release for the more toned and buff appearance, leading to a massive amount of fanart and appreciation shortly afterwards.
Nerfed boobs, but overall buff. Explanation Others noticed that ZSS's bust size was noticeably reduced, but joked that it didn't matter since she was now toned and it was a net gain. Explanation The World of Light trailer showed a battle against Zero Suit Samus with Shantae as her Spirit, complete with transformation items to replicate her abilities.
Space mommy Explanation One Zero Suit Samus cosplayer would express her affection for the character and her newly toned body by repeatedly referring to her as "space mommy" on various platforms, which coincided with the rising popularity of "mommy" as a term of endearment. This resulted in the nickname effectively being wrenched from Rosalina, and Samus in general being referred to as "mommy" quite often.
Solid Snake: Good Dad Snake Explanation Snake being a good father to Isabelle has already gave rise to fanart where he takes her on a sneaking mission and assures her that he's using tranquilizers , and asks her what's the basics of CQC , with her answer being "Caring quality compassion" and accepts this.
This relationship likely came about due to the fact that, in his home series, Snake is shown to be very fond of dogs, and Isabelle is a dog. They nerfed Snake's ass. Explanation Similar to Samus, Solid Snake's, erm, assets being considerably reduced has led to outcries and a plethora of jokes. Snake is Ness's dad. Explanation Thanks to World of Light including a Spirit of Ness's Dad featuring an invisible Snake a joke on how Ness's father is never actually seen in EarthBound , only spoken to over the phone , a meme sprang up that Snake really was Ness's dad, and that the reason he's never home is because he's always on secret missions.
Similar to the Isabelle memes, these usually also include jokes and images about Snake engaging in fatherly activities with Ness, further helped by one of the images on the challenge board showing Snake playing baseball with Ness.
Ike: "Prepare yourself. However, in English, the taunts barely sounded different. Sonic can punch you so hard, he sends you to Minecraft. Explanation The Steve reveal trailer opens with Mario fighting various characters, only for him to eventually be punched hard by Sonic, causing him to fly off the stage and into a Minecraft cave.
Naturally, jokes about Sonic being strong enough to punch anyone into another game followed soon after. Some people noted with amusement that, because Sonic is so memetic nowadays, people just headcanoned Sonic as able to send people to Minecraft with a single punch and it doesn't feel out of place at all. Rool, but it was I, DeDeDio! Fans of both works then preceded to make jokes riffing the similarity.
Wolf: Punished Wolf Explanation Wolf returns in Ultimate with his one-eyed character design from Star Fox Zero , and given that he's returning at the same time as Solid Snake, some people have joked that Wolf now resembles Venom Snake , or perhaps more closely, D-Dog. Since Wolf is extremely popular in the Furry Fandom , many were saddened by his exclusion and grateful for his return. This also means there is a resurgence of fan art and Foe Yay between him and Fox and Falco. The whole bisexual outfit not helping matters.

People joked on how bandannas relate to "fetish signals" with armpits and is teased with accordingly. Also occasionally called a "bi-bitch" due to his default colors. Suddenly, Mii Gunner mains. Explanation The Sans Mii Gunner costume led to a noticeable number of people suddenly caring about Miis in Smash , to the point of many of them deciding to main Mii Gunner just because one of the most memetic characters is a skin for them.
Sans was too lazy, so he just sent a costume. Explanation One of Sans's primary character traits is his laziness. Seeing as his representation in Ultimate is in the form of a costume and not a full-fledged character, many jokes have ensued that Sans received a Smash fighter invitation, considered all the work involved, then either sold costumes of himself to characters wanting to be in Smash or paid a passing Mii to dress up as him for the fights.
Mii Gunner: "No one cared who I was until I put on the mask. Explanation The announcement of Sans costume caused more Mii Gunners to appear online than Banjo-Kazooie players, despite the fact that the latter were the most anticipated newcomer at the time.
Likewise, due to not a whole lot of younger Smash players not knowing or caring who Terry was, more focus was put on the costume than the next character in the first Fighters Pass. Note that while it would seem that the Cuphead costume was going to overshadow Byleth in a similar way, the latter's divisive nature caused them to be more talked on than the costume, despite it being better received by the fanbase.
Our battle will be legendary! In response to the similar levels of hype, many fans quoted this line from Kung Fu Panda , with one of the Mii Gunner characters saying it to the other. Combining Sans with other Mii Costumes Explanation In general, placing Sans' head on the body of any other costume became a popular thing to do, with notable examples including the Creeper costume and the Shantae costume.
Explanation The Vault Boy Mii outfit was revealed alongside Min Min, who coincidentally was the 76th fighter excluding echo fighters in the game. Fans were quick to realize exactly what this meant , and quickly decided that Todd Howard was responsible for this master act of trolling.
The game itself has become rather infamous for seeing port after port, which led to jokes about Todd porting Skyrim content into Smash Bros. This was referring to Travis Touchdown without naming his home series of No More Heroes directly, but due to Travis Scott becoming a huge meme in Fall of because of the Travis Scott McDonald's meal, some joked that he was the actual Travis being added to the game.
Not helping matters was the fact that Travis Scott did an in-game collaboration with Fortnite , leading some to joke that he's a video game character now. This is notably the first time since the Smash 4 days that a highly requested character getting added as a costume caused people to mourn rather than celebrate, especially when compared to the positive reception of the Sans and Cuphead costumes. What the hell is this? Explanation A video from CodexEntry, superimposing Byleth's reveal splash screen behind a scene from Devil May Cry 4 where Dante is incredibly confused upon seeing a rainforest where one shouldn't be.
Prior to the reveal of the 5th DLC fighter, many expected Dante to be the new challenger for Smash thanks to V's voice actor saying how great it would be for Dante to appear in Smash, in addition to one of dates for information about new features for the Switch port of the third game being on the same day as the presentation.
This has since become a Running Gag every time a fighter that's not Dante gets announced, with him being put in environments relevant to who was announced. Came back with even greater force with Dante's reveal as a Mii Costume, with the appropriate edit.
Say the line, Dante! Explanation Some people who were tired of the meme getting quoted every time a new character who isn't Dante got confirmed have responded with this , giving the impression Dante is tired of saying it too. Featuring Dante from Dante explanation A variant of the meme mocking Nintendo's habit of using the character names instead of the actual series names whenever they announce a Mii costume based on something M-rated, including with Dante himself.
Tiny Slayer Explanation With the reveal of Doom Slayer as a Mii Costume also came the revelation that he is positively tiny as a result, even in the trailer barely reaching Dark Samus' hips. With the fan headcanon that Doomguy and Samus in power armour are roughly the same height concrete figures vary or don't really exist, but most sources say Doomguy is 6ft, and Samus hovers around the same area depending on what source you choose , fanart began pouring out of Samus interacting with the mini Slayer, mostly for comedic effect.
The shortened height also makes him closer to Isabelle's size. The Dream is Dead! Explanation A character being revealed as a Mii Fighter costume is treated by the fanbase as the death knell to their chances of actually joining the roster proper. Reaction videos to these announcements typically came with some combination of reactors saying their dreams were killed or the character was definitively deconfirmed.
This was particularly apparent when the costumes for Geno and Dante were announced. As of patch Pac-Man cheerfully embraces his imminent demise Explanation During "Mr. Since Pac's default expression is standing there and smiling, this led to a bit of humorous Dissonant Serenity as he happily looks at the ARMS roster coming to beat the crap out of him, with the frames just before he gets hit becoming popular similarly to the " heheh!
I'm in danger! Robin summoning Chrom to beat up Chrom. Their victory animation with Chrom hasn't been updated either, leading to more mockery as well as suspicion that Chrom was added very late in development. Cloud can't escape Sephiroth Explanation Sephiroth's reputation as a Super-Persistent Predator to Cloud who constantly manages to torment him, whether it be in the future , another series or even in the remake of their game , makes its way into Super Smash Bros. Cue jokes about how, no matter where Cloud goes, Sephiroth is sure to follow.
Rool , often humorously used against Inkling mains, though this usually happens in reverse, which leads to Commonly used against non-Inkling mains who simply judge the character for obvious and sometimes questionable reasons Daisy : Daisy Ridley confirmed for the new Super Smash Bros.
Ultimate on the same stream, leading to an abundance of jokes akin to this one. Come Isabelle's reveal, the meme becomes even funnier since Daisy's middle name is Isobel. Barry B. Benson is also a popular suggestion because "ya like jazz? Most famously, the crowd at Nintendo's NYC store erupted into a chant of this during his trailer during the E3 presentation.
Once Ridley made his long-awaited debut in Super Smash Bros. Ridley's hat spin. Explanation Ridley left quite an impression on people in his reveal trailer, wherein he brutally murdered Nintendo's flagship character and Mega Man and then taunted Samus by spinning Mario's hat around on his finger with a terrifying smile on his face. A common joke is to replace Mario's hat with the headgear of other characters who didn't make it into Ultimate , especially Waluigi.
Ridley is Captain America. Explanation The story is that Japanese players started saying this due to the fact that Ridley's popularity in the United States was what caused him to finally be included. Simon Belmont : What a horrible night to have a leak. As soon as that happened, Simon's reveal in the following Direct was no longer a surprise.
The only thing missing is how this mistake happened. Bloody Tears". It's a Fandom-Enraging Misconception for Castlevania fans, as Simon's version of the move predates Sheik's version by about a decade.
Originally a YouTube comment that became repeatedly copied throughout the Smash community with varied teams that featured Simon or Richter.
It references the battle at Dracula's castle at the end of the second season of the animated series when Trevor "strategizes" their method of attack: "I terrify them. Sypha disorients them. Alucard goes over the top and we support him.
