KoopaTV's Super Smash Bros. Ultimate November Direct Live Reactions

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - The most important Direct in history?

Today, Nintendo and Super Smash Bros. series director Masahiro Sakurai are out to dispel with some fictions about Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Thus, we have a Direct that has perhaps more riding on it than any other in history. But it was at an awkward... 10 AM Eastern time, which results in some hardships for everyone. But with all the FAKE NEWS out there, and the future of the Nintendo Switch in the balance, this is not a Direct that could be missed. And so the KoopaTV staff reacted to it.

Pay attention to the many sub-plots involved in this log. All of our staff members, plus Discord groupie Ryu (otherwise known as MarioSun90, not to be confused with Ryu the Street Fighter) are here, since we all recognise the importance of this Direct. I'm at work trying to watch the Direct and react to it without getting caught. Rawk fully expects Banjo-Kazooie. Kamek got a flat tire. Wendy doesn't even have a Nintendo Switch. Witch Princess... wants to make a bunch of Ace Attorney references, which I suppose makes her the hero of the log!

Watch the Direct with us, embedded below, and read along our comments!

[10:43 AM] Witch Princess: It's good now

[10:43 AM] RawkHawk2010: World of Light looks exactly like what I fucking wanted.

[10:43 AM] RawkHawk2010: I've made posts about it!

[10:43 AM] RawkHawk2010: and like

[10:43 AM] Ludwig Von Koopa: You leaked it?

[10:43 AM] Sooper Sekrit Agent Wendy: ok

[10:43 AM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Wendy buy that bundle.

[10:43 AM] RawkHawk2010: Reminder that XC2 as a whole got its own call-out.

[10:44 AM] Sooper Sekrit Agent Wendy: Is that Smash Switch available for purchase yet?

[10:44 AM] Sooper Sekrit Agent Wendy: I'm totally buying that

[10:47 AM] RawkHawk2010: I watched Incineroar's anime episode last night.

[10:47 AM] RawkHawk2010: Guess it was appropriate.

[10:47 AM] Ludwig Von Koopa: AURA BLAST

[10:48 AM] Ryu: That cat's recovery sucks

[10:48 AM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Incineroar mediocre recovery.

[10:48 AM] RawkHawk2010: P.S. I'm more than okay with no trophies given the alternative.

[10:48 AM] Witch Princess: I like Lucario

[10:48 AM] Sooper Sekrit Agent Wendy: wow that recovery for Lucario

[10:48 AM] Sooper Sekrit Agent Wendy: I hope Jigglypuff isn't as derpy as she was in Brawl

[10:49 AM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Incineroar is a tiger Rawk Hawk.

[10:49 AM] Witch Princess: Lol

[10:49 AM] Ryu: Puff never really changed much

[10:49 AM] RawkHawk2010: Rawk Hawk would have that Side B.

[10:49 AM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Just wanna put that out there.

[10:50 AM] Sooper Sekrit Agent Wendy: Well

[10:50 AM] Witch Princess: Oh great now I can't unsee that

[10:50 AM] Sooper Sekrit Agent Wendy: From like Brawl to Wii U?

[10:50 AM] Witch Princess: Thanks Ludwig

[10:50 AM] RawkHawk2010: Or whatever the move is where he spawns the rail.

[10:50 AM] RawkHawk2010: So Shantae was a Spirit?

[10:51 AM] Ludwig Von Koopa: k gotta go

[10:51 AM] RawkHawk2010: k bye.

[10:51 AM] Sooper Sekrit Agent Wendy: ciao

[10:51 AM] Witch Princess: Bye

[10:51 AM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Keep log going if you want.

[10:51 AM] RawkHawk2010: yea

[10:51 AM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Until they show Let's Go.

[10:51 AM] Witch Princess: Mkay

[10:51 AM] Ludwig Von Koopa: STAY SAFE KAMEK.

[10:51 AM] Witch Princess: ^

[10:52 AM] RawkHawk2010: Man, guys.

[10:53 AM] Witch Princess: It's so windy I can hear the wind blow against the house

[10:53 AM] RawkHawk2010: I love how this Direct kicked off as complete garbage but did nothing but get progressively better.

[10:53 AM] Witch Princess: Aaaaand now it's raining

[10:53 AM] Ryu: Sakurai warned us. He told us he didn't have many characters left, but they didn't listen

[10:53 AM] RawkHawk2010: u rite.

[10:54 AM] RawkHawk2010: And there are also only 103 stages but people didn't believe me. :shrug:

[10:54 AM] Ryu: The DLC will make up for it.

[10:54 AM] RawkHawk2010: I'm okay with Rex being a Mii costume, in all honesty.

[10:54 AM] Witch Princess: I thought there wasn't gonna be any DLC

[10:54 AM] RawkHawk2010: Because that looked exactly like him.

[10:54 AM] Witch Princess: What was I thinking

[10:54 AM] Witch Princess: Lol

[10:55 AM] RawkHawk2010: Even Tennis had DLC, so I was pretty convinced this would.

[10:55 AM] Witch Princess: Maybe Wright for DLC?

[10:56 AM] RawkHawk2010: I'm so glad there's such a big single-player component.

[10:56 AM] Witch Princess: Yeah that looks good

[10:56 AM] Ryu: I will play the plant

[10:57 AM] Witch Princess: Incnineroar looks op

[10:57 AM] Witch Princess: *Incineroar

[10:59 AM] RawkHawk2010: Maybe Ace Attorney people are spirits.

[10:59 AM] Ryu: That Bayonetta stage isn't good for vertigo people

[10:59 AM] RawkHawk2010: Literally anyone can be a spirit, it seems. :open_mouth:

[10:59 AM] Witch Princess: Well if they get in the game somehow I'll be more happy

[11:00 AM] Witch Princess: But yeah, I'm satisfied

[11:01 AM] RawkHawk2010: ya

[11:01 AM] Ryu: Is Piranha Plant iconic?(edited)

[11:01 AM] RawkHawk2010: Yes.

[11:02 AM] Ryu: What if they had Goombella instead?

[11:02 AM] Witch Princess: I guess everyone thought they were trolling at first lol

[11:02 AM] Witch Princess: I mean I thought that

[11:03 AM] Witch Princess: And I guess almost everyone else here

[11:03 AM] Ryu: I thought it was a special mode where you played as minions

[11:04 AM] RawkHawk2010: For all we know Rawk Hawk is a Spirit.

[11:04 AM] Witch Princess: Sounds good to me(edited)

[11:04 AM] RawkHawk2010: I need to go back and watch all that because I only saw half those dudes.

[11:05 AM] Witch Princess: Shadow Peach is there

[11:05 AM] Witch Princess: So maybe you are there Rawk

[11:05 AM] RawkHawk2010: Kamek is almost certainly there.

[11:05 AM] RawkHawk2010: Ludwig and Wendy are already playable.

[11:06 AM] Witch Princess: Too bad Witch Princess isn't in the game

[11:06 AM] Witch Princess: Guess I'll just be a Mii

[11:06 AM] RawkHawk2010: lol

[11:06 AM] Ryu: Am I the only one still watching Treehouse? lol

[11:06 AM] RawkHawk2010: I am but I'm not paying an extreme amount of attention to it.(edited)

[11:07 AM] Witch Princess: It's on in the background for me

[11:07 AM] Witch Princess: I'm not looking at it either

[11:09 AM] Sooper Sekrit Agent Wendy: ^

[11:10 AM] RawkHawk2010: @Sooper Sekrit Agent Wendy Assuming you can acquire a capture card, I'm looking forward to the prospect of you streaming that World of Light mode.

[11:10 AM] RawkHawk2010: Or the Spirits stuff in general.

[11:11 AM] RawkHawk2010: Should be gud.

[11:11 AM] Witch Princess: Yesss

[11:11 AM] Witch Princess: I'd watch

[11:11 AM] Ryu: You get the Rex mii costume if you order the fighter pass(edited)

[11:12 AM] RawkHawk2010: This Direct appears to be love-it-or-hate-it big time.

[11:13 AM] RawkHawk2010: DK Vine hates it. :pikachu_lips:

[11:13 AM] Sooper Sekrit Agent Wendy: ha

[11:14 AM] Sooper Sekrit Agent Wendy: it isn't that bad

[11:14 AM] Sooper Sekrit Agent Wendy: now I'm done with that

[11:14 AM] Ryu: because they wanted Banjo

[11:14 AM] Sooper Sekrit Agent Wendy: lol obviously

[11:14 AM] RawkHawk2010: They also wanted Dixie.

[11:14 AM] RawkHawk2010: And she's a Spirit.

[11:14 AM] RawkHawk2010: so yeah

[11:14 AM] Ryu: I guess the Smash part is over

[11:14 AM] RawkHawk2010: But I care about characters outside of the mere idea that they're playable.

[11:15 AM] Witch Princess: Mia would be a good spirit

[11:15 AM] Witch Princess: Because she is one

[11:15 AM] Witch Princess: Plus it's Ace Attorney!


Post-Direct, KoopaTV is happy to confirm that Wendy has ordered a Nintendo Switch, and Kamek has repaired his flat tires. No one caught Ludwig taking an hour off work watching a Nintendo Direct on a work computer. (Or, if they did, he isn't aware of any consequences.) Both Rawk and Witch Princess are in good spirits... hm, maybe that isn't the right word to use.


This is possibly a better Direct, and a much better log, than the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate one in August.
It was actually the best Reaction Log of 2018.
