Cloud Reveal in Smash Bros Reactions

I like max's the most so far. Just because he was still weirded out that cloud was in explorer's on the 3ds and then this happens and he completely loses it lol

Max is a HUGE FF7 fan and recently completed an FF7 playthrough on twitch, so it's clear he knew it was coming when it started.

I'm not much of an FF7 guy, but how they did the trailer INSTANTLY made me think FF7
 
Just got back from work and I haven't been paying attention to any news all day. It took me well over a minute of watching that video to before I realized that it was real. I had the volume pretty low and I was kind of half watching it but I kept waiting for it to be fake and waiting and waiting and then wow what a surprise it's actually real.

Well, there's not really a connection with Cloud and Nintendo lol. That's what makes Maximilian Dood's reaction genuine. He knew what it was from the very beginning.

I pretty much reacted the same way internally. The Omnislash cut at the very end was incredible. Was half expecting Sephiroth to just show up lol.

Sephiroth should be an assist trophy at least, make it happen Sakurai!
 
If you follow gaming in any capacity, or love Smash Bros, this news probably popped up on your feed.

You are telling me you waited to get a camera set up, hit the record button, and then watched the damn video all surprised like?

they watched the direct live and streamed it.
 
it's weird how youtube personalities all pretend like they are the biggest fan in the world of every nostalgia cash in that comes around.

"Fans" going crazy about Cloud and they don't recognize the initial tune. Ok.

this shit too. that guy had no idea what was happening. very strange video when you take that into account--like watching a guy fake a seizure lol
 
I hate all of them.


Why is it so hard to keep their excitement to themselves? It's pathetic and egotistical to need validation for your excitement.

No, this post is pa-you know where I'm going with this


Where do you even get the idea that these people post these videos for validation?

So they hit the record button with everything pre-set up for the very purpose of making a reaction video.

I mean, I guess if you like that sort of thing, but I personally would rather watch someone analyzing the video ala Vesper Arcade.

If that makes me an old man, that's fine.

Really Really Exciting Member!
The reaction in the OP is way too over the top, to the point it's cringing.

Maximilian though is great. Almost as good as the one he made when the FF7 port(not the remake) was announced a year ago.

Max's reaction was the best. Dude LOVES FF7 just as much as he loves fighting games. His reaction was from the heart.

Reaction videos aren't my thing either but this is a pretty rude and ignorant thing to say.

People find them fun. They get hyped by announcements and these videos are a way to share that excitement with others. I don't really like them but I think it's obvious why others do.

I will say that some of them are extremely annoying though. I can't stand Etika.

A video like that would not be out so quick.

They were already streaming themselves watching, they just cut the part where they reacted.
 
I think the reactions are fantastic, especially Max.

And yes, it seems very few people watching a Nintendo Direct immediately recognized the now and always to be famous stars in the sky beginning to FF7.

That's the moment when I was legit shook, and very confused as to what was about to come. Plus, on the North American stream, it didn't identify it as Smash Bros. first like it appears to have done on other streams.

I don't think it really has anything to do with validation.

People express things in different ways, I don't see the big deal. Let them do as they like.
 
Gotta love the hate in these reaction threads. I find it fun to watch people excitement. Etika is clearly not the standard though, he's just NUTS.

Buncha fucking grinches in this thread

Yeah seriously... Was not expecting that when I clicked in the thread, but I can't say I am surprised...

These videos are hilarious, and hilarious that some of you guys think they recorded themselves watching the video a second time... This is all on a live stream ya dinguses

People were going crazy over this?

I heard the music play and I thought it was the PC version being ported to Wii U or 3Ds.

Once Smash appeared all I said was cool... I guess.

Max's 5 second thing of plain face to wide eyed to fuck you was really great. Hearing that music and not knowing what the fuck was going for 5 seconds was amazing for myself.
