List of Super Smash Bros. 4 character trailers: Difference between revisions

{{cleanup|There is a ''vast ocean'' of wording, sentence structure, and formatting problems...}}

{{Incomplete|Focuses only on the English localized trailers; also needs to include info (e.g. speech) only present in the Japanese original trailers}}

All [[newcomer]]s and third-party characters, as well as a few [[veteran]]s, in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' were officially announced with trailers. These trailers consist of original animation, done predominantly with CGI, as well as gameplay clips that demonstrate a character's moveset. Each trailer begins with the sound of a sword being unsheathed and an animation of a fiery [[Smash logo]] blazing toward the camera. At some point in each trailer, the relevant character strikes a pose on a splash screen alongside their name and an introductory catchphrase, pun, or statement (e.g., "{{SSB4|Palutena}} Alights!" or "{{SSB4|Roy}} Seals the Deal!").

Mii Fighter's [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1K-WqQYw7w  trailer] begins with [[Satoru Iwata]] and [[Reggie Fils-Aimé]] in a black background. The pair stare each other down before Reggie lunges at Iwata, who swiftly kicks him away; before they begin exchanging rapid jabs, Iwata "absorbs" energy while striking a pose similar to a double hand chop, which is the pose made by presenters in [[Nintendo Direct]] when saying "direct." Following this, an over-the-top fistfight commences, culminating in Iwata pulling out a [[Wii U GamePad]] while Fils-Aimé does the same with a [[Classic Controller|Classic Controller Pro]] and proceed to play [[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]], using  [[Mii]]s of themselves to continue their conflict; while Reggie's Mii [[Mii Brawler (SSB4)|is only equipped with a pair of gloves]], Iwata's [[Mii Swordfighter (SSB4)|is armed with a longsword]]. The pair continue their duel, going from {{SSB4|Battlefield}}'s [[Ω Form]] to [[Palutena's Temple]], as both men trade glances as the bout progresses; ultimately, Reggie ends up triumphant while Iwata shoots him a look before pulling out an amiibo of [[Mario]] and placing it on the GamePad. The resulting in-game Mario exacts revenge on Reggie, handling every move his Mii self throws with ease before launching a [[Forward smash]] that sends the real Reggie flying. As Iwata's Mii celebrates alongside the amiibo Mario, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] himself arrives and explains the history behind getting Miis ready for Super Smash Bros.; after he explains it didn't feel right during the lifetime of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' to have Miis as playable fighters, he delivers some new video gameplay which shows off a number of Miis fighting official Nintendo characters. The Miis, he adds on, are grouped into three classes: {{SSB4|Mii Brawler}}s who fight using hand-to-hand combat, {{SSB4|Mii Swordfighter}}s who use swords and other bladed tools to do battle, and {{SSB4|Mii Gunner}}s who come equipped with arm cannons and a variety of projectiles. In addition, Mii Fighters are special in that their [[special move]]s, rather than be modified versions of their standard specials, have all-new options to use for all four special move types. To demonstrate some of the possibilities of the Mii Fighters, Mii versions of actual character suggestions posted by Miiverse users, with captions such as "[[Wikipedia:Abraham Lincoln|Lincoln]] gets sworn in!," "{{s|wikipedia|Elijah Wood}} like to battle!," and "{{s|wikipedia|Ice-T}} pours it on!" (with the lattermost being replaced in the Japanese broadcast with Japanese comedian [[wikipedia:ja:有野晋哉|Shinya Arino]]). During this, Sakurai explains the reasoning behind adding Miis, stating that he gets countless amounts of requests and ideas for characters to join the roster, and concludes by saying that by using Miis, players can put their dream character into the roster. This trailer is not on the official ''Super Smash Bros.'' website, nor available for viewing in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''.
