Countdown''' was an event hosted by the Japanese ''Super Smash Bros.'' Twitter account, [https://twitter.com/SmashBrosJP @SmashBrosJP], which featured other promotional Twitter accounts counting down to the release date of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. The event started on November 27th, 2018, ten days away from the game's release date, and lasted up until the actual release date, December 7th. In total, 22 accounts (including @SmashBrosJP itself) were involved in the event, and each posted a piece of promotional material, such as a screenshot or an illustration. The concept is similar to the [[List of Super Smash Bros. character posters|character posters]] from the previous game, which featured franchise artists illustrating pieces for ''Smash Bros.''; however, the countdown was not limited to newcomers, unlike the posters. | ||
