*When mentioning the voice actor for Erdrick, he jokes that the King of Braves is voicing the Hero, referencing Guy Shishioh from ''The King of Braves GaoGaiGar'', whom Hiyama has also voiced. This is also a reference to the Japanese word 勇者 (Yūsha), which can be translated as both Hero and Brave. | *When mentioning the voice actor for Erdrick, he jokes that the King of Braves is voicing the Hero, referencing Guy Shishioh from ''The King of Braves GaoGaiGar'', whom Hiyama has also voiced.

Ultimate'' is for good boys and girls of many different ages". The statement quickly became memetic within the community, partly since it contradictorily does not account for characters who possess similarly revealing outfits, such as {{SSBU|Zero Suit Samus}} and {{SSBU|Bayonetta}}, as well as characters that come from a primarily M-rated franchise, such as {{SSBU|Snake}} and {{SSBU|Joker}}. | ||

*When talking about Sephiroth's [[Flare / Megaflare / Gigaflare|neutral special]], Sakurai states that Gigaflare cannot be used in midair since it takes too long to charge. However, in-game, if Sephiroth is in the air long enough and charges the move, it is shown the Gigaflare can be used in midair. | *When talking about Sephiroth's [[Flare / Megaflare / Gigaflare|neutral special]], Sakurai states that Gigaflare cannot be used in midair since it takes too long to charge.

*During the presentation, Sakurai demonstrates the technique of turning around, then quickly jumping and performing a [[back aerial]] attack. This is colloquially known among the competitive ''Smash'' [[community]] as the [[reverse aerial rush]], or "RAR." | |||
*During the presentation, Sakurai starts explaining the frame data of Sephiroth, particularly the startup of forward aerial and back aerial. Sakurai then stops himself, coyly explaining that he shouldn't be saying such things in public, as he is "just the guy who thought he wanted to make a fun party game," and will leave the small details to competitive [[smasher]]s. | |||
*During the presentation, Sakurai explains why the {{uv|Final Fantasy}} series previous only had two [[List of SSBU Music (Final Fantasy series)|music tracks]], as well as why some franchises have spotty representation in the ''Smash'' series if not are completely absent.

*At the beginning of the presentation, Sakurai jokes that a "voice from the heavens" told him to put a ''Tekken'' character in ''Smash''. In Japanese, this is a pun on how the name [[Nintendo]] features the kanji 天 (''ten''), which means "heaven", and is a reference to how Nintendo decides all of the DLC fighters for the game before Sakurai approves them. | *At the beginning of the presentation, Sakurai jokes that a "voice from the heavens" told him to put a ''Tekken'' character in ''Smash''.

*Much like Pyra and Mythra's presentation, the thumbnail for the North American presentation simply says, "Kazuya Joins the Battle!" rather than his trailer tagline ("Kazuya GETS READY FOR THE NEXT BATTLE!"), though this may be due to it being too long to put the entire caption on screen. | *Much like Pyra and Mythra's presentation, the thumbnail for the North American presentation simply says, "Kazuya Joins the Battle!" rather than his trailer tagline ("Kazuya GETS READY FOR THE NEXT BATTLE!"), though this may be due to it being too long to put the entire caption on screen. | ||

*Similarly to ''Mr. Sakurai Presents "Banjo & Kazooie"'', Sakurai does not detail all of Sora's moves in his dedicated moveset explanation segment (he intentionally did not show off his Final Smash so it could be seen later, but unintentionally forgot to show his dash attack, though it could later be seen during the demonstration).
