The '''crowd''', referred to as '''Publicity''' in the {{SSBM|debug menu}} of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', is a group of unseen people that can be heard during matches in all games of the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series.

==Causes of cheering==
==Causes of cheering==
The crowd can occasionally be heard cheering by shouting the name of a character that is used by a human player. The cause of cheering, however, is not entirely known; common trends include having high [[damage]] and doing something significant, such as [[KO]]ing multiple opponents at once, or falling behind considerably during the course of a match. Every [[character]] has a unique cheer chant in each of the ''Smash Bros.'' games.
{{incomplete|When does it stop in Ultimate?}}
The crowd can occasionally be heard cheering by shouting the name of a [[character]] that is used by a human player. The cause of cheering, however, is not entirely known; common trends include having high [[damage]], the start of the match after the [[announcer]] gives the "GO!" signal, and doing something significant, such as [[KO]]ing multiple opponents at once, or falling behind considerably during the course of a match. Every character has a unique cheer chant in each of the ''Smash Bros.'' games.


In addition to chants, the crowd can also vocalize during the match to a variety of events. In the original game, if a player can just make it back to the [[stage]], after being [[knockback|knocked]] far away from the stage, the crowd will cheer for the player. The crowd also cheers if {{SSB|Ness}} absorbs a projectile with [[PSI Magnet]], as well as if a character hits multiple characters or lands a powerful hit. Since ''Melee'', the crowd will gasp if the player gets close to the ledge after getting knocked off; they will also cheer loudly if the player hits multiple opponents with a powerful attack. In addition, in ''Melee'' the crowd cheers the player if they complete the [[Target Test]], complete an [[Event Match]] or the [[Race to the Finish]]. However, they will groan should the player fail at any of these games. In ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', the crowd will also gasp whenever a [[Smash Ball]] or legendary [[Poké Ball|Pokémon]] appears, with the exception of [[Latias and Latios]]. In ''SSB4'', the crowd will groan if a player finishes with no points in [[Home-Run Contest]] or [[Target Blast]]. If [[Sudden Death]] occurs, then the crowd will be silent during this situation.

In addition, in ''Melee'', the crowd cheers the player if they complete the [[Target Test]], an [[Event Match]] or the {{SSBM|Race to the Finish}}. However, they will groan should the player fail at any of these games. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the crowd will also gasp whenever a [[Smash Ball]] or Legendary [[Poké Ball|Pokémon]] appears (only in Brawl), with the exception of [[Latias and Latios]]. In ''SSB4'', the crowd will groan if a player finishes with no points in the [[Home-Run Contest]] or [[Target Blast]]. In ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', the crowd will be silent during [[Sudden Death]].


Despite their presence, the crowd has no effect on gameplay. A sole exception exists in the [[Bonus]] mode of ''Melee''; if the player earns the "Crowd Favorite" bonus from getting the crowd to cheer for them, or the "Master of Suspense" bonus from causing the crowd to gasp at them at least three times in one minute, they will earn 2500 points from each.
Despite their presence, the crowd has no effect on gameplay outside of the [[Bonus (mode)|Bonus mode]] of ''Melee'': if the player earns the "Crowd Favorite" bonus from getting the crowd to cheer for them or the "Master of Suspense" bonus from causing the crowd to gasp at least three times in one minute, they will earn 2500 points from each.


Of further note, in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', the crowd seems to "disappear" after a certain point is reached in some of the single player modes. In ''Melee'', the crowd disappears starting at [[Race to the Finish]] and at Stage 12: Final Destination in the [[Adventure Mode]]. In ''Brawl'', the crowd disappears during the fight against {{SSBB|Master Hand}}, and is only heard when certain stages are cleared in the [[Subspace Emissary]].

In ''SSB4'', the crowd disappears during the fight against {{SSB4|Master Hand}} and, if applicable, {{SSB4|Crazy Hand}} and [[Master Core]].


Certain characters have noticeably different names in Japan (such as [[Jigglypuff]] as ''Purin'' and [[R.O.B.]] as ''Robot''); their names are adjusted accordingly in the cheer.
Strangely, the character-specific crowd cheers can actually be heard in Training Mode in ''SSB4'', but not in other ''Smash Bros.'' titles.


==Crowd chants==
In ''Smash 64'' and ''Melee'', only an English and a Japanese crowd are available. Starting from ''Brawl'', crowd cheers are performed in each language the [[announcer]] is also voiced in, and are appropriately localized using the names of the characters in each language. Certain cheers might also use entire phrases or language-specific puns and cultural references.

|-
*In ''Melee'', Bill Trinen, Tim O'Leary, and Nate Bihldorff, who worked on the localization of the game, are also credited for providing the voices of the crowd cheers. In other games, it is not mentioned at all who performed the crowd cheers.

==Trivia==
*{{SSBB|Ike}}'s cheer, "We Like Ike!", is a reference to catchphrase used in support of candidate [[wikipedia: Dwight Eisenhower|Dwight "Ike" Eisenhower]] in the [[wikipedia:United States presidential election, 1952|1952 US presidential elections]].
*{{SSBB|Snake}}'s cheer is a reference to Snake's death sequence from the ''Metal Gear Solid'' franchise, in which Otacon can be heard repeating Snake's name in the same manner as the crowd cheer; the phrase itself is also used in Snake's [[Smash Taunt]]s.
*{{SSBB|Meta Knight}}'s crowd cheer is the only crowd cheer to be unchanged from the the Japanese version to the American version of ''Brawl''.
*In ''Brawl'', the {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}}' cheer is different based on which climber is human-controlled. When playing as Nana, the cheer is the Back sound on the menu.
*In ''SSB4'', {{SSB4|Donkey Kong}}'s crowd cheer is a reference to the chorus of the {{s|dkwiki|DK Rap}} from ''{{s|dkwiki|Donkey Kong 64}}''.
*In ''SSB4'', {{SSB4|Ness}}'s English crowd cheer is a reference to the {{s|wikipedia|Super Nintendo Entertainment System}}, colloquially known as the Super NES or SNES, which itself is a reference to the fact that Ness's name is an anagram of SNES, and the "NES" part is often pronounced "ness".
*Ness' cheers in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' are probably a reference to his final battle against Giygas in ''EarthBound''; when Giygas was close to being overwhelmed, the only thing it could do was continuously repeat Ness' name.
*{{SSB4|Link}} and {{SSB4|Toon Link}} are the only characters in ''Smash 4'' who share the same cheer.
*In the Japanese version of ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', the chant for {{SSB4|Villager}} was believed to be the {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}}'s chant from ''[[Brawl]]'' ("Nana! Popo!") because of the sounding, but it was later found out to be "Mura no cho-cho", which means "The villagers - mayor".

The crowd, referred to as Publicity in the debug menu of Super Smash Bros. Melee, is a group of unseen people that can be heard during matches in all games of the Super Smash Bros. series.

Causes of cheering[edit]

An icon for denoting incomplete things.

The crowd can occasionally be heard cheering by shouting the name of a character that is used by a human player. The cause of cheering, however, is not entirely known; common trends include having high damage, the start of the match after the announcer gives the "GO!" signal, and doing something significant, such as KOing multiple opponents at once, or falling behind considerably during the course of a match. Every character has a unique cheer chant in each of the Smash Bros. games.

In addition to chants, the crowd can also vocalize during the match to a variety of events. In the original game, if a player can just make it back to the stage after being knocked far away from the stage, the crowd will cheer for the player. The crowd also cheers if Ness absorbs a projectile with PSI Magnet, as well as if a character hits multiple characters or lands a powerful hit. Since Melee, the crowd will gasp if the player gets close to the ledge after getting knocked off and cheer loudly if the player hits multiple opponents with a powerful attack. In addition, in Melee, the crowd cheers the player if they complete the Target Test, an Event Match or the Race to the Finish. However, they will groan should the player fail at any of these games. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. 4, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the crowd will also gasp whenever a Smash Ball or Legendary Pokémon appears (only in Brawl), with the exception of Latias and Latios. In SSB4, the crowd will groan if a player finishes with no points in the Home-Run Contest or Target Blast. In Melee and Brawl, the crowd will be silent during Sudden Death.

Despite their presence, the crowd has no effect on gameplay outside of the Bonus mode of Melee: if the player earns the "Crowd Favorite" bonus from getting the crowd to cheer for them or the "Master of Suspense" bonus from causing the crowd to gasp at least three times in one minute, they will earn 2500 points from each.

Of further note, the crowd seems to "disappear" after a certain point is reached in some of the singleplayer modes. In Melee, the crowd disappears starting at Race to the Finish and at Stage 12: Final Destination in the Adventure Mode. In Brawl, the crowd disappears during the fight against Master Hand, and is only heard when certain stages are cleared in the Subspace Emissary. In SSB4, the crowd disappears during the fight against Master Hand and, if applicable, Crazy Hand and Master Core.

Strangely, the character-specific crowd cheers can actually be heard in Training Mode in SSB4, but not in other Smash Bros. titles.

In Smash 64 and Melee, only an English and a Japanese crowd are available. Starting from Brawl, crowd cheers are performed in each language the announcer is also voiced in, and are appropriately localized using the names of the characters in each language. Certain cheers might also use entire phrases or language-specific puns and cultural references.

Crowd cheers[edit]

Trivia[edit]

  • In Melee, Bill Trinen, Tim O'Leary, and Nate Bihldorff, who worked on the localization of the game, are also credited for providing the voices of the crowd cheers. In other games, it is not mentioned at all who performed the crowd cheers.
  • In Melee, the crowd will always gasp if Peach performs an air dodge at the peak of her jump.
