Crowd

This article or section may require a cleanup. The editor who added this tag believes this page should be cleaned up for the following reason: Add SSB and SSBM character cheers You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

Crowd Favorite occurs when voices can be heard cheering for characters during matches. This happens after the character has made a successful and damaging combo to the opponent, or when a character K.O.s two or more opponents with a strong attack. The crowd will often stop cheering once the player making the combo or the K.O.s is knocked out him/herself. The true cause of cheering is currently still under discussion, though it is generally agreed that the character must first be on at least 100% damage - discussion on the topic can be found here.

In Super Smash Bros., the crowd cheered in a similar way with characters. These cheers included claps and stomps.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee, the crowd had a special cheer for each character. Instead of only shouting the character's name, they added words like Boom or Go. The Japanese crowd was slightly different.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, it was basically the same as in Melee, but much more customized. For instance, the crowd will cheer "Pika Pika Pikachu!" instead of just "Pikachu! Pikachu!"

Hearing a Crowd Gasp

A crowd gasp is something that happens often in the Super Smash Bros. series. A crowd gasp consists of coming close to being knocked downwards off a stage, and either barely missing your recovery, or narrowly recovering.

To hear a crowd gasp, follow these steps:

1. Jump off a ledge;
2. Fall so far that your double jump brings you close to, but not connected with, the ledge;
3. Fall a little more and use your Up Special Move recovery, but make it a near miss.

You should then hear the crowd gasp. A much easier way of hearing a crowd gasp is to be edge-guarded against (provided you don't use an offensive Up Special Move and attack your opponent for possession of the ledge). Another way to do it is to get sent flying and grab a ledge (even if you weren't sent off of the stage, but that works only in Melee) In Brawl, the crowd will also gasp whenever Smash Ball appears.

Trivia

• Cheers can also be found in the Sound Test, and they are always the last of each character's sounds.
• The Japanese crowd cheer for Meta Knight is the same as the American cheer.
• Ike's cheer, "We Like Ike", is often associated with the presidential campaign of Dwight "Ike" Eisenhower.
• Luigi's cheer is shouted by only a few people, in reference to the fact he is often overshadowed by his brother and ignored by others.
• 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.
• In Japanese versions of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, King Dedede's crowd cheer is different - as he is not known as a "King" in Japan, his crowd cheer is "De - De - De -- De De De -- De - De - De - De - De - De - De!"
• Ness's cheer could be a reference to Giygas's "Ness, Ness, Ness..." speech from EarthBound.
