Fav character Mythra, but Banjo takes the cake for best reveal by far.

Sephiroth easily had the best reveal trailer in Smash history, but I don't think he's my favorite character of this bunch

Sans mii.

Though seriously, tossup between Joker and Sora with edge to Sora. Joker for how he was revealed and being a genuine out of fucking nowhere surprise while Sora's reveal was just all around feel good and fitting for the ultimate finale for this Smash

Banjo for me, but I got K. Rool in the main game and there was no topping that.

The Banjo trailer calling back to it was such an amazing moment.

Hero, then Pyra/Mythra, then Byleth for me.

I was so pumped when I heard that DQ theme start up.

Special nod to Mythra's reveal because at the time I couldn't even tell it was for Smash.

Like I had an initial thought that it's Smash but as the trailer went on I started changing to actual new Xenoblade 2 content of some sort.

My age may be showing but for me it was Sephiroth.
And while I have no attachment to Arms, I did like the way they handled Min Min.

I don't know why but Kazuya hurling all those Nintendo characters into a volcano was particularly funny to me.

announcing it was an ARMS character months before the actual reveal probably helped

Lot of theories around who it would be at the time, most if not all ruling out Spring Man due to Assist Trophy. Theories that we'd be getting multiple characters since they kinda control the same, but ultimately I was glad they picked Min Min since she's top tier. Would've also been cool with Ribbon Girl.

really thankful we didn't get Spring Man because Spring Man is trash, thank you Assist Trophy

For me it was like this except I had never seen Xenoblade 2 and it looked like crap at the time.

I'm going with Joker because it got me into Persona and the way they did it by "interrupting" the Game Awards was just plain cool.

It's tempting to linger in this moment, while every possibility still exists. But unless collapsed by an observer, they will never be more than possibilities.

Banjo > Sephiroth > Joker >= Sora >= Kazuya > Terry > Hero >>> Min Min > Steve/Alex >= Pyra/Mythra > Plant > Byleth

Banjo gets the top spot because his reveal meant more since Banjo-Kazooie had been dead for over a decade by that point whereas the others still had recent releases to their name.

I wouldn't judge anyone for picking any of these, other than Piranha Plant or Byleth. They're all great in their own way.

Joker was a massive surprise and set the tone early.
Hero was from the most popular game series ever.
Banjo's trailer invoked the perfect Rare nostalgia and showed off his perfect new design.
Terry's was such a perfect love letter to the SNK franchise.
Min Min's reveal was stylish af.
Steve's trailer was such a splendid troll job and perfectly encapsulated how goofy his inclusion was.
Sephiroth did a good job being Sephiroth.
Pyra's was easily the biggest swerve into being a Smash trailer.
Kazuya's was the funniest trailer, just casually murdering the entire roster.
And Sora's trailer wasn't the best or flashiest, but just the theatrics of showing that this marks the end of development for this game, and the fact that it was SORA were definitely both a big deal.

It's honestly really hard for me to pick just one. I'm torn between Joker, Banjo, and Kazuya (who I didn't even actually buy), but I'm gonna go with Joker, just for the absolute chaos it provided.

Joker and Banjo come close, but it's still Byleth for me. I was very pleased with the Three Houses rep, even if it wasn't the exact character I would have chosen.

Piranha Plant.

It was partly due to circumstance. He was revealed at the end of the final direct before the game release. At the time, the Grinch leak was HUGE, and it had just been deconfirmed, and we were left with Incineroar and Ken as the only reveals in that direct. Then near the end, Sakurai teases us with "something", and it wasn't even clear what it was, but it definitely didn't seem like it was going to be for a fighter. The trailer starts, and out of nowhere, Piranha Plant is a playable fighter. Besides us not expecting a fighter reveal, layering on the complete out of left field choice that it was a Piranha Plant was so baffling and it took people a bit to process what just happened. It blew my mind in the best way, and saved that direct, as well as set a precedent for how the life of Smash DLC would go. It was the absolute best one for Ultimate.

Joker. Not only is he easily my favorite character of the bunch, but his reveal was hype as heck. And it wasn't even a Smash/Nintendo specific event so we didn't

Hero is up there just because he ended up being really fun to play, but Banjo and Sephiroth are far above the rest

I initially had Min Min instead of PP but I figured Piranha was unique enough that he'd get votes, I didn't realise the Min Min reveal had so much support! And I've only ever seen people be very hostile towards the Byleth reveal, even those who like the character. Apologies. Also Sans is probs a legit option for this too given how big a deal that was for a lot of people.

But Min Min was really good, and deserved the spot more than PP

Seph/Banjo/Joker staying well ahead of the others! I'll be honest, I didn't think Sephiroth's trailer was that amazing. It was a neat hype reveal for sure, but I didn't really feel a great amount of detail or love in there, could just have been a reveal for any game's bad guy. The music carries the trailer >_> Compared to something like Banjo's with all the callbacks it doesn't really stand out to me.

Um, I'm by no means a big Sephiroth fan, but his trailer was possibly the most referential and reverential of the lot. Almost every scene was a callback to FF7 or Advent Children in some way, you can tell Sakurai really wanted to do him justice.
