Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Needs Fortnite Characters, According to YouTuber’s Fan Trailer
A popular YouTuber, LaffenGas, has created a fan trailer imagining the addition of Fortnite characters to the hit game Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on Nintendo Switch. The video, which was published yesterday, showcases potential new characters and stages.
LaffenGas’s Fan Trailer
In the trailer, the character of The Ice King is featured finding the character after a plane crash. The video highlights the King’s abilities and announces his inclusion in the new Smash title. Other Fortnite characters such as Sgt. Winter, Zenith, Lynx, Onesie, and Trog are also introduced in a similar fashion. The trailer concludes with a zoomed-out view of an imagined new Smash stage.
Using Emotes to Showcase Character Play Styles
While traditional Smash trailers showcase a character’s abilities and combos, LaffenGas took a different approach. The video uses emotes to demonstrate each character’s play style, allowing viewers to visualize how the characters would behave in the game.
Behind the Scenes
LaffenGas shared some insights into the creation process on his YouTube channel. He recorded the trailer with the assistance of two friends and utilized a Smash template for the announcements. The video indicates that the footage may have been captured in both Fortnite’s Playground and the new Creative sandbox mode.
LaffenGas’s previous work, including his season seven recap movie, “The Story So Far,” has gained recognition from the community. This latest fan trailer has further fueled the desire for a crossover between Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Fortnite.
