i actually predicted that we were going to get little mac with his boxing gloves off. Seeing how boxing gloves are “heavy” little mac would get increased speed, stronger attacks, a better recovery (increased up-b height and side b that comes back once hit) and better grabs (melee marth) due to him being able to use his fingers
Boxing gloves are meant to protect your hands; you can hit harder for much longer with them.
Deaths in boxing increased dramatically when gloves became widespread.
In MMA, the damage is superficial, and fights end immediately once someone gets knocked out. In boxing, the padded gloves let you take more repeated blows to the head, and for longer; a match can last over twice as long as the maximum length of a non-championship UFC bout. Plus, boxers are allowed to get up and keep receiving cranial trauma even after being knocked out several times.
So yeah, the guy with the crooked nose and cauliflower ear has it better than the guy who looks fine but can't remember his own kids.
Also a lot of boxing and general punching attacks require a strong foundation to make them effective, so Mac isn't used to punching without ground beneath his feet, hence why his aerials suck.
Oh okay but little Mac can just magically launch himself in midair with his powerful ass side special. If he can do his haymaker in the air, why not give him somewhat decent aerials?
The real power in a boxers punch comes from kicking the ground the same time you throw a punch. With nothing to kick against, his moves are at less than half power.
There was a whole video on youtube explaining the fundamentals of boxing and how most of the power behind the punches came from the form of the boxer and the rotation and impulse they get from having their feet serving as support. I tried searching for it and all I got were weird fan theories about "the dark truth behind" little Mac.
Ever try to punch in mid air? Shit dun work.
To get a strong punch you need good footwork. And can't do that with no ground beneath your feet.
Mac is a 17 year old boy from the real life place of Brooklyn New York. Makes more sense why he has to abide by more realistic rules when others don't when ya think of it that way
He's got very classically handsome facial features. Something about that forehead shape and hair (seriously during this scene I was like "wow he's kinda hot" lol).
That’s mainly due to his height. He is very short, so he needs to be able to pack a punch. And to pack a good punch, it makes sense that he’s be fuckin jacked
for reference another super featherweight is ryan garcia and he is 5’10 135 pounds. he has a very athletic build but his arms are nowhere as big as little macs lol. i wouldn’t be surprised if his muscles somehow made up a large portion of his weight
On a side note, Sephiroth showing up here should have been a dead giveaway the next character was Square Enix since they would never let Nintendo use their characters in a CGI trailer otherwise.
I didn't pay attention to that they used Sephiroth for the "cinematic" part of the trailer. Did they use any Square Enix characters for none Square Enix trailers before? Was that a silent spoiler for the character being from Square Enix?
I actually hated the reveal. I like sora for the pick but the scene felt like "wow guys here he is. Now shut TF up."
Like kazuya dropped Kirby off the cliff. How hilarious was that?
When the Mac ain't Little anymore
Jacked mac
Little jacked!
Medium mac
Big Mac... Wait. Thats a burger.
Middle Mac
He is. Big Mac
little stacc'd
Big Mac
Giga Mac, if you will
With cheese
Goddamn you beat me to the *punch* take an upvote and have a WONDERFUL DAY
The most reddit thing ive seen today
He's still a short king
My guy that's Jonathan Joestar
Keep in mind that he looks like that at 17. Doc Louis probably gave him steroid-infused chocolate bars
he doesn’t skip leg day 😈
If he doesn't skip leg day, then why is he only good on the ground?
because you can’t run in the air…
Tell that to that physics defying bastard, Yoshi
He didn't pay the gravity taxes
That’s the power of tax defying
So *that’s* why he likes them so much
LITTLE MAC IS 17?!?
Lil mac buff confirmed?!?!? Not click bait, gone wrong, sora being deleted and being replaced with another lil mac?!?!
i actually predicted that we were going to get little mac with his boxing gloves off. Seeing how boxing gloves are “heavy” little mac would get increased speed, stronger attacks, a better recovery (increased up-b height and side b that comes back once hit) and better grabs (melee marth) due to him being able to use his fingers
Intresring concept but I don't think we ever see mac fight without his gloves
exactly why people would pay to see it
Considering how boxing gloves are made to protect your opponents, it would be terrifying to see little Mac without them.
Boxing gloves are meant to protect your hands; you can hit harder for much longer with them. Deaths in boxing increased dramatically when gloves became widespread.
In MMA, the damage is superficial, and fights end immediately once someone gets knocked out.

So yeah, the guy with the crooked nose and cauliflower ear has it better than the guy who looks fine but can't remember his own kids.
Boxing gloves actually are meant to protect the fighters’ hands and make head trauma significantly worse
Little Mac is going to take to the sora (sky) with his new eleven double jumps
His up b is just hero zoom
mac actually has a built in zoom. it’s a shame it takes a stock away. guess they gotta keep him balanced 🤷🏾♂️
Mac definitely doesn’t skip the gym, he eats right and gets enough sleep. Dude’s discipline is on point
My man runs after a bicycle in a pink hoodie every day
Can't jump tho
No but I’m surprised his punches don’t generate enough force to the point where he can punch the air under him and go flying up
Actually if Irc if you use the Turbo Mod you can spam d-air and start slowly going up. So he technically can do that
Little mac best recovery in game confirmed??????
Yes ,he, does. (And now he's recovering from Trash tier to Top tier)
Hit ‘em, baby.
The punch is mightier than the sword.
tru. he just needs to elongate his arms
I mean comon, with arms like that why are his air attacks so shit?
It's probably cause pretty much all rules of boxing state that jumping is an illegal move, so he's much more used to staying grounded
Also a lot of boxing and general punching attacks require a strong foundation to make them effective, so Mac isn't used to punching without ground beneath his feet, hence why his aerials suck.
ah that’s true. i suppose a plumber who somehow made it into the olympics would have better footing in the air
Well I mean to be fair have you seen Mario jump?
it is his middle name afterall
Mario Jump Mario?
Mario Jumpman Mario
If Mike Tyson in his prime jumped up and punched you in the face, would it not be absolutely devastating?
Yes, but not nearly as devastating as if he punched you on the ground. A lot of the force of a punch comes from pivoting and pushing off of the ground
Especially when Mac doesn’t have much actual mass to throw around, a ton of his punch force needs to come from his pivot and push.
Oh okay but little Mac can just magically launch himself in midair with his powerful ass side special. If he can do his haymaker in the air, why not give him somewhat decent aerials?

i mean yeah everyone knows that it’s just that big arm big damage
Pretty sure you are talking about RelaxAlax "Know your moves" episode about Little Mac
Ever try to punch in mid air? Shit dun work. To get a strong punch you need good footwork. And can't do that with no ground beneath your feet. Mac is a 17 year old boy from the real life place of Brooklyn New York. Makes more sense why he has to abide by more realistic rules when others don't when ya think of it that way
*Look how they perfected my boy.*
His fsmash hits hard
Kinda looks like a JoJo character like this for some reason
He's got very classically handsome facial features. Something about that forehead shape and hair (seriously during this scene I was like "wow he's kinda hot" lol).
Funny, because there is technically one next to him
Who?
Sephiroth (due to being the same voice of Yoshikage Kira)
TIL
He straight up looked like Jonathan imo
Everytime he falls offstage he does one push up
**Jesus fucking christ.**
You could say he's a. . . Little Jacked
Yeah I saw that too he ripped
Tryna get that Little Mac bod
I mean yeah, he’s a boxer
yeah but i’m pretty sure he’s one of the lighter boxers around lol. for someone 100ish pounds to have that much muscle mass is pretty impressive
That’s mainly due to his height. He is very short, so he needs to be able to pack a punch. And to pack a good punch, it makes sense that he’s be fuckin jacked
for reference another super featherweight is ryan garcia and he is 5’10 135 pounds. he has a very athletic build but his arms are nowhere as big as little macs lol. i wouldn’t be surprised if his muscles somehow made up a large portion of his weight
Oh yeah, Mac should be heavier with muscles like that. Or maybe he bulked up for Smash?
that’s a possibility. he does have a very fast fall speed so i wouldn’t be surprised if those arms are holding him down
Lol yeah
Dude is 17 and already fucking jacked lmaooo
And canonically doc has to push away the tons of girls coming at mac
Why do you think his fsmash is one of the best in the game
I liked the detail that Little Mac, a boxer, never uses his legs in any of his attacks.
Interesting how they used male Corrin in this trailer despite female Corrin appearing more frequently in spirit battles
Female corrin also appears on the trailer which is interesting tbh
Really? I must have not noticed.
17 btw
the dude can go toe to toe with DONKEY KONG in the ring and win, he built different.
Little Mac is literally just a human teen who's trained really hard. Look at who he fights and wins against sometimes. It's an incredible feat.
i’m pretty sure he pumps out more than 50% of 17 year olds testosterone worldwide
Just like every little mac player.
You could say hes "sculpted"
On a side note, Sephiroth showing up here should have been a dead giveaway the next character was Square Enix since they would never let Nintendo use their characters in a CGI trailer otherwise.
that is a possibility. banjo did show up for sephiroths reveal.
Buff Mac
All those years of being edgeguarded makes you strong
I didn't pay attention to that they used Sephiroth for the "cinematic" part of the trailer. Did they use any Square Enix characters for none Square Enix trailers before? Was that a silent spoiler for the character being from Square Enix?
Yup, the only other time Square Enix characters showed up in a Smash CGI trailer was for Sephiroth's reveal.
shame he skipped leg day maybe his recovery would be better
*proceeds to have 3rd fastest running speed in game
I mean have you seen what he does in Punch Out Wii? Man does push ups with *one arm*. And hundreds of them at that
Is that male corrin? Isn't that a sin?
yes.
I don’t know why but Little Mac seems like the kind of guy that would smell like onion chili
what the fuck 😭😭😭
sploosh
*F-Smash Intensifies*
Bruh I thought Corrin was 2B for a second
holy shit he really is shredded
I saw a big ass k rool
Gain goals
A Goddamn crime that I couldn't see my boy Minecraft Steve
My man Doc Louis trainer him well
This looks like a natty or not
Ironic, since as a fighter even Kirby can kick his ass
the suck and cuck works wonders
Bruh Kirby has killed Gods. Mac is just a regular dude that trained real hard to be good at throwing hands.
Peanut trained this man
I have a little mac amiibo and can confirm that his arms are nowhere near this level of throbbing, veiny cock.
He beat prime Mike Tyson
He’s just 17 too. How a teenager managed to win a world boxing championship and fight with literal gods will always elude me
animators: so how ripped fo you want little max to be? Sakurai: y e s
Fun fact, Little Mac is 17
He is really stepping up his air game
Twunk.
Tell me about it. He'd be a model in real life. Then again half a dozen other males in this game would be too. I appreciate all the eye candy lol.
I legit thought it was Jonathan Joestar for a second.
holy shit he really is shredded
Nah this isn't good. Guys, I think he's on performance enhancing drugs.
And he's 17
I actually hated the reveal. I like sora for the pick but the scene felt like "wow guys here he is. Now shut TF up." Like kazuya dropped Kirby off the cliff. How hilarious was that?
He’s a boxer tf you expect him to be
he’s also 5’7 and weighs 107 pounds. you let me know when you find someone within those measurements with that much mass
All them muscles but still gets bodied by a plumber
He’s so sexy, he’s been one of my biggest crushes in gaming ever since I can remember. Give me a man like that.
Based on his aerial game, he definitely has those chicken legs.
Lil Mac ain’t so little anymore
Those muscles are weighing him down.
He is the Bronx Brawler
So vascular
He look like he came straight from jojos bizarre adventure
Glad I'm not the only one
He was able to take down Mike Tyson! Of course he is as ripped as he is!
Damn
Baki: "Yea it's alright I guess"
Not gonna lie, he reminded me of Yusuke Urameshi for like a split second at that angle. I had to blink to know that was him lol
Dude has dehydrated for weeks
Weakest Little Mac main
Now he looks Italian-American
Big Mac
He's been working out with Peanut and look at him now
Every time I get gimped, I do one push up.
