Veterans Day 2025 Special: Great Fray Cutting Room Floor

Описание: This Veterans Day 2025 special came out just a day after the holiday—but I’ll let it slide, since my very first Veterans Day Great Fray Smash Bros. video also premiered on a Wednesday.

For this year, I wanted to spotlight the skipped content from past Veterans Day Great Fray tournaments. Think of this video as the Cutting Room Floor of the series—an idea I’ve been planning for over a year, and I’m glad to finally bring it to life.

Here’s what you’ll see:

2020 – Celebration of the first Veterans Day Tournament winner, who claimed the first spot in the Ultimate Smashfest. (Kid fighters included Ice Climbers, Pichu, and Young Link.) This leap connects to 2024, when all four champions make it to the Smashfest.

2021 – Sunset Shimmer celebrating the first female Veterans Day Tournament winner, securing the second spot in the Ultimate Smashfest.

2022 – A Super Sudden Death Battle between Duck Hunt Dog and Mii Gunner. Sadly, due to the 32-fighter limit, Mii Gunner was cut. Sunset Shimmer also celebrates the first Echo Fighter champion, who takes the third Smashfest spot.

2023 – Beth delivers a spot-on impression of Deborah Drakeford’s Fisheye voice. I had intended to use Beth for Fisheye instead of relying on VoiceMax Pro.

2024 – A full recap of the Ultimate Smashfest.

This video serves as both a recap and a tribute, capturing the moments that didn’t make it into the main uploads. Although this was intended to be my second-to-last video of 2025, this will be my final video of 2025. December was pretty busy, so my 2025 Channel News Video will be saved for 2026. As a result, this video will be my final video for 2025.
