"Now, in terms of good reveals, I think the best kinds of introductions to video games are surprising, exciting, and self-aware. Now, what do I mean by self-aware? What I mean by that is I love it when you can see how the developer knows what they have, they know what fans want, they know exactly how to unveil their product. Easy example with Smash Bros. Ultimate's roster reveal at E3 2018. They start off with the standard characters you'd expect to see, but then they get a little wilder. Sonic and Mewtwo revealed right from the start, alright. Ice Climbers are back! Alright, everybody expected that, good for them. Pokémon Trainer back after being cut from Smash 3DS and Wii U! Well, I didn't expect that.... The DLC newcomers from Smash 3DS and Wii U as well! Yeah, they're here too- Oh, Jesus Christ, Snake from Brawl! 'Everybody is here!' What does that mean? Fucking Pichu?!? They knew the exact order to reveal each character in. They knew Snake would garner a huge reaction, and then they followed up by confirming Pichu, the character that really made everybody realize 'Oh, they're really bringing back everybody.' I mean, Wolf was one of the final characters revealed in this trailer because he was one of the most requested DLC characters in Smash 3DS and Wii U."
