"Saber's Theme - Super Smash Bros. UItimate" is a high quality rip of "Saber's Theme" from Super Smash Bros. UItimate.

Joke

This is a video that shows the creation and circulation by the ripper of a hoax chart purporting to show compiled data on the most wanted characters for Ultimate by country, with Saber from Fate/stay night as the most wanted in Japan, Geno from Super Mario RPG as the most wanted in the US, and Rayman as the most wanted in the EU. The video is set to the track "Panda & Kuma's Ending" from Tekken 5.

[The ripper posts a link on Discord to a Tweet by @PhantomArtifice purporting to show compiled data on the most wanted characters for Ultimate by country, and adds:]

Somehow I doubt his
This

I think they literally just made this up
No one posted anything about methodology at all
Numbers
Sample size

I could probably make a nice looking chart
And just say "data collected from popular smash communities"
And people wouldn't even look into it

The very first fucking thing they drill to you
When learning how to do research
Is
Cite your sources....
Actually fuck it
To prove a point I'm gonna make my own fancy image
Post it on reddit
I bet it will fucking blow up

I'l say its from 2chan
People will eat that shit up
I'll swap some picks out too I want it to be cleaely ridiculous but still just barely believable

[Time-lapse footage of the ripper making the chart in Photoshop is shown, followed by the original /v/ post the chart was first posted in, with the caption "(the original post)". Various posts that uncritically spread the chart are then shown: the GameFAQs message board, the Twitter accounts @ReimuForSmash and @opestarfall, Smashboards, r/SmashBrosUltimate. Special emphasis is drawn to a Twitter user responding to "what's 2ch?" with "Second round maybe?"]

[A caption reads "(somehow actually ends up on 2ch lol)" and the following English-subtitled 2chan posts are then shown:]

[News Flash] Ranking for most requested characters for Smash (ranked by region) is announced

Geno is such a popular character...

What's the source?

[link to the original /v/ post] Here

isn't 4chan a western version of 5ch?

If this is truly real, then the Japanese one is really embarrassing

Japan's ranking seems remarkably stupid

Saberfags are annoying, but really, quit it with this shit.

There is about 5% chance that Reimu can get in, but Saber is 0%

Joker? literally who?
The Hero? literally who?
Banjo Kazooie? literally who?
Terry? literally who?
Saber? WOOOW!!!
Why the hell are you guys choosing garbage?

[A Tweet by PushDustIn is shown, which expresses skepticism over the chart and asks for a proper source. Some of the Tweet's replies are also shown, which are also skeptical of the chart. One of the replies is from SiIvaGunner contributor Trofflesby: "I believe the source is "2-Chan"! (japanese version of 4-Chan)". This is followed by captions reading:]

Really, please just don't trust everything on the internet lol

Remember kids, always check sources and citations!

[The video concludes with this image and fades to black.]
