Do you think we will have the ultimate intro video?

Since the WiiU introduction video of the game was pretty lackluster to me (it was just the already revealed video with a mix of some CG shorts with some gameplay of the game), I was thinking about the introduction video of Smash Ultimate.. Do you think it will be just like the same video of characters revelation? Will it be a surprising entirely new video? Or just a mix like the WiiU?

I feel like it would be like the Wiiu one of I were to take a guess.

Unless they have a new subspace.

Why do people complain about 4's opening when Brawl's was a lot of Subspace cutscenes with gameplay?

Yeah, I also don't like Brawl's intro, specially the ending with the ship, that was not supposed to be a huge focus on a Smash game.
Anyway, I would like to see a great intro video. Don't need to have gameplay, we all know how the game is. I would like to see a great CG video of all characters fighting, it would be nice and epic.

Smash 4's opening cut scene was lacklustered. It showed constantly discontinuting footage at such a fast pace that it was hard to keep up at what was happening. The thing is though that when you have so many characters to show in a time limit of just under two minutes, coming up with an intro can be challenging. There's more wiggle room this time now that the time is just under three minutes but still there are a ton of characters to place.

I think something similar to what was seen at the E3 trailer without the fighter numbers would be a good fit for an intro.

Unless they just use the "Everyone is Here" trailer I can't see them doing something similar to smash 4 as there won't be nearly as many videos to use.

The most important part of the opening will be whether or not we'll hear Xander Mobus shouting "Super Smash Brothers... Ultimaaaaaaaate!"
