Alright, I apologize for not posting in SO long as life has been busy, I suppose I faced a bit of writer's block and I guess I just had a bit of Brawltime! burnout...but I have a Sagwa trailer:
Sagwa Trailer
Ancient Treasures Call For Brawling!
After the Grand Finals and before the livestream is over
Host: Thank you all for watching the third PBS Kids Brawltime! Championship Circuit finale! We hope you had fun watching all these amazing players put their skills to the test of brawling it out! We have met all sorts of opponents and now...
Lionel then appears as a live puppet live on stage with Anthony Asbur reprising his role as him.
Lionel: Hey everybody! I heard that there was a tournament going on and I heard a lot of people use me in PBS Kids: Brawltime! helping me at the Brawltime party!
The crowd then would respond with cheers and all.
Lionel: Alrighttt!!!! Well, it seems that I have some news that me and some other members of the Brawltime party found some sort of ancient treasure that I want to show everyone and...
Lionel holds up the ancient treasure and Elmo then appears with his Muppeteer.
Elmo: Oh boy! Elmo is so happy to see his friend, Lionel! Say, where did Lionel find that treasure?
Lionel: Well, I found it in some sort of cave and there may be more in there? Why don't we go look Elmo?
Elmo: Ok, Elmo is ready for an adventure!
The puppets go away and then they go onto the screen in a Nintendo 64-esque style world based on 3D platformers for that era like a collectathon and Lionel and Elmo appear in 64bit style models. There are speech bubbles as well similar to games like
Banjo Kazooie and
Donkey Kong 64.
Lionel: Let's go explore a little, Elmo!
Elmo: Alright Lionel, let's go!!!!
We see them go through the world a little exploring and then they also encounter The Teletubbies, Ord, Letterman and Big Bird exploring as well. There are also speech bubbles as well on the bottom as well.
Teletubbies: Eh oh!!!!
Ord: Say, all of you found this dark, spooky cave as well?
Letterman: With my letter powers, we will be able to have some light instead of a fight in this cave!
Big Bird then looks at a golden statue he found.
Big Bird: I also found this statue of myself...there's other stuff here too!
Lionel: Well, let's keep looking!
They keep exploring and find treasures that would be seen in Sagwa's Story Mode chapter. However...Tinky Winky found some sort of green invite.
Elmo: Oh look! Elmo sees that Tinky Winky found some sort of green invite that Elmo remembers that he got a long time ago for the Brawltime Party! Elmo wonders who it is for!
The group of characters then sees some cat's eyes glow in the background. Then...in a little while, a familiar siamese cat pounces onto the characters.
The siamese cat: Hey...wait a second, that invite is for me?
Lionel looks at the cat.
Lionel: Wait a minute...no...it can't be! I know you...you are...
The siamese cat looks at everyone in a friendly matter.
The siamese cat: That's right cat boy! I am Sagwa and I am ready for this Brawltime Party I got invited to!
She says that while holding the invite.
Afterwards:
We then see Sagwa get into a pose and then we see an introduction screen pop up:
Introducing Sagwa! (Sagwa stands next to the text which is in the PBS Kids font while Announcer Bunny says "Sagwa!")
We then cut to footage of Sagwa first posing on a quick glimpse of The Cave of the Ancients stage and then we see her fight against Lionel and Elmo on the Busterfield Library stage with a remix of the
Sagwa the Chinese Siamese Cat theme.
Sagwa: It seems like this party has so many people to meet here! It is an honor!
We see her use various Light Moves on fighters such as her Light Neutral on Ord on Dragon Land, her Light Up on Ruff Ruffman on Ruffman's Stage Studio stage and her Light Down on Nature Cat on the Fred's Backyard and Nature Adventures stage. Therefore, we see both variants of the Light moves.
Then, we see comedically her use her Up Special on The Tarrytown Sky Parade stage.
We then see full footage of The Cave of The Ancients stage and Sagwa explain its gimmicks while fighting against Letterman, Big Bird and The Teletubbies.
Sagwa: This is an ancient cave.
Ord: It sure seems spooky...it reminds me of a cave I went into once in Dragon Land.
We see more fun footage of the stage.
Then, we see Sagwa with the Dongwa assist appear fighting against Barney with the BJ assist on The Treehouse stage.
Dongwa: Here I come Sagwa! I'm coming with you!
Sagwa: Here is my brother Dongwa, he sure knows how to fight!
We see Dongwa as an assist and his function.
Then, we see Lionel eat the Stinky Tofu item on the Once Upon a Restaurant stage with Sagwa and Arthur.
Lionel: Yum! What is that food? It's got some kind of smell to it!
Sagwa: It's Stinky Tofu! The chef makes it for my grandpa and me. It is quite delicious.
We then get some footage of Sagwa's Down Special with her using it on Molly, Betsy and WordGirl on the Denali Trading Post stage.
Sagwa: The Chinese spirits are here to assist me when in aid!
We see its super strong function on Chris on Zobooland.
Chris: Woah! That cat sure is strong!
Martin: Sagwa sure is one interesting feline! Wait till Zoboo hears about this!
Finally, we see Sagwa's Neutral Special in action as she shows off the Predatory Stance gimmick on various opponents on various stages.
Sagwa: I always know how to guard myself in danger! It's what cats do best!
Elmo: Elmo thinks Ms. Sagwa is so cool!
Big Bird: She sure can come to
Sesame Street someday.
We then cut to some other fun footage of Sagwa including:
- A small glimpse of footage of the boss battle in her Story Mode
- Her posing alongside Nature Cat with the Gilbert assist
- Her chasing Lionel with the Click the Mouse assist
- Her pouncing on Ord
Finally, after the last beat of the remix of Sagwa's theme, we see her added to the PBS Kids: Brawltime! logo alongside the other 32 fighters making the total number of fighters, 33!
After she gets added, we see the screen fade to black with the copyrights.
But then afterwards....we see Sagwa exploring the cave a little more.
Sagwa: Well, I guess it's time to head back home!
She then enters a portal until we see a hub world and then a logo pops up:
Sagwa: Cat of Nine Lives
This is a quick trailer showcasing footage of the game where we see Sagwa show off the hub world, a bit of a snow world, a cave-themed world, etc. in an old-school 3D platformer environment!
It ends with a "Coming Soon" screen with the modern-gen console logos on the bottom.
Then, we cut back to the host.
Host: Well, wasn't that amazing? Sagwa the Chinese Siamese Cat will be joining PBS Kids: Brawltime! as your next fighter for the second Learner's Pass. Also, she will be getting a new 3D platformer inspired by old-school collectathon games called Sagwa: Cat of Nine Lives. Now, before we go...take a look at this.
On the screen, it will show the Premium Legacy Skin for Sagwa on the screen based on the Cat of Nine Lives game.
Host: That's right! Sagwa will get her own Premium Legacy Skin based on
Sagwa: Cat of Nine Lives to help promote the game! If you have bought the second Learner's Pass as of now or are attending the Championship Circuit finale, you will get her Premium Legacy Skin for free! Otherrwise, the rest of you will have to pay $5.99 for this awesome Legacy Skin! There will be more details on this skin in our upcoming presentation video with other content that will come with Sagwa's update! We want to thank all of our players, Anthony Asbury and Ryan Dillon for helping us bring Sagwa to the Brawltime party! We hope to see all of you at next year's PBS Kids: Brawltime Championship Circuit and we hope all of you have a great night! Bye for now!
This trailer introduces:
- Sagwa as the 4th Learners Pass Vol. 2 fighter and her Predatory Stance gimmick
- The Cave of The Ancients Stage, its layout and hazards/gimmicks
- Dongwa as an assist and his function
- Stinky Tofu as an item and its function
- Sagwa having a Story Mode Chapter and a very small preview of it
- The hint at the Big Bird statue Easter Egg in the Story Mode chapter
- Hints at Lionel and The Teletubbies playing a role in Sagwa's Story Mode chapter
- First look at the new Sagwa 3D platformer Sagwa: Cat of Nine Lives
- Preview of Sagwa's Legacy Skin at the Championship Circuit finale
Notes:
- For the YouTube version of the trailer, it will start off with the "Ja-Na-na-Na, Doink, PBS Kids!" where the PBS Kids: Brawitime! logo appears with all 20 base roster characters, the two free bonus fighters, The Learner's Pass Vol. 1 fighters, Curious George, Nature Cat and The ClueFinders by it and it cuts to the beginning of the trailer with Lionel and Elmo in the cave.
- I thought it would be a fun idea to actually have live-action-style participation for a reveal trailer at a big event. Something a bit different for once.
- This was also the first time a Premium Legacy Skin would be revealed at the end of the Championship Circuit finale
- Big Bird, Ord, Letterman and Elmo being in the trailer is a reference to how Sesame Workshop helped with Sagwa the Chinese Siamese Cat.
- The trailer of course plays tribute to late 90s/early2000s 3D platformers that were collectathons like Banjo Kazooie, Donkey Kong 64, etc.
