As the title suggests, how would a smash switch E3 trailer play out? how would you generate hype for it?

This is the best idea I ever readThey replay the Inkling trailer in its entirety. The audience is disappointed and confused in real life. Fade to black. Then the camera zooms out. It isn't over. It turns out a character is watching the entire trailer on tv. They trash talk everyone's wardrobe for some reason. Cue sassy pop music. The character then gets up and catwalks onto the stage. Savvy Stylist for Smash. Cue gameplay footage of The Stylist beating on the roster. Collective WTF from the audience.
A girl can dream, damn it!
Epic cgi, new theme playing, like bunch of gets and inklings fighting, ones newcomer shows up, a little gameplay, cuts back to cg, everyone looks to the fire in the sky, Ridley, then it cuts to gameplay, trailer ends, challenger approaching, some 3rd party character trailer players.
I was going to post my thoughts, but this turned out oddly like what I was going to say to begin with. It gets a bunch of veterans out of the way, along with an obvious choice (Inkling and Spring Man), a long-awaited choice (Ridley), and a crazy third party pick to get people talking (Doomguy). The introduction in particular (picking up where the previous trailer left off and having the veterans charge forward) is exactly how I was thinking it would start.My take on the trailer:
Trailer begins with the Inklings staring at the burning Smash logo, with some Smash fighters standing in front. After a few tense moments, Mario and Link lead the charge, with Bowser, DK, Wario, Yoshi, Pikachu, Kirby, Shulk, Zelda, Fox, Samus, Pit, Zelda and Sheik following close behind. Inkling girl recovers from her shock before nodding towards the Inkling boy, who follows her into battle. The Inklings engage in battle before it cuts to gameplay of the Inklings. Cuts back to the CGI: the Inklings slide along the ground before Bowser smashes his shell on them. Before he could follow up his attack, a large red glove on a blue spring smashes into his face before another hits him in the gut. The Inklings turn around and find Spring Man behind them, who grins and nods at the Turf Warriors before it cuts to Spring Man gameplay. It cuts back to the CGI again with Samus aiming her blaster before Ridley swoops in, grabs the Bounty Huntress and throws her into the squid kids and the stretchy boxer. Cuts to Ridley gameplay before cutting back. The Inklings, Spring Man and Samus glare at the space dragon before they charge towards him as Ridley roars. They clash once more before the Smash logo appears. Suddenly, the logo starts to glow red and crackle with an evil energy, the glow intensifying before the logo explodes into a large maelstrom of evil. The currently revealed Smash characters gaze upon it with shock for a moment before Link and Mario motion to show they see something inside: a humanoid figure. The humanoid figure notices them and charges out with the speed of a raging bull before it leaves the maelstrom. Just as it leaves, the camera slows down to reveal that it is the legendary Doom Slayer, who is immediately surrounded with the Smash fighters who try to take him out before it cuts to gameplay. It then cuts back to the CGI to show Doom Slayer punting Kirby away like a soccer ball back into the crowd before he takes out the infamous BFG. He charges the massive cannon before the screen flashes with a bright green energy, which fades away to reveal the Smash logo once more.
Hey, thanks, man! Appreciate your feedback!I was going to post my thoughts, but this turned out oddly like what I was going to say to begin with. It gets a bunch of veterans out of the way, along with an obvious choice (Inkling), a long-awaited choice (Ridley), and a crazy third party pick to get people talking (Doomguy).

Damn literally got hyped just by reading this lol. Only in our dreams man, in our dreams..."All-Stars, come forth!"
Three pillars rise up in front of the Smash Brothers, and their cross-multiverse counterparts step forth, one by one.
Kratos from God of War, Ratchet from Ratchet and Clank, and Aloy from Horizon: Zero Dawn, all stand face to face with Pit, Fox and Link. They enter their battle stances.
Fade through white to game play footage of a 3v3 tag-team match up between the representatives of Nintendo and the representatives of PlayStation.
New mechanics such as assist attacks, super meters and three levels of Final Smases are presented, however there are plenty of ringout KOs and Level 1 Final Smashes being countered.
Next is a montage of singleplayer content exclusively from the main Classic mode, showing the player fighting classic low level enemies, engaging in stacked battles, using classic items like the Super Mushroom, the Aku Aku mask, the Smart Bomb and even the Groovitron, as well as Assist Trophies from Nintendo and PlayStation franchises, all culminating in a brief snippet of an amusing rival cutscene and an introduction to the sight of Master Hand and Crazy Hand teaming up with Polygon Man!
Fade to white, and a series of Nintendo franchise logos and PlayStation franchise logos clash together in rapid succession until the final set of logos, Super Smash Bros and PlayStation AllStars, fuse together, filling the screen with white.
Then the logo for the game assembles:
SUPERAnd that's what I really wish I could see in the next Super Smash Bros. Now, the logical side of me knows that this is 100% NOT going to happen again it'll be a cold day in hell before you can convince either company to share their characters. Goddamnit, though, I just wanna see Fox vs. Ratchet. Or Samus vs. Sir Daniel. Or Sora vs. Mewtwo. Seriously, I would be stupid hyped if this actually happens.
