*Oddly, every time a character uses a [[grab]] in the trailer, they are shown to shield first, meaning that the actors are always using the shield+attack inputs instead of the grab button.

*While Sheik was revealed as a playable character, the trailer does not mention [[Zelda]], and the demo did not allow Sheik to be played. As a result, Zelda's playability was a secret until November 6, 2001, when her page was added to the ''Melee'' [[Smabura-Ken]].
