The opening of his reveal trailer features the Slayer walking towards a red {{SSBU|Bowser}} on [[Port Town Aero Dive]], and shooting him with a [[Charge Blast]]. The red Bowser represents a Baron of Hell, and the Charge Blast is a stand-in for the BFG9000, which is a large and powerful plasma-based weapon from the ''Doom'' franchise. The first-person perspective of this scene references how the franchise codified the first-person shooter genre. The Slayer is then shown fighting a giant {{SSBU|Dark Samus}} in her white costume on the [[Ω form]] of [[Shadow Moses Island]]. Dark Samus represents the Cyberdemon, a reccurring boss in the ''Doom'' games. Next the Slayer is shown fighting {{SSBU|Ganondorf}} on Battlefield's Ω form. The final shot of the trailer shows the Slayer on the [[Battlefield form]] of [[Find Mii]] lifting {{SSBU|Mario}} in the air, replicating the Nintendo Switch box art of ''Doom (2016)'', with Mario standing in for an imp. | The opening of his reveal trailer features the Slayer walking towards a red {{SSBU|Bowser}} on [[Port Town Aero Dive]], and shooting him with a [[Charge Blast]].
