I just did! I think it's odd for a ship that looks like a bird to be called 'fox,' even though I understand they are 'star fox' and therefore their mothership might want to reflect that.

then what about the Halberd

 

[SuperSah]

I decided I'm going to give you all impressions of the 3DS/Wii U games from a personal perspective when I play this week. All the impressions I have seen lean too far to the technical side, such as how this is laggy, how this is slow and whatever.

I'll give impressions based on how I feel, how fun the game is, the stages, the visuals and whatever makes the game "fun" to casuals and core players.

I just haven't really seen any impressions that focus on how people enjoyed the game other than how much landing lag something has, as valid as it is, it doesn't really cater to the whole audience of the game.

 

[Spinluck]

I hope we get the appropriate scale this time.

I liked the Melee version mostly due to the scenery, but we were robbed.

Brawl made it even smaller somehow.

 

[georly]

then what about the Halberd

At least the halberd has metaknight's face on it. The great fox has no semblance of a fox.

 

[OricWindstar]

I'm really hoping we have the Great Fox jumping to multiple planets and you fight atop it as it enters the atmospheres of different locales. I know it has an Assault focus, but we be cool for it to visit planets from various games.

 

[Enforced]

All the sudden the star fox Sector Z theme popped in my head after I seeing the today's pic.

Speaking of that, what our people's most wanted songs for this stage? I know it was in Brawl, but I always loved using this song and would love for it to make a comeback. That or a new remix of the SNES Corneria theme would be badass.

Thread 2 and 3 had no hype at all, smh.

That lull right after E3, was dreadful

A lot of ships don't look like their namesakes. You think every ship called "Queen Elizabeth" looks like the Queen of England? Or a ship called "Swift Deer" looks like game?

SNES corneria theme is one of my favorites ever

Oh yeah, that version of the theme is so sexy.

Agreed. It also fits the vibe of Smash really well.

Right, but when it kinda looks like some sort of bird, it's weird to see it called some other animal.

I have no problem w/ halberd not looking like a halberd, or anything of the sort. If metaknight's ship were called the 'Kirby' or 'King Dedede' and it looked like it does (w/ metaknight's mask in front), it'd be a bit weird.

Star Wolf > Star Fox

Star Wolf did get a pretty amazing theme in Assault. One of my favorites from all of the Star Fox soundtracks.

 

[Aβydoς]

Hopefully it's not a simple Corneria skin but it's a cruise stage.
Or maybe it could be a particular stage which has a different background every time you play it.

And how confusing would it be if there's like 20 ships of that type named after birds?
Plus I don't even see the bird shape. It looks like a big mothership to me.

 

[Cse]

Sector Z's still the best stage in the entire series.

I agree.

It's one of my all time favorite Smash stages.

That song was pretty much the entire reason I wanted Wolf to be playable in Brawl.

I got my wish, and that particular version, too!

 

[Professor Beef]

It doesn't look like a bird, though. It has a fox's head, along with some wings which is natural for a ship.

Watch it be a Corneria skin.

I'm probably extremely late on this, but has anyone posted this update on character customization? I just saw this on Facebook.

Here are some pics from the update:

 

[KHlover]

Me too, just a few weeks after E3

 

[Green Mamba]

Watch it be a Corneria skin.

It can't be a simple Corneria skin because the Star Fox Assault Great Fox lacks a tail portion, which changes the stage quite a bit.

 

[emb]

Watch it be a Corneria skin.

I hope we do get to watch it turn out to be the best case scenario.

It can't be a simple Corneria skin because the Star Fox Assault Great Fox lacks a tail portion, which changes the stage quite a bit.

I was wondering about that; thought it was just hidden by the wing. This sounds cool too!

 

[Muzy72]

So when can we expect Famitsu to leak? Hoping Palutena's standard moveset gets fully detailed.

 

[El Sloth]

What does it matter. If you had a big bitching spaceship, then why wouldn't you name it after yourself.

Great Beef

[Cse]

At 11 newcomers, I'm sure there'll also be much more to come. I'd assume there's a couple left for trailers pre-launch, and a few more left in as unlockables.

I'm still putting stock in the Gematsu leak, especially after what Sakurai said regarding his decisions for Lucina and Robin.

I'm guessing there are 2 newcomers remaining - Shulk and Marshal.

Depends on whether you consider since E3 extremely late or not.

[Zubz]

Probably early next month, but I doubt anything beyond the basic gist of Palutena's moveset will be revealed, if even that; when they supposedly were gonna give the Brawl roster, they literally just took 80% of what was on the Dojo character-wise and crammed it into an article.

I don't see a fox's head at all. I totally see a beak and an eye.

Red is top half of beak, yellow is bottom beak, and green is eye.

Almost like an egret

Your team sounds like a group of high class intergalactic instigators. You in that war economy son? Are you space desparado?

Basically 2-4 characters per week
