I want part of the next direct to focus on alt costumes. I feel like there's a gold mine hidden here that we don't even realize and there's this huge collection of exciting new costumes we have no idea even exist.

Also end the segment with a surprise Doctor Mario Costume

 

[The Bankslammer]

KIRBY IS HUNGRY. HE'S LAUNCHED AN ATTACK ON MOUNT DEDEDE. JOIN THE FIGHT.

*green greens plays*

 

[BGBW]

Brawl has the god teir bramble blast remix.

Too OC Remix for my liking.

Now this was a good arrangement.

[quote="D";124837613]Also, Toon Link not a true blonde confirmed. Look at those eyebrows[/quote]
That's quite a common thing with young children.

 

[theprodigy]

I'd say Paper Mario has as good a chance as anything. He has his own stage, he's visually unique, and he certainly would have no shortage of moves to draw upon. Being 2D that can bend and warp in a 3D fashion would make him unique from G&W, too. There are certainly enough games to justify him.

as anything?

I bet Meta Knight has a better chance

 

[Captain Europe]

Melee wins just for having these two tracks alone:

http://youtu.be/0h8q9aCxw0g
http://youtu.be/9ZLi13Yk358

Melee's soundtrack is just god-tier, I really hope they include all Melee tracks in the Wii U version.

 

[BGBW]

Best vocal track from Brawl.

Only joking. It's all about FIARU EMBREM,
VIA SINE FINE
FACILE EUNT SOCIL!

 

[Toxi]

This is essentially my opinion - the SSB4 model manages to fix most of the problems with the Other M suit, but that cannon just looks pathetic.
If only they decided to draw a little more from Prime's cannon in adapting the Other M suit...

Is there a pic of the Metroid Prime Phazon beam? I love how fucked up that one looks, like everything is exploding outwards.

Also, what's one with the blue metal parts? I don't remember my arm cannon looking like that.

 

[random25]

Speaking of music, I would love for K.K. Slider music to come back to Smash 4. Love to listen to those tunes. With better AC representation this time around, I'm sure Sakurai can put in lots of K.K.'s best songs.

 

[emb]

I really don't think that Sakurai would cut one of his creations.

Sakurai cut out the weird cat he created for Melee.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Did they ever said about a non bundle to get the gamecube adapter ?

Yeah, they are going to sell gamecube adapter itself as well.

 

[Forkball]

You have been getting it since the first game.

Also there are characters in the game that represent greater concepts than themselves, this game in its entirety is in a way symbolism.

So I ask, what in the hell are you even talking about?

Also mushroomy kingdom isn't symbolism, its a joke. Its been years since mario one and its old, that's the joke.

What are you jabbering about? Smash is not some deep philosophical exercise. I look forward to your thesis "Under the Glove: A Metaphysical Look at How Smash Bros. Affects Us in a Post-Wii World."

And yeah Toon Link looked pretty eerie in Brawl. So did Ness. Some characters did not translate well into that art style. So far I think everyone looks great in SSB4 outside of Palutena and Lucina's lifeless doll faces.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Hey guys, it's Ice Climbers. Lose your friends and let's climb a mountain!

Seriously, "lose your friends" :"drop your friends" or any other versions are all I can find on what they're saying. I guess they could be saying "grab your friends" but eh....

I hated the vocal openings in songs in Brawl. They were entirely pointless and ruined otherwise good songs. Hopefully if they bring them back, they drop the garbled low quality voice clips.

 

[SliceSabre]

Eh. Nothing about Melee's soundtrack ever stood out for me except the Menu music. The overall OST itself was pretty lackluster.

Now Brawl's? Dear lord where do I start? There are so many songs I want Smash 4 to drag from Brawl I can't even count'em all. I even loved the completely nonsense songs like Tetris: Type B.

In fact I fully expect Tetris: Type B to be a song on the Tomodachi Life stage. Then you have a song like Vs. Marx that seems like such an un-Smash Bros like song in a way and let's no forget 0² Battle.

 

[theprodigy]

Sakurai cut out the weird cat he created for Melee.

>created for Melee
>refers to Meta Knight

???

 

[Luqi]

I'm still trying to figure it out the image that was posted today.

Is Meta Knight in or out?

 

[TheSlySoul]

I'd say Paper Mario has as good a chance as anything. He has his own stage, he's visually unique, and he certainly would have no shortage of moves to draw upon. Being 2D that can bend and warp in a 3D fashion would make him unique from G&W, too. There are certainly enough games to justify him.

I would love Paper Mario to be in it. However, I think Sakurai probably has the mindset that there is enough Mario characters (along with Pokémon). I expect a new franchise representative (Rhythm Heaven) over Paper Mario honestly. I think the only reason Wario got in Brawl was because of Wario Ware.

I'm still trying to figure it out the image that was posted today.

Is Meta Knight in or out?

Most likely yes, but nothing directly confirmed. Much like Game and Watch showing up in the Pac-Man trailer. I wonder if Metaknight is unlockable this time, which is why he is not directly confirmed.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Someone needs to photoshop Ridley instead of the bike.

Donizetty just heard your plea, and granted you a wish.

Meta Knight has been cut just like Drinky Crow has been banned.

The best of New Leaf!

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Man, I love the weird voices at the beginning of Ice Climber in Brawl.

Gives the song a pretty unique feel, I always thought it was supposed to bring to mind like a radio transmission the Ice Climbers receive since I imagine them as heroes who save people stranded in the mountain.

 

[Toxi]

Eh. Nothing about Melee's soundtrack ever stood out for me except the Menu music. The overall OST itself was pretty lackluster.

I would definitely not describe Melee's OST as lackluster. Brinstar Depths, Fountain of Dreams, Mute City, and the Hyrule Temple Fire Emblem theme are all beautiful and well-remembered arrangements. My friend loved the Fire Emblem one so much that he learned piano just so he could play it in some fashion.

 

[Luqi]

Oh I realized we are one month away of the JPN release.

Hype intensifies.

 

[-Horizon-]

I hope this song comes back
Reminds me of those early day anime OP dubs by 4kids lol

Seriously though, I want this song back

 

[rawktapus]

2 AM was my favorite smash bros track. That and Go KK Rider are the only songs I play for the animal crossing stage

EDIT:
Ah, found it

[SliceSabre]

One character I just thought of is Pac-man. Sure hope they pull music from some of his newer games like the song Pac-Avenue and Pac-Steps.

Nope

Nice songs but I didn't find them memorable in the least. I have a hard time recalling any of Melee's songs.

No, the cat he made up that was playable in Melee. I think it was called Muto or something?

Isn't that two more days from now?

I'm still trying to figure it out the image that was posted today.

Even if he's out, we can always recreate him as a Mii, right? Pretty much the same thing. (lol)

 

[-Horizon-]

Donizetty just heard your plea, and granted you a wish.

:0

He just needs a viking hat.

 

[JoeInky]

So the eshop version will release at midnight JST right?


That means I'm going to be able to download it around 4pm, not a bad time.

 

[BGBW]

I chuckle at the simpletons who don't realise the intro to the Metroid arrangement is a reference to cut audio from Metroid Prime.

 

[Sponge]

More than likely in if they bothered to make a Mii costume for him.

Are you going to stream when you get it?

Yeah, considering some remixes like this one, I am excited what they will do with the OST.
Even if the game blows (which this game has to be better than Brawl), the soundtrack is going to be amazing with Megaman, Rhythm Heaven, and Pac-Man.

No guarantee. Pretty sure some releases have waited until morning JST.

It also might be a reference to the Metroid Prime and Metroid Fusion commercials.

Which themselves reference this Super Metroid commercial.

yes, we need multiple people wrecking at launch!

 

[Sponge]

Ah, Championship Edition. Easily one of the best Pac-Man games I've played in years.

I personally hope they include THIS great song in one of the Pac-Man stages:

I almost closed right out the video when I saw SxT but this song is pretty nice.

I thank SteamGAF for getting me to buy it during the summer sale.

 

[ffdgh]

And then google shuts down the streams because lol leaks.

 

[Sponge]

Here's to hoping Pac-Man's track list isn't just limited to his own series. I'm hoping for some DigDug myself.

I recalled that it did happened before on stream. I don't remember which channel.

 

[JoeInky]

I don't have a capture card and probably won't be able to buy one, considering how expensive they are.


If I have £150 to spare at the time? Yeah sure, but I might do some messing around with offscreen capture methods to see what the quality is like if people are that interested, though I'm sure there'll be other people with the proper equipment doing it.


My main problem with a 3DS capture card is that I won't be using it for anything else and I won't be playing the 3DS version by the time the WiiU one releases, makes it much harder to justify the 3DS capture card than it was for my Elgato.

And then google shuts down the streams because lol leaks.

I'll be using Hitbox if anything lol.

 

[Toxi]

Actually, come to think of it... Is the Metroid Prime theme from Brawl a new arragement? I originally though it was a rip that combined the intro and theme, but it's actually different from the in-game theme even without the narration, since the static is missing.

And I remember hearing that the narration was in some promotional material, but I can't find it anywhere.

EDIT: And the intro is also different. The heavy bass is gone.

Understandable. I thought I remembered you posting about possibly doing it before, was why I was curious. Would be cool to see the game from a Gaffer, but I wouldn't spend the money on a 3DS capture thing either lol.

[Shadow Hog]

I don't remember melee having ... songs that were just the original one pasted in...

Oh, they were in there. (Also, the N64 tracks - the last one only being used for Luigi's Adventure Mode cutscene, but still.)

I'm still trying to figure it out the image that was posted today.

Yes.
