Did anyone else think of weird funk rap music when you saw the assist trophy today, like outkast and snoop start playing every time you summon him?

I think it's just you

No, but the Snoop association probably stems from exposure to the most pimped out Gourmet Race ever.

Like he just starts rapping and it gets darker and then when he finishes the stage lights back

"Creep with me..."

It's true that we didn't hear much about the music, or hear much music from the game, period.

I wonder who they got on board this time to do some arrangements. (I hope Sakuraba did more Kirby arrangements.)

I think all the Uprising composers will return at least. Just want to hear anything from Iwadare.

Work has been busy the last couple of weeks. Now that it's slow, I can get back to writing this thing ^_^

I hope Yoko Shimomura and Yasunori Mitsuda return as guest musicians. For my money, they're two of the best musical minds of our time.

man between the E3 and Comic Con writeups, I've forgotten how many sections you've written up by now

To get an idea of your thoughts in summary: Is Smash 4 fun? Are you more or less excited for it after playing?

 

[The Bankslammer]

I might just have bad memory, but has the name "Nightmare Wizard" ever actually been used for the character prior to this? Like, I know it's Nightmare, and this is his wizard form as opposed to his orb form, but... he's still Nightmare. And the Japanese PotD just refers to his as "Nightmare" too.

My first thought was that maybe Nightmare from Metroid Fusion would show up and they wanted to designate the difference between the two with different names, but upon further research, Metroid's Nightmare has the same name (including spelling) as Kirby's Nightmare in both languages, so I don't see why they would change it in one version but not the other.

In conclusion, I'm probably reading too much into a weird translation thing.

So is Space Satan Jay Leno a 2D render, or is that a 3D model... or maybe a 3D model captured as a 2D render?

Face/Hands looks like 2D. Cloak looks 3D. Means cloak will likely be animated, but his face/hands will not. Just a guess.

I would like to see new stage tomorrow. There are some franchises that are still lacking stages for 3DS.

Hmm, maybe.

 

[afoni]

anyone got a count on the veterans that are left to be revealed/cut?

a list would be cool

Haven't we seen way more 3DS stages than Wii U stages? Yes, I understand that the 3DS version comes out first, but I feel like Wii U users have been given the short end of the stick...

 

[Boss Doggie]

The banner is still there so no vet

Jigglypuff
Ivysaur

They really need something to keep people checking for daily updates after 3DS got released so having full focus on Wii U after 3DS release date would be great idea.

Bolded are staying, italic are cut.

That's my speculation.

And arguably Mewtwo.

I'm thinking all but Ivysaur, Squirtle, Snake, and Mewtwo are coming back. If there's character DLC, though, Mewtwo would have to be one of those characters.

I think the full list is:

Wario
Ness
Lucas
Ice Climbers
Jigglypuff
Ganondorf
Falco
Wolf
ROB
Snake
Ivysaur
Squirtle
Mr. Game & Watch (ignoring his bit in the Pac Man trailer)

EDIT: beaten

 

[afoni]

Roy, Mewtwo and Pichu are never coming back. Don't hold your breath, Dr. Mario has more chance than those yohos.

 

[IntelliHeath]

And arguably Mewtwo.

Yeah. I have a feeling that he have good chance to be DLC character if it's happening.

How dare you cut ice climbers. You're a monster.

I ninja edited in the same sentiment, heh.

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

You know, I have to say... I didn't really care about the Tomodachi Life stage before, but I recently got it for free as part of a sale, and I've become HOPELESSLY addicted to it. It's just packed full of charm and really weird-ass humor, and the fact that it can star your friends/family/loved ones/Nintendo execs just makes it that much better. I mean, Sakurai just hooked up with a long-time buddy of mine!

Now I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of quirky stuff they can bring over from the game into the Smash stage. Should be a lot of fun!

 

[PadWarrior]

All set for amiibos sold some things on eBay. Got over 300 bucks ready for that plastic crack.

 

[JediLink]

Mewtwo will be back. And Ridley will be in. But not K. Rool; instead the DKC rep will be Dixie. Mark my words.

 

[TheChits]

I really hope we can get Fountain of Dreams as a stage again.

 

[The Great Gonzales]

Tomodachi Life has one of the worst demos I've ever seen. There's a grand total of about 10 minutes of content.

As for the stage, I'm wondering if there are going to be any stage hazards or gimmicks on it at all. From what we've seen, all the activity in the stage - the stuff the Miis are doing - seems to be going on in the background. It's possible that it will all be for show and have no effect on the fighting.

Ridley will definitely be in. As a stage hazard.

Yeah, I can agree with you there; it's not a very good demo. Doesn't give you a real feel for the game at all.

The full package is really fun and charming, though, as long as you're down with the kind of game it is. It's very mobile-esque in that it's a play-it-for-five-minutes-while-you're-waiting type of deal. It's not "hardcore" or whatever at all, but then, not every game needs to be!

I'd be fine with the Smash stage having no hazards and just coasting on the charm of seeing your system's Miis interacting in the background. There are already plenty of stages with hazards; I'd be fine with this stage being Smash 3DS's Smashville, as it were.

Eh, if I hadn't made it, someone else would have (people were already discussing it in the main thread). It was the first time anyone was banned for that, but certainly not the first time it was done. No regrets. But obviously lesson learned.

Oh wow, you got the first ban for that? That sucks, sorry to hear that. But hey, at least you're back and it's all good now! Just in time for the release hype!

 

[Spinosaurus]

I'll take that you can transfer your Miis and their equipment between each versions.
