I had no idea. My life will never be the same...
Sorry, the Zapper is reserved forDuck Hunt Dog
The NES Zapper might be, but the Wii variant would work as a Mii weapon.

Yeah, Great Tiger is certainly a Punchout character, but King Hippo is the most iconic, memorable one. Because he looks so weird.
"Chorus Men"
Oh fakers, when will you learn that NoA reps would call them "Chorus Kids"?
They've got the big tunes covered already. But, I'm secretly hoping there might be a Super Punch-Out remix tossed in there somewhere too. A new version of SPO'S World Circuit music would be hype.
Yeah, Luigi is the one that sticks out like a sore thumb to me since Sakurai did imply he'd still be a secret character when he was revealed. Of course they could always change their minds on such matters but it's enough to make me uncertain.
Yeh but Great Tiger's godlke.

Punch Out Wii is underrated every single day. Just the taunting animations alone are fucking beautiful.

Oh yeah, good call; we haven't seen any Super Punch-Out love.
If the amount of Wii U music really is as large as they're saying it is, and no music is shared between stages that appear in both versions, I think we'll definitely see at least one track from Super Punch-Out.
Yeah I literally have only started going there today to look for Pax leaks. Never spent more than 5 minutes at a time on there.
Yes. How did you manage to not know this titbit for all this time?
You're correct.
As much as I like the outfit, hopefully it'll have at least one palette swap of its own, just for variety. And for the reference.
There is a ton of content in this game. It's easy to forget.
I wonder how it'll affect his entry animation. He usually jumps into the arena then pulls off his jumpsuit.
I've been away for a couple of months and have only been taking in smash news in passing - can anyone link me to the point in discussion where the leak comes about? I wanna see reactions and meltdowns.
Also, if there's nothing else in the game, that's already a stellar roster. And IF there is more, well, Lordy.

That's a ridiculous statement. Great Tiger is notable - perhaps not as notable as King Hippo, but the equation of Petey to Rosalina and Jr. is completely ignoring his significance to the two Punch-Out!! games many people have played (Mike Tyson's and Wii), but also ignores the fact that Great Tiger predates King Hippo and has been in more games. He was a tough opponent, and quite frankly, he's a way more interesting fight than most characters in the entire series - King Hippo included. In the two (and only two) games King Hippo has been in, he's had basically only a small handful of attacks.
Chrom = King Hippo
Robin = Great Tiger
If King Hippo was playable, it would be for any reason besides "King Hippo brings something new to the table." How many characters aren't in for the fact that they do something interesting?
Bowser Jr. allows for an iconic group of characters to be playable, and introduces a vehicle-based character.
Rosalina & Luma is a new take on tandem characters.
Robin has aerial smashes and limited "ammo" for many of his attacks.
Little Mac has amazing ground attacks and poor aerials (did we determine whether any of his aerials are good besides maybe his Up B?).
Villager has his recovery, his Pocket, and his tree-cutting.
Palutena has a robust set of custom moves.
Mii Fighters are customization out the ass.
Wii Fit Trainer has a buff technique and works yoga and fitness into her moveset.
Shulk has mode changes.
Mega Man and Pac-Man both have a number of attacks that honour their history and legacy.
The only character that I can really say didn't get in for being a super unique concept (besides our clones) was Greninja, but even Greninja feels pretty newish. Sakurai seems pretty bent on making sure that as many characters contribute something fairly fresh to Smash.
That's a pretty good way of putting it. I still think King Hippo would get in any day over Great Tiger, but then again I thought Robin had little to no chance against Chrom.
Also, has this been posted yet? It's incredible.
Reyn commentates the Shulk reveal trailer.
Defintiley missin "WHAT BUNCHA JOKAHS" though.

Honestly, I'd be surprised if Soda Popinski made it in as a trophy. 
...You know, it occurred to me, wouldn't he show up in the trophy leak? I mean, they can't be that worried about their history anymore, can they? So if Soda WAS a trophy - and he damn well should be (everyone that appears in Punch-Out!! for Wii, including
should, in fact), they would mention his original role as a drunk, which would have to be shown to the ESRB...
I'm really, really worried that Punch-Out!! might get screwed in the way of trophies. Why does Sakurai hate all things good in life?

Real weeks end on Sunday.
*If you're in Japan
Are people forgetting we are mostly EU/US here or has literally everyone wasted money on a foreign 3DS to play 3 weeks earlier?

This is the ESRB's description for the Wii Punch-Out game. I doubt the revised version of the character, where he only appears to be drunk, would need to be mentioned, especially if he's just a trophy. And I really don't think Punch-Out will have a dearth of trophies, considering the ease with which ripped models from the Wii game could be used.
I don't concern myself with the.... people who don't have a Japanese 3DS. I admit my interest in getting one was piqued when I heard Smash was coming out earlier in Japan, but there are a lot of really interesting Japan-only titles on 3DS and it has an extensive virtual console. It is certainly worth the price.
And then Nintendo announced the New 3DS....
Why does he have still have his collar? Why does he still have part of the the front of his jacket? What is this even attached to? Is it sewn on to his skin? That is a disgusting thought!

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
what is happening in this thread
The weekend.
I can only imagine the chaos of when this game is finally released.
I'll probably stand back and play a day or two by myself before coming back here and playing with SmashGAF.
It's going to be unorganised hell come Oct. 3rd.
I just pray online play works this time. It gives me confidence that we can spectate any randoms match in the world, so it has to be somewhat stablr.

Yeah, but this is Nintendo history :v it's very possible that Sakurai might make a nod to his history. Then again, it might be Nintendo policy to make Vodka Drunkenski their personal JonTron.
Also, if there indeed is a Punch-Out!! trophy shortage, I'm holding you personally accountable for no rational reason
You can see the the fabric around it. He's wearing his collar as a collar - otherwise the scarf would just look out of place.
The drastic disparity in head sizes is kind of unsettling...
Every time I check this thread. Every. Time. Can't yall be normal/non-creepy for once? One page?

Brawl's soundtrack is so much better than Melee's it's not even fair. Not that Melee's is bad (quite the contrary), but Brawl's outclasses it in every way. I mean, fuck, Brawl's soundtrack has most of Melee's within it plus a million more awesome songs on top of that. Come on. The idea that Melee has the better soundtrack is just part of the whole idiotic "everything Melee >>>> everything Brawl because reasons" argument IMO.

It's Sunday. Smash comes out next week. NEXT. WEEK.
...why?
It depends what you're looking for in the soundtrack.
Brawl: Breadth and variety but it's all midi and they padded it out with the original songs and music from the previous game.
Melee: Not much choice but what is there is of a much higher quality than what's in Brawl.
If Brawl was just 2-3 songs per stage but they were all orchestrated, It would be undeniably better, as it stands I keep switching between which one I like best.
Sometimes I like that Brawl has a massive selection, sometimes I like that Melee just has better quality per song.
Also Brawl is missing the Melee Fire Emblem theme if I remember right, that sucked.

Can't wait for playable Metal Face. If he was a boss they'd outright say so, just teasing his shadow must mean something more.

I might have griped a bit about this, but Smash 4 has some crappy unlockable characters :v (relative to what were the unlockables of past games). I'm just... eh. The unlockables count drops from Brawl to Smash 4, fewer unlockable newcomers (only two are fully unique newcomers!), Wario relegated to unlockable status for no reason. Honestly, it's enough to make a man hope to no end that they finish off the unlockable roster with at least a Rhythm Heaven character... maybe Ridley? Dixie Kong? Eh?
EDIT: As far as Brawl OST vs. Melee OST, Brawl probably edges it out in overall quality... but so much of the songs are either duds, or songs I never listen to. There are so few songs in Melee that I have that kind of issue. As someone else also commented, the lack of any true orchestration really ruined a lot of songs, while Melee's smaller OST used brilliant orchestration. It's why Melee also has the better trophies than Brawl.
