It makes her look more agile which makes sense with how fast she moves and how high she jumps.

The Other M suit just forgoes all the power and bulk for slim and sleek though.

She's supposed to be one of the most powerful beings in the Metroid universe, the suit looking bulky doesn't mean she can't move fast, the fact that the suit is so bulky normally yet she can still move as fast and jump as high always just made her seem more powerful to me.

I don't ever remember thinking to myself "She shouldn't be able to run that fast or jump that high, her suit is so bulky!" in super, it was never a problem.


And that arm cannon, that fucking awful arm cannon.

Oh god, one of Sonic's alts will be Shadow and people will make those creepy screenshots...
Who looks most like Shrek?

 

[Toxi]

If the last 10 seconds of the Green Greens sample are any indication, the rest of the track will incorporate much more of Hamauzu's distinct light synth elements, percussion and solo violin. Though I agree that the Reset Bomb piece and Area 6 are a little lacking.

Yeah, I'm starting to feel Green Greens more. I think Green Greens has some really good sound choices, it just is a bit busy in the sections previewed.

Area 6 is really really bad though. It's too cute and not in a way that's charming. The percussion sounds are almost comical.

See, I love the Newgroundish midi remixes. I like orchestra too, but none of the orchestral pieces have really wow'd me in the same way as Fountain of Dreams. The best is the Spirit Tracks one, and that's mainly because it does something different and interesting with the wind instruments.

Well, for me the XY Trainer Theme Battle is the best piece of music I've heard so far in the game. I fell in love with it since the Greninja trailer and I haven't even played XY so far. The live instruments in Koshiro's arrangements (Etrian Odyssey, Kid Icarus, Time and Eternity) carry such energy, they pump me for battle.

Also kudos to him for challenging himself and doing an orchestral re-arrange an already orchestral arrange. The motif is almost the same, with some variations, but the part near the fade is totally new and I bet it will be... "hamazing!".

Nothing against synths, but some of the synth arranges so far sound even amateurish. They feel like lazy, comissioned pieces of music. That was my main gripe with Brawl's soundtrack.

 

[BGBW]

Even though logic says it will get another Zelda tune, I kind of want the second Spirit Tracks train stage music to be a medley of Wario train level themes.

Wait, it's... 2 tracks per stage...? >_<

Hope the Wii U version is like Brawl in that regard then.

 

[Toxi]

And that arm cannon, that fucking awful arm cannon.

More like an arm Klobb.

 

[Kangi]

Ninten as a Ness alt.

Lucas can stay DLC.

Also: Bandana Waddle Dee as Kirby alt.

 

[Golnei]

Yeah, it's a bummer, but I'm guessing that space constraints are the reason that we'll be hearing a lot of synth sounds on the 3DS soundtrack. With any luck, though, we'll get some fully orchestrated beauty in the Wii U version!

It's a streamed audio file either way. Things would be different if the MIDI was being played back by the hardware, but with the approach they've taken, whether it's orchestrated or synthesised makes absolutely no difference. Actually, I'm a little surprised that there seems to be almost no original orchestration for SSB4, especially since Kid Icarus used live recordings so heavily - I guess it must be because of the significantly larger size of the soundtrack.

 

[RagnarokX]

Good luck saving this monstrosity.

 

[Crocodile]

Too slim. It doesn't feel like realistic space armor.

Realistic........

Space Armor.........

Let that sink in for a moment

 

[Troubled Bat]

I hope Shulk has eight different outfits from Xenoblade rather than alt colours. We've already seen his swimsuit.

I want jungle Shulk.

I would be absolutely happy if this became a thing. The jungle outfit is my most favorite of outfits for Shulk.

 

[Pikma]

I'm off to sleep guys, next two days are gonna be a looooong days (my birthday's on thursday, yay!) so I got to have enough energy for it.

I love you SmashGAF <3

3DS is like Melee
Wii U is like Brawl

You tried. I can appreciate that, even if the task is obviously futile. Thanks.

 

[FunkyMunkey]

eight costumes per character

 

[Troubled Bat]

I'm curious on how this would have looked as a color.

 

[JoeInky]

I'm curious on how this would have looked as a color.

I like how when the Galactic Federation modify Samus' suit, they plaster their little logo/motif all over it, that brand recognition.

 

[InvincibleAgent]

We might get more colour schemes.

Predicted 14 hours in advance. Good call!

 

[BuggyDClown]

I'm curious on how this would have looked as a color.

I wanted it too Oh well we got DARK SAMUS! So I'm happy!

PED would have also been dope though. Seamus has so many options.

Now who else will get great ALT costumes?

Lucas ALT for Ness???

 

[Hyperactivity]

Woah it's up y'all

8 alt colors for everyone

"Pic of the day. Until now, you were only able to choose from four, or sometimes five or six colors for each character. This time, though, all characters have eight colors to choose from! The first four color schemes for Samus are based off her Varia Suit, Fusion Suit, Gravity Suit from Super Metroid, and the Dark Suit."

"…And here she is in the color schemes of the Gravity Suit from Metroid Prime, Green Samus (a regular in the Smash series), the Light Suit, and Dark Samus. A total of eight colors."

Sakurai's been ON POINT these last two days

Dark Samus and Light Suit loo awesome
He's trying to tell us POTD is still VERY worth it

 

[Kensho]

POTD has been too suspicious these last 2 days... now I'm expecting tomorrow a picture of Bowser with a giant mushroom: "No one's too big to get into Smash"

 

[BGBW]

Predicted 14 hours in advance. Good call!

Even I forget how great I am sometimes.

 

[A Link to the Past]

I want the next PotD to be pictures of Barbara and Ryuta Ipponji as Assist Trophies, with a comment, "Barbara and Ryuta appear and keep the rhythm! Though, they need one more to make a trio..."

 

[mclem]

"You can choose between four male and four female Villagers to play with. The designs for their faces and clothes are different. And here are the four Villagers we haven't shown you yet."

The floor patterning makes it look like blue-shirt male has wet himself and green-dress female has just thrown up. Purple-shirt male is delighted by vomit. Yellow/blue striped female is completely unaware of this because she's had SO MUCH COFFEE.

 

[BGBW]

Funny how Samus' visor looks more blue in today's PotD compared to her ealier shots:

I assume stage lighting is causing this.

 

[Ahnez]

Well, Dark Samus confirmed playable

Cool update, even if those are only texture swaps, they look very good

Realistic........

Space Armor.........

Let that sink in for a moment

I think it's quite obvious that I'm speaking of realistic to common sense rules. :v Unless otherwise noted, the rules of armour applies to Metroid as it does IRL.

 

[HUELEN10]

Wait, 8...

As in 8 choices?

As in the number of Bowser's children plus koopalings?!?!?!

Am I setting myself up for disappointment or not?

 

[ArcaneFreeze]

What do you guys think Links final costume will be? Assuming every color from Brawl is back we have Default, Blue, Red, White, Dark, and Yellow plus his Skyward Sword costume. That leaves one slot left. Fierce Deity anyone?

 

[A Link to the Past]

Considering that the leak says that the Koopalings are alts, you have NOTHING to worry about with respect to over-hyping there.

Sooo...

Lucas Alt for Ness.. & Wolf Alt for Starfox? Move/Mix Wolf moveset into Falco? Then we only lose IC/Snake

Eh, I'd still call it a loss. I'd be happy to have him at least as an alt, but extremely unhappy that they couldn't have at least made Lucas and Wolf Lucina-level clones of Ness and Fox or Falco at the very least.

Might as well believe it at this point. It's happening! Along with Olimar getting an alt of the character from Pikmin 3.

That's probably it. Remember Link got a new pink outfit.

I think it'll just be a colour swap. Perhaps an ALttP Link palette? Though I'd much rather see Toon Link get that palette - from the NES costume in Brawl, we can see that not all of their colours have to be identical. Though if we were to get a modeled alt, unlikely as it'd be, the sumo outfit, Magic Armour or Zora Armour would all be good choices.

NEW MUSIC!

Theme from Area 6 / Missile Slipstream
Source: Star Fox 64 / Star Fox Command
Arrangement: Motoi Sakuraba

Wrath of the Reset Bomb
Source: Kid Icarus: Uprising
Arrangement Supervisor: Yuzo Koshiro

The Star Fox rearrangement is godtier, better than Brawl's (although that wasn't bad).
