Punch-Out Ring Stage

Whenever I would post tidbits about this, I got a couple of requests to make this its own thread, so I decided to go ahead go through with it.

So, the boxing ring stage. You've seen it, I'm sure. Some people aren't exactly sure if it's a Punch Out related stage, if it's a Kirby themed stage, or just a generic new boxing ring stage just for kicks. Well, I'm gonna tell you that this stage is a Punch Out themed stage for a multitude of reasons. So let's begin I guess...

First off, the audience is human, so you can rule out any possibility that this is a Kirby themed stage (all Kirby boxing rings have Kirby characters instead). The marquee's in the background are all dot styled, which is consistent with the marquees in Punch Out Wii, and even the title screen and round indicators for Mike Tyson's Punch Out.

Various dot styled marquee screens: http://i.imgur.com/sgmo0ru.png

All logos in Punch Out Wii are adorned with clusters of stars, which are usually in 3's because triple star punches are the most powerful punch in the game, as well as the "leaf vines" on the sides (forgive me; I don't know the term for this) and a giant star somewhere in the middle. The logo in the ring, while being smash themed, shares all of these characteristics.

3 star cluster on bottom: http://i.imgur.com/QSCAXpe.jpg
Minor/Major/World Circuit Emblems: http://i.imgur.com/oWzpteX.jpg

The ring ropes are also identical in both color and configuration as the Major Circuit ring in Punch Out Wii. Similarly, the corners are all identical colors and positions as the Punch Out Wii corners. The logo in Smash also features a ribbon at the top, which is a direct throwback to the World Circuit ribbon at the top and bottom of the logo.

Major Circuit ropes and World Circuit ribbon: http://i.imgur.com/UV4O3mB.png

Also, as a random tidbit, the ribbon in the Smash Punch Out stage says "CHAMPIONSHIP" on it, which is probably because if it straight up said "Major Circuit" on it, it would be flat out obvious. Plus since Smash Bros doesn't have "circuits", championship makes more sense in the context of the game.

The final fight in Punch Out Wii, Mr. Sandman, has a very particular entrance for both his Title Defense and Contender fights. He approaches the ring while there's a green laser light show that goes on behind him. Well, check this out...

Mario in the ring: http://i.imgur.com/Odu2I7I.jpg

Same green laser show.

But yeah, there are an abundance of intentional details that suggest this stage is designed to be a Punch Out stage. There may be a few details that I'm missing, but those were all the details I seemed to notice. Unsure if this confirms Mac being a character, but at the very least there's a stage from the Punch Out series in the game.

And I can destroy with Bowser on 3DS? Heck yeah!

 

[udivision]

reppin my main man bowser. In the house with a new DROP-KICK!

New air attacks, runnning animation, dash attack and he stands talla.

 

[granabanana]

Boxing ring. Lil Mac confirmed for smash bros.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Toon Link from Spirit Tracks. Part of the background or hidden character?

 

[Vegivo]

im soo hyped

 

[Grakl]

Villager going to be top tier. Having the Wii Fit Trainer as a character is hilarious.

Lucario better be in.

 

[shadyspace]

Has there been any word on if "For Wii U" and "For 3DS" are meant to be the official names

 

[Seven Force]

I hope every new character gets a reveal trailer. Stuff like that has been my favorite part of fighting game hype trains this past generation.

 

[JoeInky]

Bowser is faster now (so fucking good).

Heavy characters confirmed to not be shit anymore or do you reckon this will just be a bowser change?

 

[Josman]

Dat megaman, looks great I always knew he was going to be in a smash game, villager looks horrible lol, I wonder how the 3DS version will be?

 

[balladofwindfishes]

on the direct video, Sakurai said the 3DS and WiiU versions have the same characters but different levels

in case anyone was concerned about the character count for the 3DS (and the lack of Villager and Wii Fit Trainer 3DS Screenshots)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO he must protect his fingers!!!

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Megathreads are generally discouraged, but maybe it'll be best for GAF's servers. I made a topic about the ambiguous wording of Sakurai saying the Wii U and 3DS version will have the same amount of characters, not the same characters. Weird.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Toon Link from Spirit Tracks. Part of the background or hidden character?

Part of the background. They are fighting on his train.

 

[Red Chocobo]

This just made me want a new StarFox even more

 

[TheMink]

Megaman was the biggest megaton ever!!

 

[Divvy]

Megaman looks top tier

Projectile spike? Holy crap!

 

[Greenzxy]

The Developer Interview needs to be added if it hasn't already, I didn't see.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=vQD1yJinzeQ

Lots of neat infomation.

 

[Guevara]

So how's this work between the 3DS and Wii U versions? Totally different games or crossbuy/YOPO?

 

[BGBW]

Thanks Heath for this. I was almost tempted to do it myself, but I knew you'd want the honours.

I notice WiiFit Trainer is in one of the Kirby screenshots. I hope she wasn't there from the beginning and we all overlooked her before the reveal HA HA.

 

[FantasyFreak07]

I don't know about you guys but I hope they keep some of the characters a secret. I want to be surprised!

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Hoping to hear about new characters sometime this week..

 

[leroidys]

Does this mean no toon link?

 

[TreIII]

reppin my main man bowser. In the house with a new DROP-KICK!

This made me so happy to see. They're finally doing more to turn Bowser into the grappler kaiju that he should have been from the start!

I only hope he gets some serious super armor on his moves like the Project M guys did. He NEEDS that kind of stuff so that the likes of the Space Furries (and now Mega Man) can't just interrupt everything he does with projectile spam.

 

[Kouichi]

The hype up to this game's release is going to be insane.

I cannot wait to see all the characters and features Sakurai has got cooking up.

 

[J@hranimo]

I think this Smash is trying to be a little more faster paced like Melee but keep it manageable like Brawl. I hope they make more interesting tweaks to other characters like they did Bowser. So much yes!

 

[peaceiscloser]

Do we know what form of air dodging is in this game?

So excited to play as Wii Fit Trainer.

 

[MYE]

this looked fucking awesoem!!!

Lots of neat infomation.

Gerudo Valley is a stage on the 3DS version :O

Dat music!

 

[Cade]

This isn't a dojo. This is a website. Sakurai, please.

 

[DR2K]

Wii Fit trainer 9-1 match up vs Wario. DAY 1 both version.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Does this mean no toon link?

I liked him too, but it's time to let go.

 

[Ithil]

At the risk of being obvious, those are, uh, working titles I assume?

 

[Kurtofan]

Developer Direct with Sakurai about Smash Bros and the three newcomers!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQD1yJinzeQ

 

[Draconian]

Toon Link from Spirit Tracks. Part of the background or hidden character?

He looked like he was part of the background. I don't think he moved at all.

 

[Ryce]

Villager and Mega Man were my most wanted newcomers, and I'm really shocked they were both confirmed today. I'm kind of pissed I was talked out of putting Villager on my roster prediction list, though. I remember posting links to Sakurai editorials where he wrote about the Villager back in the Brawl days, and he's always stuck with me as a plausible candidate.

 

[Pizza Luigi]

Looks like Gerudo Valley is in the 3DS version?

 

[Battle Born]

A gorgeous game. Adding Mega Man was a perfect choice, as well as the Animal Crossing Villager. Knowing that the Wii Fit Trainer was in it was kind of weird at first but after seeing her in the game, she looks like she might be fun to play as her.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Ugh, Spirit Tracks. Guess what stage will be removed from my Random Stage Switch.

Never heard of this site before, but they're claiming Pac Man, Mii and Little Mac will be shown next:
http://gematsu.com/2013/06/wii-fit-trainer-joins-super-smash-bros

Feel like they'd save Pac Man for further on. Also,

Last week, Gematsu was tipped off about Nintendo’s E3 character reveals for Super Smash Bros. But since we were unable to confirm the validity of our source, we refrained from posting the information.

Heh, BULLSHIT.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Get ready for Little Mac, Pac-Man, and a Mii reveal!

 

[Kouichi]

This just made me want a new StarFox even more

I know that feel man

 

[Zomba13]

Toon Link from Spirit Tracks. Part of the background or hidden character?

Background. All characters on the 3DS version have a black outline to make them stand out more due to the smaller screen or something (said in developer direct).
Doesn't mean toon link isn't in though.

 

[sn00zer]

Wii Fit girl is exactly the kind of rostering I am expecting...love it

 

[BGBW]

You may also want to include a link to the Miiverse Director's Room for the game.

I love the way Megaman is animated. Really captures that classic look. Reminds me of how much I loved Sonic's stage edge wobble animation.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

So have they said when they would start updating the Dojo? At the end of the developer video Sakurai said he'd be updating 5 days a week with new pictures to the Smash Bros Miiverse community.

 

[DrStiles]

 

[shink]

Wii Fit character looks terrible. I like the Villager.

 

[Azure J]

Everything about this game is fucking gorgeous. The single best Megaman representation in anything ever, a better artstyle than Brawl (easing up on details and more saturated colors), DAT LIGHTING AND MODELING... Man, I'm still aching to hear more already.

Also, is this the part where we bombard Miiverse with character wishes?
