His you're to slow taunt looks great though, Nike smile and all.

This I can definitely agree on.

Not that I don't mind the slight Classic Sonic influences, but I prefer the cocky grins as oppose to the derp smile (the former of which is seen in Sponge's post below).

Alright, important discussion time.

....what Sonic music are they gonna include this time? It would be sweet if that Windy Hill music from Lost World made it in, considering that's what seems to be his stage this time around. City Escape also needs to be in.

All I need are Live and Learn/City Escape and arrangements in the vein of Generations. Oh, and definitely Planet Wisp.

they're probably gonna include the sonic heroes theme though fuuuuuuuuck

Every Sonic render usually places his mouth on the side. Every Sonic model before Unleashed used to render his mouth on the front of his muzzle. This is most evident in Sonic Adventure 2 as well as Sonic Heroes.

During the development of Unleashed and the huge IGN blog they had where they'd post about the game development, the artists expressed a desire to move Sonic's mouth to the side of his muzzle to be more in line with his CGI renders. It was in due part as well to make in-game cutscenes look as inseparable as possible from the CGI cutscenes, and to make it look a bit more "cartoony".

The Sonic model in Brawl might have been partially provided by Sega since it looks similar to the Secret Rings models somewhat. I don't know if Sonic had any visible model featuring his mouth in that game though, but it might still have been based at a time when there wasn't a specific design-philosophy for where the mouth placement was.

Either way side-mouth = best imo. Sonic always looked like he had puffy cheeks whenever that front mouth was on display.

Planet Wisp, obviously.

And Levitating Ruins from Secret Rings

If they're going to include vocal themes, then they need to be the full songs this time around. Also, for the love of god, give Sonic a better theme than Seven Rings in Hand.

 

[Anth0ny]

alternate costume sakurai pls


i'm not about that modarn sanic

 

[Zonic]

Planet wisp please.

I would totally dig a remix that combines/transitions from Classic to Modern Planet Wisp's music from Generations. Or offer both as an option.

 

[Timeaisis]

Now we just need Snake back!

Spoiler

 

[SmithnCo]

All we need is a Namco character to join in with these icons.

Like... Uh.... Klonoa.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Also, I guess the music selection might change if they choose songs based on stages, rather than based on which game that stage is from.

I kind of hope they do this so we don't have another "every cute Kirby song plays on the Halberd" situation.

 

[leroidys]

At the rate that they've been announcing fighters, I wonder if the game is closer than we (I) think? Hoping for a late spring release now.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I wonder if Green Hill Zone will return as a classic stage.

 

[SuperSah]

I assumed this too since we got a flood recently.

Expect a giant drought soon.

 

[Shadow Hog]

I know we haven't seen much of the stage yet, but aside from some curviness, it looked pretty plain overall, didn't it?

Not that I mind. The idea of a tourney-legal Sonic stage is enticing.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

"Chill out, Samus! Everybody gets a bad game once in a while!"

Sonic knows dat feel sis.

 

[leroidys]

Pikmin 3 stage was in the clip too, by the way (probably mentioned already).

I really hope we don't lose the Brawl pikmin stage, it's one of my favorites.

 

[MisterLuffy]

Like... Uh.... Klonoa.

How about Simon Belmont?

Edit: nvm he's a Konami character.

 

[zroid]

How about Simon Belmont?

I can't tell if you're joking

 

[NotLiquid]

alternate costume sakurai pls


i'm not about that modarn sanic

Those hitboxes don't come cheap.

Best you can hope for is a Metal Sonic costume.

God I want a Metal Sonic costume.

 

[ffdgh]

You all will get sonic alts with different shades of blue and like it.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I want Fire Flower Peach to be an alt costume. dat ponytail

 

[Sponge]

The soundtrack is gonna be amazing.

They have a lot of good tracks to pull from like Colors, Generations and now Lost World.

 

[SuperSah]

But I hate Sonic music. It's so trashy.

Really? How about this?

 

[Shadow Hog]

Also, outside of Sonic, they've got all of Mega Man to pull from, Xenoblade, and (assuming Snake comes back) Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance...

More than just one remix, and something that isn't by Jun Senoue pls.

Bring Fumie Kumatani if you need a Sega/Sonic composer. She's boss.

Beneath all the trashy Sonic music, there's some gems.

 

[Revven]

I really dislike how they kept both spins. I understand they are different mechanically but the animations aren't easy to tell at a glance.

Yes, both spins were shown in the reveal trailer and it's a miracle I can tell but seriously either Sakurai is creatively bankrupt on the character or it's SEGA/Sonic Team's wishes. =\

 

[SuperSah]

Really? How about this?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9z3bK1nQ_Y

Beneath all the trashy Sonic music, there's some gems.

The vast majority of it is terrible, but there are a few decent ones.

 

[Spinluck]

But I hate Sonic music. It's so trashy.

I'll give you most of the ones with words and shit.

But you are terribly wrong to include the franchise in its entirety. There's better music in Sonic than most of the franchises that'll appear in this game.

 

[Valjean Lafitte]

Due to unforeseen moe in Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, another Neoriceisgood avatar has been abandoned and is now up for grabs to whoever wants it:

sonic with kirby for his eyes

You're going to make me post this, aren't you.

 

[Sponge]

As long as they don't pull too much from Adventures through Sonic 06 we should be good.

 

[zroid]

I'm not even a Sonic fan at all, but the Genesis Sonic games have some of the best soundtracks in the medium.

 

[SuperSah]

As long as they don't pull too much from Adventures through Sonic 06 we should be good.

Let's hope Sakurai's taste in track selection has increased.

Too bad there's no chance of that song, or almost any of the Sonic 3 songs besides the few that Jun Senoue wrote appearing in Smash.

 

[Sponge]

Considering Sonic Heroes was in that trailer, I don't know if we're safe or not.

 

[SuperSah]

Slighty off-topic:

Despite being a bit bummed by no 3DS footage today or more Sonic shots, after playing the AA5 demo which uses outlines similar to Smash, I have high hopes. The models in AA5 are rich and as colourful as hell, and the outlines make quite the impression. I'm pretty excited again for Smash.

 

[Shadow Hog]

Bullshit. Series has pretty much consistently had the best overall soundtrack in the entire industry, spanning tons of genres and faltering only a few times.

Not as huge a fan of the vocal songs, admittedly, and Senoue's guitar-heavy music wore thin pretty quickly, but the other instrumentals are always top-notch.

I think its the reverse in sonic's case.

I can listen to the sound track in almost every sonic game.

Almost, sonics price for having so many kick ass sound tracks, is that the bad ones are utter shit

 

[A Pretty Panda]

I play Sonic for the music.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

There better be some Sonic Colors songs added in.

 

[Green Starman]

Sonic confirmed, aw SNAPH MY BODY WAS NOT READY!!! D:

I guessed this is your first post. After a few months you will expect Nintendo to buy Apple, Microsoft and Sony on every Nintendo Direct. And of course a Ridley&Kraid reveal.

I'm starting to think that nintendo is going to buy disney today, is that normal?

But I hate Sonic music. It's so trashy.

But THIS SONG, I didn't liked ''Reach to the Stars'' at first but after hearing to this I even like the original version.

Also thanks to everyone for the warm welcome

 

[R0ckman]

Wasn't necessarily posting it for Smash's sake. It was mostly a response to saying most of Sonic's music is "trashy".

In between the Adventures and Sonic 06 was probably the weakest phase for the franchise musically. But even in that time period you can find gems. Besides that, pure gold. Say what you want about Sonic Unleashed but that game had an AMAZING soundtrack and everything that followed was pretty good. Sakurai has a lot to choose from this time. I hope he doesn't goof this time.

Angel Island Remix was nice, but he just chose some original Genesis pieces with some of the Rock Cheese Sonic tracks. Hope that isn't the case for this. Although I hope he includes City Escape just so I can sing along with all my friends and fam while playing lol.

 

[MrSaturn99]

I've never even played Sonic Chronicles, but that song gets me every time.

also that sonic omochao is terrifying

It's not bullshit if it's an opinion!

But yes, some of the older music was great, back in Genesis territory, but modern Sonic music is ass, full stop for me.

WAT? Man please you crazy. Sonic 06 was was....1 2........15th worst game I ever played that that sound track was beast.

There were a lot of shit games, sound tracks nah dude.

I hope all the sonic songs are modern in smash 4.

That's Bioware's fault for sure.

That games wins at having the worst soundtrack imaginable.
