I mean, honestly, when it comes to Pokémon music, nothing beats the first theme of the show, but you only hear that music 8 times, and it's hours apart. The title screen music is there every time you turn on the game, and I'd argue it's more memorable as a result.
And true, but the Melee fanfare was the main theme, and it's the GOAT fanfare.
Either way, the only fanfare I really dislike is Sonic's. I mean, I know it's a remix of the S3&K theme that should be used, but they're still using the 06 version 9 years later? Really? And, just like Villager, Mega Man gets a pass because the main theme worked perfectly for him.

It worked perfectly for her because you are already used to Villager's fanfare. It sounds pretty nice, I admit. But Mega Man's should have been something else.
Nice shitposting!
I mean, I think we all expected the Boss Clear theme after his reveal. That'd've worked just fine, too.

Speaking of Pokemon, how come we can't get some anime music 
Little known thing about the anime, but they basically have full orchestrated versions of every song that's ever existed in the games.
Or let the king have his theme song
Oh look

Yeah I'm surprised Megaman's theme isn't Weapon Get.
As for AC, they could have used the completion jingle.

in my ideal world every victory theme would be an actual victory theme
mario maker was much better with selection than smash imo

Precisely. Unless the game doesn't have a victory theme.
Every character should have their own victory theme (which may or may not be an actual victory theme, where applicable). If I wasn't at the office I'd totally write up a list for all of 'em.
Still amused at Wario's theme being from a then-unreleased game, and from his sub-franchise that's referenced the least in Smash, to boot.

Sinnoh Champion music is commonly remixed. Kanto's is too but is only really heard by the actual World Champion and runner up.
Compared to the Sinnoh Champion one which has appeared in several games as well as having this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkhOikfcqDg

Because we needed a new D/P wild Pokemon remix despite one already existing that was better than the new remix.

I finished updating the sprites for all the regular smash fighters.
Might post a proper comparison of the old and new sprites later.
for those curious about the changes you can find the old ones in this pic: http://neoriceisgood.deviantart.com/art/SSB4-DLC-533458837

I want some Pokemon chip tunes
How come one of the most well known battles of the entire series is only part of an ancient remix medley

I'm still really confused by Wario's jingle. It's assumed to be based on the Shake It! song, but it also shows up in Kentaro Ishizaka's Waluigi's Pinball remix, arranged in the style of WarioWare. Why would Ishizaka include a flourish from 2008's Shake It! in a song he made back in 2006/07? For that matter, why would Sakurai choose a song from an unreleased Wario Land to represent WarioWare Wario? I feel like the flourish might have originated in one of the WarioWare games, but I'm not familiar enough with the series to identify it.

Wonder if this will turn out to be another chrom situation.....hmmm
Some of the original fanfares are worthwhile additions - Dark Pit and Shulk's in particular - but I would like it if more actual victory themes made it in. Character-specific fanfares would probably help a lot in that regard, especially if they resort to direct rips (as with Rosalina) for most of them.
Woah that video's cool.
And yeah I know they redo both themes in the pokemon games a lot, but I want the Kanto Champion theme redone for smash specifically. I'd love to hear what direction a smash composer could take that song in, it'd be so good.
It kills me that they could be bothered to re-remix a lackluster theme such as this yet couldn't rip any of the best BW2 songs...Colress, Iris, Ghetsis, SOMETHING.
Route 23 remix was nice but not as good as the Route 10 remix which really deserved it. I wish that could've been replaced with a remix of one of the above themes.
Rosalina's isn't a rip.

Coolest thing is that the guy on the keyboard is Pokémon series Director Junichi Masuda and also composed it.
They actually performed it live at Worlds 2011. It's an iconic track for sure.

HG/SS rips. Or even maybe a Gold/Silver remix...
Gold and Silver has one song in Smash. ONE. A medley of a couple battle themes that's existed since Melee. It was Pichu's theme, that's how old it is!

Really? I guess that makes it significantly less plausible, then.
Though if they continue to not update established fanfares with the next game, hopefully a few more existing characters will receive their own.
Mind freakin' blown, had no idea the jingle appeared in the remix. Awesome touch from Ishizaka. I thought the song may have had Ware origins also, but I've seen nothing on that front, and after 7 years of Brawl's release, you'd think something would have been discovered by now. It's a very oddball, random decision, which makes me love it all the more.
Everything about this post is wrong.
And the smash remix is probably the worst rendition of her theme yet.

This is actually more interesting than Inklings nonsense.
Because I have a hunch (along with a lot of people) that Tamaki's source is actually from Amazon, based on them selling DLC codes.
Amazon leaked the stage builder and master/crazy orders as well.

While I enjoy the music of Gen VI that were added, I am thoroughly miffed we didn't get the glorious Vs. Legendary theme or Vs. Elite 4. Or the Bike Theme, just for shits and giggles (easily the best Bike Theme).

Speaking of Tamaki, he was in the last Nintendo Week podcast. Nothing new, but from what he said the people at Nintendo are very impressed with Shovel Knight as a character. Supposedly they were the ones that approached YCG to make the amiibo and not backwards as had been assumed.
EDIT: Added a URL. The pertinent information is after the 42 minute mark.

So my prediction that "leakers don't know shit" holds true.

lol what if Nintendo buys Yacht Club Games, and SK becomes a first/second party character.
No longer would the "it's just an indie!" excuse apply.
Eh, Shovel Knight still seems entirely plausible.
At this point I'd be incredibly surprised if Inklings see the light of day this week.

Oh yeah, the Shovel Knight thing is still on, but Roger spewing nonsense that gets out of control sounds about right.
That said, is Tamaki still committed to Shovel Knight being revealed within the month? Because time's running out on that too.

Would be a very strange decision for them to get bought by Nintendo when they left WayForward due to the size of the company.
Still find it likely that we'll get both Shovel Knight and Inklings at some point due to Nintendo really wanting that longevity on the game with the former having some veritable sources implying something and the latter just being a given. I don't see anyone being "saved" for a Smash 5 as they're riding this train high.
Interesting that Tamaki knew about the Splatoon rumor though. How did we never notice those tweets?

Black Friday is a little over a month away. They have to have an announcement at some point.

Well yes, but I'm speaking directly about Tamaki's initial leak, that Shovel Knight was to be revealed within the next two months back in late August. What's the deal here? Was that actually part of the leak or was that his own prediction?

I mean, technically, we can still have a Splatoon Direct this week.
If they ship all the content tomorrow, they can unlock it whenever they want.
But seems extremely unlikely at this point, and I guess Roger's information was bad.
Did he specifically say two months or "a couple"
"A couple" is kind of loose, and there's some wiggle room for it to maybe go all the way to December.

It can be second-party just like Gamefreak. Though why would Nintendo want Yacht Club?
Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
GameFreak works on Pokémon almost exclusively. They may make a HarmoKnight or a Tembo every once in a while, but the point is that YCG left WayForward due to lack of freedom. WayForward used to work on lots of licenced games.

I'm generally pretty iffy on any rumor that claims to know when Nintendo intends to do anything. Even when everything seems to be lining up, they're completely unpredictable.
I think Tamaki's sources shrank down to one regarding Shovel Knight for Smash, I think most of the others were corroborating the amiibo.
In general I think the Shovel Knight stuff is a lot more substantial than Roger's nonsense but I'm still very skeptical. I think there are a few wires crossed here.
Yeah future content needs to be detailed for Splatoon I imagine since they really don't have much left, like, at all, except for a few weapons (which makes balancing so early rather suspect). Plus 23rd as a speculative announce date makes some sense since content rollouts go down on the weekends. It's going to get datamined either way but since they know this by now it makes little sense that they haven't capitalized on the details sooner.
That last part is especially a huge "why would Nintendo do that" to which the only sensible answer is; there really might not have been anything else to it. So really, I'm starting to doubt whether there will even be anything found in the update, and yeah as much as I feared, the info must have been wrong.
Maybe next time.
One of the things that keeps me up at night staring into the ceiling is knowing that they could have used this track in one of the levels.
And they didn't.

I loved the part where the only new Metroid Prime song they included in the game was from Hunters and then they included two songs(?) from Other M that weren't the Ridley theme. Also, Metroid Prime 3 having no music at all is the greatest and not at all a horrible miscalculation.
EDIT: Also, they removed one of the four Metroid Prime songs from Brawl (and it was the best one?!).
