Well, I got stuck in the loop where I just beat spider boss and finally arriving at Gaur Plain repeatedly so I can't help you there.
I'm really glad that they went with Gaur Plain for Smash 4 since it's so gorgeous location in Xenoblade so far.
Also Gaur Plain is a quite importance location for Shulk and franchise because the location actually representing the beginning of their adventure together for a greater destiny.

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
Welp, time to buy that new 3DS so I can play this game too.
*Backlog intensifies*
Guar Plains is an amazing choice for a level in smash. My greedy ass wants more though as usual, lol. There are even more amazing looking locations throughout the story later on.
Getting groundhog day'd on my 25th birthday sounds like the weirdest fate ever.

Anyone else reading the tips? There's an awful lot of detail going into it.
Gaur plains is great. Loved that music.
And I love that it has a great view of the Mechonis in Smash. Helps showcase the unique setting. I was kinda hoping the Smash stage would be on the
sword
I really liked
Eryth Sea
mechanical areas
(spoilers are just mentions of locations, nothing important. Still, can't be too careful.)

I would have preferred Eryth Sea as a Smash level. Not only is it one of the best looking areas in the game, but it would have made sense from a functionality perspective within Smash, given that it has those floating islands.

Except for a brief Gaur Plains arrangement in the trailer, all of the Xanoblade music so far in Smash 4 has been ripped.

Happy Birthday to our dear Samurai YoYoPixie boy! I hope that you would enjoy your day today!
The Wii U Xenoblade stage is one occasion where a traveling stage would have really been merited; especially with weather and time changes incorporated. Traveling from sunrise on the beach of the
Fallen Arm up through Mechonis Field and Agniratha and terminating at Egil's boss chamber with the view of the Mechonis and Bionis at sunset
So, there was a new arrangement in the trailer but not in the game? Lame. Could this, maybe, be because Shulk was a more recently added character?

We're getting close, yet seem to still be so far away.

So who's trying to get smacked around online with me and Duck Hunt next friday??
I'd doubt it highly, he's a character that'd require a lot of work to fit in.

Might be in the Wii U game, it will have more Xenoblade music possibly including some new arrangements.
That was kind of strange. Unless the arrangement itself was only finished after the 3DS game was certified, and may be replaced with the new one via patching, I can't see why they wouldn't include the new arrangement of a theme for a stage shared with the Wii U version.
A cool traveling Xenoblade stage would start in Colony 9 and then take you on a platform across Gaur Plain, Colony 6, Satorl Marsh and Makna Forest (complete with view of waterfalls). Then it would ascend every floor in Frontier Village (my favorite location) before passing through Eryth Sea and settling on one of the floating islands. Then it would make detours to Alcamoth and Prison Island before continuing to the Valak Mountains and through Sword Valley to Galahad Fortress, before plummeting to Fallen Arm and working its way back up through Mechonis Field, etc.
So yeah, nearly every location in the game, lol.

Totally. Sakurai should do it purely for the lols. Come on, Sakurai?? Y U NO GOKU?
Yeah, sounds like he would be. Still, I could see other newcomers having a larger priory than him.
Right, the Wii U version, yeah. I was just wondering why they included the original version of the song over a new version of it.
I'm probably thinking this was the reason, too.
Yeah I agree it looks incredible! Its my second favorite location, but I agree it's definitely the most iconic.
I don't think DBZ would have taken off if it was an office sitcom.
Very much agreed. I need it in my life!
Honestly, I just think it's Sega being difficult again. Pac-man on the other hand has benefitted from being from the developers. I mean two unique stages and even a reference in another stage.
Going through the Mechonis would be easier due to its more segmented areas, but flying off the outside of the Bionis or moving through its interior could work as a transition for a traveling stage as well. I'm imagining Junks and High Entia ships would probably be the main platforms in both instances, perhaps using
Meyneth's anti-gravity powers
Uhhh....how does Falco sound? I hope this doesn't intrude in the NDA.

I'm certain we'll have both the Gaur Plains arrangement and the original in the Wii U version of the stage.

After a re-read it says I can't mention anything in "coverage" of the game, but I think I should still be safer than sorry. So... Fa-who know? Never heard of him! (NDA expires earlyish next Thurs. night, not that that helps a lot -_-)

probably late to the party but it's interesting that when a character is giant all of his projectiles become giant too now. I don't know if that was always the case but I just watched a giant Villager plant a giant sapling, and when I watered it with my own Villager the thing was taller than the highest platform in battlefield! damn yo

Brawl! I like a lot of 3DS compositions but I'm really bothered by their quality. I'm no music buff by no means but they sound too compressed for me, recorded at a low bitrate or something. One way or another, they could sound better but they don't. It's not hardware either, as I far prefer FE:A's Id (Purpose) to Smash 3DS incarnation even if for the most part they are the same song.

That's how it is right now. The fact that this is the case right now doesn't mean that the need to take the audience when into account, to the extent that they matter more than the players themselves, isn't a problem. Especially when talking an audience who wants hype and has little interest in what actually goes on during a match. We're mostly talking about people who get bored of anything that isn't constant rushdown, whine constantly about lack of character variety regardless of it being the case or not and care more about narratives involving the players themselves. The game itself is not the focus. That's the problem with this audience having a say in anything and being a factor in how games are designed.
Pursuing growth at all costs isn't necessarily worth it.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who has noticed that Smash 3DS's music sounds really low quality compared to what we've heard on consoles over the years.

Probably because the amount of stuff they are cramming onto the cartridge.
Then again if it is only 1.1GB you would think they would have that extra space to work with.

I chalked that up to compression and some tuning for the 3DS's funky speakers. A legit OST release should sound miles better.
It's pretty bad from headphones as well imo

Should have included an option to turn off the 3DS speaker tuning like FE:A.
Does the full game have compressed music/sound like the demo? Crap...
Solid Samus

holy shit. I just tried that and man this game sounds kinda real bad through headphones. But that's what I mean, I think these songs might have been put through some filter that exaggerates highs and neuters lows, to work well with the 3DS's tiny little tinny speakers. I'm probably wrong though.
I hadn't considered that maybe it's because I'm playing the demo but the recordings from the full game hardly sound any better...
oh. that's actually a thing?
sweet. my asspull is vindicated
