We can end the debate from two weeks ago or so - Donkey Kong in SSB (why did we debate that in the first place lol) is definitely based on the (CGI) anime and not on the games.

That Eddie the Yeti alt only happened in the anime, not in the games :3

LMAO!

That fucking show, I swear

edit: oh god it's stuck in my head

 

[The Captain]

If only the show had songs as good as this one.

 

[theprodigy]

lol at this "everything is based off the anime not the games" joke

 

[Pyrokai]

No wonder we only get jungle-themed DK stages -_-

 

[The Captain]

Can anyone link me to a place where there are full renders for each of the alternate colors? (Full bodies, no cutoffs)

 

[Sponge]

I haven't seen those, honestly.

 

[The Captain]

I haven't seen those, honestly.

I remember seeing an Imgur link where people took the full renders from the game (how unannounced characters got their renders released) and I also saw male/female variants and the JP/US colors for R.O.B., so I assume the renders for each character color are out there.

If anyone can link me to a place with pretty complete renders of each color, that would be fine too.

 

[Mistle]

every clip i see from the CG DK show is hilarious. especially the songs. holy shit hahahaha

 

[theprodigy]

huh I can't find the link for it....

 

[Neiteio]

Best DK is pink DK, clearly based on Booster from Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Jingle All the Way"

How many Wii U pics are you guys expecting this week?

 

[DICKS AHOY]

How many Wii U pics are you guys expecting this week?

Possibly a proper look at the Assault and XY stage, another veteran stage and some insight into the 'Wii U' button on the 3DS version over the next fortnight, but nothing else really.

hey that's cheating, I said one not two weeks!

One if we're lucky.

none
because sakurai has gone insane

It still bothers me his white alt didn't get a blue tie. That would have made it actually based on something.

 

[PreyingShark]

5.

The catch is that only the last one of the week will tell us something we didn't already know.

 

[Neiteio]

One if we're lucky.

Sakurai is going to show a DKC super-stage for the WiiU version called Crocodile Isle, which starts out on a Gangplank Galleon the size of Hyrule Temple, with fighting on the shipdeck and on the riggings and mast and below deck in the flooded cargo hold, and then transitions to Krazy Kremland with the rollercoaster tracks and statue supports in the middle, with skull-cart stage hazards whizzing by, and bramble thickets to the left side of the stage, and a beehive with fadeaway cross-section walls, Tomodachi-style, on the right, and then this transitions to Gloomy Gulch, with Squitter running around in the background spinning temporary web platforms in the foreground, as players fight in the moonlit fog and spirits flit in and out of the wilderness, all before rewinding back to Gangplank Galleon.

Also, Dave Wise composes new arrangements of the entire DKC2 soundtrack for this stage, backed by a full orchestra.

*dreamy sigh*

aww your old avatar was better


also I have to say, the current thread pace feels like the threads back in the day lol

 

[Gonzo The Great]

I thought we established that Sakurai doesn't give a shit about Donkey Kong.

 

[PreyingShark]

aww your old avatar was betterl

Hmm, true, but I made one that I think is better than both:

 

[theprodigy]

Hmm, true, but I made one that I think is better than both:

I think you should post that in the other thread so ffdgh can see it

 

[NeonZ]

He finally gave him his roll though.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I thought we established that Sakurai doesn't give a shit about Donkey Kong.

If we're going by costume quality to denote how much Sakurai likes a series, he must absolutely adore Metroid and hate Sonic and Pac Man.

 

[The Captain]

So I've been looking through some of the alternate colors to see which ones I recognize - and for some others, the ones I don't.

All right, this first one is Zelda, I'm pretty sure it's based off of Toon Zelda (AKA the best Zelda design):

And then to match, here's Sheik with some Tetra coloring (though it also may just be another America theme):

This one is pretty clearly based off of Pig Ganon:

Some of Captain Olimar's/Alph's alternate colors.
Louie (Pikmin 3 design)

-----

Captain Charlie

-----

Brittany

-----

Classic Olimar

-----

Why they ignored adding the President's colors is beyond me.

Ones I'm still not sure about:
I think it's supposed to be a retro color scheme (like the ones for NES and SNES games) but I can't quite place it.

This one really bothers me. It seems really familiar, but I'm not sure if I'm confusing it with Link's sprite in Link to the Past.

 

[KLatin Scelus]

I GOT IT!!!

Sakurai hates Pirates!

That explains King K. Rool & Ridley's situation.

 

[Neiteio]

Are there any high-quality versions of Bowser's official Smash render that have been edited to depict him in his green colors? I love his green alt.

 

[theprodigy]

Robin/Lucina got lots of nice colors

 

[Neiteio]

This one really bothers me. It seems really familiar, but I'm not sure if I'm confusing it with Link's sprite in Link to the Past.

That Bowser color evokes the final Bowser in SM64 for me (what a lot of people call "Gothic Bowser," where he's covered in rainbow hues), but it's not an exact match by any means.

Blonde hair, pink dress Zelda is OoT Zelda.

Pirate Ship

 

[Drago]

Yeah, Lucina honestly may have my favorite set of alt colors of all the characters.

 

[KLatin Scelus]

Pirate Ship

Damn, shot down my theory in 2 words...

 

[The Captain]

Blonde hair, pink dress Zelda is OoT Zelda.

But don't we already have Ocarina of Time Zelda?

 

[Beelzebufo]

But don't we already have Ocarina of Time Zelda?

I think that's just purple Zelda? Since she's not wearing Pink. Did an older Zelda have purple with blonde hair?

 

[InvincibleAgent]

But don't we already have Ocarina of Time Zelda?

Purple dress would be TP.

 

[The Captain]

I think that's just purple Zelda? Since she's not wearing Pink. Did an older Zelda have purple with blonde hair?

Well this is supposed to be based off of Ocarina of Time, right?

Purple dress would be TP.

Twilight Princess Zelda is a brunette, and the default option.

 

[InvincibleAgent]

Well, the purple one is clearly darker than the default, whereas the pink one is clearly lighter. Zelda didn't have a dark purple dress in OoT. She had a pink dress as a child, a pink dress as an adult, and those are the only non-Sheik outfits she wore.

 

[theprodigy]

TP Zelda is best Zelda, just saying

 

[Green Mamba]

Blonde hair, pink dress Zelda is OoT Zelda.

Zelda has two alternates that have blonde hair.

It's not readily apparent from the render, but in game the first one, the one in the middle, looks an awful lot like Zelda as she appears in Ocarina of Time 3DS, where her dress is more of a shade of royal purple than pink.

The one on the right I'm thinking is supposed to be Melee Zelda, where it was more bright pink.

Though it could be Toon Zelda.

Yeah, but she's blonde in the dark purple dress, which means she isn't just a color variant of Twilight Princess Zelda. Is there another blonde Zelda she's based off of?

TP Zelda is best Zelda, just saying

In terms of design, it's Toon Zelda, then Twilight Princess, then everybody else.
In terms of character, it's Spirit Tracks Zelda.

This right here is what I mean. Though the brighter hair makes me think Toon Zelda.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Melee zelda is oot zelda

 

[theprodigy]

hey guys let's discuss which Lucina alt is your favorite

 

[InvincibleAgent]

Oh I didn't know 3DS Zelda had her dress color changed. Odd.

And yeah, Melee Zelda is based off OoT Zelda.

hey guys let's discuss which Lucina alt is your favorite

Green hair, green outfit.

 

[Beelzebufo]

hey guys let's discuss which Lucina alt is your favorite

The Cordelia one! I really like how the red hair and white clothes make her stand out. The Cherche one is good too.

 

[KLatin Scelus]

Tharja

 

[Green Mamba]

Melee zelda is oot zelda

Yes, but Ocarina of Time 3D Zelda is slightly redesigned and has a dress of a darker shade of purple.

This, the darker one, I'm almost 100% certain is supposed to be Zelda from Ocarina of Time 3DS.

This could be many things, I'm leaning on Melee/original Ocarina of Time colors. Or, it could be Toon Zelda. Who knows.

EDIT: That said, the two alts that bother me the most are the aforementioned dull blue Toon Link and the pink-haired Bowser. They look really specific and I'm very certain they're supposed to be based on something but I've never seen a satisfactory answer. That pink-haired Bowser especially, what's up with that one?

 

[The Captain]

Side-by-side:

While not nearly as purple as the one on the bottom, Ocarina of Time Zelda still matches the bottom one more in terms of hair color and dress color.
