Live and Learn is cool... I also liked Open your Heart. Mystic Cave Zone would be tight. lol. Any old school level redone with some new music would be awesome. But hey, any form of rock music in Smash Bros is welcome. That genre was sorely lacking from the smash series (with the exception of the Fzero levels). This update has made me a giddy fanboy... seriously. but the delay in Japan and the TBD for North America has made me a little sad since I wanted this game so badly in a month and a half. Man.... at least they're making sure it'll live up to all the hype they're creating... even if they have to delay it.

This is so freakin' exciting! It's like ... my little first grade fantasy came true 16 years later! Happy days my friends! Happy days! I'm just... in awe to see Sonic in motion in those videos. I mean, there was speculation, but seeing him in action is .... *jaw drops* I'm so excited.

oh man, so effing epic. So effing epic. This game will be incredible... Solid Snake, Link, Mario, and Sonic all in one game?! Amazing.

Yeah, I just babel fished it. Okay, so that worries me. So when Sakurai said he didn't want to do things that were Japan only anymore, does that mean the rest of the world isn't getting these songs in other regions? Or what? I guess we wouldn't appreciate it? But then again they did tell us about Lucas who, as of right now, is still a japan only character. I guess the DS Cooking thing was a little too japanese. Hm. I'd imagine all this music will be in the final release outside of Japan, but weird that he wouldn't just show it to everyone... again, nice find, sir. EDIT: haha, I have to put what the translation from BabelFish is... it's even funnier than some of Sakurai's things in real english. haha. The meat stops wanting to make... I think I'm going to say that to people from now on. EDIT AGAIN: HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA! The team entry when translated says this: this can be played chummily even with the sibling it rubbed. Hahahaha. ... sorry for offtopic, quieting down now. EDIT 3 LAST EDIT PROMISE!!!! I HAVE TO PUT THIS ONE! THE KIRBY TRANSLATION FROM JAPANESE TO ENGLISH SAYS THIS!!!!! HAHAHAHHAHAHA! The hat of the cock is worn! Hahahahahahahahahahaha. omg. omg. I so have to read all the japanese site translated to english from babelfish. hahahahaha.

dude, Eulogic, nice find!!!! I have no idea what song that is... I'd imagine it's from Kirby, but I don't know. Cool song. SAKURAI! He is discriminating against everyone that isn't japanese! *waves fist in the air* Haha. That's one crazy ass song though...

OMG! BEST SONG EVaRRR!!1!!!!!11 Hahahha! This totally fits with a Wario level. Seriously. The girls voice is annoying once you listen to it a while, but hey, still best song ever. Edit: Best song... kind of... I did like that MGS4 one... and .... the Zelda medley.

You know, I just came to another realization... one day, these updates will stop. I'm so used to being online at 2 in the morning and getting the update. What am I going to do? Sleep? I should start planning. Haha. I guess I'll be playing Smash Bros Brawl. Teehee.

I just came to the realization that if I want Smash Bros Brawl to have the same shock factor that I'm expecting, I'm going to have to stop looking at the Brawl updates. I'm already hyped about this game... seeing all these updates, listening to the music.... I'm going to have to go on lockdown and not view them soon so I'll be surprised by everything in the game (small and big).

Yeah, you could control Tails in S2. It wasn't technically an official co-op mode, but you could do it and help out your friend playing Sonic. Sonic 3 actually gave you a coop mode though. This is pretty exciting. I wonder what that crpytic last sentence means exactly. That sounds pretty cool. I wonder if you can customize characters, or level them up in single player, somehow. Hmm. Interesting.

Dayum!!! Fox's Final Smash is sweet.

wow! I really dig the pixel assist trophies. That's really hot!

bump! A few minor tweaks!! Just reporting progress. I should be getting some of the vocals recorded soon. What do you guys think?

OH MY GOD, I'M TOTALLY FANBOYING ALL OVER THE PLACe.... THIS UPDATE IS THE MOST AWESOME THING EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Campbell! Mei Ling! Otacon! They're all there! AND THE METAL GEARS! ZOMG!!!!111 AND THEY TALK ABOUT SMASH! It's my dream come true. Smash and MGS are my most favorite games ever and I'm having a splooge moment like right now.... awesome... just so awesome... <3

Are there any places selling new Wavebirds cheap? You know, retailers that haven't realized WaveBirds aren't obsolete yet. I know WalMart was selling corded GCN controllers pretty cheap... My Cube controllers are screwed, blued, and tatoo'd from close to 6 years of nonstop smash bros playing... DAMN MUSHY BUTTONS! GRAWR!

<3 this game. Been wanting it ever since I saw it previewing in Nintendo Power YEARS ago... saw a friend with a rom of it, but always wanted to play it on a real system. It's like StarFox and Gunstar Heroes mixed together. What's not to love?! That's right. Nothing. I love Treasure. I really do.

Neato. I wonder how this will work. If he may surpass even Ness, I doubt they'd remove or replace Ness. We have to find out if Lucas will surpass him (whatever surpassing entails... hopefully not replacing.) Anyway, if you ask me, Sakurai just confirmed Ness is in the game through his little comment. For one to surpass another, we'd have to have a confrontation... /my two cents

updated!!!! Tons of new stuff, it just needs to be mastered a little and I think I'll be more on track with it. go to my MySpace. It'll play automatically. better synths, fuller sound, longer, and a build up to the main theme. http://www.myspace.com/strike911 Edit: One minor update to the song now. I added a longer break a little bit of filtered drums, and another pad that really makes the melody sound much more full. I'm really liking how this one is turning out! Once the vocals are added in I think it will be killer.

@shadowolf Escape from New York was used a lot in MGS1... A LOT of references that Kojima has gone on record giving tribute to... after playing MGS1 go watch it. The little sub especially, a lot of scenes are tributes to the movie, snakes personage too, because Kojima was a fan. its hilariously awesome. Seriously, for a MGS fan its real cool. MGS2's Plissken was also a reference like you had up there. I dig it.

Okay, first of all, I'm sorry for essentially abandoning the internet. Second of all, I have a new WIP!!!!! It's very very early, and I just wanted to get my thoughts down into a file because I have been talking to a great vocalist that may be willing to lend her talents to this song. For those of you that don't know, this an early WIP of "The Best is Yet to Come" from Metal Gear Solid 1. You know, the real celticy theme. I swear, I'm going ti make this one real good. Promise. This is one of my most favorite themes in video games, so I have to do it justice. And... lastly, I cannot access my webserver for some reason so I have to resort to Myspace. . . . . *shudder* http://www.myspace.com/strike911 you shouldn't need an account or anything (I think), and it should play automatically. Sorry for myspace. I hate it personally!! OKAY! What do you think so far. I know its early, but again, it's just my ideas. It's not polished by any means and is only 30-40 seconds, but hey, its the "best is yet to come" with a dance beat; that's hella awesome right? Again, it's a early wip, idea mix. *crosses fingers* Anyway, what do you all think so far. The vocals will be there in all their airy Irish glory. The person I'm talking to (Ztrop, she used to frequent VGMix2 actually) said she's willing to do vocals. So ... this will be cool I think, and fun.

Thanks Global-Trance!! @DarkLink : If you look around the internet a little you can find some downloads. They're very good songs imo. Really? Everywhere I've been to has the same campus-wide policies for plagiarism where even copied sentences or phrases are considered plaigarism and are subject to student expulsion and possible legal action... (??) <offtopic> I'm so glad all my English courses are done with. F-you MLA, APA, Chicago Style and whatever the hell other styles there are. </offtopic> So I guess in this situation regarding Tappy's music, it's all a matter of intention ... (??) ... and that's ridiculously difficult to prove ... Hmm... well, I just wonder if we'll hear the theme in MGS4.

actually, you know, you have a point. I love MGS, and pretty much know the game and the story back and forth, but ... for the life of me cannot remember where the theme is in the original game... besides some of the trailers they released for it. @JackKieser Plagiarism is merely taking something and claiming it as your own. Now there's a gray area, but we just don't know if the Tappy was influenced by the song, or if he tried to pull a fast one. There is no denying the song is similar (Very very similar). I disagree with you though, I do think there are more than enough similarities to justify looking into the situation more. If you listen to the 'Troika' and 'Zimdor' (which essentially use the same themes, one is quieter than the other), you'll think it's a variant of the Metal Gear Solid music... I know I did the first time I heard it. I have these songs in hand, and they're ridiculously close to the MGS theme. At the very least it's worth looking into ...

I particularly like how he implies playing tournament mode for more than one minute is time wasting! *GIGGLE!* Hehehehehehehehe.

I certainly hope not. I don't imagine it would, because the MGS theme copied or not, will always be the MGS theme in my eyes. I have to many memories with that MGS series and that song, for it not to.

A lot of people have speculated that the reason we haven't heard the MGS theme for a while in the newer trailers or in Portable Ops was because of this, but that's just rumors. I remember hearing it in the original MGS4 trailer, but again, that was over a year ago... Additionally, in Smash Bros Brawl's website they premiered Snake's level music, the MGS4 Love theme, and not the classic Metal Gear Solid theme that we would expect to hear. I mean, clearly it may still be used, but still odd, which is just fueling the rumors. I do really wonder if Konami is phasing the song out and keeping it on the down low...

Yes, but to be fair, and this is just an observation, Nintendo has never capitalized on any game's having a robust online mode. Never. They've had it in there for a few games, but it's always been slim pickings. I'm cool with what they have in Brawl, I loved Mario Kart DS's online, but seriously, don't get your hopes up. Online aspects of companies slowly ramp up to get features like that, and Nintendo is hesitant to do that. Now if they prove me wrong and bring that stuff, then cool, but, honestly, I'll tell you why I don't think there will be leaderboards... firstly, there is no way of identifying a nickname, making it uniquely individual. The only thing that is unique to each player are the Friend Codes, which really, seeing a leaderboard of friendcodes is next to useless. There is no database with usernames to identify people with. Additionally, this lack of structure makes no sense to save virtually meaningless information in some database. Maybe it will save your stats to your local machine, but not online. The only way around this is if Nintendo makes a username/password system that is not friendcodes for Smash Bros Brawl, but lets face it, that isn't happening, because they've already said they're using friendcodes. Friendcodes are the worst thing to happen to Nintendo's online ideas. I have no idea why this company wouldn't just let people register a nickname and password like XboxLive or PlayStationNetwork... hell, keep the friendcodes for little kids that can't get mommy's permission to go online, but they need to give us nicknames and passwords so we can use some online functionality. XboxLive is great for what it does, but PSN is free, and still offers 1000 times more functionality than Nintendo has ever offered online. I don't get it how Sony can have a good online experience, while Nintendo refuses to come to bat. Anyway, long story short, my opinion is that it can't happen because Nintendo's online strategy (currently) is flawed. It can't happen, because trying to create a leaderboard without unique names is nonsensical. Oh look, 1234-1234-1234 is in first place. Oh, and 1455-2346-2346 is just three wins behind. You Tournament mode might have quick one-time rankings for the people that played offline though to show you the stats of everybody after the fact... but online? No.
