  1. Nah, I think Sakurai just means Diddy'll move like a typical, agile, little monkey. Awkward compared to other characters I guess.

    As for Snake, I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't involved with the adventure mode. It might be a Nintendo only thing.

  2. Yeah, I didn't actually change the arrangement thats why you can't see a difference. Just technical things.

    About not recognising the Gravity beetle tune... its probably 'cause its a much slower tempo, with notes taken out and changed. I thought it would be good to make it fit with the genre more. Its a remix after all.

    As for percussion, I really don't have any other samples for jazz on the keyboard. I'm gonna to figure out another of improving them. Any suggestions anyone?

  3. Update. I've just done some basic things to improve the sound of the sax and increased the volume of the electric piano that plays the melodies for the first half of the song. Makes a significant difference though. Gives more "energy" to the song

    I'll look into improving percussion for the next update although thats definitely one of my (and my keyboard's) many weaknesses.

    Hmmm, I'm surprised you can't pick out the source tunes.

    Blizzard Buffalo stage: 0:00 - 0:42 and again at 2:22 - 2:32

    Gravity Beetle stage: 0:49 - 1:50

    Zero's theme (very different, though): 3:09 - 3:49

    Not sure how I can make them more obvious besides the Zero theme.

  4. Man, I suddenly really want Young Link back in the game again. Imagine Fierce Deity as his Final smash. It would mean someone else besides Bowser could have a transformation.

    His chances are extremely low though. If they're gonna have another version of Link it'll probably be the Windwaker/Phantom hourglass verion.

  5. This is one step closer to an all-star Nintendo rpg. You know, similar to Kingdom hearts but Nintendo instead of Disney.

    Seriously though, I'm really interested in seeing how they incorporate character's past history into this mode. This makes me even more certain that characters like King Dedede and Starwolf will be in the game, since their important to their rival's backstory.

  6. uhhh I'm sure there are plenty of things you can do to improve this. The intro really doesn't make any musical sense even under the pretense of it being "jazzy". You have a ride playing a swing rhythm that no other instrument seems to follow, even the rest of the drum kit, which seems to be playing a sort of hip-hop beat. The piano and the lead seem to be playing in two different keys. And you have instruments panning all of the place in a way that doesn't really make sense (the sax). This isn't a solo piano piece, the piano should be in one place and stay there (in the intro the lower notes are panned to the left and the higher notes are panned to the right but after that the entire piano is panned to the right?)

    The parts after the intro sound much better, though they feel just as aimless. There isn't really a sense of one part beginning and another part ending, one just bleeds into the other. Also the comping is pretty weak. And you have too many instruments playing over top of each other so it is hard to tell which one is supposed to be followed. One thing you could work on is the drums, instead of having them just play a single looping pattern, make them actually play along with the music. Use fills to lead into the different sections, etc. I'm not going to go on about sample quality because I think you should work on the composition first...

    I was hoping for a reply like this since I had no clue what to do next. Now I've got lots to do. Thanks, I'll take my time and try and sort things out.

  7. You say you want to add other Zelda songs to this. I already here the Stone tower theme from Majora's mask in there a bit at the beginning at 0:19 to 0:24 and then at 0:38 to 0:43. You probably have no idea what I'm talkin about...

    Great feel you've got going in this song. Minuet of the forest was one of my least favourite ocarina songs but you've made something great out of it.

  8. Sorry guys, I've recieved a personal email from Sakurai himself telling me not to make any more predictions. Ruins the surprise.

    I will say this about final smashes though. The Pit idea above is probably right, Wario's will probably be Warioware based and Zelda may use some powerful magic spell. That is all.

  9. OMFG I want your future foreseing powers!

    Lol. I can't believe I got that prediction right. Me and Sakurai must think alike.

    Ganon being Ganondorf's final, would be equally sexy as people have said already. Are there any other characters that could have transformations? Can't think of any.
