Penfold Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Anyone else noticing that Snake is pretty much getting the shank here?Codycrusader made a post that reminded me of a conversation I had with a friend about a few weeks ago. I joked saying that Snake is just a cameo character and will have nothing to do with the Subspace Emissary, but now I am thinking that that might be true. I'd guess that in classic Nintendo fashion they're just saving more info with him till later, since he's such a big deal. It'd be dumb IMO to have him in there but then not be a part of what seems like their focus this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baleshadow Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Snake will probably fit into Subspace Emissary easily. He is, after all, a character that comes from a more-or-less sci-fi setting, and we've got plenty of those in Samus, Fox, and Falcon (who I think is almost certainly returning). He won't be out of place at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codycrusader Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I'd laugh, but at the same time be crushed, if Snake was just used as an attention whore to get MORE people to buy the game. But they wouldn't need Snake, they could put the game out with only half of the original characters and sell more than Melee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friendlyHunter Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I still think it's possible that they're not doing updates for some of the secret (i.e. unlockable) characters. That's probably why metaknight and Snake aren't up there yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastertoku Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 This is just a question that occurred to me, but which franchises in Melee had more than two characters from the series on there? The only ones I can seem to think of right now are their flagships (Mario, Zelda & Pokemon). Do you suppose that they'll be including more characters per series this time around, or just spreading it out thinner so that there's still about the same amount of characters per franchise, except more franchises? Just a thought, mind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iggy Enigma Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Tiny is not a replacement for Dixie - they are separate characters, and will both appear in DK Barrel Blast. Really? Cool. Did not know that. And apparently people will take me up on the Forward-B thing. It would work for Running-A too, I just see it as a Forward-B because it's one of his signature moves. He needs all the signature moves he can, as he doesn't have many. The orange bomb would be fun... as long as it can't be used too many times in rapid succession. We'll just see when it comes out, no?

Kinda off topic here, but in Mario Strikers on Wii when you play as Peach, when ever she's gets done falling outta the sky, does it sound like she says Princess Bitch, or is it just me?

Paratha Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I hope that his Final Smash would be the electric guitar =) More like, the boom box! Or, going back to DKC 1, he throws his hat on the floor and jumps on it, triggering shock waves that send opponents flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steben Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 So, all this talk of the Subspace Emissary. Am I the only one who's getting flashbacks of Super Mario Bros. 2/USA? I know this is totally not likely. But. I think it'd be pretty cool if at the ending of the Subspace Emissary adventure mode, we find out that Wart is behind the Ancient Minister's plots. He's tired of always being overlooked over the past two decades, while Bowser gets all the credit. Hey, until December, I can dream, right?

Inimitable Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Ooh, two updates. Though Yoshi's Final Smash seems a little... Not-Yoshi-ish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobocop Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 What the hell, they have the characters singing at the end? :S How am I supposed to not laugh while playing this level now? I knew this update would pale in comparison to yesterday's, although I find the music rather fitting. Hopefully Yoshi will be able to spit out more than just fire though.

Global-Trance Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 At first it didn't seem very Yoshi-ish but it totally is. It's like when Yoshi has a rainbow flashing shell in his mouth in Super Mario World... but where is the tremor ability when he jumps and lands on the ground..?

Strike911 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 OMG!!!!!!111 I was just playing through Super Mario World!!!!!!!! That is awesome that they're giving the nod back to the game of his origin!!!! _^__^_^ I love it when they do crap like that! Of course, his wings and fire are WAAAY more epic than they were in Super Mario World!!! Insanely awesome! I'm REeeeeally liking the music for Smashville btw. Very cool! It's got a real old school western vibe. Real cool. I'm very satisfied with this update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eulogic Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 What the hell, they have the characters singing at the end? Never played Animal Crossing, huh? That is K. K. Slider singing. I'm wondering if the instrumental version plays usually, but K. K. Slider starts singing from 8pm-midnight on Saturday nights (hence what he means by "Heroes always arrive late").

Jam Stunna Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Cool song. And I know my wife will love to see Yoshi with wings, although I was hoping for a Yoshi stampede Final Smash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobaltstarfire Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I like the nod they do back the SMW with Yoshi, it's very exciting, I wonder how powerful those fireballs will end up being, and if he'll make little sand cloud from jumping or not... The KK Slider sound bit is the only one I've liked so far, I can't wait to hear it in Brawl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Falling Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I think I'm at that point now where I have enough info on the game, yet can't help but want to know more of the small things. We're getting real close to spoiler territory (if not there already)and I really don't want to know too much else regarding new characters and all. I just can't stop watching anyway ;_; The past updates have been really cool btw. Doesn't Yoshi also have these wings in the new Mario Strikers when he does his special thingy?
