Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 7: How Can My Smash Brother Be This Cut

I've been trying to think of canonically suitable Final Smashes for Sheik and Zero Suit Samus, but I'm coming up short. I really don't think Sheik is going to have the Light Arrow now that she's separated from Zelda, and ZSS needs a new Final Smash for obvious reasons.

I like how it's actually the recruitment theme rather than the real Fire Emblem theme.

The main theme kicks in around 3:00.

I stand by my TP Zelda opinion. Girl's boring in pretty much every way (not actively bad, just boring, and that makes her one of the worst because it feels like they didn't even try).

Sheik is going to go to the front of the screen with a shoulder mounted canon and shoot grenades at people

Maybe Fox can have his Star Fox 64 look as an alternate costume, like in Project M.

Nintendo seems to want to move past that.

personally i am for it since most old foxes look like dogs so, whatever.

I would like a han solo -esque alt for fox

A mass effect -esque alt for falco

And a fist of the north star-esque alt for wolf

It will never happen, but it would be cute if it did.

I think GameXplain mentioned this recently, but I hope ZSS uses her ship in someway. It's too obvious to not make use of it in Smash somewhere, and since it hasn't been a stage yet...

Zero Suit Samus could get the Crystal Flash without the whole regaining suit feature. Sheik though, she's hard.

That;s not very contreversial

Even WW Zelda couldn't stand near the heights of Tetra. I dislike her because right after she transforms Zelda apologizes. Im yelling at the screen saying "stfu, this isn't what Tetra would do. Damn it, stop apologizing"

She was good near the end though

Pretty sure its near unanimously agreed that Spirit Tracks had the best Zelda by far, although Skyward Sword Zelda was pretty good too

Ummmm.... I'm not sure how I should break this to you.

That some of the old art wasn't good so the old fox model looked more like dogs more specifically corgis than an actual fox. Yes yes I know, I know about animals and how to draw them and how to make them look like the animal in which you want them to look like.

I don't know how to break to you, but the old fox models/art were SHIIIIT, IMO anyway.

For weird reason, I would find it hilarious if both of characters would get same final smash from Brawl.

that's good one but I hope not. :p
 
Hopefully people will realize this along with realizing that Metroid: Other M is the best Metroid game.

HE's not saying its the best Zelda game, he's saying the Zelda in thaat Zelda game is the best Zelda in any Zelda game
And for those that have played Spirit Tracks, that's not really a controversial statement
 
Melee's Fox model is the only thing about Melee that's objectively better.
It's a shame they're not using Fox's model from SF64 3D:

It's weird that Falco is named after a falcon when he's obviously supposed to be a pheasant.

Snark value shouldn't be counted when deciding on the best Metroid game.
 
The series would probably be a lot more popular if they just renamed it and the titular character to StarCorgi.

>_>

Corgis do look a little bit like foxes when it comes to their facial structure. Fox's face mask also looks a lot like a corgi's. That said, the SF643D/Melee designs all look significantly more like a fox, color scheme notwithstanding.
I absolutely loathe the balloon heads they got with Command and continued with in Brawl and now Smash 4.

Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Yabuki turned off voice chat in Mario Kart races. True artists of their time.
I like Brawl more than Melee, but I prefer Melee's Fox design 100%.

You have to be joking. Seriously. Did you not see all the pre-brawl give him his sword topics and comments? He gave the fans what they wanted right? Ridley in Smash and in battle? Sure! Surprise! Its still trolling with bad results.

Not following every single fan wish doesn't mean that he's "trolling". Sakurai has no record of teasing something only to go all "nope" a long time afterwards.
 
I don't really have any preference for Fox's designs one way or the other, but Falco's Brawl design is far better than his Melee design.

I also definitely support them rebooting the franchise into Star Corgi, starring Corgi McCloud.
Yup, and Other M is still the best Metroid game.
You must really hate Metroid games.

Pretty sure he meant the character Zelda

No, I meant that dogs and foxes are both canids and share various similarities.

And if you know how to draw animals, you'd know that the current design doesn't have enough of a long angular face to accurately portray a fox, either, so none of them really "look like foxes", hence my previous comment that he currently looks like a Muppet.

Fox isn't that different. They just added an absurd amount of detail to him.

There are things I love and hate about both designs though.

I think you've never seen Bolt, then.

That Fox looks like a (stylized) fox. It certainly looks more like a fox than the Brawl/Smash 4 design:

It seems we finally agree on something other than how awesome a certain Ghouls n Ghosts character is, huh?

You're nuts if you don't like that design. Come on. It allows Fox to be cocky and confident as hell while the current Fox design makes him look cowardly and cute. It's horrible.

Smash 64 art is that fine line between "I'm trippin' BALLS son" and amazing. I kinda wish if they had gone with the idea of visualized onomatopoeia that they used in some of the box art in game though. I blame my love of things like most Gainax anime and Jojo's for that though. :p

Brawl Fox isn't so bad, but Smash 4's tweaks to the design and color scheme make it muuuuuuuch better.

I never said It looks exactly like a fox, what I did was was

1) SSBB and 4 fox look more like foxes than OG and 3d fox

And
2) I don't need the " i hate to break it to you " I know what a fox looks like. i think new fox hits the mark more .
