Hey guys, I haven't really been following this game much. Just stopping by here and there for the major updates. Can I ask a few questions?
Is all of the music from the game playable in the sound effects area? I think I'd pay the cost of the game just to be able to record a version of that Angel Island song.
How exactly does the campaign-type thing work? I thought you could pick a character to play through it with, but the Diddy Kong/Fox video I saw makes it seem like you get a choice between the characters in that chapter? And it's all one storyline? Like, those Kingdom Heart looking things come and everything plays off of that (Mario's world decaying, that Pokemon coming out of the ocean, etc.)?
Lastly, can you do online co-op with the campaign? How many players?
This game seems massive. I haven't played any Smash games besides the first one, but this one is definitely seeming like it's a must-have.

Yeah, I download YouTube videos all the time, but it still wouldn't be a playable MP3 and I'm not sure if those are banworthy. >_>Danthrax said:

Yes, once the music is unlocked, it can be played in the sound test.
You follow a story, but at certain points, you can choose which character to play as. As far as I know, it's a set story line with different stages and such.
No online co-op for SSE (the story mode). There is offline coop for it, though. 4 players online for battles. There is co-op Multiman and sandbag online, though. As well as various other things that use the WiFi connection.
Yes, all of the songs are available in the sound test and on the My Music Screen. Adventure is divided into stages where you pick between several characters in each section since it's one big story. You can do co-op with two players, but it is not online.Cocopjojo said:

An hour? That's not bad at all.
Uhh. Lets say impressive improvisation then. *thumbs up*
*cough* Anywhooo. I was wondering if there were any new releases of Kirby-ized characters. I don't want to delve thru spoilers, but as I've got a grasp of the char. list, any Kirby-ized char photo would be great!

I know. I got really excited when the song started and then...it stopped.

I suppose I can't argue with that.
I seek to develop not just multiple personalities, but all personalities, in order that I may complete my android software, which in these beta stages I've christened "The Omni-Human."RoboPlato said:

I have no clue what Jiggy is talking about with personalities nad Omni-Human, so I'll just assume he's a zombie now. Time to get the shotgun

Yay, Star Fox 64 tomorrow! Huzzah!
Anyway, I'm off for the night. Talk to you all tomorrow.
Edit: Oddly enough, my Photobucket bandwidth is fine. >_> And I've got a lot of spoiler pictures on there.

I just got murdered because my avatars were PNGs instead of GIFs, eating up 23-28kb a shot. D: Had to oust Rena and reduce the non-in-game Colette trio to ~11kb each, but by the time I noticed I'd been losing 3 GB a day it was already too late for me. :lol Especially since, after I changed them, now the people who had already cached the PNGs were just picking up the GIFs anew... Blah, what a mess.
But whatever. It's not like this'll happen more than once every 7-8 years or so. >_> Unless Nintendo actually grows intelligent and uses this excellent, ready-made engine to put out loads of single-player Smash spinoffs in collaboration with various third-parties, and then maybe we could build up at least half this level of hype every 18 months or so. MAKE IT HAPPEN, Ninty, although I know you never will.

And also make one of them star the Tales of Symphonia: Knight of Ratatosk cast.

With "the end is near, my friends", I was expecting Sakurai to start singing a ballad as the Dojo credits slowly scrolled across the screen.

So basically the update shows the entire game is ready in English. So that cuts out localization as a reason for the month delay.
Yeah, a while back I'd already resigned myself to the thought that Nintendo probably just wants to be able to claim amazing Halo 3-like sales figures for the first month, and needed more printing time to do it. :/TSA said:
Funny thing is, Sales-Age is my favorite part of GAF, and normally this kind of self-promotional trick (assuming that I'm really right on about what it is) wouldn't make me too unhappy--but Smash Bros. is my favorite part of gaming as a whole, so it actually does.

Oh, I was hoping they wouldn't be asshats again with AAA title. They delayed a completed GCN TP a year to port it to Wii to ensure the Wii would sell to hardcore fans. On top of that, lied that both would be out at the same time when they realized every Zelda fan and their mom was gonna get the GCN version, ensuring hardcore fanatics (like me) would pick up a Wii. Then, they delay Brawl last year to make room for Galaxy sales. Now, they delayed it in America because...online testing still needed? Some feature in our version not in Japan's? Or as you said, to bulk up copies for high initial sales in an attempt to have a record-setting day? First two reasons I would never complain about nowadays, it's a good reason to keep development going. That last reason, as much as I want a bigger-than-Halo day for some Nintendo game (nay, any game other than Halo), I wouldn't want it at the cost of having the entire game spoiled (if I cared about that, so to step into the shoes of Brawl die-hards, I imagine this being like if all of the new Zelda was put online before it's release) like it has.
Meh, I'm not here to go nuts on this, but I don't think Nintendo should get away with delaying games anymore to fit their agenda of making themselves look a bit better in market value. Or as Peter Gibbons said "So that Bill Lumburgh's stock will go up a quarter of a point." That's a crappy way to treat the fanbase. Sure, I know Final Fantasy fans get to wait up to a year or more for their titles, but that's because those are intensive, story filled games with hundreds, if not thousands, of pages of dialogue, some spoken now - which requires a whole new set of audio production for new languages. Something like Brawl...from what I've seen, very little text other than the trophies.
/end rant
\on topic
Sakurai should host videos of time attacks of the Break the Targets from Japan, and the staff should play players who are ranked higher... oh wait, for those who have it and are playing online - is there a ranking system or something for your stats? What are the details?

The PNGs could actually likely be smaller if properly compressed. Do not just rely on saving an image in photoshop as a PNG. Use a separate PNG compressor afterwards. Same goes for GIF, actually to be honest.
I'd recommend Irfanview, to be honest. Shitty programs like MS paint and even commercial software don't use the PNG compression feature at all, it seems.Stumpokapow said:
Irfanviews PNGout plugin really squeezes them dry, though.
1) open pic in irfanview
2) press I, note number of unique colors
3) reduce color depth of pic to as close to the number of unique colors as possible
4) Save as PNG, compression=9, 4+ passes
5) be amazed at tiny png
That, or gimp. It's not quite as efficient loading up a full-featured image manipulation suite just for compressing pngs, though.
Bloody hell TheSilentAssassin. I hate to be a broken record on this, but be thankful you actually have a release date and it's so soon after the Japanese one. You'll be able to play it at the peak of its interest against a lot of feverish Japanese players. Stop throwing your toys out of the pram.

Yeah, I'm tired of fucking Americans crying about their woeful delays. Live in Europe more.
And TP wasn't delayed a whole year just for Wii. As someone else mentioned, the difference between Castle Town then and now is night and day. By the way it was implemented I reckon they got six months into the polishing process and thought "well the Wii's out in six months let's shoehorn in some half-hearted, sluggish motion controls because otherwise we won't have any kind of 'real' game to launch with!"
Either way, it had a near-as-dammit worldwide launch. We all got it within weeks of each other. That's brilliant.
