So...

I'm guessing that the big guy is based on CF

And the girl is based on Zamus, I'm guessing.

I'm also guessing that Sakurai is doing a bit of wordplay - I'm almost tempted to say that the little spike on the green one's head is Jiggly's hair.

But the yellow one has me stumped. Bowser Jr.? Animal Crosser? Diddy Kong?

 

[FDLink]

Blue Alloy falling animation appears similar to Zelda's.
Red Alloy pose appears to be reminiscent of the dear Cap'n. Hope that means he's still in.

 

[Iam Canadian]

I like how the co-op picture has Sonic and Mario covering each other's backs.

Sakurai understands the fan-service value of Mario and Sonic's legendary rivalry even if the Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games developers didn't.

 

[Danthrax]

I like the additions to the Fighting Wireframe/Polygon mode. Co-op and online co-op FTW!

 

[jamesinclair]

Beaten to meteos similarity

 

[Enduin]

What?

He thinks the Red Alloy appears to be Captain Falcon inspired, aka CF is in the game because of it.

 

[Iam Canadian]

The Green Alloid actually reminds me of a Sir Kibble from Kirby.

 

[RoboPlato]

If it’s a 100-Man Brawl, then you continue fighting until you’ve beaten 100 of them. Destroying so many really cleanses the spirit.

Sakurai hinting at how to unlock something?

 

[rollingstart]

cool, but this would have been the perfect way to use Miis' in the game.

this is better in the long run actually.

 

[SantaC]

does anyone else think of the hunters in MP:H seeing these "robots" ?

 

[Keru_Shiri]

"Those horns are scintillating!"

I nominate this as the thread subtitle. That or "Destroying so many really cleanses the spirit."

 

[Companion Cube]

I just wanted to put it out there that I think Red Alloy looks like something that could be from Metroid Prime Hunters.

 

[Michan]

For those who are unaware.

 

[ezekial45]

Around the waist of the Alloys are the same textures of wireframe fighters from melee.

 

[Ydahs]

Wow, didn't expect this mode to be online.

 

[BorkBork]

Sakurai you sly dog!

 

[Oblivion]

I liked the Wireframes, tho.

Also, did I miss something? Why are we getting updates an hour early?

 

[Stuneseht]

since GAF has been on a ICO/SOTC high, it could be.............
:lol :lol :lol :lol

 

[PkunkFury]

not if Miis are playable

 

[flipping_heck]

Wow, very similar to Meteos character.. is that teh DS character

 

[SantaC]

lol I just beat you with that thought!

 

[MrCheez]

Sakurai hinting at how to unlock something?

Holy crap that would be such a cool way to drop a hint.

"cleanses the spirit"... you unlock a healer character? Micaiah? :lol

Ahhh speculation is fun

 

[Michan]

"Those horns are scintillating!"

I nominate this as the thread subtitle. That or "Destroying so many really cleanses the spirit."

Or, "Destroying with friends really cleanses the horns"

 

[Cynar]

Yellow one either looks like the thing from Meteo's, or the Animal Crossing Villager.

Red one sorta looks like Captain Falcon.

 

[Keru_Shiri]

Yellow Alloy looks like Lucas to me.

 

[Companion Cube]

lol I just beat you with that thought!

We were thinking the same thing at the same time :O

 

[SantaC]

We were thinking the same thing at the same time :O

weird!

 

[Oblivion]

The Green Alloy looks like a Slime.

 

[Meohsix]

 

[Milabrega]

Speculating:

"Cleanses the Spirit"

Meaning the spirit was corrupted..... Hinting at a metroid unlockable for completing this mode?

 

[RoboPlato]

Holy crap that would be such a cool way to drop a hint.

"cleanses the spirit"... you unlock a healer character? Micaiah? :lol

Ahhh speculation is fun

Micaiah was the first thing that popped into my mind too, but that's probably just because I've been playing a bit too much of Radiant Dawn lately.

 

[Penguin]

Instead of Miis we get the power rangers =/

Power rangers was first thing thought of as well. :lol

But red isn't leader.

 

[MisterHero]

Yellow is mid-sizes like Mario and Lucas.

Mario and Ness shared the same Polygon Fighter in 64.

 

[A Link to the Past]

If it weren't for the chick bot, I could have argued that these bots represent the four original unlockables.

EDIT: Also, the "cleanse the spirit" line obviously refers to the fact that Krystal is unlocked through the 100-Man Melee.

Duh.

 

[KittenMaster]

I think this is actual direction towards Captain Falcon hinting, though I didn't realize it until I saw a post saying "Falcon confirmed".

That, and this is a very sentai-like cast. We seriously need to have an event where these guys take on Giga Bowser.

But red isn't leader.

I think Sakurai is being really sarcastic.

 

[teddyboi]

I think each of the comments directed toward the Alloys is a clue to what character they represent.

So, who can come across being a leader but isn't really?
Who's Gentle?
Who's horns are scintillating?
Who looks like Kirby?

 

[Michan]

The Green Alloy looks like a Slime.

My first thought when seeing the green one.

I wouldn't be surprised if DQ popped up, but I'd expect a DQ starter more than an unlockable.

 

[ProfessorLobo]

Actually I think yellow might be Mario too.

 

[RoboPlato]

I'm kind of surprised that there isn't an Alloy that has wings, considering we already know of a few characters that can glide and there will likely be more.

 

[flipping_heck]

hmmm.. interesting, so AC or Meteos thing...

 

[HK-47]

I think each of the comments directed toward the Alloys is a clue to what character they represent.

Captain Falcon
Zelda
Doesnt really tell you anything
Jigglypuff

 

[Keru_Shiri]

So it seems like almost every mode in Melee is getting a Co-op feature, and online functionality. This is such a far cry from our early predictions of "barebones only" online matches we initially expected. :lol

 

[SantaC]

I wish that we would get something from castlevania

Afterall castlevania is a classic on Nintendo consoles. Imagine Dracula a fighter in the transylvania castle as a stage. *dreams*

 

[Ashodin]

Falcon all but confirmed

 

[SantaC]

doesn't yellow alloy also looks like the stone statues in Zelda?

*armos*

 

[ezekial45]

Falcon all but confirmed

Or it could be just a homage.

 

[Michan]

Doesnt really tell you anything

I know that when it comes to Zero Suit Samus, Snake has at least one scintillating horn.

 

[RoboPlato]

Simon Belmont is one of my most wanted 3rd party characters but he is extremely unlikely with Konami already having a representative. At least Snake is my favorite video game character so that lessens the sting a bit.

I know Simon Belmont is my most wanted also, but as you said Konami already has a character...

 

[Keru_Shiri]

I still maintain that this:
