I wondered upon it's release how they made it fit on one game disc because I didn't have the technical knowledge back then.

Super Smash Bros. Melee used up 1.02 GB of the 1.35 GB available.
Opening FMV: 121 MB
Ending movies: 222 MB
Streaming music: 234 MB
Sound effects: 125 MB
The rest are models, textures and the game engine.

Incredible news. Thanks.

Its quite annoying how quick this thread goes. I go away for a couple of hours and there's already 200+ new posts since the last time I checked!

happens everytime there is a megaton update

 

[grandjedi6]

any MGS fans have speculations for what the supposed


could possibly be?

MGS4's Metal Gear MKII? Gekko? A mysterious Metal Gear in MGS4 that we haven't seen yet? Arsenal? What do you guys think?

I'm betting Snake uses a Metal Gear for his final smash which is what they are refering to. As for which one, who knows.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

...what? Otacon doesn't have a daughter, and Sunny is the closest thing he has to a daughter. Emma Emmerich was his step-sister.

That was supposed to sound stupid, not to refer to anything canon.

 

[psycho_snake]

I wish they would have told us how the codec conversations would work. All we know is that they appear when snake is playing on the shadow moses stage, but we don't know when they will appear during the battle.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Wtf, goddammit I'm always freaked out by pics of Michael Jackson nowadays.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Well, the tracks are MP3s (64kbit, 22050Hz) embedded in SWF files. The question is wether they are the actual ingame-tracks or merely work-in-progress songs. But I don't see any reason why they should upload them played back with an inferior sound engine.

You'd be surprised how late in the development schedule it can be when final music is swapped in.

There's also a good chance that most of the videos they plan on posting have already been captured a long time ago from an older build and are just uploaded on their intended dates. With an early December release, the game HAS to be in final testing now so they can get to manufacturing by the end of the month at the latest. Any video capturing done at this time in the schedule are going to be for previews and ads closer to the release date. We should see a more representative form of the audio and music then.

I bet it's similar to Fox's wingman conversations on Corneria.

I doubt its going to be a MGS4 metal gear. I dont think Kojima would let Sakurai use the Gekkou's or a new Metal gear that hasnt been revealed before MGS4 is released. It could be a metal gear from the other metal gear games though, like portable ops, acid, or metal gear 1 and 2.

Apparently one other kind appears, too. It’s supposedly a slightly newer model.

Metal Gear for DS confirmed? D:

 

[psycho_snake]

You know, they should make the moon from majora's mask an assist trophy. Whoever uses it could make the moon crash onto the stage.

 

[Crushed]

It could be some comically themed "Mario Gear" or something.

Like Mesal Gear in Ape Escape 3.

There's music from '4' in Brawl, so the other Metal Gear may be from that game.

Ohhh, that would be awesome. Majora's mask as an assist trophy? Heck yeah.

No, the Codec conversations are Snake's Final Smash and once they end he eats Yoshi whilst banging Zero Suit Samus.

 

[jiangjunizzy]

since im too lazy to read all the previous posts, heres a few things i noticed:

-in the video, you can clearly see mario attempt to block snake's attacks, and you hear a little bubbly effect, indicating that there are indeed bubble shields in the game (in one shape or another). from what it looks like, you dont actually see the bubble until he gets hit, so perhaps the shields got replaced with kind of an invisible bubble thing. they did look kinda ugly in the old smash, but then again, we didnt have much time to look at it.
edit: looking at it again, you can see snake use his shield (a whitish bubble) for a split second after he grabs mario.

-just after snake uses his cypher, you can see him choke mario, and put him on the ground.. with mario laying down! perhaps thats a special property of his grabs? (kinda like donkey kong)

-snake screams when he puts the mine in the ground haha

-snake has a 3 hit aerial, dont think anyone in melee has anything like that.

 

[psycho_snake]

I've heard about those conversations, but I've never actually see one, but if its anything like the conversations from the starfox games then I know what its like. A conversation like that woudl work best with the codec. Instead of having the whole screen taken up by the codec, do it like the conversations in the starfox games.

Darkpen, I swear to God, if you post that "D:" when it is totally unnecessary or inapplicable one more fucking time, I WILL KILL YOU YES THIS IS A WRITTEN THREAT

Believe me, I sure hope so, I just don't think it's going to happen. Well, we'll see in time.

 

[Shig]

Oh man, I just realized how awesome a Shagohad assist trophy would be.

Oh, no wait, even better, a Volgin assist where he puts the nearest combatant in a barrel and then punches the crap out of it.

Or grabs their nuts. Either or.

 

[speedpop]

Congrats to 500 pages guys!

Here's hoping for several hundred more down the line~

I would love so see a MGS character as an assist trophy. Gray Fox would be the best character to have.

 

[Jiggy]

-snake has a 3 hit aerial, dont think anyone in melee has anything like that.

Kirby forward air, Fox forward air, Falco forward air. All triple kicks.

>_>

 

[jiangjunizzy]

oh, youre right huh D:

i think i meant by how fast he kicks.. yea..

 

[Synless]

So, I've been waiting for this game for a long time but I also didn't want to ruin much of it for myself by looking at all these updates but today I couldn't help it anymore and I started to listen to the soundtrack section.......amazing as fucking hell!!!!!!!!!! my hype level went through the roof..........

 

[BuddhaRockstar]

Nah, Psycho Mantis would be the best ever-

"So you like to play Cooking Mama do you?"

We already have Resetii, but we need another fourth wall breaker!

 

[Frillen]

This week started of WAY better than last week's updates. Let's hope it continues.

 

[The M.O.B]

Haven't posted here in a while, but I love the impact whenever they hit each other. It looks like he has an explosion at the end of his kicks.

 

[MrNibbles]

Donald Miller ftw.

Gives Snake training / survival tips.

Master? But... HE DIED D:

I mean, might as well give Snake an alternate costume as Liquid or something.

Yoshi = dinosaur... CANON!

I'm pretty sure they called it a dinosaur when it was introduced in Super Mario World.

can we PLEASE drop the dinosaur topic? The moment someone posted a PDF of the SMW english booklet, that should've ended.

....if only I could find that ms paint drawing that illustrated the significance of "D:," which featured Piplup, and another which featured one of our forum posters.

 

[Rindain]

HOLY SHIT AT THIS UPDATE! It's like a head-exploding orgasm party for Nintendo (and gaming in general) fans.

My mind is still coming to grips with how much FRIGGIN MASSIVE this game is. Soon it will swallow up all other franchises and characters until there is only BRAWL.

 

[Slurpy]

Holy shit, almost 25,000 posts.

I would like to see that. Maybe I can find it after work.

*just finshed watched the videos*

:lol :lol

SOOOOOO GOOOOD! I love how they're doing this for him.

 

[Zeed]

I wonder if they'll have any MGS assist trophies. REX and RAY are already in the background, but Raiden (MGS4 version) would fucking rule.

On that note, if it's not a Metal Gear, what could Snake's Final Smash be? It would've ruled if he piloted REX for a short period of time like in

Spoiler

Guns of the Patriots

but that's not looking likely at the moment.

Ah, a double Metal Gear Solid update.

Sorry, Sakurai, no update can be any cooler than the Lucas update.

Except Ness.

Don't hold your breath. Don't want you to pass out in the weeks it takes to happen.

Main character of Mother 3. I believe.
