Subspace videos not on full screen?

Part two of the analysation of the videos on Subspace.

When archiving the videos on the Smash Bros. DOJO, I saw something very interesting that had bothered me since the movie was displayed. Up until now, nobody has noticed this.

Just at the moment the screen pauses on the Ancient Minister, you hear a very familiar sound. Where did we hear it before?

Exactly, when introducing the newcomers.

So, my theory about this is that the Ancient Minister gets the same treatment, getting introduced. It could be something like:

Subspace Leader
Ancient Minister

But... it could also mean that the videos were never "full screen". A part must have been cut. The reason could be because the Japanese were too lazy to translate it until now.

Anyway, it might seem farfetched, but it is a possibility, seeing as we have seen screenshots which seem full screen.

Or it could mean that they took it out of the video since it's said in the update itself that he is the Ancient Minister.

Then why does the Japanese site not have the video with the subtitle?
Because it doesn't come with a subtitle like the other characters; it just stops for suspense....

Ancient Minister is probably going to be a Brawl only character made for the game, like Master Hand...

don't be surprised if he appeared later in a Kirby game.

If they would add it, the other countries will get the "WTF are you doing to us, Sakurai?"

Mind you, that movie alone is about 5 MB, counting in each version (Flash 7 and Flash 8, which has a better quality). It would add some more MB to put it on in full screen for the Japanese audience, and 5 MB extra for the subtitle-less version.

Sakurai might have all the disk space he needs, but there is a limit. Bandwidth does cost money, you know.

I dont think anything was cut out of the video - they probably used that freeze frame coupled with the "new character" sound to signify importance in the villain.

With that said, I wonder if their will be cut scenes in the game that will actually have that "newcomer" bar with a character's name when they make their first appearance - it doesn't make too much sense to me...

Okay guys, huge bump, but I've got something to back up my theory.

You can see that both DKs have that title intro, as I described. So, wouldn't it be likely that the Ancient Minister also got this treatment?

No it's taken out during the real game.

No he's right. Today's update proves that.

Again, it could just be a pause with a cool sound effect.

The only thing I can think of is that they only wanted to have one video on the server or something, so they took out the words "[Character Name Here]" that would be different in the different languages offered on the site.

I remember that in the E for All video, when the video stopped and made that noise, it said "Donkey Kong" and "Diddy Kong" and whatever other characters there were. They just took it out of the movie found on the Dojo.

I was right.
