Nintendo's First Samurai: Takamaru for SSB4 (Final Request: Ask the US HW devs to add Takamaru)

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

A bunch of the images I used in this op vanished because the image host closed down it seems. Does anyone have a good image of NES Takamaru I can use?

Here's an HQ one from the Strategywiki halfway through. Just right click and save it.

Thanks guys. Also, what's this I'm seeing about a -new- Mysterious Murasame Castle mix in the game? I think this character is going to get a playable appearance sooner more than later when I think of how he's being treated, even with his Assist Trophy status in this game. What other trophy reps of entire franchises got their own music in game again?

There was a Golden Sun track in Brawl, but Isaac is nowhere to be seen in Sm4sh...

Gema at least played the full soundtrack, but clearly listened to the songs he wanted to listen to fully (*cough* *cough* Mario *cough*). At 1:57:12 of the video, he only plays a snippet of it.

Here it is.

About the new remix, I like it. You know, when I first heard the Brawl remix of Shin Onigashima, I hated it. I had nothing to do with the atmosphere of the original game. Now I like it, because it's a great track by itself.
Whenever I hear the new remix of the Ground Theme of The Mysterious Murasame Castle, I'll just imagine that Takamaru is fighting ninjas in New Orleans.

I liked the remix of Shin Onigashima, it gave off a fighting mood than just the original calm version of it.

 

[Marakatu]

Oh, that track doesn't have an icon. That probably means no Murasame stage on the Wii U version too...

I checked Takamaru'a AT footage, he Swifts his sword so many times O.O
I like the voice that he has.

Search "All Assist Trophies in Smash Bros 3DS"
It's by Gamexplain, it should be easy to find

IT'S GLORIOUS!

I think I had to laugh at his performance when slashing. Him slashing looks... retro. Like, he repeats the same motion the same way so fast that it's funny.

I think the guys had fun giving us this impression that he's still "stiff" from his 8-bit outings. (Still wish he had his fireballs though)

Otherwise, he performs just dignifiedly. And is blazing fast!

Such a cool assist trophy... Makes me really hope he makes the jump to playable in the next game.

I was already starting to be a little nervous about not seeing Takamaru in any of the gameplay we've had, thinking he might be Wii U exclusive. But thank god he's in the 3DS as well, looks awesome! I hope they keep his Japanese voice in the international versions of the game.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

Huh, he moves exactly like he does in his game. How retro.

 

[Pacack]

Let's hope he gets a bit less rusty by the next Smash game
