O.K., what Overswarm probably meant was that the moment captured at (2:44) is a look into the soul of the character being discussed. The character does not need to have any qualities in common with the song so long as the discussed timeclip is an accurate portrayal of the character's nature.

If you look at it through a tainted glass, specific details are useless. Picasso didn't exactly make his details all that accurate.

EDIT: or you could turn your screen upside down. I wonder if that was what Samurai meant when he said obtuse...

The time clip looks really awsome when viewed from odd angles on a flat-screen monitor, by the way.

WAIT WAIT WAIT, lets look at it from SBR's perspective. If you were in the SBR and had to find an obscure hint, would you send everyone off into youtube and have them look through thousands of vids until one found one that somehow has the right hue/hidden letters/guy doing a char taunt exactly? I'd think that they were having a discussion, a guy ran into the forums and went,

"hey guyz, I was watching this video and at 2:44, that_____ randomly reminded me of this weeks character. It was like the weirdest thing ever, but I found a super random connection "

"Hey, we should use that as our hint!"


OK, it probably didn't go like that, but still, if you had been playing Brawl and randomly watched that video and it suddenly reminded you of a character at 2:44 while just normally watching it(though I don't know why anyone would...), who would that char be?

 

[The Halloween Captain]

Oddly, pokemon trainer was the first thing that came to mind. But this was after I knew to look for something.

Edit: that was entirely based on the guy's posture when I paused the video at that point, though.

 

[waks]

Maybe wario, sonic, or jigglypuff :o imo.

 

[ook]

I think it's Luigi

The way he's dancing at 2:44 reminds me of his taunt where he does all the poses.
(And cause Limp Bizkit is a poser! )

Plus, Luigi also dances kinda like that in his Final Smash.

 

[Overswarm]

I like one of the previous 10 posters becasue they are smart.

Also, my hint was very straightforward.


....all of them.

I use an LCD monitor and when I tilted the screen upwards at 2:44, I started getting hit by Luigi's Final Smash IRL.

 

[Kirby Redux]

I really think its Luigi because of the "moon like" ness of the background at 2:44, and his dance somewhat is like Luigi's FS. But then again, maybe that's what they want us to think.

 

[Sonic The Hedgedawg]

rolling? we've got jigglypuff and sonic

 

[Uffe]

"Yo, red cap!" = Ness
"Rollin'" = Jigglypuff or Sonic
"2:44" = Luigi's FS

Could be any of these.

 

[Kirby Redux]

I'm thinking Luigi also because his taunts/nature tie in with the Picasso thing in that he was a Cubist, who often painted edgy paintings, and were more rigid, like Luigi.

 

[The Halloween Captain]

I use an LCD monitor and when I tilted the screen upwards at 2:44, I started getting hit by Luigi's Final Smash IRL.

Actually, this is... probably exactly what the hint refers to. You look at your monitor from an odd, obtuse angle (the most obtuse of any hint), and you get hit by Luigi's final smash. It's... Luigi.

I guess we don't get the ultimate rick-roll this week.

 

[Sonic The Hedgedawg]

I think... you are all overanalyzing.

 

[pure_awesome]

I suppose it would make sense. Maybe they just selected 2:44 because that dance is the one he does that looks the most like Luigi.

But... eh. I don't buy it. I'm not convinced "obtuse" was supposed to be a hint, and none of OS's hints fit with it. Plus, it's a pretty liberal interpretation, and OS is trying to push everyone in a more abstract direction. It would be kind of wierd for SP to assume everyone has a flatscreen monitor, anyway. It fits like that old T-Shirt you found at the back of your closet. Sure, it works, but you can probably find something better.

I think tomorrow I'm going to redirect my energy away from trying to see what the most hilariously elaborate explanation I can come up with is and actually try to solve this thing before I run out of time. I love how the best hint yet comes when I'm moving to a different part of the country in two days. Part of me is like: Sit down, shut up, and actually try to figure it out. And the rest of me is like: What the hell are you doing? Get to bed. You have to pack! Where's your toothbrush!?

 

[Grunt]

you mean the
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha?
and the rembrant?

Isn't rembrant a toothpaste?
lol, It's Wario.

 

[Napilopez]

OK. I don't actually have a guess to provide, but I am very surprise no one has mentioned that that which picasso was most famous for was CUBISM.

Umm... Do you guys see all the cubes in the background?!?

Now if someone could just find some sort of connection...

Might as well run with this idea.

In the game Donkey Kong Country, where you obviously have the option to both roll and roll barrels, there are also crates. The crates are cube-like in shape, so as such, it is perfectly logical to assume that the crates bear a connection to the background. Inside the crates are methods for "rolling" or, getting around, such as Rambi the Rhino. It can either be Diddy or DK, and since Diddy is done, DK is a plausible option.

It is Donkey Kong

I a know it

If you click the link, it leads to a random link on youtube. But if you type 2:44 into the "Search Video section". New video comes up. and one of them is "Let's play Donkey Kong Country 2:44"


If i am right I should be in the back Rook

I am the new infrzy

This has gone on too far. The sheer depth of possibilities that can be seen in the video relating to the remaining characters, as well as OS' cryptic messages, are starting to get to me.

Recently OS made a comment about Picasso, the obvious thought that first came into my head was 'Cubism!', and other people have commented this as well. The way the cubes are laid out at 2:44 reminds me of the final structure of blocks in the original super mario bros on the first level, that sort of 'one up one across' layout, which can be seen in Mushroomy Kingdom.

Also, in the quote above, OS makes a comment about being 'straightforward'. Obviously in the early Mario games, you literally could only move forward, and the screen prevented you from moving back, also in Mushroomy Kingdom.

This can be combined with the Red Hat if you want for more evidence,but its not really visible at 2:44. Obviously Luigi, being so related to Mario can also be seen as the character from the dancer's appearance and moves relating to his taunts etc, but Rembrandt is known for his excellent portraits and other depictions of humans, and as OS said we have to think less like Rembrandt, we need to look away from the dancer, and hence from Luigi.

It is Mario.

Woah :O

I hope it is Donkey Kong

 

[jber4life]

Oh,

and Sam Panda picked Rollin, because they new it would invoke discussion

/jber > BK

 

[Jigglymaster]

If it was sonic it would be about speed not rolling.

 

[MiraiGen]

It's Mewtwo.

 

[Digital Angel]

You guys are kidding right? This hint is blatantly easy, it's Jigglypuff...remember from melee? The rollout attack. Case closed.

 

[Youko]

Yeah guys, remember from Melee? The same rollout attack that is STILL IN BRAWL!!



This thread is too good.

 

[Monk/Honkey/Banana]

I still think it's Ike

 

[~ Gheb ~]

I don't care about the character anymore. I just want the god**** solution to this hint...

 

[hotgarbage]

it Is Donkey Kong

I A Know It

If You Click The Link, It Leads To A Random Link On Youtube. But If You Type 2:44 Into The "search Video Section". New Video Comes Up. And One Of Them Is "let's Play Donkey Kong Country 2:44"


If I Am Right I Should Be In The Back Rook

I Am The New Infrzy

There's also a Pokemon game right below it.

 

[VersatileBJN]

its either jigglypuff = ROLLOUT


or Sonic = rolling/driving = going fast..moving constantly

 

[CorruptFate]

This is to funny everyone is reading into it like its the da vinci code!

Panda is turning everyone into little detectives and will one day call you those of you who get it right for a mission. =P

 

[ph00tbag]

It's Ganondorf. The video is gangsta. Ganondorf is so gangsta he deserves another SBR discussion.

Prove me wrong.

 

[Snail]

It's Ganondorf. The video is gangsta. Ganondorf is so gangsta he deserves another SBR discussion.

Prove me wrong.

The music is bad, Ganondorf is bad. Therefore it's Ganondorf. However, this could also apply to Jigglypuff and she actually rolls, too...

Or sonic xD At 2:44 the background is blue and there are some blue orbs.. so :/

Didn't I say that like 3 posts above yours? Just saying...

 

[Overswarm]

I'm surprised people didn't look at the 10 posts before the post where I referenced 10 posts exactly for a clue.

 

[XienZo]

Well, for cubes, what I would think of first is tetris, but of course, Dr. Mario is long gone....

Perhaps its something more abstract, like "Lol, Olimar has such a huge head, he's practically out of a Picasso painting..." *watches vid* "Ooh, Picasso's art was called cubism right? Maybe we could use those as a hint!"

But thats probably not it, those cubes are pretty subtle and when you look at Olimar, Cubism isn't the first thing you think of...

So it could be the dancer, the hue of the lights, or the cubes. I suppose there could be others but that would seem too subtle...

They all say something different... : /
