Apreciating the small things.

[hydrokyogre]

This song playing in the All-Star rest area, or at least a way to unlock it

 

[aldelaro5]

okay this is very a very minor thing but if you notice during the mario vs megaman fight the percentage number is more detailed like it's not only one color like brawl and melee but it's rather a color and some detail was added (sorry it's hard to explain english is not my first language just compare the number on the video with the brawl one and you'il see)

 

[BridgesWithTurtles]

The little things I appreciate:

• Megaman exploding into blue orbs when KO'd.
• The Mr. Saturn sprite on Ness' black alt's shirt.
• The fact that Luigi is always an unlockable clone of Mario with variations on his stats - the exact role he plays in the majority of main series Mario games.
• Sonic's finger wag idle pose.
• Pokemon Trainer "blacking out" rather than clapping after losing a match. Also, his Vs. Seeker.
• Every piece of fan-service in Snake's codec conversations.
• Bonuses in Melee.
• Sakurai's cat in Pokemon Stadium 2.
• Pit's animation when using the Hammer item.
• Snake's butterfly C4.
• Sonic's classic-style sound effects and springboard design.
• Cranky Kong's silhouette in Jungle Japes.
• The moon and giants in Great Bay.
• The amount of meticulous detail in recreating Delfino Plaza and Port Town Aero Dive (you can even see the ROB tower).
• The Chronicle actually acknowledging the Virtual Boy.

Little things I'd like them to add:

• Sonic releasing a bunch of rings when he's KO'd.

I see you are new here, Welcome to the forums!

yes, I understand what you are trying to say. I noticed it too!
its starts as white numbers, then slowly turns into a gold-like color while also fading to black around the edges.
its okay if its a very minor detail, that's what this thread is about. :]

For Link?
Two words, people.
Two words that will make the world on this side of Hyrule Field's fences just a little greener....

SWORD.
BEAMS.

Maybe on the neutral A third jab at 0%, or otherwise very low percent, this could happen?

Heck, I think attaching the beam to the third strike alone is enough of a handicap that the percentage thing wouldn't even necessarily need to be a factor, but yeah, not a bad idea.

But it would have to have the mystical "Whirp!" sound from A Link to the Past, or it just wouldn't feel right, ya know? Heck, maybe even the same swirling sparkling lights look to it as well!XD

 

[IsmaR]

-more to come, might as well make a separate thread, sorry guys I don't post much...

Then allow me to welcome you to the site. Hope the rest of your ideas are just as good.
Posting only the things I'm glad for and that haven't already been posted, rather than what I'd like to see or has already been mentioned.
Samus having perforated metal (makes her look like Prime's version despite having Other M's design, IMO) and a new charge-shot SFX.
Samus/Mewtwo's "hanging over a ledge" animation.
Mewtwo using items (including Hammer) via telekinesis.
Bowser's new slow walking animation, along with his overall stature change.
DK being able to pick up/carry heavy items easier than other characters.
The new sound effects in general ("hard hits" sounds sound way better than in Brawl)
Character postures being "mirrored" rather than having them turned from the camera when facing left (though will miss the lovely ZSS/Snake shots)
In Melee, being able to manipulate the menu screens with the C-Stick.
The Wall Jump and Wall Cling abilities.
Link's shield being able to deflect projectiles.
Tether recoveries and Z-airs.
And lastly, "classic" character specific sounds playing when selecting your character. (ex: selecting Samus did her Screw Attack SFX from Melee)

 

[UberMadman]

The little things I've appreciated the most so far is ALL OF MEGA MAN. Seriously, they did such a good job emulating and updating his NES incarnation that it's ridiculous.

I can't really think of any small thing I want to be added though - only large things. The smallest thing I can think of is more alternate "costumes" like Wario has, (i.e. Dr. Mario for Mario and Female Villager for Villager.)

 

[Toph_87]

So far in the entire Smash Series, Yoshi is the only character with his own custom shield (His Egg Shield). I've always felt like other characters could have their own custom shield too. Obviously it might be too much work to give everyone on the roster a custom shield, but surely two or three more characters can have one too so Yoshi doesn't stand out so much. That is unless this was the intention of Sakurai and he wanted Yoshi to stand out. IDK, what do you guys think about other characters having custom shields?

I like the idea, and for me personally, it would be great. But you have to remember that for people new to the series, shields should be very distinguisable. If someone unfamilliar to smash bros would watch a fight, it should be clear why a certain character did not fly off after being hit, because of the very obvious shield. If you would make more custom shields, extra care should be given to ensure that they each look like shields, and are easily recognizable.

I would like to see something that might seem a bit unrealistic, but it would be very fun in my opinion. Developed and dynamic character relations. What I mean by this, that besides, giving every character a unique personality and feel, they should be given a way to act with other characters. Like in the avengers, where the worlds of superheroes collide, and they develop certain relations to one and other, it becomes more fun, and adds a deeper layer to their personalities. But just now, in smash, it would be nintendo figures whose worlds collide and they have to find ways to act amongst each other. A lot of these things have been theorized by fans (Think snake hitting on ZSS) and they did it because it was fun, so imagine what sakurai could do with it.

A longshot, I know. But I'm hopefull.

I want the SSB64 announcer back...

 

[Toph_87]

I want the SSB64 announcer back...

Totally agree. Don't want to turn this into a flame war or anything, but the announcer from ssb and melee seemed genuinely excited and hype. His voice alone made me play. The announcer for brawl was very tame and toned down in comparison.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

Not to mention he didn't even yell "SUPER SMASH BROS!!" during the into. Huge let down.

 

[-TAG-]

I like it that when you charge Jigglypuff's D-smash she does a spin before releasing it.

 

[grizby2]

yeah, charge animations were very nice.

I like how luigi stuck to a wall when he uses Green missile up against one.

 

[Lemonwater]

I like how characters all swing clobbering weapons (beam sword, star rod, bat, etc.) differently with many variations in power, hitbox, etc.

Beam Sword should remain extended even when not attacking. Seems more intimidating that way. And the sword range should remain consistent. I have always loved the beam sword from Smash 64. Maybe they should appear with variations in blade color for purely cosmetic purposes (blue, red, green, yellow, orange, purple, teal, pink, etc.) just to add more color. And brighter and longer blade light trails would be nice too.

 

[Kamiko]

What's wrong with the cornrows?

They're flat in the back. It's really weird.

 

[grizby2]

another sound-effect observation, only Ness and Lucas have different sounds when charging their smash attacks in brawl. I loved that.

 

[Vkrm]

They're flat in the back. It's really baller.

Fix'd

 

[Terrazi Terrajin]

The satisfying noise that comes from Samus' suit when she swings an attack.

 

[Xigger]

Shout SUPER SMAAAAASH BROTHERRRRRS
in the opening...please?

Yes! Brawl decided to go completely silent when the main logo whooshes together for the main title, I miss the unnecessary screaming!

 

[Ulevo]

A lot of the SFX that Brawl had coming from Melee and 64 were pretty bad. Things like Marth's sword swipes, Fox's shine and lasers, or even Ness's bat just didn't sound as ripe and satisfying. I hope that Smash Wii U has some more crisp sounds for sure.

I also hope the opening is solid. 64 and Melee had great openings for their time, while I think Brawl tried to go a little overboard with an epic cinematic theme and fell short.

 

[Hypercat-Z]

The little things I appreciated most in the series are the cameos of games whose protagonists are not in the game, like Kirby turning into a Panel De Pon block and The Villager imitating the Balloon Fighter, and the spoof to other fighting games, like Luigi having a burning dragon punch like Ken in Super Street Fighter II and the wireframe fighters clearly modeled after Jacky and Sarah Bryant in Virtua Fighter.

 

[LinkFromAFuture]

Kirby saying "Poyo!".

 

[Vurka]

the removal of DK's and Diddy's realistic ape-ish sounds (or do people like that? )

Please no! The old school sounds are way better than the new ones (I'm no hipster or nostalgic ***). The new "voice" DK had since Mario Power Tennis makes him look like a mentally challenged person. Yes, some of the old sounds may seem ******** too, but it was subtle. I feel like they are trying to do too much or trying to make DK more appealing to the kids. Personally, it all went downhill when Charles Martinet stopped doing DK's voice.

 

[Varg Foad]

Well here's my list :

• Bring back the Kirbycides bthrow and fthrow from melee
• Alternatives costumes should be more detailed
• Give Sheik and Zelda a DownB, and their Final Smashes should switch characters, just like Samus/ZSS
• Link's Zair grabs edge automatically
• DK punch can be reversed, and if you punch in the air you can still second jump or UpB
• No more opera in the intro
• You can now add your own soundtrack via USB/Memory card/Whatever

I certainly forget 3 or 4 things, but these are the little changes I want to see. Especially DK punch.

 

[Snailtopus]

Bring back Pikachu's bair from SSB64
Bring back his party hats too

 

[grizby2]

I like how the designed ness's yoyo, putting the words "super nitendo" and "mother" on it.
I hope Mario could get an alternate cosume that references super Mario sunshine, wear his sleeves were actually shorter and you could see his forearms

Spoiler

or give him the costume were he's wearing shades!

Spoiler

 

[nessokman]

Everything from melee. Melee is absolute perfection, better yet, no items, fox only, and final destination as the stage with melee physics...

 

[Lemonwater]

Ness' bat needs the home-run sound for sure again.

Also, I like how charging smashes looks like they are really increasing in power based on how the characters move slightly while charging.

 

[metaknave]

I liked that legendary Pokémon had a 1 in 151/251/493 chance of appearing, which made getting them all the more awesome. Something I'd like added is a chance for any Pokémon to be shiny. It could unlock a trophy that shows off some select shinies along with a notice. Also, give all playable Pokémon their shiny colors as a palette swap.

Wow. It's like you read my mind.

They really do need to do that.
The trophy should have the Red Gyarados in the center, while other notable shinies surround it, like the Celebi from PMD2 and others.

I really have to wonder why hardly any Pokemon in Brawl had the shiny colors as a color swap. Doesn't make sense.

As for small things I'd like to see:
-Shiny Pokemon

-Wario having a rare gimmick that makes him go through quick transformations from the Wario Land series when hit with various types of moves.

-"Tired" animations when a character has high damage.

-3 or 4 different battle entrances for each character, much like they have 3 different victory poses.

-Return of the random enemies from Melee that would pop out of crates.
Bring back the same Ice Climber, Zelda, and Mario enemies from Melee and add in enemies from other series, like Breadbugs from Pikmin that wander around and drag items on the ground, and Metools from Megaman.

Technically, Pikachu and Jigglypuff do have their shiny colors. Slight orange and green eyes.

not having a shiny Charizard made me sad

 

[Lemonwater]

-Ganon F-air
-The sounds from Ike's sword attacks
-G&W's crazy smash attacks
-Brawl+
-The satisfying sound of Diddy being KOed
-Link's sword glows with all his sword attacks
-Zelda's black and whits costume
-Grandpa Ganon outfit

 

[Toph_87]

Zelda's transform not taking 5-10 seconds and being instant like it was in melee returning
