Chorus Kids for Smash Bros. DLC! ~ Lend your Song of Support in the Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot! ~

[Capybara Gaming]

Back on topic, what style do you think the Chorus Men are going to be? 2D like Game and Watch, or 3D like everyone else?

Same question I asked in a pm yesterday lol.


I actually think 2D.

 

[Opossum]

I hate the sal leak for Chrom.
I even asked the Chrom thread to get me pumped for him (I was being sincere, trying to pre emptively get excited because he just seems as stupid of an addition as Toon Link is), and no one could do it!

Did you bother to read the OP like some suggested?

Anyway, I, too, need to pick up a Rhythm Heaven game soon. Heard they're cheap, to boot.

Definitely! They're really fun games. I recommend Fever first because DS might be a bit harder to get into due to the touch screen controls, although that's the game where Chorus Kids are from.

Really happy the possible inclusion of a Rhythm Heaven rep is getting people to try out the games. Hopefully the series being represented in Smash can ensure that it can stay alive for a while. Outside Japan, at least.

Chorus Men need to be 2D. That's just how they are since their games are all drawings/animations.

HECK TO THE YES! if you could not guess by my profile pic i'm a huge Rhythm Heaven Fan and i love these guys and i would be so grateful if they got in And i thought a Final Smash.. Remix essentially all the RH characters come out and do songs and dances to the Rhythm of the song currently playing and the opponents who don't time it right get damage and Knock back it could be more powerful the more you do it to the Rhythm and the Opponents do not i like plus i can think of anything else XD

 

[BluePikmin11]

I want them to be a cartoonish 3-D Ed-Ed'n-Eddy style, I think it would be pretty unique.

 

[Hammer B]

I wonder if they will retain that shaking animation they have in Rhythm Heaven (sorta like Ed, Edd and Eddy's animation, btw)...

 

[4cast]

Most likely actually what if they can use their voices as projectiles like Jiggs in the Anime?

 

[Louie G.]

I was thinking Ed Edd n Eddy as well.

I think they'll maintain that look, and remain 2D as the Sneaky Spirit is in Smash Run.

AWW no fair you got a cuter picture then me! XC and random question are these messages that we are doing right now or posts? and how do you make a thread? also do you have a NNID?

These are posts, messages are in PMs.
Making a thread is easy, there'a a button for it in certain forums.
And I do have a NNID, I just haven't put it in my info yet. I'll do that soon.

Few things would make me happier than the Kids keeping their outline-squiggles, like their lose animation being the look of disdain they give you if you screw up.

 

[Louie G.]

I was thinking that their losing animation could be the third Chorus Kid clapping happily, while the other two stare at him disapprovingly.

 

[Capybara Gaming]

alright, together now!

The saltiest character in Smash.

What have you done

Now I'll accept nothing else

 

[Non-Specific Action Hero]

SUPER SALT BROTHERS!

 

[Capybara Gaming]

SUPER SALT BROTHERS!

Super Pepper Sisters

 

[Hippopotasauce]

They'd also have to have their eyes go white and mouths gape open whenever they're hit by a strong attack.

Now I want to see them as Ed, Edd, 'n Eddy.

 

[8-peacock-8]

Ok, after some thought i realized that i really like the idea of the Chorus Kid(s) in Smash.

 

[Capybara Gaming]

Now I want to see them as Ed, Edd, 'n Eddy.

Alternate Costume?

You know Ed Edd and Eddy in Punch Time Explosion wouldve made me buy it

 

[Louie G.]

I'm going to make a more in-depth moveset later.
So stay tuned. I have some great ideas that I want to share.

This is why I want Robin instead of Chrom. At the very least those who haven't played FE: Awakening would be able to appreciate the fact that he/she can use magic and doesn't have blue hair.

On the topic of movesets, I would prefer you control one and the others appear to assist in attacks. I just can't imagine trying to manage 3 guys at once. I trust Nintendo's abilities, though.

 

[Glaciacott]

Found these fan arts (comics?) at NeoGAF and I thought I'd share them here because they're adorable.

Spoiler

Holy balls, this is ADORABLE!

Things I love about smash: the torrent of awesome fanart that emerges for each character. So far, the stuff for Chorus Kids does not disappoint.
Just don't forget to include this kind of stuff in the imminent image gallery thread.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Just add me to the Choir already since I want to see these cute buggers in action. Also, for the sake of witnessing the butthurt and fanboy tears they would cause for the "hardcore" Smash fans.

 

[Louie G.]

Ugh, so many things to add to the OP.

Sounds like a plan though.

And don't worry, I'll get that support list growing. I've really just been lazy lately, with finals and all.

 

[Maraphy]

Does anyone have a compilation of moveset ideas that I could take a look at?

Why are smash fans so haircest?
And plus blue hair is an option for Robin

 

[Scoob]

OP is working on that. I'd like to see that myself. I can't wrap my head around these guys, but there are some creative folks on this board, so I'm interested to see what they come up with.

 

[Glaciacott]

I thought of a way to incorporate the "Perfect" and Flow ideas from Rhythm Heaven when I made a moveset for the Rhythm Monkey. I could share that here since it could easily be done for Chorus Kids as well. Just replace Monkey with Chorus Kids.

Spoiler

Perfects/Flow

As shown by Little Mac, it’s possible to think outside of the box, so here’s a shot at it. When playing as Monkey, you’ll notice a familiar symbol above your damage counter:

This P, to those familiar with Rhythm Heaven, remains on the screen as long as the player maintains perfect rhythm. Once a mistake takes place, the P breaks and disappears.

When you play as Monkey, you start with the P on your damage counter. The P will start to blink as you deliver hits, keeping a count of the beats of your hits. It’s activated once you connect three hits and increases the damage output of each hit culminating in a Smash attack at the end. Once you reach the Smash attack, the symbol won’t start blinking again until a combo takes place again. However, mis-time an attack or the Smash at the end, and the P will disappear and damage will go back to normal. Monkey doesn’t have a lot of power, so he requires proper timing to really send opponents packing!

(Alternative: Another way of getting this to work in a more quantifiable way is to take the “Flow” number from the RH series and keep it above the damage counter to keep track of your combo flow, to decrease or increase damage output considerably.)

Oh right! And in the moveset I had made one of the specials (Down B) a move that helps the "P" reappear. It kinds of feels like Deep Breath now ...

 

[Thegamerguy131]

I support this. I just wonder if the 3DS will be able to handle them.

Olimar with all three of his pikmin out works on the. 3DS. I think they'll work just fine.

Good point. In that case, all my support to them!

Although, I do wonder how they would look rendered in 3D.

 

[Deleted member]

I got an idea for their lose animation: two of the kids do that look of shame / disappointment / whatever to the third kid, who's clapping.

 

[Tides]

Honestly I'm excited thinking about all the expressions and sounds they could make. Especially if they get Star KO'd.

 

[Spinosaurus]

It just tells you how much potential they have in terms of expressions. They may be simplistic in appearance, but that allows freedom in what you could do with their animations.

I really can't wait to see them. Hopefully they aren't secret characters and they actually get a trailer. I think out of all the three they more likely will because:

-Not from an obscure series like Shulk. Rhythm Heaven is huge in Japan and a million seller, whereas Xenoblade only has a cult following. There has never been a popular series that was completely unlockable. (Only ones are Earthbound in 64, Fire Emblem in Melee for being Japan only during the time and G&W and ROB)
-Are from an unrepresented series, unlike Chrom.
-Considering Sakurai's love for Warioware (he helped promote D.I.Y), I wouldn't be surprised if he also loves Rhythm Heaven. Maybe he'll give them priority?
-Rhythm Tengoku's anniversary is in August, and the series has always released during the Summer in Japan. (Late July for Rhythm Tengoku Gold and Minna no Rhythm Tengoku) Nothing like that for Xenoblade or Fire Emblem Awakening.
-There's a Rhythm Heaven enemy in Smash Run, completely public in the DEMO. Not just the final game! So much for a secret. haha.

That said, I'd expect we'll get all three revealed by then instead of being kept secret.

That would be hilarious! even more fitting characters for me I wouldn't be clapping the winning side

 

[Louie G.]

@ Spinosaurus
I really hope we see Chorus Kids next.
If Rhythm Tengoku's anniversary is in August, which just so happens to fall on a Nintendo Direct month...
Well, you know.

Well, you know.

It doesn't really mean much for newcomers, but it's another factor to consider. Only newcomer that was revealed for any sort of anniversary was Little Mac.

Whole other story if the Direct is specifically on August 6th (Tengoku's release day), though.
