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

[Opossum]

I think I found my new favorite song...

If this doesn't play on either the Rhythm Heaven stage or Pilotwings, I will be extremely disappointed.


BA BOM BOM BOM.

Welcome to the Club

 

[Opossum]

But...I've been part of the Glee Club for quite a while...

 

[Banjodorf]

Well, I just picked up Rhythm Heaven for the DS. Let's do this!

Edit: Holy **** why is Glee Club so hard.

Ahahah, I remember trying to do it my own "style", as in letting the last one wail extra long. But eh, it didn't work.

 

[Spinosaurus]

Edit: Holy **** why is Glee Club so hard.

LOL It was my first RH and I got stuck there too. It's why they're so memorable to me. It's super easy now if I play it.

Moai da Woop and Rhythm Rally can burn in a fire though. They'll never NOT be hard.

 

[Brickbuild101]

Should we start referring to them as the Chorus Trio? That's what the latest leak is calling 'em.

Is that what it says in the obviously false "Gematsu Plus?"

 

[Banjodorf]

Is that what it says in the obviously false "Gematsu Plus?"

Yep. I sure wish it wasn't obviously false, it has everything I'd want that's not crocodile-shaped.

Which of course is why it's false. Man, if by some miracle Wario got revealed tonight, damn.

"My Friend's Auntie, who works at Bandai Namco, told me Rhythm Heaven is getting 7 reps, Ridley is a stage boss, and Mewtwo will never return. Ever. As evidence, she told me tonight's PotD will be complete filler."

Twice as credible as Gematsu+ , right? The weekly "____ will be revealed this week" is starting to become some sort of meme.
Hey, 7 Rhythm Heaven characters would actually be pretty cool...

 

[im just peachy]

there's 3 of them ! I'm sure they're probably going to work
Somewhat like ice climbers wouldn't you say ?
And Didn't sakurai say he was having trouble with ice climbers in the 3ds version?
I don't know about this.. Plus they're kinda creepy

The thing about Chorus Kids is that there's no reason for them to separate a la Climbers.

They'd probably be programmed as one, since their attacks rely on staying together and keeping rhythm.

 

[Fancy]

New character reveal soon. Hoping its Chorus Men.

Have I missed something? Character reveal where?

[Rasumii]

OHO! Why thank you. Would have missed it!

You think sakurai would do this special like this Monday live video stream announcement to reveal chorus men ? I mean they cute and all but not a lot of people know about them.

Wii Fit Trainer was revealed at E3...

I mean not many people know Shulk or Chrom either.

 

[lilt]

"See? There's a variety of characters. Huh? One of them looks pretty recent."

That Taiko Drum might be a hint at what expects us on monday. Both a Rhythm heavy games, and the drum looks quite like Marshall.

Wouldn't Pikmin & Olimar create the same difficulties? That's potentially 16 character on screen at once.

4 Chorus Men clocks in at 13. We dunno if you have to potential to KO each one separately like Nana either.

Luma basically follows the same follow pattern as Nana if not being directly controlled to attack.

 

[Zzuxon]

Chorus Men being able to de-synchronize like the ice climbers would be a major injustice to the character and series.
Which is why I don't think it will happen, they'll act like 1 character.

 

[chronomantic]

I want to be hyped for the Chorus Kids even if it's unlikely. I'd die if it's really them.

 

[Spinosaurus]

It's probably Shulk by the way, one of the script writers for the series retweeted the anouncement.

Don't get your hopes up (though I want it to be Chorus Kids too)

 

[Banjodorf]

Well, either way, we'll only be 2 months away from seeing them for real if they don't get announced Monday. Why can't I hold all this hype?!

 

[Morbi]

If the reveal is a Gematsu character, I am the most excited for Chorus Men. I really want to see what Sakurai has done with them. That being said, I am not necessarily expecting them, but I am hoping for them.

 

[chronomantic]

Even if it's Shulk it's still good news for us.

How're you liking Rhythm Heaven so far? =D

 

[Banjodorf]

How're you liking Rhythm Heaven so far? =D

It's awesome! The music is soooo good! Although I stopped right now on the one after that, the "Fueling Fix-up!" one. The damn robots just don't want to be filled. Oh my... Sigh.

 

[WwwWario]

I just keep praying that the Gematsu Leak is fake and that the Chorus Men don't make it in. ASSUMING the leak is real, it means we only have 3 newcomers left; Chrom, Shulk and these guys. I've never played Rhytm Heaven, and I know characters don't need to fight in their games in order to make it into Smash, but I can see so many others that deserve a spot more than these guys.

First of all, if they make it in, I don't hope they're Ice Climbers 2.0. Ice Climbers is unique, and the Chorus Men would overshadow Climbers then.

Then back to what I said with deserving a spot - what about the bigger series? From for example the Legend of Zelda, one of the biggest game franchises in history, won't get a newcomer, but three rhythm men will instead? I mean, we got new Zelda characters in Melee, we got a new one (Toon Link) in Brawl, but no new here? (Yes, Sheik is her own character now, but now a NEW one). Only from Skyward Sword we have Demise, Girahim and more. Girahim would make a perfect spot on the roster. Same thing with the Metroid series. And Donkey Kong series. And more.

Smash is about all-stars. So I find it weird that for example R.O.B made it into Brawl, but not a new Zelda character, new Metroid character, etc. Look at Pokemon. They got the Pokemon Trainer AND Lucario in Brawl, and they got Greninja in Smash 4. Pokemon is a big series, and it deserves new characters. The same thing with Zelda, Donkey Kong, etc.

So, not to hate on Rhythm Heaven or anything, but if the Gematsu Leak is real, I simply cannot understand how Sakurai can choose to overshadow their biggest franchises with characters like the Wii Fit Trainer (that no one asked for) and the Chorus Men...

 

[Banjodorf]

I'd say it's because he's going for uniqueness this time around. I'm not saying Ridley or K. Rool (Who I'm one of the biggest supporters for, by the way.) couldn't be unique, but Sakurai is a weird guy, and Rhythm Heaven is a popular series.

I can just see him playing it and going "I can make a cool character out of those guys." Besides, like has been said, making the Chorus Men ICs+1 would make no sense based on their design, since they're supposed to act as one syncronized unit (they get ****** if you don't.) as opposed to a climbing team that helps eachother out.

 

[Spinosaurus]

snip

Why shouldn't Rhythm Heaven get a rep? It's one of more popular new IPs from Nintendo, so is it not an all-star series?

There's more value in representing a whole series than another character from a popular series, who'd just represent themselves at this point. If all we got were characters people asked for then in all honesty, Smash would just be a series about popular characters, and not exactly the best tribute to Nintendo's history. We wouldn't have Captain Falcon or Ness otherwise, because I could assure you NO ONE would ask for them if they didn't make it in.

 

[FancysaurusRex]

Plus don't forget that the Gematsu leak never said those were all the characters. They missed Rosalina, after all.

It's awesome! The music is soooo good! Although I stopped right now on the one after that, the "Fueling Fix-up!" one. The damn robots just don't want to be filled. Oh my... Sigh.

My trick for that one was to count 1...2...3...fillerup! Like in the practice mode. The fan club one tho...it's too much for me. Glad the barista lets you skip ones you suck at.

I thought fan club was super easy. The fueling robots one too!

SCREW RHYTHM RALLY THOUGH

Completely agree with this. Smash doesn't get anywhere if all our newcomers are from already represented series. Plus more people discover series this way. I know I wouldn't have touched Xenoblade, nor discovered Rhythm Heaven if Gematsu didn't claim they're in.
Which is why I will be ticked if the Gematsu 3 don't end up joining. I spent money on them!

 

[Hippopotasauce]

I really really hope the reveal isn't the Chorus Kids, or any Gematsu character actually.
I'd be happy enough for it, but 95% of people wouldn't be, and I don't want even more negativity focused towards these guys.

plus if the gematsu leak's not real there's always the chance at another Rhythm Heaven character
like Karate Joe maybe

 

[FancysaurusRex]

Why does everyone forget poor DJ Yellow?

Although I don't really want Karate Joe playable over other characters in the series, I have to admit, he is by far the most deserving. Plus Struck by the Rain is an incredible song. Therefore, I wouldn't be too upset at his inclusion over Chorus Men.

 

[Spinosaurus]

I just learned not to take the complaints to heart. Tell you what, I'm really selfish on who I want and I won't feel sympathy for others. I don't think it's a serious enough matter to actually worry about what others say; that's their problem. As far as I'm concerned, I thought a Rhythm Heaven character was a pipe dream, so I'm good.

I remember back in the UMVC3 days MOST PEOPLE were against Phoenix Wright and Rocket Raccoon because of the leak, and this used to bother me so much because I really wanted them. When they got revealed, people warmed up to them. (even though they ended up being **** lol) Fast forward a few years and Ace Attorney got a new (really successful) game in AA5 and now we're getting a movie EVERYONE is looking forward to featuring the raccoon himself. In the end, it's just a vocal minority complaining. The vast majority don't know there's a leak existing. (The NeoGAF thread about the new reveal had a lot of people that didn't know about it.)

 

[Sarki Soliloquy]

Y'know, I said something in the Unpopular Smash Opinions thread that amounted to everyone will enjoy whatever character Sakurai adds in. Maybe because he reverts our expectations. That's what I feel the Chorus Men are facing right now.

If the Chorus Kids are revealed then I do think they'll gain a couple of fans just from seeing them, but I don't think it will be a universal thing. There are still some people that don't like Miis, Palutena, Pac-Man, etc. even though they're revealed.
