Individualized Victory Themes

[Guybrush20X6]

Here's what we know, A. Meta Knight has his own victory music despite sharing the same Icon as Kirby and Dedede. B. Data was found suggesting that all characters in Brawl had their own victory music.

Would you want the characters in Smash 4 to have their own Victory themes and if so which ones?

My picks

Luigi: Luigi's Mansion's Item Get theme
Peach: Super Mario World stage end music
Bowser: Game over music remix
Pokemon Trainer: The music that plays when you defeat a gym leader and they give you a badge.
Diddy Kong: Diddy's victory Beat boxing from DKC2
Wolf: Star Wolf Theme snippet
Ness: Give him his one from Melee and Lucas can keep the new one.

I really would love it if this happened.

Dedede: Intro to Dedede's theme(i.e. the first 2 seconds of this)

 

[Vintage Creep]

I would like to see individualized icons too.
Mario has the Fire Flower, Luigi the torch, Peach the Mushroom, Bowser the Bowser Icon from Mario Party...
And themes too.
All in the name of variety. These things + alternate costumes + combined victory poses would make every single match potentially different.

 

[FlareHabanero]

This idea is a possibility and will probably sneak it's way onto the next game. It was already planned for Brawl, and in traditional developer fashion ideas that don't work last time are implemented into the next installment.

 

[Pazzo.]

It's a clever idea. As you said, Meta Knight was evidence that this may be implemented in the next game. Call me a broken record, but I'd love to hear something from Luigi's mansion for Luigi's winning theme, as stated before.

It would be nice but for timing sake I hope the energy is put into the following: Balancing, Gameplay, Stages, and Increasing the size of the roster.

Everything else is secondary.

Yep no doubt important stuff>Over stuff.

It's true but for something so little... Really they could hire a random person around the world, I don't think the job would require more than a week.

 

[Frostwraith]

All they need to do is to have the music composer(s) and the sound team to make more victory jingles.

I don't think it is something that harms the development of the game, considering that the musical composition and the programming of the game are done by different teams.

 

[Vintage Creep]

And anyway I'm fairly certain that the majority of the scrapped data from Brawl wasn't in the game because the DVD was simply full (remember, 7.9 out of 8 gigabyte max). Obviously music is the first thing to go if they need space.

My guess is that "personalized" victory themes will just be "personalized" versions of the main victory theme, like Meta Knight.
Seeing as he has one, the Kirby series would be best as an example:

Victory theme for Kirby series: Short Kirby Dance
Kirby's version: Whimsical and cheery, like Brawl's and Smash 64's versions.
Meta Knight's version: Rocking and electric, like his personalized version from Brawl.
King Dedede's version: Regal and orchestral, like Melee's version.

 

[FalKoopa]

I'd prefer individualised ones, atleast for the villians.

True. Although intro animations, music, item animation, etc. also calls for a lot of time.

 

[Frostwraith]

While gameplay is definitely the most important part of any game, those little details also are important aesthetically, especially in a game like Smash Bros. where even the tiniest easter egg can be a shout out to a previously released game.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

I'll post some youtube links for potential themes

Mario World

 

[BridgesWithTurtles]

The first two seconds of this for Lucario
I want them to replace ROB's theme with the Famicom Disk System startup jingle
And Sonic's with the Extra Life jingle from Sonic 1.
Level Clear from Super Princess Peach for, well, Peach.

 

[Dark Phazon]

the online imo is a massive priority MASSIVE!.

 

[Vintage Creep]

I love these.
Even though the Luigi one is maybe too short.

 

[Deleted member]

But R.O.B.'s theme is taken directly from Stack-Up, a game he is an accessory for.
And the Stage Clear Jingle from Sonic 3 and up is too iconic to replace; especially with a mere Life Up Jingle.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Yuui's idea isn't too bad (actually I might prefer it more to individualized tunes).

There's plenty of tunes though so I wonder if the composers and the developers are willing to dedicate themselves on this, really.

 

[fogbadge]

im prefer it victory theme by series

 

[BridgesWithTurtles]

All of this I know. I'd just prefer them anyway, haha. Maybe as alternatives? Customizable victory themes, perhaps.

 

[Deleted member]

Custom victory themes? Like the idea of playing your own music in a match?
That'd be cool. Shame it'd never happen....

 

[Guybrush20X6]

No I think Turtles means like in Playstation All Stars where you unlock 2 victory themes for you characters and you can choose of course this comes at the cost of everyone having a boring default theme and everyone online being to lazy to change it. That would be cool and might tie in with the 3DS version's customization but may be a lot of work.

Agreed. I am just probably being a worry wart. I think there is a lot of pessimism about Smash 4 because although Brawl was a great game and had a lot, people were expecting so much more back in the day.

 

[Dark Phazon]

Lets just hope 25GB is enough...

 

[Big-Cat]

Here's some that I had in mind:

Zero Suit Samus
Peach
Lucas
Toon Link

This is indeed what I meant, though custom playback support would be cool as well, though I highly doubt that'll happen.

If it isn't, they can make the disc dual layered for 50GB or even triple layered for a total of 75GB.

If that's the case I hope that the WiiU's laser is stronger than the Wii's. I had to buy a laser cleaner to get Brawl to work.

Anyway, here some themes for potential new Characters

Krystal
Geno
Palutena (With or without Pit's singing)
King K. Rool

I didn't know a disc could be even triple layered. Anyway my Wii simply can't stand the idea of playing Brawl anymore. I had to buy a Wii U to play it again lol.

I like the music anyway, obviously they should be shorter.

I didnt know a disc could be triple layer either but i was being kinda sarcastic ofc 25GB is enough look what the 360/PS3 can do with 8GB games!

& WiiU is more powerful and much more disc space. I ust hope they use up 90/+ of the disc space like they did with Melee & Brawl.

Not sure howw much more content we will get though because i know real HD/Cutscenes/Story will take up half if not more than the disc space...

PS3 blurays have 25 GB of space anyway. Not sure about 360.
Anyway yes, they have plenty of space.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Palutena (With or without Pit's singing)

I demand Pit sings the main theme for SSB4.

Considering that Final Fantasy XII had to use three discs on the 360 version, it's likely that a 360 disc is 8-9 GBs.

Probably since they're DVDs like Wii's.

I can... Imagine that....

 

[Frostwraith]

I demand Pit sings the main theme for SSB4.

Pffft... Pit singing the main theme? That's nothing.

How about Team Rocket trio's motto vs. Pit and Dark Pit's pre-boss-battle rallying cry?

 

[TheFirstPoppyBro]

Olimar's victory theme should have been the small theme that plays when you kill a boss monster in Pikmin 2. Not what we got in Brawl.

 

[Big-Cat]

I demand Pit sings the main theme for SSB4.

More specifically, if either Palutena beats Pit or a Pit and Palutena team win a match.

You know what? We need special win poses for certain teams. I always thought that was cool in Tekken Tag and it gives insight on the characters' relations.
