It Came From Beyond Subspace....

[Kelexo]

Could a Smasher ask for more?

this forum is proof that, no matter what, a smasher can and WILL always ask for more.

 

[falcofuku69]

tomorrow im hoping for a final smash

 

[Wave⁂]

Shayda look to me like a Metroid (Prime) kind of enemy. I've only played Echoes, anybody want to comment (and not flame)?

 

[Gamingboy]

Samus has seen some freaky **** in her time, but nothing can prepare her for this:

Snake is even less prepared.

This was quite possibly one of the worst updates ever, and the salt in the wound that was the infamous three week drought.

I'm already dreadfully sick of Subspace updates, as I'd rather just see all of this for myself come release. But this was just pushing it a little far.

What part of this reads "Nintendo All-Stars" to you? They're littering the Subspace Emissary with original content, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's completely backwards to what Smash Bros. as a series stands for.

At this point I would gladly accept a create-a-brawler mode. They've already broken the "Nintendo All-Star" barrier, so why not?

Hopefully they keep it constrained to adventure mode. If I have to look at these ugly designs and generic backdrops in multiplayer I'll just lose it.

Here's hoping for a better update tonight, because honestly, I'm sick of hearing myself complain about bad updates.

Here's two crazy Ideas:


Don't go to the Dojo
Don't buy SSBB

 

[EnFerris]

Has anyone considered that the entire subspace army is comprised of scrapped ideas for other games, that are now back for revenge against the successful characters? I have been thinking about this sice I saw R.O.B, and Popant sure looks like a pokemon that died on the drawing board.

 

[silver777]

I am so glad that i won't have to beat Gommbas and Octorocks ALL OVER AGAIN.

Seriously people... How many times do we have to beat these guys again and again?!?

thanks Sakurai for making original ones! ^_^

 

[Goopygoo]

Poppant: I have a present for you. Reach in and see, baby.

 

[Weed]

Poppant sort of reminds me of the old pedophile from Family Guy.
"Why dont you just reach in there and fish it out for me"

 

[The Duck]

It’s a cool update…so I might as well give my two cents on each creature.

Roader Doesn’t look that extraordinary for a motorcycle-based enemy, but it still looks cool and should be a tough obstacle in groups.

Poppant Pretty easy to guess that those candies will serve as healing items, or something else…some could heal a little, others could heal a lot, and still others would make for greater feats…but taking each one or chasing these guys in some areas might lead to a price, so it should be interesting.

Bytan Hmm, I guess they make for small attacks, but each color might do something different.

Trowlon These guys probably just KO characters, but worse things could happen. Can’t say what, but more dangerous forms of these guys might do worse things.

Shaydas Yep, looks like a miniboss to me. Really cool-looking and a possible challenge.

Auroros Reminds me of those Burrowing Snagret birds from Pikmin. A really interesting design, looks like we can pull them out of the ground as a clobbering item or even a throwing spear, so this might come in handy for boss battles.

Greap I guess the name refers to the Grim Reaper with his scythe…which is kind of like a sickle. It’s probably a mini-boss as well, before Shaydas because it looks bulky and slow, though it’s a gamble as to which one hits harder.

R.O.B. Squad I had a feeling that those robots from the Petey cutscene were ‘ROB’ robots. Looks like we might have to pummel them, then throw them out of the area. If we just don’t hit them out first.

Pretty interesting stuff…though it’s a bit too bad that Sakurai didn’t mention anything relating to ‘*International* Talk Like a Pirate Day’ (Sep. 19, the update day), but I don’t know if the Japanese pay much attention to that anyway so I only half-expected any mention. Yahr indeed.

I'm usually not one to pick favorites, but I'll make an exception, so Auroros and, in first place, Shaydas, are my favorites out of the bunch. The others are tied in 4th behind Poppan.

That's not a bad theory at all. My take was that the enemies were Subspace Army-ized versions of enemies from other Nintendo games, but I like what you came up with too. Maybe there is some background to these odd looking enemies that is more than meets the eye. And maybe Sakurai will reveal this to us at some point. Maybe...

 

[Tony_]

R.O.B Is an enemy.

WE ARE ****ED.

 

[.:DRAKE:.]

I think all these enemies are acceptable (barely), except the "Trowlon".

"...lift characters up and fly off with them," you say?

"****ing lame," is what I say.

 

[Florida]

I'm not going to bag on the new enemies we're getting for the Subspace Emissary, because I actually like them. However, I am going to say that the names given to these enemies are completely ********. The only decent name is the R.O.B. Squad.

 

[ZenJestr]

am I the only one who thinks that the stage that Link is fighting Shaydas in looks like Faron Woods from TP?

 

[Kabyk-Greenmyst]

Should be, considering all it looks like is a cavern.

Shaydas FTW!

 

[Dashiamo]

In the picture of Link fighting Shaydas, what level is that? reminds me of somewhere of Twilight Princess

Edit: I just read the post above and the quote... Yeah i agree with you

 

[Wave⁂]

Shaydas would have to be able to move considerably fast to be considered a good semi-boss.

 

[Knyaguy]

the roader looks cool

 

[Kraid Guy]

Shayda look to me like a Metroid (Prime) kind of enemy. I've only played Echoes, anybody want to comment (and not flame)?

It looks like something from Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, like one of those twilight creatures. And the background looks a lot like the camping site in Gerudo Desert. The Ing in Metroid Prime 2 are different looking.

This was pointed out by the user "ZeroHP" at Starmen.net.

Take a look at the Fourside Sewers:

Now check out this level in Subspace:

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/modea/images/modea06/modea06_070919c.jpg

Does that not look incredibly similar? It leads me to believe that Earthbound will be in Brawl at least somehow.

Also, those enemies resemble Smilin' Spheres:

http://www.videogamesprites.net/Earthbound/MapEnemies/Smilin' Sphere.gif

Am I just stretching it or do I have a point?

http://starmen.net/forum/?t=msg&th=38603

That's pretty interesting! I definitely see a resemblence.

 

[Kraid Guy]

The smilin' spheres are kinda different. No eyes and in brawl their teeth are showing. But the background does look like fourside sewers.

 

[dooky]

You know, I just realised what the Poppant reminds me of. It looks like a cousin from Katamari Damacy.

 

[Shritistrang]

In the new Sonic movie, we see him spindashing through a tunnel, and through a couple of enemies. Do you think those will be new, original monsters of the Subspace Army? Because I have the feeling they kinda looked like the ReDeads from Twilight Princess.
