Little Mac, W.V.B.A. Champion confirmed for SSB4

Darn Double Post

On the star system. I checked out Hotfeet's video and I don't think it should be too easy to get stars. That's why I restricted getting stars only for one move. I also wanted into reflect in game mechanics so I want him to lose all his stars when he gets hit. So the best players benefit from the star system the most.

I also think that through a Counter-type move, Little Mac should get his stars.

That way, the counter wouldn't be a clone of the other ones, while implementing the Star System in one of the most faithful ways possible to the source material.

I can see little mac happen I mean lots of requests confirmed that the arena is a boxing ring due to the number of cords wrestling rings have 3 boxing rings have 4 and the stage looks like the world circuit ring

I think Little Mac should lose his stars like Kirby loses his copy abilities, that would be more balanced in my opinion. Imagine having 3 stars and then get hit by a stray projectile and lose it all, that wouldn't be fun.

After thinking it over, I was thinking maybe it could be changed so that was the case as well. But I would still want him at least a little less resilient than Kirby's copy ability.

How about some Super Punch-Out!! Music, because why not?

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Speaking of Kirby what's the idea of how he'll look when he swallows Little Mac? Spikey black hair? Boxing gloves? Boxing trunks?

I think he gets really small gloves, and black hair. I think they could also give him a headgear like Glass Joe gets in title defense mode. The gloves and head gear would be green of course.

I find no theme as memorable as this one. Would be amazing remixed, or even used for some training minigames (personalized Break The Targets pl0x)

I love that song. But I also find it quite sad. I remember someone posting it back in the Brawl days when Little Mac was announced as an Assist Trophy. Sad times indeed...

Oh well...

Decided to go back to the past a bit, and post a little timeline of "Little Mac" designs over the ages. Granted, not all of them were called Little Mac, but I'm adding them anyway because they were Punch Out's main characters either way.

Here goes:

Punch Out, Arcade (1984) - Super Punch Out, Arcade (1985)

----------------------------------------------------------------

Arm Wrestling! (1985)
((Could it be the same guy? He's green haired after all, and sports the more recent look.. besides, that's Bald Bull under the mask, why would he need to hide his face? Unless he was ashamed to face the guy who defeated him and put him out of his boxing career))

----------------------------------------------------------------

Mike Tyson's Punch Out! (1987) / Punch Out! ft. Mr.Dream (1990)

----------------------------------------------------------------

Super Punch Out! (1994)

----------------------------------------------------------------

Fight Night Round 2 (2005)

----------------------------------------------------------------

Super Smash Bros. Brawl (2008)

----------------------------------------------------------------

Captain Rainbow (2008)

----------------------------------------------------------------

Punch Out!! (Wii) (2009)

-----------------------------------------------------------------


And there you have it. Little Mac through the ages. Granted, not all of them were named Little Mac (though Nintendo actually confirmed that 1994-2005 Snes Punch Out protagonist is indeed Little Mac, just with a different hairdo).


Great to see how the character has evolved. I must say his most recent look is BY FAR my favorite one.
Wonder if I missed any. (Besides the slim version of Captain Rainbow design, but I can tell it's basically the hi-def version of the NES in-game design)

edit: Thanks FalKoopa. :D

@Shinhed-echi
You missed the Brawl design.

I'm not that familiar with Punch-Out, (only played the NES one) but his SNES look is... strange.

Fight Night Little Mac is nightmare fuel.

 

[Starcutter]

I really hope we don't get fat mac.

or should I say....

[BKupa666]

On the subject of Punch Out!! music on the Smash Circuit stage, do you think we'll get one "Punch Out!! Theme" track and a mix of other retro tracks, or several remixes of the theme in the style of Mac's various opponents, like in the Wii version? I'm hoping that at least one of the Aran Ryan, Soda Popinski, Sandman, or Disco Kid remixes makes it in.

 

[Opossum]

I'm personally hoping for Aran Ryan, Soda Popinski, and Von Kaiser's themes, as well as the general main theme.

Believe me, this is one of the main reasons why I don't want a semi-realistic Punch Out game on the Wii U.

Speaking of which... Looking back at "Big Mac", the perspective in which his Belly is viewed from, makes it look like an actual hamburger, and the green trunks looks like lettuce coming out from within. O_O

As for music, I hope they do something like... either a different theme every day, or one huge medley of all versions of the fight theme.

Cannot unsee...

You must not of noticed Super Punch-Out!! for SNES existing. They could borrow some music from there. They could also use the NES/Wii's training theme in the ring as well.

Seems like Super Punch-Out is destined to be the "forgotten" entry in the series. I imagine most PO stuff in Smash will be drawn from the NES and Wii titles.

 

[IsmaR]

Needless to say, I'm hoping for the training montage/saving/nwordstolemybike theme remix to show up. I'd also like the staff roll theme.

Sign me up to get Little Mac in SSB4. Never played a Punch-Out game, but I still want him in.

That's the spirit!
:D

Just finished adding Doc Louis' Pause theme to his own fight theme medley (which lacked the pause theme) found on Youtube. Added it to the Unofficial Punch Out soundtrack in my hard drive.

These updates need to step it up a bit, kinda lol'd at Samus punching those Pikmin. I think we've had quite a few Pikmin-related pics already.

If you ever get a chance, I really suggest playing a Punch-Out game. They're fun! :D

If you have a spare $50, the Wii version could be nice way to break into the series. Or you could download the NES one for the various virtual consoles, including Wii, 3DS, and I believe Wii U as well.

I thought the wii version was like 30$ now with the nintendo select series.

*$20, it's a Nintendo Select title.

 

[Opossum]

*$20, it's a Nintendo Select title.

Huh, I didn't know that.

I guess it was because I bought it close to when it first came out, haha.

No problems.

Little Mac has now surpassed the 100 supporters!

Woo hoo! Yeah!

By the way, count me in as a Little Mac supporter too

 

[StupendousMike]

Me as well. Of all the potential newcomers, I can't think of a character who DESERVES to be in this series more than Mac.

 

[Fastblade5035]

Small Apple for Sm4sh.

 

[MexM]

Count me in!

 

[Hippopotasauce]

Anyone else think every character model in Punch Out Wii looks good except for Little Mac?
The artwork is fine, but something about the model is off to me.

It could have been worse.

He could have had a penis-neck.

 

[Hippopotasauce]

Dear lord.

 

[Opossum]

What in the name of...

You know what? Little Mac needs a really good figma to make up for...that.

 

[shinhed-echi]

Anyway, kudos to that guy because if he's who I think he is, he made Custom action figures out of the whole Punch Out roster. (Original game).
You have no idea how much I envy him.

 

[Starcutter]

so that rumor says little mac is in.


how do you feel about that. I mean, for me it was obvious.

Little PenisMac action figure confirmed!
