Masked Marauders - Skull Kid For Smash! Night of the Last Day.

[NintenRob]

Err, I just tried using voice 8 in action and I can't stand it and it completely takes me out of it. I think I'd rather high pitch voice 7 (or regular pitch maybe) or just leave him mute.

I wish we could insert our own voices.

 

[AnOkayDM]

You and I just disagree on just about everything, huh? I can't stand voice 7 either. It just sounds wrong to me. None of them are perfect, but 8 sounds better to me at least. But hey, no big deal.

 

[JoyStar]

I listened to a couple of them on a video. I think the ones I like best are voice 8 normal, voice 7 high, and maybe Type 2 but I'll need to listen again to those and the other ones, plus I feel I'd need to hear it more in action in battle rather than just one shot like the preview shows. It'll be interesting experimenting with the different voices!

On another (but still Skull Kid related note) dang I wish I knew how to use Source Filmmaker ir Blender (heck, just 3D animating in general, I don't draw or animate like ever). I found out there's a Skull Kid rig for it based on his appearance in Smash 4, and since I'm working on a Skull Kid song it would be cool to do a video with it, lol.

I would like Skull Kid. I roleplay with him as Mii Swordfighter

I thought the Skull Kid outfit only works for Mii Brawler?

Oh sorry it might be I forgot which one but there's a Skull Kid headgear and a Link blue tunic that I use to roleplay. It can throw spinning projectiles and has a rainbow counter move. I set the pitch of the voice high too

 

[NintenRob]

The issue I have with voice 8, is that it clearly intended for a women.

Now I know Skull Kid is voiced by a women, but the voice she gives him is a boy's voice, similar to Toon Link, so for me, hearing a voice clearly meant for a woman come out of Skull Kid was too off putting.

 

[UserKev]

How strong is Skull Kid's supporters now? Did we die down or are we really growing stronger?

 

[AnOkayDM]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I was just going with the one that actually sounded most like him to me. Voice 7 doesn't sound that much like him, and voice 8 sounded closer. It has sort of the quavery feeling that some of his actual voice clips have.

Once mods really take off, I'm sure people will have his actual voice imported pretty quickly though!

 

[JoyStar]

We're still here, and in my opinion a lot stronger than we were a year ago. There's just not much to talk about support-wise at the moment for anybody (regardless of who your most wanted is). People are playing Smash Ultimate now, though I think playing with the Skull Kid Mii costume online can at least show to some extent not only that we want Skull Kid as playable, but how he would fit into Smash and model-wise he already can work. I'm not sure how Ridley and K Rool supporters for instance showed support for their characters when a ballot wasn't going on, as this is my first Smash speculation cycle. But at the very least, K Rool, Isabelle, and Inkling were all 1st party characters who had Mii Costumes last game, and now are playable. Why not Skull Kid?

Not to mention assuming we don't get another Smash game for 8 years or so, I highly doubt DLC will stop in 2020. Could give a chance for some Assist Trophy upgrades—there's almost 30 open character slots as it stands, and it's been shown that some Assist Trophies can't appear under certain conditions (the Moon on Great Bay for one). It shouldn't be much trouble to patch it so the trophy for Skull Kid wouldn't appear if he were on the field.

Um... don't Skull Kid and Toon Link share the same voice actress?

 

[TheCJBrine]

I think I used high-pitch Voice 2 for my Skull Kid mii.

He sounds more feminine, but it fits him, especially one of the sounds the mii makes; it sounds sorta like the noise he makes at the beginning of Majora's Mask when he's caught off-guard by Link at least, according to my memory.

 

[StormC]

I'm not sure how Ridley and K Rool supporters for instance showed support for their characters when a ballot wasn't going on, as this is my first Smash speculation cycle.

Well, K. Rool wouldn't be in without the ballot, but, he built up a userbase thanks to SmashBoards threads (he was easily one of the most popular characters for Smash 4 speculation, meaning his fans could hit the ballot hard when it came out), and the Kremling Kampaign on Twitter, which was a dedicated social media account focused on bringing back K. Rool, whether it was through DKC or Smash.

Ridley, like K. Rool, has had a large presence on SmashBoards, as well as being a common Smash subject due to, well... memes. During mid-late Brawl and all of Smash 4 discussion, you couldn't discuss Smash online and not bump into Ridley discussion. He was just that omnipresent, not just because he was popular, but because he was controversial. It was enough that Sakurai was aware of Ridley's popularity before even the ballot - he said that he knew Ridley was a "much anticipated name among fans." Nintendo Treehouse has also said that they browse forums and social media and sometimes send that feedback to Sakurai/Nintendo Of Japan. YouTube videos, social media posts, hell, even letters (Ridley fans sent a gigantic book) can all help.

I said this in the Dixie thread, but it's a marathon, not a sprint. If you really want to see Skull Kid in Smash, keep discussing him online - politely, of course - and keep him alive in Smash discussion. Don't let him fizzle out like other flavor of the months, but also don't become so overbearing that you might turn away supporters. It's a tricky line to walk, but if Skull Kid can maintain his momentum and popularity, perhaps one day he will make the jump.

Whenever there is a meeting, a parting is sure to follow. However, that parting need not last forever... Whether a parting be forever or merely for a short time... That is up to you.

Good luck.

Signed,

A Kutthroat

I unlocked the Skull Kid Mii costume and played a match with him. He looks great. I tried to setup a moveset that fits him, anyone have anything in mind? I know that having him as a brawler is lame as he would focus on magic but I still enjoyed having the costume.

I was personally thinking Shotput, Soaring Axe Kick, Feint Jump, and Burning Drop Kick. But that's just going based of short clips I've seen of a couple of moves and not experiencing them for myself yet.

 

[Blade of Evil's Bane]

Loooool. So there's at least one person playing as Skull Kid online (all right, AnOkayDM we know it's you or Frankenstein_Gaming ...)

 

[AnOkayDM]

Heh, I have not gone online in this game and I probably won't much. If I did, I would represent our boy though!

 

[JoyStar]

Honestly I'm considering getting Nintendo Online primarily just to play as Skull Kid online.

 

[NintenRob]

I played a match as Skull Kid online

Although they remove the name online, it's just "Mii Brawler"

 

[AnOkayDM]

Yeah, I guess that's to prevent stuff like Hitler and slurs...unfortunate, but understandable.

They don't change the skin color to default, do they?

Default miis would ruin the whole point of miis.

 

[NintenRob]

Don't worry, Skull Kid Mii still had the darker skin.

Can't comment on face.

 

[AnOkayDM]

Luckily for our purposes, the face doesn't matter! Though it would be pretty ****ty if they did make them default, because yeah, they're supposed to be custom.

 

[_sneaK]

Was surprised but pleased to find skull kid is a smash tag icon. Never changing that.

unless of course the possibility of skull kid becoming a fighter becomes reality. then i will most definitely take that hd skull kid render.

Out of curiosity, have any of you ever cosplayed Skull Kid before?

I'm thinking of asking for a wearable replica of Majora's Mask as a late Christmas/birthday present, as there are a couple cons I want to go to in the coming year and it would be cool to be Skull Kid there (plus for Halloween as well).

I was thinking of asking for this one if I do. It seems to be the most accurate to me, it apparently has good visibility, and it can be worn by us glasses-wearers (I asked the creator on YouTube just to be sure).

The one downside is it's really expensive (though actually almost $100 less than the 2nd-most accurate one I saw), and I'm not 100% sure that I want to be Skull Kid though I think it would be really really cool, since I've never cosplayed at a con before and Skull Kid's design rules. Plus it would take 10-12 weeks to make and there's a con pretty close to me at the end of March.

 

[TheCJBrine]

I must have mask.

My family cannot afford mask unless they sell my Christmas stuffs.

I am sad skeleton man.

 

[NintenRob]

I wore a home made Majora's mask to a mates themed party once, but I can't afford anything elaborate

I honestly don't have enough confidence to try to make one on my own. ^^; I have no know-how with either how to use a 3D printer or wood carving, so it would probably be cheaper for me to just get that Mask online. At least then I'd know it would be good quality. XD

I just looked it up, apparently it costs $50-150 to rent a 3D printer for a week (and that's not even factoring it what would be the cost of the materials, the paint, etc), and purchasing one is almost $500. The normal non-LED non-woodgrained Mask is $185. Definitely seems like it would be cheaper to get the Mask itself.

You say that, but when I say home made, I mean a piece of paper glued onto some cardboard.

Ohh, good point. XD Yeah, that could probably be done. I mean, it may not look as professional, but hey, it would be something!

 

[AnOkayDM]

I asked for a wearable Majora's Mask for Christmas, so we'll see if I end up getting that.

Oh sweet! I wonder which one it is your family might get you!

 

[Lundcraft]

Have any of you tried to make your own spirit fighter using Skull Kid with Majora's Mask as support? The challange is nuts!

I'm going to try that once I get the game, lol. Do you get both of them in WoL or on the Spirits board? What's the challange like?

You can get unmasked Skull Kid in WoL and make him masked after level 99. Then he has lifesteal. The Mask you can buy from the WoL shops. Both combinded are stupid strong.

Reminds me of these videos where this dude makes the most lifelike mask I've ever seen. Wish I was that gifted in woodworking. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2iZmLUHiASI

Cookie decorating with the family, and there was a heart cookie, so...

Certainly not perfect, but I did what I could with frosting and paintbrushes. Dunno why it's rotated, sorry about that.

P.S. A bonus Wind Fish as well!

 

[OptimisticStrifer]

Does anyone here sort of wish Skull Kid DID end up being a boss? I like (most) of the Boss Battles in Ultimate a lot!

 

[Blade of Evil's Bane]

Isabelle surpasses the power of Majora's Mask? Well... i'll be damned...

A true work of art!

Like it was discussed a few times before in this thread, one of Majora's forms could have been a better fit for a bossfight imo but i guess they could have pulled off something cool for a Skull Kid bossfight, on the top of the Clocktower where time is the real enemy like idk you must beat Skull Kid in a limited amount of time or else the moon comes crashing into the stage and you end up losing (meanwhile he's just dodging, flying around and laughing at you).

But imagine if he was a boss, an AT, a Mii Costume and a Spirit in Ultimate... at this point, just make him playable for god's sake...

 

[AnOkayDM]

Looks like I've met with a terrible fate...

Merry Christmas and happy holidays, everybody!
