This stage looks nice. 4 more months...

 

[Rhus]

I have convinced myself that Sakurai cares not for Star Fox.

Fox is almost never in PotD, he's waited till now to reveal a stage, and still no other Star Fox representatives aside from the obligatory McCloud have even been hinted at.

That being said, I'm elated over this. So happy it's getting some attention.

 

[Reoyoshi8]

Wow, so we got the Great Fox as out Star Fox stage.

It's kind of anti-climatic IMO, while it looks good, it seems to be Sector Z from SSB64 with an Assault skin. Didn't Brawl also play up the Assault aesthetics for Lylat Cruise, or was that mainly Command-based?

Either way, they're definitely referencing most of the Star Fox games, with the Assault stage, Fox's Command-styled appearance and the voice acting from 64 (F-IYER!). I wonder if we'll see any content from the original Star Fox, the 64 3D remake and the upcoming Wii U installment, but I'm doubting that last one. But any Stairfax content is good Stairfax content.

Content from the original?
How could you forget Andross?

 

[IsmaR]

Peppy is retired... so that must mean her and Slippy are in those Arwings.

[collapse="Assault Spoilers"]He could pilot just the front part of the Great Fox.[/collapse]
Anyway neat. It's not like I like Star Fox stages or anything.

Shhhh when there are 4 Star Fox characters this time around you will be wrong...

Sakurai loves StarFox. He had to pretty much invent the character move set wise. Blaster? Reflector? Fire Fox? Phantasm? All made up junk. Then copied another 2 times. Thats a lot of love imo. Star Fox will get more love this time around even if Fox may not be as good as before.

Sakurai is saving the best for last heheheh

 

[CaptainSyrup]

Just. spectacular.

Also, it serves the dual purpose of getting me hyped for both Smash 4 AND the next Starfox game. (It's about time you showed up, Miyamoto - you're the only hope for this franchise! /pepper)

Well played, Sakurai, well played.

To be perfectly honest, there is no other locale from Star Fox I'd rather be fighting at/on than the Great Fox.

You know, it'd be awesome if the FD version of this stage(if there is one) took place on the wing, but angled sort of exactly like the picture. Sort of sideways. Not like Sector Z, not like Venom, but I'm between.

 

[QJD1381]

Star Fox content, but no Fox in the picture? Hey, I'll take it! I love the "streamlined" version of the Great Fox on Assault.

 

[Superyoshiom]

In a world where only the two Star Fox games that are universally remembered as legendary are the original and 64, beggars can't be choosers. I still like the looks of this stage, even if we had the Great Fox before. Come to think of it, have any of those stages even been called Great Fox?

 

[PLATINUM7]

I can't wait to see a Final Destination variant of the Great Fox. The ship would look so weird

 

[The Drilling Juggernaut]

I can't wait to see a Final Destination variant of the Great Fox. The ship would look so weird

It'll probably be just the Lylat Cruise ship edited.

 

[PLATINUM7]

It'll probably be just the Lylat Cruise ship edited.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I want to see the Great Fox converted into some weird flat-stage space ship abomination.

 

[MasterofMonster]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I want to see the Great Fox converted into some weird flat-stage space ship abomination.

The Great Fox will simply have the normal Final Destination balancing on it's roof, silly~

 

[IsmaR]

The Great Fox will just fly over Final Destination and drop the fighters off there before being engulfed into the sun.

'Cuz y'know, Fox.

 

[EndlessSmash]

Oh sweet, a retro stage from SSB64!

 

[Robotic Wind]

I hope this is the background and the level itself will be from Assault.

Maybe the Sargasso Hideout, space zone or Aparoid City!

 

[Kapus]

If this is the actual stage, I'm wondering if it's mirrored in comparison to its Melee and 64 counterparts. It faced to the left originally, but the perspective the screenshot is taken from shows it facing the right. Hm.

Also wondering if it's going to be just Corneria 2.0 (which I wouldn't mind too much, honestly) or if they will add anything else interesting to the stage to shake things up. One thing I notice is that the head of the ship points out so far that the guns don't look like they will be reliably reachable. Looks like some characters could reach it, but maybe not make it back to the main ship.

 

[D-idara]

But why not KRAZOOOOA PALACE though?

 

[TitanTeaTime]

Star Fox PotD? That's nice.
But where's Fox himself? He still hasn't been in a PotD since like... April I think? Maybe before that?

 

[Hayzie]

Why did they have to make the same set of stars noticeable throughout the stage? This repeated seamless texture is unacceptable. THIS NEEDS FIXING.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

If I look closely enough I can see a constellation used twice

But it's not that noticeable to me

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Why did they have to make the same set of stars noticeable throughout the stage? This repeated seamless texture is unacceptable. THIS NEEDS FIXING.

It's not that unheard of to see texture parts get reused though.

 

[Fatmanonice]

A spiritual successor to my favorite stage in the original Smash Bros? Yes, yes, and yes. This was so long overdue. Now I hope Sakurai actually shares some details about it instead of going dead silent like he has for most of the Wii U stages.

 

[praline]

The ship looks gorgeous. I'm happy we finally got a Star Fox stage.

 

[Kenith]

The Great Fox will just fly over Final Destination and drop the fighters off there before being engulfed into the sun.

'Cuz y'know, Fox.

I did not realize the ship's name was actual the Great Fox Only.

 

[KokiriKory]

It's about time!

A part of me was a little disappointed it's the Great Fox, again, but then what else could it possibly be? Just bring on that Star Fox Assault soundtrack baby

 

[Renji64]

I want some details about this stage it looks amazing kinda reminds me of the original starfox n64 stage.

 

[spader13]

I thought if we got a stage any time soon, it would be a 3DS one. Sakurai continues to surprise us, but at least we got a little Star Fox love. I'd guess later this week or early next week we'll see some fighters on the stage.

 

[flyinfilipino]

Actually, as I look at this picture, I notice something. Is the lower area behind the fin gone? It seems really shrunk down if not totally removed though it's hard to tell from this camera angle. That could be a really big deal.

The Star Fox: Assault Great Fox doesn't have an area to stand on behind the fin (if this stage is an exact replica).

EDIT: Upon closer examination, it kind of does, but it's a lot lower than previous stage versions, and looks like it'd be really awkward to get to and from by certain characters.

Also, *secretly prays for Krystal*. #istillbelieve

 

[Fatmanonice]

So...do you think this stage affects Krystal's chances?

No. It was very likely to be an Assault stage either way because 1. Namco developed Assault and 2. it was the last console Star Fox game. With this being confirmed though, it practically confirms that the 3DS stage will be Star Fox 64 3D related instead of Command related.

 

[Hayzie]

It's not that unheard of to see texture parts get reused though.

True, but as a texturer and modeler, I disagree for this day & age! Especially in sky textures. They're layered textures, often even just 1 for each specific time of day in huge open-world games. Here is just 1 stage.

What happened to better hardware? After Mario and Luigi's polygon hats, anything goes.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Ooooh at long last foxes stage

That is by far the most prettiest of the series.

 

[Yakko93]

Funny thing, I was looking up Star Fox Stuff the other day, and now this happens.

 

[GalacticPetey]

This stage looks cool. We've pretty much had no Star Fox content. Maybe this is hint of things to come...

Falco pls

 

[Giga Man]

Star Fox Assault costumes for all Star Fox characters, please.

 

[Starphoenix]

Pretty sure the new F-Zero stage will be an HD GX track after this update. Wouldn't even be opposed to redoing Big Blue.

 

[Rich Homie Quan]

This stage is gonna be beautiful to play on tbh

 

[peachy!]

I hope this opens up the possibilities of HD remakes of past stages, like in Mario Kart 8. I'd love to see the Hyrule Temple revamped.
