New Music: Go K.K. Rider

[Gargomon251]

Listen to the song while looking at Smashville.

Doesn't it already seem like it's almost too driving for the stage? Doubling the tempo would be... awful.

It's a BATTLE, not a riverdance. I want INTENSITY and SPEED. Like the Fire Emblem theme in Melee

 

[GenG]

Well, since this piece is based from Kamen Rider's heroic style music, or "Japanese superhero shows" from the 70s and 80s, and the track in Japanese is called "Yuke! K.K. Raidaa" which sounds extremely cheesy, the quote could be from this same series, even from Kamen Rider itself. It suits him :D

 

[PKnight]

The song has a nice western feel to it, and K.K. even gets to sing.
Win.

Also, to those who say it's not 'fast enough' or 'epic enough,' the melee levels didn't always possess fast paced / hardcore music.
Yoshi's Island, most of the Mario levels, etc.
It's nice to have a sort of silly song to have a casual smash to.
Though I personally believe this song is fantastic. K.K. Slider is the man. Er, dog.

I just wish K.K. was the candidate for the Brawl battler, though his appearance at 8 pm on Saturdays makes that unlikely...
His guitar would make a fantastic weapon. D:

 

[Xanderous]

I'd appreciate it more if they incorperated the Animal Forest theme. Heck, they could have just gone with an upbeat Animal Forest remix. Though I'm not complaining. I love this song and I love Animal Forest.

Why do you call it by the JP name?

 

[NukeA6]

It's a bit better than I expected from that stage. At least it isn't that put-me-to-sleep type of stuff you hear in the Onett stage.

 

[Blade42]

hey its sounds like its gonna be a cool song to fight to

 

[MzNetta]

I'm excited to hear this song in action.
And Sakurai must enjoy watching us squirm; why else would he put that TOTALLY shady quote at the end?
It can seriously be taken in 12 different and possibly correct ways.

<_>

 

[silver777]

the last sentence has a dark beauty in it.

 

[SuperAce]

I can seriously see like Mach Rider coming in on a motorcycle or something right after that. And you know K.K.'s gonna be in the background with a full band this time around.

 

[hawkts13]

hey I was wondering about that quote actually. Its interesting how it is a western spaghetti theme, but I've recently started watching Naruto and that line is said a lot... would it be possible for characters from anime to appear? I mean, it'd fit since its a fighting character XD

 

[Paranoid_Android]

I like it... Except the ****ing metronome-like symbol-sounding snare drum beat that's been in every one of Sakurai's songs. Someone shoot whoever keeps putting that in there.


"Hmm. This song is good. What can we do to make it better?"
"Put an explicit, repetitive, emotionless symbol beat in the background!"

No anime characters! It isn't Hero's Comeback. Although... to be fair... I thought about the same thing for a while especially with the new Naru games coming out on Wii.

ROFL.

 

[Leobenmc]

I think KK Condor would have been a better choice. But I'm glad at least they picked one of KK's better songs. And they kept the voice (albeit briefly). My fingers are crossed for more songs and more KK Vocals!

Condor could be the alternate theme, like Super Mario Bros. 3 was an alternate for Yoshi's Island in Melee.

 

[silver777]

Agent K.K. is my favorite song, however this one has that fighting spirit in it that it is PERFECT IMO.

 

[IllidR]

It's a good song, perfectly fitting for the stage. It'll be fun to smash to!

 

[lanky_gunner]

what i wonder now is how is K.K. gonna set up. i mean does he just "appear" at 8, or will people start setting up his stage, he walks out, then the cool intro starts, and the music changes

 

[Bassoonist]

I like the music, I think it was one of the best songs they could pick from Animal Crossing to put in as "fighting music". I don't see what everybody has against it... The very start is very weird, but that's okay, Animal Crossing is a bit weird you have to admit.

 

[Y34HDUD3!!!]

K.K. will be sure to arrive late to the concert then. He'll make us wait like idiots. *Sakurai laughs in the background* **** you Sakurai and your late updates!!!

 

[Dokuro]

cool, Go K.K Rider is one of my favorite K.K Slider songs.

 

[Super Smash Master]

It's beyond silly to immediately discount the chances of any character at this point, especially after Pokemon Trainer.

It's entirely possible, and will of course be amazing no matter what.

A dog with a guitar can't be a fighter.

 

[Gargomon251]

Also, to those who say it's not 'fast enough' or 'epic enough,' the melee levels didn't always possess fast paced / hardcore music.
Yoshi's Island, most of the Mario levels, etc.

and that was precisely the problem. Mario Tetris 3 is WAYYYY better than the song they used in Melee. And I can't stand the default pokemon stadium music.

Also I really really really hope you can use your own songs via SD card. After all, it worked in Photo Channel

 

[Exorcist]

A dog with a guitar can't be a fighter.

Well that could have been said for Mr. Game and Watch and Captain Falcon in a way.

But really though, I think Resetti would be a more fit fighter. I think he has the greatest chance out of all the AC possibilities to be in only because he could actually fight and have a moveset that makes sense.

 

[Bassoonist]

I don't know about Resseti, I would think that the Animal Crossing humans have a higher chance of being playable, they where requested on the poll, plus a moveset could be made for them would make sense as well.

 

[PKnight]

If El Kabong has taught us anything, it's that guitar wielding animals are effective anti-crime tools.
El Kabong was a western sheriff.
"Heroes always arrive late" is a spaghetti western theme.
Therefore, K.K. is basically confirmed. :O

Kidding of course, but I can hope, right? :D

 

[BoG]

K.K., Resetti, and Tom Nook are all great candidates for the game, much more so then the humans in my opinion. I'd love to see K.K. and Nook most, though. Also, I can imagine Cap'n being possible.
Honestly, I think an AC character is almost a given at this point, and it makes me HAPPY.

 

[cccck]

I almost hope there is no AC rep just to be evil... no that is to evil... plus the more people the better, right? (as long as they are not cheap or really stupid) But I fear they my have all this stuff BECAUSE there is no rep

 

[Fastinyoh]

I've never played Animal Crossing, but this is the best music update so far.

 

[2007]

I've never played Animal Crossing, but this is the best music update so far.

 

[Caleb Wolfbrand]

This could be my favorite music update, this or the Kid Icarus one. I love all the music so far... This game is gonna be so fun...

 

[Seashield]

Best music update yet.

 

[M.K]

Hey, I noticed something.

The Animal Crossing Musician, Totaka, did NOT head up this arrangment...I wonder why???

 

[kin3tic-c4jun-3]

Best song yet. Ownage.

 

[Gargomon251]

I almost hope there is no AC rep just to be evil... no that is to evil... plus the more people the better, right? (as long as they are not cheap or really stupid)

And of course having an AC rep is so totally reasonable.

 

[OlimarPWNS200]

Yea thts true. a stage.item. AC has a rep! no doubt about it

 

[OlimarPWNS200]

Best song so far

 

[Gargomon251]

OK whatever. Maybe they'll confirm Jelectro next.

 

[Goopygoo]

Why would an AC character be stupid? I'm rooting for Tom Nook myself.

 

[OlimarPWNS200]

yep if its anyone rep.AC is has to be Tom Nook
