For the AT, maybe they thought any new one would be similar to Little Mac. idk
I remember this being a thing too. It's why we have so gosh darn many Mega Man remixes. lol
I don't know but it really does kind of irks me. I would have loved to see more tracks from the Wii game and maybe some tracks from SNES game.
Bring back the Little Mac assist trophy
Double checked and yep, he even mentions that it did end up with some overlap due to the composers being able to pick.
Definitely a double-edged sword case as you get a lot of tracks with a lot of passion to them since they're free to pick what they want, but it does leave certain series with a bulk of remixes and others with little. It's also probably why we have infamous cases like the multitude Jungle Japes remixes.
It's a smaller series. If it had an AT and a little more music, it'd be perfect.
IIRC they have a music guy who picks which tracks would be best to pull for the game. Given Sakurai's comments on The Roost in SSB4, I imagine the track selection is mainly influenced by "does the tone fit?", which can cause some oddities like Dark Samus not having her theme.
"Now, before we conclude this video series, I'd like to announce the name of my new project!
It's unfortunate, but it kinda makes sense that none of the composers were interested in Punch Out. The series isn't very popular in Japan, and if I'm not mistaken all of the base game remixes were done by Japanese people. We ended up getting Grant Kirkhope and Toby Fox in the DLC, but they only did one song each (and for their own series). If the next game has more Western composers, I think the odds of more Punch-Out music go way up
I don't think it's impossible to make one that doesn't feel like a clone of Mac's. King Hippo for example could roam around the stage slowly and automatically block most attacks like he does in Punch-Out itself, except when he opens his mouth while readying an attack, in which hitting him in the head will stun him and then you can hit him 8 times in his belly to KO him.
It's good that you brought this up because if any game Sakurai should direct that isn't Smash, it honestly should be the next Star Fox.
Potentially yes, but there are cases where even tracks that would fit what they're looking for seem to be absent, or whole games are skipped over entirely. Sticking to Metroid for a minute, the Prime subseries has a good variety of tracks, but offhand it only has three from the original (one remix), one from Prime 2, one from Hunter's, one from FF, and none from Prime 3. For a subseries as important as Prime (and even has a stage) it's a little odd how few tracks have made it over to Smash and it does ask the question if there's more to the situation.
It's time.
I am now obligated to mention Retromesh's Super Smash Bros. DS concept series. It's super cool.
This recent post does say he's still actively working on a finale video, though it's not specific so who knows how that works.
It has not many exploitable characters.
It could be editing or supervision, tbh yeah it’s hard to say how this works.
I'd gladly take someone like Mr. Sandman or Aran Ryan as a second rep, if not a boss for the former. Heck, just throw Glass Joe over Mac's Brawl AT if you don't have time for anything else.
That’s implying he will be a strong bruiser that’s constantly attacking fighters. He’s brave, but not reckless.
Glass Joe dies in one hit but there's a 1% chance he blocks your attack and counters with a lethal OHKO punch.
French Sandbag, what an idea!
I think that comment about Dark Samus's theme only applies to the Prime 2 version, not the Prime 3 version which is far more fast paced and a better fit for a fighting game like this.
The idea came from his KO cutscene.
It's been one of my greatest points of frustration for a decade now, but I think there are a few things that sufficiently explain it. Although the lack of an Assist Trophy is straight up indefensible at this point, I really do not understand it. Anything else... even if I disagree, I can think of a reason for.
Come on, that's definitely not true. All the enemy boxers are so dynamic and fun, I feel like in another world there's a version of Boxing Ring that just has them all hanging out and jeering you from the sidelines. But at bare minimum, there's certainly enough material to make one or two Assist Trophies out of. Glass Joe, King Hippo, Bald Bull, Great Tiger... Aran Ryan??
Well it's only received one (full) game since the SNES, which itself is now verging into retro, which was successful but not crazily so, and is probably the series on the roster with the least amount of popularity in Japan. Plus there's been little demand for anything more from it.
At that point, make the Eggplant itself a new throwable item too.
Pfft. That's not in Captain N.
As far as potential rhythm fighters, I admit my real preference is for Amigo, if just because there's so much character to him and his design just makes him feel like a figure that would fit easily in Smash:
So, I'm not the only one with a surprisingly varied list of potential musical/rhythm-based characters that could work for Smash Bros.. I'm especially happy to see folks that would like Barbara and Amigo!
I mean... just about every first-party character I'd like in Smash falls under this question, but if I had to be particular?
Ngl, pretty amazed to see Raymond Bryce (from Disaster: Day of Crisis) and Welt and Idea (from Soma Bringer) on this. Conversely, I really thought I'd see Reiji and Xiaomu from Namco's 'X' games on this, given Xenosaga and Baiten Kaitos' presence.Monolith has a 25th anniversary site up
Not much new info but there are some wallpapers
If you want to stretch it could also be a decent indicator of what characters could be considered for smash? or some **** like that IDK
As many others have said, while I've already been perfectly fine with the idea of Oatchi being a playable character, getting a visual of how the guy would work in Smash DEFINITELY helped sell me all the more on such an idea!
Yeah, pretty much. While I do hope Alph gets a stronger presence in Smash going forward (if he's not going to be separated from Olimar, at least let him appear in more promo material), I can definitely see Oatchi debuting as a playable character before him.

's idea of having Olimar, Louie, Alph, and Pom/Lisa share a character slot (a'la the Heroes of Dragon Quest) would be a nice compromise.Honestly, if Pom/Lisa DOESN'T end up being in a Hero-styled situation with Olimar, Alph, and Louie, sharing a character slot with them? Her being a 'mounted' fighter on Oatchi would be her next best bet in my eyes,I haven't played Pikmin 4 beyond the first hour-ish of the demo, but there the avatar can also ride on Oatchi, who carries all the Pikmin for you. If we absolutely need the P4 player character, I think we could just have them ride on Oatchi's back and it wouldn't get in the way of Oatchi's moveset
After all, Munchie rides around in
I'm starting to wonder if THIS is why Pilotwings 64 hasn't had any of its music used in Smash so far, remixed or otherwise. I mean, the game's music WAS composed by someone who lives in Texas after all...
Yeah, it was especially bad how they cut the DK Rap so short. Longer song loops would be great. We did get the entire One-Winged Angel, which is like 7 minutes long so maybe they figured something out during the DLC.
That may be because they don't have to worry about cramming everything into a cartridge with limited memory space when it comes to DLC.
I'm surprised Bald Bull or King Hippo never made it as Assist Trophies. Heck, Glass Joe could work as a Goldeen-like dud summon.
It won't stop them because we have precedent of them doing this exact same thing and no, I don't mean DKC Jungle Level theme.
