Official Crowd Thread!

[Drik Khaail]

I hope this time the crowd cheers for people that are actually winning.

lol, when ever I start getting the crap beat out of me, the crowd starts cheering for my character! but yes, they should be more enthused, it was amusing when they cheered blandly 'faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalcooooooo, faaaaaaaaalcooooooo' I hate those guys... but, its probably my imagination, but you can hear the crowd in the first trailer, when pit and metaknight are blasted by samus, cheering, but it may be the canon charging up too...

 

[The Mac04]

I DEMAND a more realistic crowd. Real crowds don't chant. Except for the Jerry Springer Show. "JERRY! JERRY!"

does that mean you would like to have stadium riots in the background should something drastic happen?

Definitely. And then someone should get taken away by security guards.

 

[Speedsk8er]

"Get em in the Darkrain combo!!"
"KNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
"Shine spike him!!"
"WALL.. OF.... PAIN!! WALL ... OF.. PAIN!"
"EXTENDERRRRRRRRRRR!!"
"Chaaaain graaaab.... chaaaaain graab"
"TOO GOOD!!! TOO GOOD!"
"Thunderflip!!"
"No Johns!"


The crowd should say all of that and then some.

 

[The Mac04]

That would own and be annoying at the same time.

 

[Eight Sage]

I was playing Melee... GOD why always they have to cheer for the winning one?

On top of that... He (my bro) was taunting me... Grrr

This time they have to shout in different ways, for the winner and for the looser!

 

[mada0207]

Yes, the crowd should come back.

No, the crowd should not shout advice or encouragement. It'd be too distracting, not to mention wierd. If you go to a game in real life, and the crowd starts chanting in unison, you'll most likely hear something like "Yankees! Yankees!". If 50,000 people just started screaming "throw the ball to second he's trying to steal!" in perfect harmony, that's when I'd be getting the hell out of there.

You know what they should do with the crowd? Let you see them. Like, if you grab an item or do a really huge combo or cause tons of damage at once, the crowd will stand up and cheer. You'd see sillouhettes of people waving their arms and jumping around, and it could work like a sort of hazard, blocking out the lowest part of the stage for a short time.

yes ur right the crow should come i agreed but what u just said i actually changed my mind and went with that

 

[Aeramis]

My one wish for the crowd is that when I fake someone out it would say, "Mindgames, Son Mindgames!" and when I finish them it would be like, "You got owned!". Lol, fun times...

 

[LinkTer]

I think the crowd is a nessecary part of smash and should defintley make a return but more human like and realistic

W00t for topic summary post!

OT: I like the idea of just one person shouting stuff sometimes.

 

[DH_Ninja]

i don't like that idea, it would get so annoying. I remeber one time i was at a wwe thing, this guy behind us would not shut up. my dad was just about ready to kill him. eventually he did shut up.

 

[DainBramaged]

I think that this is the best smash crowd I've ever se......heard

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

[SonicMario]

I think for realism the Crowd should cheer for a character that did some awesome pwns until that character is pwoned him or herself and/or when they fall.

 

[Speedsk8er]

Holy hell yes! XD *adds that to the list*

 

[GaryCXJk]

And when you're teabagging n00bs... wait, wrong game...

 

[Pyroloserkid]

I think this thread is irrelevant. The crowd is definately still in.
But either way, someone could argue that it's in or not.

Personally, I love hearing the crowd chant my characters name.
The crowd must stay!

 

[bored]

lol watch it be the announcer guy from pokemon battle revolution who will be replacing the crowd xD

 

[greenblob]

The crowd should be primarily a combo indicator. Once you get 3 consecutive attacks in, the crowd starts cheering, and after each additional attack they cheer a bit more. If it ends in a KO, the crowd either chants your name or gives a big final cheer, depending on how many attacks there were. Of course, these attacks would have to combo, as in it would be impossible/almost impossible to escape the next hit. For example, if the one being combo'd either hits the ground/wall/ceiling (and therefore teched or could've teched) or comes out of hitstun (and therefore could've jumped, airdodged, or attacked), the "crowd combo counter" would restart.

 

[DainBramaged]

May Sakurai have mercy on our souls.....I can see it now
*over estatic voice*
" Wow!!! what a hit"
"It did serious damage"
"That was SUPER effective"
"Ohhh, and he's down"
"The player is asleep"

....>_<plz no....

*ps, I am assuming PBR is the same announcer as Pokemon Stadium 2........because that's who I'm quoting.....I don't have a clue about Pokemon anymore.......>_<

Edit~ seriously, watch this vid.....favorite Smash crowd ever! (watch until Chu taunts.....you'l lol)

[bored]

LOL It would mess up the game big time...

 

[Azukki]

There should be a crowd supporting each character.

They would support their character when they're getting hopelessly killed, and cheer them on when they're winning. Especially when they taunt after they get a KO.

And "Boo" when the other characters taunt after killing their character.




The undecided, flip-flopping crowd of Melee didn't seem too realistic. Fans are usually pretty baised.

ha ha

"the player is asleep" when someone falls sleep they should say this ha ha

 

[OnyxVulpine]

I support the crowd being the in the game but would only want the..
Cheering at times
Shocked "oh!"
Nothing too drastic like a whole sentence. It would be distracting and irritating. Especially during party games where they start chanting a name.. and the other 3 players are like "STFU!"

 

[Eight Sage]

When the crowd shout, there should be "shadows" of them!

And these shadows could be characters, like, for Mario, when the crowd shouts, appears Peach's, Luigi's, etc's. Shadows!

 

[Mestro]

yup great idea! and when the fight gets boring! you could see shadows of the people standing and going out of the screen!

 

[bksands77]

If there is no crowd in the game, the i won't buy it

i respect you on an unbelievably high level

i thought i heard the crowd cheering in the first trailer when pit and meta knight are fighting each other in mid-air

 

[Keige]

If there is no crowd in the game, the i won't buy it

I'd agree with you, but I love Smash too much. But I do consider the crowd an integral part of Smash. It gives it some extra personality.

 

[Reno>]

Whoever is the crowd that is around darkrain is the crowd for Brawl.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

I want the SSB64 crowd back.

 

[iankobe]

Without the crowd, there's no Smash.

 

[falco freak]

we need the crowd. i mean its like a signature of ssb.

 

[Eight Sage]

we need the crowd. i mean its like a signature of ssb.

This happened in Pokemon Colosseum... remember? in Stadium there was an announcer... in Colosseum didn't and it sucked.

Hopes this doesn't happens to Brawl... the Crowd is fundamental, and it should be 10x better and deeper than Melee, having like different modes of crowds for example.

 

[falco freak]

oh man i forgaot about the announcer in pokemon. yea it got less entertaining w/out him (plus i dint own colouseum but i played it at a friends). but thats a good idea ^^^

 

[FreakyVoiceDude]

A crowd mode could build on this Gladiator-spoof theme the story mode seems to have. Don't even have ledges, have a contained stage where the whole point is to just keep fighting until the crowd is completely set on the better fighter. Whether he's the champ who never takes a hit or the highly damaged underdog who starts pulling out the tricks and strategy, might just come down to who comes out on top.

If you really want to keep the theme going, have the crowd decide the loser's fate at the end. Back to a trophy, or honored as a skilled fighter nonetheless. Complete with Roman Emperor style hand gestures from the Master Hand itself. Just for reference, the emperor would turn to the crowd and let them decide the fate, not usually getting involved himself unless he felt like it. A thumbs-up, was a thumbs-up. Thumb to the side meant to finish him, nowadays we use the thumbs down because it fits better with modern gesturing.

As for a lone guy yelling...It can be quite powerful in real events, been boxing for years and some of the best quotes I've ever heard came from some guy lost in the crowd. But in a game, it's just a pre-recorded reflex that would sound out of place. That and in this country there's always some idiot yelling 'Git 'er done!'.
...That being said, if some one yelled 'Freebird!' after DK's final smash I would want to shake the hand of that programmer.

 

[komickid]

That gladiator idea would be an awesome mode heh maybe if you worked on a team the crowd would get angry and summon some big old boss or another!

 

[2007]

I love the lone people in real-life crowds.
Anywways, I think people should also 'boo' people, like the ones who get the "opportunist" , "Master of Disaster", or "coward" awards.

 

[ksadkiller]

i like the idea of the crowd silhouettes appearing if u do well.

what about when someone gets hit with a really high damaging move. the crowd goes like "oooohhhh" or "ddaaaammmnnnn!"

 

[mukoe890]

smash needs the crowd as much as the crowd needs smash

 

[Snakz]

I love the lone, obnoxious guy cheer idea, i love those guys in real life too for games and sports, smash is practically both, so hell yea to that

I love the thought of a random fratboy yell goin something like "YEA FOX! WHOOOOAA!!"

or "DO IT, DIDDY, YOU DI THAT LEDGE, WHOOO!!"....ok maybe not THAT specific
