So many more too:

Your Song
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Tiny Dancer
Don't Go Breaking My Heart
Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me

Not to mention the entire Lion King soundtrack.

There's a reason he's consistently been known as one of the greatest musical artists ever.

Yeah, I didn't want to make the list too long. Also confession time, I tend to mix up "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" with the nearly identical titled Nik Kershaw song "I Won't Let The Sun Go Down On Me", at least when it comes to the name, that is.

 

[NurpNurp]

What dose that even mean?

Snake was revealed and included in Smash before Sonic, who would have been the most obvious pick back in 2008.

Basically i was trying to never lose hope, but kinda flubbed it

Am I being a dolt, or did they just not cover Terry's down special in the presentation?

It's Power Dunk. Shoryuken motion. A rising knee lift, to a downward punch

 

[Shadowwolflink]

Also, can I just point out that I hate when people say "I only listen to video game OSTs"? The vast majotity of music from video games wouldn't exist without other genres of music.

Like the Mario theme? It's based on an older song

Like Grunty's theme? It's based on a pop song from the 70s

Like Earthbound's soundtrack? It's almost entirely musical references.

I don't know how on earth I missed that until I watched it for the third time.

I also find it funny how Sakurai talked about guys like Sonic, Terry and Kirby being oldheads, then mentioned Mega Man and Ryu being a few years older than that.

 

[MainJPW]

The "COME ON!" club.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Spoiler

Since Terry and Falcon have Japanese actors speaking English (Takashi Kondo and Ryō Horikawa) it would've been more appropriate for Sonic to have his Jun'ichi Kanemaru English on display:

Buster Wolf, Why do you refuse to come out

 

[NurpNurp]

To be fair, it wasn't covered nearly as in depth as the other four, probably because it's the most straightforward

 

[TheCJBrine]

How so? If it’s the too violent thing I’m sure they can tone him down. Bayonetta is very not family friendly and she’s in.

I think the same. I don’t get it. Apparently it’s because games like DOOM are rated Adult but I really don’t see why rating boards and families would care as long as Smash has Doomguy toned down and not as violent. Ridley impales people, Joker’s gun may as well be a real one, and Bayonetta rapid fires with her feet and summons a frickin gigantic demon while still being a bit sexualized. There’s also that one Metal Gear Solid spirit that references something families would not enjoy, nor the rating boards if they actually cared about the mere presence of something.

 

[Knight Dude]

Sounds like me panicking trying to do a Shinku Hadoken in most Street Fighter games.

Although I guess now it'll be getting accidental Burn Knuckles instead.

 

[Deleted member]

Not just as there EDs (of which they used Roundabout, Walk Like an Egyptian, Last Train Home, I Want You, Freek'n You, and Modern Crusaders) but also as the Stand names

Let me tell you, it is WILD to see two characters fight to the death using psychic ghosts named after Pink Floyd's "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" and Queen's "Killer Queen"

Oh yeah, the stand names are common knowledge, it even extends to some characters like Speedwagon and Dio. Though if I'm not mistaken, didn't they have to be changed in the fighting game due to copyright? Like Limp Bizkit becoming Flaccid Pancake? That one always stuck out to me for sounding just hilarious.

No Terry, Samus is NOT OKAY.

LIKE, THIS IS SO DISRESPECTEFUL.

 

[NurpNurp]

I think the same. I don’t get it.

All things considered, it's not like the gore of Doom is as intrinsically tied into Doomguy as the sex appeal is to Mai or the gore is to someone like Scorpion or Sub-Zero.

I think he could have a shot at least, but I'm not personally holding my breath for another Western IP Fighter. I'd like one, but he strikes me as sadly unlikely

Flaccid Pancake is good, but absolutely nothing beats Dirty Deeds Done Cheap's localisations name

Filthy Acts, At A Reasonable Price

 

[Lighteni]

Just came back and watched the direct.

Seeing Sakurai just spend 45 minutes on a SNK history lesson was very satisfying. God knows after the drought before KOF XIV, they need it. Terry looks and animates great, haven’t managed to download him yet. All those cameos and references to other SNK series, even stuff like Athena made me happy.

Also Smash has Rock Howard in it now. That’s the biggest takeaway I had from the entire presentation.

 

[SneakyLink]

What madness have I missed this past hour?

 

[Raxxel]

Dunno if anyone has mentioned yet, but Stormy Saxophone is Arashi no Saxophone. Just so you know.

Speaking of Terry's inputs, maybe I missed it, but does Power Wave really have none?

Did they really go with that meme name? Oh god, that's awesome.

 

[Opossum]

BRO! There's a lot to talk about now that I saw it. Terry really looks like he'll be one of my favorites like Mega Man, Ridley, Samus/Dark Samus and Ryu/Ken.

1. I was NOT expecting him to give Terry a Back Special for Crack Shoot. That's a first, but I wonder how it'll work in 4 player. Either way, I could just use the Hurricane Kick motion in stead.
2. His Arcade Mode is really cool. I was expecting team Capcom, but Mega Man, Sonic and Pac-Man as the Hero Team is pretty sick. Not to mention the Ryu/Ken/Terry Team as a final boss.
3. His Final Smash is awesome!
4. Him having Desperation moves was something we should have considered over Max Mode, but I'm glad OG Buster Wolf makes it in.
5. A bit of profound sadness over the lack of Garou Terry, but other wise, his alts are pretty good.
6. RIP Mai, The kids aren't ready for that yet.
7. 50 ****ING MUSIC TRACKS! And you thought Street Fighter, Mega Man and Castlevania got a lot! Well, that's for an entire company, so I guess that's why.
8. BIG SHOT!, Arashi no Saxophone and Soy Sauce for Geese are in, so I'm happy. Arashi no Saxophone even gets a remix.
9. Mega Man X, Mega Man .EXE(but not really, just let me dream) and Heihachi live another day.
10. Some neat Additions added to the online mode.
11. Sakurai being a huge Iori Fanboy is really funny to me. Somehow the guy who made Kirby also likes Edgy Rival dudes.
12. Kirby get's the gloves too!

Either way, Whining Fools Begone. Because Wubba Wubba We're ALL in the pink today BOOOOOOYZ! WE ARE ALL OKAY!

Oh Sakurai is totally a fan of the edgier characters, lol. His favorite Fire Emblem character is Navarre, the guy who started Fire Emblem's edgy myrmidon archetype.


Anywho, my god Terry is fun. Power Dunk is so satisfying. Probably already my favorite DLC character to play.

 

[Cosmic77]

Anyone else think it's funny how Mai Shiranui couldn't get in Smash as a background character, but a smexy witch who literally strips to attack gets in as a full-fledged playable character.

 

[Noipoi]

Alright, alright, ya got me. I thought it over and I won’t delete my account.

Jeez...

Nope, Power Wave is the only special he has which doesn't have a traditional FG input
Probably because both the QC motions were taken and a charge back-forward would feel awkward in everything except 1v1s

How so? If it’s the too violent thing I’m sure they can tone him down. Bayonetta is very not family friendly and she’s in.

To be fair, Bayo was toned down too(She loses less clothing when doing wicked weaves), but I guess they couldn't think of a way to apply that to Mai for whatever reason. I can see Doomguy/Scorp/SubZ potentially being too violent, but I would like to think removing the blood would be enough to absolve this issue.

Hell, an enemy from Mother 3 uses the Adam West's Batman theme.

Not sure how some games get away with blatant covers, but Kenji Yamamoto(not the Metroid Kenji Y.) got in trouble for Dragon Ball. Though I guess in his case, it was the DBZKai ost that got him in trouble and not the DBZ games. Like Earthbound had a lot of covers as well.

 

[Deleted member]

One of the more shocking things is still having a character with a ****ing BACK Special. That'll be weirder for me than doing a Hurricane Kick/Crack Shoot motion any day.

Hero has like 20 special moves so is this really that special?

I lost the bet and I failed to stick to my guns and delete a simple forum account.

If you wanna stick to the original bet as we all intended it to be, change your avatar for two weeks. If that's not severe enough, hold back a week before purchading Gen 8

Nah, I’d find a way to mess that up too.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

The best thing about Terry is all his moves arent connected to complex inputs and can use most of them normaly

 

[nessdeltarune00]

I really hope there is never a Smash 6

Because this game will never be topped and it would be depressing watching the entire roster get Thanos snapped

True, though it does kinda trip you up a bit, Ah well, time to git gud.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Dude. You seam to be forgetting the part where no one wanted you to delete your account if you lost the bet. Where did that even come from?

Also, I know that feeling. It is so hard to get past it. I don't always and it leads me to say and think some pretty dark things. But it is possible to get past it.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

So given Sakurai's statement for why Mai couldn't be a cameo. Could the same apply to the possibility of violence in Smash?

If so this might hinder Doom Slayer's and Scorpion's chances. What are you thoughts on this or would this be different?

Mai would’ve been fine if Sakurai gave her shorts. CERO also caused him to tone down Joker, Bayonetta, etc. and I doubt they’ll take some moral stance against DOOM in Smash and would just require Sakurai to remove the blood and viscera.

Like, if they actually cared about the mere presence of things referencing gross stuff that could make some extreme individuals mad, one of Metal Gear’s spirits wouldn’t be here, nor even Ridley.
