Storyboard for Smash4 CGI Intro?

[D-idara]

I'd like to hear how you people think the Intro should go :D
I'll post my own storyboard later but right now i just think this would be a cool subject to discuss, I mean, Brawl's was a bunch of clips thrown together, but there was some serious cinematic genius involved in Melee's opening, with each moment building on top of one another and transitioning seamlessly, from the spine-chilling moment, to the surreal, goosebumps-inducing moment (When Zelda/Sheik looks up with the chorus singing and Kirby appears on the star, OH GOD!). So yeah, I think it'd be cool to hear some thoughts, and after I finish drawing it, I'll post a little storyboard of how I think it should go.

You know they say the story cinematic's were leaked but I was never able to find them which makes me doubt the whole thing, and that sakurai just wanted them gone to focus on other things.

There's nothing wrong with cutscenes, but that's another thing. I'm talking about the Intro video of the game.

I could see it starting similarly to the original E3 reveal trailer with a small clip representing each series. They used new cutscene-style clips for each character, so we might see these plus more for Yoshi, Fire Emblem, Wario, etc. I would love to see more cinematic stuff later on, the Sheik/Zelda, Kirby, and Fox bit was a favorite from the Melee intro for me as well.

Not gonna lie, It's probably just gonna be lazy like Brawl's intro and just play portions of all the CGI trailers we have gotten and then have the main theme play.

Don't forget the gameplay too.

Ya know what'd be sick?
Referencing the original trailer. Each character gets their own Smash invitation somehow and then they all run in and join on some sort of battlefield.
Villager got his invitation in the mail, Mario could get one out of a ? block, Link could pull one out of a chest, Pikachu could encounter a "wild" invitation, Ice Climbers could find it at the top of a mountain, DK could find one inside a peeled banana......
....you get the gist of it.

Nice idea but not all of the character in the game can be shown. Take a long to do it. Doesn't matter nice idea though.

Perhaps that same idea, but only the newcomers get the invitation, and they all go to the battlefield where the veterans are waiting for them.

Y'know, to save time.

I have a feeling it will be similar to melee's. With a mix of random scenes and gameplay.

I can see them taking advantage of the WiiU's power and doing the intro in all cut scenes!
