The Dojo Under the Microscope

[Zoomzoomkid111]

This is just a theory but, I'm going to assume that Snake receives the information about his opponent(s) when playing on the 'Shadow Moses Island' stage before the start of a match. It is simple to assume this as I don't think they would interrupt the middle of a brawl like that (unless of course these clips are activated in certain modes and/or whilst the game is paused)... Anywaaaays, so with that being said, then quite possibly Zero-Suit Samus (or Zamus) is playable right from the start of a match. Also why would they make an entirely different character with different moveset and statistics, and then go and advertise that character as is, if she was only playable when and if you got the final smash... It's not hard to imagine that Zamus could have a Final Smash of her own that 'generates' her armor either...

sorry for ranting a little there.... also any theories you may have are encouraged here

 

[Kentalish]

no dude its prolly gunna be like during the match in background like PS... or maybe yr rure

 

[LavisFiend]

During the match, the AUX LED with pop up just like from the MGS games....

You press start at the time (or + if you use the wii gear) to activate it.

It's not impossible.

It's going to be during battle, if I recall correctly, that's what happens in Metal Gear Solid games, right?

Doesn't mean that's how it has to happen in Brawl. Mario doesn't have to get a fire flower to use fireballs and Link doesn't have to collect assorted artifacts to get his sword.

 

[BKBroiler]

I thought that it was confirmed that the characters were going to have there own special 'stories' to devolp them? If so those videos will most likely be apart of Snake's. (i'll look for the link)

 

[FalconPunch_]

It will probably happen in the middle of the battle, since he says "Samus took her armor off" meaning that it would happen after Samus performs the Final Smash and becomes Zero Suit Samus

 

[freeman123]

It'll be during the match. You know how annoying that would get if you had to wait to watch those videos every time you played a match on Shadow Moses with Snake?

It makes more sense for this to happen in story mode. If Snake was fighting Samus and beat her, she might transform into Zamus and the cutscene inititates. Like how you beat fox in adventure mode in melee and Peppy and Slippy talk to you. Just a little more drawn out and humorous.

It's not part of Adventure Mode. If it were, it would be with all of the other Adventure Mode videos. It clearly says that it happens when you use Snake on that stage.

 

[volbound1700]

I have a feeling that the messages will only be in single player

 

[OmegaXXII]

this is probably part of cutscene from subspace emmisary or a 1-p mode that Sakurai hasn't mentioned yet, why else would the codec messege on the Dojo say "Mei Ling Samus took her clothes off" which would happen right in the middle of battle when Samus grabbed a Final Smash and took her armor off to become Zero-Suit

hes got a point

I didn't say it would take place in adventure mode. I'm thinking more like classic 1p. If you were playing through single player, you would eventually have to fight snake. On this stage. And right before the match, he would say something about the character you were using.

I was comparing it to melee's adventure mode, where you fight fox. When you beat him, Peppy and Slippy say something in a small cutscene.

That's sort of what I thought too, it confused me a little..

 

[Red_Maniac]

It'll be like Fox and Falco calling the Star Fox team in Corneria.

ya, exactly, this is only a one player thing... IF IT WAS IN MULTIPLAYER AND YOU HAD 4 GUYS PLAYING... I MEAN C'MON!

 

[Jackal478]

Probably just a part of Adventure mode....DUR

 

[ChronosMagnum]

Or maybe if you paused it on the stage, a message would appear..

 

[Intercept]

Probably a taunt.

 

[dooky]

Whatever it is, it surely can't be designed to appear in the middle of a battle. That would be irritating in the extreme. The comparison with the Starfox 'cutscenes' is probably the most convincing argument I've heard so far. It's also possible they could appear prior to a battle on Snake's stage in 2P mode. This still leaves the question of the precise context that the Zero Suit Samus conversation would take place in: all I can think of is that in Melee's 1P modes, if Zelda transformed into Sheik or vice versa, her status was carried over to the next battle. So even if ZSS isn't selectable, you still might be able to start a stage as her under certain curcumstances.

 

[Zoomzoomkid111]

whatever the situation may be I just hope that Zamus is a playable character other than after her final smash.
