Will either Snake's Codec OR Palutena's Guidance come back in SSBU

[Oddball]

I am curious on what he’d say about Dark Pit

"Don't remember Kid Icarus having a player 2 option."

I see you watch Blocked Content

Never heard of them before.

"Don't remember Kid Icarus having a player 2 option."

The Luigi of the Kid Icarus series confirmed

 

[TheTrueBrawler]

I know it's been explicitly expressed in the polls and comments, but I want both of them to come back. These little Easter eggs were nice to see in action. If they're both coming back, I would also want them to cross reference each other somehow. I'm curious on what the codec for Palutena will be. For the same reason, I am curious on what the guidance for Snake will be.

 

[Dreamking]

I'd like to see both return especially Palutena's Guidances because the DLC characters shared a generic no information available dialogue.

I've never played Metal Gear. I heard that the Colonel's VA passed away and I also heard something about Otacon's. Couldn't they reuse the dialogue from Brawl and then for the new dialogue for the SSB4 and Ultimate characters, have Snake converse with others?

 

[Hydra of Chaos]

Never heard of them before.

Its a channel that does fanmade Snake Codecs and lately they also did one where Cranky talked about the Ice Climbers

I'd be down for either one of them making a return. If I had to choose between them though it's gotta be Snake's Codecs. However, I'm open to something completely new. I like the idea of Cranky Kong commenting on the other fighters, or maybe something Star Fox related with the Star Fox team talking about the fighters. I'm sure there's plenty of other ideas to explore outside of what's been done before.

The Star Fox thing was already done more or less: https://www.ssbwiki.com/Star_Fox_Smash_Taunt
not exactly, but there was something similiar

 

[Luigifan18]

I'd love to see both Snake's Codecs and Palutena's Guidance return, though it would be a lot of work, as many conversations couldn't be reused verbatim for various reasons (Bowser's gotten a lot faster, Chrom is now playable, the game isn't called "Brawl", etc.).

 

[FieryRebirth]

Snake's Codecs would probably be a bother to get the voice talent back for, especially in this day and age. Sure, I can see them recycling the Brawl ones, but for the new fighters...Hm. I'm confident we'll at least get ol' Campbell's VA back as he is still going strong.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Throw them both out, give us Cranky's Criticisms instead!

Joking, keep both, but add Cranky's Criticisms as well. Because the world and my soul demands it.

Was he fully voice acted in his own games?

No. No, he was not.

I do like the "Squid Sisters commentary" idea, but since the Squid Sisters are an Assist Trophy, it would get awkward if they got summoned in the middle of an announcement; therefore, I think Off The Hook would be a more suitable Greek chorus.

As much as I love Off the Hook, it makes more sense to give this job to characters with comprehensible voice acting.

 

[hposter]

the warioware characters had full voice acting in the latest installment, but i don't see a codec/guidance thing happening with them since warioware gold only came out so recently
depends if warioware gold was being thought up while ssbu's project plan was being settled, though

 

[BandanaDeemon]

Add Egad on Luigi’s mansion with the gameboy

 

[Magical Tuesday]

That's still a lot of voice-over for characters that aren't already covered, assuming they recycle whatever they can. But I could see them going that extra mile. They made a big deal about spending a whole year on Orbital Gate Assault, so it's really weird that it's not in Ultimate. I bet they're going to put in pilot conversations for Star Wolf or something and put it in as DLC.

Both are obviously gonna come back.

Sakurai loves his special little ship (x)

Palutena is basically Pit's mom.

 

[hposter]

Palutena is basically Pit's mom.

yeah, no offense but i always found people who ship pit and palutena together a bit weird, i dunno
i always thought the dynamic between pit and palutena pretty clear in the kid icarus games, even if palutena teases and makes fun of pit on several occasions
headcanons and ships are fine to have, i won't judge though

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Palutena is basically Pit's mom.

Or you know...best friends (and the only friend Palutena will ever have again)

No ship is weird unless you bring an animal into the mix

Incest

 

[Majalbatross]

My money's on the Smash Team simply recycling the Snake Codecs from Brawl for all of the Brawl veterans while also making new ones for the characters that didn't already have them. It would still require resources, but it would take them a lot less time regardless.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Incest

That only works if you’re family...and they’re not family (don’t be a nasty specimen)

I think he meant that Incest would be weird too, not only animals

 

[TMNTSSB4]

In that case...atleast it can’t get worst than a mix of both

Yeah, but some of the Brawl veterans' Codecs can't be recycled. A couple of them refer to Brawl directly, Bowser's calls him slow, Link's mentions his Clawshot, and the codecs for Sheik and Zero Suit Samus refer to them transforming.

Not only that, but some character also have drastic or some sort of design change(s) to them

 

[FirestormNeos]

Redoing the voice work for Snake's Codecs and/or Palutena's Guidance could work, and I do like the idea of Cranky Kong giving hilariously bad info on the characters. However, failing those options...

Maybe BOTW Zelda could give Link pointers on the various fighters?
A Fire Emblem Talk Show hosted by Anna where she interviews the roster?
Admiral Dane (AND NO ONE ELSE) debriefing Samus on who she's fighting?
Sonic's friends riffing on the other smashers?

 

[GolisoPower]

Well, this is a bad sign so far.

In a panel at FanExpo Boston 2018, David Hayter said that Nintendo hasn’t approached him to record more codecs for Smash Ultimate yet, but he said he’d love to do so for all the characters. Hope it all turns out, Dave.

 

[Q-Long]

I'm thinking pokedex

 

[Mogisthelioma]

The voice actor for snake said he was never hired to make extra codex conversations. Either we're stuck iwth the ones from Brawl, we don't have codex at all, or he's not giving anything up (nondisclosure agreement).
