Let us discuss things Star Fox related here. And our blatant hatred for Krystal.
 
I wish Slippy wasn't so useless.

Brawl Fox, he's the best looking.
 
I prefer Melee, that Fox is totally a badass!!! with his voice and everything

I want another Star Fox game, just without Krystal... actually, replace her with Katt and I'm golden.
 
I'm beginning to wonder what would happen if Dinosaur Planet never became Star Fox Adventures and Krystal never crossed over into another series canon.

To answer that question Brawl Fox, I like the clown shoes.

She had the potential to be badass but then Nintendo said NOPE.
Makes me sad.


Also despite what anyone says, Assault is fun.

Remember when Fox didn't have a stupid scouter?
Remember when Wolf had an eyepatch?
That was the best star fox and best star fox design.
ALSO EVERYONE HAD STEEL LEGS, FUCKING AWESOME.
 
Melee Fox has my vote, he's the better of the two offensively I have to say. Even though Brawl's upsmash was disgustingly powerful, melee's mobility and shining was ore deadly in the end.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. I'm not a fan of Cyborg Wolf to be honest. The eyepatch was some badassery for sure.
 
I love 64, but I think the original Star Fox still holds up today. I'd even argue the original has the best soundtrack of the series, but hearing those orchestrated covers of 64's music in Star Fox Assault was definitely awesome. I also remember the the Star Fox comics in Nintendo Power, which were probably some of the coolest things to come out of that magazine.

Now, let's talk about Krystal. I have nothing against Krystal. Like people have mentioned, she was going to have a quality role in an awesome looking game before Nintendo pulled the rug out from under her. She's a victim of the industry, just like King Cobra, Nova, and all of the Colonial Marines, and I think people need to stop blaming her for her current condition.

But, I guess you can't deny that Krystal's introduction was definitely when the Star Fox series started going south. Honestly, I wish they had just gone ahead and released Star Fox 2, even if it was going to be retconned later with 64. At least then, we could have said that there were three solid Starfox games released before the Gamecube titles came out.
 
I'll admit that this:

Was an awesome remake of this:
Assualt wasn't bad but I didn't like the character design and land missions were meh.
 
I actually like that they tried to be a little innovative with land combat on Assault. My problem with it is that it wasn't executed well.
 
Krystal's not a bad character at all, just inconsequential for the most part. People only hate her because A) Adventures-Command didn't live up to the greatness of 64, and she just happened to be there, and B) "Ew furries!" as if they weren't around during the previous games or something.

That said, 64 is my favorite of the series.

I think Assault is my second favorite, even though I prefer 64's map to Assault's chapter-based system. I didn't really have a problem with the land battles. I mean, they're kind of awkward at first, but you get used to them. And I enjoyed the weapon variety and what I consider to be the best multiplayer in the series.

StarFox on the SNES was what got me into the series, and it's still pretty good even though 64 improved on it in every way (except for the OST anyway).

Command is my 4th favorite. It gets a bad rap for its story, and I'm sure a lot of people had issues with the touch-screen based controls, but still kind of liked it. It has a bit of a steep learning curve, but it's pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Can't say I'm a fan of the character designs though.

Finally, Adventures is my least favorite. I'm cool with games trying out different genres, and I think it did okay. My problem was that it seemed very easy to get stuck. There was the hint system with Slippy, but for me they were never relevant to my immediate problem. And the ending was rushed too. However, it looks really pretty, even by today's standards, and it had my favorite design for Fox.
 
To be honest I have nothing against Krystal myself, especially sense she never had really big rolls/lines (save the god awful story of Command). It's just the fact that most people associate her with the decline of quality in the Star fox games all because people didn't really appreciate Adventures (slapped together as it may be it's still decent in terms of a LoZ type of game) and Assault (ground combat needed fixing [I had fun with it though] and the story got a little left field toward the end [Star Wolf constantly randomly showing up to save fox (notably at the last level), the queen knowing about Fox's dad, to name a couple])

Yall are trippin Star Fox: Assault was my jam
I gotta say, Assault was pretty good both visually and gameplaywise (for me at least with limited complaints(Falco's pitiful health in mp and homing launchers)). The only thing that takes away from it was the length of the story and lack of any post game shit. 10 missions and no unlockable missions? come on maaaan.

And what's worse, they left no lead up at the end. The Andross family: DED, The aparoids: DED, Life on Sauria: BASICALLY DED. They have to come up with a completely different antagonist now and they know it. Even Peppy was like "Lol Fox, what the hell are we gonna do now? The mothership's dead, we got nothin on us and nobody to fight."
 
I love Star Fox Assault and don't think it deserved the amount of hate it got. The multiplayer with 3 or 4 people is an absolute blast.

I enjoyed Star Fox 2 alot more than 64 even though it's incomplete. I really really like the first SNES Star Fox also.

Adventures was just terrible but very pretty. I also really REALLY did not enjoy Command.
 
I honestly really liked Star Fox Command.
 
Fox and Wolf are like super sexy, omigosh. yip yip yap

Now that I got that out of my system I am sad to say I've never played a single Star Fox game though I've seen playthroughs of every one. If a new one was to come out for the Wii U though I would be all over it.

Also the whole metal feet/legs thing never really clicked in my head. Since the original nintendo power star fox comics implied differently in one page, I just always seemed to ignore the thought. For example, when I see melee Star fox I just think they're uncomfortable metal shoes of some sort. =p

Wii U Starfox? I'll steal it the day before release I'm that into it. Me wanty!

And yes, he has METAL LEGS. As well as the rest of the piloting cast. G-Diffuser is some serious shit man.
 
It might be because I did not grow up with Star Fox 64, but I prefer Star Fox Assault. The ground missions could have been a lot better, but the missions where you had to go from fighting on the ground to fighting in a Landmaster to grabbing an Arwing and fighting in the sky were fantastic.

Plus, as already posted, it had a fantastic version of the Star Wolf Theme.

I don't doubt that it is lol. I'm just saying with how they seem to have changed the clonky metal leg details in recent games and I don't think them being amputees is considered 100% canon, makes me wonder what's what exactly. Especially as at least 2 of the games aren't even considered canon iirc so who even knows. They are in a super advanced sci-fi...ish universe so I guess anything is possible. Personally I like to think they have actual legs but to each their own.

Someone agrees with me, Fox and Wolf are top tier husbandos. And for the metal feet thing... it doesn't really bother me... okay... it does... sorta.
 
I did enjoy all the ones I have played so far. Yes, this includes Adventures. However, that's also the low-man on the totem pole. I'd have to say the Star Fox games go like this for me.

  1. Star Fox (SNES)
  2. 64
  3. Assault
  4. Adventures
Odd Man Out: Star Fox 2

Thing with Star Fox 2 is the fact it isn't in a complete state. And the trouble I've had with getting it working.
 
Speaking of old Star Fox stuff, does anyone know what happened to those old puppets and models from the original game manual? At one point I heard they were actually on display in a museum somewhere, but I've been having trouble finding out where that was, or if they're even still there.

I guess I've always had it in the back of my mind that I would go to see them in person one day, but maybe it's just been a false rumor for all of these years.
 
These designs are sick. Especially Falco.
