Who cares, the more vocal battle themes the better. If PlatinumGames has made me love on thing, it's that.

I don't dislike the vocal themes (aside from Sonic Heroes which can die in a fire), but I want a mix of vocal and instrumental, including remixes, not just 100% original vocal themes. That's such a terrible disservice to Sonic, which is known for having consistently fantastic music.
 
and features the guitarist from Megadeth for some reason

Whoa whoa whoa WHOA.
David Mustaine's making Sonic music with Crush 40 now?
Fuck, I know Sonic soundtracks are 'meh' at absolute worst, but this is like a whole new level.

Now all we need is What I'm Made Of.

Seriously, though, when the hell's What I'm Made Of?

What's your problem with Sonic Heroes? It's one of my favourite vocal themes in the series.
I mean, like, fifth, but fifth for C40 songs is still godlike

Real talk, that theme is the only thing I can remember about Sonic Heroes.
To this day I can still hear it in my head.
 
Sonic Heroes had great ideas but garbage execution. It also has my second favorite soundtrack in the series.

1. Colors.
2. Heroes.
3. CD (Japan).
 
I remember it having sub-par controls, a poor story, starting the ruination of Shadow's character, having hilariously bad voice acting, and being overall poor.
Also I played it recently, and it has sub-par controls, a poor story, it started the ruination of Shadow's character, has hilariously bad voice acting, and is overall poor.
 
The voice acting and the way characters talk to each other during levels is a massive guilty pleasure.

But this isn't Smash.
 
So while we're on the topic, what would you guys think would be the best musical representation of the Sonic series, if you couldn't choose more than 1 song per game? Remixed medleys are okay though

For me I think it'd be:
-Green Hill Zone Medley (Including Green Hill, Emerald Hill, and Angel Island, all remixed)
-Chemical Plant Zone (remixed)
-The Doomsday Zone (remixed)
-Sonic Boom (original)
-Open Your Heart (original)
-Live and Learn (original)
-What I'm Made of (original)
-Crisis City (remixed)
-Eggmanland Day (remixed, but I'd also take Rooftop Run or Egg Dragoon or Adabat day)
-Terminal Velocity (remixed)
-City Escape Modern (original)

And if it were up to me Sonic's stage would be Eggmanland, not another green grassy zone. Though I'd be happy with ANY music not pulled from the first level or main theme of any Sonic game. In Brawl literally the only Sonic song that didn't fall into that criteria was Scrap Brain Zone, which is the weakest of the final levels musically.

Alternatively I would also be happy with a direct rip of the entire Generations soundtrack. :)

Sonic Heroes is the most annoying fucking song ever. I hate it. And it doesn't help that Heroes is what started the series's downward trend IMO. Everytime I hear the SONIC HEROEEEEES, SONIC HEROOOOOOOOES line I die a little on the inside.
 
If we're on the subject of vocal themes I'd suggest stuff from MadWorld, but I know in the bottom of my heart that it would never happen because they're way too violent and/or vulgar.

Still, imagine smashing to this:

Hard to chose, but

-Hill Zone Medley sounds sick, though I would add Neo Green Hill's music, too.
-Ice Cap Zone (Remix, either version would be fine)
-Wherehog Night Battle Suite (Original)
-What I'm Made Of (Original, I like Sonic Heroes as a song, but you don't not choose WIMO)
-Let the Speed Mend it (Original)
-Live and Learn (Original)
-Knight of the Wind (Original)
-Chemical Plant Zone (Remix)
-Sonic 2 Medley
-I Am (Original)
-Planet Wisp Medley
-Literally any song from the '06 soundtrack, because they are all fantastic.

It breaks the rules, but a medley of all the Knuckles raps would be great.
 
-Sonic Boom
-Sonic Boom again
-Sonic Boom a third time
-Super Sonic Racing
-HERE I COME
-ROUGHA THAN THE REST OF THEM
-THE BEST OF THEM
-TOUGHA THAN LEATHA
-YOU CAN CALL ME KNUCKLES
-UNLIKE SONIC I DON'T CHUCKLE
-I ' D R A T H E R F L E X M Y M U S C L E S
 
-Sonic & Knuckles's Sky Sanctuary, either original or dramatic, sweeping orchestral cover comparable to Super Mario Galaxy's Gusty Garden Galaxy
-Sonic 2's Chemical Plant, original. Not the most fitting, but it's a fan favorite. I don't think anyone would complain.
-Sonic 1's Spring Yard Zone, original or extra jazzy remix.

And because I know no one is going to say it:

-Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine's Two-Player Versus Music, original or hype butt-rock cover.

Pretty much any version of any piece of music from Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, barring the original Carnival Night Zone or Hilltop Zone which are both mediocre, is fine by me. Just so long as they are taking more slots away from the 3D Sonic music.

Not even going to lie, I forgot MBM even had a soundtrack with how little I ever had it on.

Pic of the day. Here's the main menu of the Wii U Version. Colorful silhouettes of various fighters stream in the background. It looks sparkly.

I like Smash on the 3DS and all but fighting on that tiny ass screen compared to the TV I'm used to can be very annoying. It is easier for to get lost in the fight because the screen is just so damn small.

Day 1, Smash Wii U is mine.

If by "Ridley" you mean "options," then yeah, probably.
 
yes I'll have a PK Love Omega with a side of Refresh
 
I'm sorry sir, but I'll have to see some ID if you wish to peruse our Lucas menu, you see

Guys. Smash Tour isn't in games & more. You know what that means? Smash Tour is no game....it's a way of life that will consume you for all eternity once the Wii U version launches. In other words...

SMASH TOUR AIN'T NO JOKE.
 
I really don't like how these menus are organized. Stuffing the 1P modes in Games and More, the Smash icon being 3 times larger than everything else for no real reason...
 
I remember seeing that glitch on YouTube. Would've thought the fanbase came up with a name for it already.
 
That's fucking terrifying that's what it is. The first thing I'm doing is seeing if that could happen on Orbital Gate if lasers fly around.
 
Oh yeah, the reflector glitch.
I believe that was posted her a while a back.
I figured they woulda patched it by now but I guess not.

They said they'd be more accommodating to the competitive crowd, so they made the only mode they'll be touching bigger and more visible.

It's Sakurai's design philosophy. Smash is the most important mode so therefore it gets the biggest button. 1P modes in games & more is a little weird though, but what's even weirder is having a games & more button to begin with but not putting Smash Run/Tour in there, then making the button bigger because of how is important it is.

What do you even call this?

Rosalina is literally a goddess, so I guess she can literally rain down hell upon her foes.

Why can't Palutena do that?
 

I think we might be getting trophies for every alt. You can see a whole bunch on the field here that aren't their default color or pose.

We've known this since the direct. Maybe there's a hidden mode in which you get them?

She might be able to, try using Barrier in front of the laser.

I thought all we knew was that there would be alt ones like in Melee or 3DS - not one for EVERY ALT, those had just one.

Mac will have 16 trophies to himself.

I didn't see a character with more than one alt in that video. What are you talking about?

I don't think you'll only fight either a character's regular color or one alt - I think there's a lot more. Why would EVERYONE be in their alt costume and yet everyone in the killed-box be their regular?

I dunno. It's a hunch

They probably default back to their normal colors after you win, just like in All Star. There's literally nothing supporting your idea, and you're not realizing just how much work that would be and how many unnecessary trophies that would fill the game with.
