I hope they have a play where I can watch the entire thing. I ended up leaving to see if my local Best Buy was hosting Smash-Fest (they weren't ;-;) and I just made it back in time to see Ken wreck people's shit.

I... I like that the customization items are given character-specific names. Mario's got Ultra-Lightweight shoes, for example.

I sure said that!

Think the full version will have Soda Popinski's version of the theme?

I'm sorry for this in advance. I know I've been kind of a negative nancy about this game's sound today.

I hate the Punch-Out jogging theme remix. You know how I said not everything needs electric guitars? This music does. Put in some drums at least! Give it a good beat! The original chiptune version honestly pumps me up more. Why'd they get rid of the rhythm and make it a dull faux-orchestral piece? :|

The section on Little Mac from the Greninja Direct has another version of the jogging theme like that, though.

[up][up]I think they were trying to more encapsulate Bill Conti's Rocky score.

Punch-Out!! basically has four songs, so I'm expecting a lot of remixes of the main fight theme and the jogging theme.

Can I just say how happy I am that nobody's stooped to that theme's nickname yet?

Keep being classy, guys.

Are the Smash Bros segments of the Treehouse going to be uploaded somewhere? I missed the earlier ones.

Pretty sure it's Nickelback's Boxing Theme.

That was the boxing theme, actually. That one wasn't bad.

I think they were trying to more encapsulate Bill Conti's Rocky score.

I don't know why they'd almost completely eschew drums, then. I mean, it seems like the Punch-Out Wii Boxing Theme was trying to do the same thing, and it had a good drum beat to pump you up. It just seems like by getting rid of the rhythm, you're going out of your way to make the music less suitable for a fighting game.

...That's probably enough for me for today.

Anyone else noticing Link's been right up there with Mario (if not moreso) in all the promotional material for this game? Looking at the box art, you'd think he was Nintendo's poster boy more than Mario was.

Huh, looks like Sonic's recolors are slightly better this time around.

And by slightly, I mean at least one of them has a vaguely Silver-like hue.

Wouldn't the Gematsu leak being true mean that the only unconfirmed newcomers are Chrom (which would make three blue-haired lords, just saying), Shulk (do think he's likely) and Chorus Men? (ehh)

Anyway, i went there, to the one near the Century III mall in Pittsburgh. Took 2 hours and 45 minutes to get through, play both versions, and out.

Not too much ability to get a bead on things, especially since the control scheme was kind of confusing (used to A being jump on 3DS, after all), so it took me a bit to get in the groove of things. 3DS version had the "Smash" mode glitched out, so the only version attendees could play was Smash Run, which was fun, if a bit chaotic. Event bosses appear, similar to City Trial. In my case, a large Bulborb (Pikmin) came on screen. Fights are fun, but quick. Should be good fun once i've had a chance to get a feel for the controls.

Wii U version was electric, a total blast. The demo had, i think, the 20 characters from the tournament yesterday. Again, there was a bit of initial awkwardness as the Nintendo reps had brought a quartet of Pro Controllers, which i've never used actually, so there was a while where i was trying to do Kirby's Stone attack and kept doing his d-air instead . I still won the first match as Kirby, against Rosalina, Villager, and i think Little Mac. Second round I chose Wii Fit Trainer, who i hadn't seen anyone ahead of me in line choose, against Samus, Greninja, and Marth, where i evened out on K Os and falls and came third place.

Still, incredible. Controls like a dream.

Played Metroid II on my 3DS, spotpassed a bunch of folks. Couldn't get any of my irl friends to join me, unfortunately, though the two guys behind me in line were pretty cool (and i ended up playing with them).

I'd really recommend it, just show up early.

Me from another forum on the Smash event at Best Buy.
