I doubt Dante would be in it since he’s never been on a Nintendo console. But, anything is possible I guess. Maybe it’s for Viewtiful Joe or something.
Oh, and Everybody Votes Channel composer? Playable Miis confirmed?
Except in Europe apparently. I guess PAL users might get the shaft again.
Seriously, this list may be the biggest drop of whose gonna be in it. Let me see if I got this right -
Possibly Raiden (MGS4) who else, right?
GOD HAND?!
Pikmin dude
PROJECT SYLPHEED (haha, playable ships? XD)
Dante
NiGHTS
Chrono
Kingdom Hearts? Sora, Riku.
I am skeptical, but givin the “This may be risky” comment, I remain optimistic.
ok well let’s narrow dow nthose composers to the games that have been on a nintendo console… but, the guy who worked on the GRANDIA music, like a poster said on smashboards.com, only worked on a vaporware game yet he’s listed with Grandia in his credits.
so this is very interesting.
Hell, with Snake on there, another Metal Gear Solid character isnt far-fetched. NiGHTS is Wii-bound, so he’s in. Chrono, of course. I saw sooo many litle boys at the Smashboards almost in tears to have him in. lol
Kingdom Hearts characters are possible aswell, since they had a game on the GBA.
A poster on smashboards.com is wrong. The two Grandia composers listed are Iwadare and Nishi. Iwadare has composed a variety of soundtracks, including to OST to Gyakuten Saiban 3/Ace Attorney Phoenix Wright: Trials & Tribulations, while Nishi has composed music and has worked as a sound engineer for Grandia II, Lunar 2, and Silpheed.
OH SHIT, PHOENIX WRIGHT AND DRAGONMASTER ALEX ARE IN THIS GAME GUYS.
Seriously, no. Don’t be unrealistic and let yourselves get disappointed.
well yeah, the whole not being on a nintendo console thing might get dante…
i did see some clover games (godhand and stuff) so viewtiful joe would be a sound addition…if his powers didnt make things hard to understand in smash…unless they only worked on him and him alone.
so much square composers in the game…how will square play out…chronotrigger sounds like it would be an obvious choice…
chrono already has the ultimate of ynow…epicness…
Maybe a lot of these possible characters won’t be playable. Rather, they could make cameos in the adventure mode or something.
right right!!! The gba kindom hearts 1.5 card game action battle rpg thing… yeah…lol, imagine Riku going in Heartless Form (pre or current kingdom hearts 2 form, whichever is relevent here). Man, thanks for reminding me Shade, i played through it but i lost the cartridge somewhere, the game wasn’t that good anyway but it did explain some things in Kingdom Heart 2. anyway…
from the wii thread, i’ll repost this here since it’s relevent and raises an eyebrow or two:
woot super bars ftw. just dont make it “game breaking” like Mario Tennis on the Gamecube, the super smashes in there were completely broken and ruined the fun rallying of the game. It was literally GGPO if your opponent got super first. I hated super smashes, ugh.
less than 50 characters? That’s alot, rivaling Mvc2 :o.
other than fan service, if they were unplayable and just a background art, then that would be very disappointing.
Wild ARMS characters!?
I doubt it, but at least the game will have a diverse set of music.
i’m still waiting for Capcom to bust out Megaman (NOT Megaman X or XZ or Zero, i’m talking about Megaman 1-8 blue bomber megaman) on this game…
The one im keeping a hawkeye for is any pixel of Megaman 8-bit goodness touching Sakurai’s fingers… Megaman is godtier. Megaman vs Kirby? Who would win? Megaman of course, SSBM Gummi-style Kirby just doesn’t hold a candle to SSB N64 solid Kirby.
Edit: but i doubt they will make him copy others abilities as Kirby can do that already, maybe they will focus on class-weapons a.l.a. Marvel vs. Capcom 2, leaf shield, propellar twister, rockball, maybe have rush-assist type.
I doubt they’d license character use, and simply use them for “cameo’s”. Waste of money (on their part).
Damn. Come to think of it… each day it’s only going to get better… and better… and better. Slowly but surely. If they were planning what I think they planned with that site launch countdown, then I think they succeeded: they built up all that seemingly useless hype… to start building a RIDICULOUS amount of good hype. Can you imagine how crazy this shit is gonna get as more shit is revealed?! Right now, they’re just fucking with us by basically showing us shit we mostly already know about. But it’s gonna fuck with us that much more when they throw out some actual new shit! Those slick bastards. I’m keeping my eye on this shit every fucking day now!
Shit I just listened to the remix of the menu song and that shit gave me chills. It reminded me of the first time I played SSBM. That is an unforgettable feeling. (God I can’t wait to play this game.)
However, I’m not gonna jump the gun and get my hopes up by looking at the musician/composer list. It’s still only music as far as I’m concerned. That’s no real indication of who will be appearing in the game. It’s way too presumptuous to think that just because a musician is known for doing work in a certain popular series/games, then a character from that game will be in this game in some shape or form.
Edit: Whoa this thread moved too damn fast for me.
i confess, i changed my homepage to www.smashbros.com in firefox. so everytime i sign on, i’m up to date. And RSS can be unreliable if the server sucks balls.
yeah, i’m that much into this. /wears fanboyism proudly. 
Same here. :lol:
Oooo pretty new screenshots.
NIIIIICEEEEE
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/music01.html
lots of BIG names…
they even got the street fighter 2 music composer in there :X
Somewhat disapointed but the music is going to be hot. Now if they show i don’t know 10 more new characters…
I couldn’t care less who the composers are, they could have set a computer to randomly arrange clicks and beeps and it would mean the same to me (actually, that would make it a lot more badass). Most of the time while I’m playing console fighting games I have the tv muted, anyway. Glad I didn’t stay up last night for this.
if Chrono makes it into this game, that will be the shit. Daily updates should be interesting and thank god I got some sleep last night.
