If the metal battle in Classic Mode comes back, I hope they would remix this song.

Idly, I see LordWilliam has been having fun with image editing lately.
Back on topic, I could go for a remix of the Metal Mario music. I suspect you like it far more than I do, but it’s an alright track either way.
As for that picture (or rather, its caption), all that brings to mind is the line from a certain late 70s film. “Warrriiiooorrrssss… come out to play-aaaay…”
Yeah, Sakurai’s not really giving us much to work with here. I wouldn’t mind a new match video or two at this point.
Today’s pic
And apparently it’s Sakurai’s birthday today.
SHORYUKEN!
UnSaxon51, you’re a genius! You’ve just helped me realize what single-player is going to involve. Get this: Unlockable moves. Mega Man’s single-player story can be played as normal if you like, but you also have the option to go back to the mine cart stage after you’ve defeated all the other opponents normally and gathered every hidden item. You’re going to have to replay the mine cart level about a half-dozen times or so, but after you do this there will be a hologram-emitting capsule with a recording from Dr. Light. After Mega Man uses it, he’ll gain the insta-kill* Hadouken move, done via QCF+B. You can only do it while at full health (or rather, 0% damage taken insofar as Smash cares) but anyone hit by it will be knocked past a blast-boundary, guaranteed.
*: Will not kill Vile while he’s still in his giant robot, but Vile’s inclusion in Smash 4 is not a sure thing in any event.
…What do you mean ‘wrong game and wrong Mega Man continuity to boot’? Bah!
Hello new AV!

If Sakurai wasn’t being silly before…
I was also looking through some of Smash’s pics and I can’t remember if this one was ever discussed or not.

This really does look like Link is hitting Samus’ charge shot back at her with his master sword. I think that could be a nice reference to Link doing energy beam volleyball with bosses in the pass and if it is in…should probably be limited to his Forward Smash in the same vein that Ness is able to hit back projectiles with his bat. I’d also only make it so that it hits back beam based projecticles since sword attacks can negate most projectiles in smash if swung correctly/at the right time.
While I would love for Link to repel projectiles, there’s also the possibility that Samus jumped away from Link the moment he attacked and started launching her charge shot.
would have been cooler if it was an empty bottle and link used it to play energy tennis. you know…thinking about it, why don’t they just give link some better specials? For down B I’d rather have a weapons system a la peaches forward smash. or an actually useful recovery
Doesn’t Link’s shield reflect projectiles already?
No, it just negates them if the projectiles hit it right.
Wonder if he’ll have a projectile sword-beam thingy like he has in Skyward Sword.
Worse; he’ll have his companion/advisor from Skyward Sword. After a move KOs you, the game will stop for her to relate all kinds of irrelevant crap. “You have evaded Pit’s Forward Smash only 28% of the time it has been attempted on you and used Directional Influence against it only 17% of the time; please put more emphasis on dodging! You may also find it interesting that 288 of the 296 times this move have been used on you, it was done on a Tuesday. Remember not to jump into spikes, X! Koko desu ka!”, etc.

I’m actually unfamiliar with this…but according to people on Miiverse they’re saying it’s Pilotwings from the SNES.
that or a very flat advanced wars
That’s Pilotwings (SNES) or else inspired by it. I am almost certain of that; I recall the circular landing pad targets from the parachute diving part of the game.
zomg teh plaen frum pilotwnigs si confirmed 4 brawl!!!111one ow ow ow stop punching me I’ll behave now
Edit: Another thing in support of it being Pilotwings-or-inspired-by-said is the ‘flatness’ of it, as Combo Knight has pointed out. That effect is very similar to what you get in certain ‘Mode 7’ displays in SNES games. The angle and ‘dimension’ of this screenshot are thus quite the nostalgia trip.
All I hope is that the Pilotwings stage has plenty of GLORIOUS MODE 7 GRAPHICS!!!

Hell yes to a Pilotwings stage. I hope we get more images!
I thought that was 1999 AD… I feel really stupid.
Surprised it hasn’t been mentioned yet, but this time we need to have an active and organized SRK SB group going. When Brawl launched we had a billion SRK’ers and even an IRC room to organize casuals and tournies, but then after the first few months there was a sharp dropoff and 95% of yall stopped playing…either that or yall got tired of losing my my skillful meta knight tornado spam =p.
Hopefully this time around the GD scene can get a group of regulars going years from now, although I haven’t played Brawl in 3 years, up until then I played the hell out of it because even with shitty net code it was some of the most fun I’ve ever had with a game.
Fingers crossed for GGPO netcode…who am I kidding there’s a better chance of Mario being in SF5.
