[QUOTE=Everything;43929827]I believe the only reason they used Samus was because she is the tallest of the (currently revealed) cast who isn't a hulking creature. Canonically she's around seven feet with armor and 6.5 without. [/QUOTE] Which is another reason why Other M has basically written itself out of canon. Either the other characters in that game are ten feet tall or Samus has shrunken to the point where she can barely reach their shoulders.

[QUOTE=Reds;43930140]Which is another reason why Other M has basically written itself out of canon. Either the other characters in that game are ten feet tall or Samus has shrunken to the point where she can barely reach their shoulders.[/QUOTE] I don't really think any fan of metroid period considers Other M to be canon at all. Especially considering Other M tried to retcon all three Prime games and pretend they never happened.

[QUOTE=Everything;43929827]I will say though, Bowser or DK would've been even funnier in that same scene.[/QUOTE] "omg all bowser did was notice little mac was short and he just punched him in the kidney for no reason??? way uncool nintendo. im so done"

This thread is the only thing keeping me sane while watching TwitchPlaysPokemon

It was also a reference to the Little Mac AT screenshot from the SSBB Dojo

[QUOTE=DrZoid;43931215][IMG]http://puu.sh/6Y5MY.jpg[/IMG] remember how out of place snake was in brawl sometimes I hope they bring him back[/QUOTE] They pretty much had to make the art style in Brawl realistic and toned out so Snake would fit in. Considering the new Smash is all colorful and vibrant he'd fit in even less.

Shitposting aside, seeing as Mac is a full blown Fighter, maybe we'll get Doc Louis as an Assist Trophy :v:

[QUOTE=DrZoid;43931215][IMG]http://puu.sh/6Y5MY.jpg[/IMG] remember how out of place snake was in brawl sometimes I hope they bring him back[/QUOTE] You could replace the characters above with Ganondorf, Ike, Captain Falcon, Zero Suit Samus, etc, and Snake wouldn't look as weird in comparison then.

[QUOTE=PSI Guy;43931329]They pretty much had to make the art style in Brawl realistic and toned out so Snake would fit in.

[QUOTE=Rusty100;43931626]what? how was brawl made more realistic? just because mario's overalls have a denim texture?[/QUOTE] Everything had washed out colors and there were mapped details where the series had never needed them before, which looked out of place on some characters that had unrealistic or stylized proportions. Hell, when the trailer for the new game came out, tons of people said how much better the new style looked compared to Brawl's 'realistic' style.

i don't think the touches of more realism here or there had anything to do with snake though

Considering how they made a note of how he used explosives instead of firearms, they were definitely aware that he didn't fit in without some modifications.

nintendo didn't want the violent connotations of realistic firearms in smash bros i'm fairly sure sakurai said something to that effect in an interview

[QUOTE=PSI Guy;43931840]Considering how they made a note of how he used explosives instead of firearms, they were definitely aware that he didn't fit in without some modifications.[/QUOTE] Nintendo refused to use guns and you think it was a stylistic choice?

it's kind of a no brainer why there aren't realistic guns in ssb. it didn't have anything to do with snake. he got explosives to fit in, other things weren't changed to fit him in.

Snake could absolutely fit in the current style, you'd just have to use '87 box art Snake

I kinda wish that Metal Gear Solid 5 had a Wii U version. It being exclusive to PS4 and XBox One makes his chances of returning pretty low.

Wait, guys, this March will be the 10 year anniversary of Twin Snakes... Maybe if Snake is coming back they will announce it then.

Brawl's artstyle was nothing new. Melee was also given its realistic artstyle supposedly to show off the Gamecube's power.

[QUOTE=Indyclone77;43934032]Because Its Crap[/QUOTE] I liked the demo.

Unpopular opinion alert: I don't want Snake to return. i mean he's cool but ehhh also I hope Ice Climbers take a leave too. I think they overstayed their welcome for a 1-game-wonder.
