As far as action videos go, it was really well executed and simple. A "back to basics" video that I appriciate highly. The beat sync was well executed and well timed.

However, scene selection bothered me. The in-game cut scenes were used far and few inbetween in lieu of actual battle scenes from gameplay. I would have liked to have seen more cut scenes and more scenes other than just gameplay after gameplay.

But as a SSBB fan, I can say I definitly loved it.

4.00/5.00

Yea, so I sent it to tekkoshocon. Which was kinda pointless, since I didn't go

Those "gameplay" scenes actually are cutscenes, in the sense that they are the cutscenes that play when you complete the Classic mode with each character. I agree the subspace emissary cutscenes were much nicer, but theres only so much stuff in there that you can actually sync to the music.

Oh, whew. Chrono scared me for a bit there, saying that was gameplay footage. I just can't imagine in-game graphics being that detailed.

Well, the ingame graphics ARE that detailed... its just a matter of which clips you are looking at when you consider this statement.

Everything from the beginning through about 0:37 are subspace emissary cut scenes, which are high quality cg footage. Starting at 0:37 when it shows 5 clips of mario, the first 4 clips are cutscenes of "actual gameplay footage", and then the 5th clip goes back to the high quality stuff. Then when it shows link next, theres the same pattern--4 gameplay, 1 HQ. You can tell the gameplay cutscenes from the others because they aren't antialiased.

But still, the gameplay cutscenes only make up maybe about 15% of the video.
