Ssbb codec conversations

Snake's enquiry about mind reading refers to Psycho Mantis' main ability, which involves using telepathy to predict his opponent's attacks. He also used his telepathy to predict the player's move inputs on their controller. To prevent this, the player will need to plug their controller into the player 2 slot. Ness actually did have telepathic abilities in EarthBound , albeit limited to use on animals.

Ironically, the Colonel's remarks on pyrokinesis are false, as it was Paula, not Ness, who learned that move in EarthBound , though Ness can use such abilities in all the Smash games he has appeared in. Note: Mei Ling saying that the Pikmin "carry, fight, multiply Note: Snake's comment about Ocelot's old torture device is a reference to the torture scene in Metal Gear Solid in which Revolver Ocelot runs high voltage through Snake's body after Snake was captured.

In nearly every Metal Gear game, the main character gets captured and sometimes gets tortured. Mei Ling's comment about capturing Pikachu may parody the several codec requests that Naked Snake the playable character of Metal Gear Solid 3 , more commonly known as Big Boss, or Snake's father receives from his radio team, asking him to capture some type of flora or fauna. It is also similar to what Big Boss does during Portable Ops and Peace Walker , though he also takes part in missions on the field himself.

Note: This conversation is a fairly direct translation from the Japanese version, hence Otacon using the name "Robot" at first. However, this can be seen as in-character for Otacon, as he is an otaku obsessed with Japanese culture. Note: Otacon's first comment is referencing the first Metroid game, where Samus' gender was kept ambiguous with the English guide specifically referring to her as male, where the Japanese was gender-neutral; some people even assumed her to be a robot until the very end of the game, where she removes her Power Suit after the credits; the idea was added later in the game's development, at the suggestion of one of the staff members.

Note: Snake's disbelief in magic is a bit unusual, because the Metal Gear Solid series has two infamous characters Psycho Mantis, a legitimate psychic from Metal Gear Solid , and The Sorrow, a medium from Metal Gear Solid 3 who was in fact already dead at the time the game was set and is encountered as a legitimate ghost who have abilities that defy all forms of conventional science, even with the advances of nanomachines and genetics in the Metal Gear universe.

In Ultimate , Mei Ling still speaks as though Zelda transformed into Sheik even though both characters were split starting with Smash 4. Even if multiple Snakes wear the same costume through online , Tournament Mode , team battle or a glitch , Snake will still act like their sneaking suits are a different color.

Note: While there has been a lot of speculation on the matter, no adequate explanation for Snake's animosity towards Sonic has arisen, and no reasons for the cryptic codec conversation have been provided by any official source. This may reference the fact that hedgehogs are natural predators to snakes. Otacon also breaks the fourth wall by mentioning that Sonic is featured in Brawl , which caused a lot of excitement amongst players when he was first revealed.

In Ultimate , like Jigglypuff's, this codec remains unchanged, which causes Otacon to still refer to the game as " Brawl ". However, the "the" in "Sonic the Hedgehog" is no longer capitalised. In Metal Gear Solid 2 , there is another character called Raiden who had assumed the name "Snake" early in a mission and was being manipulated into playing the role of Solid Snake in a simulated recreation of the Shadow Moses Incident from Metal Gear Solid.

His codename was later changed to Raiden to not confuse him with the enemy's leader's codename, who was also falsely going under the name of Snake.

Also, when the Colonel says "If his belly starts to bulge, watch out. It could also be a reference to the visual cue Wario gives when his Wario Waft has reached maximum power. Note: Snake's comment "kind of strange for a wolf to have friends" seems a bit odd, since wolves are famous for hunting in packs, although some species do keep to themselves.

It's most likely a reference to Sniper Wolf, a Metal Gear Solid villian who, unlike other snipers, could shoot at Snake without help from a spotter. He could also be thinking of him as a "lone wolf". If one listens carefully, the words "that's a" can be heard mumbled quickly in Snake's second line too fast to be recorded as text in the conversation.

Thus, the line is, "'Wolf'. Note: Snake wondering how Yoshi tastes could be a reference to Metal Gear Solid 3 , where the protagonist, Naked Snake later known as Big Boss, the father of Solid Snake , had to capture live animals and eat them to restore stamina.

Whenever his team mate Para-Medic mentioned a new animal that she had found, Snake would always ask about its taste, much to her disgust. Note: This is a reference to Sniper Wolf, one of Snake's female enemies in Metal Gear Solid , who doesn't show herself often and rarely moves from her position when threatening Snake.

Note: Not mentioned in the conversation is that Samus was not just trained but literally enhanced, via Chozo genetic engineering; without her Power Suit, Samus is still supernaturally agile and strong, as well as highly resistant to harsh environments. In Ultimate , Snake still treats as though Samus transformed into Zero Suit Samus even though both characters no longer transform starting in Smash 4.

The following quotes are not in the game but they were used in the E3 Trailer for Super Smash Bros. Colonel and Snake speak in Japanese here. Note: This is the only codec message which features three-dimensional models instead of two-dimensional illustrations, similar to conversations depicted in Metal Gear Solid 2.

Snake: I don't think I could even lift that thing. And he's swinging it around like it was nothing Colonel: But he also leaves himself wide open. Just make sure you avoid the swing, Snake.

Kirby [ edit ] Otacon: Snake! Watch out! Snake: For what? That pink marshmallow? He's got a powerful stomach that lets him swallow and digest anything. And he also has a " Copy Ability " that allows him to mimic opponents, steal their moves, and use those moves against them. On top of that, he has the power to fly around the stage, so once he's got you in his sights, there's no place to run.

Yeah, got it. Link [ edit ] Snake: Otacon, who's the guy with the sword? Otacon: That's Link. He's the hero of Hyrule. He's a force to be reckoned with. Snake: Gear is only useful when it's used at the right time and place. Just lugging a ton of it around doesn't do you any good. I, uh I wouldn't be talking if I were you, Snake. Snake: What's that supposed to mean?

Otacon: You tell me, Mr. Utility Belt. Ultimate , Otacon's mention of the Clawshot was removed due to Link's moveset being based on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and no longer including it. Snake: Mei Ling, what's that purple fire coming out of his hands? Mei Ling: That's his " Aura. Mei Ling: I guess you could call it his life force.

Lucario can use his own Aura and turn it into power. Every time Lucario's damage increases, his Aura gains strength, making his attacks more powerful. So don't think you've got him beat just because his health is down. Snake: The cornered rat will bite the cat Sounds like trouble. Mei Ling: Hey! When did you become so good with proverbs?! Snake: You must have rubbed off on me. Mei Ling: Well, come back in one piece, and I'll teach you all the Chinese proverbs you can handle.

Snake: Lucas? But the poor little guy's had such a hard life. His mother was killed when he was young, and he was separated from his brother. After that, he faced all kinds of senseless hardships, and he slowly grew stronger.

Snake: Senseless hardships--yeah, I had a lot of those, too. The question is how you translate those hardships into a better future. Mei Ling Well, I hope things turn out OK for him. Luigi [ edit ] Snake: That guy with the mustache Colonel: Ha.

You mean the "King of Second Bananas"? Snake: Hey, that's Luigi! Show him a little respect! Colonel: Look at that pale skin. He's been living in his brother's shadow for too long. Snake: That's a low blow, Colonel! Colonel: Face it, Snake! Once a kid brother, always a kid brother! Snake: Colonel, what's gotten into you?! Colonel: La li lu le lo. La li lu le lo.

Snake: Colonel, snap out of it! Mario [ edit ] Colonel: Snake, you know who that is? Snake: You're kidding, right? It's Mario. Colonel: Mario made his first appearance in , and since then, he's become a worldwide phenomenon. There's probably not a single person who doesn't know Mario. He's that famous. Snake: Good thing I survived long enough to meet him on the field of battle, huh. Colonel: This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance, Snake. Now get out there and show him what you're made of.

No regrets. Snake: Got it. Marth [ edit ] Mei Ling: Snake, have you heard the saying "Politics makes strange bedfellows"? Snake: Don't tell me that's a Chinese proverb. Mei Ling: Err, no It means that when the going gets tough, you might need unexpected partnerships in order to succeed. Marth was a prince whose kingdom was usurped. He didn't even have an army to fight with him. But as he battled his way forward, he found new allies to fight at his side, and in the end, he was able to reunite the war-torn land of Altea.

Snake: So he built his army from the ranks of his defeated enemies Mei Ling: Marth did his share of fighting, too. Even when he had an army, he was always alongside his men in the thick of battle. Then he was betrayed by one of his most trusted friends.

I can't even imagine how that feels Snake: I can. Meta Knight [ edit ] Snake: Mei Ling, there's a mysterious masked man flying around here with a sword Mei Ling: That's Meta Knight. He's a knight from Dream Land. They say his sword swings can break the sound barrier. Whatever you do, don't get caught in one of his furious barrage attacks. He also commands the Halberd , a flying battleship. Snake: Mm, I've seen it.

The bow looks like his mask. What kind of weirdo puts his face on the bow of a ship, anyway? Mei Ling: Umm, maybe he's a little narcissistic. Kind of like someone else I know. Snake: Really And who would that be? Mei Ling: Use your imagination Otacon: That's Mr. He comes from a world where everything is flat. They were powered by large-scale integrated circuits and only had mono-chrome LCD displays, so characters kinda looked like the numbers on a calculator.

The guy you're looking at now, Mr. Snake: This is making my head hurt. Otacon: Well, um I mean Look, just start fighting him, and I'm sure everything will make sense. Ness [ edit ] Colonel: That kid Isn't that Ness? Snake: Ness? Colonel: He may look like a mere boy, but don't let that fool you.

He has PSI abilities that defy all scientific explanation. Snake: Just like Psycho Mantis Colonel: Exactly. He can use teleportation, levitation, pyrokinesis, and psychokinesis. Snake: Yeah, but the question is, can he read minds? Colonel: Not to my knowledge, no. Snake: Good. Then I won't have to worry about him predicting my every move. Colonel: Even if he had telepathic powers, I don't think he'd use them to mess with you like that. I hear he's a good kid. Snake: I've been waiting for the movie.

Mei Ling: Basically, it's meant to express the impermanence of all things. You know, like even when Captain Olimar has lots of Pikmin with him, they could be all be gone the next moment.

Those poor little guys--they carry, they fight, they multiply Olimar has lots of company one minute and be all alone the next.

It's so sad. Snake: But he can pluck out more Pikmin anytime he wants, right? Mei Ling: Well, yeah, I suppose so. Snake: No one truly fights alone. Not even me. You're absolutely right, Snake. Good luck. I'm rooting for you. She's been kidnapped numerous times by Bowser. Snake: Sounds pretty serious Mei Ling: Yes, but every time it happens, Mario ends up saving her.

Sure, he may not look like your ideal "knight in shining armor. But still, don't you think it's romantic? I mean, to have a guy who's always there for you?

Snake: If he was smart, he'd tell her to stop getting kidnapped. You don't get a lot of dates, do you, Snake? Pikachu [ edit ] Mei Ling: Ooh, how cuute!

Snake: What? The yellow thing? Mei Ling: That's Pikachu. They're popular all over the world, you know. And it may look cute, but be careful. It can store up large amounts of electricity in those adorable little cheeks. It'll try to pepper you with electric shocks. Snake: Couldn't be much worse than Ocelot's old torture device Mei Ling: Oh, and, Snake? Mei Ling: I was wondering, could you maybe try and catch Pikachu for me?

Snake: Give me a break! Mei Ling: Fine Sorry I asked. Pit [ edit ] Snake: Otacon, there's a kid with wings out here. Is he a mutant? Or is he just into costumes? Otacon: That's Pit, Snake. Pit is an angel from Angel Land. He's the captain of Palutena 's Army. Campbell: Mario made his first appearance in , and since then, he's become a worldwide phenomenon.

There's probably not a single person who doesn't know Mario. He's that famous. Campbell: This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance, Snake. Now get out there and show him what you're made of. No regrets. Colonel Al : Ha. You mean the "King of Second Bananas"? Campbell: Hardly. Bowser leads an entire army of monsters. But I'd worry more about his claws and fire if I were you. Campbell: Well, he is the king of Koopas.

It's only natural he'd be slow. But that's only because he's the heaviest fighter here—by far. He's a powerhouse of destruction. Careful he doesn't flatten you. She's been kidnapped numerous times by Bowser.

Mei Ling: Yes, but every time it happens, Mario ends up saving her. Sure, he may not look like your ideal "knight in shining armor. But still, don't you think it's romantic? I mean, to have a guy who's alway's there for you? Roy Campbell: That's Wario, Snake. Wario first appeared as Mario's rival, but he really made his name in the WarioWare games. Watch out for Wario's bite.

It's not just damage you take from it. Campbell: Wario loves garlic. He eats whole cloves of it day and night. So try not to get caught in his mouth. Once that smell gets on you, it'll stick to you for quite a while. Otacon : That's a Yoshi. It's a dinosaur from Yoshi's Island. Watch out for it's long, chameleon-like tongue. If it gets you, you'll be swallowed whole. Snake: Now, you've got me curious.

How about I capture one so we can see what they taste like? Otacon: That's Donkey Kong. As you can tell, he's got strength to spare. He may be king of the jungle, but he lives in a house just like you or me.

And he seems pretty smart—well, for an ape, anyway. The Donkey Kong who fought that epic battle with Mario was this guy's grandfather. Otacon: Nope. They're still at it. Seems like they're always competing in something—kart racing, sports, you name it. Otacon: That's Diddy Kong. He's Donkey Kong's partner. Not only is he lightweight, he can use a wide range of weapons as well.

He can fly using those barrel jets on his back, and he can shoot nuts with his Peanut Popgun. Otacon: Wait, here's the best part. You see them lying on the ground after he shoots? If you pick up some of those peanuts, they'll restore your health a little. Otacon: That's Link. He's the hero of Hyrule. He's a force to be reckoned with. Snake: Gear is only useful when it's used at the right time and place.

Just lugging a ton of it around doesn't do you any good. In Ultimate, Otacon's reference to the Clawshot was omitted, since Link in that game was derived from his Breath of the Wild depiction rather than his Twilight Princess depiction. Otacon: Snake! Ganondorf is dangerous! His ambition is to rule the world, and he's got the power to do it.
