Fourside - History Behind Super Smash Bros. Melee

[luf4rall]

This game was as good as it was weird.

[IzanagiPersona]

moonside did take place at night. when you slept at the hotel the guy said that its always night there

[LionheartMachinima]

..And I wonder if Fourside is a reference to Merseyside...

[LionheartMachinima]

Heh. Heheh.Twoson... Tucson. Heh. Heh heh.

[flyroc64]

An interesting video.

[catfishkng30]

@GameMasterGuy you mean the Sky RUNNER?

[GameMasterGuy]

Wait, I thought that the UFO was the Sky Walker (Sky Jogger or something outside of Japan due to legalities involving Star Wars' protagonist) that Jeff rode through Fourside on the way to Threek/ Threed...

[GeassGuru]

super smash bros wii u and 3ds should have stages from brawl,melee and 64

[elgordonet20]

I miss this stage from melee..so i decided to make it in the Stage Biuld in Brawl and have it back :D but this time NO UFO:(

[BlessedratdragonAlt]

wow, i always loved this stage every time i played melee, now im even more amazed on how its made

[Nintenweirdo]

nice video actually th dept store in front of monotoli building was attacked by the aliens I think its a reference

[chaomayhem]

when i saw ness in ssb i thoght the game hes from looks silly..........then i got to the final boss of earthbound

[InsomniumX]

maybe there are more taller buildings because this is the bad future because there aliens

[TheFlyingPenguinz]

I cant beat the first Sanctuary Guardian on Earthbound. I get raped before I even get to the boss

[SuperMetaKnight100]

earthbound is cool giygas is cool master belch is not cool

[HiSaysMel]

Moonside and Fourside were my favorite parts of the game. :)

[doggendoo]

ah, coffee. my favorite part of the mother series. (not really but still. COFFEE IS AWESOME IN THAT GAME!) i could have sworn i had one of those coffee sequences in real life once. My first cup of coffee!

[TheEpicWerehog620]

In the café, did anyone else hear a warped Star-Spangled Banner/An Acrion in Heaven in the bg music?

[DanteDMCry]

@TheEpicWerehog620 -_- i bet u just read dat on starman(dot)net and now ur just showing off xD if nt my bad, yes ur right

[TheEpicWerehog620]

@DanteDMCry Actually, I realized that LONG before I first heard of starmen(dot)net.

[aweses]

When I unlocked this stage a few years back, Nostalgia punched me in the face

[Accumen26]

i think it's cool the sound stone music playing in the background probably would have been better for onett

[alexisarocker]

That city have everything!

Enormous buildings, helicopters and aliens! :)

[dragongame2]

I like the ssbm earthbound better than the original

[chaosmaster07]

People who played EB must've really liked seeing the SSBM stages.

[PikaGal444]

9:23 O_o Is the Extra Cranky Lady getting raped?

[mdalsted]

@PikaGal444 (sigh) No, that's just the AI (Artificial Idiocy).

[gamer1829]

pokey= ASS!

[Inferno144X]

you do know that the melee Fourside was designed to allow a greater ability to fight and move on the entire stage, including the Monotoli building, which has the spire in the background.

[Reoko77]

The real reason its set at night is because we grasped the true form and its secretly called fourMOONside.

oh, can anyone do me a favor and sharpen me?

[Pogiforce]

I got more of the sense that Monotoli was a huge business tycoon, not the mayor. He had bought off the police and such. Otherwise the Monotoli building would have been Town Hall.

[toyotasupramaster]

It would be nice to see Threed with Zombies in Brawl

[Gommo64Guapo]

OwO! I LOVE THE SONG OF COFEE BREAK!

[Garrador]

belch's burps are really disgusting

[DejaBlue95]

That UFO intro sound is kinda creppy

[martooxxx]

DIDN'T USED TO BE

typo at 1:33

still earthbound rox

[Mugenwind123]

that statue is some good sh*t

[KoopaThaKing]

I always thought of it as Fourside in the future.

[Poppomatic64]

Yeah Fourside would have been great in Brawl

Maybe changed with some new effects

Or no not changed at all because it WAS SO FREAKIN AWESOME

You dont really know what a clever stage it is like Onette unless you have played Earthbound

Kinda like most of the stages

Game info is needed to fully understand there Awesome Clever Stages! :D lol

[Poppomatic64]

Awesome I love Earthbound!

Also this may support your Moonside theory

The Monotoli building on the stage has flashing red lights around it

like it was outlined in red neon in Moonside in Earthbound

Just Saying lol

Great Vid and Vids Dude!

[MasterMario765]

they should've kept Fourside and put it in Brawl

[oxe161]

well i believe some guy won an american cartridge of earthbound zero and destroyed it.

i dont really remember a lot

[supersonicmike1]

I wonder why the ufo's were in fourside? Instead they should of had a starman come down and do some damage.

[IMMGIYGAS]

Is it me or did I hear the "star spangled banner" In the warehouse in 1:20-1:38..? Listen very carefully to the background music.

[minirazor]

@IMMGIYGAS You did haha, I fucking love Earthbound.

[pokemonluvme]

Super Pichus cousin works with the UFO company?The Super Pichu thing i created.

Does anyone want stromboli after they see this video?(note the mayors name.)

lolz

[divamccool]

No se si han captado este error, pero los edificios de batalla de Fourside se mueven sobre el piso de las calles porque flotan, no están sujetos.

[BigMDooply13]

Actually this isn't fourside, its Moonside!

[spikidawikidawow]

Sidem oonsi demoon. Welc welc omewelc omeome.

[SirJerith]

If you look really closely at the helicopter in melee you can see Pokey! No joke! I saw him this morning!

[NeotyKairyu2]

BURRRRP

[blackchaosshadow]

I belive the UFO's attacking were only after the events of the game.. but since ness stoped Giygas, it never happened

[sasusaku64X]

aliens did attack fourside, not with laser beams but they atcked the department store

[TheMasterMudkip]

@sasusaku64X you are right. that did actually happen if i remember right

[LozoRozoDX]

@sasusaku64X true

[QuesoGr7]

@sasusaku64X

And took Paula (the bastards)

[RioluOfTheEast]

@sasusaku64X That was a mook... did it count?

[IamtherealKingDedede]

Running Pichu on UFO = epic XD

[metaXzero]

Earthbound was released outside of Japan. Mother 1 (fan name Earthbound Zero, would've been named Earthbound) was translated, but not released and Mother 3 was never released outside Japan.

[Uburez]

earthbound was the only one released earthbound zero(mother) was translated yet never released lucas comes from mother 3 witch will never be released in america

[metaXzero]

Not "never". Just highly unlikely.

[Knightmessenger]

I was just going to ask why have the other character from Earthbound besides Ness be Lucas when in these videos, he's mostly with Jeff and Paula.

Jeff and Paula were also trophies in melee so it seems weird to have Lucas but not them in Brawl.

[yishto]

You dont get poo until later in the game and Paula is kidnapped in some parts of the town.

[jointron33]

cuz lucas is the protagonist of mother 3

[Blaglfre]

EarthBound WAS released outside of Japan. It's been released in North America for about 13 years...On the SNES.

Look it up.

.

[4xzx4]

How about the moving platform that Pichu stands on?

[rocker1296]

in the cafe I swear I heard the stars spangled banner

[TrigonySL]

You did hear it the creepy xylophone humming. The horns/violins in the background is a sample from Little Rascals. Shigesato Itoi put a lot of pop culture references

[projackX]

so... your trying to tell us that kind of messed up on fourside?

[Sk8ingShadow]

If you were in the 'real' Fourside, and your not on the first floor of an apartment that's on fire, good luck getting out, lol.

[qwertyqeys]

7:53 That music is incredibly creepy.

Makes it feel like a much more serious game.

[989FOX989]

7:40 to about 7:47, it's the same effect during the final battle against Giygas

[luckjes112]

it looks a bit like pokemon games

[hotdiddykong2]

you know also the fact that when you were showing how there were tall building some have neon lights like red blue and green which is also how its Moonside

[tubeview96]

moonside is like one of my acid fantasies, if i ever were to have one

[bluefalcon55000]

Fourside should've returned for brawl

[espio87]

Yeah, but then we would be saying "Onett should've returned for brawl". I would be happy if they just put Fourside's theme on Onett

[444mariosonic]

@bluefalcon55000 Ya not crappy onett

[themangOMEGA]

@bluefalcon55000 In addition, they should've added Twoson as another stage included in Brawl. But alas, let's just say that Reggie Fils-Aime is still the president of Nintendo. Same guy who is always the one to tell people the Mother 3 isn't coming to America.

[qsxsqsxs]

@bluefalcon55000

I KNOW... instead of Onett

[eaglesbaseball07]

You forgot the crane & the building on the left side of the monotoli building.

[Drunksonic]

Well, if you look at 2:42, it has a flat piece, so I would say it looks familiar.

[TrainorJon]

I wish i didnt have to delete the emulator and the gam from my computer. I had very little space...

my dad made me....

i think im gonna cry :(

[hubacchris]

How come fourside moves soo strangly when you pan the camera? That is soo trippy. I really hate playing on fourside and pause it.

[TeeTop2008]

Yeah it's like one part is actually part of the stage and then the other is just pasted as a background.

[ibarra1988]

este escenario era d los mas chidos JAJAA K BUENOS RECUERDOS ...

CUANDO APAÑABA EN MELEE XD

[modestmango]

It realy bothered me when Pokey's head looked out of the helicopler (6:00). ikd, it just looked weird

oh yeah...demonic88, you suck

[IceCoo5697]

odd moon side was just an ilusion from a machine

[yoshifanatic64]

you complain about him trolling then you kindly ask him when earthbound was released. typical

[OmegaPrimePhazon]

I agree. What an asshole.

[bigredjew]

When stuff on YouTube pisses you off. You know what you do? YOU DON'T WATCH IT. Dumbass.

[Monodi91]

Extreme hypocrisy might arrive

[TAFHUC]

Its just a vid to show people and entertain them. Its rather interesting really. You shouldn't get too mad at them

[ps3fake23]

i miss 4side stage they should of put it in brawl :(

[ScrawnyWorldOrder]

LOL May I Sharpen You?

[NinoBrown23]

this is an awesome breakdown. A+ lol

[MeleeYaMum]

Its funny, if you didn't notice this, the first 4 (I think) major towns/cities have numbers in there name from which you visit them ONEtt, TWOson, THREEd and FOURside. Just thought I'd point that out. Also in the prequel (mother 1) Instead of Ness the characters name was Ninten(do) and Ness is an anagram of SNES.

[Memer1995]

I was thinking of that some days ago and now I am confused with the pronounciation of Onett.

[SentinelKenil]

It's pronounced Oh-nett, so don't worry it's only the spelling of the letters that make them number friendly, not the pronunciation.

[IMMANESS]

Fourside is weird sometimes...

[pokemonlulz]

ooh, magic cake. um...i mean....flashy lights and enemies like abstract art? lol

[zed617]

The magic cake was in Summers not Fourside.You could hack it so they sell magic tarts though.

[shadow5481]

So in earthbound to escape a fire youd have to break into someone elses apartment through their window then leave through their window and comtinuesly do it again till you reached the bottom? In that case many people oviously didint make it in time.

[stargater94]

i guess the guys who designed the Fourside stage in SSBM were smart enough to redesign the fire escape thingy....

[XtotehZ]

nostalgia would be stronger if they didnt modify the ladders...

[neoman289151]

make history behind ssbb if u ever get the game

[HawkesIV]

Nice job. I haven´t finished Earthbound yet, but i will!... some day

[Cssclix]

finish it its a great game >:/

[HawkesIV]

Im on it. It is one of the best RPG´s on history

[rowanenistamed]

i proble sound stupid but snes kida looks llike ness is you move the s to the end

[Twisttheawesome]

Yeah, it's meant to be viewed the other way around, with the copter in front.

[LeonardoGolden]

"Emulator"? Aww, I thought you had EarthBound :(

[RogueAssassin18]

thats just like having the game

[LeonardoGolden]

Hah!

Actually, it's much, MUCH different.

[RogueAssassin18]

not, not really. it plays just like the same exact game.

[KevFil]

yeah it plays the same but its not the same feeling.....but hye im lucky i have it for the snes

[nintendoman100000]

Mother is Earthbound's name in japan

[Deffie]

Actually Earthbound is Mother 2.

[nintendoman100000]

No,i meant the the series name.

[italianstallion904]

very very interesting.

[soniclover122]

ness is my favrioute charter to use in ssb and ssbb.:)

[redsox8333]

ditto

[soniclover122]

thanx!! :>

[MasterQuest64]

Note: When u talk to the guy in the bar with the red shirt the music is the star spangled banner O_O

[KilobyteBrain]

no.

[masterstarfox]

it's like ness went through time and space and gone to another world in another universe.

[Cheeta011]

Is this game for the SNES

[mcunnigham1995]

yes.

[TobiasZeroleth]

yes

you really need to play it, I think it's the best game I've ever played :)

[DeDaDoDu]

earthbound ftw... its the best game ever after ssbb

[Cheesethemegamaster]

i that because Foursdie is so important in the game they wanted it to look like a real big city. fits the stage tone better its kinda sad though that the melee version is what most citys look like instead of no trees and grass and stuff. Im glad i dont live in a city like that

[starwarsfreak96]

wow you really know your shit!

[1EyedWillie11]

Monotoli wasn't the mayor....

[GregTheLion]

If you ask me, SSBM turned Fourside into an alternate New York.

[NeotyKairyu]

to 22sec - BURP BURP BURP BURP BURP BURP

[pearcilicker]

I really didn't like that boss. It was all too gross, fighting a giant pile of vomit. Mother 2 came up with some weird ideas.

[onett32]

Why is Heli messed up when it takes off

[TheoriginalDRBOB]

because pokey is a crappy pilot

[EpicOdysseus]

No, Mother 3 takes place a few years after EarthBound, he's just another PSI-using boy you play as later on in the EarthBound storyline.

[jerrbear123]

Sir if you will look at the background of the melee stage you will clearly see that its full of many things not found in Earthbound. Obviously they're not trying to make a carbon copy.

[TheoriginalDRBOB]

hes just trying to point out the similarities.

[bazzi15]

I can't tell if his name is Porky or Pokey. I just picked either one.

[Metroid111]

Also, if you listen closely, youll notice they play the same thing in SSBM, well the begiinging at least, its the same execpt its faster

[grrr9]

In Japan, both are spelled very similair. So its a pun. For best use, Pokey is him when he is young, and Porky is the Pig King.

[TheoriginalDRBOB]

pokey...the jap version is Porky

[MOUPIMOUPI]

Actually it's Po-ki-

[TheoriginalDRBOB]

oh my bad

[JonahTHD]

CrappyCaptureDevice, What SNES Emulator do you use? if you use the snes9x Emulator, all you have to do to get rid of the sound and dialoge problems is hit the sound tab, then settings, then uncheck echo effect and then your good.

[LeonardoTMNT393]

yuo are a genius, man!!

[supersam64]

I think the spire was moved 2 the back in ssbm so players don't get impaled on it lol

[bazzi15]

How does Porky know how to fly a helicopter? He's just a kid.

[JonahTHD]

Porky? Out of curiousity, wasn't his name Pokey? or is Porky his name in the Japanese Version?

[jake2beck]

Right on.

[GandWatch]

he don't knwo...that's why its scrapped on Deep Darkness...

[MOUPIMOUPI]

Pig's butt !

[CrappyCaptureDevice]

Actually, it's because Shegasato Itoi, the creator of Mother/Earthbound, named it after John Lennon's song "Mother." No shit, there's a video about it my favorites called something like "The origin of the Mother series' title".

[ZevSong]

I thought I read once that it came from the first game and how Gigas was raised by this human woman who was like his mom and she sang him the song that you use to defeat him in the end. I could be wrong though.

[supersam64]

ahhh if it isn't fourside definatly one of my top stages

[Theyaredead]

Maybe it has something to do with MotherEarth, MotherNature or something like that.

[Sparkxie]

I think they're called MOTHER 'cause In every Mother game, you save Earth..

[Theyaredead]

Or maybe it hs something to do with the word Mothership

[droginator]

It could be possible that the moon in the background is referring to the logo for the MOTHER series (The japanese name for Earthbound, for those who don't know). Just an idea.

[AnimeOtakuSan]

This is very well done! ^^ I find it hilarious when you get the characters to move across slippery surfaces like that UFO.

[kirbydedede2494]

there is a little door in the fourside stage near the helipad

[Theyaredead]

If you are going to do the same thing with Brawl (Which i hope you will), how are you going to do a History Behind of New Pork City?

[Anony1200]

There arn't any UFOs like that seen in the gane except the title,but there is an enemy named "L'il UFO' which is pretty mucjh a small and chrome version with eyes.

[megamannt125]

u can press L to talk to ppl and check thigns out instantly :P
