Losing a Gen 2 Pokémon stage was a big loss since we haven't been able to get any in future games. I think it may have changed to Bell Tower if they were to go through with adding it since it has way more significance to the Gen 2 games.
Yeah it's hard to say what they would have done!
I think Dummy is supposed to just be the black background on the victory screen since that’s the only other place in the game where the fighters’ models are used (minus the Adventure and All-Star Character Trophies)
Ah, that's a great point actually!
Perhaps “Pokemon Floats” wasn’t named after “parade floats” (noun), but the fact that _pokemon_ are literally _floating_ (verb).
Yeah! That could certainly be.

Now I want to see a mod that reimagines the TEST stage into a scrolling stage based on the Cafe Verona image in the background.
That would be awesome.
That's a fun idea!
Sprout Tower makes me wonder what it would be if making a moving stage like Pokefloats was easier to make than a (seemingly) stagnant stage.
Right? My guess is it was easier to use existing assets from Pokemon Stadium and do some basic animations than to create unique models, env., structured, etc from scratch.
Brother wake up! The new David V. Kimball video just released!
😀
Speaking of stages has anyone figured out a way to make side KOs less jarring with widescreen mods? Maybe by visualizing the blastzones or something?
@@equinox3861 what makes them jarring? Just because the camera and blast zones weren't intended to have a widescreen view?
That’s my boy Kirby!
:D
@@davidvkimball thank you!
Interesting how many stages there were
Indeed
This is amazing! 100% using the three cut stages. had to get the Sprout Tower stage via Beyond Melee and extracting said stage. as for Ice Top, loved how it's done:it doesn't move but makes sense due to software/hardware limitations, plus it has bothered me name that the Rainbow Cruise was inproperly named (Despite being younger than the OG Mario 64 on N64). Great video!
Thank you very much!
@@davidvkimball your welcome!
5:15 well that explains alot
Everyone David uploaded another banger!
Thank you kindly!
Awesome video!!
Thank you very much!
I'd always speculated that Corneria and Venom had their music tracks swapped, but I never imagined it was true! God bless!
Yeah it is true! Sakurai mentions it directly in a Smabura-Ken post. That's so cool that you speculated that in the past. God bless you also.
I would have adored a Sprout Tower stage. I'm very grateful for the Melee modding community making one that I could add to my custom Melee build.
I couldn't agree more!
really do like how this channel actually takes deep dives into melee as a game and its development history and whatnot, unlike most melee-based channels which focus on competitive stuff. while i love both equally, theres pretty much no other channel that takes a look at melee as a game in such an in depth way like this one, and its really great
Thank you very much. That's the niche I've carved for myself and I'm really happy to hear you calling it out.
The Sprout Tower one looks amazing
Right? It's one of my favorite Melee mods!
I'd love to see a deep dive into beta stages. Temple, Brinstar, Termina and Yoshi's Island seem to have interesting histories. Yoshi's island beta got a recreation in Beyond Melee, I hope if more people knew about the others that maybe someone would bring their beta elements back to life through modding one day.
@@TheBestBrawler I did touch on that a bit in my Elevated Documentary, not sure how much more in depth I could go based on the footage available. Would love someone to try to model or recreate it.
Oh hey. I made that Sprout Tower stage in the thumbnail. Neat
@@puffypuff3144 thank you for your work! Like I said in the video. Big fan of it.
wtf why did they cut them in half thats not nice :(
lol
Melee is being decompiled right? Do you think more proto discoveries will be unearthed this way? I remember reading on some fan wiki that supposedly there were remnants of Akaneia in the code and checking the wiki for years to see if anyone would add them to the article. That bit of information was later removed (I think) yet I couldn’t let go of the possibility that someone had seen hints of something they couldn’t extract or display in game. Could’ve been a lie of course. Regardless, part me holds onto a little hope that with Melee being completely decompiled we might see a bit of Akaneia, seeing any new development secrets should be fun.
@@protocetid that would be so cool!! Haven't heard that myself
@@davidvkimball Allow me to thank you for interacting with your viewers with a positivity and enthusiasm that feels authentic. It's a nice change from the usual pessimism or apathy you get from other users and creators, and the videos are well done too.
@@protocetid I very much appreciate that. I am very happy that a video viewer (like you) would take time out of their day to share something in response to something I made. Isn't that the point?
Press F for Sprout Tower
F
Fun Fact:Sprout Tower is a playable stage in a couple of Melee Mods
@@Flare8295 yeah!
If Melee was never rushed I'd wager most if not all of these would be in the game
@@Flare8295 agree
Why did they remove Sprout Tower…
That’s some Gen 2 representation that we heavily need in Smash lol
@@vaporcranberries *Sprout Tower, Bell Tower is a different location. And it would have been Tin Tower, the original name of Bell Tower before they changed it.
Are you sure Kingdom of Archanea would have been the same as Brawl's Castle Siege? Because it would probably have had a different structure.
It could have! Not 100% sure
@@davidvkimball Okay.
And I apologize if I've caused you any trouble on Discord. I was hacked over 6 months ago, and I still haven't been able to get my real account back.
@@musashix96 ah darn, I'm sorry to hear you still haven't regained access to the account yet.
Someone had a theory that the Dummy stage was used as the background for the Victory screen
That's a smart theory. Could probably be proven.
Well lucky me!
Enjoy the new video!
This is cool
Thanks!
Love the "God bless" at the end. Viva Christo Rey.
@@ThaPeej Christ is King!
Might edit this and put an ElevenLabs voice over it at some point
Huh?
@@davidvkimball Oh hi! Don’t mind me, just passing by.
