Super Smash Bros. DS Concept - Mario Walking and Running Animations!

[@Super64Legend]

Hold up... let him cook 🔥🔥🔥

[@RTD_Dev]

I just discovered this channel a while back. It needs a _lot_ more attention, seriously 🙏

[@jakestomp7887]

I really hope this will turn into a full Nintendo DS port someday, it's literally my childhood dream. Edit: Never mind, i learned that this person working on all these characters is only just an concept art meaning it will never be ported as a full Super Smash Bros for the Nintendo DS. :[

[@marlongarrix8478]

Me too I always wanted to play smash on my ds

[@Lowemein]

omg this model is adorable. it’s like a cute chibi mario mixed with brawl mario, which is perfect for the ds and wii era

[@retromesh]

:D

[@Sinistar1983]

The only suggestion I could think of is when he's walking/running there, which needs to be a bit of shoulder twisting. This allows for a more organic movement. The same with the pelvis as well as humans will twist their bodies to get that extra bit of running speed. Otherwise, they look really good. And i absolutely love the texture work you've done

[@retromesh]

Thank you Sinistar! You are very correct on your point about organic movements! I won't lie, these clips were a little rushed, so I didn't work on refining movement towards the front and back axis, especially for the shoulder and pelvis bones. I will refine them as time goes on, and possibly during the stream if there is time at the end! Thanks again and expect more good things!

[@lancer6491]

This while series is really high quality stuff! I really hope you get the recognition you deserve, you capture the look and soul of ds graphics perfectly!

[@retromesh]

Thanks Lancer! I'll keep working at it, improving it, and furthering it for as long as I can! :D

[@Yackerw]

This stuff is looking real good! Keep at it, this modelling and texturing is amazing for models falling within the DS' limitations!

[@retromesh]

Thanks again Yacker! :D

[@fishdubx]

You captured the DS feel perfectly!

[@brannycedeno6823]

Wow. Even the long forgotten character files theme from SSB64 was used.

[@retromesh]

Glad that you recognized it :D

That will be Sonic's

[@WiiFan-1300]

This may take 30 so years but idc atp. AMAZING stuff!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@retromesh]

Eventually I'd like to work with a small team. That will ease and speed up the workload by a whole lot.

[@newchallengers9420]

I'm interested. I'd help for free

[@Userbouy]

Smooth animation, keep it up🎉

[@Neutrico88]

Very Good! I i've seen someone here on the comments saying if this would become a game, and it gave me an idea to say something that's almost true: games are not made by solo devs majority of the time, so if you think about making an actual game, you can simply unite with someone, that's why its rare to see successful solo-dev games even indies, most of the time is teams, and technaly this is good Sorry for my English, not using google translator anymore cuz I'm using futo keyboard

[@retromesh]

It' all good! Yeah there is no way that anyone would ever be able to do something of this scale on their own! Though this is just a concept for now, I would like to get some help eventually, as this project grows more popular. For the time being and forseeable future, I would like to handle it on my own. Thank you for the comment, I appreciate it! Expect more great content!

[@etchatails]

Animation look great so far!!

[@retromesh]

Thanks Etch!

[@pasta_boi8266]

Hell yeah I love stuff like this

[@six_buck_dlc]

now we’re cookin

[@KainTheKain]

“But will it run on real hardware?”

[@jmalicthehedgehog-canaldem3476]

Yep, this should be Mario in a Super Smash Bros for NDS (in 3d).

[@retromesh]

:D

[@ElianRandomWorks]

I WANT TO SEE YOSHI SO MUCH AAAAAA (Yoshi's my main LOL)

[@retromesh]

Ngl, he looks like he'll be fun to animate.

this reminds me of the spongebob walk cycles scene

[@bean-eater28]

Starfy would be a cool DS exclusive character😊😊😊

[@vittosphonecollection57289]

The running one is so good! (The walking one is still cool, don't get me wrong!)

[@anaozin.]

Cant wait for Sonic

[@retromesh]

I can't wait to get to animate Sonic omgggg

[@Shonin23]

@@retromesh For Sonic I literally have only 1 suggestion. Make his idle animation the one from Rush

[@retromesh]

This game would have technically come out a little bit before Rush. BUT, there will be some "Rush" integrations to Sonic. Can't say in what way :)

[@anaozin.]

@Da-thingy i was gonna say something like that, but the Sonic from the Smash Remix is good too

Looks just like in smash bros! Good job!

[@JohannAdriano2021]

Don't worry, that's just a concept

[@retromesh]

:DDDDDD

[@Shayne007]

The animations are really nice 😊

[@CesarTorres61296]

I have a question. How many characters will be in Smash DS? Will there be any new ones? Or will it just be the roster from Melee or 64?

[@QuarrelInsect]

My guess is it'll be some sort of middle ground between Melee and Brawl, although I'm personally hoping for one or two one time additions (sort of like what Pichu was before Ultimate's "Everyone is here")

[@retromesh]

The Gentleman who answered had the right guess. There are 30 characters planned out for the time being, and yes there will be some original characters! I would like to extend the roster if everything goes well, but only time will tell. Stay tuned!

[@JadeiteMcSwag]

powerful

[@Andy23497]

look at him go

[@pokeminion64]

Niceeee, animation is looking good so far! 👌

[@dakotadean1273]

this is very good!

[@Robinnezz_Ofc]

You should use the model of Mario Hoops 3 on 3 but atleast you did a good model (the model of mario hoops 3 on 3 is like the model that has more polygons in what i know)

[@La_seta_miedica]

it looks nice ;]

[@Robinnezz_Ofc]

You should do others mario games that didnt make to the ds

[@TmbAnimates]

I think the animation should be more clear and where each body part is, but as this is a fighting game I don’t think it will be an issue.

[@retromesh]

For sure! I want these to look prestige regardless of the angle! So I will be refining them as time goes on!

[@Plusmax78]

WHERE IS BRO GOING

[@JoseArmandoSaint-HilaireAcosta]

hey hello,i am a animator with 3 years of experience with blender,i think this animations look really cool,and i am interesting in giving you a hand in this project

It looks Great! Also, is there a project you are doing this for?

Just a personal project! I'm mostly glad that people seem to like this a lot and that's been giving me motivation to continue! Also, I'm enjoying this a whole lot! Look forward to more!

[@RoninSun47]

@@retromesh I really loved your Pikmin videos, do you think you might make more?

[@retromesh]

Not in the plans for now. There will be Pikmin related content in this game though.

[@RoninSun47]

@@retromesh Ok, thanks!

[@newchallengers9420]

Bro just release an early version with 1 character and expand from there. Everyone just fights as Mario, for example, on a single, simple stage (FD? Or green line as a stage?)

[@retromesh]

Can't take any risks, sorry! I really am.

[@FalseXII]

Nice. :D what are you using to animate these?

[@retromesh]

Everything's done on Blender!

[@Somcad]

Hey man I would love to see this as an actual game so I’m wondering, are you actually working on a smash DS game or is this all for show?

[@retromesh]

All for show for now. Sorry about that! However, I would like to get this running on a game engine someday, just for people to test out and play around with. It wouldn't be the whole game though! I hope you're still interested in the project!

[@Somcad]

@@retromesh aw that’s a shame, hopefully someone who knows how to do those type of things contacts you wanting to help make an actual game if you’d even be into it ofc. And yeah the project is interesting since I do also love the lower polygon sort of style haha

[@retromesh]

Me too! I'm doing this mostly for the look but it's also a giant concept!

[@stickynoob]

Are you making a game out of this?

[@retromesh]

Just a concept for now, and likely for a good long time!

[@adora_was_taken]

wait actually this has me thinking a bit. how would sprinting work on a handheld with no analog input? would you have to hold down a button? also how would nintendo have used the touchscreen gimmick??

[@retromesh]

Holding the D-Pad Left/Right would initiate the walk action. Double tapping the D-Pad in quick succession would initiate sprint. I will talk more in-depth about the control scheme in another video, which will also address touchscreen integration. Look forward to it :D

[@adora_was_taken]

@@retromesh i will :D

Where is he going

[@retromesh]

He's walking off the stage! :D

[@mordeymay3739]

Will this run on an actual DS?

I'll try to be as realistic as possible, but if not, I won't stress about it.

[@Marcos_Pictures]

Can you make Ness next in ur smash bros ds series

[@retromesh]

Pikachu's video is this week, then Sonic's. I've planned out the order of every character, but don't worry, they will all come, in time. Stay tuned.

[@Marcos_Pictures]

@@retromesh Yay

[@iLgaming334]

are all of your planned additions going to be existing smash bros characters or will you throw in one or two characters that never got the playable treatment?

[@iLgaming334]

You don't have to answer in case you wish to keep up a sense of suspense

[@retromesh]

No worries! Yes, there will be some original characters who've never been in a Smash Game before! Can't say who or how many but hopefully you will like them :D Stay tuned!
