Best SSE cutscene moments?

[Boo Destroyer]

Which parts in the SSE's cutscenes did you like the most? Some of my top picks range from the following:

1. Lucas generally being timid and scared shitless of the enemies around him and the Pig King Statue. But when he bumps into Red later, he helps him out in becoming more brave as their adventure goes on. When faced with Galleom and almost meeting their doom with him, Red passes out somehow, so it's all on Lucas to save him and himself from this disaster, as a result of being brave around Red! My, how that says a lot about character development.

2. An interesting clash between two personalities, Captain Falcon and Captain Olimar; captain meets captain. Falcon with his psychedelic gung-ho superhero image and the meek Olimar. And when Falcon decides to go after the enemies like it's nothing, Olimar is not liking that at all. Contrast not only in appearance, but nature! I like that!

3. When Tabuu unleashes his ultimate attack on everyone, rendering them all useless, who's gonna save us all now? Just WHO? Luigi, Ness, and King Dedede. These uncanny three. Whodathunkit now?

There are others too, but I can't think of those at the moment. These are just some of the moments that really reached out to me above all else.

Could have had more "alternate choice" parts, but the three that were there barely had any effect on anything. (I had to play the whole thing over just to see the OTHER useless character make herself extra useless? GEE THANKS FOR THAT PARTICULAR EXTRA)

Lucas summoning the courage to save his pal Red. That was an incredible moment.

It was hilarious when Diddy Kong tried to get help from Fox and then from Falco by dragging them along.

Lucario and Meta Knight fighting and then teaming up was one of the coolest moments. That was a very well chosen partnership IMO.

Three greatest I'd say are Diddy dragging Falco off, the beginning of the Diddy Kong arc, and where we meet Dedede and Luigi.

1. Diddy and DK... Seeing them fight side by side is one thing, but when they are together we get a glimpse of their friendship, which we haven't really seen since the ending credits of DKC. When DK gets kidnapped, Diddy does a great job providing comic relief.

2. King Dedede... Nearly every scene with him is excellent. They stick with him performing villainous deeds, which turn out to actually be for the good of everyone. And the fact he's overjoyed to be reunited with Kirby just underlines his misunderstood hero status. And he flicks Bowser in the nose. Nice!

3. Wario... He jerks around, pulls stupid faces, doesn't listen to anyone else... he's basically just a fantastic version of Wario.

4. The epic battle with the Subspace Gun... It's almost a pointless scene, but it's a huge moment before the big finale. The Halberd is destroyed, and all the other characters head out on their ships. And Olimar's silly little rocket chugs along behind.

Captain Falcon PAWWWWNNCHing giant ROB.

Also, when Lucario uses his aura to sense Snake inside his cardboard box, he lifts it up and Snake's trademark exclamation mark appears above his head.

Definitely the scene with Captain Falcon meeting Captain Olimar... the whole peaceful scene, the useless of the Pikmin and then Falcon coming charging in at high speed in the most flashy way possible.

Likely also the scene with the subspace ship, the scenes before the bosses, and arguably the whole scene where Tabuu defeats the entire cast.

I think the excellent taking down of the Subspace Gun was my favorite, mainly because of all of the excellent spaceship cameos it made. Samus, starship, Kirby on the Dragoon, Olimar's Dolphin, Arwings, and the Falcon Flier...great stuff. I think that's when The SSE was at its best - letting these awesome multi-universe moments occur naturally. Wish the game itself had a few more.

Excellent finding, 8bit.

Well, I guess I like the gunship battle the best. Next would be Diddy recruiting Fox and Falco.

It's too bad that the gunship thing was nothing but for show. Becuase, you know, that ship is probably going to be an excellent stage if used.

Off topic here, but one thing I don't like about this game is that it is difficult to keep track with everything. My second favourite franchise of all time, Fire Emblem, is known for some story inconsistancies and difficulty to trace individual characters at times. Yet, Subspace managed to be far worse than that, even with a far lower number of characters.
