Okay thanks, where would you go to find the brawl vault?

Many of the songs there are able to be previewed through Youtube videos. Just go to the video itself on Youtube and use a youtube-to-mp3 converter to get the songs that way. Then you need to convert the mp3's into oog files if I'm not mistaken, which can be done with audacity easily.

I'm still new here and to how this community functions so I apologize in advance if I'm potentially out of line with my post here.
Suggestions I've come up with after playing for a few nights now:
o Character Records: An optional menu where you can view and track how many wins-losses-sudden deaths-etc. you have with each Character at the present time. It could just be a simple feature to share with friends or whatnot. Maybe a tracker of how many KOs, falls, Smashes, etc. you've performed with each Character as well.
o Spawn Points upon being KO'd. I've noticed that everybody respawns in the same spot after being KO'd which can lead to some havoc. Perhaps setting 4 spawn points and upon KO randomizing which one of the 4 spawn points your Character will return to the Stage at?
o More Secrets/Exclusive unlock conditions for certain Characters. I felt it was far, far too easy to get the 4 Unlockable Characters to the point where it was actually kind of boring. It didn't have that sense of mystery and creativity behind unlocking them as the Smash games had. I know most just want to unlock things right away, but I think making one or two Characters only unlockable upon completing X amounts of... say... Break The Targets or Board The Platforms might add some of that feel back in a small dose.
o On topic of the mini-games. Race To The Finish. That was one of my favorites and was hoping it'd be in Crusade. It would be a simple enough way for newcomers to understand the speed of each Character one by one (maybe throw in obstacles that need to be hit to "tutorialize" their movesets too).
Again, I apologize if these have already been brought up and I'm sure after the history of this game they have at some point multiple times. I just want to try and dive head first into Crusade's community and whatnot and feel out what's "right" and "wrong" in terms of idea inputting and the like.

These are all good suggestions, I wouldn't mind having them in myself. The only problem with the unlock methods is that we're still in beta versions right now and there aren't really any mode to unlock stuff in. I don't know what the devs plan to do about unlock methods once the game is complete in several years from now, but right now there isn't much we can do.

At the very least we'll probably have challenger approaching matches to make unlocking slightly more interesting for 0.9.

What about:
o Break The Targets With X Amount Of Characters. o Board The Platforms With X Amount Of Characters. o Finish Classic With XX:XX As Your Time. o Defeat Team X In Classic In Under XX:XX Amount Of Time.
I mean those could be used as simple unlock solutions right now.

That could work, though I'm really not the one to talk to. Dettadeus and Jaklub are the ones who have the most influence on the game coding-wise, so these unlock methods would be up to them.

I was just playing the game and I want to know something about Mach Rider. When is the proper time to do his down special during matches I cannot seem to get it right. Maybe this needs to be improved in the next demo so it can be more useful.

Use it in the air, especially while retreating. It can be very difficult to approach against that way. It's primary function is defensive rather than offensive, however it does have one good offensive use; edgeguarding. Lots of recovery moves can get outranged by this move.

Maybe you could possibly add Smash Balls?
I prefer the current method of utilizing Final Smashes, however, so the way they would work would be a bit different that in Brawl.
Whenever a player destroys a Smash Ball, they become cloaked in the typical rainbow energy flames, but the empty remainder of their Final Smash gauge also becomes filled with "bonus energy", artificially refilling their Final Smash gauge. When the player in possession of a Smash Ball is hit enough times, the Smash Ball breaks free of the player and floats around like normal. When the player loses said Smash Ball, they also lose the "bonus energy" that they obtained earlier. This would simulate how a player would lose their Smash Ball when attacked in Brawl, but tweaks it to better fit Crusade's Final Smash system. The "bonus energy" could be colored blue or something similar to differentiate between the Final Smash gauge's actual progress and the "bonus energy" obtained from the Smash Ball.
Or if this is too complicated to code, then Smash Balls could simply fill the Final Smash gauge to maximum capacity. Either/or.

Honestly, at least take it into consideration or give some relevant feedback before you ridicule me! It'd be an optional item for those used to Brawl's system anyway, not a complete gameplay overhaul!

Blue made an oath to himself that he wouldn't speak or something. He thinks that every time he speaks, something screws up (which brings into question why he is still around posting dots).

It wasn't iirc. It's just that no one made it so far, and there's no general consensus on an item roster yet.

There should be an option to select a Break the Targets/Board the Platforms stage (like Brawl), and not assign one of them to X character. It feels very akward, specially when playing as certain characters.

I think what Blue wants to say is that if a Smash Ball exists, it should only fill up 50% of the gauge, which I think is actually a pretty decent idea.
Either that, or Smash Balls only exist when all characters are above 50% damage? That second one doesn't make sense.
Anyway, the current BtT/BtP system is just a tad bit shitey, and will likely be overhauled in the far future (but the far future; it's not very high in priority). So for you guys who want to reform this game mode, how many different stages for each mode would you like to see? I think the five in Brawl was a bit too few, but we don't want too many either.

Why not have seven of each, each with their own sort of theme and music?
