Talk:Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

The August 8 Direct confirmed that there will be 25 Metroid music tracks in the game. Of these, the following have confirmed:
 * Brinstar (Melee) (confirmed through August 8 Direct "Stage Morph" segment)
 * Brinstar Depths (Ultimate version, confirmed through the website)
 * Vs. Ridley (Brawl version, confirmed through gameplay footage of Frigate Orpheon at invitational tournmanets)
 * Metroid Prime: Opening/Menu (confirmed through August 8 Direct "My Music" segment)
 * Vs. Parasite Queen (Ultimate version, confirmed through August 8 Direct "My Music" segment)
 * Vs. Meta Ridley (confirmed through August 8 Direct "My Music" segment)
 * Multiplayer (Metroid Prime 2: Echoes) (confirmed through August 8 Direct "My Music" segment)
 * Psycho Bits (confirmed through August 8 Direct "My Music" segment)
 * Lockdown Battle Theme (confirmed through August 8 Direct "My Music" segment)
 * The Burning Lava Fish (confirmed through August 8 Direct "My Music" segment)
 * Nemesis Ridley (confirmed through August 8 Direct "My Music" segment)
 * Splash Screen (confirmed through August 8 Direct "My Music" segment)
 * Area 1 - 5 Torrid Zone (confirmed through August 8 Direct "My Music" segment)

The following have been all but outright confirmed:
 * Theme of Samus Aran, Space Warrior (heard in Zero Suit Samus's character video)
 * Unnamed "Vs. Ridley" remix (Ultimate version, heard in Ridley's character video)

The following have not been confirmed:
 * Planet Zebes Stage
 * Brinstar Depths (Melee)
 * Main Theme (Metroid)
 * Ending (Metroid)
 * Norfair
 * Vs. Parasite Queen (Prime version)
 * Sector 1
 * Title (Metroid)
 * Escape

Tracks seem to be listed in "My Music" in order of debut game. From this, we can infer the following:
 * No songs at all from Metroid: Zero Mission, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and Metroid Prime Trilogy
 * No new songs from Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Metroid Prime Hunters, and Metroid: Other M
 * Metroid Prime will feature one new remix (Vs. Parasite Queen), but no new songs; the song selection is the same here as it was in Brawl ten years ago
 * Vs. Parasite Queen (Prime version) is most likely cut from Ultimate
 * Splash Screen will be the only song from Metroid Prime: Federation Force
 * Songs 24 and 25 are most likely from Metroid: Samus Returns, since they are listed after Torrid Zone and Samus Returns is the latest Metroid game

A few additional notes for consideration:
 * If we add up all named Metroid songs from the Super Smash Bros. series, we get exactly 23
 * The same is true if we subtract one for Vs. Parasite Queen (Prime version) and add one for the currently-unnamed Vs. Ridley remix
 * If Vs. Parasite Queen is the only song cut from Ultimate and the new Vs. Ridley is a full song, then the new remixes of Brinstar Depths and Vs. Ridley may be the only new remixes from pre-Prime games
 * If Vs. Parasite Queen is the only song cut from Ultimate, then this means that Planet Zebes Stage will return to the soundtrack for the first time since the original Super Smash Bros. game!
 * I am not factoring Warning Siren or Samus's Victory into these calculations
 * It still hasn't been confirmed that the new Vs. Ridley remix is a full song; it may be part of a medley or a brief section of another remix, similar to the Brinstar theme's inclusion in the Escape remix
 * The Burning Lava Fish is 1:29 in the Ultimate sound test, while it's 1:34 in the Wii U sound test; this is probably not significant (since the song loops at about 1:20), but it might possibly suggest that this is a new remix
 * For comparison: Vs. Meta Ridley, Multiplayer, and Nemesis Ridley are all the same lengths in Wii U and Ultimate (I haven't unlocked Psycho Bits or Lockdown yet, so I can't compare them), so it's likely that none of them are new remixes
 * Based upon its name and length, Splash Screen is most likely the title screen theme
 * Based upon its name and length, Torrid Zone is almost definitely Magmoor Caverns
