That's an excellent point. I'll be screwed because I peruse about ten vg news sites everday. Grr. I think I'll have to be the uber-nerd and take a few days off of work for it . . .

Eat something bad? :erm:

When I heard the news though about it containing online play, though some complained about the way how the system worked, I think it's still better than nothing.

Yeah, someone said that, and I was surprised that there were already 19 characters , I thought those were starting characters so I imagined there would be too many secret ones, and then came Snake and ruined my theory :P since he is supposed to be secret XD

So now I think the secret ones will be (just like Acer posted) Ike, Pokemon Trainer ,Diddy,and Snake as well as Jigglypuff and Luigi.

Sakurai probably won't even bother telling us which ones are secret, as to make up for their surprise exposure.

Today's update confirms trophies once more.

The screen's a bit more organized and you can freely arrange them. Other than that, nothing new.

At least they proved me wrong.

The what with the what now? :confused:

Oh HELL YES.

Just when you thought it was safe to reset your game....

We've had some awesome updates, but this is the first one to really leave me speechless....

LOL. I like how nobody gives a shit about Diddy's Final Smash.

I guess maybe because it's just a powerful combination of his RocketBarrel Boost and Peanut Popguns and nothing really "original"?

You know, when I first looked at this Mr. Resetti update, I was afraid that when he appears, it will stop all of the action to listen to his lecture. But after looking at it awhile, it appears as if the fighting continues while he lectures in the background...

And then it appears that what he does is put characters to sleep at the end of his lecture. Maybe all of the characters except the one that didn't throw the assist trophy?

Didn't someone say they wanted this in smash?

Oh and the sleep thing is nice too.

I sense a Jigglypuff advantage here...

God hope Jigglypuff retuns. :|

I didn't like it when someone that was good with her did the rest move. :><:

:)

I managed to kill a couple of my friends that way, and it was the first strike on them also. <.<

Either way, she's a good veteran who deserves to return.

Yea when she was first put in, people thought she was a joke character.....
...I've seen people kick so much ass using her. XD

The thing about Jigglypuff is that people think that it's a joke character. THAT's the advantage to rest. People don't realize that it's pretty much the strongest move in the game.

Next to Yoshi's down+A attack if it fully hits. <_<

AHHHHH RESETTI! YES!
Game of the year confirmed.

Pokemon Trainer's FINAL SMASH: ASS KICKIN' DELUXE

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/chara..._070927c-l.jpg

Okay, so it's not really ass kickin' deluxe but Triple Finish. I get that feeling that they can't move once they touch the smash ball...

I wonder if they don't flinch while doing this, since there was no mention of invincibility whatsoever. Leaving that out would make this worthless, since someone could wind up behind you and stop it.

I think they will, I mean, maybe they will have a cooldown after using those powers, and after that, the trainer has to call two Pokemon, leaving one "orderless" for few seconds.　

Why do I want to hug Sakurai so badly?

I've decided that when I play online, and someone uses Diddy, I will soley concentrate on them, relentlessly pursuing them across the arena until the inevitably fall. It's my entire gameplan. Fuck Diddy Kong.

*Note to self: Don't play as Diddy Kong online*

lol the super effective was a wonderful touch. I hope they do something like that when you get knocked out like Pokemon Trainer fainted! or for your opponent if they get knocked out by the final smash.

After the Final Smash is done, the other two could simply be called back automatically, leaving you with the one that grabbed it.

Something I've been wondering though, if Kirby eats the pokemon, he'll gain their moves, no? I was sort of imagining him using some weird Kirby-imitations of the pokemon while he has some trainer clothes on.
