[Wii] Super Smash Bros. Brawl

February 10th? Fucking hell.

With that said, tonight's update is about Snapshots. Yeah. Also, there will be a playable version at the E for All convention, with limited character selection (I'd really like to see a video with a fight between Lucas and Snake.).

About Snapshots though, you can take them while the game is paused now, so you can actually have 4 people fight at the same time without on controller being for the camera. You can also save the snapshots to the Wii (obviously) or an SD Card if you've got one.

You can also send snapshots to people that you've registered as friends for Nintendo WFC play.

Of course, there's still stuff that needs to be kept secret, a feature that is still in development.



Apparently, he apologizes in advance if that feature is dropped.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Does anyone beside me want to hear a little about some of the old characters? Newcomers are almost outnumbering Veterans in terms of announcements, and I'd like to see announcements for Ness and Captain Falcon sometime soon.

Also, got my Gamecube back, so I'll be playing Melee for a while. xD

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Not only that, but the Snowman theme from Mother? Wow. (Thinking about it though, why the hell would a place made of fearsome ruins have the Snowman theme? Guessing either for laughs, or a small message to EarthBound fans, whatever you want it to be.)

Also, being able to submit and recieve home-made maps will be wicked. Awesome fucking update.

Also pre-ordered my copy of SSBB finally. =D

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

There are moving platforms. I saw them in this picture before, under Features. If you're talking about something that I missed, however, then sorry. >_<



There will also be spikes, which I'll be using to annoy the hell out of my friends in maps. xD

I was speaking idiomatically.

On-screen appearances are today's update.


That's one crazy Mr. Saturn table Lucas has there.


And the Ice Climbers have the condor for a neat entrance too.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I think Ness had PK Rockin and PK Flash for Offense, and Hypnosis and Paralysis for Assists. He also had Shield β, which could've been used like Marth's Counter move, but he'd still have to take a little damage for it. A small amount at least.

And points for thinking of PK Freeze as a move for Lucas, which I thought might happen before, but I was honestly hoping for Ness to be given his Assist powers (Along with PK Flash, and PK Rockin as a Final Smash) to at least make it possible for them to both be in it, but I guess they didn't consider that.

Lucas: Wave of the future. xD

Edit: Alright, anyone else thinking that Flint, Kumatora, or

Spoiler:

The Masked Man

are easy possibilities now? I think with the cut of Ness, there's bound to be at least another Mother character now.

FELIPE NO

Metroid's Norfair posted. The lava will rise, along with a lava wave, that comes with only one safe area, a capsule with timed hatches. It also flows on the sides, burning players.


The level itself.


The lava flow on the side.


A lava wave coming to own everyone.


The only means of protection from the wave...


...and a screwed Yoshi, Wario and Diddy Kong.

Edit: Forgot to add, the wave can be jumped over if you gain enough height.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

It can be knocked out of you before you use it (in Smash Ball form), but I doubt when they're in the middle of their Final Smash.

Anyways, yeah, Smash Ball, attack it repeatedly to get it. It's enabled by pressing the B button (varies with each Final Smash), and if you're hit before using it, it flies out of you and probably gets caught by someone else. Also, there's a Pity Final Smash when the losing player is down by a large amount of lives/KOs, and when revived, they'll have a Final Smash ready to use. Also, it's an item, so shut it off if you want to.

Also, music (Tunnel Scene) from a Japan-only game called "X".

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Also going to quote part of the update:

Quote:

And there is one more important thing...

When you have a battle mode that runs online like Basic Brawl, the problem of what to do with hidden characters arises. If one of your opponents chooses a character you haven’t unlocked yet, it will be spoiled for you immediately.

But even without this mode, given the proliferation of the Internet these days, the existence of hidden characters is going to get exposed anyway.

So, this time I’m moving in the direction of not being too hung up on hidden characters.

You can earn most characters by playing through Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary. For those of you who look forward to those encounters, I recommend you clear this mode before playing Basic Brawl.

And as the case has always been, I’ve made it so you can play the characters you unlock in battles.

Easy enough. I haven't even connected the Wii to the internet yet, and I doubt I will anytime soon, plus I think people will play Subspace Emissary before even going for online battles.

Also, could this count as confirmation of all characters announced so far being starter characters rather than unlockables? (I think I saw previous posts saying that some of the characters would be unlockables.)

Just... two... more... months...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The Mario Circuit finally posted. (Eh, at least that's out of the way.)

Spoiler:

Looks pretty cool though.

I would've actually played Coin Battle a lot if we could've chosen to have an amount of money to win (Such as first to 500 coins wins, etc.). Maybe they'll have that as an option for Brawl.

The Co-op Events are looking pretty cool. =D

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Awesome to see another Mother update. xD Liking that music.

The Frigate Orpheon looks awesome, too. =D

Definitely agreed there. (And thanks for letting me post the pics. =D)

The only hats not included were Lucas (would have been hilarious to see that hairdo. xD), Sonic, Ike, Charizard, Bulbasaur and the Ice Climbers. (If I'm wrong, please correct me.)

FELIPE NO

A Subspace Emissary Movie was posted today. Shows off everyone fighting.

Eh, at least I got to find out what Lucas' Side Smash was (it's a stick.). xD

Edit: It at least looks like Lucas smashes with a stick... (Kind of hard to tell though. -_- Could anyone try to get a good pic, please?)

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Kind of what I expected (and dreaded.). -_-

At least my thoughts have pretty much been confirmed.

Most amazing jew boots

Edit: Damn, beaten. xD

Alternate costumes. Wicked.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

This is a possible sign that some characters have multiple looks other than just a palette swap. Hopeful~

So Dr. Mario might be an alternate costume for Mario...

This is pretty damn cool. =D

Well, I just said it because I read these two things in the update:

"Choose him just like you would any of the other characters. This outfit appears after the six standard color variations."

"What’s more, this version has its own color variations. What a bonus."

So I just assumed that Dr. Mario might be a possibility, that's all.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

CHALLENGER APPROACHING!

Captain Olimar.


(Zeta's got some pics of Olimar fighting below)

Pretty damn awesome.

Brawl's Update: Challenges

"Trophies, stickers, music...

Super Smash Bros. Brawl certainly has its share of "rewards" for you to collect. Among them all are several for which I’ve set certain appearance conditions.

So, to help you manage these performance-based rewards, I’ve created the Challenges mode. This mode gives you hints about what you need to do to unlock these items!


This is the Challenges screen.

It’s totally empty. I’d say that if anyone saw this empty screen in-game, it would be an extremely rare occurrence.

Each one of these windows has some condition or another that will unlock it.

When you meet a set of conditions while playing through the game, that window will automatically break open.


KSSSSHHH! Then you get what’s inside!

If there’s a CD inside, you can listen to that CD on the spot.


Hmmm... Nice.

When a window breaks, you see a red silhouette of the windows on either side. When you align the cursor with these windows, you can see the conditions for breaking them open, too.


As you can see...

Use this to take on challenge after challenge so you can earn more, more, MORE prizes! It’s much easier to get excited about it when you know what you have to do.

By the way, you can use as many Golden Hammers as there are down below.


Even windows that aren’t open...


Can be broken open with a little force!

But use the hammers at your own discretion. Once used, a hammer will never return. You’ll want to save them for challenges you just can’t seem to overcome.

Oh, but you should also know that there are some windows even a trusty Golden Hammer won’t break.

And be careful of friends who might egg you on. I mean, imagine you have a hammer, some pristine glass, and a friend who just keeps telling you to break the glass...

It makes you want to break it, huh?"

Pretty sweet update. xD

FELIPE NO

Beaten to it. xD

Looks very good, and the numbered pellets and onions sound great.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Honestly, I was expecting a Captain Falcon update along with the delay announcement. That would've been cool.

Either way, I could care less right now. I've got the pre-order and 60$ stored away for the purchase, now all I have to do is wait for the day it's released, and until then, I'll play through some awesome SNES RPGs to pass the time: EarthBound, FF4-6, Chrono Trigger, Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma. If you've got any other awesome RPG suggestions (Or awesome SNES games in general), I'd love to hear them. =P

Jam it back in, in the dark.

To no surprise, today's update is Sheik.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
