[Wii] Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Refreshing the smash bros page at 5:05pm AEST... and HOLY SHIT

GO GUYS NOW!!! GO! It's UP!

Double Post: A few new screens, and some more information, but nothing ultra-mind-blowing yet. BUT STILL!
Triple Post: Actually, my bad. Some good information to be found here (musicians, a stage and weekly updates etc.)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I don't think they'll be keeping Roy or Marth. Perhaps they'll be replaced with newer Fire Emblem characters such as Ike.

Strangely enough, I didn't play on Melee's Battlefield all that much. Here's hoping for a Final Destination stage.

How ya doing, buddy?

I also hope they don't axe Mr. Game & Watch, cause he was a riot to play with and added a unique feel o the characters. But from the rumours and "Lost"-like whispers going around on the internet, it looks like he might get the chop. Ice Climbers and Young Link were rumoured to be cut out too.

But whatever. The site did say there'll be daily weekday updates, did it not? We might get some new info in around 1 and a 1/2 hours from this post, presuming it updates the same time the site opened yesterday.

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

The info today was pretty interesting. Of course we all saw it from the E3 trailer, but it's nice to get a confirmation. Mario Shinku-Hadoken!!!

Today's info might answer the Samus debacle being discussed here: Perhaps once you get the Smash Ball you do a mega-blast, while at the same time shedding your armour (also seen in the E3 trailer)

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

Today's update was the best for the week. How would they be able to handle wiimote sideways though?

My guess is:
-1 = special
-2 = normal
-B = shield
-B+2 = grab

-Jump/D/L/R = Dpad
-Double L/R = Smash

The other control options seem awesome. Can't wait to try out the nun-chuck and wiimote combo, although I might go back to the GCN control for competitions.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'm liking the customized button mapping. Using the Wiimote sideways is starting to seem okay, and customization would most likely give greater flexibility to all control styles, not to mention balance.

This week has been pretty good when comes to updates. Hope they at least pull a few more uber-cool bits of info before the inevitable E3 trailer.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Ahhh ^_^... I love it when I predict things right.

In this case though, I wish I was wrong. I would be so damn annoying having to change via a Final Smash. Why couldn't it just be a moveset ala Zelda/Sheik?

So now that we know how Samus becomes Zero Suit, how would Zero Suit turn back to normal Samus...?

FELIPE NO

I don't know much about Yoshi, but from what I've heard people consider him one of the better characters to use. As for me personally, I thought he sucked. However, Yoshi's reworked Up+B move might change this perception for me...

Did Sakurai mention that Brawl would see broken characters getting a makeover, or was that another game?

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

Considering the fact that myself and everyone I played against only battled in the flat and non-obstructive stages (Both Zelda stages, Battlefield and Final Destination), the stages shown so far leads me to believe that I'll be playing on more arenas than Melee. I like it so far.

Not only that, the distractions this time around don't seem bothersome. Hardly anyone played the Metroid Kraid stage and the Ice Climbers stage cause there wasn't enough fighting and the emphasis was too much on surviving.

I'm not saying they should be phased out, cause they added variety to the game (hello DK stage!) but maybe half for each type (what, 14-15 each type of stage?).

How ya doing, buddy?

When I think back to when they revealed Assist Trophies and that line "Some characters that didn't quite make it can still be summoned using Assist Trophies", I can't help but feel disappointed! Some of the characters shown for Assist Trophies had awesome potential. Samurai Goroh (as Falcon's rival), Dr. Wright from SimCity and now Knuckle Joe. SuX0rZ!!!

This week was, in general, pretty average. Maybe it's a trade off for last Friday's intriguing update.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I think I called Ike either in an earlier page, but yeah he seems like a great addition to the cast. My theory suggests that Ike, being the most recent Fire Emblem character, is going to replace Roy from SSBM, whereas Marth will most likely be replaced by a NES/SNES Fire Emblem lead. Good theory?

As for the stage, I wonder what the underground level is? I wonder if it'll cycle itself, or just stay underground after the sequence finishes...

I'm hoping for another cool announcement but then again, getting info on a new character is a lot already.

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

Did the new update just confirm the existence of Ridley and Peach? Elsewhere, there's rumors that a certain Nintendo producer accidentally confirming two more characters (for those that don't mind spoilers, check gonintendo.com)!

This new adventure mode looks sweet as. A mode that :

Holy crap.

Edit: Oh wait, the "Ridley" I was talking about seems like a flying ship instead. Uh well.
Triple Post: shadowlink56, sorry ^_^!
Quaddie: Is that Palutena (Kid Icarus)???

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

Apparently

Spoiler:

http://gonintendo.com/?p=22340#comments... Sheik and Ganondorf?

Of course, although these people may have been mentioned, they might just end up Assist Trophies or something. Take with a grain of salt.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Guess everyone didn't care for today's update:

Pit's Final Smash

Goddess Palutena! I beseech you!

Now that’s what I call a deity. Look how big she is!

Well, I guess technically that’s not her actual size. She just chose to manifest herself as something that big.


Here come the flying Centurions...


Now, attack!

They divebomb at incredible speeds!

It’s very difficult to dodge a charge of Centurions, splitting the sky like a storm.

Then again, the Centurions scatter after they clash. They each make one attack and then fall in battle.


Their sacrifices are so...so moving...

Pit's inclusion was crowd-pleasing, but I've been underwhelmed each time some from Kid Icarus popped up. Yesterday's Pit theme was quite poor and his final smash seems similar to the Unown's attack in Melee. The stage was so-so.

Regardless, I'll be reserving judgement until the game comes out (of course).

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Er... well I suppose it gets rid of the need for Mewtwo and Pichu but IF THEY DO NOT SAVE JIGGLYPUFF I WILL ANGER!!! ARGH!!!

I have no idea about what to say about Pokemon Trainer. So I won't at all!!!

FELIPE NO

The most interesting part about today's MEH update is the fact that others can perform this kind of recovery. But is it like SSBM? What I mean is, if you use Link's hookshot (SSBM) after falling off the edge, you could latch onto the side and it acts as a platform. Rather than pull up, the hookshot touches the side and gives you a boost.

Does it mean you can now pull yourself up? Maybe it's just me, but while a cool idea, the hookshot/grappling beam to the side of the stage was bloody hard to do and pretty much useless considering you've got three jumps to make it to safety. Being able to pull up may also help if someone is "edgehogging".

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

Eh eh eh, look who's back and looking more awesome this time around:


OH NOES!!! She's looking really lovely though ^_^.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Damn straight. Petey IMHO is one of the worst characters made for the Mario Universe. The other is Bowser Junior, who by the way needs to GTFO of my Mario games .

What ever to the Koopa Kids, huh? And when are we getting to multiplayer modes or (possibly) online? *hint hint*

There's nowhere I can't reach.

*Attempts to steer Megaman/Street Fighter thang going on*

Seeing how long America's got until Smash comes out (December), I wonder how much more stuff they can pull out of their asses and not spoil the fun for everyone. Unless they keep revealing items every weekday -_-'...

What ever happened to the profiles of Snake and Meta Knight? Why? WHHHY???

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

As the video plays, you can just imagine "Hikari" playing in the background just as Pit falls. Nomura-esque alright.

Diddy's moves? Yeah we all know how he could be played. Diddy's inclusion was a no brainer so let's reveal some out-of-nowhere character or something about online. This thread will be housing crickets if they keep updates like this up!

Most amazing jew boots

I guess no one really cares for today's "Munchy" update. CHORTLE CHORTLE.

Yeah no one gets my jokes. Munchlax as a Pokemon. W00t. His unique characteristic? Eating items on the stage. Meh?

Nintendo's been a pain in terms of news and stuff. While I've been here getting excited about Halo, Bioshock and the other big console games, the only Nintendo game that's been keeping me on my toes is SSBB. Metroid doesn't count cause there wasn't enough hype (also due to the fact that I live in Australia... Stupid PAL/NTSC conversions).

Bleh. See you guys during tomorrow's update eh?

I was speaking idiomatically.

You can literally hear the Fire Emblem fans cry. Bloody loud that was.

While I'm not MEGA-FANBOY crazy about her I'm disappointed at the fact that she would have been a great character addition. Plus the Smash lineup needs more girls. Furthermore, she could've been a replacement for Marth (the more quicker FE character of Smash). Oh well.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

While we're still on the topic of Fire Emblem, should they include another Fire Emblem character what would it be?

I've heard rumblings of Black Knight (from GCN Fire Emblem) but when you think about it, if Ike is supposed to replace Roy as the newer, slower FE character then the other series representation would most likely be the Lord from the 2nd FE (don't know the title names -_-'). New FE character, historic FE character.

Y'know what? The release dates for countries other than the US haven't been released. Sakurai! WHEN'S MY SSBB COMING HERE???

FELIPE NO

*evil laugh*
Imagine the Lyn fans finding out the Ice Climbers made it.

All I can say is screw rumours. Ice Climbers have made anything possible.

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

I'm also liking how they're giving some of the items a little tweak. The golden hammer seems like oodles of fun
