Alright, repost from previous topic time!

The beam saber is a lot cooler; it seems like a mixture of Melee's and the originals now. I'm happy as long as it keeps its strength when thrown.

Others are expected returns, except imo the fire flower looks worse.

Also what is that clock? It looks interesting, I guess. It could be a lot of things. Hopefully a temporary slow-mo thing, that'd be sick.

I'm confused as to what looks worse about the fire flower? It looks the same.

Also I don't like the super reach on the sword or the fact it is blue! What's up with that?

(http://www.gamingw.net/pubaccess/35726/item11_071106c.jpg)

It looks like a weird flower with a slit in it instead of a traditional Mario fire flower from the games.

Also I kind of agree, although the blue looks good. The reach will make it more interesting; I can't tell if it's good or bad yet.

How do you figure? The very picture of the Wikipedia article has rings of fire going from white, to orange, to red; outside to inside. This is red, yellow, with a black slit. Imo the traditional NES version corresponds more to, say, the Super Mario version. Plus it just looks weird! A fire flower item = a flower that blows fire, in my mind!

Finally! The sword has a better use then just being chucked around.

(and well, sword only battles, but that doesn't count)

Edit: The fireflower would look 10x better without the slit, but nobodies going to notice it in-game anyways so who cares.

It swapped through colours in the NES game. At one point it was red/yellow, like the SSB screenshot.

I'm not saying the SSB one will swap colours too, but it is a faithful 3d recreation of the NES model.

It swaps colors in the original...? Wow, I totally forgot. Okay then, I agree it's more faithful to the original. Although my opinion is still the Super Mario World version of the fire flower is a lot better.

No one's said anything about the colour of the Beam Sword?! I'm appalled, you can clearly see in Sbb, and even in Melee that the Beam Sword is NOT Blue! Is pink-red not good enough for the Next-Gen system? Discuss.

It swaps through a used pallete in the NES version. In the above ground levels, it's white/red/orange/yellow etc, and below ground it is blue/white/grey etc.

Aztec, I like blue better than pink. Although... I am wishing with all my heart that the Beam Sabers spawn different colors. I wanted it so that it'd be like a handle or white or something and then according to who picked it up, it would change colors. E.g. Mario would have a red saber, while Link a green one, while Kirby a pink one, etc. Nevermind that now, though.

I think that's the clock from Super Mario 2 that makes all the enemies stop temporarily so I think that it's probably gonna freeze all other players but the one who uses it in time or something.

Perhaps, if it does freeze time, the freeze breaks for a person who is attacked.  So, you can only attack each of your opponents once before time starts flowing again.

And by the way, don't forget to scroll down a bit, it's a double update. They tell us how to grab and throw this time around.

Man, they really must not like the old colour scheme. They've changed the Fire Flower colour, Beam sword colour, and now the Shield colour. "Then pursue with combo attacks!" That picture looks odd.

I'm happy that Gray Fox is in the game, it would have been better if he were playable but I can live with him as an Assist. Apparently the Japanese page has additional quotes from him and mentions him talking briefly with Snake if he is on the stage.

Wow, I've been gone for a few days and everything turns to shit. Man, Steel is an ass (he mentioned me specifically in his little rant. I feel so proud). Sorry for bringing it up again. Just felt that I had to say that. don't ban me

On topic: Gray Fox looks like a pretty sweet AT and so does the beam saber. I've seen it actually get long in one of the Brawl videos but I thought my mind was just playing tricks with me. It's a pretty nice new addition.

The last few updates were pretty lackluster imo. I realize they can't come out with amazing updates each time, but I'm hoping we'll see something cool shortly.

No doubt we'll see a Knuckles Assist Trophy or something.

So, this Assist Trophy is cool I guess? I'm not too into the whole Metal Gear scene, so i'm not sure. The shield grabs I knew about, though. Of course, there are 'straight grabs.' With the Wiimote sideways, the minus button is grab without shielding first, so... Not a big deal, this was in Melee and the original as well.

Wow I never knew about this. I always used the straight grab. This might be more useful actually since now I know how to grab from a shield. :)
(previously i tapped the shield button to grab, I don't know if there was a separate button for this before)

The Z button did do a shield, but the main shield buttons were L and R I believe. I never use Shield-Grabs, but I never Shield really so whatever.

The site is translated by someone else, though I suppose his translations should be shaky. The dude was at E for All or something, and mentioned that everyone should be checking the dojo because of how much work it is for him.


On the shield thing though, the Z-button has always been hard for me, and so I've never used grabs. I guess I'll just be that much more awesome when Brawl comes around now that I can GRAB.

You could shield grab in Melee as well if that's what you're referring to. Otherwise, you'll still be using z to grab in Brawl if you decide to use the GC controller, unless you shield grab constantly, which works but is slower than a standard grab and is harder to pull off while running.

DarkNecrid: You forgot to include that Lucas has almost all of Ness's moves.

I never liked pk thunder. It was just not effective enough to use. It left you open for too many attacks.
I'm not sure how pk freeze works, but it seems a lot more effective in terms of offense.

Post by: Shadowtext on November 08, 2007, 03:54:23 pm
Did you use PK Thunder directly, or did you whip it around to turn Ness into a projectile? Because it's a lot more effective the second way. Using PK Thunder directly against them mostly just seems useful as an annoyer for opponents who hide in some comfortable spot and try to make you come to them.

I use both, maybe I'm just not good at using it, but someone always manages to thwart my plans, since the time it takes for the thunder to flip around can easily tell what direction your going in. (leading for an easy air dodge)

Now, none of my friends specialized in ness, but when they did play as him, most of us could dodge/counter the ness projectile easily. (unless we weren't paying attention or something)

One of my friends specialized in ness, and with a little practice PK Thunder is deadly. I really hope Lucas doesn't replace Ness however, it just wouldn't be Super Smash Bros without Ness.

They pretty much straight-out said he wasn't in it. Someone pointed that out on the last page.

This is interesting; they seem to be making smash moves much, much more than just powerful melee attacks now. First Snake is planting bombs, and now Lucas is doing Psi moves and stuff. Cool! I never really used Ness' down-B, so that's a little disappointing, but I like PK Thunder. I never could quite get the hang of using it to move him upward, though; he'd always fly at the wrong angle or something. Also, I may have misread but I think they said PK Thunder would be faster in Brawl, so that's good.

New stage looks like it could be pretty good.  Just another lava stage, but with a lava wave occasionally that requires you to duke it out for the 1 hiding place there is.  Sounds fun.

Me too. The Z button was the biggest fuck up on the Gamecube. I hear you'll be able to totally customise the controls in Brawl though, which sounds hot.

I never understood what people's problem with the Z-Button was.  Aside from the first couple days I had a Gamecube, I NEVER had a problem with it.  /shrug  Maybe that's just me though.  But like you said, you'll be able to customize the controls (for any of the 4 control schemes, I believe), so if you don't like the Z-Button you can always change throw to something else.

Uh, PK Cross?  I think you mean PK Flash.  If you charge it up to the maximum, it's insanely powerful.  However it leaves Ness stuck in place.  It's best for edge-guarding, or certain places where an opponent must pass through it to reach Ness.  Not good for much else.

Heh heh heh...I sense a good chance to be evil on Norfair.  In Melee, if there was ever something of impending doom nearby (an Onett car, an Electrode), sometimes I enjoy just grabbing a person and forcing them to take the hit with me.  This lava wave is gonna be a source of great hilarity for me.

I like running and jump-cancelling grabs. It's a lot quicker than a standard run/grab or a run/shield grab.

Have you guys ever tried running with Sheik, hitting A (to make her do her dash attack), and then quickly hitting z (to grab) right as she starts her dash attack animation? Doing it cancels her dash attack and it instead becomes a very long range running grab.

Xenosaga was only released on the PS2...right? If so no Xenosaga characters can be in Brawl because of rule #1: Third-party characters MUST have appeared at least once on a Nintendo platform.

As for the new stage, I was totally like HOLY SHIT RIDLEY IS DECONFIRMED because I thought he would make a guest appearance as a hazard. I was so relieved to see that he's not gonna be a hazard.

Anyway I really love this new stage! It really gives the feel that it's "hot".

Would you like to know what I am most excited for in SSBB? Animal Crossing Stage.


Fuck, the little guy from AC should be a playable character throughout the game. Or maybe Tortimer or Tom Nook or something.

Man, Crash Bandicoot should be a playable character. Although not from the same developers (and therefore the games sucked), he appeared on the Gamecube and DS. I could totally see his moves.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
(These moves are based off of Crash Bandicoot 3, one of the best ones in the series.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Smash Down : Bandicoot Spin : Spinning is to Crash as jumping on enemies is to Mario; He spins ridiculously fast to the point where it becomes a blur
Smash Side : Crash Slide : Basically just sliding
Smash Up : Yo-yo : Not exactly used in the games, but he always seems to have a yo-yo on him

Special Side : Wompa Fruit Bazooka : A bazooka that shoots wompa fruits. (kind of like apples)
Special Up : Death Spin : Crash rises upward while spinning; Slower then regular recoveries, making it easier to dodge, but has more maneuverability
Special Down : Belly Flop : Pretty much a standard belly flop, but with Crash being obsessed with spinning, he spins down. Not as fast as most of his other spins, you can actually see him spinning rather then a blur.

Taunt : Bandicoot Dance : This awesome dance thing that he does whenever he collects a gem

Smash Ball : Aku Aku Invincibility : Throughout the game Crash would get boxes with Aku Aku in them, (A spirit of an old witch-doctor in the form of a mask) Aku Aku would take a hit in Crash's place if he ever got in trouble. If Crash got two masks then Aku Aku would turn red and gold and start to glow, and if Crash took a hit he would go back to being regular and would be able to take one more hit for him. However, if Crash ever managed to get three masks, then he would put on Aku Aku and become this ultimate dude, that would either blow up, or fling across the level, anything that got within two feet of him. (This includes items and boxes, so it'd be pretty interesting to see in SSB) Of course its only temporary, and runs out after while. Acting kind of like Mario when he gets a star.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

It'd just be mad awesome to see all four of the most legendary platforming heroes in one game. (The others being Mario, Donkey Kong, and Sonic, who are all in the top 15 selling game franchises including Crash Bandicoot.) According to this. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Best_selling_games#_ref-crashbandicootfranchise_0)

But they didn't mention him in the level description, besides saying that Norfair is where Ridley was in Metroid, and you have to think that they'd be kinda silly not to include Ridley in RIDLEY'S STAGE when they put Kraid in KRAID'S STAGE in Brawl.

Just wanted to bring up that point, I guess...  I don't honestlly care if Ridley is or isn't in Brawl.

also I need to stop playing melee so much or change to another character because I am so good with fox it is pissing my friends off (Ice Climbers is my alternate); I always liked running and doing a shield grab as well

Fox is the shit.

This update is pretty cool; i'd seen this stage in gameplay vids but I didn't know there was a little safety zone that sealed off. It seems Fox's down-B will be useful for this!

Norfair is the location in Metroid where the enemy boss Ridley was.

Eh... Norfair is just a revamped version of Brinstar, which is very obvious to anyone who's played the original and/or Melee. I'm fine with it though, since it looks fun to play in, as well as random chances I'll  spring in a quote from Back Before Midnight. Grab opponent , "I love you man!", then we both die from the huge tidal wave of lava. Fun times. :D

I never really enjoyed Ness all that much. He was challenging to play as and all, but I never got used to playing as him. I doubt Lucas will be different. PK Freeze kinda reminds me of PK Cross/Flash since you're charging it, but meh who knows how it'll turn out.

I knew Gray Fox was coming! I was hoping he was a secret character, but hell, an Assist Trophy is just as good.

I like the new looks for the Beam Saber and Fire Flower, despite the slit. I can't wait to try out the clock. Or pretty much play this game in general.

There's also a chance Ridley might be an Assist Trophy as well, which I'm more leaning towards. I think there is one last newcomer slot left, so I guess we'll just wait and see if Ridley made it as a playable or not.

He'd damn well better not be an assist trophy, that's a huge waste.
He works very well as a playable character and there's no reason a Ridley can't be a boss either (Space Pirates, cloned him, built a robot Ridley/whatever, it's not like it has to make sense)


Besides Ridley vs Samus in Norfair it would be a crime not to let that happen.
I always liked the Metroid stages, but I'm hoping for a change of scenery, ie Phendrana Drifts, or the Phazon mines or something.

Until he gets the smash ball beaten out of him.

Ike's FS is very cool looking when you actually use it. It's probably the coolest looking FS so far. It's like an Omnislash which usually results in certain death. Check it out on youtube sometime. The only drawback is having to be right next to the opponent when you use it, like Metaknight's.

Post by: Sarhan on November 12, 2007, 06:58:33 pm
Nobody knows yet. I'm willing to bet my wii on an option to start as her from the beginning. It only makes sense since players will be able to turn off the smash ball.

Post by: Cheesy Doritos on November 12, 2007, 08:46:17 pm
Yeah, that's the obvious choice for Nintendo. Smash Balls allow you to switch between the two, which is cool, but some people will no doubt like Zero Suit better than regular Samus, and want to start with her accordingly. Also, like Sarhan said, they wouldn't trash a whole new character because some guy doesn't want final smashes.

Post by: Chyld989 on November 12, 2007, 09:08:49 pm
I still, personally, think it's pretty stupid that Samus' smash turns her into ZS Samus, and vice versa.  The beauty of Zelda in Melee was that if I wanted to switch back and forth between Shiek I could, and if I didn't want to I didn't have to.  Granted, I could just NOT get a smash ball if I didn't want to switch between the two...but it still seems pretty lame to me.

But maybe I'm alone on that....

In concept, it sounds like a good idea, but then you would have to debate about whether the smash attack is worth the transformation, especially if your not that good with Zero Suit Samus.
Title: SSBB Discussion - USE SPOILERS FOR ANYTHING NOT REVEALED ON THE OFFICIAL SITE
Post by: Cheesy Doritos on November 12, 2007, 09:33:42 pm
Well, on the flip side, you could argue that if you were only good with Zelda that they wasted her Down-B. It's a big jump, sure, but no doubt if you like Samus enough you'll play some with Zero Suit and at least get used to her so you could live out until the next smash ball.

It's good for edgeguarding I guess, but that's about it, unless there's some way to make his FS have a much longer range and the guys at E for All just haven't figured out how (remember you have to time your button presses to make it reach further). Also think about it in FFA. People will be smacking eachother left and right. Someone's bound to get hit into your FS.

I believe in random online games, your text doesn't show up at all, but in games with your friends they show up just as you wrote them.

The big update better be Captain Falcon, and not a cheap *new* F-Zero pilot like they had Lucas replacing Ness. No one can beat Captain Falcon in awesome. No one.

But if he is in Brawl (he better be), they need to make him stronger.

uh, Falcon is already pretty fucking strong as it is. his neutral air can KO most of the cast after one or two simple grab combos and the technical aspect of doing them is pretty easy.

his big drawback is that he's so fucking fast you usually mess up because of that.

I think you mean his forward air. His neutral air is pretty meh as a killing move.

You are right about his drawback though. Exactly why I can't play him well.

I like the moves, I hope that the dimensional cape move is fast enough to be used as a much cooler looking evade.

As for the song, the first second or 2 I was pretty excited(I've been known to play Meta-Knights Revenge just to listen to the song), but then they started doing so weird crap to it and it just... felt wrong or something.  I'm sure I won't mind while playing the game, but its still kinda disappointing for me.

Is it me or are they going with just ONE stage for each universe?

Also I hope you guys are right and tomorrow's update is Simon a big update.

EDIT: Also Meta Knight's moves look awesome.

I was expecting this (http://kirby.classicgaming.gamespy.com/multimedia/sounds/squeak/track30.mp3) to be the Meta Knight music. It's from the most recent Kirby game (as of typing), Squeak Squad, and was the theme used when you were on the Halberd. Hopefully they will also arrange this one. Also the beginning part is from Revenge of Meta Knight.

Well I didn't watch those gameplay videos so it was pretty awesome for me. And I think the Dimensional Cape is faster and you can teleport in any direction. Idk though, but that's what I'm guessing since:

Quote
Tilt the stick to move the position where he’ll reappear!

Yeah I'm pretty sure now.

EDIT: By making Meta Knight appear behind Pit in that picture he was just making an example of how you can use this move, not telling us that you can only appear behind opponents. I think you can also go through platforms or appear in the sky.

Post by: Cheesy Doritos on November 16, 2007, 12:17:25 am
I know. So what's the difference? I'd rather jump than Down-B slightly upwards.

Also he even mentioned he gave away Meta Knight's moves, those weren't from gameplay videos.
Title: SSBB Discussion - USE SPOILERS FOR ANYTHING NOT REVEALED ON THE OFFICIAL SITE
Post by: Christophomicus on November 16, 2007, 12:29:03 am
Because it'll dodge a move? Say you want to get to a platform and you jump; you could be intercepted. Not with a Down-B!

Nah, neutral air is the double kick thing. And yeah, I wish Marth was in too. He's going to be beaten with the nerf bat if he makes it. There's no way they'd keep him as powerful. I'll love him as long as he's still playable though.

It's kind of gay that names aren't visible. Betting is basically just a guessing game. You might be able to determine who the likely winner is based on tiers/stage choices, but otherwise it's completely random.

Post by: Dapper Swindler on November 16, 2007, 09:47:48 pm
Alright, I'll stop pouting and post again.

I've been thinking about the delay and the evidence seems to be that it was largely, if not entirely, due to efforts to create/improve the online features.  Unlike many video game delays which I believe are often artifially planned or staged to maximize marketing impact, the delay of Smash Bros Braw is economically disadvantageous.  Releasing the game after the holidays just makes no marketing sense no matter how you slice it - so I am inclined to believe that the delay was truly caused by efforts to implement those online additions.

But here's a thought.  If Nintendo was really smart (ie greedy and underhanded) they should have axed all the online features and released the game on December 3 as promised.  People would be disappointed with the subtraction, but they would have still bought the game.  Then, Nintendo could continue to smooth out the online features, secretly of course, and then suprisingly rerelease the game later in the year with those features and call it some bullshit like Super Smash Bros Braw:  Championship Edition.  It would be the same game but now with online features.  Hell, they could even add one more new character to sucker in people who can't justify rebuying the game simply for online features alone.

This way, Nintendo could have both took advantage of the preholiday market AND sold the same game a second time to the same people.  I'm sure people would complain and you, reading this, naturally hate the idea.  But can you honestly say you would not do precisely what I have outlined and end up buying both games (remember, you didn't know the second version was in the works when the first edition would be released)?

That would be funny... Though, I'd be pretty pissed. But I don't think Nintendo has done anything underhanded or greedy... Correct me if I'm wrong.

But anywho, this is an OK update. 6 out 10 really. It could be useful to see how someone plays, and try to figure out how to counter it. You see what I mean? I still think they might be building to a major update... I don't know, though.

Part of the reason I've always liked Nintendo is that they don't pull underhanded garbage like this.  It's true, they could easily have done this, and made twice as much money on the same game.  But, they have good business ethics, and I admire that.  They don't release stuff they know is faulty just to meet a deadline.

Something's fishy about the Dojo. Three whole weeks of no characters, 1st party or 3rd party. Either Dedede is the last character we'll be seeing on the Dojo (at least until after the game comes out) or they're building up for a huge update...as whatshisname just said...though I'm most probably wrong.

Also, I think Sakurai is even less of a greedy person. I don't know but, he seems to actually want fans to enjoy the game rather than make money. I'm not saying Nintendo is greedy though, don't get me wrong.

That's a good question actually, Aztec, though I can't see it happening. Perhaps something similar to the Rock Band/GH3 set up? I'm not too sure how it works, so correct me if I'm wrong (and I probably am), but from my understanding you can pay and download extra songs for both games online. I can't see Nintendo having to make you PAY for extra stuff, but then again it's such a normal business strategy that it wouldn't make sense for them not to charge money. Or wii points.

It would be pretty sweet if they did, though.

New wii-ware games are going to be coming out soon. The big one I've seen is Pokemon Ranch, where you buy this pokemon game off of Wiiware that allows your miis to interact with mii-style pokemon.

I'm assuming GH3 and Rock band will work the same way, so it makes sense that Smash bros would put their updates there also. I'm also pretty sure Marvel Alliance has a bundle of characters for download coming from Wiiware soon too.

What kind of characters/stages do you think would be included if they made online buyables?

The Wii only has a limited amount of space, though, and they have no plans to release a harddrive anytime soon, even with the announcement of Wii Ware. I wouldn't depend too heavily on a lot of games supporting DLC on Wii for the time being. I understand DLC for Guitar Hero 3 isn't available on the Wii at the moment, though they do say it may happen eventually. I don't think Rock Band is even officially announced for Wii yet, though there's practically no doubt it's coming eventually....but they might just wait until DLC is hammered down. Maybe they're waiting for the Wii Ware service to "go live" before allowing it, I dunno.

I really wish Nintendo would stop intentionally crippling it's own online service. Nintendo would be WAY in first in this console war if they would stop being so conscious about the parents who *MIGHT* be concerned from full blown online experiences on the Wii (look at the 360... kids are getting their hands on that and I don't hear public outcry). Think of how amazing some experiences on the Wii would be if they would just stop this parental concern bullshit. Live rankings on Brawl? Hell yeah. Trash talk your opponents? It’d be a given. MMO Animal Crossing? No doubt.

Arghhhh eventually Nintendo will probably take the Sony and Microsoft route. For now though, Nintendo online isn’t even passable most of the time. The option of online is better than none, but Nintendo online is hardly enjoyable.

I don't know that they will. They're making money hand over fist, and the people complaining about friend codes or the lack of ladders and ranking boards are largely the hardcore gamers. The casual market's not too concerned about them....they don't even really play that many online games. And they're making up more and more of the market share, and easily outnumber the hardcore. Ultimately, the fact that they aren't losing money because of the Friend Code system is going to mean that they have no reason to "learn" anything.

I'd expect Sony and Microsoft to change before Nintendo does. Microsoft's already gone on record as regretting the fact that they're viewed as a console only for hardcore gamers, and have started a big program to try to get the more family friendly market, including enhanced parental controls in the latest update, or so I'm given to understand. We may not like it, but Nintendo's is probably closer to what console online programs will be like in the future than Microsoft's or Sony's.

Or just a soccer ball? That's probably it. I doubt it does much more than, say, Mr. Saturn for instance.

Anyway, this was okay. Like Sarhan, i'd already seen this. Also, Halibabica, the smart bomb's explosion spreads slowly and stays there doing damage, not just one fast explosion. It's pretty wicked.

Also Training mode is cool I guess? Nothing new there.

The Smart Bomb...explodes a lot bigger than a Bob-omb, but is that all it does?  I fail to see the difference besides blast radius and potential for failure.

It's much different from a bomb-omb. It has an explosion after you throw it and the radius keeps getting bigger and bigger. It's a very cool and very powerful item.

Man, Saki is awesome, but I wonder if he counts towards the Third Party quota? I think S&P is PUBLISHED by Nintendo, but I know it's MADE by Treasure. I'm happy that he's included at all, but if someone's going to be one of the "Two or three" third party characters we were promised besides Snake, they ought to be playable. I sincerely hope they're just talking about two or three playables.

Anyone who doesn't know Saki should get Sin and Punishment on the VC, by the way. Well worth the $8. Or is it $10? Either way.

Sin and Punishment is US$12, making it the most expensive game on the Virtual Console. But yeah, everybody get it if you haven't! It's well worth the price and is just a great game.

I called this back in the other topic when I was saying how Nunchuck + Remote controls could work. Never expected it'd actually be in the game though. Although like I said before this is as far as I can see motion controls working in Brawl & I'm glad that's as far as they took it.

I never thought that when people said you could completely customize your controls they really meant completely, you know like everything. Heh I'm gonna set my controls up so that it actually feels like a side-scrolling platformer game (Classic controller: Y = Attack, X or maybe a = Special, b= Jump).

at the risk of sounding like a huge dingdong, i am really, honestly glad they gave us the ability to turn control-stick jumping off.

Because I am a LINK PLAYER in Melee, and the difference between a ground Up+B and a jumping Up+B is pretty important! One is a very useful move with reasonable recovery time, and the other is a massively shitty move that leaves you floating hopelessly in midair with your dick hanging out for a full 5 seconds

It's also going to be nice for Up-tilted A attacks, which are really hard to pull off with any consistency (because if you tilt it too fast, it's a smash, and if you tilt it too far, it's a jump).

ugh

But I guess we'd all rather have misfiring peanut popguns eh?!?

It's also good for doing tilts instead of accidentally jumping. I use X and Y to jump but if I try to tilt and hit up too quickly, I'll jump and screw myself over out of a hit. This feature makes tilts ten times easier. I wonder if I ever use up to jump though...I've been trying to see if I do while playing earlier today but I don't think I do, so having this option turned off won't mess with my play style.

I'm not sure what to do really. On one hand, this option will help immensely in case I happen to screw up an attack (lol Link's up+b). On the other hand, I think that I'll feel a bit "noobish" for using it. I use the X button to jump normally anyway, but... I-I don't know.

What I'm wondering is whether or not Wario's Final Smash will be like Samus's Zero Suit transformation. I was talking to someone just earlier who said that a ZSS-type transformation is more likely to happen because apparently, in the WarioWare games, Wario transforms into Wario-Man after eating garlic, but transforms back after eating a bomb. (or something like that)

Well, I personally don't believe in the guy and I think that it's more likely to be a temporary form, but the possibility is still there to consider I suppose.

That event was just keeping Kirby off the Halberd which happened on the SNES(I think.)
Sword Kirby versus Meta Knight should be one of the final events.

Yes, I loved that level.

One thing i'm disappointed with, besides the lackluster updates recently, is that Hyrule Castle looks EXACTLY the same. The textures are still Gamecube-esque, and i'm a little upset that they couldn't at least upgrade the appearance of it.

All of the ones that were specifically called N64 stages in-game. I think they were even tagged "(N64)" in-game. For all I can remember, they were identical to the N64 versions, but like you it's been a while since I played the N64 version. I assumed the Melee stages for Brawl were the same deal.

Nope, they never come up in 1-player mode.  The only difference between the N64 stages then and in melee now is their size.  I don't know the reason why, but they were all scaled up to be larger than in the classic game.

Also really weak update (all of them lately have been) but it's nice to know that some of the cooler stages from Melee will be returning (tournament players rejoice at the inclusion of Final Destination).

Yay Final Destination! Seriously though, that's the worst tourney stage, aside from Fountain of Dreams. Actually, FoD is probably better.

I still want to see the Hyrule Castle stage come back from the original game.

Fuck yes. That stage kicked so much ass. I don't see why they didn't include it in Melee. Hopefully it'll be in Brawl, as well as Saffron City. That stage was pretty cool too.

They could pretty easily include all of the stages from SSB64 and SSBM without taking up too much memory if I'm not mistaken (they're doing that dual-disc thing anyways, so they have like...8 GB to work with, right?). Sure it's a bit more work, but damn would it be cool.

Yeah, I was wondering why they included pretty shit stages like Yoshi's Story when they could have added those stages. Especially Saffron City, that was always my favorite stage on that game.

It's like they brought back all the ones they didn't need to, and left out all the ones that should have returned.  Dream Land is not much different than the Green Greens, Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Story are similar enough, and the Kongo Jungle has a floating blast barrel just like the N64 Kongo Jungle!

I would've brought back Hyrule Castle, Saffron City, and maybe that secret Mushroom Kingdom stage.  But, I don't have a say in these things...

Have you even played in Yoshi's Story and Yoshi's Island? The stages are completely different. Just because they both have "Yoshi" in the title doesn't mean they're the same. The same goes for the DK stages. They both have barrels, but they're very different stages. That's like saying Battlefield and Fountain of Dreams are the same because they both have platforms.

When you put it that way...yeah.  My gripe seems pretty unfounded.  I just feel like the stages they brought back were similar enough to their new-age counterparts that they could've chosen the N64 ones differently.

I think more likely they'll wait until the game is about to come out and do a month of Smash Brothers like they did for Metroid when Metroid Prime 3 came out. SSB64, a trailer for Smash, and....I dunno, something else for the fourth week.

They don't have to. That's the whole point of Friend Codes. You can't talk to anyone who isn't specifically a "friend" (as far as the game is concerned) of yours. So Nintendo can't be blamed for how your friends talk. They don't have to do anything to protect children because the Friend Codes system takes care of all of that.

Guys, they didn't originally plan on having this many updates (the release date got changed, remember?). So it's obvious they're going to have to resort to some filler.

I think it's great that they're still doing the daily updates even if the content isn't that interesting. Are you really getting that many kicks out of dissing their updates?

Heh heh heh...DarkNecrid flat out WINS.

I really don't think they're running out of updates, so much as they're running out of stuff they're willing to tell us before the game is released.  I was looking through the cast list yesterday, and they've told us a lot of the final smashes and some of the special moves, but some characters have little to nothing mentioned at all.  Bowser's specials were never released, neither were the Ice Climbers, and we know nothing about Zelda except that she's coming back.  Are they saving us from boring stuff we already knew from Melee, or keeping some things secret this way?

The Pokemon models don't look fantastic, but it's cool knowing all those legendaries will be coming back to own everybody again.  I wonder what Mew's CD does...?

Mmmm...soundtrack to Pokemon Red...

You have to be like right beside it to get hit by a polygon though.  It's really hard to get hit right with it, so it makes sense that you're pretty screwed when you do.

Pity Final Smash is stupid. Since when in a fighting game should the player be rewarded for sucking? I mean, if it's a handicap battle that you're looking for, there's already an option for that. I personally won't be playing with Smash Balls anyway, but I hope that there will be an option to turn the Pity Final Smash off.

I agree with this. Final Smashes probably would be usable in tournament situations if not for this detail. Either way I think I'm going to play with Final Smashes. It's good that you can turn them off though.

The way I see it they only planned to release so much information before Dec. 3rd. But since it was pushed back 68 days they have to reveal stupid crap like this because there need to give updates and not reveal everything they didn't want to reveal before the game's release. Word on the street is by December 15th we should have the starting roster. Also, I don't mind the bad updates too much. I don't stay up late for them anymore I just check them when I wake up so it's not a big loss.

Dude, what are you talking about? That's the whole point. It makes the matches way more exciting. Where's the fun in walloping someone who's not as good as you?

I'm siding with Cheesy on this one, if only because of one particular thing;
I wouldn't want to be Pity smashed when both me and my opponent are on a
similar level.

Sure, when one player is a lot better than the other, pity smashes might make
things more interesting. But when I'm playing someone on equal grounds, I want
a battle that's made of skill and a good use of items*. Losing because my opponent
got a Pity smash, that's just ridiculous.

*Non-overkill items, of course.*

The pity-smashes only activate when someone has a large lead, so they still probably won't beat you at all with that one smash, but rather, it gives players who are down on their luck to keep performing well, as they get a bigger chance for a comeback.  If two people are on the same level, they should be getting around the same amount of kills, so their probably won't be any pity smashes then.

Man i'm sorry but if i'm all hyped up and PUMPED I don't want no goddamn pity smashes getting my lead down. Most of my friends are at my level, just I usually have the edge. It would suck if i'm doing awesome and then some gay thing blows a bunch of angels out of the sky or something and I die. Obviously it adds a twist, it could be fun to use, etc, but honestly i'd rather keep it out. It's not like i'm trying to make my friends commit suicide from losing too much or anything (maybe)!

*disregards Grindie's afront*

I think Penguin is right.  The Pity Smashes only go to players that are really behind.  So, if both players are performing well, neither one will get a Pity Smash.  This is probably bad news for four-stockers, but otherwise I don't really see it being a problem.

Unless Penguin's wrong, and person in last gets Pity Smashes randomly.  Then that would totally suck.

Guys, it isn't that hard to understand.  And stop saying that, "OH NO! I WON'T ALWAYS BEAT MY FRIENDS ANYMORE!"  It is just a game, not real life fighting.

So some people would prefer pity smashes off. Big deal.

Aside from Smash Balls themselves, I'll probly play with items, pkballs, and pity smashes off too, assuming it's customizable (They really have thought of everything, remember?)

Wow...Grindie, I'm disappointed in you. Come on, I thought you were better than that. I'm willing to bet $100 that my 5 year old brother could beat someone who button mashes in melee (he can beat my brother's 16 year old friend, and he's doesn't button mash). Button mashing may be effective in some fighting games but it absolutely does not work in smash.

When was Europe's release date before this delay?

Oh, and Dedede's FS is pretty cool. I like how the Waddle Dees can break the terrain in Skyworld.

Walkthrough of how to play online against anyone today.  Nothing major, and a couple things that could really suck.  I WANT to be able to create a room, just so I can make the game how I want to play it.  I hope we'll be able to change it from a 2-minute KO fest as well, as 1) 2 minutes isn't anywhere near long enough of a game, and 2) I HATE timed matches.  Give me a stock count, or give me another game.

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.

This makes me think there are more unrevealed characters, maybe a lot more.  If he's referring only to this hidden characters already on his site, then anyone reading this would already be spoiled.

EDIT:  Can you play with your user created stages online?  If so, how would that work?  Maybe you can't, since a user could potentially arrange platforms to spell out the word "fuck" and we can't have that now can we.

My guess would be no.  Maybe the 'Stage of the Day' or whatever they're going to call it, but I doubt you'll be able to play with any other than that and the actual included-with-the-game ones.

You know, this got me thinking. Imagine if we'd be able to set a 99 stock match online lolololz but yeah I'm curious as to how this will end up. :fogetmmh: The thing I'm worried about right now is the number of players on random. 4-player is fun and all, but ultimately I prefer fighting 1on1 matches. That said, there should be an option allowing us to determine the number of players in the matches we play. I'm looking forward to Wi-Fi very much so I hope that it won't suck.
Title: SSBB Discussion - USE SPOILERS FOR ANYTHING NOT REVEALED ON THE OFFICIAL SITE
Post by: halibabica on December 07, 2007, 11:27:32 am
My guess would be that many of the problems you just mentioned are adjustable in friend mode.  Since the play anyone option has to consider up to four different people (and therefor four different preferences), the options are going to be more random.  However, when you play against friends, I would guess that the person who creates the room would determine all the settings.  But there's no way of knowing for sure.

And I can't wait to find out which secret characters they're not telling us about.  I'm glad they're not revealing everything, even if it does mean a lot of boring updates.

They did. They had it done eight months ago. If you're talking about Nintendo WFC for Wii, I mean. Smash was probably pushed back for the same reason all Nintendo games get pushed back--they didn't feel like they were done yet. They're late with every game they put out. Getting surprised and upset about it at this point is an exercise in futility.

Post by: Chyld989 on December 07, 2007, 07:36:17 pm
They could even have some of the settings be done by lottery like the stages.  Everyone votes on if they want a timed or stock match, and such, and then the majority wins (assuming there is a majority).  Perfect?  No.  Better?  I think so.

If it's only timed matches, that would SUCK. I'm sorry but Random isn't a good idea for this type of game! Also I hope it's not always 4v4, etc. I hope they add more indepth options to this mode, as this was probably the most anticipated part of the game.

Although, if you drop out and a CPU replaces you, that's pretty cool too.

"With anyone" is going to suck. "With friends" is where it's at. I visit smashboards a lot and although that place is filled with whiny children, there are some really good players there. I'm just going to get all of their friend codes and play them randomly whenever I want to play "with anyone." That way I can actually make the rules, pick stages, adjust items, and play one on one matches (assuming all with "anyone matches" will be 4-player free for alls).

The "with anyone" matches are insanely limited.
"Isn’t that simple? You don’t have to trouble with any settings. You just choose characters and stages."

I'd much rather set up matches with my own settings and have to wait for people to join my room. Even pokemon's trade center had better online settings.

These updates are probably helping the game too. We'll all think the wifi is going to suck, and when it comes out, it'll be awesome!

Actually, they haven't announced any of the original four secret characters.  My guess is they're keeping them completely under wraps until release.  I mean, except for Ness.  Rest in peace, great warrior...let that wannabe Lucas continue your legacy...

As far as the crappy updates go, they've gotta run out of instruction manual stuff eventually.  Even items or Poke Balls/Assist Trophies would be better than this garbage.

Original four secret characters? Holy crap you're right! They haven't said anything about Luigi or Mewtwo either. Well this makes me feel a bit better since I'm pretty sure Luigi is still in I see no reason Captain Falcon wouldn't be either (they just haven't mentioned them yet for some reason).
Also Ness could easily be an alternate costume for Lucas since their character models are so similar. So really I'm not gonna count him out yet either.

Don't worry Leric, I would be very surprised if Captain Falcon wasn't in it.  There are many veterans that haven't been mentioned yet. 

Because of the indefinite wording, I'm not entirely sure Ness isn't in it.  He might still be.  But it's not looking good for him.

That doesn't mean anything, they used it for Samurai Goroh.

Since I don't feel like explaining the whole icon deal, I'll just say, Goroh does not get his own icon, much like Saki doesn't, much like Lil' Mac doesn't.  You're quite silly if you think Samurai Goroh would be included in the game and not Captain Falcon, good sir.
F-Zero will have either a character or a stage AT LEAST. And I think everyone can agree Captain Falcon being included is much more likely than a lone stage or different character.

Unless Luigi, Jigglypuff, and Cpt Falcon are unlockables, it's probably safe to say they're going to make long anticipated updates.

I hope the karts don't do too much damage.  It could be annoying having to keep up with them all the time.  If they all generally keep up with each other, then it shouldn't be a problem.  It's like a still version of Mute City. ^^

I really hope this isn't our "big" update for the week/month, though I have to say, I much would much rather have things we've already seen in trailers than the options menu. Notice in that screenshot, we still have "vault" and "data" menus to discuss.

Man I was pretty excited to see Waluigi because I thought he might have been playable at first.

But nope, more crappy updates (but hey two assist trophies is less crappy than the other stuff we've seen this week).

A better than usual update.

Is anyone going to be disappointed that Waluigi isn't a playable character?  Didn't think so.

For some reason, the text for Stafy made me lol.

"I'll do it! I'm doing it!"

"Stafy, why did you een come here?"

Some kid at smashboards threw a tantrum (omg no way) about Waluigi not being in Brawl. He said he should have been in before "shitty third party characters like Snake and Sonic" (because Waluigi is so important to the Mario franchise and gaming in general). I found it amusing.

I like Stafy's games but still I never thought they say anything about him EVER. He'll probably make a pretty interesting assist trophy since you can actually hit him (I thought you could hit them all anyway).

I was just thinking about something. I think that there will be only one more newcomer revealed and no more veterans revealed. Look at the Characters page on the website. There is three rows with four characters in each for both the Newcomers and Veteran Fighters category. In the veteran fighters category, all the rows are filled. But in the Newcomers category, there is one space remaining.
I dunno, maybe that's a little far fetched.

Being that they didn't plan to bump the game back two months, they probably didn't intend on revealing any of the other characters.  Oh, there WILL be more, but damned if they're going to tell us before February.

No, not farfetched, just lacking common sense. You know they can add new rows, right? Before Lucas, Sonic, and Dedede were revealed, they only had two rows. The game will easily have over 30 characters. It'd be a step back if it didn't.

Is everyone aware of the thing with the Japanese magazine that is supposedly going to reveal all the characters tomorrow?

They didn't reveal anything new. Just a bunch of old info with a bunch of old screenshots.

I've been thinking about stages.

I also thought about there being an Earthbound stage based on the freaky battle backgrounds from the game (just imagine that stage plus Earthbound's battle music).

Another stage that looked cool until they screwed it over with the gay rotation. I understand it's cool/fancy/whatever, but it's annoying. That's why I didn't play the previous metroid stages and the same reason why I probably won't play this one much.

Cool... Longer, larger, more picture-d updates with increasing frequency of double updates. Hopefully they're not shoving cool stuff into a week to prepare for a month of useless updates.

Anyway, the stage is pretty cool, but imo it could either be ruined or saved by the frequency of the switching. They have to find a good balance for it to work well!

Also the music is okay, I've never played Mother 3 so i'm not too into it.

I think it'd be an interesting item in normal brawl as well... The person you hit gets healed. This way, or the way I see it at least, is you can only get healed if someone throws it at you or you throw it up and then get in the way. That'd make things pretty interesting!

Also the main reason I came here:

Mega Man deconfirmed (?) (http://gonintendo.com/?p=32159).

She didn't get nerfed that much. From the demo, she was one of the best characters along with Pikachu and Meta Knight. Her down smash got nerfed (you know, the one that could do 70% fully charged and crouch cancelled) but her forward smash got a massive buff and can kill at pretty low percentages. All they basically changed is which moves people will be using. Otherwise, she's still probably just as powerful.

Well, I really do love Super Smash Brothers. It's a great series...but, Nintendo hasn't asked me yet if they can use Mega Man in their game. I'm still waiting...we have a little bit of time left, it's not coming out for another few months. They might get around to asking us if we'd like to put Mega Man in Super Smash Brothers. Maybe if somebody from Nintendo is listening to this podcast, they'll give me a call.

I know this is going to come as quite a blow to all of you out there had been keeping your fingers crossed for Megaman's appearance, but it looks like you're out of luck this time. Or are you? As he says "we still have a little bit of time left." But will it be enough time for some last minute coding?

No, I really don't feel like that is possible at all. I don't feel negotiations work like this, especially this late into development. I'm disappointed to hear this though. Mega Man deserved to be in this game, as he's much more representative of a Nintendo character than Sonic and especially Snake.

Well yeah, you're right, but what I was referring to was there being many more Mega Man games on Nintendo consoles over the years as opposed to the other two.
Title: SSBB Discussion - USE SPOILERS FOR ANYTHING NOT REVEALED ON THE OFFICIAL SITE
Post by: Jester on December 23, 2007, 11:31:59 pm
yeah but the other.. well, sonic was chosen because every single person in the world apart from about 5 wanted sonic to be in it

snake was chosen uh

because uh

i mean megaman should have also been in it but i can see why they.. uh.. why sonic was in it first.

Aha... Well, i'm at least glad to hear her down-smash was nerfed a bit. That was annoying. Hopefully Pikachu's will get a little depowered as well... I'm hoping for a slower game than melee!

His down smash got a buff from what I've heard. It's more similar to Peach's from Melee and it has good vertical KO potential even at lower percentages. And yeah, Brawl is somewhat slower than melee, but mostly in the air just because of the increased floatiness. Even Fox falls just as slowly as Kirby does. He hovers in the air long enough with a short hop that you can shoot three times before landing.

Beat you to it?

EDIT: Also I love this update. I was hoping they'd have Wario's classic costume. I kinda lost my hope with the color change update that showed they were just mere palette/texture swaps, but it's good to see that Wario has his old costume. I'm going to play him with the old one all the time.

man I don't know.  it really seems like a different style to what I'm usually used to jun senoue churning out, which is why I like it.  but I really want to see fumie kumatani or keiichi sugiyama do some remixes for brawl.  i'm willing to let a few jun senoue songs pass if they jump on this shit

EDIT:  oh, and cut jun senoue some slack -- it's kind of hard to live up to the hitmakers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masato_Nakamura) behind the (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1458113/) first three games (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1458069/)

i am mostly upset about jun senoue trying to modernize the old music. it is MOSTLY pretty great actually, but in the later part of the clip it seems jun senoue just HAD to put a bit of his awful shit into the song, which kind of ruined it for me.

KEEP THAT SHIT THE SAME MAN

Turning stuff into trophies is probably going to be a lot easier in co-op.  Finding a trophy stand in 1-player and having to fight with only b-moves (to avoid dropping it or having it disappear) would be a pain in the butt.

Doesn't it come out on the 14th for Japan? We should be getting some really good updates once the game comes out I'd imagine. Or perhaps they'll just stop all together. Who knows.

That Dragoon item does not seem like it's practical at all unless you're doing a really long time match, 10+ stock, or only a few items (including the Dragoon) at a high rate. I hate the direction Brawl seems to be going towards at times. Makes me want to cry.

I love when they announce another feature that tournament-only players don't get to use because it makes them more sour than usual, and I find that funny.

I like the concept of the Dragoon item since it gives alternate motives to go after certain players. It can also become a type of psychological choice - do you try to collect the pieces of the Dragoon and end up drawing more attention to yourself and therefore more damage? Is this worth it?

The way I think it should and will work is this:  the first piece has as good a chance as any item to show up, but, once it is collected, the other pieces fall soon afterwards.  So it wouldn't take a really long match as you presume.  I think you should hold back those tears until you can actually see how all these ideas play out.

Meh...I was going to say something, but I don't want so start shit so I'll keep my mouth shut.

I love when they announce another feature that tournament-only players don't get to use because it makes them more sour than usual, and I find that funny.

Dude...I've been to four tournaments in my whole life. Although I'm better than the average player and can hold my own against tourney players, it doesn't automatically make me a tourney-only player (and assuming so is ignorant). Over 99% of the time I've spent playing Smash is with my friends, who also happen to be casual players. Just because I prefer playing one on one matches with no items doesn't mean I don't play FFAs with items on high. Most of the time I've played Smash was spent doing FFAs or teams with items.

And FYI, I love the gooey bomb, franklin badge, bumper, superspicy curry, golden hammer, the new and improved beam sword, and especially the cracker launcher. I can't wait to test these items out and it's probably the second thing I'll do right after clearing out Subspace Emissary and unlocking a few characters. What a surprise! You guys seem to have this mindset that if someone prefers to play one way, they automatically hate everything else. Don't jump to conclusions.

The way I think it should and will work is this: the first piece has as good a chance as any item to show up, but, once it is collected, the other pieces fall soon afterwards. So it wouldn't take a really long match as you presume. I think you should hold back those tears until you can actually see how all these ideas play out.

That's a great idea and I hope that you're right. My gripe was this: with how many items there are in the game, you might not even see all of the parts during a regular match which usually takes only a couple of minutes. And you are right about me holding back my tears. I should take my own advice and not jump to conclusions.

But Sarhan, the way you put it in your post, you make it sound as if the game is getting worse rather than better.  Maybe if you're more specific about what direction you think the game is taking, people will understand you better.

I never said it's getting worse but I can see how someone might come to that conclusion from what I've said. I like the direction the game is going in as a whole. I'm very satisfied with that. However, I don't like this item in particular because it doesn't seem practical unless you're doing long matches. It also influences the way people fight by focusing a players attention on collecting items rather than getting kills (and yeah, I understand you can get kills in the process). It's kind of like Powerstone (great game by the way...oh wait, that's an opinion...sorry Jester) in that sense. I understand I can just turn the item off if I want (which is why I love Smash) and I know it's a small detail, but it's still a slight annoyance and not something I'm looking forward to.

Now again, this is an opinion and from what we've learned from Jester, it should be ignored.

And guys...I'm probably the biggest fan of the Smash Bros. series and I'm willing to bet that I've easily clocked in more time with the game than most of you have (I was playing it about two hours ago at my girlfriend's house). If there's anyone that's looking forward to Brawl, it's me, but just because I love the series doesn't mean I can't be against a feature, item, or whatever else they throw in that I happen to dislike. Accepting everything doesn't show you love the game. It shows that you don't.

Post by: Erave on December 29, 2007, 03:21:13 am
I don't play tournaments but I general don't play items. I feel the game gets a lot added when most distractions are taken away. Combat is more imperative and more strategy is added (in many ways, just think about it.) But if you're all into items or what not, I don't care. I don't think it's more wrong or right to play it that way. Smash is very versatile which is why ALL types of people love the game. It can be a really fun, party game, or it can be a very in depth fighter  (more than I think people usually get it credit for).

 I don't get why people who play with items get all defensive when we state we don't really care to play with thousands of exploding crates and instant killing items. But it's cool because that's why they included an item switch. Makes everyone happy.

In other words. Mateui shut the fuck up with your stupid "I play the game the right way" righteousness. Later.

It's just pretty typical of the people that think like that. I dunno, it's pretty annoying. But Jester can't argue with that lad... he gets me everytime... oh man can't talk to erave how illogical :)

Obviously, not EVERYONE is gonna like EVERYTHING. I mean, if this weren't an opinion based discussion I could understand why the same 3 people keep getting upset.



I've never heard of air ride, but the item seems like something out of power stone. It was great in powerstone, <spoiler?>but I don't like the looks of it in smash.</spoiler?>

EDIT: Whoops, Sarhan already referenced to power stone.

Although I'm better than the average player and can hold my own against tourney players, it doesn't automatically make me a tourney-only player (and assuming so is ignorant).
What makes you assume that I was talking about you? How ironic that you talk about assumptions as being ignorant.  :fogetnah:

In other words. Mateui shut the fuck up with your stupid "I play the game the right way" righteousness. Later.
What... the... First of all Erave I never expected you to be the swearing angry type.. You must have really changed from before I suppose. Besides, I never once said anything to the effect of playing the game the right way, so I have no idea where you got that impression from. I know there was a no-item VS item debate in this topic before, but I didn't participate in it. In fact, I hold the view that every feature is good for somebody and everyone should try everything out to see if it suits them. I think it's highly foolish and stupid for certain people to ignore certain features altogether because of their held misconceptions and viewpoints. It's like somebody saying that they hate a certain food while in fact they have never even tasted it. Complaining about it makes it even worse because it makes them look like simpletons.

People from other sites who complain about such things. I was making a jab at them, not at anyone particular in this topic since no one here professes to be a hardcore tourney player. Perhaps I should have been a little more specific so as to avoid a misunderstanding. I'll strive to do so in the future. Hopefully there are no hard feelings between us.  :shrug: (I always thought that this emoticon was a "let's be friends and hug" instead of "dunno".. Must be just me! :P)

Anyway, I just can't wait to get my hands on this game. I don't have a Wii yet so I'll only invest in one simply for this game. I think I asked this before but no one responded to it, but how likely do you think that they'll make a Wii + Smash Bros bundle, and when? At game release, or further down the road?

Yeah, it's cool. No hard feelings. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I'm just a bit defensive about that because of the douche bags at smashboards. Sometimes I forget that the community here is smarter and more mature.

As for the bundle, I haven't heard any official news yet but I wouldn't be surprised if they did make one considering how huge the game will be (and the fact that it's a perfect representation of Nintendo and all of it's franchises). It'd probably be down the road though after Brawl passes its maturity phase in the market. That way they'll boost both Brawl and Wii sales a bit more.

I think it'll be pretty tough for you to get a Wii unless you end up camping a store like I did. They said they'd have a shortage this Christmas season and I assume that might carry into early Q1 of 08, but I'm not sure. They did mention something about increasing production sometime soon.

EDIT: Also, who here has a Wii and plans on getting Brawl? I'd like to get all of your codes I could add you and play against all of you. It'll be so much better playing against people you know instead of doing "with anyone." I'll be getting my copy at the midnight release. Anyone else?

Well, either way, glad to know somebody's getting the game shortly after it comes out. We should either make a seperate thread for Brawl codes, update the first post in this thread, or add a seperate section to the thread you linked earlier (once the game comes out of course). I'll be adding you ASAP, although I probably won't play you the first few days until I make the transition from Melee.

I don't know about that. They could just not show it at all until release. You might be right though.

Yea, megaman is pretty much a wash.  But given Hudson's enthusiasm on the VC and their work with Nintendo on other projects (like Mario Party), I don't think we should discount an appearance by Bomberman or Master Higgins.

It should be fine. I have a feeling the roster might be leaked soon (just a hunch) and if that happens, I'd love to talk about it.

In Japan, they celebrate New Years for a week or so, not a day. They're REALLY hardcore about it. They don't celebrate Christmas or anything, so New Years week is their winter vacation.

It has the first 2 commercials (youtube links above) and a 3rd one with the Pokemon Trainer, Ike, and DeDeDe (being awesome).

Pretty good news IMO. A buddy of mine and I are going to the midnight release of Brawl and we're heading to my house to play until around 5 AM. The fact that they have 2 player wi-fi means I'll be able to try the online mode with my friend instead of one of us just sitting and watching.

I see the tradition of sucky updates continues even after the break. No matter. 17 more days until we find everything out from the Japanese players.

Well, it isn't so bad actually. I'm glad to see so many stages coming back. At least we know there'll be plenty of stages. We already have 25 (19 new and 6 old) so with the unannounced ones, it should be enough. I'm still hoping for SSB64 stages. I doubt it's gonna happen though, but I'd love the chance to play on Saffron City and Hyrule again.

Eh... Not a bad update. The one thing I'm REALLY disappointed with is the apparent lack of graphical update in these stages. Melee was great and all, but against the beautiful characters and even items, bare stages like Corneria don't stand a chance. I'd rather have an exact replica of the stage, but nicer, newer graphics. Plus, they went from space to a city in the transition from N64 to Melee, so why did they keep Corneria as it is? Just a little disappointment.

And yeah, we could definitely organize tournies a few months after release. To make it interesting and worthwhile, we'd probably need 12+ people. And maybe we can do 2 vs. 2 if enough people buy it. We'll see.

EDIT: Also, Japanese Amazon has ran out of pre-orders already and apparently some U.S. stores have stopped taking pre-orders as well. Looks like Brawl will be pretty huge.

Im pretty happy that the Onett stage is back, it was the first one I thought of when the first Melee stages update was announced.

And we now have the Alloy Rangers to deal with!

If no one minds, I would like to fight some of you guys sometime. (Luckily I pre-ordered it in October)
A wifi match is the first thing my friends and I are going to do when we get the game, heh.

I assume you'll be able to play across continents etc? So me and my pals can join in in some Gw Brawl hijinks!!

I pre-ordered during the summer...

Nice update, I guess... Nothing new really.

I'm really looking forward to playing you guys soon, though. Obviously plenty will be better than me (sarhan) but I love a challenge so! Just... Sarhan, you play no items, right? I play with items, and i'm not starting an argument or anything, but just bringing up the point that people will all have different preferences. I would much rather have items, while plenty of people think the opposite. Just something to consider, I guess?

(Also man 2v2's will be awesome, but i'm getting it later in the week due to Amazon shipping slow.)

Definitely. We'll probably get a topic going here with Brawl codes as soon as the game comes out. If you want to play ASAP, send me a PM with your AIM and we'll get something going. Erave and I have already planned it out.

Quote from: smashbros
Goodness! Captain Olimar joins the fray with five colors of Pikmin in tow! He plucks Pikmin from the ground and they fight as his allies.

yes that was said already

I don't really understand how much he can really do, what could pikmin do in the game? I can't remember :(

Is he just going to be SMASH YOU WITH PIKMIN/PLUCK PIKMIN/???

In this world, trophies fight.

They know nothing but fighting. Fighting is the sole reason for their existence.

Being turned back into a trophy, being unable to fight, is much like death.

I'm hoping you can throw the pikmin onto an enemy, like in the game. Nothing like just tossing all of your pikmin onto a giant slug and watching them pummel the shit out of something 300 times their size.

At first I was like WHAT when he said you couldn't smash without pikmin, but since you can pluck 'em (probably with your down-b) it's all good. I wonder what his other moves are? Hopefully he can throw them, and HOPEFULLY his throw will be like Samus' or Link's: a chain of pikmin to catch the ledge with. Just... I was awed after King DeDeDe, but this is almost TOO AWESOME!

Unfortunately, this'll probably be the last good update!

I can't tell if you're serious or not but I'm sure Marth won't be kicked. Roy was there as an advertisement, so he may be gone, but Marth is the first Emblem lord. He's an icon in the FE series and getting rid of him would be like getting rid of Mario and just having Luigi.

idk if this got posted (not on the last two pages) but the schadenfreude is exquisite for me.

I remember reading about it being debunked. Some stores (online in particular) had their release dates set to March but a bunch of them have already changed it back to February. Just some confusion IMO.

Besides, the game is 14 days away from release in Japan. They wouldn't push it back this late. However, even if it does happen, it's really not a big deal. It's only a month.

Sarhan, I know there are notable differences between Ike and Marth, but... I'm not sure what they are. Ike is slower? And his Up/Down-B's are different?

Ike is much slower than Marth, but he's also much stronger. If they were to fight though, Marth would win because Ike has some pretty nice wind-up lag, more than Bowser and Ganondorf did in Melee. His tilts take longer to activate than most smash attacks do. I'm sure he's playable once you get the timing down and if you can predict your opponents (or if they actually fixed him up since E for All), but it'd probably take some time to get really good with him.

EDIT: His down B is a counter from what I recall, but his up B is a straight up and down move similar to Kirby's. His up + b sucks for recovery, but he might have some other ways of getting back kind of like how you could side B towards the ledge with Marth.

But yeah, overall, he doesn't play anything like Marth and Roy.
Title: SSBB Discussion - USE SPOILERS FOR ANYTHING NOT REVEALED ON THE OFFICIAL SITE
Post by: Cheesy Doritos on January 10, 2008, 09:59:45 pm
Alright, those are enough differences to keep Marth in, I think. I love Marth because he's fast and great in midair, but if Ike is THAT different, Marth has to still be in.

Post by: Sarhan on January 11, 2008, 08:00:28 am
Shit. They stayed very true to the Pikmin game...the plucking, the throwing, and the order move are all from the game. Looks damn awesome though.

Quote
But don’t fret! It’s easier than it looks. Spend some time playing around with him. That’s key.

I'm glad they added this last part in because it looked like he'd be tough to play with. His recovery move kinda sucks though since you pretty much have to have all 6 Pikmin in order to get the maximum range out of it, which means being cautious about the way you fight. If you end up doing a sweet ass combo, using up all 6 Pikmin in the process, and then get knocked off, you could be screwed. With Ice Climbers, if Nana dies, you can side B (gaining more distance by quickly tapping B) towards the ledge, but Olimar's side B is the throw, so it's useless as far as recovery goes.

Hope he can jump high.

Post by: Jayce on January 11, 2008, 08:15:12 am
Yeah but remember by the look of it he only uses pikmin on his special moves, whereas on standard attacks he'll probably just swing them around like a club of some sort.
Unless I accidentally misread somewhere that you lose pikmin from doing standard attacks.

EDIT: Heh they've changed it already (in fact it seems I got it right at the last minute). I wonder if this means I still get it for 20 bucks? Doesn't really matter though since I was gonna buy it anyway.

I bought it from Wal-Mart before i left for class earlier this morning, I have my receipt and everything too. When I came back from class though, the order was done for.

Haha, awesome. This looks like the makings of an insanely in-depth character, but really fun. I love the variety of pikmin, but i'm not too sure about down-B's usefulness especially. Additionally, Carius, that's what I think too. Wonder what his final smash will be...?

You still get it for 20$, thats why I posted it.

There was like 15 other games all PS3/Wii/360 that were accidentally posted at 20. :P

My guess would be he calls in 100 Pikmin, as that's the max number you're allowed to patrol around with in the games.  That...would be beautiful...

Our price:   $49.99

From BestBuy:

          Super Smash Bros Brawl (Nintendo Wii)

Releases 31 Mar/08. Welcome to a brawl for the ages, where anything can happen, anyone can show up, and all bets are off!

Online Availability
Pre-order: Estimated release date: March 31, 2008   


...So, March 31st, 2008 release date, eh?  That sucks.

Just went in to Gamestop today to pay off my order and asked them if they've heard anything about a delay. They said it's still scheduled for February 10th.

Post by: Cheesy Doritos on January 13, 2008, 12:17:05 am
Yeah, I knew there wouldn't be one. They would've said something on the site, at least, and it's slated to come out in like a week or two in Japan anyway.

EDIT:

I've been thinking... Since Olimars not exactly fighting-focused in his original games, of which there have been only two, his addition makes me think that Viewtiful Joe is all the more likely. He's been in more Nintendo games, his character is fighting-oriented, he's a third-party character, and finally his moves would have to be really cool and interesting, which this game seems to like for it's characters. I think he'd be so badass and totally fits with the mood of the game.
Title: SSBB Discussion - USE SPOILERS FOR ANYTHING NOT REVEALED ON THE OFFICIAL SITE
Post by: Mongoloid on January 14, 2008, 12:04:05 am
But if Viewtiful Joe is includable, then we have to admit that Celshaded Link is also probably in.
Viewtiful Joe is awesome, but unless they did a Mario-esque makeover for Smash, I think I'd rather not.

Post by: Cheesy Doritos on January 14, 2008, 02:05:03 am
...Huh? Cell-shaded Link is a horrible idea, regardless of the rumors. We don't need another Link! Also, I think Joe fits perfectly with the atmosphere of Brawl, better than, say, Snake or something.

Does anybody here read the Smash It Up articles on IGN? I've just read through them, and though they're really running thin, the bulk was pretty neat.
I'm assuming we'll get no more new characters until the release, but I'm really rooting for Isaac and Ray 01 when the games come out.

What if he replaced young Link? I mean, I never liked the idea of two iterations of the same Link in the same game. (plus you can serve up so much more hate by kicking people's asses as Wind Waker Link)

And I'm on the Joe boat. I have been ever since melee.

Simon all the way. After all, I don't think any of the others you mentioned are as likely as Simon is since he's like, the iconic character of Castlevania, the face of Castlevania etc. and yeah, if any Cv character was going to be in it'd be Simon. Richter and Alucard would be ATs.

Man Young Link is the same as Link pretty much. Different range, different up-B slightly, different B slightly, and a shorter grab! He won't be in Brawl. They seem to be replacing all the clones with original characters.

Also Nightmare, Sheik had been confirmed, I believe! Sarhan posted a link earlier to a translated Japanese magazine with the confirmation of Sheik being Zelda's down-B, as well as Snake and Sonic being secret characters.

Also yeah Sarhan; Viewtiful Joe's first two games, at least, were on the Gamecube.

Anyway, today's update was okay. It's interesting to see the amount of thought they put into things like these, and it's a huge relief to someone like me, aka a completest, to know that I will be able to figure out what needs to be done for all the music, trophies, and stickers. Huzzah!

There are a lot of bullshitters at smashboards right now, trying to pretend they each have a nintendo informant. I've read 7 or 8 "leaks" already and in my opinion they all seem pretty fake.

I'd be careful what you believe until the japanese release date, or until we get an article confirmation or something.

Olimar's final smash is called End of Day...that sounds interesting...

yeah it's sad. Famitsu used to be the most legit magazine ever, because they had been around for fucking ever (1986) and had given like ZERO GAMES 40s, and now they've given, what, Nintendogs, didn't Wind Waker get one, this game...

Quote
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998, Nintendo, for Nintendo 64)
Soulcalibur (1999, Namco, for Dreamcast)
Vagrant Story (2000, Square Co., Ltd., for PlayStation)
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (2003, Nintendo for Nintendo GameCube)
Nintendogs (2005, Nintendo, for Nintendo DS)
Final Fantasy XII (2006, Square Enix, for PlayStation 2)
Super Smash Bros. Brawl (2008, Nintendo, for Wii

so yeah they've given another fighting game a 40, and apparently there is a lot of criticism that they raised scores in recent years.

The Japanese have different tastes in games than we do. That's why RPGs usually get amazing reviews there but games like GTA and FPSs get shitty ones. Could explain why Gundam games always get good scores.

Wind Waker was charming, but 40/40 only proves that Famitsu is I (heart) Nintendo. .
That game was basically three dungeons and several hours of looking for triforce pieaces to make up for the otherwise VERY short playtime.

I trust this review, even though Famitsu does love Nintendo. Melee got a 37/40 and it was damn good. Brawl has more of everything (more characters, stages, better single-player, online, etc.) so I'd say this review is fairly reliable.

well I'm just saying it doesn't mean as much as it did when it was first done.

it's probably a good game but yeah Famitsu no longer holds the "m...my god...the...reviews..." that it used to.

My understanding is that Famitsu gives games a 38 or so if they're guaranteed million sellers, but a 40 is still reserved for when they actually exceed expectations, and even with their relaxed criteria, they've still only ever had like nine games with a perfect score. So a 40 is still pretty nice. I can't imagine anyone's really surprised that SSBB got a great review, though. It'll probably get pretty similar scores from every place that reviews it.

But yeah, Famitsu says SSBB is an excellent game. I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

I don't get how Nintendogs got a 40 though.

Because it was far and away the best pet simulator ever made at that point by an indisputable margain.  Famitsu's position is that a perfect game is one that is the best example of a game in that genre up until that point.

Also, it was really fun anyway.

Awesome find. Captain Olimar's final smash is exactly what I imagined. Too bad they don't show more of him though. I can't tell if he's quick or not. He seems to have Mario's speed.

I'm hoping everyone stays from Melee, excluding Ness and the clones. I hated Mewtwo, but he made for a good enemy.

I have to say though, if it came between Lucario and Mewtwo, I'd pick Lucario.

Also, Mewtwo would definitely fit in the Subspace Emissary as a badguy along with Wario n Bowser.

I love most of the clones. Link was slow, but Young Link was perfect. I can kick some ass with him. Fox I didn't like much, but Falco is awesome (SHFFLD DAirs kick ass). Dr. Mario was better than Mario because his pills are much more useful than Mario's fireballs. Ganondorf I never played much, but there's a damn good chance he's coming back.

I think Ganondorf and Falco are returning from the clones, but with different movesets. Everyone else is pretty much gone IMO. And I don't even know who the fuck Lucario is, but I'm guessing Mewtwo has a 50/50 chance of coming back.

Cool update, but nothing very new, really. That's better than nothing, though!

I hated the clones. Obviously Falco and Fox and Mario and Dr. Mario and Link and Young Link and Pikachu and Pichu, etc, had some small differences, but... Ugh. I have a feeling Sakurai had the same thought, and it seems like he's replacing the clones with original characters. Hopefully one or two of the previous clones (Ganondorf, Falco) will return as originals, though.

The Japanese seem to like adding English letters onto the ends of game titles. I kinda like the sound of "Super Smash Bros. X" though.

Also, that commercial tripped my geek humor; Mario dropkicks Zelda and takes center stage, and his name pops up, and then the symbol for "Wa" comes down and knocks "Ma" away as Wario smashes him off the stage. Then Mario comes back again, his name pops up again, and boom, a pikmin smashes him out of the way, and the "O" and "Ma" swap places to spell Orimaa.

Funny stuff.

I really liked this update, because I haven't been really interested in the latest Finals Smashes shown.
Olimar's is pretty interesting, both visually and gameplay wise. (I guess its guaranteed damage)
If a starter, he is definitely one of the first characters I want to try out.

Am I the only one who's completely missed the relevance of stickers to this game? IMO they'd be better represented as trading cards, or game cartridges or something in the collectible aspect, but as for this Subspace thing, I'd be much happier with equips or something.


Not that I'm complaining, but some parts of the game seem a bit overloaded. It's probly just because of the dojo.

Actually, I think it completely fits the game. There had been talk of stickers and
stuff from early on in development, and next to the coins, trophies and all that
jazz, these stickers don't seem so weird to me.

The only thing that surprises me is that they didn't put this in Melee.

Yeah, now that the stikers actually have a purpose beyond being another collectible, this shouldn't be so bad.  Of course, I'm  still going to try and get good enough to beat the Subspace Emissary's toughest difficulty without sticker-steroids, but we'll see just how tough they make the game this time.  I know some modes of Melee are still just impossible to me (mmmph All-Star).

In my opinion if anything this adds another layer of depth that I never expected. It shows that the emassary might be more than just a longer version of Melee's adventure mode with alittle more story. This actually makes me even more excited about this mode. And besides this is an Nintendo game & since they've had a habit lately of making easier games I'm pretty sure that you'll probably be able to beat the emassary on the lower difficulties without using stickers.

If they announce that you can make emassary stages with the stage builder I will marry this game and have its children.

I thought about this too. Oh man, the similarities... The good thing though is that Brawl won't be as nearly as broken as JUS (imho lolz). JUS can get pretty messy with all of the supports running around.

Also, from everyone's "phew" response, I found this funny:

Finally, remember that stickers are only of use within The Subspace Emissary. Sorry to say, but they’ll be of no use to you in standard brawls.

Shit yes, this is awesome! At first it was just okay news, but now it sounds great. I mean, I cannot wait to go through super hard mode with Fox completely pimped-the-fuck-out! Man, this is cool. Talk about customization! This is definitely a really interesting aspect. I never would've thought of it.

Also there totally should be mode where you can fight with your stickeder-up characters. Obviously it wouldn't be as popular, but it would kind-of relate to DBZ Budokai. General character templates, in this case more than general, with specific stats and such updated.

Awesome.

Kotaku covered the link and has a better picture showing Ness--I assumed first I heard this that people were just seeing blurry images of the Pokemon trainer, but the second screenshot definitely looks more like Ness, plus it's for the Klaus sticker. Much more believable.

Three New SSBB Characters Accidentally Leaked? (http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/kotaku/full/~3/220330943/three-new-ssbb-characters-accidently-leaked) - Kotaku

I'd say that all of this is pretty close to definite at this point. I won't say out-and-out confirmed, but I'm not going to be surprised when any of these characters are announced.

Also, no Mewtwo in that collection of Pokemon characters on that first screen. Doesn't bode well for his return. Glad to see Jigglypuff back, though.

: Yeah, not confirmed 100%, but good evidence for her inclusion. In the how to play vid on the Japanese Wii page, when they're showing the stickers, they show a huge sticker. If you recall, large stickers are very powerful and character specific. Then there's also the one girl who listed as one of the voices she did for Brawl in her resume (along with Samus and ZSS).

: Not much here, but there was that interview with the one guy that's working on Brawl who accidentally said name. The interview was from E for All.

I'm almost 100% sure that every character will be playable in SSE. It'd make no sense on Nintendo's part to make such a great single player game but to exclude some peoples' favorite characters. I'm fairly sure that the bad guys in SSE (such as Bowser, King DeDeDe) are being mind controlled and that you can play as them once you beat them in SSE.

And if you think about it, that game must have had everyone unlocked. They would have made sure to show those screens before unlocking if that wasn't the case. To me it seems like a slip up and that they forgot about the stickers. Don't get me wrong. I'd love for to make a comeback, but it doesn't seem likely at this point.

Hopefully I'm wrong.

Wow, ignorant...Mewtwo, like Pichu, Mr. Game & Watch, and a handful of others, requires a little more practice to be good with.  He was a unique character, and I rather enjoy playing as him.  It's even more fun when I beat doubters who later say "What?  You won with MEWTWO?!"

One of the things I love most about Smash Bros. is that all the playable characters have potential to be good.  It all depends on how the person using them handles their unique abilities.  Now I hope Mewtwo comes back so I can make you eat those words...

hahaha, who gives a shit about mewtwo??

He was the worst and least fun character in the game. If you set him as a level 9 CPU opponent in Melee, he would self-KO on most stages more often than he got knocked off by any sort of effort on your part. I'm pretty sure nobody is going to seriously care for more than 5 seconds if Mewtwo is taken out.

To casual players Mewtwo is crap, just like to casual players Hugo is crap in 3s, and Tizoc is crap in MOTW.
While yes, to pro players, they are still crap, you can still win tournaments with them, you just need to practice an assload more than you would with the other characters, and have to work harder to achieve the same things the better ones can do just that much easier.

Edit: and 9 times out of 10, casual players don't want to invest that time into practicing with a crap guy, so...

...dude, do you even PLAY with any actual casual players? Because the ones I've played with loved Mewtwo because he's frickin' Mewtwo. Evillest and most notorious-for-being powerful of all Pokemon. They don't think in terms of combos and tiers, they think in terms of "I saw a movie with Mewtwo in it, and he made Pikachu cry!"

9 times out of 10 my ass. 9 times out of 10, casual players will pick the character that they think looks the coolest, or the one they recognize the most.

I want Mewtwo back because he was a character with an original moveset, and isn't "dark-link/mario/samus/pikachu."

I don't think all characters will be playable in subspace. I mean, you only get to play certain parts with certain characters right? So it's possible we won't even get to play as bowser or Wario. In that sense there might not be stickers for bowser, mewtwo, dedede, wario, ridley, etc...

At least I hope anyways, I really want Mewtwo back.

Yeah, that's a random button, which is completely useless. They should have made it just like they did in Melee. All this does is waste space.

And I was wrong. This isn't the starting roster. If you look at the very bottom of the screen, it has a character specific score and then a cumulative score. The character specific score is 0 but the total score isn't, which means the story mode has been played already and characters were unlocked.

I'm not too worried about the size of the current roster screen.  In a Melee game with no data, the icons on the roster only show four secret character slots, and I think they took up more space, too. It started shrinking as characters were added to the outskirts, if I remember correctly.  It's been awhile, though...

Ahh, finally, a random button.  I wonder if I can leave my token on it and my character will be randomized every time...that would improve it over the Melee's "sort of random" corner selection...

And, as far as today's Dojo update goes, Manaphy is absolutely crazy.  Since I do my best to learn all the characters well, this is going to be a lot fun for me.  It's...the ol' switcheroo...

You know, i've been thinking about something. With the coming of the Mii's with the
wii, and the fact you can make them look like yourself...

What good reason do they have NOT to include a Mii character? I mean, it's not really
complicated to make up a moveset for a Mii, and of course not matter what the mii
looks like, the moveset would always be the same.

I'm not sure this has been mentioned yet, so if it has, Je'm excuse.

But about new character space, there really isn't anything to worry about. Remember in melee, there was only...6 greyed out spaces? (correct me if i'm wrong) and then there was room for a whole new row AND 4(?) more characters on the side

Well, in the Samurai Goroh update, you can see his symbol, so that might be a sign (also why would they announce Goroh as an assist first over Falcon. If Falcon would have been an assist, I'm sure he would have been announced before Goroh)

Also in the 5min how to play movie, you can see the Red Alloy guy pulling off some of Falcon's moves, kind of like the Male Wireframe from Melee.

Honestly I have to say these recent leaks and this supposed starting roster that looks very convincing have been much more interesting than the real updates. I keep on forgetting what today's was, heh.

And if this is the real starting roster, Its kind of dissapointing imo.

I don't see how they're bland. It's old school Mario in a post-apocalyptic world. It's what they were going for.

And yeah, I agree with you about the music, though I'm sure it'll fit in during gameplay. This seems to be the case for a lot of the music they've shown.

Not necessarily.  Just because they have the Mushroomy Kingdom doesn't mean the Mushroom Kingdom is back.  If anything, I would think this hurts the chances of its return.

This stage looks really neat!  I'm sure the scrolling will be a little annoying no matter how leisurly the pace is, but it's cool that they have both World 1-1 and 1-2.  If only...they had them all...

The latest Iwata Asks regarding networking might have revealed a few things:

1.  Random matchmaking online can allow for team battles, but team choices are randomized.

(from Iwata Asks - Part 3: Versus, Co-op, Share)

2.  It's possible a more fulfilling stage builder than previously thought might be apparent here.  At least based on the commentary Sakurai makes and having moved stage design away from the likes of Big Blue and Poke Floats yet looks to the stage builder as a means to "fill the gap."

(from Iwata Asks - Part 3: Stage Builder)

3.  Though it may have been a mistake, Sakurai mentions that players can record entire matches as well as bonuses like Break the Targets to send to friends.  When first announced I think it was something like, up to 3 minutes could be recorded and saved, so unless that has changed maybe it was a slip up of sorts.

I didn't know you knew how to wavedash. Pretty cool stuff. Hope you get Brawl asap. I need a good GW rival.

The bat drop will remain if they keep the same item mechanics as they did in Melee (and SSB64 if I'm not mistaken). I wouldn't be too worried about it either way though. With the boundary they've set up to prevent you from knocking the sandbag off the platform, it should be easier to get really high percentages.

I'm a little disappointed with the Masterpieces. It's doubtful I'll ever play these games, as I did not in Animal Crossing when they did the same thing.

It's a cool idea I guess, but we all have wii shop, and we can all go buy them off VC and play the whole thing. Seems a little like a waste of space.

Btw, supposedly a few other characters were confirmed, you can look them up. And I don't think the Fire Emblem masterpiece has anything to do with Marth specifically, more likely Sakurai is implying that it's the best in the series.

I look forward to the F-Zero X demo. (even though I already have the game)
Since that's where most of the F-Zero characters showed up, and were best represented. (Given I'm expecting Black Shadow to show up, but that's just me)

Anyhow,
I happened to come across these demo match videos on shoryuken forums (I snoop around there often heh)
Apparently stores in Japan have a demo, perhaps we might get one sometime?

Yeah, DeDeDe's chaingrab looks broken. He can do it at low-mid percentages from what I saw (and possibly even higher). His hammer has long ass range too. Pretty cool though. Kirby looks damn good now. I used to main him in SSB64 and I might end up picking him up again since he's unnerfed.

As for the demo, supposedly Gamestop might be getting them in a week or two (according to some kid that works at a gamestop). Hope it's true.

DeDeDe looks better than I thought; he's actually not that slow, which is great. Ike looks really fun, too, and so does Pokemon trainer. I am so so so glad they got rid of Kirby's side-A, the fire run was really annoying in Melee.

Does anyone think Sakurai attempted to remove the glitches that were exploited at E for All and the other shows?
I know there was a big group of people doing nothing but looking for things like wavedashing and etc... If I brought a game to a show and people picked it apart like that I'd probly be a little irritated.

But since he did remove some of the glitches from Melee, do you think they've been checking to see what glitches we've found and tried to remove them?

yeah, because we al know that fun is the same for everyone in anything ever.

i'm pretty sure back in the 90s (actually still today) people would hate you for doing things that are IN THE GAME to them that they couldn't get over with, so they told you not to do it (ie: camping, throwing/spamming things in fighting games, repeating the same sequence over and over, etc.) and yet that was okay to strip those games down because HEY YOU ARE ALLOWING PEOPLE TO HAVE FUN.

also i'm pretty sure you have no idea why items have to be disabled in order to make the game not bullshit for tournaments so why are you even bothering. hell, why are you even talking about it if you're never gonna do it anyway??

edit: seriously, you're saying that stuff like this (http://youtube.com/watch?v=WowKCUQX4v4) is 1: not fun 2: not good just because OH GOD NO ITEMS AND ONLY 20 OUT OF 25 STAGES ARE ALLOWED?

not really. both gets you the same result at one point or another, you'll win or lose by using or not using them. remember when i got 2nd place in GW Soldat because everyone thought camping was gay and couldn't deal with it? i even got belross (who was considered one of the best on gw at the time) something like 24-14, and i had played Soldat at the most for around 40 hours tops in cumulative time. the fact that it started a HEATED FLAME WAR about the use of such tactic is worthless, what counts is that BJB and myself won by camping and abusing glitches in the game and the others lost.

so really i'm not against using STUFF IN GAMES to win, i'm all for abusing them actually. why do you think i play and like fighting games so much?

Quote

it's not about using the items for their intended purpose actually.

the game has a really really bad spawning code which makes some items spawn and explode as soon as they appear. this can happen to boxes, pills and barrels, and they have a tendency to spawn very close to players. explosions are guaranteed 1-hit KO on 99% of the cast (the only one being able to actually survive, but not come back, is Bowser).

so basically, look at it this way. you're playing a game, any game, and you're winning. now out of nowhere, something appears in front of you and kills you without any input from the other player, making you lose the lead or the entire match. wouldn't that piss you off? and out of necessity, wouldn't you want that fixed or removed? that's what the community had to do to get rid of that kind of bullshit. people argued that if they were going to disable a few items, they might as well disable every of them, and the standard was accepted.

edit: i know it sounds like i'm contradicting myself in here but i'm really not. i'm all for using and abusing stuff that is WELL WITHIN the players' grasp (camping, throwing, taunting) and within the confines of the actual game (so no cheating or physical harm), but when something YOU CANNOT CONTROL AT ALL risks of damaging the game, it's really fine to try and disable or fix that thing.

not if it was part of the game and altered a huge amount of the rest of the game as well.

not really, crits are random yeah but every one has access to them at least a few times per match. it also doesn't GUARANTEE that you will get a kill, you still have to hit the guy with your upcoming hit or whatever.

the box glitch is very different in that way because it's completely random, could happen or not happen at all in any match, could happen once to one of the players or a bunch of times to everyone or a bunch of time to only one person, and literally destroys any hope of the game being taken seriously by anyone (i'm pretty sure MLG officials were the first to come up with the idea, or people close to the MLG staff).

in that way of thinking, EX Grooves should be allowed in Capcom vs SNK2, Link/Spawn/Heiachi/Necrid/Charade should be allowed in Soul Calibur 2 and CS1.6 games should be played 24-on-24 instead of 5-on-5 on a very small number of maps because HEY IT'S ALL PART OF THE GAME YOU WILL CRIPPLE IT IF YOU DON'T USE THOSE.

I've never played Team Fortress 2 but I guess you're talking about critical hits? These are pretty different in the sense that such things are massively (more or less) distributed equally among the players, and randomness is predictable in that it equals out in the end if only you iterate it often enough. It's for this reason that the slightly random attack damage in Warcraft III doesn't matter either, for example.

Glitches that "need to be fixed" are bad to competitive gameplay because they aren't common or because their effect is too severe.

EDIT: by the way, you can disagree with this if you don't like the idea: that's perfectly reasonable. But remember that I'm talking about competitive gaming, not casual gaming. This is the standard because competition needs to be fair.

I fucking hate Mewtwo King. My Marth will never be as good as his. Oh well. At least I wear deodorant.

About the purposely removing glitches thing...no, I don't think he did it on purpose. Sakurai and the staff were well aware of the competitive scene (they mentioned it in a few articles I've read before) but if they wanted to get rid of wavedashing, they could have done it without messing around with the air dodging mechanics. They could have just made it so you can't airdodge the split second you jump off the ground, but they didn't, so I'm pretty sure that it just took care of itself when the air dodge mechanics were changed. Plus, the competitive scene is about 3-5% of all Smash players, so I don't think they'd remove it on purpose because it would only affect a small portion of their audience.

Besides, you can still waveland, and if they knew about wavedashing, they would have known about wavelanding. L-cancelling is supposed to be cut in Brawl as well, but two things make me think it wasn't to intentionally kill the competitive scene. First, they knew about it in SSB64 (although it was an accident) and decided to include it in Melee on purpose (but made it reduce lag by half instead of completely removing it like in SSB64). Second, although they've removed it in Brawl, characters still have very little lag after landing aerial attacks, making it seem as if they've just made it automatic.

But anyways, some news and videos taken from smashboards:
--You can pick which pokemon you start off as from the character select screen (or you can keep it random).

Those look great, Sarhan. I'll check 'em right after this post. Man, i've just got to personally thank you for posting every video link to this topic! I would have no clue about half of anything I know had you not been posting all this cool stuff.

Man, Steel and Raziel, you both disagree but it doesn't really matter! Like Dada said, box spawning is completely random and unfair, and it doesn't contribute to a test of skill, which is what the Melee competitions are. You aren't better at a game just because the game decided to spawn an item on your opponent; that's why items were banned. Now, I would never play the game without items or stages. I'm the opposite. I usually have stages on random, and unless I'm testing something or want to play with a specific character, I do random character selection as well.

I'm the same way.  I like keeping all the features of the game open, but I also understand why some prefer the tourny rules.  I'll admit, it's kinda ridiculous taking a video game seriously, but that doesn't stop people from doing it.  Competitive play has its own appeals that differ from those of casual play, and part of what makes Smash Bros. so great is that it can easily accomodate both styles, and everything inbetween.

There has to be a LOT of friend slots, because I'm planning on participating in GW tourneys and stuff, and I also have to get all my other friends and family members. Getting all these numbers will be a hard time, too.

3.  Though it may have been a mistake, Sakurai mentions that players can record entire matches as well as bonuses like Break the Targets to send to friends.  When first announced I think it was something like, up to 3 minutes could be recorded and saved, so unless that has changed maybe it was a slip up of sorts.

(from Iwata Asks - Part 3: Super Smash Bros. Spectator)

Well, the latest update kills that theory as it reconfirms the 3 minute limit.  Although it mentions that regular brawls, home run contests, target smash and multiman brawls are all compatible with the record/replay mode.

Basically, we're sure Animal Crosser is not playable, but unsure whether Sakurai is talking about a character or a trophy in reference to WW Link.


Also, what's with the updates coming so late? I suppose the image load has to do with it.

For something to be an advanced technique doesn't mean that it has to be a glitch/bug. It's advanced because it's hard to pull off consistently until you get the hang of it, and even then, each character requires different timing.

So you're wrong, whether they knew about it or not, it's still an advanced technique. Just because it's in the manual doesn't mean it's not advanced. It's an advanced technique, and probably one of the most advanced because it is harder to perform than wavedashing. The only thing that's tougher would be either SHFFLs, Samus's missile cancels, or Fox/Falcos little shine combos.

By the way, I've never owned SSB64 or Melee, so I'm unsure if they mention l-cancelling in either manual or not, but I remember people telling me that it wasn't included in the SSB64 manual. Not saying you're wrong, but just pointing that out.

Oh, I got ya. Yeah, I agree with you there. It's also funny when they call it cheating even though the developers knew about it and kept it in the game.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Well, the latest update kills that theory as it reconfirms the 3 minute limit.  Although it mentions that regular brawls, home run contests, target smash and multiman brawls are all compatible with the record/replay mode.
By the way, that CIVILIZATIO"N" thing in your sig is really, really, really, really, really clever.

He's an unlockable. If you notice, they only show the basic characters in the intro vid just like they did in Melee. They won't show all of the characters because people would know who's in right after the first cutscene.

You guys seriously have doubts of him returning? He's more of a shoe-in than and he just made the cut.

Moveset is completely different. They even changed his B attack to make him less similar to Ike. Oh, and compared to himself in Melee, he's faster and has less startup lag, but his range seems to be somewhat reduced. Fuck yes.

It would be an utter waste if he was.
There are plenty of other characters in Metroid that could be resigned to bosses due to really not working as playable, I'm looking at you Kraid, Crocomire, Mother Brain etc etc.
The Mother Brain right would work quite well.
The inclusion of Charizard single handedly takes down complaints about Ridley not working as a playable character, and Ridley is a much more deserving character due to Metroid being under represented. (Zero Suit Samus is not good enough, especially since she's a transformation).

Well, I really hope that isn't the final character to be revealed because I think that are enough for that franchise. I mean, there's only so much variance that you can include for those kinds of characters. I'm really keeping my fingers crossed for something really crazy like . :gwa:

do you know how super smash brothers works

Yeah, Nintendo generates massive hype on a Legion level and slowly trickles out worthless bullshit that gets all the fanboys panties in a jumble and OH GOD THIS CHARACTER WHO I DEFINITELY KNOW WILL PROBABLY BE A CHARACTER ACTUALLY IS A CHARACTER!11!!11

I'm gonna start hitting the report button every time someone mentions something about a video game that isn't "lol officially mentioned" on the box art or official page.  If you so much as even tell me that sephiroth will be in the next kingdom hearts (even though everyone knows he will be because square is predictable like every other retarded developer) then I will spam hit the report button and bitch and whine because you spoiled the game for me.

And yes, by telling me sephiroth is in the game you spoiled the game for me.  it's not official.  it's a spoiler.

oh shut the fuck up are you serious?

sephiroth is not an UNLOCKABLE CHARACTER and he was in the previous games so that's not a spoiler at all.  you know maybe some people want to come into this topic and talk about super smash brothers without knowing that is in it because maybe they want to find that out for themselves???

granted handing out warns for not putting something in spoilers is kinda silly although i'll bet they were just verbal warns in which case i take that back so in conclusion my point is that characters are spoilers ok.

well that isnt a good example but the one marcus spoiled (which was pretty much the only one i managed to avoid seeing up until now thanks) is a smash brothers newcomer so it kind of sucks yeah.

Then what's the point of having a topic DISCUSSING a game when all discussion leads to something that you don't want to find out?

I can't believe people are crying that "nintendo X" character didn't get in.  I thought the whole reason people loved smash bros is because it's actually a well balanced fightan gaym.  3 dozen characters kinda makes things hard to balance.  I already hated the whole TIER discussion with Melee... now it's going to be twice as bad with Brawl.

man, most people don't even consider SSBM a fighting game, which is just sad, most people play it at a casual level and don't even know/care that tiers exist

mayeb it should be broken though, MvC2 has like 60+ guys and only 6 or so are used in tournaments, but it sees play like mad good.

I don't blame them.  Whenever fightan gayms are discussed you get that crowd of people who will bight your head off because you prefer to play with a joystick instead of a joypad and the guys who find exploits to every moves like the whole wave dash phenomenon.  Fightan gaym fans are some of the most ferociously competitive vidya gaym players... EVER.  Not even armchair generals, halofags, or even counterstrikefags measure up to fightan gaym players.

Ok I do see what you mean though.
I still think the game will be great, and I only really hoped for one more character.
But his absence wont cause me to never play the game or anything.

Just thought I should mention that before I get the living hell poked the fun out of. :/
I definitely wouldn't want this to be like MVC2.

Also c'mon guys don't start this whole Competitive vs Casual thing AGAIN.
To each his own.

it's been pretty confirmed that is a clone since he shares a smash with the other nintendo character of that series.

also these spoilers are actually getting irritating as shit and since the game came out in Japan already I don't see why we are still using them.

just rollover the spoilers for chrissakes.  It's not as if an obscure character like Mike Jones from StarTropics being playable will blow the very foundations of your mind or anything.  You can't even call them "leaks" anymore since the game is already out.

But you want a generalization?  I'll give you a generalization.  Every character has appeared on a Nintendo console before.  There.  There's your SPOILER FREE generalization.

it might actually be worth it to make this topic with spoilers since honestly I dont think ANYONE cares about the Dojo updates anymore barring the few who don't want anything spoiled, and keep a warning in the title.

if there is actually a want for a spoiler free topic, let someone else create it, but honestly the only reason I came to this topic EVER was to see new update shit and since the game is out, I'd rather know what's in it and confirmed instead of the slow "whoa...this could be challenging, but fun" stuff from the Dojo.

it's no big deal to me but it makes sense?

To elaborate more; none of the new characters are surprising.  If you sit down and think to yourself for about 5 minutes and say 'what would nintendo include to please the fans and make things fun' i guarantee you will narrow down a list almost instantly.

Considering appeared in Mario Kart DS with some considerable aplomb and is only mildly surprising because Nintendo has been trying their HARDEST to revive the dying franchise.  The characters that really surprised me was .  I honestly thought Nintendo completely abandoned like they do with all their other good ideas.

Speaking of which, I want EVERYONE IN THIS TOPIC to play as as much as you can.  Maybe Nintendo will finally get it through their fat skulls that people actually want a localized version of .  God, I hate Nintendo.

No, I was gonna start shit with Marcus, but decided not to.

I never said I disliked the game. I think it's a pretty decent series and this one looks good as well. I think everyone jerking off over it is ridiculous and 90% of the posts made have been useless, but my opinion on how a topic is run has nothing to do with what I feel about the topic at hand.

I can completely disagree with how someone is handling something and still agree with the basic idea!

but yeah seriously spoilers are completely unnecessary at this point, the game is out and while I understood spoilers previously, now pretty much everything has been found!

The Wii isn't region free. The only way to play Japanese imports is by using a CycloWii or Wiikey.
Then there's also the possibility of it just not working, with or without the modchip.

I'll keep you updated, I can probably find out wether or not it's playable within a day's time.

Edit: Make that two. The community I'm in doesn't know the specifics either, seen how it's
originally scheduled to come out tomorrow. Whoever leaked it in japan was sure to not distribute
it to the outside world.

Post by: Artis Leon Ivey Jr on January 30, 2008, 05:50:04 pm
Greetings fellow Smash fans, it appears the onslaught brought about the roster revelation has finally come upon us. The next several weeks will be dark days laced with much poisonous emotions and the venom of hate and the bitterness of disappointment. This wave of hate and melancholy is another misfortunate circumstance of history repeating itself. My thread about the Melee roster leak showed exactly how we Smash fans reacted to the Melee roster over six years ago. However, I would not believe the reactions would escalate to this scale. It hurts me that the roster did not live up to most people’s expectations, however, it hurts me even more to see my fellow forum members stricken with the disease of what happens when the dreams of a fanboy are deferred. Hear me out and let these words of reason and of hope pave a path in the tunnel of bitterness and resentment.

Six years ago, many people were feeling the same emotions you are all feeling now. Disbelief, hate, disgust, sadness, and disappointment. How could rejects like Dr. Mario, Young Link, and Pichu get in over real Nintendo stars like Wario, Diddy Kong, and King Dedede? Surely, this roster was nothing more than a ruse for lolz by a few jokers. Even when reality set in, people still clung onto hope. There were two empty slots of the character selection screen, surely there were two more super hidden characters in Melee. Even myself, was taken in by this hope. Many people believed their character of choice to take up one of these two empty spots on the character selection screen. However, as history and reality would tell us, there were no more characters in Melee. People reluctantly accepted the demon roster, and looked to the brighter side of things, such as Ganondorf, Falco, and Mewtwo all being playable characters. When Melee finally landed in the hands on North American gamers, the roster was vindicated in the eyes of most people as seeing all of the massive improvements it had over the original. Many people also fell in love with characters that they did not even know about such as Marth and Roy, for some even Mr. Game & Watch (I myself was pleasantly surprised that he made it).

I believe there are several reasons why most people are disappointed with the 35-character roster. One is that the wait from Melee was over six years, whereas the wait from the original to Melee was less than three. Many people were expecting the kind of massive increase there was from the original to Melee to carry over to Brawl. Many people were also expecting that there would fair representation of Nintendo’s series. Here are the complaints I see the Brawl roster is getting. Star Fox getting three representatives when it is a series that shouldn’t have three in a roster of 35 due to it being a series with only five installments, and a massive decline in sales and popularity. Metroid getting stuck with only Samus again despite the massive resurrection the series it had since Melee’s release and Ridley himself being the most wanted newcomer among North American Smash fans. Mother getting two representatives despite being a series with only three installments (only one of which left Japan), and also declared over by its own creator (Itoi). Fire Emblem only getting two characters again, despite the series being much more popular and having fans all over the world when in contrast to prior to Melee when it was only a Japan-only series and only had fans in Japan for the most part. Popular retro characters such as Little Mac, Takamaru, Sukapon, and Mike Jones getting shafted for the likes of R.O.B., who is not much of surprise considering that he was an unlockable for Mario Kart DS. F-Zero being ignored in a big way, and being the only series from the original Smash Bros. (besides Yoshi which is a spin off series basically) without a second playable representative, despite it having spawned more games than Star Fox and Mother and as well as having a 50 episode anime. Series such as Custom Robo and Advance Wars (and Golden Sun as well) are also left without a playable representative, when Sakurai very well knows having a playable character for one of these two series would boosted the popularity and sales of the games of these series. Characters with quite a bit of popularity such as Mewtwo and Roy are cut, whereas Young Link gets to return (albeit under a different name). Mario losing a character from Melee, and not having a character to replace that loss, despite Mario not losing any popularity since Melee. The fact that only one new female character was added to Brawl (ZSS), and that there were more females added in the original (Samus and Jigglypuff) and Melee (Peach, Zelda, and Sheik), despite him hinting that he wanted more, and ironically enough, there are less female to male characters in Brawl than the previous two Smash games. The idea that the majority of the hidden characters can already be played in Melee. It is the combination of all of these grievances that have lead us to the massive pit of woes we are in right now.

Here are my three personal grievances with the Brawl roster. One is the exclusion of Ridley. Yes, I am a big Ridley fan. I have longed to play as Ridley ever since I saw the Melee opening back in May of 2001. I have been a fan of Ridley dating back all the way to 1994, when I played Super Metroid for the first time. He was just this awesome dragon-creature, and when I saw that he actually won in Super Metroid’s intro, it was something completely new to me. Up til that point, I always believed that the character you played as would always defeat the boss you are fighting, but Ridley won (keep in mind I was seven years old at the time, and up til that point my game library consisted mostly of platformers). Super Metroid was just so different from anything that I ever played, that I instantly fell in love with it, and I have been a big Metroid fan ever since. After seeing Ridley in the Melee intro, I was convinced he would be a playable character, and that he would be used to promote the upcoming Metroid game on the GameCube. However, reality would dictate that Metroid did not have the popularity yet to warrant another playable character. After the Melee roster was revealed, I kept hope that Ridley would be a playable character in the next Smash Bros. Ridley’s popularity got a huge boost between those years thanks to the massive resurrection that the Metroid series got, and also due to a new generation of gamers being able to see the awesome that was Ridley. Support for Ridley to enter as a playable character in the next Smash Bros. skyrocketed. Pretty soon he was the most requested character for Brawl, second only to Sonic. It was due to the massive resurrection and new found popularity of the Metroid series as well as Ridley’s massive popularity that made me confident that Brawl would be Ridley’s time. Unfortunately, with the leak of the Brawl roster, it seems Metroid is getting the shaft yet again. I am hoping that the next development team for Smash Bros. 4 realizes their error of making Ridley only a boss, and decide to make him a playable character in the next Smash Bros.

Another grievance I have with the roster is one that many people will probably disagree with me on. I am disappointed that Roy did not return as a playable character. Its true that Roy got into Melee as a playable character in order to advertise the upcoming Fire Emblem: Sword of Seals for the Game Boy Advance, which was released more than four months after Melee’s Japanese release. Roy was one of the two characters that I mained in Melee (the other being Samus). When I first saw Marth and Roy in the Melee roster leak, I did not really have an opinion of them, since I did not know them. I tried Marth first, but I did not really like using him (I really tried to get into Mr. Game & Watch but I just found him a bit too weak). I tried Roy and I liked what how he played. He had good knock-back, average speed and average weight, as well some nice fire effects going on. Slowly, I would use Roy more and more and would learn how to utilize all of his moves. Pretty soon, I mained him along with Samus. However, Roy’s influence on me did not stop there, Roy also made me get interested in the Fire Emblem series. Once I picked up a Fire Emblem game for the first time, I instantly fell in love with it. Fire Emblem would later become one of my favorite series ever. If it had not been for Roy, I probably would have never have picked up a Fire Emblem game, as well as many other people. I understand that Roy’s purpose was mainly as an advertisement, however, he holds a special place in my heart for getting me into what is arguably one of Nintendo’s best series. I thought a lot of the hate he got was unfair, and if he had been a top-tier character in Melee, he would probably have done a Sheik in which, although they are no longer important characters in their respective series, they get to return due to their popularity among Smash fans. I think Sakurai’s team should have at least have had used Eliwood as a proper replacement to Roy. However, it seems that Fire Emblem only has Marth and Ike representing it. I hope Roy returns as a playable character in the next Smash, and I will valiantly support him no matter what anybody says.

My third and final grievance with the Brawl roster is how there is hardly any surprise to it. There are only four unknown newcomers (one of which being Young Link with a new name and moveset). I think Sakurai should have instead opted to make most of the already revealed newcomers hidden and should have never showed them on the Dojo to begin with. I also think he should have made most of the hidden veterans such as Captain Falcon, Ness, Marth, and Mr. Game & Watch, starting characters. Also no new active Nintendo series made up one of the hidden character slots. I feel that Advance Wars and Custom Robo are long overdue for a playable representative, and that a playable representative for one of those two series would help introduce many more people to those two series.

With my grievances expressed, allow me to show you the good news in this. Brawl’s roster is basically what people dreamed Melee’s roster to be. Many people were expecting Melee’s roster to be in the late 20's, perhaps going to the early 30's. Many of the fan-favorites of that failed to get in Melee have made it into Brawl. Wario, Pit, King Dedede, Meta Knight, Diddy Kong, Pokemon Trainer (at least in Japan), and Wolf were all highly requested characters for Melee that have made it into Brawl as playable characters. Brawl’s roster has basically fulfilled the wishlists of Melee’s roster, and I feel that Smash 4's roster will be the same. Characters such as Krystal and Ridley I think will be shoe-ins for Smash Bros. 4. However, there are some characters who due to their failure to get into the Brawl roster will probably never get in as a playable character in a future Smash Bros. game. I like to call these “now or never” characters. Examples of three “now or never” characters that succeeded into getting Brawl are Lucario, Ike, and Toon Link. These characters are at the height of their popularity due to the acclaim of their games which were released recently. Characters that were very popular prior to Melee but were no-where near as requested for Brawl were Skull Kid, Banjo-Kazooie, Toad, and Waluigi. There is something that I would like to call Skull Kid Syndrome. Skull Kid Syndrome is the term I use to describe a character whose best chances for getting into a Smash Bros. game as a playable character failed, and for the following game have less popularity and a lesser chance of getting in due to being a one-shot character. Popular Brawl characters that looks to get Skull Kid Syndrome for Smash Bros. 4 include Midna, Micaiah, Dark Samus, and Isaac (unless he is made into the main protagonist of Golden Sun 3). Since it is likely that these characters will probably never star in another game, their chances of ever getting into the Smash Bros. series as playable characters have come and gone. I am sorry, but this is a harsh reality. However, I do have some good news for Masked Boy fans. Since Ness and Lucas are both Psychic-users, it is likely that if a third character is decided for the next Smash Bros. they will likely look into a more unique and important character (not simply another party member like Poo, Kumatora, or Jeff), both of which the Masked Boy fits. Also, if Mother 3 gets released internationally in some form as a result of Lucas’s inclusion in Brawl, this will make Masked Boy known to even more fans, and thus making his chances of entering as a playable character for Smash Bros. 4 higher than Brawl possibly. I have some other ideas on how other characters chances will be improved or decreased over the course of the next several years, though I feel I am going a bit off track with this discussion of Smash Bros. 4.

As many of you may or may not know, a lot of characters and features that were in Brawl were originally intended for Melee. Lucas was originally intended to replace Ness, however, due to the cancellation of EarthBound 64, Ness returned. Sonic and Snake were both supposed to be in Melee, however, the game would have had to been delayed in order to make the legal arrangements and movesets for both of their inclusions. Stuff such as stickers and Assist Trophies were also both originally planned for Melee. Sakurai also originally intended to make Adventure Mode in Melee a full-fledged game, but was forced by Miyamoto to instead focus on the multiplayer aspects of the game. To sum it all up, Brawl is basically what Melee was supposed to be.

Now on for my next point of discussion. Contrary, to popular belief, most of Brawl’s roster was decided by the fans. Character such as Sheik, Ness, and Falco probably would not have returned if it had not been for their massive popularity in Melee (especially in the case of Sheik). If Mewtwo and Roy had been top-tier characters there would have been a really good chance that both would have returned in Brawl as playable characters. Sakurai did not want to upset the hard-core gamers who main these characters, so he made them return in Brawl and also gave some new moveset (as in the case of Falco and Ness). He finally put in long-requested characters such as Wario, Meta Knight, and King Dedede. He even put in some of the more hardcore choices such as Pit and Pokemon Trainer. He even managed to put in some recently popular characters such as Captain Olimar, Ike, and Lucario. There is a chance that Sonic would not have made it into Brawl had it not been for the massive support he had among Western Smash fans. However, Sakurai’s listening to the fans was also a double-edged sword. Clones were hated by the Smash fanbase. Contrary to popular belief the amount of clones in Melee was not due to there being a time constraint, but rather they had some extra time to do it (Sakurai even mentioned in on the Japanese poll on the old Brawl site that he unintentionally reached 26 characters in Melee). Sakurai was either going to add one more non-clone character to Melee, or six clones, and he thought that Smash fans would enjoy the six clones more. I think the main grievance people had with clones were the choices, such as Dr. Mario, Young Link, and Pichu. Other than that, I don’t think anyone would have objected if we got five clones in Brawl’s roster in conjunction with the 35 non-clone characters. It is for this reason (the hatred of clones), that I think Sakurai did not add any more characters with the extra delay time (NyaseNya reported on the 35 character number in mid-November, two months would be more than enough time to add a handful of clones). So basically in a way, we are partly responsible for the 35 character roster.

As for the people saying that they are cancelling getting Brawl as a result of the 35 character roster, please don’t dismiss Brawl until you have played it. There were many people who felt the same way about Melee’s roster when it was revealed. However, the main game more than made up for the “sub-par” roster in many people eyes, and Melee became much more popular than its earlier installment. We are getting online, new gameplay mechanics (Final Smashes and Assist Trophies), a Stage Creator (which even allows you to trade them online, offering massive replay value), and an Adventure Mode that could stand alone as its own game (though I have a really strong feeling that the SSE is the reason why we ended up with a 35-character roster and Ridley and Mewtwo not being playable). Brawl smokes Melee in terms of content hands-down. I, too think much of the roster decisions were poorly conceived, however, I will reserve judgement on Brawl until I play it, much like everyone else should. I really wish Ridley was in as a playable character (looks like I am going to have to wait another half-decade in order to play as him), and I really wish Roy returned as a playable character, however, I am going to play Brawl for what it is, and hope that it blows away Melee, much like Melee blew away the original.

Six years was a long time. I went through a lot of hell between these six years, and I sure most of you have as well. Nearly every day that went by since Brawl was announced that I was thinking about Brawl’s potential roster, and now that we finally know it I am a tad disappointed. I spent hours upon hours writing massive analyses for characters that might make up our roster. Much of my predictions came true, however, some of them didn’t (such as Mewtwo returning). I am a bit happy that I had a hand in the Brawl roster leak. As many of you may or may not know, I was the first one to put together the 35-character roster based off of what NyaseNya, ChaosZero, Serebii, and ShadowXOR said after seeing correlations between what they were saying. I put most of the roster together as early as mid-December, with only two or three spots being unknown to me. Had my list not been submitted to Reno and MarkMan, we would probably still have been speculating who made up the 35 character roster leading up to the eventual roster leak. I think putting together the roster so early did both harm and good. It did harm in that it made some people abandon their dreams of their favorite character being playable as early as last week, and it did good by giving Smash fans an idea on what to expect and help better cope with it. It will be interesting years from now to see myself writing my own username in the history of the Brawl roster leak when Smash Bros. 4 is only a month from release. Other than that, I am sorry for all of you who are deeply disappointed in the roster, and I hope that Sakurai’s team begins drawing up plans for characters in Smash 4 soon after Brawl is released, that way there will be a possibility of there being 50+ character roster in that game.

That ends this very long essay on my thoughts on the Brawl roster. I am hoping that you have read the points that I brought up and I hope what I wrote has made you feel better about Brawl. As for me? When I came to SmashBoards, I said I came here primarily to analyze Brawl’s potential roster. Now that Brawl’s roster has been unveiled, there would be little sense for Brawl potential roster analyst such as myself staying, right? I have long contemplated whether to leave SmashBoards after the reveal of the roster. Since both Ridley and Roy did not make it, there is no board really for me. However, I might decide to stick around for two things. One would be that there are a lot of friends that I have made on SmashBoards and I think they might be disappointed if I left. Two, I feel as though I failed the Knights of Elibe (a Roy fan group here on SmashBoards) due to Roy no longer being a playable character (though this was really out of my control, I do feel a guilt that I did not do enough to change people’s opinion on Roy even though I am the leader of the organization). I might stick around to slowly change people’s hearts and minds on Roy, and maybe he might become a highly requested character to return by the time Smash Bros. 4 comes out. However, I am not sure whether the latter is attainable goal, though I will try my best. People of SmashBoards it was a fun time speculating the roster. I hope many of you will get over your disappointment once you all get to play Brawl.

I wish for peace to be with all of you, and thank you very much for reading my thoughts on the Brawl roster.

have you checked how many times i posted in this topic? like probably 3 at most, all in response to your trolling attempts.

it's not the game i'm defending, it's not about OH NO DON'T MAKE FUN OF MY GAME, it's that you do this bullshit in EVERY GODDAMN VG TOPIC EVER. if someone is waiting for a game then you make fun of him.

seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you? do you have something against people who are eager to play or try new things because their life is probably as bleak and shitty as yours? why the fuck do you actually care what people think about a game and care so much about their shitty opinion so much that you're willing to go out of your way to make fun of them? do you get sexual gratification out of this or what because it seriously boggles my mind that you would go to such lengths just to make fun of people.

also no they're not funny maybe they are if you're a complete mental retard but i guess making fun of people for waiting on something must be some sort of HIGHER INTELLECTUAL HUMOR i cannot hope to comprehend because mayyyyyyyyybeeeeee i'm shit????????

hey wait i'll go make fun of scientists that are hoping that someone gets an answer to unify quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity, they're waiting on something too!

hahaha you're kidding right.

find me anyone, ANYONE, who follows quantum mechanics, politics, any serious issue that you seem to want to relate to Smash Brothers and then posts CANT WAIT as opposed to actual discussion or an update? more importantly, do you realize that a five page single spaced essay on quantum mechanics is not funny where as one on Smash Brothers is? do you realize Smash Brothers is a game about fucking turtles and monkeys fighting anime knights?

what the hell, grow a sense of humor. they are funny jokes about the series and the fans, and if you can't take that, how gay are you?

ps I haven't made fun of anyone in this thread, I got all these from SA and thought people would get a kick out of someone writing a FIVE PAGE ESSAY on Smash Brothers or a cute little MSPaint picture. I had no idea you believe people would empathize with the butt of the joke!

you have like no room to complain.

You pretty much have to learn to overlook most of Steel's posts. He's just a bored kid with too much time on his hands.

yeah that guy has too much time on his hands *refreshes a hundred smash bros sites just to be the first fucking guy to post a roster update shut up forever sarhan*

seriously, it was VERY FUNNY. read this shit here are some quotes:

Quote
There is something that I would like to call Skull Kid Syndrome. Skull Kid Syndrome is the term I use to describe a character whose best chances for getting into a Smash Bros. game as a playable character failed, and for the following game have less popularity and a lesser chance of getting in due to being a one-shot character.

I would use Roy more and more and would learn how to utilize all of his moves. Pretty soon, I mained him along with Samus. However, Roy’s influence on me did not stop there, Roy also made me get interested in the Fire Emblem series. Once I picked up a Fire Emblem game for the first time, I instantly fell in love with it. Fire Emblem would later become one of my favorite series ever. If it had not been for Roy, I probably would have never have picked up a Fire Emblem game, as well as many other people. I understand that Roy’s purpose was mainly as an advertisement, however, he holds a special place in my heart for getting me into what is arguably one of Nintendo’s best series.

I have long contemplated whether to leave SmashBoards after the reveal of the roster. Since both Ridley and Roy did not make it, there is no board really for me. However, I might decide to stick around for two things. One would be that there are a lot of friends that I have made on SmashBoards and I think they might be disappointed if I left. Two, I feel as though I failed the Knights of Elibe (a Roy fan group here on SmashBoards) due to Roy no longer being a playable character (though this was really out of my control, I do feel a guilt that I did not do enough to change people’s opinion on Roy even though I am the leader of the organization).

Six years was a long time. I went through a lot of hell between these six years, and I sure most of you have as well.

it was very funny sorry if you have no idea what humor is.

I know he didn't type it up and I understand that it was meant to be a joke. I'm not "offended" by his posts, but I hate how he comes into every topic and tries to derail it. Because of that, I've learned to overlook most of his posts.

The fact that he also goes out and purposely looks for this kind of shit is also sad. Why waste your time bashing something that doesn't affect you in any way at all?

I don't derail shit. my post was a long essay about the game in question. how is that a derail? find me some derails that weren't mutually agreed on please!!!

also I found it on a message board and it was funny, I didn't look for it at all.

Seriously, you're getting worse than El Nerdo.

My bad for maybe enjoying something that is mixing up an otherwise monotonous and self destructive topic. The horror?

Now that everything is leaked, this topic is pretty much going to be just people who only read the official updates discussing it (all 4 of them) and the people who listened to the leaks going OH YEAH OLD SHITTY UPDATE LOLZ, or people who listened to the updates talking in massive spoilers and theorizing what stuff would be like

SORRY FOR ENJOYING A JOKE THOUGH MAN I SURE AM A TERRIBLE PERSON NOW?

It was a nice change of pace and somewhat funny.

here lemme add to the monotony:
man i sure hope isn't as much of a clone as and that he looks to be, because he sure looks like he is going to be a clone of . I saw a vid where final smash looks to be the exact same as did anyone see this too?? I sure hope this also isn't the case with either, I don't see why they didn't give his and made him be different than the already in-game .

who agrees on my theory

actually this video reminded me that the names are different and there is a lot of characters in this game now (compared to SSB/SSBM) who have different names cross country. I am assuming its region specific online though (like you'll see on your screen, but a JPN guy sees , etc, on the results screen and what not).

It would have been awesome. That's my point. We got all these awesome new characters spoiled pretty early one, and we kept on getting awesome character updates. Now that everythings been leaked, we only got a couple more unexpected characters, and the roster is complete. It feels dissapointing, but it really shouldn't be.

It doesn't happen very often that I can't tell what's going on in a fighting game. But this one is kind of hard to follow at times.

Also, I think it's funny how people complain about dangerousned being off-topic, while in reality those who complain are the only ones that are because they make such a big deal out of it. Instead of bragging about how you're "ignoring his posts", maybe you should just ignore his posts if you don't think they're constructive?

The best thing to do is play a game with ONLY pokeballs and set the frequency to max.

I used to do that too. Or using only land mines in SSB64 at Hyrule temple where they blend in really well. Good times.



I just found that out too. Glad they didn't waste a character by not giving players that option.

As for , he actually isn't that much of a clone from what I've seen. Some of his moves are similar but his up smash and side B look very different from the blurry vid I saw. His FS may be the same though, but I haven't seen that yet. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0H6uRcUADi8)

All in all, there are really only 3-4 clones, which isn't that bad when you consider the size of the roster.

Just to get another discussion going, which controllers will you guys be using? Obviously the GC will be the most HARDCORE or whatever, but I think I might main using the Wiimote sideways. With the grips, it's insanely comfortable.

EDIT: Goddamnit DN put a hide tag on that! I didn't want to know the entire roster, ugh.

Why are people hiding Zero Suit Samus in spoilers?  Uh...she's not one!

I'll be sticking with the Gamecube controller for Brawl.  It's just what I'm most used to, though I may try the other control styles just to see what they're like.  I even went out of my way to track down a bunch of extra Gamecube controllers in case mine start crapping out on me (since they're out of production and all).

*agrees with handsome lamb*

As far as I know I haven't seen anything about "no clones" either.  I've seen it tossed around of course, but with these latest updates, questioning about it has lead to no substantial evidence that it was ever said.  It might have been a fan propagated thing or something lost in translation or something.

As for control type, I still have my Wavebirds handy, but I want to see how the Wii remote/ nunchuck or Wii remote alone work out first.  I don't own a CC so that's out of the question.

Dan is a semi-clone too. There's someone else though...but I can't remember who.

Besides, these clones have very different play styles, even if they do have similar moves. Playing with the same way you would with would get your ass handed to you in Melee and I'm sure that'll be even more true for Brawl since they're trying to differentiate the characters somewhat.

EDIT: Not sure if it's been posted yet, but here's the full roster:

Also, I can't understand why they would basically get rid of 3 clones, and add 3 new ones. The original moveset was the only good thing about , and they went and fucked it up by adding a clone.

Also,

I guess I'm a little pissed that I got my wii with this game in mind, and basically got screwed. I mean, I understand how irrational it is to buy a console for one specific game, but I was totally down for every minute of it until the last 3 or 4 characters were revealed.

How about they make move sets divided into tiers before the game comes out and you through the character skin of your choice over it. Then they could throw thousands of skins and no one can be disappointed that they only have 3 move sets. And then make 3 versions of the game with slightly tweaked features but with the exact same tiny, 1 leveled stage. Now we can really see who is the best

Wait, you say that the game is ruined for you because there are some clone characters.  So... if those clone characters weren't in the game, this game would be so awesome?
Your rational is not that reasonable.

They aren't direct clones. For example, can throw his reflector. pistol is much different than the others, his A attacks are different, I think smashes are different, and his up is different as well. His FS is also not what everyone thinks it is (for now at least). That picture is photoshopped so there's no evidence of it being the same. We'll find out more about that starting tomorrow when all of Japan gets the game.

Think of it this way. The only cuts were . In exchange we got .

The only reason people are upset is because the Dojo already announced most of the characters before the last few were leaked. Think about how much more excited you'd be if the only characters you'd seen before today were Mario, Samus, Pikachu, and Link. You'd be so happy about Meta Knight, Snake, Sonic, Dedede, Olimar, and all the rest. We've all just been spoiled by the Dojo and now the roster doesn't seem that impressive. When you think about it though, it's much better than Melee's was. It'll be a great game and trust me, you won't regret buying your Wii.

Watch the movie that was added to the dojo today. Definitely made me anxious.

Downloadable characters are probably not going to happen. And that's the final roster because after you unlock , you get a message telling you that you've unlocked all the characters.

well in SF2 yeah

now and days Ryu and Ken are nearly the same, with Ken having different supers than Ryu and thats probably about it. Akuma has the air fireball, less defense (takes more damage), but is generally more agile/manuevable..he gets some neat mixups in 3S that only he can do from the air etc. He also gets unique supers. So they're becoming less and less alike, and will probably be even more different in SF4.

Kind of like whats happening in Brawl.

I don't know where all you people thinking of importing think you're going to get your games from....if you haven't been following the news, Nintendo failed to meet demand for the Japanese release, and most stores aren't going to be able to fill preorders. Play-Asia said that they were only going to be able to meet 15% of theirs, and probably wouldn't be able to fill the rest until February 4 at the earliest.

So I think that if you're expecting to get a copy by next week, you're going to be paying quite a bit of money for rush shipping and buying off of eBay.

I'd love to set up a tourney if possible. I've been looking forward to having a GW tourney ever since I learned about this topic and I think I'd be pretty good at getting it organized and all that stuff since I've ran a tourney or two before (granted, they were with people who lived in my area, not online). I'd need some help though, but I'd love to do the planning, find out when people want to play, and all of that other stuff.

EDIT: A bunch of my friends play smash (5 to be exact). I know this tourney is supposed to be a GW thing, but would I be able to invite these people to participate or should we just have it GW exclusive? I won't care either way. Just figured I should ask first.

Unless spectator mode is completely random, in which case fuck me, I guess!

I'm not sure how it works, but I think you can spectate on the matches your friends are having, so if that's the case, we're set.

As for the recording, I can hook up my DVD player and record matches onto a blank DVD, then rip them from there, edit them, and post them online. That's what I used to do before.

As for the rules...well I say we either compromise somehow or we do both types of tournaments (both anything goes and tourney rules, which I would like much more). The second option would be cool cuz it'd be like "best player w/items" and "best player w/out items." It's also a good idea because we probably won't have too big of a turnout (I'm guessing around 10-12 people tops) so it wouldn't even take long to finish if we did two.

JUNE

Can't you just import the EU version?

I was under the impression that Australia and England shared similar region locking on everything?

EDIT: I've been playing the original SSB on emulation online...pretty fucking cool.

Quote from: Smash bros Dojo
January 31st, 2008. Super Smash Bros. Brawl has officially gone on sale in Japan. Is everybody having fun with it?

However, Smash won’t come out in North America for a bit and sadly, Europe has an even longer wait until the game releases.

For the past eight months or so, Smash Dojo has served as a source of basic information for the game, but with the release of Brawl, the Dojo will take on a new role.

From here on out, the Dojo will begin to introduce the hidden characters, hidden stages, and additional features in Brawl that have gone unmentioned until now. I’d like to continue to add on to the Dojo so that players of Brawl can come back to this website following it’s completion and view Smash Dojo as a sort of guide for the game.

I plan on continuing updates for another two months, so please continue to enjoy the site.

Just remember, I’ll be posting information on hidden characters and other in-game secrets, so you should take caution when viewing the site if you want to save those surprises for later.


has already been released and his moves are quite different than Lucas'


Can't wait to see the detailed info on The others we know little about.

But the website is treating it like spoilers too, even though that's what all the website is, spoilers. Well, not anymore I guess. But the spoiler business is stupid. We should drop it for characters and embrace the roster.  SSE I can understand because it's storyline stuff. But I mean really, I don't think anybody cares about having the roster revealed, and if they do they are a minority and should create a new topic for themselves.

I think that second quote was sarcasm. I agree with Grogrog though. We should just stick to keeping SSE secret. Is there anybody that doesn't know the secret characters yet?

Seems like a lot of people that post here live outside the U.S. I don't know how the whole region lock thing is going to work with Brawl, but hopefully we'll all be able to play together. If that's the case, we can do multiple tourneys, one after the U.S. release and one after EU/Australian.

Question: How many people live in the U.S. and plan on getting Brawl shortly after release? It'd be nice to know so we can figure out when to plan the tourney.

I think I'll keep track of the number of people getting Brawl within a month of release. So far it's 3 (you, Erave, and me). I'd like to get a decent list together so I know how many people will be able to participate in the GW tourney.

So in case you missed it, please post if you're getting Brawl within a month of release and would like to participate in the GW Brawl tourney.

But yeah, I do intend to get Smash Bros (and a Wii, I suppose I'd need that too, huh?  :gwa:​) as soon as I can. I'm gonna try to buy a Wii next paycheck, and I'll preorder Brawl at that point. I'd love to take part in a GW tourney. I think it should be with items as well, at least for the first tourney for the majority.

And that Final Smash video was pretty great. Most of them seem pretty useful, however some seem almost completely useless.

I would like to be a part of the tournament.

At first I was kind of disappointed by the roster, but really, the roster is fine (save ) Most of the characters wanted made it in (Pit, Meta Knight, Olimar, Lucas) and I think I just wish more of the characters where unlocked then revealed beforehand. Some of those characters just don't feel new anymore, regardless of the fact I have yet to play as them.

Diddy's, Pikachu's, and Sonic's are all VERY DIFFERENT. Diddy flys around shooting peanuts, Pikachu is a hard-to-control ball that can go through obstacles, and Sonic is somewhat similar but he can't go through stages and the like. They're really not essentially the same at all.

Also, Eric,

Also Carius, I agree. I think it's cool how they're emphasizing that.

I think it should be with items as well, at least for the first tourney for the majority.

That's fine with me. So first tourney anything goes, second with tourney rules? Sound okay with everyone? I was thinking we have them pretty much back to back, with maybe a week in between. Let me know what you guys think.

I want to get an idea of how many people will be participating. So many people post here and I've wondered how many of those people were actually planning on getting Brawl. It's just a running list. Nothing final.

Also, is it possible to play online with two people on onewii?

You can have up to three people on one Wii for online play, but that only applies to with anyone from what I know. I don't think you'll be able to do it like that with friends, which is what we'll be using. I'm lucky that I have another friend who's getting Brawl so I can have multiple people participate from my house if necessary.

I wouldn't be able to play in a tournament until summertime (even if I did have the adapter I need to play Wii online at college, I don't have time and it would be slow as hell), and I don't even know if I'd be able to then because our internet speeds are throttled so bad here, which wouldn't be bad in casual games but I wouldn't want to suddenly lag or drop out of a fight in a tournament.

So uh put me down as an incredibly tentative maybe.

I have Brawl preordered, but if too many crazy people buy them out before I can pick it up, then I might still have to wait a bit.

I also still need the online adaptor for the Wii, but that shouldn't be hard to come by.  I also have high-speed internet, so with a direct connection, online play should be smooth.

I'd love to participate in a GW tourney, both anything goes and tourney rules, but I think we should give it a week or two before we hold it so people can get a feel for the game (and unlock everything).

...

You guys seem to think tournament players are dumb or something.


A huge correction to your post: Melee tournaments don't only play on FD anyways.

A minor addendum to Grog's: No because no one has determined the tournament rules for Brawl yet...because its only been out for a short bit. Fighting game players never apply a previous game's tournament rules to a new game in a series because the games in a series change. Something that's broken and random in like...Street Fighter 2 Turbo (say Akuma) might not be broken and random and therefore legal in sayyyy Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix.

Though from the looks of things it looks like No AT's, No Starman, No Hammer, No Pokeball, no exploding crates, no to like all % healing items, yes to all other items pretty much, yes to Smashballs (as of now), and no stages with wacky corners/super random elements.

And probably 2 stock cause the game is much slower than Melee.
Title: SSBB Discussion - USE SPOILERS FOR ANYTHING NOT REVEALED ON THE OFFICIAL SITE
Post by: Cheesy Doritos on February 03, 2008, 05:53:09 pm
I disagree with 2 stock, because most FS's well-used are easily a K.O. You really shouldn't have Smash Balls and a low stock, they don't work together at ALL.

edit: I know you were just saying what you thought it'd be or whatever, but I'm just saying...

so, after playing a bit with my friends, i see the tiers are gonna change a little. Marth became much better, he feels a little awkward at first because his dashdance patterns changed and he lost his ground controlling moves, but he makes up with crazy damage and better ways to get someone off the stage AND he kept his regular f-tilt.

also Lucario is really good. i'm thinking somewhere along the lines of Peach good. he can play a deadly keepaway game and he has some really good mixup tools. and he can stick to walls for wall shenanigans when edge guarding. he's like what would happen if mewtwo didn't absolutely suck.

Fox feels weaker and Falco too, they seem to have lost the ability to shffl but they can do some other stuff better. crazy mixups from a throw or when the guy starts shielding. maybe they're still top but different, i don't know. i'd say high for fox and top for falco because falco feels just that much more solid but maybe i'm wrong.

modded wiis are so good.

Good to hear impressions from a GW member and for that I hate you (jealous). Marth was always top tier though (4th if I'm not mistaken) and I really didn't think he'd be going even higher from what I've heard so far. His recovery was nerfed (can only do one side-B for horizontal distance), his range was shortened, and he runs a bit slower (granted most characters do). He wasn't affected by the floatiness that much though since he was a floaty character to begin with. I thought dash dancing was useless in Brawl? All the vids I've seen so far show that it's much harder to pull off consistently. Glad Marth still has his F-air and tipper though. He may end up being my main again.

Lucario does look beastly though. How does Wolf compare to Fox and Falco? Is he better? Worse? He seems really good from the vids I've seen so far.

Oh, and are you planning on joining the GW tourney?

Are you sure smoke balls aren't too broken? I... I don't even think I would be able to play if I couldn't visually pinpoint the optimal animation frame to perform a waveland with jigglypuff.

Sucks for you. You gotta be able to do that shit with your eyes closed. Seriously though, no WDing/WLing in Brawl.

Wait, is this going to be a tournament with all items turned off and only
playing on on final destination?

Yes and no. We're planning two tourneys for now, one with items/any stage allowed and the other being closer to tourney specifications. Stages like Battlefield, Delfino Plaza, Yoshi's Island, Lylat Cruise, Bridge of Eldin, Smashville, Sky World, Castle Siege, Pokemon Stadium 2, Battleship Halberd, Shadow Moses Island, Final Destination, Yoshi's Island, Corneria, and Onett seem like they'll be fine in the second tourney. I have a feeling most people will say no to the second more regulated tournament, but I really think everyone should do that one as well since it's just for fun and because you may actually end up enjoying yourselves. Your call though.

As for the stock, I was thinking we do 4 stock with best two out of 3. Yes, matches take longer, but there'll be several matches going on at once, so it still shouldn't take too long. We can work this out later though.

Well, I meant Marth feels like he's definite top tier material, not that he wasn't before (tho it's kind of arguable because Fox/Falco are the real tops and everyone else is upper and high-mid but the line is blurry enough to mix them up a lot). Dashdancing's far from useless, it just feels different and the patterns for attacking in and out of it are definitely not the same.

Wolf feels weird, I personally don't like him, but I haven't had him unlocked for too long now. I don't know if it's me or if it's the way he plays but he just doesn't play anything like Fox and Falco does. His reflector doesn't seem to spike and he can't nearly control space as well as the other space animals do. He does have more of "oomph" to his attacks but it doesn't feel good enough to put him on the same level as the others for now. I'd say he's still good but until I get more accustomed to him (fat chance there, I never liked the space animals), I can't really comment on anything more than superficial level.

And sadly I can't join the GW tournament. I'll be moving out during March and I'll be stripped from the internet for a month or too, so no tournament for me.

Meta Knight is broken.

Like, I'm not even kidding here or exaggerating, he's really that good. He goes fast as all heck, he deals crazy damage, if he gets you off the stage you're NEVER going to come back because he's just going to chase you and nair and fair you to death and he'll always be able to come back, and even though he's light, he's hard as hell to actually kill because his jumps cover so much distance.

Also, yeah, I could tell Lucario was good. He's pretty strong, it seems, and his moves looked nice. What's his Down-B?

And Marth is a lot faster, attack speed wise, right?

Fox and Falco play pretty similar to their SSBM counterpart, with a few differences due to the speed change and their lost tools (shffl, waveshielding and such), but to the casual gamer they'll feel the same. Wolf would seem the most different from a casual point of view because of his gimped shield, different laser and slower but stronger nature.

Lucario's d+B is a stance-like thing. I THINK it's a counter but I haven't been able to get it to work and it doesn't do anything in practice mode. I'm waiting on the Lucario dojo update to actually know what to do with it.

Yeah, Marth's faster on his normal attacks, his smashes feel like they attack normally though but his neutral and tilts do come out a lot faster than they used to and you can spam them a lot more efficiently.

Pshh. Do both. Who cares if you aren't good with items? It's just for fun and it'll be the first GW tourney.

As for Meta Knight, I though he had a hard time finishing people off even though he could combo them easily. He does look top tier though and I'm glad since I was planning on playing him from the first vid I saw.

Lucario's down B is a counter attack. He dashes past the enemy and whacks them from the back. Looks really cool.

Captain Falcon is still one of the better characters. His knee got a nice nerf though, but then again, a lot of characters got their best attacks nerfed. He's still really quick and really good.

i'm going to guess that he's in the middle because his attacks are pretty strong but he has a slow recovery time.  of course this is based on the original super smash bros. since i haven't played ssbm in a long time so i don't remember very well how good he is in that one

Link in SSB64 isn't the shit at all. He's just shit. Dude is a punching bag when it comes to combos and has slow movement/attack speed topped off with terrible recovery. I main Link in Melee and he is A LOT better. He's located pretty much right in the middle of the tier list, whereas in SSB64 he is ranked dead last.

BUT ENOUGH ABOUT THE PAST Link is awesome and I will continue to use him in Brawl. I'm not sure if you guys read any character impressions but players generally agree that he has improved from Melee. Some of his moves have been nerfed (like Up+B) but maybe stuff like better speed and better projectiles will make up for it.

Since I'm bored and I got nothing else to do, here are the current tier list for the US-released games:
Quote from: SSB64 tier list
Top tier: Pikachu, Kirby, Ness
High tier: Fox, Captain Falcon
Middle tier: Jigglypuff, Mario, Yoshi
Low tier: Donkey Kong, Luigi
Bottom tier: Samus, Link

Quote from: SSBM tier list
Top tier: Fox, Falco
High tier: Sheik, Marth, Peach
Middle tier: Captain Falcon, Ice Climbers, Samus, Doctor Mario, Mario, Jigglypuff, Ganondorf
Low tier: Link, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Roy, Young Link, Pikachu
Bottom tier: Yoshi, Zelda, Game and Watch, Ness, Bowser, Kirby, Pichu, Mewtwo

So yeah, Link is generally considered pretty shit in both games (and rather strangely, is ranked #12 in SSB64 and #13 in SSBM). And no, it's not that you guys kick ass with him, it's that your friends most likely suck huge ass and can't do anything properly, especially in SSB64 where if he gets hit once by any of the top tiers he's probably going to die a quick and painful death.

I'm pretty new to Wiis... so can someone tell me how to get it working on my wifi network?

If you have wireless internet in your home, it should be able to pick it up right away. I can't remember where exactly you're supposed to go in the menu and I can't check for you right now since I'm on campus. There's basically some menu you can go to (it's in the same area where you can name your Wii and all that stuff) that will show all the wireless networks in range and allow you to connect to one of them.

If you're still having trouble with it, I'll give you more detailed instructions when I get back from school. (also, I can't remember if you live outside the U.S. or if you're getting Brawl or not, but are you planning on entering the tourney?)

Well I want to be in the tournament but my paticipation depends on if I can figure out a way to get a high speed connection working at home before March. I live like 20 miles from any other human being so as you can imagine a DSL/cable connection isn't an option.
I might be able to just play it from work though.

Might as well try it out with your normal connection. Back when I had 56k, I could play some games with no lag at all and that may end up being the case for you. Give it a shot with your normal connection when you get Brawl and see how bad it is.

Either way, I'll add you in as a maybe. I think that brings us up to 24 people now. Man, if none of you sissies back out, we can have ourselves some pretty epic tourneys.

Link in SSB64 isn't the shit at all. He's just shit. Dude is a punching bag when it comes to combos and has slow movement/attack speed topped off with terrible recovery. I main Link in Melee and he is A LOT better. He's located pretty much right in the middle of the tier list, whereas in SSB64 he is ranked dead last.

Eh...he may be low tier, but characters were pretty balanced back then (the small roster helped). See what a good player can do with him against Pikachu, who's at the very top of the tier list (granted, this is the best SSB64 player in the world playing Link):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcjJAlS8lLk&feature=related

But yeah, Roman, Link did get a nice buff. His Up+B doesn't have the same knockback as it did in Melee and his hookshot range is a little smaller than before, but he's a bit faster and better overall.

Holy shit I didn't even know this was possible!
I just finished using Xbox Live with Dial-up. I played Crackdown which was actually alot more playable than I expected. Although I wouldn't suggest playing something like a graphically beautiful FPS with 32 players on dial-up SSBB with it being on the less powerful Wii & with only 4 people at a time might be pretty manageable.

(Chainer you'll probably be interested in this part)
Only reason I didn't try it with the Wii is because I apparently need to buy either a Wii Lan Adapter or some kind of Wi-fi thingy. I'm gonna go with the Lan Adaptor because I'm more familar with that kind of thing & most people seem to think that it's quicker (& I need all the speed I can get).

You do need some sort of adapter if you don't have wireless. As for the account, you technically have one (your friend code) and most Wii games have their own codes that are similar to accounts. But yeah, if you have wireless, you should be set.

I think a lot of the hats are ugly and seem really lazy. I think the Snake one is really bad, and I couldn't quite point out why at first. But then I realized, the hair. It's not about the facial hair, it's about the mullet. Kirby needs snake hair.

I just read online (pardon me if it has been posted already), but apparently the reason a Capcom character (ie Mega Man) wasn't considered for Brawl is because Nintendo is still peeved at Capcom for taking the exclusivity of RE4 away from them.

I very seriously doubt that an entire corporation would hold a vendetta against another corporation like that.

Thank god, I was starting to think that there might be something wrong with the game mechanics or something. Can't wait till someone finds "advanced techniques" for SSBB.

EDIT:Wow, Lucas' PK Fire has awesome knockback. And the game mechanics look even more polished that Melee's.

EDIT2: I can't remember if it's been said before, but is L Cancelling, like, automatic now? The downtime after seems very short.

L-cancelling was removed completely. It's only automatic on some attacks. Others still have long delay, such as Snake's back air. It depends on the move.

So I take it that L Canceling is an animation/ move/ recovery/ recoil cancel? If so... I'm glad I didn't play Smash Brothers that much.... because a change like that would have been a game breaker for me.

It stands for "lag cancel." Basically what you do is hit either L or R (or Z in SSB64) right as you land from an aerial attack. In SSB64, your lag was completely reduced, allowing you to attack instantly after landing. In Melee, that lag was only cut in half, but was still very useful for comboing and avoiding shield grabs after landing an aerial attack.

Just found a video showing gameplay between U.S. and Japan. There doesn't seem to be much lag at all.

I always thought it was called L canceling because you pressed the L BUTTON.
Title: SSBB Discussion - USE SPOILERS FOR ANYTHING NOT REVEALED ON THE OFFICIAL SITE
Post by: Paranoia Dude on February 06, 2008, 12:07:56 am
L-Cancel was also vital in some characters' gameplan, and you basically HAD to use it to have any chance of winning against anyone who had an idea of what he's doing. Link's dair is a crazy good move for example, but it lags for HOURS if you don't l-cancel it and it gets himself killed if used anywhere that whiffs.

I'd recommend watching all (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4n4s5yB7ZkE) these (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiZLs2doK8E&feature=related) videos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFmGIOcWdsM&feature=related) to learn a few advanced techniques before the tournament. Some don't apply anymore (wavelanding, wavedashing, l-cancellingm shffling) but others (dashdancing, out-of-shields, teching, edge hogging/edge hopping and such) are still very useful techniques that are very good and easy to learn. I'd recommend watching match videos too but it's pretty useless now seeing as how everyone sucks more or less and nothing gamebreaking has been discovered just yet.

I believe she is from a game called Drill Dozer, which was released on the GBA some time ago (I think it was one of the last games to come out for it) They might be coming out with another one, but that one was supposed to be pretty good, made by the people who made Pokemon if I remember right.

From what I've heard/seen so far, Olimar seems like he can be a really good character. He can chuck pikmin at the opponent for assloads of damage (especially if you get the poison one) and the heavy one sends the enemies flying back quite a lot. However, without pikmin, he is nearly defenseless. I saw him getting smacked around by Kirby hard after he used up all of his pikmin. Luckily though, it takes a second to get all 6 of them back.

He seems like he's a good character but he'll take more skill to be played than most other characters.

Post by: Paranoia Dude on February 07, 2008, 11:57:34 am
Hey guys who realy know about this stuff, I got a couple of questions:

With the tier system, how is that worked out? What things are taken into consideration when ranking the characters? According to the lists posted  on the previous page, I've always gone with low-tier characters. Not that this bothers me at all, I'm just curious. And are these tiers intentionally made, or is it just the result of players studying the characters a lot.

Second, all this wavedashing and l-cancelling and dash-dancing junk. Is it intentionally put in the game, or is it stuff that players have found and now exploit in the game.

I'm just kind of curious about these things. Thanks.



ALSO:
looks like a girl.
Tiers are agreed on by various things, tournament performance, the characters' general matchups (done by comparing matches in a fixed environment (Final Destination, 1v1, no items, 4 stocks, 6 minutes limit)) and the theory surrounding said characters. It's a pretty involved process and most tier lists in most games are not to be taken lightly because they're usually right. Tier lists mostly show what tournament results will end up like usually, but it's not always set in stone (such as Wobbles winning EVO East with Ice Climbers). It doesn't mean low tiers are dreadful and that you should never use them, it just means that in a tournament environment, you have less chances of winning against people of a similar skill level to yourself that are using higher tiered characters. It's all statistics and you can sometimes beat the odds, but it's the exception rather than the rule.

Wavedashing, L-Cancelling and such are a kind of weird thing. Wavedashing is an obvious oversight, it's done by cancelling your jump with a quick air dodge, which will make your landing gain some "moving" properties and then cancelling that landing again with another wavedash or an attack, since you didn't attack in the first part, you don't have any lag to attack again. L-Cancelling, Dashdancing and ledgehopping have been known since SSB64 and have been put in SSBM and SSBB willingly, tho they did try to "fix" these things, they're still very potent. But you should never be ashamed to use something that's in the game, bugs or not. CvS2 has roll cancelling and you can't really hope to win tournaments if you can't do it, and that's a glitch too, so why would Smash be any different.

The guy playing Metaknight (who is very good) could have spammed the attack in no time right after using it, while Pit was still recovering from it in the first place.

EDIT:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeMEkOqMaKE&feature=related 0:38 Metaknight can apparently face forward and attack forward or backwards.

It's important to note that tiers seem to be created in the "tournament environment" - Final Destination, no items (correct me if I'm wrong).  But this tournament environment unbalances the characters.  For example, I often played as Pikachu in melee who has a great advantage with items and platform jumping.  But in the tournament environment, his weaknesses are emphasized while his advantages can't be used.  It looks like MetaKnight would have similar problems in a tournament environment since he would have a hard time KOing someone without items or a teammate.

this is not fair, it looked like metaknight was outplaying pit but pit just wouldnt die and when they were having aerial battles in the middle of nowhere pit was usually the one who could make it back to the edge and metaknight couldnt. eitherways, holy shit.

True, he might not have a powerful attack to KO perse, but he does have speed and multiple jumps. I have a good feeling that once he knocks someone off the arena he will be able to keep them off easily by jumping out after them and slashing them further away (except Pit, I still can't get over his recovery move). You can see how effective this can be by watching one of the videos Sarhan posted (again against someone with multiple jumps like Pit, it could be a problem).

Actually, it's the other way around. Items had a random element that cannot be defined and gives an unfair and unexpected advantage to anyone who happens to be closer to them when they spawn. It doesn't matter if your character can KO with items or get to platforms faster, fact of the matter is that those characters still can't get a clean KO by themselves.

Also you have to realize that any character who is higher tiered will be even stronger with access to items. Sure, Pikachu gets from awful to not-too-bad if a baseball bat spawns besides him, but in contrast, Marth goes from too good to nigh-unbeatable.
Title: SSBB Discussion - USE SPOILERS FOR ANYTHING NOT REVEALED ON THE OFFICIAL SITE
Post by: Dale Gobbler on February 08, 2008, 12:54:07 am
With a baseball bat? I'd just chunk it at the enemy. Hell I'd chunk almost any item I picked up at the enemy for the long range. If Marth used the baseball bat as a weapon, I'm pretty sure his attack range would be shorter and his Forward+A would take too long leaving him wide open to attacks.

EDIT: Oops, but I get your point. Anyone who gets his hands on an item will have an added advantage and what-not.

Yeah but I don't think the difference is always the same.  I don't think items always just scale things up equally.  Perhaps one character gets a little better with a certain item while another character gets much better with the same item.  And some characters are much better only with CERTAIN items.  And some characters are better at retrieving items, like pokeballs.

My original point is that when you consider items, number of players, and all kinds of arenas there are a nearly limitless number of possible scenarios that you can get into in a fight.  This means that it becomes very difficult to create a tier based on all possible scenarios in Smash Bros but much easier by eliminating a lot of possibilities by looking at just the tournament environment.  
Title: SSBB Discussion - USE SPOILERS FOR ANYTHING NOT REVEALED ON THE OFFICIAL SITE
Post by: HL on February 08, 2008, 01:05:27 am
Oh, I don't know about that.  I don't think items always just scale things up equally.  I think some characters are definitely better with items.  And some characters are much better only with CERTAIN items.  And some characters are better at retrieving items.

Yes, some characters are better at retrieving items...but some characters I don't think are inherently better with items. Items act the same no matter who uses them.


Also I play with items for fun, but I never use ones that deal damage personally. I will avoid them like the plague. The fact of the matter is, I'm playing a fighting game, and I'd rather kill someone with my character, than kill someone with a random item. I understand I'm gimping myself in the environment, and maybe not playing to win fully, but I don't find any enjoyment in using a crutch to kill someone.

EDIT:
Also if items were allowed, the tier list would still be decided on the actual characters alone. Thats just the way it works.

Like, in 3S, its based on character strengths/weaknesses, and not including some "random" (to some extent) elements like parrying. Yeah, Hugo can be good if you have MAD PARRY SKILLS but not every Hugo has MAD PARRY SKILLS, so hes still low on the tier list.

well not only that, it's extremely situational. from what i can see, you have to be positioned properly, to have the right percentage, hope the guy misses BOTH his DI and his tech attempts and that he doesn't pop high enough after your smash that he wall bounces or has a chance to air recover.

so it's like, a 1 in a 1000 chance to be used in a stage that has a wall, and in SSBB there's like 5 of those.

Hey, all you guys that may or may not check the Dojo anymore!  The update was ZSS's FS, and apparently there's a way to turn between Samus and Zero Suit anytime at all!  It's just really REALLY tricky.

Hah. You can switch between Samus and ZSS during battle.

What exactly does DI and tech mean?
Di is basically holding left or right really fast when falling so that your character moves away from harm's way, and teching is is to tap L or R as soon as you hit a wall or the grond to get up instantly or roll away.

Edit: http://www.smashwiki.com/wiki/DI this explains DI better than i do.

I don't actually like how you can switch between Zero Suit and Varia Samus anytime you want. Honestly, I'd rather not have another Sheik/PT-like character. I just hope most people will select their favorite from the starting menu.

The movie was cool; I'd already seen it though. What intrigues me the most is the last line of the update.

btw, I played Melee for the first time ever last night.  It was fun.  I dislike the Gamecube controller, though.  I instinctively press A to jump.  Damn you Super Mario Bros.!

You'll get use to the control scheme and it will be even more fun. I personally use X to jump instead of Up, because you have more control over your character, and don't have to worry about pressing the B button too late and jumping instead of doing Up+B.

Guys, I'm pretty sure ZSS CAN'T switch to Samus without the Final Smash. Reread the update multiple times over if you don't get it.

So what should you do when you feel like playing Zero Suit Samus from the get-go?

Then it proceeds to give you a list, with two options.

What’s this? ...So you can shed your armor anytime you want?!

There is one line in there that is slightly misleading, but I really don't think you'll be able to go from ZSS to Samus without the Smash.

Maybe you should reread it... It's pretty clear!

Quote from: Dojo

2: Quickly input taunts ↑↓↑.

What’s this? ...So you can shed your armor anytime you want?!

Thing is, you’re going to have to put that command in pretty darn fast in order for it to work. If you’ve set your taunts to the +Control Pad on your controller, you’ll eventually input the command correctly if you rapidly hammer up and down on the +Control Pad.


You can change into ZSS by inputting the taunts up, down and up very fast. It's not really misleading.

Also, DN... What?

It’s not easy, but how awesome is it that you can make Samus coolly switch between two completely different fighting forms! Try it out next time you feel like showing off

That IMO says that you can switch back and forth during battle.

ZSS's Final Smash is a Vortex type thing that damages enemies, and it transforms her back to regular Samus. But I still think that she doesn't have to do a FS to switch.

The only part that is misleading is the fact that it says you can switch between two forms. Now that does make it sound like you can go from ZSS to Samus, but I mean, it only says you can shed armor with the taunts, not put it back on.

Haha...so they've found a ghetto way to waveland in Brawl. Doesn't go as far as it did in Melee and the distance seems to be the same for each character, but it could still be used for spacing. Definitely doesn't look as useful as the WL in Melee, but it works:

Post by: halibabica on February 09, 2008, 11:46:02 pm
The part they're talking about is at the very bottom of the update.  It says you can do a special combo with the taunt D-pad to turn between ZSS and Samus.  The final smashes always do the transformation, but this is within the abilities of the player.

I don't think it's so bad that Samus can change between her two forms just like that in the middle of battle.  Sure, that makes her like Zelda/Shiek, but so what?  She's a two-in-one character, and this leaves the player's options more open (even if it's supposed to be trickier to pull off).

Like I said, that part isn't written as well as it can be. You can switch coolly between the two, between Samus to ZSS. First of all, thinking about it, it makes no sense for ZSS to go to Samus. Second of all, read over what it's talking about. It says WHAT IF YOU WANT TO PLAY AS ZSS????????? Then gives you two options, one being holding down the shield, the second being to do the taunt. It also says DOING THE TAUNT MAKES YOU SHED YOUR ARMOUR. Also people on Smash Boards have supposedly confirmed that it can't be used both ways. Yes, I checked the Smash boards just to prove my point.

I may be wrong, and if I am, this game is dumb.

I agree with you about the AT thing, but this has the same applications as wavelanding did in Melee. WLing made Ganondorf a beast (I played against one of the best in the midwest and he ass-raped my Marth hard). It's basically used for spacing your attacks and to lure your opponent into attacking while being out of range. At first, it's not very useful, but once you get comfortable with it and can see good opportunities to use it, it becomes a very good technique.

ahahahahah, they actually want people to call this fucking "the craqwalk". yeah right!

Also I'm not really sure what's going on in that video?? It looks to me like he's just jumping forwards, landing, turning around, and then sliding with the momentum. If that's all it is, then I don't understand how this constitutes anything beyond BASIC MOVEMENT.

Going back to Samus, I'd rather beable to switch back and forth between her and ZSS without a smashball. It just doesn't seem well planned out to start with Samus going for Long Range attacks and then permanently switching to Close combat.

Actually he's short hopping, then airdodges at the very last moment in order to slide on the ground with the dodge's momentum. Edit: Looks like he HAS to turn around too otherwise it doesn't do anything. That's kinda weird. Gonna have to try that when DMC4 isn't kicking my ass.

Also Smash players can be retards sometimes and ever since someone named Wobbles's tactics as "wobbling" they try to name everything after themselves.

Wobbling was ground breaking for the ICs. It made them so much more powerful. I've pulled it off on my friends and taken them from 0 to death with just one grab. He deserves to have that named after him. It wasn't even named by him though. People named it after him in recognition for finding such a powerful technique.

All the people playing Brawl trying to find ATs are gay though. Some guy found that you can do a running attack with Falco right into an up smash from the animation and he called it DarkLink X Hit Cancel (DLX hit cancel for short). Horribe, horrible name. The guy who discovered this wants to call it "Craq walk" when it's clearly a waveland. Everyone's trying to go down in the smash history books for finding a new technique. They're trying way too hard.

Also, this is done differently than a normal waveland. You run, jump, DI backwards as you're about to land, and tap the control stick backwards quickly as you land.

Yup, but it was thought to be impossible in Brawl after changing the airdodging mechanics. It's also slower than Melee's waveland and each character seems to go the same distance upon landing.

Also, I suggest we use #capcom for matchmaking for tournaments. It's already dedicated to fighting games and there's a lot of us who are serious Smash players in there.

Plus, dedicated channels always die. Look at the DS wifi channel or FFXI or WoW channels, all dead. #capcom is more general and there's no point in creating a smash only room when it's just another fighting game (albeit an excellent one) in an ocean of fighting games.

By the way, I just found out that you can't spectate on "with friends" matches. That's going to suck for recording since only the people playing will be able to record. Oh well. I'll record all of my matches.

the channel has like, nothing to do with Capcom actually,  the most played games are SNK's Garou and King of Fighters '98, as well as Ecole-Soft's Melty Blood. The ONLY Capcom game we still play is Third Strike, and that's a very rare occurance.

we tried changing name (to #netplay), it didn't work out even tho that was even MORE universal. no one joined and the channel died out, whereas #capcom still thrives because it's a subcommunity that doesn't pay attention to a general aspect of gaming but an entire subgenre (eg: fighting games). #wifi died fast as well, whereas we even setup wifi matches for Bleach DS on the channel and even set up some 360 matches for Fatal Fury Special, SF2HF and Virtua Fighter 5 (and most likely Soul Calibur 4, SF2HDR and SF4 when they'll be out).

so it's just a logical thing imho. why make a channel that'll die out in less than a month (this WILL happen, even if it's a very popular game) when a channel dedicated to matchmaking of an ENTIRE GENRE is already there. who cares about the name really? Capcom is iconic of being all about fighting games, it's just there for the sake of getting the uneducated to say "hey capcom, sf2 was cool, i'll check it out" and the guy who even visits these forums a bit should know that the channel isn't just about Capcom from the dozens of tournaments and general info topics that were posted.

I'm hoping mine is. They said they weren't last time I checked, but that was before the delay. They may have gotten enough reservations to do one since then. I'll probably stop by sometime this week and check again.

The tournament thing is a nationwide gamestop event. It's being sponsored by Nintendo. First place gets to go to another tourny and then the top players from there get to go to a world finals type of thing.

By the way...stores get games a few days before the official release date right? I was thinking of bribing one of the employees to give me my copy as soon as they get it. How viable is this?

Is the netplay board not enough for setting up a Smash tourny?

Of course I don't plan on playing with GW everyday or anything, but if irc is required I'll be at least a little bummed.

Setting up specific games may require more real time communication than a forum could reasonably provide.

we tried changing name (to #netplay), it didn't work out even tho that was even MORE universal. no one joined and the channel died out

Can't you make the #capcom channel redirect?

I mean personally it's not that big of a deal--I already just added #capcom to my autojoin. But I was thinking in terms of getting new people, especially with Brawl being as big as we all know it's going to be. If people are looking for Brawl players, #capcom wouldn't be the first place they'd look and it might turn them off.

Well most (ie: 99% of anyone you would actually want to play Brawl with here) people know that #capcom is for general fighting games anyways.

Really? People do it all the time. That's how all the Japanese info was leaked days before January 31st. I imagine all of the gamestop employees will have access to it as soon as they get the shipments in.

I've got a friend who used to work at gamestop. I'll just ask him.

You could of course just wait a few days until it's out. You know, since we've all been
waiting for months for this game, and we're all waiting and shit?

I finally got SSBB and the Wii to play it on a few days ago, so if anyone has any BURNING QUESTIONS that have not already been answered, feel free to ask. I have all the characters unlocked, but I'm still working on getting some of the stages.

Subspace Emissary is LONG by the way. It took like 6-8 hours to complete, and according to the game it is still only 85% complete so I guess there are a few more little things to get from it, maybe trophies or CDs or something. I get the feeling that SSE delayed the game a bit because there is so much stuff in it (of course there is a ridiculous amount of stages and music too.) Anyway it was fun to play, because even though the game is Japanese there is no actual dialogue, and you can still tell exactly what is going on in the cutscenes. The menus are pretty easy to navigate too; all the icons are pretty intuitive and easy to understand.

I really like all the new characters. Of my favorites, Ike is rather slow, but he's a beast and hits very hard and is pretty well-rounded. Metaknight doesn't do much damage, but since he attacks so fast it pretty much evens out. The Pokemon Trainer is a blast, and Squirtle (or should I say ZENIGAME) is especially rockin'. At first I thought that was a completely ridiculous character to include, but after playing with him, he actually fits in pretty well and is really fun to play. Unfortunately Snake seems kind of lame at first; his smash attacks are COMPLETELY counter-intuitive since he does things like plant mines and shoot mortars/RPGs instead of regular attacks, but I'll get used to him, and his CQC moves aren't bad. And it's still fun just being able to play with him.

I don't check it any more for new information, but I check it out of habit just because Sakurai's captions on the images are usually  cute, like something a five-year-old would say about them.

That's teching, the early form of L-canceling, which has been in since the original.
teching and l-cancelling have nothing to do with each other. teching is to press L when about to bounce on a wall/ground/ceiling in order to negate the bouncing effect, whereas L-cancelling is to press the shield button when you're about to hit the ground but still in an aerial normal attack animation in order to negate the lag (hence l-cancelling, it cancels Lag). L-cancelling was an oversight of the first SSB64 engine where it completely eliminated the landing animation, was "officially" added to SSBM as in it wasn't acknowledged but it was known by the developpers as it only reduced the landing lag by half, and was completely removed and "automated" in brawl.

also stale move negation is the most stupid thing ever. you SERIOUSLY suck if you have any sort of trouble getting past projectile spamming in a game where it's so easy to dodge shit. it's like adding SUPER PARRIES to SF3's parry system that would negate JUMPING IN or something stupid like that. god i hate how casual gamers dictate some system direction decisions in games like this sometimes.

i actually think its a pretty interesting idea in concept, forcing the attacker to mixup more and more, however I think its too..."passive", I guess? It doesn't make sense at all why your moves suddenly become weaker. I think it would be okay if they expanded on it and showed your fighter getting tired and stuff or bored, y'know? At least then it makes a bit of sense than just there to balance out some gameplay.

Uh you mean how like 95% of the player base determines system direction? If we were talking about Street Fighter or some other shit you might have a point, but this is Super Smash Bros. Besides, I really think it is less about pandering to "casual gamers" and more about making the game more fun to play overall. People who spam moves (projectile or otherwise) are generally pretty lame and simply not fun to play with. It is extremely boring and repetitive, and having someone use the same move over and over and over again is highly annoying.

Besides, most people are less interested about winning every match every time ever, and more interested in having fun while playing the game, even if they lose sometimes, as long as it is an enjoyable and interesting match. People acting like faggots pretty much ruins that last part.

Edit: Yeah the stage editor is pretty easy to use. The only things that bother me are the inability to overlap parts (especially since some parts have overlap zones that are far larger than the actual part itself) and the fact that since everything is pretty much made up of square blocks and ramps and things, there isn't much visual variation. You kind of get that "tile effect" when you have a lot of identical parts grouped together. Still, it is awesome to be able to design almost any platform/wall/ramp/elevator configuration you want. The game definitely gets a 10/10 in my book.

Yeah, I think a bunch of moves had stale negation in Melee if you use them constantly back to back, I can't remember if projectiles had it though. I haven't read the smashbros site, but the way Raziel worded it, it seems that you eventually become immune to damage and knockback from spammed projectiles (I could be wrong, probably am, and I hope I am :D​).

All moves in Melee had stale move negation. They didn't reduce knockback though, as far as I know. The only real difference between the Melee and Brawl version is that in Brawl, it's a more drastic reduction.

I think it's kinda gay that people can't deal with projectile spammers. All you really have to do is go in and that renders their projectiles useless. The only really annoying projectile spammers are Falco and his SH lasers and a good Samus missile canceller, which is hard to find since not too many people play her well. Still though, I don't think it was changed in Brawl because people bitched. I think it was just Sakurai's idea.

Samus's Missle Canceller is crazy. I would forfit if I knew that my opponent could do that. The Missle Cancel is when Samus fires a missle and L Cancels so she can fire another one, its best used on stages with platforms close to the ground like Dream World and Battlefield so you can fire a missle, drop down, L Cancel, fire a missle, jump up fire a missle, etc. I could never pull it off well, but I got the hang of her Super Wavedash.

Damnit, Sarhan, you stole my post!

Anyway, the thing I'm happy about is my friends who abuse certain smash moves, like Peach's down-smash, won't have the same knockback every hit anymore. Also, I wonder how this'll affect Fox/Falco/Wolf's reflector's distance? Fox's was always the same no matter the damage, I remember, but if knockback decreases with usage, something else might happen. Maybe this will give way to a whole 'nother universe of Fox combos?

This also might mean that infinites aren't infinite anymore? I don't know much about them, but since you have less damage/knockback per repeated hit, the same move over and over again against a wall might eventually allow a tech or uzemaki or something? I don't know.

The perfect shield might become a big thing, I don't know. It seems interesting. I'll have to practice with that!

It's cool that they recognized short hops, and it sounds like they're easier to do, now. just end the jump before the starting animation, as opposed to lightly tapping the buttons.

Glancing Blows and swimming don't seem that interesting. I think Pivot Grabs will become pretty important, if they increase range. Also, the Breaking Reflectors bit I guess stops the Black Hole glitch!

Great update today, imo. Really cool that they did this.

Anyway, Belross... Can you shed some light on the WiFi play modes? Is With Anyone really only 2-minute matches?

Actually, missile cancels are performed by firing a missile the last possible second before you hit the floor or a platform. You don't have to l-cancel since the firing animation ends as soon as you touch the ground. It's hard to master at first, but if you practice for a bit, it's pretty easy. You just have to have very good timing and focus.

SWD is even harder to do consistently than missile cancels. In my Samus prime, I used to be able to do it like...40% of the time. Since I've stopped playing with her as often, it's dropped a lot. The main thing with any sort of AT is to keep up with your practice just to keep the timing down.

I can't figure out the Wii menus enough to set up a wireless connection. As it is, it just gives me some kind of error when I select the Wi-Fi menu, so I can't even set up a match to see what kind of options there are.

I can answer his question. Yes, with anyone is only 2 minute timed matches. No way to change it.

The only thing that's really changed about him is his up and side B-moves. There are probably some other minor differences, and he seems ever so slightly faster, but for the most part he just LOOKS a lot different. Still hits like a beast though.

Oh, 1 more question. I swear!
How about DeDeDe? When they revealed him, I wanted to know! He looks like a slow and powerful character.
Again, thanks.

Dedede is definitely the slowest, but the most powerful, character (the head of his mallet is bigger than Kirby himself.) I read somewhere that he can KO Mario from the center of FD at 30%, and I believe it. Almost all his moves have immense wind-up and lag, but they hit VERY hard. His down-B is cool, too; it starts to charge his rocket hammer, and you can hold the animation as long as you like while moving and jumping until you are ready to release it. His up-B is like Bowser's, except it throws off little stars that can hit people like Yoshi's up-B. So basically he is slower, more powerful, and has longer reach and more recovery than Bowser.

Sarhan, I'd like to hear why you think DLC is unlikely in Brawl since you probably know the most about it.  I'm not aware of all the reasoning behind it.

As far as I know, the Wii doesn't have enough memory to support a ton of DLC. Characters take up a nice chunk of memory so that's out of the window. That's why you can't download stages made by others and submitted for the daily stage thing they have planned. That's also why you'll need an SD card if you plan on building a lot of stages of your own.

@Belross: All of those "X can kill Mario at Y% at the center of final destination" things are based off of Mario just standing there and not DIing or trying to get back on to the stage. It just basically shows how much percentage Mario needs to have before the move can potentially knock him off the stage (and I believe the move has to be fully charged in case of a smash attack).

Oh, and quick questions for you. I heard that Ganondorf's warlock punch grants him super armor and Captain Falcon can change the direction of his falcon punch mid charge. Are these rumors true?

EDIT: Nevermind the Captain Falcon thing. Just saw a vid showing it works.

I keep on hearing people talking about missile canceling not being in this game, and I hadn't really heard of it til now, youtube searched it, and came across this:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=0fnlfw_dH_g

The Samus is cancelling the missiles pretty high off the ground. You can cancel them a lot lower in Melee, unless this player just sucks.

I know how you feel.  Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of smash brothers, but I think there's a certain point at which one should draw the line.  All these advanced techniques and cutting things down to fractions of seconds timing...it's just too over the top for me.  Maybe it's more interesting to other people, but I think it's ridiculous to take something simple so far out.

Pretty nice update, knowing that the stage builder has additional parts to build with. Although, as a downside, Yoshi is still the worst character in any fighting game ever.

Sarhah, could we get that video? Sounds like an interesting new mechanic for Falcon.

That's the toughest part of using any advanced technique. It's the reason I almost gave up, but a friend of mine kept on practicing and I didn't want him to get better than me, so I practiced it too until I was able to use it effectively. Needless to say, I got my ass kicked many times while trying to integrate it into normal gameplay because of how often I messed up.

And they didn't do anything with the Poltergust, either.  I sometimes wonder just how far they're willing to push their creativity.

AFJDKJFDSKFds. It's stupid!

I mean, I figured, HOW THE FUCK COULD THEY NOT DO THIS. They gave Mario his FLUDD, which PUSHES the enemies away, and made his cyclone a regular move... Okay. It would have been PERFECT to give Luigi the Poltergust, and make him SUCK IN ENEMIES. But now he still has the cyclone as a move. That's fucking ass.

They found a pretty cool new technique in Brawl. You can change your direction in midair with B moves. You used to be able to do it in Melee but only with a few characters. In Brawl you can do it with anyone plus you have much more control over your momentum. To do it, you have to be in the air facing one direction, use your B move, and quickly tap the control stick in the opposite direction.

Here's the vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npHX8BkXYCI

Awesome! That's a very useful trick. I would try to do that in Melee several times but I'd end up doing my side B, and for characters like Luigi it's not preferred.

Agreed. Hopefully I'll luck out and have to face noobs in my gamestop. I want that prize.

Oh, and I think the tournament is a few hours before the game is released. That's why it says March 8 on the site. Just a guess.

Don't know if I'm allowed to do this here or not, but a few of my friends and I got together the other day and played Melee. We recorded some videos and I youtubed a few of them (working on getting the rest up).

Have you played Brawl? All you need to wavedash is be able to
press the shield button while slaming on a diagonal down direction
and jumping at the same time. Is there no secondary jump button?

I know how to wavedash. You can't control your airdodge anymore like you could in Melee. In Brawl, when you airdodge, you go towards the direction you were already heading in. This means if you jump and try to airdodge while hitting down+left/right, you'll airdodge straight up.

Uh, lots of shit still applies from Melee to Brawl and vice-versa. Sure Wavedashgin/Wavelanding and L-cancelling are gone but edgehogging, dash dancing, crouch cancels and more "standard" things are still in.

Wiikey supports the dual-layer disc (i'm a lazy shit and didn't download/burn the dual-layer dump, I unlocked everything anyway).

The reason SSE doesn't work is because most of the movies save a few are on the dual layer, the first cutscene being on that layer, so it crashes once it gets there.

I'm Ban. My friend saw the vids and gave me one star ratings on all the videos where he loses and comments me saying "boo," but 5 start the vid where he wins and comments about how awesome it was.

But yeah, he's one of the guys I'm going to the Brawl tourney with at Gamestop. Hopefully either him, my other friend, or I will end up winning.

EDIT: Tournament Rules: http://www.gamestop.com/gs/ssbb/tournament/ssbbtourney_rules.asp

Basically each match is one minute, single elimination. If you want to participate, you have to show up half an hour in advance to register. It seems like you don't need a reservation to participate. Brawl's tournament mode will be used.

From what I've heard, battlefield will be the only stage, items will be on, and only the starting roster is allowed. That's just a rumor though. I've also heard rules depend on the store itself. We'll see in a few days. All I know is, I get a chance to play Brawl tomorrow.

Post by: Sarhan on February 25, 2008, 02:40:08 am
Got a chance to play Brawl yesterday. Man is it badass. Only played with Marth and Meta Knight. Did around 10 matches total. My first game I got 2 stocked (out of 3 stocks). The next match I beat the guy who owns the game and ended his 13 win streak. After that, I ended up winning 5 matches in a row. A Pit player beat the guy who beat me and he then proceeded to beat down everyone in the place for around 15 matches straight. Pit is oh so broken. 5 jumps plus an amazing recovery, good speed, good priority, fast attacks, projectile...insane.

Marth is awesome in Brawl. He plays very similarily to his Melee counterpart. Took me a while to get used to him because I was trying to wavedash, l-cancel, and JC grab. Nothing's more amusing than running up to your opponent expecting a JC grab only to end up jumping and airdodging. I was starting to get out of the habit after the 8th match or so.

Brawl is going to kill the Melee fanbase. It'll die so insanely fast. I went back to play Melee a bit after the guy with Brawl left and it just felt so outdated. The graphics look so shitty and the game just seems like it's run its course. Nobody will play it after Brawl, even the most die-hard players.

Damn.

Well, it looks like I WILL be around for the US launch after all, so I should be able to participate in the tourney and whatever. I am looking forward to testing my skill against you all.

Awesome. That makes 25 people, unless Mateui's in. Which leads me to my next question...Mateui, are you in?

Tournament Tips (for people participating in the Gamestop tournament):

In case you don't know, the first tournament will be ran using the Wii's own tournament mode. Each match is only one minute long. As far as additional rules are concerned, it seems likely that all items will be on. Stages will be either random or battlefield only. More likely than not, only the starting roster will be allowed. This is how earlier Nintendo tournaments were done. What does this mean for you?

Well, since there is no stock, the person who gets the most kills in the first minute will win. Since you've probably never played the game, you will want to test out the controls first and get a feel for the game, but this will screw you over since you only have one minute to get a KO. Instead, you should focus on camping. It may be cheap, but if you want to win, this would be your best bet. Camp items and punish your enemy's mistakes. Shield grab a lot.

When it comes to picking a character, you may want to avoid characters that have bad KO moves. This includes Meta Knight and Sonic. You want to pick either powerful characters, characters you're familiar with from Melee/64, or characters that are balanced all around. Kirby, Pit, Ike, Mario, and Fox come to mind.

Basically, to sum it up, you should:
-Pick a character that you're familiar with, is very powerful, or is well balanced.
-Camp and camp a lot. Dodge, roll, shieldgrab, and chuck items at your enemies.
-If you get a smash ball, try not to choke and use it only when you know you'll connect because it may be your only kill.
-If you opponent gets the smash ball, either beat it out of them (only when you're sure your hits will connect) or dodge around like a madman (only do this if you're already a kill ahead).

This is the biggest tip I can give you but it's also kinda cheap:

When you get a KO in timed matches, you get one point for killing your opponent and your opponent gets -1 for getting killed. This will leave you at +1 and them at -1. When your hit percentage gets really high, to avoid a kill, you could just suicide, which will give you -1, putting you at 0, but still ahead of your enemy. This will prevent a tie by preventing the enemy from killing you and will bring you back to life with 0%, allowing you to live the rest of the match. Make sure you do not suicide after already getting hit in the air since it will count as a kill for the enemy. You have to land on the ground and then run/jump off without getting hit in the process. It's cheap, but if you get a KO and want to keep the lead, it's the best thing you can do.

Also, if you played Melee and used advanced techniques of any kind, make sure you play an hour or two but avoid using the advanced techniques completely to get used to not doing them. It caused me many deaths when I was playing Brawl and would have probably screwed me over at the tournament.

Oh, and if you want to play just for the hell of it, then by all means, go for it. This advice is only for people who actually want to win and would like a bit of an upper hand.

Man you played 10 matches and only played two characters, only one of them being new? If you like Marth, you should have tried Ike since he is FANTASTIC. Well I guess the game will be out soon, but it seems such a waste! I agree that Pit is pretty rad; my friend was playing as him a lot last night and was owning us. He is very fast and well-balanced, and even has a reflector. And his arrow is so annoying.

I've been having a ton of fun playing as Dedede. Even though he is super slow, once you get the hang of his timing you can speed him up a lot. Some of his moves, like his sidestep, aerials, and forward tilt-A, are surprisingly fast. For the most part he has little lag between moves. His hammer has decent range (especially his forward tilt) and his A combo is killer, almost as good as Ike's (which is insane.) And of course Dedede packs an incredible wallop... So even though he is hard to win with, it is a blast just to play as him, throwing Waddle Dees/Doos around and Jet Hammering people in the FACE.

Yeah, you're right. I mostly wanted to get a feel for the differences in physics and since Marth was my main in Melee, I figured I'd be able to notice all the small details best with him. Should've played with Kirby though since I'm probably going to use him for the gamestop tournament, but meh.

Ike seems cool, but slower characters aren't my style for the most part. I'm horrible at timing slow moves, which is one of the reasons my Fair's with Dr. Mario and Ganondorf don't connect well. Dedede looks cool just because of the chaingrab and waddle dee spam, and his Ftilt, Dair, and Fair all seem like really good moves.

Oh yeah, Dedede also throws capsules instead of Waddle Dees about 2% of the time, even if items are turned off. These capsules can contain just about any item in the game, including Smash Balls. That's right, even with items turned off, Dedede can generate a Smash Ball. I will seriously laugh my ass off when that happens in a tournament and some self-righteous nerd just about has a stroke.

So I went to gamestop today to ask about tournament specifics. They know almost nothing about the tournament. No idea which characters will be unlocked, no idea what stages will be allowed, what items, etc, but I'm assuming it'll be only the starting roster (at least at my GS) with items.

Our tournament will be starting at 10 PM on March 8th. They're taking sign ups before the tournament even begins, not 30 minutes in advance like the website said they were. When I asked them about it, they didn't even have a list going, so they made one on the spot and I was the first name on the list. I doubt my gamestop will have many participants because of the fact that the tournament isn't really advertised much so most people don't even know about it unless they happen to go to the GS website. Hopefully they'll start advertising it locally sometime soon. Either way though, it's a win-win for me. If a lot of people sign up, it'll be more fun, but if only a few participate, I have a good chance of winning.

Since the tournament starts at 10 PM, I'm assuming they'll have the wii set up ahead of time and will allow people to play a bit before it starts. Might be a good idea to go and check to see if you can get some practice matches in if you haven't played Brawl yet.

Oh, and from the rumors that have been floating around, the winner of the first place tournament supposedly gets a free copy of Brawl.

I like Lucas better than Ness. His A moves, especially his smash attacks and aerials, seem improved over Ness', and he uses a lot of "psi" flair or whatever in his regular attacks, which pack a nice punch. Of course Ness had that gay yo-yo so that's not saying much. His PK Fire is different, but not necessarily "better," just a different because it has a ton of knockback instead of trapping them in one place. There are some other minor differences in his magic which were posted on the Dojo. Oh and he uses a snake for his grab so he has a bit more range, but it's not terribly long... still handy in some situations though.

I can understand the starting roster for the GW tournament, since it's early and not everyone will have all the characters unlocked-- but one minute matches? Especially with items on (I have no problem with items, I like them), it doesn't seem long enough to really be useful. (Unless I misread, the rules we're using for the GW tourney are the same as the gamestop ones?)


Regarding the gamestop tournaments--does anyone know if there's an entry fee?

We aren't using the same rules. So far, I'm thinking 3 stock, any stage, with items for the first one and 3 stock, select stages (I believe it was around 15-20 stages), no items for the second, but I've gotta talk to NB and others in #capcom. That's just what I was thinking, but no way in hell are we doing GS rules.

And no, there is no entry fee for the GS tournaments.

Are you saying you don't know of the SSB series? http://Http://www.smashbros.com just in case.
The single player modes mostly focus on training the player in using items and going against skilled opponents, 1 or 3, even teams. Super Smash Bros is focused around an all-out fast-paced battle to be the last one standing. It's hardly just a single-player. I'd guess the single player mode would get tiresome due to not having any competition, playing the same CPUs that fight the same way in every situation, like a uniform.

 :fogetshifty:

















Well actually, believe it or not, I'm a little disappointed. Nintendo announced during development that "there will be at least 50 different playable characters" but there are exactly 38 different playable characters. Well, to be honest, there are 36 slots, one of the slots being a "random select" slot. But I'm counting multiple playing characters like the Squirtle/Ivysaur/Charizard combo, or the Zelda/Shiek combo. It's kind of a relief seeing Wolf O'Donnell or R.O.B. the Robot are in the brawl. :woop: However I did notice some interesting assist trophies, like Waluigi and his fury kick technique... so... have anyone else saw how weird Luigi's or Mr.GameandWatch's final smashes were?

It sounds great, but when you realize that it's a national tournament between all gamestops (probably involving travel to the finals) and people who have imported the game and have been training for months.

Unless I'm mistaken, but I really don't think that they're doing this massive prize at each gamestop tournament.

When did they say that there would be 50 characters in Brawl?

Yeah, that prize is for the 4th tournament only, in which 8 people will participate. The skill gap between the importers and anyone who gets it on March 9th won't be too large since the importers have had it only a month before them. It'll be pretty easy to catch up to them since the final tournament is a month after U.S. release. Plus if they're allowing items and any stage/character, luck becomes a pretty important factor and can give even a mediocre player an advantage over an importer.

Although Marth really hasn't changed much from his melee version. You should have played with someone else to really feel Brawl. That was a waste, dude. ;_;

I tried out Meta Knight a bit too. Figured I'd just get in as many matches as possible to get a feel for the physics and Marth was my best in Melee, so I though he'd be easy to pick up and play. That Ike guy (Mendoza) is usually a beast with Ike. I was so shocked when I raped him that hard. Marth might have a huge advantage over Ike though. And yeah, the first two matches against Wario and Ice Climbers have me trying to wavedash and JC grab a ton. Took a few matches to start getting out of the habit.

But man, this game is so fucking good. I can't wait. 11 days left.

Only played Marth and Meta Knight. Link is pretty much exactly like how he was in Melee from what the people I was playing with were saying. He's changed, some attacks got buffed, some got nerfed, but overall, if you compare him to the other characters, he's in the exact same position he was in Melee. Maybe this will change in the future since not that many people play him, but as it is right now, he's pretty average (maybe even a bit below average).

Yeah, Link hasn't really moved on the totem pole. Some attacks got worse (off the top of my head, you can't L-cancel his down-air, his up-B is crappier (although you can charge it on the ground, there is almost no circumstance which you would actually do this) and he no longer has his continuous sword jab A-combo), some attacks got better (He seems a bit faster and stronger overall, his 3-hit A combo is better, boomerang picks up items and draws in enemies).

I should record some of my matches this Saturday, but all I have is my digital camera. I guess that works... Mostly we do 4 person, 3 stock with items low or off.

maaaaaaaad gay.


What? you got a problem with subspace emissary?
I didn't think of it of being bad or anything
my guess is yes, you can unlock all of them after doing something pacific first.

It was probably because we played Melee a HELLOFALOT that day... had to release tension a bunch of us quit... (I was supposed to open AND close that day but I called the manager at 10 and told him I quit... 10 is when the store opens he was FUCKED cuz his car was broken down so he had to call the ASM WHO ALSO QUIT thats also whos house i was at playing smash).

BTW: The only reason it was done was because we were being treated unfairly and because our complaints fell on the deaf ears on our DM and RM.

Yeah, what happened to the days when you had to play the game for 20 hours straight just to unlock one character?

You have to do special things to unlock 2-3 of them, but it's still in SSE.

Has anyone been to the tournaments in cali? I'm going to the one in Boston on sat and I want to get an idea of what to expect.

Are you talking about Melee or Brawl? If Melee, prepare to get your ass kicked hard.

If you're talking about Brawl though, you really shouldn't have much to worry about. Everyone is pretty much the same skill level right now. Just don't get intimidated, stay cool, and you'll be fine.

Everyone's a noob in Brawl. After a match or two, you'll have just as much of a chance as they do.

EDIT: Just so you guys know, gamestop is supposed to be replacing their SMG kiosks with Brawl on either March 4th or 5th (most likely 5th). Might be a good idea to go try it out if you're participating in the tournament.

There are special requirements.  For most of them, you either get them to join you in the Subspace Emissary, you complete some specific objective, or you play a certain number of Brawls.  There's info on the Dojo about how to unlock each character, so you don't have to do it through the Emissary if you don't want to.

I went to Gamestop last night and asked about their tournament. The guy behind the counter knew nothing about it, and tried to convince me it would probably be at the Hilton hotel, the same place the halo tournament is going to be.
He referred me to the website at the bottom of the big poster, but I forget the address and I don't care.

Looks like I'll be signing up March 8th!

Haha...same here. I already requested off work on Sunday. My plan is this:

Get to gamestop at 7 or so and practice for the tournament on the Brawl kiosk.
Enter the tournament at 10 (and hopefully win it).
Grab my copy at midnight, run to my friend's house, and play until around 5 in the morning.
Go home, sleep, wake up at 10 or 11, and play the rest of the day.

I don't think I'm even going to be eating much that Sunday.

Brawl will kill my academic life.

Yeah, different gamestops have been saying different things. When I signed up, the guy said he didn't think you had to preorder (and he was the manager). Other people have said you do need to have it reserved.

Basically, the only thing you can be sure of is that there is no consistency in this first tournament.

Guys I dunno what to do. I already have my preorder with toys r us but I want to go to the midnight tournament at gamestop too. It seems silly to go to the bootleg tournament and then wait in line with toys r us, which is close by, until the next day so I can use my preorder when I could get it basically the night before. I dunno if I can return it though, and it has been 2 months since I bought it.

Btw, people are lining up for tomorrow's tournament right now, I'm gonna try to get down there as soon as I can, I'll post about my exp when I get back.

For all those of you who have already played it, how are the other control schemes like? Obviously the gamecube one is the standard one that I'm sure almost everyone will be using, but I'm curious as to how the other 3 methods hold up and if there any advantages to using them? For example, is Snake's FS easier to aim since you can point with the wii remote instead of using the analog stick?

I'm just going to paste my LJ entry because I'm too tired to type much.

I have absolutely no regrets though, I had a lot of fun, and the match was a close 3 - 4 . For my first time at it I think I did pretty good, the character I chose was Diddy.

No excuses here, I gave it my best, and I look forward to next Saturdays Gamestop tournament.

I love Marth. In melee, he's my favorite/best, but I play with Ice Climbers, Samus, Young Link, Sheik, and Dr. Mario all the time. Marth is just my go-to guy when I feel like beating everyone down.

In Brawl, Marth will probably be my best as well, but I'm planning on using Wolf, Luigi, Olimar, Kirby, Toon Link, Ike, Meta Knight, Lucario, and Diddy Kong.

Everything. I'm sorry to bash, but you really have NO CLUE if you think any of them are cloned from any other. Each of their B's are similar in concept, but drastically different in how they'd execute. Falco's reflector shoots out, Wolf's blaster is different, etc etc. Additionally, all their A moves are pretty much different as well. Falco has Fox's up smash, but altered... That's it. Everything else is different.

Dude I probably saw you there. I was wearing a black and white zelda shirt with a leatherr jacket plus beard. I lost 2-3 on the first round, barely. PLayed as piitt, who's pretty cool man. The exp was increidable, really invigorarating and inspiring thuogh. I got to meet KDJ, a pro smash bros player with a mean ring that says ssbm on one hand, and kdj on the other, and a bunch of other hardcore dudes. KDJ won the whole bloody thing in a some pretty epic matches featuring shiek. I was like I wanted to cry man, it was just so beautiful.

The unfair thing is that  a large group of kids either downloaded the japanese version of the game and burned it to disc, or imported it and has been playing for a month so they have mad exp that they used for the tournament. The game is ill as, but the controls for reg wiimote are gay. For the classic controller is alright but from what I hear the cube controller is best.

It was nice becasuse even after you lose you can still play outside of the tournament. I used an altered id to get in because I'm 17, I bascally put a sticker that I printed setting my birthday a year back. Wasn;t sure if it would fly but the guy didn't say anything, he just kinda looked at me. I got some ill swag like wii gloves and keychain, some kids got bunches of them to like sell or whatever. Basically got there at 8:30 and just chilled for mad hours.

I was this...generic looking guy (black t-shirt and jeans...I have no style). I fought on booth 7.

But yeah it was great, sadly I had to leave early so I didn't really get to mingle with anybody (I doubt I would have anyways, I'm terrible at talking to people :<) And I apparently I missed a really good final match, although I'm sure it will appear online soon.

Pound is okay, but rest and rollout are both predictable and easily avoided. Rest requires you to be on top of the opponent while doing it so it's kinda hard to pull off as well.

The giant Jigglypuff glitch doesn't increase your hitboxes at all. The game still thinks you're normal size. The only thing that changes is your appearance. There is literally no advantage to that glitch. If anything, it'll put you at a disadvantage because you won't be able to see where you should be attacking.

That's what makes it challenging. If you can find a tactical way for you to put those moves to your advantage then alot of new oppotunities will show up. It's a great way to build your skills for any character. Besides its final smash isn't that bad neither. Plus it makes it super humiliating for the opponent if they loose from the attack.

This is why Purin one of is the most underrated character in the Smash franshise.

Besides, I just choose to fight as Purin because I'm really good with it.

I heard he did get stronger, but his lack of a good up-B of any sort while every other character has a buffed one is retarded. I mean... They could have replaced it, right? Who uses the egg toss, really? Is it THAT game breaking to have some sort of egg-jump thing instead?

So I see someone played with Olimar. I'm curious. Is he just useless against characters with deflection abilities? Also, can Pikmin be caught like other thrown projectiles? Is there any significance of the Pikmin's ghosts? What does it feel like to play with Olimar and Pikmin? It just peaks my interest - an all projectile character with so many deflector abilites floating around... Anyone?

The only Olimar attack that can be reflected like a projectile is his side-B, where he throws Pikmin and they latch on to enemies to do damage. The rest of them are treated like normal attacks and can't be reflected. Olimar is, in fact, extremely difficult to fight against. All of his attacks have a lot of range and do good damage, he is hard to predict since he is always obscured by his Pikmin, and when you do attack him you often end up hitting the Pikmin instead. It's really annoying, and my friend who sometimes plays as him is pretty much undefeated.

Post by: xcosmicsoulx on March 04, 2008, 12:21:01 pm
I knew that once I saw him in there, he'd be a solid character. I seriously think he's gonna be one of those surprise top-tier characters. And about "hitting the Pikmin instead"... Does each Pikmin take an attack to kill? Does that mean a side-B can be caught like an item? Or is it just like a fireball? I saw gameplay on Youtube, but he didn't let the other guy do anything to defend against Olimar's attacks. It was a demonstration of how Olimar plays, but it was somewhat vague. On a sidenote, I never got the opportunity to play either Pikmin games. Any weight difference on Mr. Game & Watch? (I prefer to use his entire name. He deserves it. :P) On another note...

Has anyone bought one of those new "Old-School Style Wii controllers?" I was thinking about picking up some if they're more reliable than GC controllers.

Shadow should've been on Brawl - wtf...

EDIT: I meant Knuckles and Tails. Consider the Starfox Union and the Poke-Mafia. It's ridiculous.
Knuckles and Tails would be ideal instead of more Pokemon because they're
vintage characters, and with the release of Pit and Meta Knight with their
gliding abilities, why would Knuckles and Tails not be viable choices?

I'm gonna have to argue the hell out of that. How many Pokemon were there?
151. Now how many are there? How far apart is Pikachu from freaking Lucario?
I think characters who become important in the storyline, who are allies of the
main character, ie - Falco to Fox - should deserve consideration. I have to know.

I agree with him. It'd be stupid as shit to include multiple characters from one third party franchise when you can just swap them in for characters from other third parties.

And there are wayyyyy more Pokemon than just 151. You're thinking of the very first generation. I just checked the website and they have 490 listed.

I don't mind that they added more Pokemon, especially since one of them is three-in-one.  Lucario's the only really new Pokemon they added, and that seems to be out of his sheer popularity among fans.

There are other characters I would've liked to see in Brawl, but it's no use complaining about it now, and it's still going to be an awesome game.  They're already way above average, so maybe they can afford to slack off a little bit...

Uh, Brawl has the same number of pokemon as Melee did...
Not to mention, Pokemon is a first party game, and it's the second to top selling franchise in the world.

But I can understand Falco and . I'm pretty sure about 80% of the smash fanbase was thinking 'wtf' when we found out they were included. I think most people didn't believe Falco was returning, and that Krystal was a shoe-in.

Plus I'm sure even Knights had a better chance being in brawl than Knuckles or Tails did, since he at least his own game coming out. Actually pretty much any third party, save Capcom, had a better chance for a character than Knuckles or Tails. Look at Snake.

Do you mean the Classic Controller?  I personally think it's pretty awful.  It's a decent controller as fun as function goes, but it's pretty cheap-feeling and it gives me terrible cramps in my forearms when I use it.  I think this may just be a clash with hand size versus controller size though so I don't know.  Also I tend to cramp up pretty easily.  I prefer it over the Gamecube controller though because I feel that the buttons are placed pretty much randomly on the Gamecube pad.

Anyway yeah in summary I think that the Classic Controller is better than the Gamecube controller and definitely way better than the sideways Wiimote.

They do the exact same stuff. Only thing that's changed is the inability to light shield. You have to press the L/R buttons all the way to shield in Brawl.

Also, you can customize what each button does.

Jump button. I'm glad they gave an option to disable up jumping. Sometimes when I play link I end up jumping before using his B-Up.

I think they're the same size actually. The only reason you can't lightshield anymore is because some controller options don't have analog capability, so it'd be unfair if you could do it with one controller but not all.

I've tried to teach myself to use the button but I just can't. I have to say though, I do accidentally make wrong moves because of using the 'up.'

I use the jump buttons. Short hopping is ten times easier and you're able to jump and quickly follow up with a down B or a Dair because you can jump and hit down right away instead of having to hit up and then down on the control stick. Just like with using the c-stick for aerials, using the jump buttons basically gives you better DI control and helps with spacing.

Getting rid of "Up" jump would help a lot when trying to do up attacks, so you don't have to worry about accidentally jumping. The only problem I had because I used X to jump was that I sucked at the No Specials Gameplay mode in Melee (You could only use the control stick and like A).

Hey I got a question: Has anyone played against CPUs? If they have, how much more intelligent would you say they've become versus difficulty 9 on Melee? Are there any retarded glitches such as Fox's movement loop on the lower part of the Hyrule Temple, Captain Falcon's down air-smash A jumping move versus an opponent on a high platform, Luigi's inability to simply do his Up+B recovery instead of F/Smash+B "Green  Missile" attack, or Marth's constant Midair+A suicide loop? I hope my question is clear and I didn't confuse anyone in the process.

And I believe I'm on the 3rd-party issue. :P

Yeah, I had that whole problem with hitting up while trying to do up tilts. Luckily, they've added a feature to remove being able to jump with the control stick, so I should be much more efficient with my attacks.

Level 9's are actually a challenge for most ok players.


If you're a pro, well, it's the best AI you'll prolly get unless if they became Super Turbo AI. (please no)

If I can't use Falcon, I really have no chance at all of winning, my next big character being Ness, and I doubt Lucas will be of any worth, especially if his PK thunder just passes through enemies.

Man, I wanna play all you guys but I don't have a Wii, and when I'm at my friends house we're all just gonna fight each other and unlock stuff before I head on home. Maybe next time I visit I'll try you guys online. ;(

EDIT: God I'm so fucking psyched! Every hour that passes makes me long to play it even more. :fogetcry:

Don't let anybody psyche you out by listening to their conciet of skill.
If you do, it'll mess with your split second decision making in Brawl.
What I'm saying is, and don't let this get to you: I know I'd beat Sarhan
in Melee, no questions. In Brawl, it's only a matter of me playing for a bit
to pick up the differences. I'll give out the WiiCode once I feel I'm ready
for the lot of you.

I think I'll make a separate topic when Brawl is released. We can use the same thread to organize our first tournament a few weeks later as well. If any moderator would rather do it themselves, that's cool with me. Otherwise I'm making a thread as soon as I get Brawl at the midnight release.

I know I'd beat Sarhan
in Melee, no questions.

I don't know man. I'm actually somewhat better than those vids you may have seen of me. The DVD player I used to record vids causes a small amount of input lag, screwing me over whenever I try to l-cancel, WD, or waveland. I can easily 3 stock those guys in the videos if I play without recording with the DVD player.

Gonna sell my preorder for toys r us and get it from gamestop at the midnight launch/tournament. Do you think I would be alright not preordering at gamestop and just going straight up? I mean gamestop is a kind of low key place I don't think there will be too many people.

I'd preorder it just in case. Not sure about the gamestop in your area, but the ones near me get a lot of business, so I wouldn't necessarily consider them low key. Up to you though.

Agreed.  I think everyone's going to want a piece of Sarhan in this.  I'll add mine to a Wii code topic, but it's also in my sig.  Lookin' forward to fighting everybody...

Just went to my local gamestop, they're not doing midnight release. I gotta find another one. I went to sears too, but they didn't have it, I even asked some noob who had no idea but opened up the glass case and was looking through the games. Maybe he would have given it to me if I told him to look in the back.

If I were able to post vids of me, my friend and my brother playing, you'd understand why
I truely believe that I'd beat you, no questions asked. I hope we get a chance to prove
our conciets in time, Sarhan. Cheesy, same goes for you. We've been aching for new
blood for years. It'd be nice if you could find someone 75% as good as me to train against.

Doubt it. There are plenty of people here that could beat me in Melee. I do think I'll be above average in Brawl, but I'm usually kidding whenever I make cocky statements. I like to smack talk, but it backfires a lot. It's all in good fun. I'll be doing the same in Brawl, so I don't want anyone taking it personally and getting offended or thinking I'm some elitist ass.

But yeah, can't wait to play you guys. Only 25.5 hours until we get our hands on the game. Oh man...tomorrow will be the longest day ever. I've been waiting for this game for so long and after having to deal with the delays, I'm glad it's almost here. Luckily two of my buddies and I will get together and play melee until it's time for the GS tourney, so that should help pass the time.

By the way, good luck to everyone participating in the tournament tomorrow. Here's a rehash of the rules for most gamestops:

-1 minute matches
-Items on
-Battlefield only (rumor, but very likely because of previous Brawl tournaments)
-Starting roster only
-Wii-mote + nunchuck for the controller. Here's the default button configuration:

EDIT: lmao...supposedly, this is the trophy you get for winning the first gamestop tournament.


I want it bad.

So how many preorders have been sold at your local game retail? There's been over 300 preorders at this small dinky gamestop near campus. However I talked to the manager and he said it'd be cool if I came over at 5 and played the game early with him :)​.

I'll knock down Sarhan if he stops using that chump Marth.

Sorry, you only get to make those lists after you become an opper on #capcom or a mod on SWF/SB. Know what's funny about them too? Damn scrubs keep coming back for more so you can't scratch off their names.

Wish I had a wireless network yet so I could play online on my Wii. Probably going to have to wait until the second or third batches of SSBB copies comes out if the burned copies turn out to not be able to connect online before I can even start playing online. You scrubs better consider yourselves lucky Sarhan, cosmicsoul and myself won't be together for an epic beatdown on your collective asses.

Raziel, if you don't have wireless internet, you could always track down a wired internet adaptor for the Wii.  You could use the same connection you have on your computer (and it's more reliable that way, too).

As for all the trash talkin'....I don't care if I win or lose.  I just love a good fight.  You guys might beat me, but I'm not going to make it easy for you!

Seriously speaking though, I always try to sound epic, really for no particular reason. It's just a habit. I guess it's a persona I've developed through my years of mimicing the ancience of Christopher Lee, also possibly that one Maechen historian guy that tells you all that stuff about Spira in Final Fantasy 10.
Anyway, I main G&W also, but I may main Link or Mario, but with the new changes... I can't tell just yet.
I only like to play on the Hyrule Temple, Final Destination, and Battlefield, so maybe my skills will be hindered due to environment changes. I have recently been fighting on random stages, though. And sorry for starting to sound 'jackassy.' I'm just confident and zealous as always.

About the tournament: I'll hopefully be able to make it to the Uvalde/Woodforest location in my area.
Good luck to you all who participate.

Shit son. Six hours until the tournament begins. I am PUMPED! At the same time, I'm scared shitless. Getting used to the wiimote and nunchuck combo will be tough, especially with one minute matches.

Oh yeah, look for a brand new Brawl thread around midnight. I got the "ok" from NinjaPirate so it'll be up when I get back from gamestop. This will probably be the last you hear from me until then. Going to hang out with my girlfriend and play Melee with some friends afterwards to kill the time.

I'll have it within an hour or so, and I'll probably head straight Versus to try out a couple of my old favorites and some of the cooler newcomers. I've got to get up relatively early, though, so I haven't got much time past midnight. Tomorrow I'll definitely try everything out, but I'm not sure what to do as soon as I put it in my Wii.

It was a lot of fun, and everyone was so energetic.

While the rules were pretty bad and the controller...yeah, I had a lot of fun.
I made it to round 2 this time, and lost to the eventual winner of the tournament. (In a sudden death, uff)
Both rounds were good matches. :^)

I don't have a Wii, but almost everyone who does have a Wii in my dorms has this game, so getting in game time shouldn't be to difficult.
