Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Gen. Discussion & Info

Nice. Hyrule Temple and Corneria were my two favorite stages the last go-around. Now I'll just be pullin' for DK's Melee stage.

Anyone else surprised by the amount of Metroid stages? That makes three.

Shit. Well, I hope they have a similar map at least. How else will I be able bomb jump back to the stage and grapple the wall to fling myself back up?
 
[quote name='Nohbdy']Final Destination de-confirmed.[/quote] What? I doesn't say that this is the final Melee stage update anywhere in the update today. It just says "So here are some more stages that can also be played in Super Smash Bros. Brawl!"


It doesn't say here are the rest of the Melee stages. That implies to me that we'll get even more Melee stages then the 6 we've seen so far.
 
I like that they're bringing back a bunch of the old stages. It never made sense to me when games completely abandoned old stages. We have a new Halo? Why not bring back several of the old levels? I realize that gameplay changes sometimes unbalance a previously well-balanced level, but a lot of times it just seems like an odd design choice. SSBM seems to be getting it right.
 
3 Metroid stages? Seems like Ridley is a shoe in now!

Also no Final Desination? No Problem! Just use the stage builder to make one.

Cripes, no kidding.

Want a FD clone, people? 30 seconds in the stage builder.

Plus, it'll be a good indicator that I shouldn't play with you, because you're onnadems elitist nuts that's going to turn off items.

Sigged for great justice.

Oh yeah! I forgot about that. I'm happy again :D
 
Does anyone honestly believe Captain Falcon, Luigi and the like will be gone from Brawl?
I mean, I heard somewhere that secret characters won't be shown. I think all the original secret characters from 64 will be secret in Brawl. There is no reason to get rid of them

Yeah I doubt they'll drop any characters from Melee. I wouldn't be surprised if some get replaced though (for example Young Link with Wind Waker/Phantom Hourglass Link).
 
I really hope we have a few surprise secret characters. If we don't get any more character updates, then it'll be almost 100% that characters like.. Luigi..Capt Falcon.. Jigglypuff, Ness, and maybe even Mewto will be secret characters.

But I'd love to see some NEW characters that are secret. Anyone have a feeling they will do this? I do. I'm not sure if it's "I hope they do" or "I'm certain they will".
 
I really hope they don't drop any characters. Even Pichu. I could accept seeing someone like Doctor Mario just made an alternate costume for regular Mario, but it doesn't look like that's happening. There's no way in hell they'd drop such an important character as Luigi, but I'd be very surprised to see Roy - a rather unimportant character as far as Fire Emblem goes - come back.

And I'm 99% certain there will be new characters not shown on the Dojo.
 
Do you think there will be lines outside the store for this? Because I'd actually like to wait in line, even though I pre-ordered. Waiting in line for the Wii was really fun, so maybe this will be the same.

Doubt it, I've never seen a line for any game actually. I just walk in the store, show my receipt, and I'm on my way.

Yeah, that's what I figured as well.

But now that I think about it, that's probably one of the criteria for which Melee stages they will be bringing back. DK's Melee Stage was really fun, but it would probably take five minutes to make in the stage builder. I mean, it's just one big platform and six small platforms; the barrel is probably a preset item in the stage builder.

I think he means midnight launch events. There probably will be events for Brawl, but they wouldn't be on the scale of Halo 3's.
 
Oh fuck, I just realized this comes out the 10th of Feb and since I don't have a car on campus I will need to go home that weekend. Problem it is the weekend of the fucking Daytona 500 and yeah neither me nor my parents want to leave. Hopefully I can convince them to pick it up and hand deliver it to me on that friday (Yes I could buy it online but this game is too important to have it shipped to my dorm and hope everything worksout because I don't trust my mail service one bit, lol). :lol:

As for characters I don't see any really not returning except for maybe Dr. Mario and possibly falcon, young link or pichu (but unlikely). The only character I really really want in this game is Megaman only so I can have a Megaman/Sonic/Mario battle :D
 
Mega Man Vs Sonic Vs Mario is a dream "NERD OUT!" battle.

I can still hope for a Protoss, though. Remember Starcraft 64, folks - Tassadar could happen. His final smash would have about a billion tiny aircraft fly around the battlefield, shooting the bejeebus out of everyone.

That, or he would incinerate the entire planet, leaving it a barren and lifeless rock floating around in a cold and indifferent universe. But some tournament nerds might complain that's imbalanced. fuck them, semi-omnipotent psychic aliens deserve their own god damn tier.

HOLY SHIT, ONLINE CO-OP

Good update today. Co-op and online co-op for this mode is great.
I also like how the fighting polygon team now look like Meteos characters.

Amen to that Strell just make levels you miss, I can't wait for the level builder in general.
 
Online seems like a blessing to me. Now I can wail on everyone.
/boasting

Seriously though, online co-op seems pretty cool. I wonder if that'll be part of a pre-req for unlocking a character? "Beat this Multi-Man mode in online co-op to unlock _____!"
 
Hooray for fighting Meteos :D

I like this update! Co-Op (regardless of local or WiFi) multi man battle is going to be addictive.

I wouldn't see that happening, as not everyone has Internet access with their Wii.

Then again, I'm sure they'd throw us another way to get them (playing X number of matches) like they did in Melee...so I suppose they could indeed unlock characters this way.
 
I just thought of something that would just make me lactate.

For Assist Trophies.
Imagine:
All 7 Koopa Kids.
Be it 1 trophy for each of them, or 1 trophy brings out all of them. Oh GOD that would be awesome. I miss them so much!! :cry:
 
I think the red guy looks like captain falcon, blue like zero-suit samus, green like kirby, and yellow like the animal crossing guy hmmmm...
 
I thought the yellow one looked like Pikachu, with the lightning hands, but then I realized they all have lightning hands. I wonder if the Fighting Polygon/Wireframe teams will appear as ATs.
 
Wow. Cool update!


[quote name='Strell']God I love Sakurai's comments.

"Red Alloy! He’s not the leader or anything!"[/quote]

"He looks like Kirby, but he's not!" :lol:
 
[quote name='Dr Mario Kart']Those guys look Meteos-y[/quote]

Glad someone else saw this. I thought the exact same thing when I saw this update.
 
Oh god. I just played Melee about an hour ago. It's been a long time since I've plated. I always knew it was great, but forgot how awesome it was. I think I'm going to make it a duty to play this a few times a week so I'm not completely retarded when Brawl comes.

Anyone else 'bout to start playing Melee again??
 
I wouldnt play it at all. You want a fresh start. Being able to move after air dodging, and also not controling dodge direction is gonna take some getting used to. You dont want to be used to how things work in Melee.

This is very true. I was thinking about that as I started--since I was really awkward with the controls.I only played for about an hour and that was when I started to get the hang of things again.

It just dawned on me today that Brawl is actually very , very close. A month and 2 days? We can manage that..I hope :cry:

Ugh. I'll throw up.

I have been hearing this for a couple weeks now, but I was holding back on it. Now the news just keeps hitting my inbox. I want to thank all of you for the tip, but I cannot stress enough that this is purely speculation.

A few retailers websites have moved Brawl’s release date to March. GameFly has it set for the March 10th, and GameCrazy has it listed for March 31st. I asked our rep about the situation, and I was given the ‘no comment on rumors’ answer. Take that as you will.

As far as anyone is concerned, the release date is still on for February. Keep your fingers crossed for things to stay that way.

Hmm.

...

...

Okay, I hereby predict that the next update will have Mega Man in it. And online voice chat. And the game comes with a free Snickers bar.


There. Let's see if that rumour shows up on GoNintendo in a couple of days.
 
Nice!
At least we'll be able to find out all the secret hidden characters really soon!
Personally I don't mind finding out whose in the game that haven't been revealed :bouncy:

So I wonder how long this blog is going to last?
 
[quote name='Mr. Roper']What are the chances I am going to run into a bunch of cheating fags like I do with Metroid Prime Hunters?[/QUOTE]

:roll:
Probably not as much since, as far as I know, there's really not much cheating going on in the Wii Wifi games. I could be wrong, but still. The DS games are completely different.
