Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Gen. Discussion & Info

[quote name='Rig']One thing Sakurai mentions in the interview:

Game Arts is the developer?! Did I miss that a while back? How long have they been known to be working on this?! THIS IS GREAT NEWS!

*looks below username*[/quote]They've been a secret since the beginning of the project. We knew staff were pulled from some outside studio, but this is the first time they've been named.
 
[quote name='Wolfkin']
You can't count like that. First off I must AGAIN remind everyone that just because they throw in a new character doesn't mean they're tossing an old character. Must I once again bring up the Lucas/Ness argument? Just because we've received semi-confirmation of Jigglypuff and Lucario doesn't mean Pichu and Mewtwo are no longer in the game. So Brawl DOES NOT have the same amount of pokemon characters as Melee.

I swear lilboo I blame you for starting this annoying rumor unnecessarily. Rather than assume that the sticker just couldn't be used on Mewtwo or more likely that Mewtwo wasn't unlocked. We assume that there is no Mewtwo. I feel like I'm stuck in the Matrix sequels.

I don't remember if I mentioned it earlier but I think a Pokemon spinoff Smash Bros game would be awesome. I played one of the Pokemon console games before and it was disappointing. If they made Smash Bros with all pokemon that would be awesome again.[/QUOTE]

It's not so much confirming that Mewtwo WON'T be in the game, but he was the big bad ass Pokemon of that time.. Lucario is the big bad ass these days. It doesn't confirm anything, but to guess that he replaced Mewtwo isn't all that asinine.

So because Charizard, Squirtle & Ivysaur are still playable, they need to be counted as different Pokemon? True. But they only take up the space of one player. As for Pichu, again, it doesn't mean that he WON'T be in the game..but having 4 slots for Pokemon characters is enough.

in the game is out of place, yet Mr. Game and Watch isn't? :lol:

Also, I still have no idea who "Star Wolf" or "Wolf" is....link? This isn't Fox, is it?

No this isn't Fox, this is his rival.
 
I don't want to give you the impression that I have anything but love for ya but [quote name='lilboo']Lucario is the big bad ass these days.

My point here is that there's no reason to assume that anyone won't 'make it back'. Everyone thought Ness wouldn't make it back. Lucas is practically a revamped Ness, and here we are months later with Ness all but confirmed. We're working with a ton more physical space comparatively. With Ness I'm 95% confident that we're losing noone. If we get any clones I'll bump that to 100%.

PTrainer is one character regardless of how many pokemon he controls. I don't argue that. But I think 6 pokemon out of 39 characters isn't too much when you weigh how popular the series is. I know MarkMan said 35 was the list but including the past and what we know of the present the series roster is 39 which is my guess for the final of Brawl. I'd actually go one more and say 40 because you aren't the only one who'd enjoy playing with their Miis.
 
*envisions another month of "That was a rumor from Gamefaqs, why are people still saying this shit?" regarding the character list, much like the past...oh, entire time we've been waiting for Brawl has been*

Not to be a jerk, but R.O.B. (why is everyone spoilering this?) would be out of place because the fucker can't jump. I don't see how he can jump.

Could Johnny 5 jump?

Exactly.












If Johnny 5 could jump, I can't remember, as I saw that shit years ago.
 
don't know why we're spoiliering either but R.O.B. (who won't be a character) could have a non-jumping gimic. Ice CLimbers are a pair, Yoshi doesn't have a recovery move, Mewtwo is telepathic, Zelda and now Samus have two forms. IF we were to put ROB in there his thing would be that he doesn't jump.

yeah that sounds even worse outside my head. Give him rocket boosts or something.

All I know is that when we first started to get more info on Brawl, it was confirmed that not EVERYBODY will return. Of course no one knew then and it was only speculation. If all of these "complete rosters" are correct, then that only leaves 4 people not returning; Mewtwo, Pichu, Dr. Mario and Roy. I don't even know what to think anymore, to be honest. The only thing that's coming to mind is that a lot of people are getting really defensive about who might be cut :lol: (Not you, seriously. I've read some posts on other forums and people are getting SERIOUS about this!)
 
[quote name='Wolfkin']

I forgot to say in the original post "Why does R.O.B. seem so much more ridiculous than Mr. G&W?" with the intention of pointing out that G&W has feet, legs, knees, and obviously enough muscle mass to use those appendages to propel himself upward.

R.O.B. is stationary, and at best would have treads. He has no rocket boosters last I checked.

That was the original idea I wanted to convey, anyway.
 
R.O.B. was cool for Mario Kart DS.
Brawl? Not so much.

I truly hope this is all false. OR he turns out to be surprisingly fun/cool.

I'm sitting here watching the SSE vids again to see what R.O.B. looks like and seeing Zelda teleport to the stage reminds me I really want to play Ocarina of Time again. But I really should finish Paper Mario 2, RE4, Prince of Persia 2,3, Majora's Mask, on and so forth. Reminds me I'm glad Smash isn't out yet because soon as it is even if I don't have a Wii I'm gonna find a way to play it and play it constantly.l
 
[quote name='Wolfkin']But I really should finish.. Prince of Persia 2...[/quote]Assuming you're playing the modern PoP trilogy, I must warn against this. Absolute, total shit. Crap. Fecal matter. Just look up the basic story online and skip right to 3.

I disagree. While PoP2 is a flawed game, and not nearly as good as the original or PoP3, I don't think it's as bad as many make it out to be. Flawed? Yes. Worthless? Hardly.

I don't know why you're fighting this so much. If you believe that those pictures confirmed the inclusion of Ness, Lucario, and Jigglypuff then they also confirm Mewtwo not being in it otherwise he would have shown up next to the other pokemon characters. Why would those be shown and not Mewtwo?
 
[quote name='dothog']You know who else hated robots?

Hitler currently is a robot, as many FPS games have led me to believe, so you are wrong.

[quote name='The Crotch']The video could have shown a game where everything (IE, Mewtwo) hadn't been unlocked. I haven't watched the video, though, so I dunno.[/quote] I always thought that official videos like that didn't use an actual game, but more of a developer copy... thing. I just think it's a reasonable assumption from that video that Mewtwo has been confirmed to be out.
I also think that Ness not being replaced makes more sense since he was in it from the original, and we would have only had one Mother character. Mewtwo wasn't in the original and we have a large amount of pokemon characters already. I'm sure Sakurai has the same idea as a lot of other people around he in that he doesn't want one series to overwhelm any other one so when he added two new pokemon characters, he took two old ones out.

We'll see in a week-ish, I guess
 
[quote name='The Crotch']Assuming you're playing the modern PoP trilogy, I must warn against this. Absolute, total shit. Crap. Fecal matter. Just look up the basic story online and skip right to 3.[/quote]first off... it's my compulsion. I just gotta do it, but I did go thru about an hour of the game and it's clearly not up to the POP1 par. SoT was brilliant on every level. I hadn't enjoyed a game as completely and throughly since.. maybe Ocarina when I got the SE Disc. Warrior Within is still on my wishlist. I'm not going for the Wii version either. I'm gonna stick it out on my cube.

it occurs to me I doubt anyone else really cares about Mewtwo aside from myself. So you don't have to read it.

Why would those be shown and not Mewtwo?[/quote]I've seen people make A LOT of arbitrary conclusions in this thread. There have been a lot of assumptions based on the most random of facts. That said I will conceed that the "no Mewtwo" theory IS probably the most sensible of the many theories I don't believe. I can't fault anyone for swaying that way. And of the unconfirmed characters
C. Falcon, Dr Mario, Falco, Ganondorf (FS Ganon?), Luigi, Marth, Mewtwo, Game & Watch, Pichu, Roy, Youg Link
if we're to make 35 :roll: and we need to cut four people then I guess Mewtwo would be in my list
Roy, Pichu, Dr. Mario, Mewtwo
to cut.

As far as why no Mewtwo icon. there could be any number of reasons why Mewtwo didn't show up. Here's one idea that i haven't already said How about the item can't be used by Mewtwo. very unlikely. I admit, but as the game hasn't gone gold (It was delayed for a reason) all screenshots and images are subject to change. It's a standard disclaimer and I think this is the sort of situation in which it could apply. We can all agree that the nature of the video was a mistake/oversight. We weren't supposed to see any of that. Maybe they didn't get to programming Mewtwo's acceptability to items yet.

[quote name='The Crotch']Oh, I still think Mewtwo will be out. Just saying it's not definite.[/quote]

What I heard is that he's actually being replaced with Lucario. Some SS on the sticker book showed small details of two leaked characters, Lucario and Jigglypuff. It'd make sense since Lucario had a movie dedicated to him and can appeal to the latest fans.
 
I can't be the only one who finds that hilarious


good point ordinarily one week delay would make you think some sort of manufacturing issue. Except for the interview:
With the completion of the game falling behind schedule, we were unable to keep our promised release date, despite our greatest efforts in attempting to release this game on time.
the language makes me think completion issue. not like it's going to matter in a week either way.
 
God dammit Strell. If johnny 5 isn't in the game now, I'm going to be disappointed. :cry:

Yes he jumped at the end of short circuit 2 when he got his citizenship. Of course I don't think silver johnny 5 ever jumped, it may be a new feature added when they made him all badass and gold.

There's a much clearer snapshot of the same screen on brawlcentral for those who can't make anything out in the video.
 
[quote name='lilboo']I'm really not feeling the Zelda/Shiek sharing the same slot.
Anyone else agree?[/QUOTE]


why waste a slot, they share the same smash, it wasnt that big a deal in Brawl
 
[quote name='Ikohn4ever']why waste a slot, they share the same smash, it wasnt that big a deal in Brawl[/QUOTE]

Shiek didn't have 'his' slot in Melee and I didn't expect 'him' to have one in Brawl. It just looks stupid to have them both in one slot. That's just me though.
 
The only thing I don't like about the level is that it randomly selects which one to play, it should go from 1-1 to 1-2 during the level, or it it's going to be random there should be some way to select which version you're going to play in like Zelda/Shiek.

Honestly, there's always that chance. Just because they don't mention something doesn't mean it isn't there. Besides, even if it isn't, who cares? I kind of like the randomness of it. And really, it's just a clever, clever design for a level.

That's just me though.[/quote]I think it's a bit stupid to put Shiek's image up there, but it wouldn't make sense to give Shiek one slot. Shiek is Zelda. That's the way it's always been. That'd be like giving ZSS a seperate slot. Quite frankly ZSS and Shiek are two characters I don't expect to see on the char select.
