lol no way. Dr Wright

Bloody shitcakes! :eek:

If Wright's in, they have to put Fawful in there somewhere, then. This I demand, finkrats! :mad:

I think Wright is an item.

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

Now you can set them in midair as well. This might lend itself to a few new and interesting strategies.
Of course, just keeping people from making it back to

The release date is Dec 3rd

Donkey Kong has a good upgraded look too.

Smashville
 

Wait a second... Is this...an Animal Crossing stage?! And the name...well...go ahead and poke fun if you must.


It’s very clearly the world of Animal Crossing – even the changing scenery of day and night is determined by the Wii console’s internal clock.


And what do you think of all those guests hanging out? There sure are a lot. It’s like they all came to watch the big event.


But there’s more...

If you play a match here on Saturday at 8PM...

Oh, I’m too excited to even say it!

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

I'm looking forward to this stage but now a few forums are thinking this stage means an Animal Crossing character will be in.
There is a 15 sec video on the site, btw.

Yeah, Dr. Wright is just an Assist Trophy.

Samus: Final Smash
 

Zero Laser

Don’t fire! Do NOT fire that laser!

Why? ...Well, because it really hurts!


That weapon is extremely powerful. Her opponents’ damage meters skyrocket!

...But afterwards, Samus has a problem.


That really was her last trump card. She used a weapon so powerful, it destroyed her Power Suit.

Now it’s time for Zero Suit Samus to show what she can do.

It looks like you can throw the pieces of her suit that end up on the ground.

Hey. Stop that... QUIT IT! I mean it!

This World...
 

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.
Those are the rules of this world.

But...


When someone...or something...breaks those rules, the world will pay a terrible price...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Possibley interesting notes:

*The update was given on a black background with white text instead of the usual white background and black text

*The update is under game modes but it's actual title is "???" so it may be story or adventure mode or maybe a completely new mode.

*The last pic could be a new boss, perhaps?

Rumble Falls
 

This stage is based on the look and feel of Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat, which was played using the DK Bongos.

The key here is to keep climbing up and up.


The screen slowly scrolls upwards, so if you don’t want to get left behind you’d better get climbing. Oh, and don’t forget to pummel your opponents along the way!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stage...07_070723b.jpg
You’re climbing up, but the water keeps flowing
down, down, down.

The screen’s constantly changing, so it’s fun just to watch too.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stage...07_070723c.jpg
The top of the waterfall isn’t the top! Keep climbing!

Hey! What’s at the top? Huh?

Hmm...I wonder...

Footstool Jump
 

What is a Footstool Jump?!

Well, it's a cool technique. Basically, you step on your opponent and jump off!

That's it!

Jump! Now press the jump button with perfect timing...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/howto...03_070726b.jpg
Boing!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/howto...03_070726c.jpg
And then you jummmmmmmmp!

Using your enemy’s spine like a spring to launch yourself into the air
is pretty fun.

What? You say it doesn’t have much strategic value?

No, no, no. That’s hardly the case.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/howto...03_070726d.jpg
You can use it to perform Meteor Smashes! Incredible!

When talking about the guaranteed hard hitter of Kirby’s world, you’ve got to say something about his fists!
A storm of Vulcan Jabs rain down, and then Knuckle Joe can finish his foes off with one of the following two special moves!
He’s... He’s strong. He’s been doing some extreme training, I think.

Does anyone read this thread? I didn't bother posting the Knuckle Joe update because I assumed it was abandoned by all but me.

anyway, I was surprised we didn't get music this week.

I do

I stop in every few days.

I read whenever there's something new

Pretty long post.
 

Glad to know posting the updates isn't a waste of time:y:

Now we have an idea what sort of things to expect from SSBB, anyone hoping for something in particular? Character, item, music, stage etc?

A stage based on the Airship from SMB3 would be great, in my opinion. Doubt it'll happen though. A redone version of the airship theme would be cool.

I also hope they either turn adventure mode into a Mortal Kombat Armageddon Konquest style mode with exploring,treasure and fights or add a similair game mode and leave adventure the same style it was in Melee.

Each stage would be based on a different franchise represtented in Brawl and they could have it be a sort of "Story mode". The story would probably be to free the characters from the forced brawling or to see who is behind the brawling or something similair.

Example: Stage 1 would be the Mushroom Kingdom and you'd explore it from a 3rd person perspective with your Mii. You'd fight Goombas and Koopa Troopas (or whichever enemies are popular from the series. The Zelda world could have Octorocks and ReDeads, the DK world could have Kremlins and Klaptraps and so on) all in simple real time fights from a 3rd person viewpoint maybe 5 or 6 at a time because they're easy and simple grunts, really. If you have played MK:Armageddon, you'll know what I mean by all that.
Then, at key points in each world, you meet a character from the game such as Mario. You would fight him 1-on-1 in the usual Smash Bros style, on a stage rather than in the 3rd person style world. Once you defeat him you would continue on through the world, fight other Mario characters like Yoshi, until you reach Bowser. Defeat him and move onto World 2 and so on until you reach Master Hand at the very end.
MK did this type of mode very well and I'm sure the people behind Smash Bros could do it even better. Plus it would be a cool and interesting way of unveiling new characters.

Thoughts?

^^ You've just basically summed up the Melee adventure mode :?:

I would not want to play with my Mii.

Where as Melee adventure mode was basically a side scrolling platformer. I would want the "story mode" to be on a 3d plain. Go left,right,forward and back and the enemys would have simple move sets unlike in Melee where they just walked back and forth. Kinda like the Assist Trophies.

The basic idea would be similair to this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=GV8r6WuZmVc but obviously minus the blood and gore and with a SSBB theme and feel to it.

I actually wanted to say you would pick a character and play through wih them but then I realised that would mess up the story thing.So I just said Mii. Unless it replaced the chracter you pick with another character from that series that is in Brawl. Like replace Mario with Luigi if you play as Mario.

Donkey Kong: Final Smash
 

As you might expect from Donkey Kong, his Final Smash is something...upbeat. That’s right, he’s breaking out the DK Bongos!


And...DUM DOO DUM DUMMM!

It’s cool to just pound on them, but why not listen to the music that’s playing? Press buttons in time to the beat to really get things hopping.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/chara...ng_070730b.jpg
1, 2, 3...dum, doo, dum dum!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/chara...ng_070730c.jpg
Now clap! Clappity clap clap!

Feel the rhythm and increase the power! T-t-take it easy, will ya!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/chara...ng_070730d.jpg
And finish!

DK’s invulnerable while in the middle of this move, so take it easy and enjoy the moment.

Oh, and jamming during screen scrolls and such is something you might want to...think about.

Pitfall
 

This item appeared in the game Animal Crossing. Bury it in the ground and it becomes a trap. If you love playing tricks on others, this item can’t be beat.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items...06_070731b.jpg

When you throw a Pitfall at the ground...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items...06_070731c.jpg

It vanishes!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items...06_070731d.jpg

When someone touches it, PLUNK!

Now’s your chance. You can’t help but grin.

Incidentally, it also has an effect if you simply hit someone with it instead of setting it in the ground.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items...06_070731e.jpg

If you get hit by a Pitfall, you’ll drop through pass-through floors!

Getting thoroughly fooled by a trap like this... It’s pretty humiliating.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I predicted this item months ago, I wonder if any other of my guesses will be right.

they should add a pit fall stage

Warning! New Challenger Approaching!
 

From Fire Emblem, Ike appears! The fact that he can wield a two-handed sword with a single hand is a testament to his magnificent strength.

His brings his special move "Aether" with him as he crashes the Brawl party. Try for a single-stroke finishing blow with his mighty blade!

Castle Siege
 

This stage represents the Fire Emblem world.

It’s an enemy castle in the midst of battle – but it’s not set in a particular castle, nor is it from a particular game in the series.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stage...09_070802a.jpg
It’s taking heavy fire, huh?

There are plenty of scenes like this throughout the Fire Emblem series, aren’t there? So imagine it however you choose.


Fireballs launched by catapults dance in the skies above the castle. Then, as time passes...


See the stone statues in the throne room? You can break them to bits.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stage...09_070802d.jpg
Down it goes!

Oh, but it doesn’t end here.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stage...09_070802e.jpg
Quick! To the underground!

What’s the underground like? You can look forward to finding out later.

I'm probably the only person who's not excited about this game, but I just read on gonintendo.com that Ganandorf has been confirmed.

What is The Subspace Emissary?
 

Super Smash Bros. Brawl: The Subspace Emissary is a robust side-scrolling action game!

–This is The Subspace Emissary!–

More than anything, Smash Bros. is a competitive action game. People have been kind enough to praise its multiplayer aspects, but we’ve never been able to create a fully-fleshed out single-player game.

This time, though, we’ve managed to create a complete side-scrolling action game. It’s storyline isn’t overwrought – it’s hastened along by a bunch of quick movies.


The Adventure mode also emphasises character development. You’ll see many famous characters persevering under the weight of their personal histories, shouldering their unique burdens... It’s really something you won’t see anywhere else.


With so many wonderful characters appearing together, it’s like a dream action game. We’re putting tons of fighting spirit into making this game, so I hope you’re all looking forward to it.

Oh, and this is all included in the same Game Disc, so rest easy.

Todays update might get you at least a little bit more excited. I never had any doubt Ganondorf would make it in again. I'm looking forward to what moveset he gets because the guy that runs the Smash Bros. site said there would be no more clones and Ganondorfs moves where the same as Captain Falcon in Melee.

December can't come fast enough :'(

While I was checking another forum, someone mentioned a Game Informer interveiw with Eiji Aonuma. They copy/pasted this:

So that means Sheik is in the game? Doesn't really make sense if all the Zelda characters are based on the TP Zelda game. I've never visited Game Informer, is it a relieable place or is it just full of nonsense?

You only have to wait until December. Here in the UK we have to wait until "2008" :'(

Maybe you'll be lucky and it'll be January '08 :shifty:

Well you got Super Paper Mario in April and we don't get it until September. So it might be a bit of a wait for Brawl...

I've seriously got to hurry with getting a wii

Shit single player looks awesome now

Not a fan of all the fire emblem charters we might get.......MUST KEEP ROY THOUGH!

Do you think Adventure mode will be side scrolling again? It looks like it in most screenshots but this pic
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem..._070803g-l.jpg
looks like it may not be just side scrolling. It looks like two of the enemies are coming from the bottom of the screen. Plus the layout of the level isn't on a path like the other screenshots. Do you think maybe there will be areas where you are in full 3D? Maybe just a single platform with those robot enemies coming from all side?

ya

Hey with this havin cut scenes now you think Link will get a speaking part?

Smoke Ball
 

This is an item that has absolutely no effect on characters...but it’s pretty fun.


As the cloud forms, it blocks your vision with an effective smokescreen.
If your opponent gets caught in the thick cloud of smoke it’s a distraction, and if you’re covered in smoke it’s harder for your opponent to see which moves you’re doing.


You can even pick up Smoke Balls that are emitting smoke, and carry them or throw them. Talk about smoke and mirrors!

I doubt it. He'll probably just keep using facial expression and the usual noises he makes in the Zelda games.
