Yeah, or they could replace the fighting polygons/wireframes but I think those Primid guys will do that instead.

If a Mii was a character, wouldn't they use golf clubs, tennis rackets and baseball bats for close range and a bowling ball for projectile attacks? They could use the boxing gloves when they punch. Basically make the moveset up from Wii Sports.
The only problem with that is Peach uses golf clubs and tennis rackets and Ness uses the bat plus we have the Homerun bat as an item.

Warning! Challenger Approaching!
 

The youth with the psychic powers has appeared – it’s Lucas! He makes his anticipated debut from the Japan-only release MOTHER 3.

While he is timid in nature, he fights splendidly. Is it possible he can surpass even Ness?!

woah, another Ness type character. Ness will always be my fav though.

I hope he isn't replacing Ness though...

Also, I would have preferred another Earthbound (Mother 2) character instead... I didn't even know that they made a Mother 3.

Snake Joins the Brawl!
 

Shadow Moses Island
 

This stage recreates the structure in front of the helipad on Shadow Moses Island.


Walls tower over the stage on the left and right, giving it a caged death-match feel.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stage...13_071002b.jpg
The searchlight spots someone, and the "!" icon appears!

You can destroy the walls on the left and right with attacks. Those who aren’t skilled at launching foes upwards may want to be proactive about attacking them.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stage...13_071002c.jpg
The walls come tumbling down.

Oh, and occasionally a Metal Gear will appear from the background.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stage...13_071002d.jpg
Metal Gear REX!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stage...13_071002e.jpg
Metal Gear RAY!

Apparently one other kind appears, too. It’s supposedly a slightly newer model.

I just checked out the US version of the site and it has 3 more movies so here is the rest of the update:

On this stage, Snake communicates with his team to learn the key characteristics of his rivals... Whoa... Seriously?

We’ve intercepted some of these communications and we’re delivering those to you now.


I'm not sure why they didn't put them on the UK site. Maybe they'll appear later.

LOL at the farting discussion between Snake and the Colonel

MGS board looks cool.
I am not psyched for him


If this dude is in the King DeeDee better be in as well

Assist Trophies are trophies that come to the aid of the player that called them out.

But these may not always be solid objects...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items...09_071003b.jpg
Th-they’re pixel art!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items...09_071003c.jpg
And there are tons of pixels racing around!

I think that in Smash though, appearances are rarely what they seem.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items...09_071003d.jpg
Just because they’re flat doesn’t mean you can
take them lightly.

By the way, there’s also an Assist Trophy for this guy...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items...09_071003e.jpg
Lakitu and Spinies! He just tosses ‘em down,
one after the other.

C'mon, Mr. Game and Watch...

Would an item turning someone into an 8-bit version of themselves be too much? The star in Super Paper Mario did it.

This is seriously the greatest game of all-time. I haven't been this excited for a game since like No Mercy. They are pulling out everything.

Excite Bike = :yes:

Knew I should have got a wii :(

I would love to see the dog from duck hunt show up when you lose and laugh at you. LOL

Shielding & Dodging
 

Once you know how to attack, the next thing you have to think about is avoiding enemy attacks. That’s where the shield button comes in handy.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/howto...06_071004a.jpg
...you guard against your enemy’s attack with your shield!!

Shielding against attacks is a top priority. If you don’t take any hits, you can’t be beat! However, the more attacks your shield takes, the smaller it gets.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/howto...06_071004b.jpg
If your shield breaks, you lose consciousness.

But more important than guarding is dodging.

You just tap the Control Stick in a direction while holding the shield button.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/howto...06_071004c.jpg
Tap the Control Stick down to do a sidestep dodge!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/howto...06_071004d.jpg
Tap it backwards to do a backward-roll dodge!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/howto...06_071004e.jpg
And tap forwards to do a forward-roll dodge and get behind your opponent!

If you can do these moves, your enemies will have a hard time landing their attacks. And they make you momentarily invincible, so using them proactively is OK.

Use these moves as much as you can even before you get used to them. Sometimes things become clearer that way.

Fox: Final Smash
 

Landmaster

It’s the brute tank of Team Star Fox – the Landmaster. Surely he wouldn’t bring that thing out?!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/chara...ox_071004a.jpg
LANDMASTERRR!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/chara...ox_071004b.jpg
BAROOOMPH!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/chara...ox_071004c.jpg
Yayyy! It’s a free ride!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/chara...ox_071004d.jpg
Don’t ride the Landmaster!

Jump to hover. Tilt the Control Stick down to roll. And, of course, fire its cannon with the attack button.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/chara...ox_071004e.jpg
FIRE! This hurts. A lot! So watch out!

It’s so big, it might be hard to turn around. But its rule-breaking power and authority are unstoppable.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/chara...ox_071004f.jpg
Yeah. It’s cool. My heart’s aflutter.

Damn.

This videogame is a celebration of videogames.

what the hell, who's doing the Kameamea up there?

Team
 

I will announce this right here, right now. In Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary, you can also play with two players simultaneously!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...07_071005a.jpg
Congratulations! It’s co-op play!

Now even siblings can play together with no need for arguments.

Of the two, one will be the protagonist. Essentially, the camera follows the protagonist, so the other player has to keep up.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...07_071005b.jpg
Having a second player join is completely optional.

Basically, it’s the same as a standard Smash brawl, so if you take damage and get knocked off the screen, you lose a life.

However, this mode features a space jump that allows the Player 2 to return to where the Player 1 is, even after getting scrolled off the screen.

If Player 2 gets separated from Player 1 by the screen scroll, he or she will quickly space jump back to Player 1's side. But if Player 2 gets knocked off the screen by an enemy, that counts as a lost life.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...07_071005c.jpg
You just come back naturally.

The Subspace Emissary has the following map screen.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...07_071005d.jpg
This is the map!

The protagonists form teams based on the developments in the story, and the characters they encounter join their team.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...07_071005e.jpg
Choose a team and enter a stage.

Your stock count, or the number of lives you can lose, is set for each stage.

In single-player mode, each time you lose a life, you switch to a different character on your team and are revived as that new character until you run out of stock lives. (You choose the character order for your team members at the start of each stage.)

In co-op mode, when either Player 1 or Player 2 loses a life, that player will be revived as another team member until the stock count runs out.

But, if Player 1 loses a life after the stock count has run out, that's the end! Player 2 is participating simply as an optional player, so be careful.

By the way, you can also choose the difficulty level.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamem...07_071005f.jpg
From Easy to Intense!

If you choose Easy, it will be quite easy indeed, so we definitely want people who aren’t very good at this type of game to give it a try! Even they will be able to make it to the ending.

But, if you choose a harder difficulty, your rewards will be greater. That’s another part of the fun.

And...

There’s a method of powering yourself up as needed to do battle with the Subspace Army – a method that has not been seen before.

I’ll explain this in great detail another time.

Kinda like Kirby Super-Stars for the SNES with the partner thing.

:eek: That's it, they've given me everything I've wanted

So umm... is it fucking December YET, christ lets hurry time already

Give us Sonic, Megaman, something.

New characters are the only way they could POSSIBLY make this game any better. :drool:

Having Lucas in is a kickass surprise too. Does this mean America will get Mother 3, maybe?

Mother 3 would make for a decent Wii download.

Zero Suit Samus: Special Moves
 

Standard Special Move: Paralyzer
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/chara...us_071008a.jpg
Bzzzzzzzzzzt! I can’t get enough of this.

A personal protection device, the Paralyzer stuns opponents. If you can charge it up for a bit, you can land additional attacks while your opponent is stunned.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/chara...us_071008b.jpg
A down smash will fire it at your feet!

But this is only self-defence at best. It does not have the power of an explosive attack. Where and when you use this is key.

What really brings out some characteristic Samus skills is when this gun transforms and releases a whip: the Plasma Whip.

Side Special Move: Plasma Whip
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/chara...us_071008c.jpg
The flash at the tip of this short whip is quite powerful!

Up Special: Plasma Wire
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/chara...us_071008d.jpg
Shoot it straight up to pull enemies towards you!

These two moves can be used to grab and hang from an edge. They can reach even if the ledge is pretty far away, so pay close attention to distance and timing and aim to dangle from the edge.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/chara...us_071008e.jpg
Pzzzzt! What a magnificent edge grab!

I want hard hitting up dates :(

So do I but too many cool updates would take away from the impact and stuff so I'm assuming that's why he spaces them out with these less-than-exciting updates.

Kirby: Final Smash
 

Cook Kirby

Kirby is quite the glutton. He apparently even does his own cooking.

Welcome to Kirby’s cooking class!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/chara...by_071009a.jpg
The cook puts on his hat!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/chara...by_071009b.jpg
He takes out a giant pot!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/chara...by_071009c.jpg
Dinner’s ready! He rings his bell.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/chara...by_071009d.jpg
He throws his enemies into the pot.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/chara...by_071009e.jpg
Simmers them gently...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/chara...by_071009f.jpg
OK! Order up!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/chara...by_071009e.jpg
Once you take out the stock, your enemy gets blasted off.

But is that a real dish? Something like stone soup, maybe? Can you put just anything in there? Are you sure?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
They also put up Ashleys theme from WarioWare:Touched. The song vocals in the Japanese version will be different from every other version.
On the Japanese page, they have another peice of music as well as the Ashley theme. I have no idea what the other music is.

Warning! Challanger Approaching!
 

Sonic

The one character whose Smash appearance has been most anticipated dashes in from far away at supersonic speed.

Sonic the Hedgehog crashes headlong into battle!

Sonic the Hedgehog Joins the Brawl!
 

Nintendo Conference Autumn 2007 Movie
 

There was an announcement at this conference that Sonic the Hedgehog has joined the fray. I’d like to provide you with the short movie that was shown there.

There’s still a little more development to be done... I’m hoping to complete it without incident.

OMG :love: :love: :love:

Sorry to break it to you guys but Brawl has been delayed.
Japan are getting it in January (I think) 2008 and the US release date on the US site has been changed from December 3rd to "TBD". The PAL version still has no release date either.

Maybe you'll be lucky and it will only be delayed for a few weeks.

Delayed :/

was prettyshocked sonic was revealed this early.

I was hoping Sonic would be an unlockable character but this must mean he's selectable from the start, right?

I really hope they aren't giving away the unlockables on the site. I just want to know details about what will be available from the start of the game. I don't want secrets and unlockables spoiled for me.
