"Super Smash Bros. Revolution" thread [NOW ONLINE!]

[Vietnamese Crippler]

Yeah, we definitely need to set up our own league for this :o

[Drakul]

A TPWW SSBB League would be great but the European & Austrelian members wont be involved for a while. Nintendo has said SSBB wont get a PAL release until sometime after June 2008. So July at the earliest.

[Vietnamese Crippler]

Like we North Americans need you guys :shifty:

[Drakul]

Of course you need us. Who else can you brawl and annoy by assigning "USA! USA!" to every single taunt?

[Funky Fly]

Sexy time.

[MTH15]

Lol. Yea Im sure we can set that up. And post pics and vids and shit. This is gonna be awsome

[Drakul]

Bonsly walks around.

Why is this Pokémon named Bonsly? Those familiar with the world of Pokémon understand that while it appears to be a bonsai tree, Bonsly’s body is made up of rocks and stones.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/mball/images/mball08/mball08_071210c.jpg
It’s pretty heavy!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/mball/images/mball08/mball08_071210d.jpg
When you throw it at someone, it won’t fly far...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/mball/images/mball08/mball08_071210e.jpg
But it sure does hurt!

Even if an opponent’s damage meter is below 50%, this thing packs enough power to potentially knock him or her off.

You may only get hit once in a while, but if you do, watch out!!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/mball/images/mball08/mball08_071210f.jpg
Oh, and it’s not like it can’t be reflected.

[MTH15]

wtf IS THAT?

[Vietnamese Crippler]

It's a walking bonsai tree, what else :o

[Funky Fly]

wtf IS THAT?

Can you not read? Right under the pic it says it is a pokemon shits.

[Savio]

I want some character updates!

[Loose Cannon]

Character Update: December 10th

[Funky Fly]

If only, LC.

[Drakul]

Picture five or more players huddled around a Wii.

The number of people who can play is limited by the number of controllers that can connect. When that happens, you usually have the people who win or lose rotate out so that everyone gets a turn, right?

So be nice and give everybody a chance to play!

... ...That’s how I feel anyway, but just in case you need a little help being nice (and since everyone has their own controller preferences), I went ahead and rigged up a Rotation mode.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various17/various17_071211a.jpg
This is the top menu for Group mode!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various17/various17_071211b.jpg
First decide the number of controllers.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various17/various17_071211c.jpg
Then get a count of people in the room with you
and enter that in.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various17/various17_071211d.jpg
How many people per brawl?

You can set the rules to rotate out a set number of winners or losers from the brawl. Rotation doesn’t have to be about coming in first place.

If your group is on pretty equal footing with each other, go for Loser Swaps Out. If you’ve got some green players in your midst, why not start out with Winner Swaps Out?

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various17/various17_071211e.jpg
It’s always useful to log your name.

But, hey, if it’s too much of a bother for you, you can play fine without it. Just as long as you remember your guest number, that is.

If a new player happens to come by during a Rotation match, you can add him or her to the group if you’re willing to head back to the name-entry screen.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various17/various17_071211f.jpg
When your name comes up, press a button to confirm.

Press a button on the controller of your choice when your name pops up. That sets the controller you’ll use.

And of course, your control settings will be applied when you play.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various17/various17_071211g.jpg
Need a bathroom break? Opt to sit out a match!

Even with numerous controllers and dozens of people lined up to play, you’ll be good to go if you use this mode!

... ... Well, not quite.

Rotation is limited to 16 players. Mm hmm.

[Vietnamese Crippler]

Ok... Don't think I'll ever have to use that mode, but ok :-\

[Drakul]

Same here.
I'm guessing these are filler updates because of the delay.

[Vietnamese Crippler]

Sucks knowing that instead of studying for finals right now, I could've been playing BRAWL :foc:

[Funky Fly]

My nephews and nieces will certainly use that a lot. They always lose track and leads to fighting.

[Shadow]

That is awsome taht it actually takes into consideration what controller you're using.

[Drakul]

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various18/various18_071112a.jpg
This is the main menu!

Here you can find these six areas.

Group
Solo
Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection
Vault
Options
Data


Today, I’m going to introduce Options.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various18/various18_071112b.jpg
All options are coloured purple.

Deflicker
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various18/various18_071112c.jpg
Choose between graphics that are razor sharp
or nice and smooth.

This is... Well, it’s sort of hard to explain using only static shots, but try toggling it on and off on your own TV. Play with the setting that fits your taste.

Rumble
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various18/various18_071112d.jpg
Set rumble separately
for Gamecube Controllers and Wii Remotes.

Toggle the proverbial buzz-buzz on your controllers on and off.

Just remember, the Classic Controller doesn’t have rumble, so don’t get too carried away.

You can also set rumble preferences for each logged name.

Sound
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various18/various18_071112e.jpg
The slider goes left and right.

You can use this to adjust the balance between the game’s music and sound effects.

Oh, a sound test is also available from the first time you power the game on!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various18/various18_071112f.jpg
Flip through by title or category.

There’s quite a few songs available, so I’ve decided to also divide things up by category this time.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various18/various18_071112g.jpg
You mean I can listen to sound effects from my favourite character as much as I want?

Erase Data
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various18/various18_071112h.jpg
This is by far the most dangerous of the option modes.

Yeaaah... Don’t fiddle around with these options.

I mean it now. Don’t mess around on this screen.

No, seriously. I’m not playing here.

And that’s not all.

Screen
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various18/various18_071112i.jpg

Controls
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various18/various18_071112j.jpg

My Music
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various18/various18_071112k.jpg

For more about these three, you can go over and check out their individual pages.

Each of these modes is designed to let you tweak the game to match your own preferences, but obviously you don’t have to mess around with these options if you don’t feel like it.

Relax and enjoy.

[Drakul]

Second update is music for the Ice Climbers (http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/music/music17.html).

The option updfate just proves my filler update thing.

[Funky Fly]

Well, their update schedule is being fucked up by delays. BTW, I have to wonder about how much stuff is actually hidden in this game. I mean, they've shown us just about everything at this point, right down to the options.

[MTH15]

lol, I anymore characters gonna be in?

[Funky Fly]

Obviously there are going to be hidden shits, but just how much ish other than hidden characters will be left to be discovered before the game is out?

[Drakul]

The Mario Circuit stage appears! Of course, we HAVE shown it briefly in past movies...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stages/images/stage19/stage19_071213a.jpg
This popular series makes an impressive debut.

It’s a figure-of-eight course, and you do battle at the crossing of the 8.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stages/images/stage19/stage19_071213b.jpg
There are even grandstands in places you can’t see!

It hurts when the karts racing around the track hit you. They come in from the side and from the back of the screen, so be careful.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stages/images/stage19/stage19_071213c.jpg
When they come from the back, and you are on the lower level, look out.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stages/images/stage19/stage19_071213d.jpg
When they come from the side, and you are on the upper level, look out.

The karts are serious about their race. You can get a general idea of their location on the screen at the back, so pay attention to it.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stages/images/stage19/stage19_071213e.jpg
You can actually make them wipe out, too.

[Funky Fly]

The successor of the F-Zero X tracks? Nice.

Hopefully they keep those ones tho. They were the shit.

[Drakul]

The successor of the F-Zero X tracks? Nice.

Hopefully they keep those ones tho. They were the shit.

I think the F-Zero track will be Big Blue with the cars right under you. Mario Kart seems to have taken Mute Citys place.

[Funky Fly]

I know, but I like them both. Mute city was great because the stage kept changing.

[Drakul]

Yeah. The Mario Kart stage makes a bit of a change from most of the stages in Brawl which seem to change a lot.

[Funky Fly]

If they can fit it all, I'd like every stage to return.

[Drakul]

I'd normally think that wanting all the previous stages in would be asking a lot but they seem to be crowbarring a lot into the game anyway so they would be as well putting most of the old stages back.

[Funky Fly]

They managed to cram a crap load of stuff into the limited Gamecube mini discs, so why not now in a full blown disc?

[Cooler Tom Schuler]

All options are coloured purple.

[MTH15]

Is this on gamecube?

[Vietnamese Crippler]

:|

[Funky Fly]

Is this on gamecube?

No way they could fit all this shit in those gay ass mini discs.

[Drakul]

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/assist/images/assist13/assist13_071214a.jpg

This character, the prince of the heavenly seas, appeared in the Japan-only release "Densetsu no Stafy". He’s shaped like a star, but maybe he’s really a starfish???

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/assist/images/assist13/assist13_071214b.jpg
I’ll do it! I’m doing it!

...He never says anything like that.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/assist/images/assist13/assist13_071214c.jpg
His body shines brightly.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/assist/images/assist13/assist13_071214d.jpg
He boldly does a spin attack!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/assist/images/assist13/assist13_071214e.jpg
But...he’s weak?

He’s rare for an Assist Trophy, as he can be attacked.

Sometimes you may wonder "Stafy, why did you even come here?!" – but that’s part of his charm.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/assist/images/assist13/assist13_071214f.jpg
Owwwwwww!

[Drakul]

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/assist/images/assist14/assist14_071214a.jpg

The fact that he’s an Assist Trophy means he won’t be appearing as a playable character, but...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/assist/images/assist14/assist14_071214b.jpg
...Waluigi appears nonetheless!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/assist/images/assist14/assist14_071214c.jpg
He dashes at foes...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/assist/images/assist14/assist14_071214d.jpg
He stomps on whoever he currently despises!

Characters that suffer his stomping get embedded in the dirt.

Waluigi keeps on stomping, punishing his foe persistently with successive blows. As should be expected from Waluigi.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/assist/images/assist14/assist14_071214e.jpg
He finishes with a mighty kick...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/assist/images/assist14/assist14_071214f.jpg
...or his tennis racket!

Never forget to finish off those who are helpless to resist. Such a philosophy should really be expected from Waluigi.

[Blitz]

Waluigi stomps a mudhole and walks that sumbitch dry.

[Funky Fly]

lol

[Drakul]

According to IGN, Europe is getting a February release.
http://uk.wii.ign.com/objects/748/748545.html check the release date under the boxart. IGN is usually pretty reliable, right?

[Vietnamese Crippler]

Their release dates are ok, but I tend to not mark my calendar by their dates.

[MTH15]

This game is gonna be played for 5 years from me

[Drakul]

This time, Event matches can be played in two-player mode! Wow. This is a great game for couples.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various19/various19_071217a.jpg
When you press the Player 2 button here...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various19/various19_071217b.jpg
The two-player Events begin!

These are not battles – they’re co-operative play. So, you tackle the challenge of each Event together.

There are fewer two-player Events than single-player ones, but they each have different settings than the single-player matches.

Two Trouble Kings
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various19/various19_071217c.jpg
Characters: Mario, Kirby
Battle togother against Bowser and King Dedede!
This is a proper 2-on-2 match.

Master the Pokémon Tag Battle
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various19/various19_071217d.jpg
Characters: Pokémon Trainer, Pikachu
This features Squirtle, Ivysaur, Charizard, and one Pikachu.
It’s a tag battle with pretty much equal teams!

Fastest, Shortest, Sudden Death
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various19/various19_071217e.jpg
Characters: Yoshi, King Dedede
See who can defeat the most enemies in just 10 seconds!!

ALL MINE!
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various19/various19_071217f.jpg
Characters: Wario, Bowser
C-could this be a Coin battle?! With lots of notes...

That reminds me, there are Coin battles this time around, too. When you launch an opponent, you collect their money. The player with the most money at the end wins.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various19/various19_071217g.jpg
The fact that it isn’t bloodthirsty is nice.

Oh, and I forgot to mention earlier that you can play Target Smash!! with two players simultaneously as well!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various19/various19_071217h.jpg
Oh! I see! Delegation of duties is important!

[Funky Fly]

Nice.

[Drakul]

Now all I have to do is convince someone to play co-op with me.

[Vietnamese Crippler]

Now all I have to do is convince someone to be friends with me :shifty:

[Loose Cannon]

all I have to do is convince my fiancee to play video games.

[Drakul]

This appears in Metroid Prime. It’s the first spaceship Samus infiltrates.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stages/images/stage20/stage20_071218a.jpg
What you see in the background is the Parasite Queen.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stages/images/stage20/stage20_071218b.jpg
Th-the power went out?!

For a spaceship that just causes trouble, it sure does have a lot of problems.

But what really defines this stage is the way it rotates 180 degrees.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stages/images/stage20/stage20_071218c.jpg
The siren scream is a warning!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stages/images/stage20/stage20_071218d.jpg
Suddenly, it flips...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stages/images/stage20/stage20_071218e.jpg
...and the terrain inverts!

When the siren goes off, jump into the air to flee.

But when you’re in a pinch, so is your opponent. Stall your opponent to take advantage!

[Drakul]

The 2nd update today is music from Mother 3. Porky's Theme (http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/music/music18.html).

[Drakul]

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item13/item13_071219a.jpg

This item has absolutely no relevance for those who normally just play free-for-all brawls. But not knowing how to use the item would be problematic, so I’ll just explain it.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item13/item13_071219b.jpg
You might be able to imagine what it is from its name...

Before I get ahead of myself, I must explain that this game features a Team Battle mode.

For example, this function allows people to break into teams of two and do battle when four people are playing.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item13/item13_071219c.jpg
There are three team colours: red, green and blue.

And the Team Healer has absolutely no function if you’re on your own.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item13/item13_071219d.jpg
If you pick it up, you just hold it. It doesn’t do anything.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item13/item13_071219e.jpg
But, if you throw it at your ally...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item13/item13_071219f.jpg
...your ally’s damage meter gets replenished!

The higher your damage meter, the more you recover.

But, if you don’t alert each other, you may not hit your team-mate.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item13/item13_071219g.jpg
And occasionally,
it may cause an opponent to recover damage instead...

[Drakul]

The move that symbolises Kirby is none other than his standard special move, Inhale!

He’s able to copy an enemy’s ability (by which I mean, their standard special move) and use it as his own.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/kirby/kirby_071220a.jpg
When he inhales a foe and swallows...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/kirby/kirby_071220b.jpg
...he copies his opponent’s ability!

So... Which look belongs to which character?

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/kirby/kirby_071220c.jpg

Ha ha ha ha. Kirby-Snake.

You know...I don't think I've ever had Kirby swallow Bowser to get his ability. Seems like something I should do.

[MTH15]

Lol Kirby Snake. He has a 5 o clock shadow

[Drakul]

We created a movie introducing one of the game’s modes – Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary.

Enjoy it like you would a preview at the cinema!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/modea/images/modea10/modea10_071221a.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/movies/movie071221a.html?keepThis=true&TB_iframe=true&height=300&width=430)

[Vietnamese Crippler]

That looks like it's going to be awesome :drool:

[Drakul]

I liked it. Good end to a good week.

[Savio]

bad week I want character updates!

[Drakul]

Well, this week was at least better than last week.

[Drakul]

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/wario/wario_071224a.jpg
This is the standard Wario found in Smash.

Everyone can change colours, of course. But Wario alone is special...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/wario/wario_071224b.jpg
Look! Wario is in overalls!

There may be some people who prefer this one. This is the "classic" Wario.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/wario/wario_071224c.jpg
Flab is poking out from his sides...

Choose him just like you would any of the other characters. This outfit appears after the six standard colour variations.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/wario/wario_071224d.jpg
Press the X or Y Button, or poke the pattern to change colours.

What’s more, this version has its own colour variations. What a bonus!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/wario/wario_071224e.jpg
Oh! Talk about individualised!

[Lock Jaw]

Sweet. I like the original Wario look better than biker-Wario. Maybe they'll have Ness be an alternate of Lucas, since they're basically the same almost.

[Drakul]

Super Sonic

When talking about Sonic’s Final Smash, there is no other option than Super Sonic!

Use the power of the Chaos Emeralds to transform. Race through the air at reckless speed!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/sonic/sonic_071225a.jpg
Get the Smash Ball!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/sonic/sonic_071225b.jpg
Now I'll show you!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/sonic/sonic_071225c.jpg
Haaaaaaaaahhhhh!

He has tremendous inertia and is hard to control, but his top speed is top class!

Those who are witnessing this move should plan on dodging!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/sonic/sonic_071225d.jpg
Whoa! Hold on!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/sonic/sonic_071225e.jpg
I won’t take it!

If you boost your speed recklessly, you’ll pass by people too quickly, making it easier for them to dodge.

Speed control is important with this Final Smash.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/sonic/sonic_071225f.jpg
And it’s over.

[Drakul]

The 2nd update today is music for Sonics stage in Brawl. The music is from Angel Island Zone (http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/music/music19.html).

Merry Christmas BTW.

[Savio]

@ last line: maybe Knuckles is an alternate costume for Sonic?

[Drakul]

A few people over at GameFAQS and the UKs Official Nintendo Magazine forums think it could mean Knuckles will be playable as a seperate character.

[MTH15]

I would use knuckles all the time

[Drakul]

Among the many trophies are some representing the enemies that appear in The Subspace Emissary.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/modea/images/modea11/modea11_071226a.jpg
Like this.

But they cannot be acquired easily.

You must turn the enemies directly into trophies to get them! The item you need to do this is a trophy stand.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/modea/images/modea11/modea11_071226b.jpg
Basically, it’s the stand the trophy rests on.

When an enemy appears, you need to significantly weaken it.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/modea/images/modea11/modea11_071226c.jpg
Pay attention to the damage meter at the top-left corner
of the screen.

If you’re lucky enough to have a trophy stand, throw it at your enemy after you’ve weakened it!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/modea/images/modea11/modea11_071226d.jpg
If it goes well...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/modea/images/modea11/modea11_071226e.jpg
...it will hit with a thud!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/modea/images/modea11/modea11_071226f.jpg
And it becomes a trophy!

Now you get the trophy. Whoa! What’s happened?! You could say this is only possible because of the setting of the Smash world.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/modea/images/modea11/modea11_071226g.jpg
You can then view that trophy in your trophy gallery!

Perhaps the trophy descriptions will give you some insight into the back story of The Subspace Emissary...

Of course, you can also do this to get boss trophies.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/modea/images/modea11/modea11_071226h.jpg
Yes! I’m definitely gonna get you today!

Since you can’t get these trophies if you don’t have a trophy stand, pure skill is not enough – it requires a little luck, too.

I’ll make it so you’ll somehow be allowed to fight the bosses even after you’ve already cleared the game, so it’s OK if you don’t hunt all these trophies down in the first battle.

[MTH15]

This is gonna be sweet

[Drakul]

I'm guessing there will be a Boss Battle mode or something. Maybe like a Survival type match. One boss after another until you die. That way you can keep trying until you get the trophy stand.

[Vietnamese Crippler]

That is an awesome way to get trophies :y:

[Drakul]

In the last game, you dropped the coins you collected into a prize-dispensing machine for a chance to win trophies. That was fine and all, but I got to thinking that there wasn’t really any strategy involved.

So this time, I dropped the crane game. Instead, you’ll be earning your trophies in THIS kind of game!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various20/various20_071227a.jpg
I dub this the Coin Launcher!

I’m gonna have you play every inch of this game!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various20/various20_071227b.jpg
That option on the right is the entrance to the Coin Launcher.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various20/various20_071227c.jpg
That’s the launcher at the bottom.

Tilt left and right to change the angle of the launcher and press the button to roll coins out. Basically, the coins themselves are your bullets.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various20/various20_071227d.jpg
Fire, fire, fire, fire. FIRE!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various20/various20_071227e.jpg
And you got it!

The trophies move, so shoot, shoot, shoot them before they get away. If you land a few shots on a trophy, it will be yours.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various20/various20_071227f.jpg
An enemy formation has appeared!

When you defeat formations of smaller enemies, you earn stickers and bonuses. When your green gauge fills up, it becomes possible to shoot coins rapid-fire for a short time.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various20/various20_071227g.jpg
A missile appeared!

Shoot the missiles down. If a missile strikes, your coin count will decrease!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various20/various20_071227h.jpg
Whaaaaaaa!

Press the Cancel Button to quit. The trophies and stickers you got this time will be displayed.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various20/various20_071227i.jpg
The green ones are trophies. The red ones are stickers.

The more you play the other modes, the more coins you’ll earn for the Coin Launcher. You can even earn them in Spectator mode.

If you want even more coins, your best bet is to invite some friends over to play. The more people you play with, the more coins you’ll earn.

[Fryza]

Wow. I mean, I would have considered a Wii is Fatal Frame IV was Wii-exclusive, but this game looks awesome.

[MTH15]

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item14/item14_071228a.jpg

It is said that if you collect all three parts, you will complete the legendary Air Ride machine...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item14/item14_071228b.jpg
There it is! Dragoon Part A!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item14/item14_071228c1.jpg http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item14/item14_071228c2.jpg http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item14/item14_071228c3.jpg

It’s broken into three parts:
Dragoon Part A, the nose cone...
Dragoon Part B, the hull...
and Dragoon Part C, the tail.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item14/item14_071228d.jpg
Gather all three and the Dragoon is formed!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item14/item14_071228e.jpg
Target in sight!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item14/item14_071228f.jpg
FIRE!!!

Of course, given the amount of preparation required, it boasts tremendous firepower! If it strikes you, consider it a one-hit KO.

The battle for this item is hot.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item14/item14_071228g.jpg
When you get one of the Dragoon parts, these icons appear!

Hit an opponent who has one of the Dragoon parts to make them drop it. You also drop the parts when you lose a life. If you want to get a part in hand, then beat up your opponent!

The same can be said for Smash Balls – those, too, are items that everyone really wants badly, so the scramble can be quite funny!

The joy of finally getting all three. Your enemies doing whatever they can to flee. It’s like we’ve added a delicious new spice, so I hope you’ll enjoy it during multiplayer matches.

[Drakul]

I have a request for the many people who want to play over Wi-Fi! The first time you play the Wi-Fi modes, please be sure to set the Smash Service to ON.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi05/wi-fi05_071228a.jpg
Here in the Options...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi05/wi-fi05_071228b.jpg
...you’ll find "Smash Service".

If you don’t turn this Smash Service on, you won’t receive any data! I ask that you take great care not to forget this step.

Data Sent by Nintendo
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi05/wi-fi05_071228c.jpg
Choose Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

In order to receive data sent by Nintendo, you need to first choose Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection mode.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi05/wi-fi05_071228d.jpg
You connect without incident. When you confirm the message...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi05/wi-fi05_071228e.jpg
..data appears in the applicable mode!

Things that have "Download" written on them were sent by Nintendo.

Now, downloaded data from Nintendo will gradually be overwritten, so there’s no need to worry about your Wii console’s memory running out.

Data Sent by a Friend
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi05/wi-fi05_071228f.jpg
Whoa. A lot of stuff arrived. Nice.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi05/wi-fi05_071228g.jpg
When something arrives, you’ll get a message on your Wii Message Board.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi05/wi-fi05_071228h.jpg
When you start up the game...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi05/wi-fi05_071228i.jpg
...the data will be in its respective places.

Now, since this data comes from your friends, this is where you have to watch your remaining save memory! If the remaining free space on your Wii System Memory is running low, you won’t be able to receive the data. Move old data to an SD card or erase it.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi05/wi-fi05_071228j.jpg
You can also send data to multiple friends at once.

It’s difficult to put the joy of being able to exchange snapshots and stages into words. I certainly hope you will all enjoy it.

Have a happy new year!

[Savio]

wackkkkkkkkkkkk

[MTH15]

This is gonna be soooo sick

[Savio]

this other message board I go to says that Ridley is in

[Drakul]

Gamefaqs has the usual bunch of "insiders" saying so-and-so is in and so-and-so isn't. There is info on the internet from a recent event called JumpFesta or something. Turns out there is a soccor ball from Mario Strikers and sand bag are both items.

[Drakul]

Heres some of the info gathered from that JumpFesta thing. Contains AT and Item spoilers.

- Pk freeze of Lucas is easier to control than Pk flash from Ness of SSBM
- The soccer ball, when used, will move very fast and flames will appear around it. (kinda like a Super Strike of the Mario Strikers series). the ball cannot be countered or caught in any way. If it is homing still remains unknown.
- The watch (clock?) item will slow down your oponent. how it is activated is not known. The article states that the user can be slowed down by this item too in some rare occasion.
- Kirby's final smash deals about 35% damage to all players
- The mines Snake can bury are not detonated if a player steps on them. The player must press a button to detonate them. Which button must be pressed is still unknown.
- Kirby's attacks seem to deal more damage than they did in SSBM
- Wario seems to be in the top tier, his strength is huge, but he seems to be rather slow. Kinda like Ganondorf of SSBM.
- Pegasus knight of the Fire emblem series is an assist trophy, also the song "The Kingdom of Bern" seems to be in SSBB.
- Rosalina of Super Mario Galaxy is also an assist trophy. She seems to float around and drop starbits, which heal some damage when picked up.
- Regigigas, Metagross, Onix and Garchomp are Pokéball appearances. Metagross seems to use earthquake, Onix seems to use the same he did in SSB64 and Regigigas seems to use Crush grip.
- Pokémon trainer and Pit seem to use voice acting. For example, when a pokémon of the trainer uses an attack, the pokémon trainer would shout something like "take that" or "triple finish".
- Zelda's Din's fire is less powerfull than it was in SSBM

[Drakul]

There was already an entry detailing how we’ve brought back some of the stages from Super Smash Bros. Melee...

So here are some more stages that can also be played in Super Smash Bros. Brawl!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/images/icon/world_w_11.gifYoshi’s Island
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stages/images/stage21/stage21_080107a.jpg
The steep slopes on either side are its defining characteristic.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stages/images/stage21/stage21_080107b.jpg
That central platform screams "accident!"

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/images/icon/world_w_03.gifCorneria
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stages/images/stage21/stage21_080107c.jpg
Battle atop the Great Fox!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stages/images/stage21/stage21_080107d.jpg
Of course, Arwings come flying in, too.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/images/icon/world_w_07.gifOnett
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stages/images/stage21/stage21_080107e.jpg
The offensive and defensive struggles on the buildings of Onett return!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stages/images/stage21/stage21_080107f.jpg
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Watch out for cars.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/images/icon/world_w_06.gifBrinstar
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stages/images/stage21/stage21_080107g.jpg
It’s the dreaded, legendary ocean of acid!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stages/images/stage21/stage21_080107h.jpg
The rising and falling ocean of acid changes the field of play greatly.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/images/icon/world_w_10.gifRainbow Ride

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stages/images/stage21/stage21_080107i.jpg
Tour the course in this forced scrolling stage.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stages/images/stage21/stage21_080107j.jpg
The boat sinks mid-trip and you embark on a roundabout tour!

This is amazing! Is this a lavish feast or what? I can tell you that for everyone working on this game, the amount of content has been surprising to say the least.

[Savio]

I hated yoshis board

[Drakul]

I thought Yoshis Island was a good stage. I wasn't so keen on Rainbow Ride though.

[Savio]

I like Capt F second stage but not rainbow road.

[Drakul]

Dive into a ruthless battle with an army of enemy pawns: the Multi-Man Brawl!

Multi-Man Brawl hosts a wealth of different brawls, including the widely recognised 100-man Brawl.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various21/various21_080108a.jpg
This is the Multi-Man Brawl menu.

Speaking of the Multi-Man Brawl, what could the enemy team of fighters be this time around? It’s the Fighting Alloy Team!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various21/various21_080108b.jpg
Red Alloy! He’s not the leader or anything!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various21/various21_080108c.jpg
Blue Alloy! For some reason she seems kind of gentle.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various21/various21_080108d.jpg
Yellow Alloy! These horns are scintillating!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various21/various21_080108e.jpg
Green Alloy! It may look like Kirby, but it’s not him!

If it’s a 100-Man Brawl, then you continue fighting until you’ve beaten 100 of them. Destroying so many really cleanses the spirit.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various21/various21_080108f.jpg
Just keep launching them!

This time, we’ve added a much desired mode...

Two-player Multi-Man Brawls!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various21/various21_080108g.jpg
Amazing! Co-op play?!

With two of you watching each other’s backs, it’s that much more fun. But that’s not all!

There’s a mode for playing with a friend over Nintendo WFC!

We’ve included online Team Multi-Man Brawl!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various21/various21_080108h.jpg
This is the With Friends menu.

Don’t you want to co-operate sometimes instead of just fighting each other? That’s what this is for.

[Drakul]

Pretty sure Red Alloy is Captain Falcon, Blue Alloy is Zelda, Yellow Alloy is Animal Crosser (he wore a hat with horns and is roughly the same size) and Green Alloy is Kirby.

[Drakul]

Pikmin & Olimar

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/pikmin/pikmin.jpg

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

Without Pikmin, Olimar can’t even do a Smash Attack. And the short-lived Pikmin tend to scatter. Theirs is a fated symbiotic relationship.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/pikmin/pikmin_080109a.jpg http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/pikmin/pikmin_080109b.jpg

[Drakul]

The 2nd update was music. The Pikmin World Map (http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/music/music20.html).

[Extreme Angle]

amazing

[Tornado]

This just gets better and better.

[.44 Magdalene]

FUCK ME SIDEWAYS



SOMEONE FETCH ME A KLEENEX.

[Savio]

Gay. pikmin.

[Drakul]

What's wrong with Pikmin?

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Pikmin is okay, but I'd much rather see Megaman, Ridley, Geno, Mallow, someone like that.

Even so...pretty cool. Still wish we had a complete comprehensive list. Waiting this out sucks. :mad:

[Drakul]

Grenade Launcher

Snake’s Final Smash is the Grenade Launcher.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/snake/snake_080110a.jpg
What is he calling in...?

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/snake/snake_080110b.jpg
Suddenly he does a great jump!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/snake/snake_080110c.jpg
Choppa-choppa-choppa!

Snake grabs the rope ladder the helicopter drops and takes out his grenade launcher!

So, the thing to do is shoot, right?

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/snake/snake_080110d.jpg
Poom! Poom! Poom!

You control the targeting reticule and press the attack button to fire grenades one at a time. There are six rounds, and when you run out...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/snake/snake_080110e.jpg
...he loads a new clip? How can that be?

It ends when you shoot 12 rounds or run out of time. Snake then climbs back up to return to battle.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/snake/snake_080110f.jpg
Yep. He makes his exit.

It’s probably better to just shoot all your rounds rather than run out of time leaving ammo behind...but if you just shoot indiscriminately, your shots may be dodged.

When there are two or more enemies, it might be a good idea to hit one while he is being attacked by the other, or something along those lines.

[Savio]

Pretty hot.

[Lock Jaw]

Meh. Pikmin.

[MTH15]

Megaman would make this game mega addictive

[Drakul]

Captain Olimar is among the most specialised characters within the cast of Smash Bros. Brawl.

In order to really unleash Olimar’s full potential, you’ve got to have a good knowledge of his helpful cohorts, the Pikmin!

Standard Special Move: Pikmin Pluck
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/pikmin/pikmin_080111a.jpg
Pluck, pluck, pluck up Pikmin.

First, uproot a few Pikmin from the ground. You can have up to six Pikmin at one time. As long as there is ground beneath your feet, you can reach down and pull up a Pikmin, but be aware that certain Pikmin are more likely to appear in specific types of flooring.

There are 5 types of Pikmin to use!

- Red Pikmin -
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/pikmin/pikmin_080111b.jpg

High attack power
Attacks imbued with incendiary properties
Immune to fire


- Yellow Pikmin -
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/pikmin/pikmin_080111c.jpg

Range of attack slightly larger than usual; easy to hit enemies with
Travel in slight arcs when thrown
Attacks imbued with electrical properties


- Blue Pikmin -
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/pikmin/pikmin_080111d.jpg

Strong when thrown
Slightly more durable than average


- Purple Pikmin -
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/pikmin/pikmin_080111e.jpg

Doesn’t fly far when thrown
Slow
High attack power
Slams into enemies instead of latching on when thrown


- White Pikmin -
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/pikmin/pikmin_080111f.jpg

Quick and light
When latched onto opponent, poison does additional damage


You can work out which Pikmin you will attack with next by looking at the order they are lined up in.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/pikmin/pikmin_080111g.jpg
You’ll use a Red Pikmin in your next attack.

In order to perform a Smash Attack, certain mid-air attacks, and even throws, you’re going to need Pikmin!

Anyhow, just do your best to not kill off your platoon. Olimar doesn’t stand much of a chance by himself.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/pikmin/pikmin_080111h.jpg
Pikmin don’t have graves, you know.

Side Special Move: Pikmin Throw

Throw Pikmin that latch on to your opponent!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/pikmin/pikmin_080111i.jpg
They’ll cause an enemy’s damage percentage to slowly rise!

Up Special Move: Pikmin Chain

If you think you’re about to plunge to your doom, this right here is your best chance for survival.

The recovery distance for this technique is dependent upon the number of Pikmin currently in your troop!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/pikmin/pikmin_080111j.jpg
Just imagine what would’ve happened
if you had had one less Pikmin!

Down Special Move: Pikmin Order

Call back Pikmin who have managed to separate from you. You can also use this technique to shift a new Pikmin to the front of the line.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/pikmin/pikmin_080111k.jpg
Tweeet! Line up, everyone!

So there you have it. I bet you’re a little confused by his eccentric play style.

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

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/pikmin/pikmin_080111l.jpg
Whoa, the battlefield sure is crowded today...

[Vietnamese Crippler]

I have to say: that's a cool recovery.

[.44 Magdalene]

That recovery is easily one of the ten greatest things I've ever seen happen in a videogame.

[.44 Magdalene]

Seriously, though. It's up on the same list as Dahlia eating a fetus in Silent Hill 3.

[Shadow]

......yeah, he's not as lame as I thought.

THIS GAME IS GONNA ROCK!

[Vietnamese Crippler]

29 days :|

[Drakul]

Apparantly Snake and Sonic are unlockables. If they are then do you think anything else we've seen has been an unlockable? I was wanting surprises left for me to discover on my own but I've probably seen everything in the game now without realising it.

[MTH15]

They should not even mention Megaman and just put him in the game. When you beat Adventure mode with Snake and Classic mode with sonic you unlock him. That would rule.

[Vietnamese Crippler]

Apparantly Snake and Sonic are unlockables. If they are then do you think anything else we've seen has been an unlockable? I was wanting surprises left for me to discover on my own but I've probably seen everything in the game now without realising it.

I'm positive there's going to be so much more than what they have released. It would just be bad practice otherwise.

[.44 Magdalene]

With the last two games, they didn't release the unlockable characters until after the game was already out. Dojo hasn't said explicitly yet whether or not Snake and Sonic are secret characters, nor have I seen any other really reliable source put it down for sure.

Chances are good that there's still unlockables o'plenty.

[Drakul]

Some Japanese magazine called "Coro Coro" did a big thing about Brawl, some guy translated it and said the magazine said Sonic and Snake where unlockables. Anyway, I'm hoping the Dojo doesn't give away all the unlockables.

[Savio]

doesn't it come out in Japan soon?

[.44 Magdalene]

This month. By the time we get it 'Stateside, there will probably be no doubt as to who's on the full roster.

There's still no sign of alot of the classic characters--while Pichu, Roy, Marth, Ness, and Dr. Mario are pretty likely to get the boot, I don't really know why they'd abruptly get rid of Luigi, Game & Watch, Jiggs and Captain Falcon.

Especially Captain Falcon, since F-Zero has Assist Trophies in the game already. I keep thinking Falcon might be unlockable if they switched up his appearance dramatically--there's talk of redesigning him for future F-Zero games.

[.44 Magdalene]

More specifically, it gets released on 1/24 in Japan.

[.44 Magdalene]

ALSO, the revealing of Snake and Sonic are understandable. Snake was the big hype getter from the very first trailer, and was there to make sure everybody knew third parties are okay now--let it sink in before you get any further, y'know.

Sonic was revealed because--let's face it--if they hadn't, news of the pushed back release date would have started fanboy riots.

[Savio]

I hope Roy will still be in....I kicked ass with Jiggly on some stages.

[.44 Magdalene]

With Ike confirmed, I don't think Roy's going to make it.

[Savio]

NEW INFO:
Pokémon:
Metagross - Definitely uses Earthquake
Onix
Garchomp
Castform
Gardevoir
Regigigas - Starts out slow and gradually turns red, until it uses what they think is Crush Grip
Latias & Latios - One comes out of a ball and calls the other one, then they zoom across the stage

Assist Trophies:
Duster
Rosalina/Rosetta - throws out star pieces for a few seconds, and that if you pick them up, you'll recover health. A Luma comes out with her.
Sothe (SAZA) from Fire Emblem Series - because knives are banned, he attacks with a sumersalt kick instead
Lakitu (JUGEMU)
Group of Pegasus Knights from Fire Emblem Series - "they attack in a group or something, with a Falcon Knight"
Jill Dozer ("drill girl with pink hair" but no doubt there)
Birdo — Shoots eggs at an opponent. Pretty standard Assist Trophy. Oh, and he's fully rendered; it's not a 2D sprite like the Melee stage hazard. (needs confirmation)
Tingle — Like the Nintendog or Mr. Resetti, Tingle doesn't inflinct any actual damage; he just stands there and does a little dance while shouting "Tingle-Tingle, Kooloo-Limpah," then disappears. I like to think of him as the Goldeen of the Assist Trophies. (needs confirmation)
Raiden — I'm not a big fan of the Metal Gear Solid series, but I think this is Raiden (he's the guy with the white hair, right?) He just attacks with a sword before disappearing. Didn't seem very interesting to me. (needs confirmation)

Character Specific:
Pokemon Trainer speaks for his Final Smash (meaning VO)
Pit speaks for his Final Smash (meaning VO)
Snake's Mine is remotely triggered not proximity based and damage ranges from 10% to 20%
Fox is unable to move when he shoots his blaster in the air (may be referring to being able to turn around with your neutral B in the air maybe)
Kirby is stronger than he was in Melee
- up air is weaker
- Kirby's new "Yo-yo dash" is mentioned, but they say he doesn't use "yo-yos" as one would expect. It's called "Break Spin" and it's from Kirby Super Star.) See it here: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/26661.html at 1:38 & 1:42. Via Wikia: A break-dance style spin to stun the enemy directly
- Can no longer escape from his back throw anymore.
- His final smash not only sucks in enemies, but it sucks in nearby items as well. And when there are alot of the a single item that are sucked in, they can come out as the same item don't quite understand what he's saying here
-He was able to swallow some of the items and gain abilities from them. "The only item I got to see him suck up was the Fire Flower, which enabled Kirby to spit fire out (pretty identical to his Bowser hat in Melee)." Not all items can be swallowed for special abilities, though. (needs confirmation)
Yoshi's Final Smash Fireballs EACH pack 25% of damage
Wario's standard special move is a "Bite"; with it, you can "eat" an opponent and spit them out by pressing the special move button again (similar to Yoshi's Egg Lay). You can "eat" projectiles... if you eat a projectile without pressing the special move button again, Wario will eventually absorb it and recover a bit of health. You can also press the special move button to spit the projectile back out at your opponent. (needs confirmation)

Items:
Timer/Clock - Slows your opponents down, but it will sometimes flub like the hammer, and if that happens, YOU will slow down instead. So it's like grabbing "dynamite"!
Soccer Ball - Cannot be countered or caught and it turns into fire when you kick it.
Sandbag - When you beat him up other items come out

Music:
BGM siege warfare, "the theme of Fire" and the fiery "Bern superpower" (placeholder, will correct to real english)
Zelda's "Great Bay" song from Melee is selectable
Brinstar BGM, Samus's Theme, and the Metroid Ending Theme were selectable on Norfair
Two songs titled "Athletic" and "Ending BGM" were selectable on the Yoshi's Island stage

Stages:
WarioWare Stage - It seems if you "pass" a mini-game, you heal a little bit
WarioWare stage includes over 8 minigames, including Appeal!, Destroy!, Shave!, Cracker/Clacker! (?), Stay Dry!, Dodge!, Jump! & Don't Move!

Misc:
Apparently, the lv.9 CPUs are still weak

"And before anybody attacks regarding Snake; no, he wasn't playable. There were several videos featured at Jump Festa and Snake was on one of them fighting Link. That's how some of his attack percentages were seen."

Translations:

From the main thread on sumabura-x.com for JumpFesta. Here's a breakdown of the posts. All are from WeeklyJumpMan

Quote:
1-20: Alot of talking about things they want to see at Jump Festa and the like.

21-31: They talk about Wario & Kirby replacing Sonic & DK at the event.

32-75: (Latias & Latios are Poke Ball Pokemon), (it seems that on the WarioWare level, if you "pass" a mini-game, you heal a little bit), (Wario has his Wario Land clothes and Meta Knight has a "Kirby" color), (Animal Crossing Main Theme, Balloon Fight's Balloon Trip music, and WarioWare Main Theme are present), (when you start a match, the BGM title is displayed), (Wario-Man's bike is so fast, it's easy to take yourself out), (Wario is slow and strong), (you can now swim), (Sandbag is an item, and when you beat him up other items come out), (Pit & Pokemon Trainer talk in Japanese in the Japanese version).

76-130: (Link's Final Smash deals 67%, Ike's does 70%.), (Mario's tornado attack is his air A-down.), (Rosalina, Duster, and Sothe are Assists), (Onix, Garchomp, and Castform are Poke Balls, but the user states he's not 100% positive about this), (Poke Ball Gardevoir and Metagross are confirmed. Metagross uses "Earthquake"), (Yoshi's Final Smash Fireballs each pack 25% of damage.) (The WarioWare stage includes over 8 minigames, including "Don't Move"), (Kirby's new "Yo-yo dash" is mentioned, but they say he doesn't use "yo-yos" as one would expect. It's called "Gazer Spiral"(?) and it's from Kirby Super Star.), (Zelda's "Great Bay" song from Melee is selectable).

131-190: (Apparently, the lv.9 CPUs are still weak), (Snake's remote mine damage ranges from 10%-20%), (Brawl is slower than Melee, but smoother), (Poke Ball Regigigas is mentioned and his attack is "Crush Claw"), (Several posters state that Bowser and Kirby are far superior to their Melee versions).

190-230: (Brinstar BGM, Samus's Theme, and the Metroid Ending Theme were selectable on Norfair), (Two songs titled "Athletic" and "Ending BGM" were selectable on the Yoshi's Island stage), (Characters feel "balanced"), (Diddy's a "speed" character).

231-273: Just character discussion like "Fox is weaker", "Diddy's amazing", etc.

And before anybody attacks regarding Snake; no, he wasn't playable. There were several videos featured at Jump Festa and Snake was on one of them fighting Link. That's how some of his attack percentages were seen.

Be aware that these Japanese posters are still susceptible to "speculation" and maybe even a "little white lie" every now and then. Just like us Americans.

I'm not 100% positive about that WarioWare stage healing gimick... but we'll see...

Quote:
OK, found something. Someone on there claims that Metagross, Onix, Garchomp, Castform, and Gardevoir are in balls (we knew Gardevoir already of course). They further say that Metagross hovers above the ground and stabs it, causing an earthquake.

This person also reports Duster, Rosetta (Rosalina), and Sothe as ATs (as well as Lakitu and Samurai Goroh) and that Sandbag-kun is an item.


Quote:
Oh, there's more in the comments, no wonder I missed it.

One person claims Regigigas, Metagross, and Garchomp are in balls. They say Regigigas starts out slow and gradually turns red, until it uses what they think is Crush Grip. They also say that Metagross definitely uses Earthquake.

Quote:
One person says "Latias appears (calls Latios)". I'm not sure what that means. I guess maybe that they're the same ball summon, and that Latias appears first, who calls Latios to come in too? Could explain why they do the same attack.

Also says that Pokemon Trainer and Pit say something with their final smashes, so I guess PT has a VA after all. On the other site, I believe they said PT says Ikuzo! Sanmittai! which, if the English version uses the same as the English site does, will be "Take that! Triple Finish!"

They also say Wario's techniques are slow to come out, but he's powerful.

It states that Rosalina throws out star pieces for a few seconds, and that if you pick them up, you'll recover health. And the writer also states that a Luma comes out with her.

Mario's tornado is now down air.

On December 27th, 2007 the Japan-Only Everybody's Nintendo Wii Channel posted up two new videos (not Brawl specific).
This is one of them: http://www.revver.com/video/588006/e...trailer-dec27/
It contains only about 8 seconds of Brawl footage which I believe is just recycled.

[b]This is unconfirmed information but probably true. We need somebody on the Japanese forums to confirm this:

Quote:
Birdo — Shoots eggs at an opponent. Pretty standard Assist Trophy. Oh, and he's fully rendered; it's not a 2D sprite like the Melee stage hazard.

Tingle — Like the Nintendog or Mr. Resetti, Tingle doesn't inflinct any actual damage; he just stands there and does a little dance while shouting "Tingle-Tingle, Kooloo-Limpah," then disappears. I like to think of him as the Goldeen of the Assist Trophies.

Raiden — I'm not a big fan of the Metal Gear Solid series, but I think this is Raiden (he's the guy with the white hair, right?) He just attacks with a sword before disappearing. Didn't seem very interesting to me.

Anyway, those are all of the new ATs I've seen. A friend at the event claimed to have seen Kumatora and Duster from MOTHER 3, but take that as you will. I'll vouche for his credibility, though.

As for Poké Balls... to be honest, I never cared for Pokémon, so I had NO idea who most of them were. I recognized a lot from Melee, and saw some from the site, as well as a few new ones. I can't name any of them, but rest assured, I know who Lucario is, and I didn't see him in a Poké Ball.

There were a couple items that weren't on the site, but I'm pretty sure they've been mentioned. I'll describe them anyway:

Deku Nut — Just throw this at an opponent and they'll be stunned for a few seconds.

"WARIO IMPRESSIONS

I can't say much about Wario since I've only played as him once. I did notice, however, that his "classic" costume wasn't available in the demo. The DOJO!! update actually came as a surprise to me since I didn't expect costumes to be left out of the demo.

I immediately noticed that his animation has been fixed. His movement is no longer choppy, as seen in some of the older video footage. There are still some 'quirks' to certain animations, but they're definitely more manageable than the original frame (or lack thereof) issue. He's pretty slow and sluggish, but really powerful. He was enjoyable in the two minutes I spent playing as him. His standard special move is a "Bite"; with it, you can "eat" an opponent and spit them out by pressing the special move button again (reminds me of Yoshi's Egg Lay). What's most interesting is that I was able to "eat" projectiles... if you eat a projectile without pressing the special move button again, Wario will eventually absorb it and recover a bit of health. You can also press the special move button to spit the projectile back out at your opponent. Really versatile move. His up special move, which I don't know the name of, is some sort of spinny-cyclone jump attack. I've never played any of Wario's games, so I'm not sure what this is from, but it's fairly standard. Reminds me of a slower Mario Tornado... sort of.

KIRBY IMPRESSIONS

I didn't actually get the chance to use Kirby, as I don't much care for his games, but I've had the opportunity to watch other people use him.

He appeared to play the same as he did in Melee, but I noticed that he was able to swallow some of the items and gain abilities from them. The only item I got to see him suck up was the Fire Flower, which enabled Kirby to spit fire out (pretty identical to his Bowser hat in Melee). I was told that not all items can be swallowed for special abilities, though. "

[Drakul]

There is a bunch of Smash Bros events over the next few days so we should get a lot of info.

I didn't see it mentioned in any of the above posts but Smashville has the Animal Crossing main theme as a BGM.

[.44 Magdalene]

I have to say I was hoping for a Rosalina alternate costume for Peach, but I guess I'll deal.

[.44 Magdalene]

For the record: of the characters I frequently use, Peach is the only confirmed to return. :| My Brawl mains include Ganondorf, Luigi, and Marth.

[Loose Cannon]

fuckin Walmart Online had a special sale Friday that had the game at $19 to Preorder. I missed it by an hr.

Trophies, stickers, music...

Super Smash Bros. Brawl certainly has its share of rewards for you to collect. Among them all are several for which I’ve set certain appearance conditions.

So, to help you manage these performance-based rewards, I’ve created the Challenges mode. This mode gives you hints about what you need to do to unlock these items!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various22/various22_080114a.jpg
This is the Challenges screen.

It’s totally empty. I’d say that if anyone saw this empty screen in-game, it would be an extremely rare occurrence.

Each one of these windows has some condition or other that will unlock it.

When you meet a set of conditions while playing through the game, its window will automatically break open.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various22/various22_080114b.jpg
KSSSSHHH! Then you get what’s inside!

If there’s a CD inside, you can listen to that CD on the spot.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various22/various22_080114c.jpg
Hmmm... Nice.

When a window breaks, you’ll see a red silhouette of the windows on either side. When you align the cursor with these windows, you can see the conditions for breaking them open, too.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various22/various22_080114d.jpg
As you can see...

Use this to take on challenge after challenge so you can earn more, more, MORE prizes! It’s much easier to get excited about it when you know what you have to do.

By the way, you can use as many Golden Hammers as there are down below.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various22/various22_080114e.jpg
Even windows that aren’t open...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various22/various22_080114f.jpg
...can be broken open with a little force!

But use the hammers at your own discretion. Once used, a hammer will never return. You’ll want to save them for challenges you just can’t seem to overcome.

Oh, but you should also know that there are some windows even a trusty Golden Hammer won’t break.

And be careful of friends who might egg you on. I mean, imagine you have a hammer, some pristine glass, and a friend who just keeps telling you to break the glass...

It makes you want to break it, huh?

[KingofOldSchool]

fuckin Walmart Online had a special sale Friday that had the game at $19 to Preorder. I missed it by an hr.

It was a price mistake and they canceled all of the orders.

[Drakul]

Pikmin’s protagonist, Captain Olimar, was forced to make an emergency landing on this unexplored planet.

Let’s just call it the Distant Planet for now, shall we?

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stages/images/stage22/stage22_080115a.jpg
The flooring in the middle of the stage is made of vines and is very bouncy.

As you play, you’ll see numbered Pellets fall from the Pellet Posies around the stage. Grab one of these and throw it into a nearby Onion to get items.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stages/images/stage22/stage22_080115b.jpg
Here’s a Pellet and an Onion.

Also, this planet experiences frequent torrential downpours. When things get wet, you’ll want to stay away from the hill on the left, as it gets pretty treacherous.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stages/images/stage22/stage22_080115c.jpg
Whoa, that’s some fierce rain right there!

Oh yeah – there are some fierce creatures prowling the area, so watch your step.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stages/images/stage22/stage22_080115d.jpg
You sure it’s safe to stand there?

......What am I saying? Of course it’s not safe! Anyway, take care that you don’t get gobbled up.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stages/images/stage22/stage22_080115e.jpg
Chomp!

[Drakul]

Due to delays in the completion of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, we’ve had to change the release date of the game to Sunday, March 9th.

I deeply apologize to the people who have looked forward to playing the game for so long and ask that you hold on just a little longer. Thank you for your patience.

[Extreme Angle]

Yet, I'm somehow not surprised :mad: :foc: :mad: :foc: :mad: :foc:

[Drakul]

I'm not sure why he has delayed it again. Maybe he wanted to have a worldwide release so he's delaying it until the PAL version is done (I think Japans release was delayed for a week or two aswell). It's probably just a shipping problem though.
After the delay was announce his wikipedia page was vandelised with a bunch of stupid things like him being killed by angry fans etc.
GameFAQS poster seemed to take the delay very personally :wtf:.

asshole

[ClockShot]

This sucks. And I just put $10 more on my reserve today.

Then again. I did hear something that there's the slim chance of Mega Man being in the game.

[Tornado]

So does that mean the EU release date is something retarded like August?

[Drakul]

Most people think the PAL version will be released around May. It wouldn't surprise me if it was August, actually.

[Savio]

So does that mean the EU release date is something retarded like August?Nov 9th

FUCKING HELL!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/sheik/sheik.jpg

Use Zelda’s down special move to transform into Sheik! Once you do so, you’ll have access to a completely different character.

Sheik doesn’t appear in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, but we based her model on a design that was drafted up during the development of that game.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/sheik/sheik_080116a.jpg http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/sheik/sheik_080116b.jpg

Sheik's Special Moves

Standard Special Move - Needle Storm
Side Special Move - Chain
Up Special Move - Vanish
Down Special Move - Transform
Final Smash - Light Arrow

[Drakul]

They have update every characters profile page with a list of their specials and their Final Smash.

So they have let us know the name of Olimars Final Smash. It's called "End of Day".

edit - The Japanese magazine "Famitsu" reviewed Brawl and gave it 40/40. Making Brawl only the 8th game to ever get a full score from them. Apparantly, Famitsu is a pretty important magazine in Japan.

[.44 Magdalene]

Sheik satisfies me, despite a f;ajf;jakfj;jf;fucking delayed release date.

[Kalyx triaD]

Twilight Princess style Sheik!!! Zelda's the baddest bitch in Nintendo!

[ClockShot]

This now proves the Zelda is gonna put Princess Peach in her place in this game.

End of Day

Captain Olimar always makes sure to return to his spaceship before nightfall when he’s out exploring new planets. Why is that?

That’s because night-time on these planets is absolutely teeming with scaaary wild beasts! To avoid an encounter with those creatures, Olimar takes to the safety of space during the night.

So how could we represent this idea in Brawl...?


http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/pikmin/pikmin_080117a.jpg
First things first. Get that Smash Ball!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/pikmin/pikmin_080117b.jpg
There’s Olimar’s ship!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/pikmin/pikmin_080117c.jpg
Blast off! The ship soars higher and higher into the stratosphere.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/pikmin/pikmin_080117d.jpg
Stars fill the sky above.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/pikmin/pikmin_080117e.jpg
Wild beasts everywhere! Aaaah!

Characters left behind on the ground take lots and lots of damage.

But dishing out damage alone won’t score you points. The more people in the brawl, the more damage you can expect this attack to do, but beware – another opponent may steal the KO you’ve worked so hard to set up.

In a one-on-one match, this Final Smash won’t deal as much damage, but hey, there’s no worry that someone else will steal your KO, either.

I guess you could call this balancing the gameplay, huh?

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/pikmin/pikmin_080117f.jpg
The ship comes crashing back to the battlefield
with a huge explosion! Maybe, if you’re lucky,
you’ll catch someone in the blast?

Your battle against the Subspace Emissary will be one of epic fury. Naturally, you’re going to want to do everything you can to strengthen each character for the fight ahead.

And that’s where stickers come into the picture!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/modea/images/modea12/modea12_080118a.jpg
These should do the trick.

Did you think those stickers were just for collecting?

Well, it seems you thought wrong! The truth is startling, huh?

Each sticker houses a special power-up. For example, some will up your attack power, others bolster the damage from fire-based attacks, and some even keep you from flying as far when you take a hit.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/modea/images/modea12/modea12_080118b.jpg
You can find the details of each sticker’s power-up ability here.

On the Map screen, select the Sticker option to move to the sticker-application screen. You can switch between characters with the L and R Buttons.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/modea/images/modea12/modea12_080118c.jpg
Here’s a shot of the underside of a trophy base.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/modea/images/modea12/modea12_080118d.jpg
Now slap down one of the sticky stickers you’ve collected.

Generally speaking, the bigger the sticker, the more dramatic the power up.

The more stickers you put on a trophy base, the more powerful that character becomes, but you’ll need to consider your placement and sticker choices carefully as space is limited.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/modea/images/modea12/modea12_080118e.jpg
Fill in those bare spots with little stickers...

Leave no space unused!

When two stickers offering a similar power-up are placed on a trophy base, only the more potent of the two power-ups will take effect.

So, for example, if you had [Leg] Attack +4 and [Leg] Attack +6 stickers on the same trophy base, the added [Leg] Attack bonus wouldn’t be +10, it’d simply be treated as if you’d only put down the +6 sticker.

You should always remember to maintain balance in your sticker selections.

Also, some stickers can only be placed on certain characters. Stickers whose range of usage is limited in this fashion are proportionally stronger when placed appropriately. Do your best to find a good place for each sticker.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/modea/images/modea12/modea12_080118f.jpg
If you find placing down stickers yourself too much of a bother, just let the game do it for you by selecting Random.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/modea/images/modea12/modea12_080118g.jpg
Once you’re ready, apply all the stickers at once!

You can adjust the position of stickers until you choose to apply them, but you can’t place stickers on top of each other, so you’ll occasionally need to remove old stickers to make space for new ones.

Once you peel off a sticker you applied, you lose it for good! So take care when you lay down your stickers.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/modea/images/modea12/modea12_080118h.jpg
Stickers applied to a trophy base take on a grey tint.

Also, for some reason, you’re able to readjust the position of an applied sticker on its trophy base.

So while removed stickers are gone forever, you’ll be getting stickers left and right as you play – you’ll probably find that sticker you lost again. And, if you only use stickers you have doubles of, you’ll never lose one from your collection.

Plus, as I’ve said before, the higher you set the difficulty in The Subspace Emissary, the better your chance of running across rare stickers.

Going back to a previously-completed stage and cranking the difficulty up for a second run is a good way to round out your sticker collection.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/modea/images/modea12/modea12_080118i.jpg
If you retry a beaten stage, you can adjust the difficulty level.

But if you should die and find yourself at the game over screen, be prepared to lose half the stickers you collected.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/modea/images/modea12/modea12_080118j.jpg
Nooo! What a waste of good stickers!

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

[Drakul]

Sounds very interesting to me.

[Vietnamese Crippler]

Ahhh, fuck them for delaying it again :mad:

[Drakul]

Yeah, but only by 1 month. It's not all that bad.

I hate to repeat myself but at least the US has a date.

[Vietnamese Crippler]

I just sucks (kind of) for me because the release date is during my school finals :o

[.44 Magdalene]

I hope Subspace Emissary is long enough to make the sticker thing worth the trouble.

Also, because huge adventure mode = Delight.

[Drakul]

Someone that's good at maths from another forum said, judging by the "3% clear" in the top right part of the second last screenshot in todays up, there is probably around about 33 level in Adventure mode.
I don't know how he figured it out because I'm useless at maths but I pointed out that maybe the 3% clear actually means just the level that is highlighted is 3% clear. Maybe by collecting stickers, trophies and defeating enemies in that level, the precentage for the level goes up.

Either way SSE is going to be pretty long considering it was said it would take roughly 10 hours to go through. Although, they always exagerate the time. Remember they said Twilight Princess would take about 60 hours and almost everyone did it in about 11-15 hours.

[Vietnamese Crippler]

Wasn't the 60 hours estimate for TP for going through all the sidequests, item hunting, etc?

Because I got up to around 40 hours when I finished it :-\

[MTH15]

Im gonna get this for my B-Day then

[Drakul]

Wasn't the 60 hours estimate for TP for going through all the sidequests, item hunting, etc?

Because I got up to around 40 hours when I finished it :-\

Maybe. I can't remember but either way, it's less than the 60 hours they said it would take.

[Tornado]

Nov 9th

Is that some sort of joke......

[Drakul]

Pretty sure it was. We'll get Brawl in the summer at the latest. Some places say Q2, GAME says May and the latest issue of Official Nintendo Magazine says summer 2008. I'm hoping it'll be April/May but you know how long Nintendo take to give us anything in the UK so summer seems the most likely to me.

[Savio]

nah I'm gettin it march 9th

[Drakul]

Light Arrow

In the final battles of many of the games in The Legend of Zelda series, you didn’t want to be low on arrows. A lot of times they were Silver Arrows, though...

Zelda’s ace in the hole is the magical Light Arrow, which you can use even as Sheik.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/zelda/zelda_080121a.jpg
Ready for the Final Smash!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/zelda/zelda_080121b.jpg
Draw the bow tight...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/zelda/zelda_080121c.jpg
Fire! A beam of light pierces your enemy.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/zelda/zelda_080121d.jpg
Your enemy is blown away by a tremendous force!

When you’re using Sheik, some of the characteristics of the attack will change, like the direction your opponent gets knocked in.

It’s good to use the character whose attack is best suited to the cover on each stage, but you probably shouldn’t worry TOO much about that.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/characters/images/zelda/zelda_080121e.jpg
After all, once they’re hit, they’re pretty much done for.

If you’re just playing one-on-one though, the Light Arrow might be easy to dodge. Try to create a situation where you have a good shot.

[Drakul]

Nintendo leaked 3 characters in the 5 minute Japanese trailer I posted above.
At 4:20, when it shows you the sticker album, if you pause it and look at the botton right corner it shows the faces of the characters the sticker is for. One of the stickers gives away *Character spoilers. highlight to read* Jigglypuff and Lucario are in. Then, if you pause at 4:21, it shows that *More characters spoilers* Ness is back. *end spoilers*

[Savio]

I don;t see what your talkin about

[.44 Magdalene]

Apparently, Nintendo edited out alot of the original videos.

<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pfb2l-iYlRo&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pfb2l-iYlRo&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

If you believe this whole mess--and it's the Smash Brothers community, so I'm not entirely positive that I do yet--then that video right there is the original. When it shows the sticker album at 4:20 and 4:21, and different stickers are highlighted, you can distinctly see tiny face icons in the white bar beneath the book. These faces are supposed to represent characters that the stickers are attached to.

Again, it's Smash Bros fans, who are notorious for faking and/or misinterpreting shit like this.

If you buy the whole story, though, then the face icons for Jiggs, Ness, and Lucario are visibe. The YouTube's so fucking blurry that I can't tell jack from jack shit, but I guess I'll take everyone's word for it.

[.44 Magdalene]

On second glance, the Ness and Jiggs faces are very, very distinct. Especially Jiggs. I wouldn't be surprised if that were someone's face besides Ness's, but that's 100% Jigglypuff right there. The Lucario, I'm still not too sure about.

Again, that's assuming this is totally legit. The "Nintendo edited out the videos real fast" story is hilarious, whether it's true or not.

[Lock Jaw]

What the hell is Lucario?

[.44 Magdalene]

http://seriousnerd.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/art-lucario.jpg

[.44 Magdalene]

To be fair, alot of people do want it in. I just disagree with its inclusion if they're ditching Mewtwo for it.

[Lock Jaw]

Meh. Pokemon past #151 are lame.

[.44 Magdalene]

For the most part, yeah. I don't honestly know what the hype's about.

[Drakul]

Screen captures of the video.

The small faces are the characters the highlighted sticker works for. From left to right it shows, Pikachu, Pokemon Trainer, Lucario & Jigglypuff.

It’s Manaphy! This Pokémon also appeared in a film.

This Manaphy is quite different from the other Pokémon that appear in this game. So much so that you’ll think, is this even possible?! Or words to that effect.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/mball/images/mball09/mball09_080122b.jpg
It appears from the Poké Ball!

.........

Nothing happened...? No. That is not so.

Why, Zelda and DK have switched bodies! Wait... You mean, I’m her, and she’s me?!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/mball/images/mball09/mball09_080122e.jpg
AAAUUUGGGHHH!

You have to fight as your opponent for a while! They say it’s good to know your enemy.

But you haven’t really swapped places, so if you jump off the edge, it counts as a self-destruct for you. And your damage meter remains as it was.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/mball/images/mball09/mball09_080122f.jpg
After a certain amount of time, you go back to normal.
Phew. Good.

Things always seem to end well in this game, don’t they?

[Drakul]

There’s a webpage nestled within Nintendo’s official site where Mr Iwata, President of Nintendo Co. Ltd., interviews other Nintendo employees. This corner of the website is known as "Iwata Asks".

For some reason, I, Masahiro Sakurai, was invited to one of these interviews.

Wha--?

But I’m not a Nintendo employee! I-is this OK? Are we seriously doing this? Oh, is that so? All right, well, if you insist!

I imagine this interview should give you a tiny glimpse behind the curtains to see what creating Super Smash Bros. Brawl has been like.

Go on and click the link below to check it out!

[tuney41]

cant wait to check out link's new moves and of course how sonic plays

[Drakul]

Well, Link plays just like he does in Melee but he can charge up his up B (the one where he spins around with his sword)

Sonic is apparantly very very fast and good at mid-air attacks.

[Drakul]

Ah, the Mushroom Kingdom. Most Smash players will recognise this place from previous games in the series, where the world was represented in a pixel-art style reminiscent of the original Super Mario Bros.

But why the "y" on the end of "Mushroom"? What’s the difference?

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stages/images/stage23/stage23_080123a.jpg
Oh, so that’s why!

This time around, we’ve designed a stage that recreates the layout of World 1-1 in Super Mario Bros. – but with rich backgrounds added to the mix.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stages/images/stage23/stage23_080123b.jpg
The stage scrolls forward at a leisurely pace.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stages/images/stage23/stage23_080123c.jpg
Pieces of familiar scenery scroll by.

The kingdom you once knew has turned to ruins over the long years, and it is now your battlefield.

You’ll get to enjoy a wide range of familiar structures. Also, since the stage slowly scrolls sideways, battles here will require you to come up with a very different strategy for winning.

Oh, and when you select this stage, it will occasionally load an alternate underground stage!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/stages/images/stage23/stage23_080123d.jpg
This is the famous World 1-2. This one’s also quite charming.

[Drakul]

The 2nd update today is music for the above stage. The song is called Super Mario Bros.: Ground Theme

So I stumbled across the starting roster for the game. *spoilers, obviously*

Disc art (http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/3443/discob9.jpg)

Screenshot of the starting roster (http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/8798/brawlab6.jpg)

Obligatory short, blurry video of roster (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VxrQiCz4_o)

What I keep getting told is that that's bullshit. Apparently, some kid with a website claims to have gotten a pre-release copy of the game...

I could have heard wrong, but that's what I heard. Again, I'm skeptical of anything and everything not on Dojo because goddammit, the Smash fanbase keeps making shit up and Photoshopping shit and etc. Even with the video, that could very definitely be fake.

[.44 Magdalene]

And if you're wondering why I think it's bullshit--not counting the fact that it looks like Bigfoot footage--is this: look at the roster pictures. They're identical to the pictures on Dojo. :| Like they were just cut and paste into tiny squares.

[Drakul]

I heard queensaki (the person that uploaded the video to YouTube) was the creator of some incredibly popular Smash Bros tournement in Japan and got the game a few days early. I don't know why that would entitle him/her to an early disc though.
I don't understand why SB fans fake stuff but I'm inclined to blame GameFAQS.

[Drakul]

While it’s true you can battle over Wi-Fi, your connection environment and the distance between players can cause great changes in speed. That fact would probably make you a little uneasy.

So, we conducted an online battle between Nintendo’s headquarters in Kyoto and the development team in Tokyo. The distance between Kyoto and Tokyo is about 500km, or 310 miles.

Here’s the video of that match.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi06/wi-fi06_080111a.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/movies/movie080124a.html?keepThis=true&TB_iframe=true&height=300&width=430)

[Drakul]

Yes, that was the only update today :/

but Japane got a different match to watch:

[Drakul]

Well, what do we have here...?

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various23/various23_080125a.jpg
Yes, that’s Super Mario Bros.

Several memorable characters compete for brawl supremacy – that’s Super Smash Bros. Brawl in a nutshell.

But what about the past fights for each of those characters? What were they like?

It may sound impossible, but you can experience those battles in Brawl as well!

That’s right, for the first time ever, you can play trial versions of these games by the miracle of Virtual Console!

That’s what Masterpieces is! Here you can relive the greatest battles of the biggest star characters through demo versions of their games.

Here are some of the titles you can expect to see available in Brawl. Crazy, isn’t it?!

Whoaaa. Makes my head spin just seeing all those. You won’t need to be connected to Nintendo WFC to play these games.

Just remember, there are some NES classics in there as demos, so expect some of the time limits on those games to be so short that all you can do is laugh at how hard they are.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various23/various23_080125k.jpg
I’m almost...at the top!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various23/various23_080125l.jpg
Ahaha! Oh man, out of time already?!

That’s what a good demo is all about. It gives you just enough to let you appreciate the game. Plus it’s a lot of fun to see just how far you can go before the little time that you have runs out.

If you take a liking to one of the trial versions, you can always buy the full game through the Shop Channel! You might even find a couple of titles that divert your attention from Brawl for a while.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various23/various23_080125m.jpg
Some titles come with save data.

But hmm, it seems there are still titles hiding in the Masterpieces section.

Titles?! What games don’t I know about?! That discovery is part of the fun, isn’t it?

Masterpieces are called masterpieces for a good reason, and each of the well-loved characters here come from a past that is worthy of that title.

To end, I’d like to take this opportunity to send my thanks to all the game creators and affiliated parties who helped in making this possible.

[Drakul]

This mode is useless to me because I already have each of those games in one form or another.

The Japanese version wil also get Fire emblem and Mother 2. I don't think we will.

http://www.smashbros.com/jp/gamemode/various/images/various23/various23_080125g.jpg
Fire Emblem

Mother 2

Fire Emblem was pretty cool.


Mother 2 was -amazing-, however. I remember buying that huge box with the game, strategy guide, and the air fresheners. Good times. :cool:

And your exploits in Multi-Man Brawl!

The power to record and send out brawl replays is in your hands. You can even zoom in for a close-up on individual characters while viewing replays.

Masterpieces

Savour the "authentic" battles past for many famous characters through Virtual Console trial versions!

Chronicle

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/various/images/various24/various24_080128v.jpg

This bonus feature lets you peruse Nintendo’s library of past titles. Missing titles in your Chronicle will gradually fill in as you obtain stickers and other things related to those games. (However, there are some titles that will not be displayed until the very end.)

Mm hmm... ...This is just nuts.

How on earth did we squeeze all these modes in here? I’ve clearly gone overboard with Brawl.

But still, it’s not like I want everyone to play through every single portion of the game. I think I’d rather you played small portions of the areas you find interesting a little at a time.

Whether you choose to go solo or play with friends, you’re covered, because Brawl is about playing the way you want to play.

[Drakul]

I think this will be last week of posting updates. The game comes out in Japan this week and I'm sure thats when spoilers will be everywhere, so I'll probably disappear until the game reaches the UK.

[Extreme Angle]

Oh my fucking god....
this game is like a fucking god
ffs fuck the uk... always getting delays

And the Yanks still got another month to go :'(

In Brawl there are many ways to add music to your collection, from picking up CDs to unlocking secret songs. However, the number of tracks you can access from the first time you boot up is also quite impressive!

Therefore, I thought I’d go ahead and post a list of songs available from day one.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/images/common/arrow.gifFirst Songs in My Music (http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/music/music22_list.html)

Look at all those songs. Look at those big names...

Just think, that big list of songs is going to do nothing but grow as you pick up CDs and unlock additional melodies.

Man, having all this great music in Brawl is such an honour!

Well, the majority of the crazy shit I've just gone ahead and posted above. I've editted it a few times to throw in more shit.

I've seen pics pretty much confirming Luigi, Ness, Ganonndorf, Captain Falcon, Marth and Lucario.

[Cooler Tom Schuler]

Definitely marking out over confirmation that Falco is back. I've seen rumors that Wolf O'Donnel is also in, which would make me have to change my pants.

[Tornado]

Yeah I mentioned that Wolf might be in in my roster post. Theres a couple of roster pics with him in floating around, but they could be fake. The guys over at GameFAQS are going a tad insane over it, as it basically means you have three identical characters (Fox, Falco and Wolf)

The game is out now in Japan, so I guess we'll know 100% of the roster by the weekend.

Toon Link, wow.

Kinda guessing they'll change his name for the NTSC/PAL Release.

Brawl is what some might call the standard mode for the Smash series. There’s quite a bit to do on the character-selection screen, so I’d like to give you a quick rundown of what you can expect to find there!
There’s no need to memorize all this, though. Uh-uh.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130a.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130a-l.jpg)
Behold, the character-selection screen!

<Choosing a Character>
Move your little hand-shaped cursor around the screen and drop your token on a space of your choosing to select a character.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130b.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130b-l.jpg)
First you grab it, then you place it down.

<Changing Your Character’s Colors>
Tap your selected character to change his or her outfit.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130c.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130c-l.jpg)
Now that’s styling!
On this screen, you can also select which character you start a match as when playing Pokémon Trainer or Zelda/Sheik.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130d.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130d-l.jpg)
Just give the character of your choice a tap and you’re good to go.
For those times when you don’t care who you play, you can let the game decide by placing your token on the Random space. This time, unlike in Melee, you won’t know who you’re going to play as until the match starts.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130e.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130e-l.jpg)
Today I feel like playing Random.

<Name Entry>
Tap on the area marked with a pencil icon below a player’s selected character to select and enter a name for that player.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130f.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130f-l.jpg)
You can also register new names right from the character-selection screen.

<Fighting Computer-Controlled (CPU) Players>
Tap on the area marked with a player’s number (ie. Player 1) or name to exclude that player from the fight or switch that fighter over to a computer-controlled player.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130g.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130g-l.jpg)
All panels for CPU characters are grey!
You can adjust the difficulty of CPU players by tapping on the area where you’d normally tap to select player names.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130h.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130h-l.jpg)
This time around, raising the difficulty level for CPU players will put you up against some pretty fierce competition.

<Changing the Rules>
Access the rules menu by tapping on the area with "2-minute KO fest!" written into it.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130i.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130i-l.jpg)
Tap right here.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130j.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130j-l.jpg)
Switch the rules to a Stock match and it looks like this.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130k.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130k-l.jpg)
And here’s where you can adjust item settings.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130l.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130l-l.jpg)
You can adjust the match length for Time brawls from here as well.

<Setting a Handicap>
If you turn on Handicaps in the rules area, you can set it from the character-selection screen.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130m.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130m-l.jpg)
This ought to make things a bit more thrilling.

<Team Brawl>
Tap on the area marked Brawl in the upper-left portion of the screen to switch play to Team Battle. The most common form of Team Battle is 2 on 2.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130n.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130n-l.jpg)
This text...
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130o.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130o-l.jpg)
...changes to this.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130p.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130p-l.jpg)
Tap on the flag in the upper-left area of the box to change your team assignment.
When everyone has finished making their selections, those famous words "READY TO FIGHT!" will appear on screen. Once you see those words, press the button on your controller that functions as "Start" or tap the words themselves to move to the stage-selection screen.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130q.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130q-l.jpg)
Here’s that stage-selection screen.
I’m sure you see that icon marked Melee Stages down at the bottom of the screen, don’t you? Tap here to access several Melee stages (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/stage18.html) for your playing pleasure.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130r.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various25/various25_080130r-l.jpg)
I couldn’t quite get every stage into Brawl...
But there’s more! There’s a switch at the bottom here marked Custom Stages. Tap on this to access the custom stages you made in the Stage Builder (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/various10.html).
So many situations are possible when you try combining various configurations of characters, stages, items, and individual rule settings. I’m hoping you make full use of these choices and have a lot of fun.

[Drakul]

Yeah, sorry I didn't post the update. I thought with the update being pretty useless and with the amount of spoilers flying around, you guys wouldn't be interested.

[Savio]

I guess this makes me the update King :)

This list appears pretty final.

[Vietnamese Crippler]

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.


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

I think I'll be avoiding the Dojo until March.

[.44 Magdalene]

Spoilers in black.

Wolf O'Donnel is hellaconfirmed. I could dig up YouTubes if people doubt it. Wolf, Fox, and Falco have roughly the same moves, but they're heavily Luigified; for instance, Falco can do his reflector in the air and actually throws it. Wolf's forward special has shorter distance and goes at a bit of an angle. Also, his blasts are larger and fire more slowly, but have fatty stun. He's more of a one-hard-hit kinda character.

Same with Ness and Lucas. Same general moves, but they act quite differently from each other. Ness is up on Dojo now if you're curious.

Windwaker Link is the same as Link, but his animations are Windwaker-esque (his bombs have a dotted line trail when you throw them, etc). His level is a boat that looks rather fun to fight on.

Ganondorf's final smash is turning into Ganon. His moves are very similar to Falcon's, but they did get mixed up a bit--instead of a dashing punch, he grabs the opponent, then explodes them out of his hand. His up special no longer has a flip after the grab/explosion. His down special is much more floaty; if you do on the ground, he just sorta glides forward with the kick.

[Tornado]

Final Roster, with ONE character missing, who is supposedly Star Wolf.

Called it.

[Lock Jaw]

You pretty much just made him writing in black pretty moot.

[Tornado]

I'd already mentioned Star Wolf being in twice before hand, so that being in black itself was pretty moot.

Now to get back to avoid spoilers.

[Savio]

Port Town Aero Dive is the huge track that appears in F-Zero GX/AX.
The main platform for this stage zooms along the track, stopping randomly in several locations, each of which has its own unique terrain.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage24/stage24_080204a.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage24/stage24_080204a-l.jpg)
You start here.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage24/stage24_080204b.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage24/stage24_080204b-l.jpg)
Hop on the platform as it whizzes around the track.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage24/stage24_080204c.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage24/stage24_080204c-l.jpg)
The platform will randomly stop off in one of many locations.
Since this is a rather daring course, the configuration of the terrain in each location within it is appropriately treacherous. Expect lots of steep slopes and ups and downs.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage24/stage24_080204d.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage24/stage24_080204d-l.jpg)
We’ve even included that famous stepped portion of the track.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage24/stage24_080204e.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage24/stage24_080204e-l.jpg)
Th-there’s a wall in the middle of the course?!
Sometimes the platform will even separate completely from the track. When it does, you’re in store for some really great views of the course.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage24/stage24_080204f.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage24/stage24_080204f-l.jpg)
The track looks so 3-D from up here.
Boy, all this talk of angles and curves gets me in the mood to watch a neck-and-neck race. Guess I’ll have to settle for a lightning-fast round of Smash.

[DAMN iNATOR]

So it looks like, that in the Japanese version they can play as “Purin” (who, judging by the pink ball of fur with the big blue-green eyes in the pic, looks to be none other than the Pokémon we in America know as Jigglypuff), whereas it looks like in the character select screen in the screenshots of what is so far in the USA version, we will no longer have the option to play as Jigglypuff. Not a huge loss, but still, it was in both previous games that came out stateside...Oh, well at least G&W is in there...Now they have no excuse to avoid putting in some kind of G&W stage in the game...please, Nintendo, make it so! I remember in Melee, his stage was one of the ones I enjoyed the most intensely.

[.44 Magdalene]

What the fuck are you talking about?



Jigglypuff's in and is probably the first secret character, like she is in every game thus far. Footage of her Final Smash and shit is floating around. There wouldn't be a reason to exclude her specifically from the American version.
