Sonic: Special Moves
The original Sonic the Hedgehog game used only one button. I think that its simple yet exhilarating gameplay was its virtue.
And given that this game’s controls are also simple, I think it personifies his distinctive characteristics. Side Special Move: Spin Dash  Yeah, you have to have this. Hop into a supersonic Spin Dash. If you charge it up just a bit, your speed will increase. It’s also possible to rise up while spinning.  Spin Dash, jump. A two-hit combo.  Then keep pursuing with a midair attack!  And do a Spin Dash in midair to return. That, too? Down Special Move: Spin Charge By holding the Control Stick down and tapping the special-move button, you charge up your spin and do a Spin Dash. This may feel better for some, as there’s no pop.  KEEEEEEEEEE! Up Special Move: Spring Jump And his up special move is the Spring Jump. That spring launches you waayyy up in the air.  That’s high! You might not use it on the ground much, but rumour has it that if you do, the spring that remains can be used by other characters.  Ah! It’s true. |

Taking Snapshots
While playing the game, you might encounter an interesting situation. At times like this, you must PAUSE!
 Stop the action and look at the scene from all different directions. If that pause in the action makes for an interesting shot that you wish you could keep, then by all means, do so. Take a SNAAAAAAAPSHOT!  If you’re on the pause screen, you can snap a photo anytime!  Like this.  Take funny snapshots...  As often as you like! You can take snapshots like the images we’ve shown here on Smash Bros. Dojo. We had a snapshot mode in the past, but you couldn’t take a snapshot anytime in the middle of a match. And they were saved to a GameCube Memory Card—it wasn’t like you could save several dozens of photos. However! This time there are SD cards! With those, you’ll have room to save plenty of snapshots!  Just give it a name and save it to either location. But wait! There’s more!  "Send"??? This feature allows you to send your snapshots to people you’ve registered as Friends for Nintendo WFC play. So you can give them funny little screenshots as presents. You can view them in the Album. Don’t you think you’d be happy to suddenly get a funny photo from a friend? Perhaps online brawling isn’t the only way to compete. Uh, as for that thing that’s blurred out, that’s still a secret. We’re still in development, so I apologise in advance if it gets dropped, but we are thinking of one more trick for this mode. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- My guess is, the "blurred" thing will be some kind of edit mode. Drawing on the snapshots etc. A few other bits of info I've came across. There are two videos on Gamevideos.com and one is Sonic Vs Link. In Sonic Vs Link we are told that you don't just grab Smashballs. It floats around the screen and you chase it and keep hitting it until it breaks. Whoever breaks it gets the Final Smash. They showed the laser sword again and this time it's blue instead of pink. They also said the homerun bat will have unique animations for each character. The other video is Samus Vs Mario and shows the character select screen and we hear the voice over guy. I don't think it's the same guy from Melee. Character entrances are back and Advance Wars has an Assist Trophy. Tiny sprites from the game appear and charge you off the stage. |

New Pork City
The scale of this stage is one of the grandest in the Smash Bros series. The scale is, say, about the same as that Temple stage - you know the one I’m talking about?
It’s New Pork City. It is a city of chaos.  It’s too detailed to fully understand...  The buildings are like...billboards? At any rate, it’s big, so if all someone does is run away, there will be no end to it. But with so much freedom, it becomes a giant playground.  There’s quite a lot of freedom. Also, a monster known as the "Ultimate Chimera" appears on this stage.  The-there it is! If this guy sinks his teeth into you, it will launch you off in one blow. It’s pretty much certain that if you get hit, you’ll lose a life. But there’s nothing you can do. I mean, it IS the Ultimate Chimera.  I’m no match for hiiiiiiiiiiiim... |

Meowth
 Meowth. It’s considered a major Pokémon, but it did not show up in Super Smash Bros. Melee. It now makes its first appearance since the original Smash Bros.  Meowth appears!  It unleashes a slow coin barrage! They call this Pay Day, but it’s not like Meowth’s getting any coins out of it.  It doesn’t appear to throw the coin on its forehead. Huh? That definitely appears to be a coin on its forehead, but what do you suppose they call it in Japan? Maybe if you check the Japanese version of Smash Bros. Dojo you can find out. (Of course, you need to be able to read Japanese!) |

How to use the Wii Remote
Believe it or not, you can use four different controller types with this game! But everyone seems to be most interested in how the Wii Remote works when held sideways.
Please allow me to explain.  +Control Pad : Move Press left or right to walk and press up to jump. If you’re in a real hurry, press twice. Press left or right twice to dash and press down for a short time to fall through some platforms.  Press sideways twice to dash! 2 Button : Basic Moves Just press the button for a standard attack. Press it while pressing a direction on the +Control Pad for a strong attack. You can perform smash attacks in one of the following ways: 1： Press the 1 Button and the 2 Button at the same time. 2： Press the 2 Button and any direction on the +Control Pad at the same time. Just pick whichever one is easiest for you!!  Press the 2 Button at the same time you press up, sideways or down! 1 Button : Special Moves The direction you press will determine what kind of special move you do.  You have four special moves depending on the direction you pick: neutral, up, sideways and down. B Button : Shield This is in a kind of hard-to-press area, but the button for your shield is near your left index finger. To dodge, hold down the B Button and press in a direction. To grab, hold down the B Button and press the 2 Button. To throw an item, hold down the B Button and press the 2 Button.  Using the – Button is the same as pressing B Button and 2 Button. Grab away! A Button : Taunt That’s all! Right now, to grab a Smash Ball, you have to beat on it, not just touch it. Don’t forget!  Be the first to pummel it! When you get a Smash Ball, try a standard special move. In other words, just press the button for your special move without a direction. You will then perform your Final Smash. This is the same for all control schemes, so keep that in mind. Is it really possible to enjoy playing the game without the Control Stick? No need for concern – I bet you can play it quite smoothly and simply...maybe. How about a little mental training before the time comes when you actually control it? |

Little Mac
 Once there was a legendary man. He knocked heavyweight boxers many times his own size to the mat en route to a WVBA title. Little Mac appears from Punch Out!  I can do it! I’m the one!  ...But isn’t he a little small? He may be small, but don’t underestimate him. He’s a real fighter.  A fierce dash!  One! Two! Powerful jabs!  And his special move is his uppercut! Resurrecting this legend for the current generation is something we can all enjoy just a bit. He is an Assist Trophy. |

Peach: Final Smash
Peach Blossom Somehow, Princess Peach always seems to go at her own pace. Her Final Smash will lure you into her world.  She’s got the Smash Ball and she’s ready!  Wh-what is this screen frame?!  Peach dances. Mario suddenly gets sleepy.  And finally, a plethora of peaches! The closer you are to Peach, the deeper you sleep. And all around you is a mountain of peaches that replenish your health when you eat them.  Are you just going to eat peaches?!  Or are you going to launch your foes?! The flowers bloom. The peaches pour down. Yes. It’s all so elegant. |

PictoChat
There are only a few nonsense stages in the only "slightly" nonsensical Smash Bros. series. But there is no stage more nonsensical than this one.
PictoChat?! What is THIS?! It’s a fun little sketch-and-chat application with wireless functionality that’s built into the Nintendo DS!  And if you turn it into a stage, it looks like this! BAM!  At first, there’s nothing there. It’s just flat.  If you wait a bit, terrain gets drawn in with a few stylus strokes! Of course, you can climb up on the doodles.  You may get knocked about by side winds.  There may be things you want to ride on moving around.  Hot! HOT! Are these flames?  This looks solid! But it’s also flat?!  Wow! A whale! The doodles that appear will disappear after a while, and then something else will get drawn. Oh, and on this stage, you’ll be able to enjoy the music from the Mii Channel and Wii Shop Channel, too.  Oh! That’s just divine. |

STADIUM: Target Smash!
A target-breaking mode has appeared in every game in the Smash series. It’s a mode that challenges you to break ten targets within a given time limit – basically, a game for those who salivate at the thought of speed runs.
 Break the targets! The mode is set outdoors now, giving it a refreshing visual appearance. This time, there are five different maps of varying difficulty – challenges you can take on with your favourite character.  Each of the five maps is distinctive. Some levels even have items that you may be able to use to cut your time even more. Use all of your character’s skills to beat your own personal records!  This is the pause screen. If you fail, you can pause the game and try again. You can also check out the level layout while paused. There is another announcement I’d like to make simultaneously... This time, you can view replays. What this means is, the game records what you did in brawls or in Target Smash and lets you review it.  About three minutes worth of replay data can be recorded. It’s even possible to send replays of your most amazing times to your Wii Friends! If you compete against each other, things will surely heat up.  Fire it off! It feels great to use all of your knowledge and techniques to shave a hundredth of a second off your time. But you don’t have to do that to enjoy these features, so I hope you’ll give it a try regardless. |

Warning! Challanger Approaching!
 King Dedede  The self-proclaimed king of Dream Land formally joins the brawl! With his newly-mechanised wooden mallet, he delivers a mighty, earth-shaking blow! He joins as a member of the heavyweight class alongside Bowser and Donkey Kong. Can he defeat Kirby?!     |

King Dedede: Special Moves
Up Special Move: Super Dedede Jump  Look! That’s a serious jump!  And he lands HARD! King Dedede’s great jump is his speciality! But he doesn’t have much freedom while jumping, and his vulnerability when he lands is pretty significant. That said, if things look bad, just tap down on the Control Stick.  You can flip over and cancel it in mid-air. However, if you try to cancel just before landing, you’ll make a fool of yourself, and you’ll be vulnerable for even longer, so watch out. Side Special Move: Waddle Dee Toss  Just throw them out there. He pulls out Waddle Dees from who knows where and throws them. The Waddle Dees then waddle around afterwards.  Occasionally a Waddle Doo appears...  ...and Gordo, too. Down Special Move: Jet Hammer This time, King Dedede’s hammer is actually mechanised. The head’s rotation is powered by a motor. And it can do this.  Whoa! What is this?!? If you hold down the Control Stick and the special-move button simultaneously, you can charge up his hammer. And you can unleash it in one blow!  The power of the jet multiplies the destructive force! You can even walk around with it charged up, but you can’t save the charge by pressing the shield button. Also, if you charge it up too much, it will increase your own damage, so be careful. |

The Summit
The summit? The summit of what? If you must know, I suppose it’s the summit of Icicle Mountain. And I guess there are vegetables there after all.
 In other words, it’s an Ice Climber stage. At first glance, it appears to be a normal glacial peak. But after you fight for a while...  A pop! A crack! It’s breaking?!  Th-the terrain is sliding downhill!  It’s finally arrived at the sea. And with a splash, too! Hmm. Talk about hectic. And rumour has it, you can’t get careless once you’ve reached the sea.  The polar bear is pushing the iceberg deeper!  A fish leaps out of the water! I feel like I’ve seen that fish before somewhere... Where could it have been? |

Meta Knight: Final Smash
Galaxia Darkness Heh heh heh. I got it. Meta Knight has got the Smash Ball. Behold!  Take this!  ... He swirls his cape out in a wide sweep, but if he swings and misses, nothing happens. It’s a waste of the Smash Ball. Be sure to hit with that swing of the cape.  This time, behold!  The field is gradually engulfed in darkness.  Toh! The field is swallowed by darkness, and Meta Knight slices strongly through it. Enemies get launched helplessly. Talk about cool. But there is even more coolness to this move.  If there are others besides the enemy you hit with the cape...  ...they get cut in the darkness, too! So, while this move’s initial attack range is relatively narrow, if you hit with it, almost everyone suffers. Aim well and sally forth. |

It's said that for all the new characters, and on the website, they're listed as newcomers, so I thinks it's just their way of announcing the players new to the series.

That date sucks for you guys because it's 2 months longer than you thought it would be but I heard the PAL release date would be about the same time as the US date so I'm just glad we even have a date, even if it is a few days/weeks longer than the US date.

IGN Wii:
October 11, 2007 - After Nintendo's Japan announcement of the delay of Smash Bros. Brawl, American gamers instantly began speculating the meaning of that announcement for the US release of Nintendo's battler. Just moments ago at Nintendo's media summit in San Francisco, CA, vice president of marketing and corporate communications George Harrison has confirmed that the game will be getting a delay in the US as well, hitting stores on Sunday, February 10 of 2008. While this delay is of course disappointing for the hardcore crowd, who have been dead set on getting a taste of Brawl in 2007, Harrison remained extremely optimistic on the subject, mentioning Sonic's involvement in the game, the attempt by Nintendo to reach out to top characters from around the gaming industry, and the mysterious comments Iwata made less than 24 hours ago, stating that Smash would allow gamers to share content with each other both online and off. As expected, there's still more to the Smash story than we know. |

I'm wondering how many people are going to do a Mario vs Sonic brawl. It'll probably be an event match anyway, if they bring event matches back.

STADIUM: Home-Run Contest
What is the Home-Run Contest? It’s a competition to see who can hit Sandbag the farthest in just ten seconds!
 You see Sandbag and a character on the platform. At the start, it’s just you and Sandbag. Then you just beat Sandbag silly, filling up his damage meter.  There’s only a 10-second time limit! Grab the Home-Run Bat on the ground and do a smash attack with it before the time runs out!  THWACK! You launch him!  Fly! Flyyy!  Compete for the longest distance. Flight distances are recorded for each character. Go! Break the record! Set your own!! But this time... there are four differences! 1： The stadium platform is protected by a shield.  Whoa! This nice feature keeps you from falling. If you don’t put some force into it, you won’t break through the shield, so you can pummel Sandbag to your heart’s content. This will surely allow you to string together some new combos. 2： Two players can play together.  Incredible! Two can enjoy it! As a tag team, you can challenge yourselves to set even greater records. You’ll have to work perfectly together, though. 3： Two-player alternating play.  Compete for distance in two matches! It’s just like a real track and field event. You compete to see who can send Sandbag flying the farthest. 4： Online competitions.  You can’t tell from this shot, but this is an online match. This option can be found under With Friends. And it supports both the two-player cooperative and two-player alternating modes. This is some rather rich functionality. This mode alone could take up a lot of your time. Amazing, isn’t it? |
