The Super Smash Bros. Brawl thread. How many more threads will there be! Nobody knows! :o Known Returning Characters: Spoiler: show spoiler hide spoiler *Not listed: Capt. Falcon - Is highly probable, due to his rival being found in an Assist Trophy New Characters Spoiler: show spoiler hide spoiler *Not Listed: Solid Snake - Also shown in previous trailer. Final Smashes Spoiler: show spoiler hide spoiler Mario - Mario Finale Link - Triforce Slash Pikachu - Volt Tackle Samus - Zero Laser Bowser - Giga Bowser Transformation Donkey Kong - Konga Beat Yoshi - Super Dragon Pit - Palutena's Army New Toys Spoiler: show spoiler hide spoiler Crates and Barrels: What better to start with than basics. These item containers have been revamped to support the themes of certain levels. Assist Trophy: This is the Pokeball of the Nintendo Universe. Any kind of cameo you could think of comes from within... Spoiler: show spoiler hide spoiler Known Assist trophies: Hammer Bros. Nintendog Samurai Goroh Dr. Wright Knuckle Joe Devil Andross-retro Lyn Pokeball: An alltime favorite. Which still randomly gives you a poke to cause massive destruction with. Spoiler: show spoiler hide spoiler Chikorita Goldeen Groudon Deoxys Munchlax Gooey Bomb: The Gooey Bomb acts as a sticky Remote Mine. While stuck to a character, it can be passed back after making contact with another player. Cracker Launcher: This projectile launcher isn't as racist as it sounds. It might be more recognizable as a 'Roman Candle'. We saw it briefly in the short clip from Min-E3. Banana Peel: Because Cliche's work. Bumper: A return from the 64, relatable to Melee's Flipper item. A new twist leaves this possible to plant mid-air. Pitfall: The item from Animal Crossing. Surprisingly, it caries its ability from Animal Crossing over very well. Simply making characters fall thru holes or thru platforms. Smoke Ball: An original item, soley based on obscurity. This item deals no damage, but rather actually just blinds the player from the screen. Franklin Badge: Debuting from the Mother Series (Earthbound), this relates to Fox's Reflector, like the Screw Attack Ball relates to Samus' Screw Attack. Basically, it reflects projectiles. Spicy Curry: When a Fire Flower just can't suit your flaming needs.

Rider Pokemon Stadium/Evolution SSBB Theme Song Series Represented: Spoiler: show spoiler hide spoiler So far, we've been given a list of series that have been represented, but as we get this list, its come to us out of order.

Ice Climbers 15. Animal Crossing 16. Wario 17. ??? 18. Kid Icarus *18 Is the highest number we're aware of, it in no way indicates that it is the final number Discussion (Read: Bitchings) Spoiler: show spoiler hide spoiler These are some things to expect in regards to the updates. The type of updated listed, and the expected discussion that can follow. Music update - Next day spent argueing about MIDI files vs Orchestrated. Item update - Someone inevitably pisses off the competitve players with the "Why no items" arguement. Other than that, everyone is generally happy. B Moves update - People are generally meh about this towards returning characters, pretty happy about it towards new characters. Final Smash update - 1 of 2 updates people everyone appreciates. New/Old Character update - Pretty cool to see old characters revamped. Pretty awesome to see brand new characters. Stage update - Next day spent arguing about gimmick levels vs. Battlefield/Final Destination. Tutorial update - Boring tutorials, but spectacular mode discussions. Movie update - Dicks cumming, all of them, simultaneously, with super mushroom power-ups.

Frothing demand, etc. I honestly can't think of another game that has gotten this much renewed attention every single damn day for half a year out from release.

I hate NoE for not getting SSBB to europe before sometime in 2008.

man i will buy a wii in december just for this game

I hate NoE for not getting SSBB to europe before sometime in 2008. That's your punishment for living in Europe.

Smash Bros is a good game. I am excited for it. Spoiler: show spoiler hide spoiler BLUE DOT

Crazy Mario and his crazy F.L.U.D.D.

Frothing demand, etc. I honestly can't think of another game that has gotten this much renewed attention every single damn day for half a year out from release. Also, I still doubt that Sakurai is posting the biggest things SSBB has to offer yet. I'm sure he's planned out what he's going to announce when, and it'll probably be more and more exciting as time goes on, which will cause the huge attention that's already focused on its updates to grow and by the time it'll hit shelves.... That's my prediction anyways.

To continue the discussion from the previous thread: The reason why i would turn off smash balls is simple. Even if they do spawn in a fixed location, you're basically placing an 'I-Win' button on the stage that appears at different intervals. If you happen to be closer when it randomly appears, then I die, or vice versa. Again, it just comes down to the fact that I would rather play my opponent than play the items/stage/pissant luck.

I doubt Smash Balls will be possible to turn off. I suspect that actions in the fight will be what triggers them, perhaps a different action for each character.

10:38 AM: Conference has officially started! Iwata is here along with several other Nintendo big wigs from Japan. The speaker is introducing everyone. Iwata got up and took a bow. Dear lord, let this happen again. Best 2 hours on this forum ever. I think that thread hit a page every 10-20 seconds.

If I wanted a serious match, I'd probably follow suite. But if I'm just dicking around with friends (since, as my friends generally leech off my console so I'm better than them anyway), I usually leave the items on. Though, a lot of them have Wii's this time around, so this may change.

Woo!

Sweet! They changed up my main character. I hoping this FLUDD move is more useful than the tornado. I never used that move other than a small bit of recovery it offered.

So 100 pages in 2 weeks. 12 weeks till release. So we can expect 6 more threads? (@ 100 per) Damn Son. Only if the rate of poast remains constant. Which it almost definitely will not. Yeah I imagine some peaks when major announcements are made. Also, man, just over 12 weeks till release!!! And when we get closer the posting will be more frequent. I mean, the week before? Two weeks? Plus, I'm assuming that that's when they're going to start reeling out the huge super-awesome announcements, so that they can control the hypemobile up to release, to ensure maximum explosions of dicks. We'll be going through a thread a fucking day. It'll be like they just released the Wii. Again. And just imagine what it'll be like when it's actually released. The internet will explode and stay exploded for like, a month at least. Is that because of all the continuous poasting or because everyone normally employed to fix exploded intertubes will be far too busy playing SSB:B?

Is that because of all the continuous poasting or because everyone normally employed to fix exploded intertubes will be far too busy playing SSB:B? Both.

OP is missing a few Pokemon. Chikorita and Goldeen at least.

Sakurai is such a tease, what's the electric version of pokemon stadium like? Spoiler: show spoiler hide spoiler It's shocking

Is there a link to what nintendo said in their press conference?

Is there a link to what nintendo said in their press conference? Damn I guess I was too vague. Read this, starting at around page 40 http://forums.penny-arcade.com/showthread.php?t=6728

Viewtiful Joe should be in this game.

It was like a million intertubes crying out in unison, then suddenly silenced. The internet? I'm more worried about the entire world falling apart. No one to take the trash away, or police the streets, or clean our water. All too busy playing Smash. We'll be in Mad Max mode within a few years.
