The Super Smash Bros. Brawl thread.How many more threads will there be! Nobody knows! Known Returning Characters:
New Characters
Final Smashes
New Toys
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...
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.
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.

Discussion (Read: Bitchings)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.

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.
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.
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.
Your tears only make me stronger.
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.
It was like a million intertubes crying out in unison, then suddenly silenced.
Damn I guess I was too vague.
Read this, starting at around page 40

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.
It's kind of sad, he already has two games, I was actually expecting him to be playable.
At the very least he should be an assist. He's too big a character not to be.
Edit: Top page, sweet.
No, that can't be right; everyone will still be Smashing...I'd give it a decade or two....

But thinking about it now, it really wouldn't be fair at all

In fact, 40 million seems like a low estimate.
Nintendo's first billion-seller?
That's only one copy for every 6 people on the planet. It seems reasonable.
Hell, throw em in different colored cases, and the game will sell a few hundred million in Japan alone.
Are there any other series that we know are going to be included? Ice Climbers and Game and Watch are the only two from Melee that we're missing, but neither of those characters have been confirmed.

I'm still hoping for something from Punch-Out and Pikmin.

Plus, just because the largest numbered image is 18 doesn't mean that there are only 18 serieses; it could just as easily be a nice round 20.
Well, if I'm not mistaken, that 18 number was worked out by someone looking at the site code or whatever, right?
Now, what if there are unlockables that are not from any already announced (or going-to-be-announced) series. They wouldn't be on the site (because that'd spoil the 'unlockable' surprise) and so there wouldn't be any code for them or something, right?
So, you know, it might be more than 18.
Or something.
There's already a Wii game in the works, anyway.
Plus, he'd be awesome, and different enough from the rest of the cast.
That's why he said "if we assume there are only the 18 series represented."

Yeah I was just trying to figure out what is the maximum number of surprises we can expect. It sounds like there's at least two - unless it's Ice Climbers and G&W. So we actually know nothing at all.
It's interesting we haven't seen Snake's icon yet though. It leaves the possibility that we won't have MGS as a stand-alone series placeholder, but a single icon/series covering all of the "NOTendo" content.
I'm still holding out for the wrench though. Please include some Advance Wars COs. That will make me so happy.
Actually, we have seen Snake's/MGS's logo: The Kojima FOX logo. It was on the old website for Snake's profile before it went into it's blog format.

Well shit. So much for that idea.
