The Super Smash Bros. Brawl thread.
How many more threads will there be! Nobody knows!
Last Update:



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

Mr. Resetti

Pokeball: An alltime favorite. Which still randomly gives you a poke to cause massive destruction with.

Chikorita

Goldeen

Groudon

Deoxys

Munchlax

Piplup

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.


Golden Hammer: A coat of paint works wonders.

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.

Earthworm Jim.
You all can keep your Belmonts and Sonics. Give me my goofy earthworm in a suit.
Just as long as he doesn't bring any crappy Clayfighter characters with him, I totally agree.

I'm liking almost everything else, especialy the MGS music
You crazy.

You, obviously, aren't human.
I love the beginning, but the reaper part kinda sucks.

There are probably all kinds of size disparities, but I'm ok with that.
Snake seems to be very "what have I gotten myself into" in that crowd.
And if I'm not mistaken it is MIDI.
And without a music update.
Pretty sure thats got nothing to do with anything.
And if you missed it, Music has nothing to do with specific levels anymore. As every level has its own list of custom music tracks to pick from.

The last update was Snake, Special Moves AND a music update.
Much as I love the music in Smash Brothers, it's always fun to listen to something outside.
I just threw it out there because I prefer orchistrated music over MIDI, don't get me wrong though, I love the music in Doom, It's just i think orchastrated music is better for super smash bros games.
And that MyMusic thing sounds cool.
Yeah two days ago.
It sounds like midi because they are trying to recreate the feel of the original 8-bit tunes
I never asked for this!
I have no doubt that this song will be in smash bros, it will probally sound different though.
Nothing beats the original smb2 music on that level.

You mean bloody Rawk Hawk or O'Chunks right? Yeah though, I hope they have something from those games.
But it was the most recent update.
Snake should know better.
@Bryceforvice on Twitter Facebook
I'd want them instead of watt or goombella
Snake choking a squirtle will look hilarious.
