Thread Rules
- Stay civil and don't be a jerk. Flinging insults around can get you banned, and if the entire thread spins out of control, it could get closed down for good.
- Stay on topic. While it's okay to make random predictions of what you hope to see in Brawl, do not go too far off track while discussing other series or characters. If the thread goes too far off-topic, it could get closed down for good.
- Do not make posts that simply say "blue dot" to mark this thread. Be constructive in your posts or you could get infracted.

New ItemsCrates and Barrels - They are now themed to fit the level style: normal, festive or futuristic. There are also rolling crates that slide hazardly, and explosive crates and barrels are marked as such.
Assist Trophy: This item is similar to be Pokéball but instead produces various video game characters. These are not in any way playable characters.

Dr. Wright
Knuckle Joe
Devil
Andross

Poké Ball: An all-time favorite item which gives you a random Pokémon ranging from the earliest to latest games.
Known Pokémon:
Groudon
Deoxys
Munchlax
Piplup
Meowth
Bonsly
Known returning Pokémon: Bellossom, Celebi, Chikorita, Electrode, Entei, Goldeen, Ho-Oh, Lugia, Mew, Snorlax, Staryu, Suicune, Togepi, Wobbuffet
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 shoots out rapid-fire blasts and can be aimed up and down while running.
Banana Peel: Because clichés work. This item doesn't do much other than tripping an opponent.
Bumper: A returning item from the original Super Smash Brothers, this time around it can be placed in midair.
Pitfall: The item comes from Animal Crossing and retains its effect from there. It can trap opponents in the ground or drop them through a platform.
Smoke Ball: This item deals no damage, but rather actually just blinds the player from the screen. It shoots out rainbow-colored gas.
Franklin Badge: Debuting from the Mother Series (Earthbound), it attaches to a player's chest and is basically an automatic reflector.
Spicy Curry: When a Fire Flower just can't suit your flaming needs, eating this will make your player constantly spew out flames.
Golden Hammer: A coat of paint works wonders, this hammer is flung around at crazy speeds and can let you hover. Occassionally it is a worthless squeaky hammer.
Smart Bomb: From the Starfox series, this bomb creates a massive explosion when thrown.
Team Healer: Only appearing in Team Battles, this item has to be picked up and thrown at your teammate to heal him, and can be intercepted.
Confirmed returning items: Beam Sword, Bob-omb, Bumper, Bunny Hood, Fan, Fire Flower, Food, Freezie, Green Shell, Hammer, Heart Container, Home-Run Bat, Lip's Stick, Maxim Tomato, Motion-Sensor Bomb, Mr. Saturn, Party Ball, Poison Mushroom, Poké Ball, Ray Gun, Screw Attack, Starman, Super Mushroom, Super Scope, Warp Star

Series RepresentedSo 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. We currently have gaps as shown:
1. Smash Brothers
2. Donkey Kong
3. StarFox
4. Kirby
5. F-Zero
6. Metroid
7. EarthBound/Mother
8. Pokemon
9. Zelda
10. Mario
11. Yoshi
12. Fire Emblem
13. ???
14. Ice Climbers
15. Animal Crossing
16. Wario
17. Metal Gear
18. Kid Icarus
19. ???
20. Sonic the Hedgehog
21. Nintendo DS
*21 Is the highest number we're aware of, it in no way indicates that it is the final number
It seems that icons at least require a stage to exist, so just because an icon is out there doesn't nessecarily mean there's going to be a character featuring it.

This section of the opening post will be dedicated to any forumer contributions made to this thread by way of creating something that will be helpful for organizing online play, the setup thereof, or sharing pertinent information such as user names and friend codes. In addition to this, there is now a portion explaining more advanced Smash terminology as well.
The Penny Arcade Super Smash Brothers Brawl Online Tournament List!
This is all organized courtesy of Nickle. It is planned to take place a week or two after the game comes out so people have a chance to practice. There are still plenty of spots available here if you want to sign up.
Here is the tournament list, which is more of a placeholder than anything else. People will have to reconfirm their desire to take part in the tournament when it arrives.

Smash Brothers Community Terminology
This is a very thorough look at advanced Smash terms to help end confusion about them. ChopperDave wrote it and has this to say:
Here is something that could be considered Part 3 of the Smash Bros Terminology. It goes over common misconceptions about tournament players and seeks to help end the SmashBoards versus casual play arguments which always seem to pop up in these threads. Everyone should take a look at these discussions:
-More talk about the competitive community by Chopper Dave
-Joshua368 which stages are banned in tournament play ... and explains why

This is a really cool page designed by mntorankusu, based around the Stage Creator update on the dojo. Here are some instructions and information.
Click here to play it. Here is an example of what you can do.
Customizable signatures that display user names and friend codes.
Here is something that mntorankusu and Geod have been working on, which will allow people to easily put their favorite character and friend code in a fancy signature to help organize things once the game comes out. It allows you to choose your name, character, icon, friend code, and color of character. This is what they look like:

If I missed it in the last thread...apologies.
Because Sakurai is making sure they really did think of everything.
Um.
We haven't speculated because the CDs were in an update a while back. The rarity wasn't discussed, but that's basically what they are, they allow you to add music to choose from when playing on a stage. So a stage starts with a 100% chance to play one song, but you pick up a CD for that stage, and you can adjust the % chance that one song or another will be chosen on that stage.
edit: Oh, and also, Mario Kart stage for tonight. For Hate's sake, I spit at thee!
That leaves you with four for now. Don't drop the ball on this one, Newbie.
And yeah, we need Porygon to return. (Perhaps as Porygon-Z? It seems only appropriate.)
A guy can dream can't he?
Technically, the stage the CD is on doesn't matter, since ANY song can be played on ANY stage. If I had to guess, the track unlocked is completely random.
I'd like to see Rosalina as a playable character.
B - Fires a quick burst of Star Bits that can stun other players temporarily. Chargeable to fire more Star Bits.
Forward B - Throws a Luma at an enemy that does minimal damage, but can be fed with a charged star bit attack to turn it into a star that rolls off the stage setting people on fire.
Down B - Luma assisted spin attack.
Up B - A Luma turns into a launch star to give her some vertical recovery.
I'm not so sure about that, dude. The My Music update only talks about songs as pertaining to each universe. Also there's the fact that every screenshot of My Music selections has music from the same game series for a particular stage.
Or she can stand in one place while you do all the work like she did in Galaxy. Rosalina is just Peach with an emo-ish haircut and a dead mother. I'd much rather see a good character added in.

Come on, what do you expect? Not only is an individual pokemon hardly worth the effort of making a high-quality model, but that would just impact performance for an improvement that no one is ever going to notice in-game.
It's about to 100 pages, where it will be locked.

It wouldn't kill them to make better ones for promo shots though. Sometimes I like to be lied to.
Good to know you read the rules.

If you don't set any song to be more likely than another song on any stage, isn't every song equally likely to appear?
That is, if everything is just set to "random," that doesn't mean that the Mario theme will be playing on a Zelda stage, just that any Mario song is as likely to appear on a Mario stage as any Zelda song is to appear on a Zelda stage.
I just think you're pulling a lot from that quote, and I think the screenshots would indicate that you could play Live and Learn or whatever on an Ice Climbers stage if you could.
FIGHTERS: 22 (counting Samus and ZSS as one)
POKEMON: 17
ASSIST TROPHIES: 11
STAGES: 18
ITEMS: 23 (Smash ball, crate, barrel, party ball, gooey bomb, cracker launcher, banana peel, bumper, pitfall, smoke ball, franklin badge, curry, hammer, golden hammer, smart bomb, beam sword, home run bat, fire flower, freezie, mushroom, stopwatch, bob-omb, green shell)
Yeah, I agree. It definitely looks like there are themed songs dedicated to levels of the same theme. I just assumed that you can make every Mario song equally likely to appear whenever you hit up Peach's Castle or whatever.
Dealing with a ginormous song list for every level would be such a hassle.
Also, what did you think happened to the other fifty* Smash threads then?
*I don't even know if this is an exaggeration or not any more. Which is a little worrying....

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.
Anyway, I predict the next update will be an assist trophy. That or GOB as a playable character.
Only if it does Hyper Beam. I know Deoxys does it but damn Porygon z and hyper Beam were made for eachother.
Its just wrong.
