Zero Suit Samus: Special Moves


<Standard Special Move: Paralyzer>
http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/5391/50842328aq2.jpg
Bzzzzzzzzzzt! I can’t get enough of this.

A personal protection device, the paralyzer stuns opponents. If you can charge it up for a bit, you can land additional attacks while your opponent is stunned.



http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/7383/58530804mp9.jpg
A down smash will fire it at your feet!

But this is only self-defense at best. It does not have the power of an explosive attack. Where and when you use this is key.

What really brings out some characteristic Samus skills is when this gun transforms and releases a whip: the Plasma Whip.


<Side Special Move: Plasma Whip>
http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/6538/21059764tm4.jpg
The flash at the tip of this short whip is quite powerful!

<Up Special: Plasma Wire>
http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/560/31665026jn0.jpg
Shoot it straight up to pull enemies toward you!

These two moves can be used to grab and hang from an edge. They can reach even if the ledge is pretty far away, so pay close attention to distance and timing and aim to dangle from the edge.


http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/4308/28083796wy9.jpg
Pzzzzt! What a magnificent edge grab!

Nice, looks like she is going to be a lot of fun to play.

Ill have the update up when I get home from school. Im too tired to do it know. Basically it just Kirbys final smash.

I hope thay do Zero Suit Samus like they did Sheik and have her switch between Samus and Zero Suit Samus.

Here ya go:

<Cook Kirby>

Kirby is quite the glutton. He apparently even does his own cooking.

Welcome to Kirby’s cooking class!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/kirby/kirby_071009a-l.jpg

The cook puts on his hat!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/kirby/kirby_071009b-l.jpg

He takes out a giant pot!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/kirby/kirby_071009c-l.jpg

Dinner’s ready! He rings his bell.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/kirby/kirby_071009d-l.jpg

He tosses his enemies into the pot...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/kirby/kirby_071009e-l.jpg

Simmers them gently and deliberately...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/kirby/kirby_071009f.jpg

OK! Order up!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/kirby/kirby_071009g-l.jpg

Once you take out the stock, your enemy gets blasted off.

But is that a real dish? Something like stone soup, maybe? Can you put just anything in there? Are you sure?

Nice! In melee Kirby was one of my favorites, so this is going to be fun to use.

Ya...It's looking like all the Final Smashes are gonna be good! I hope you don't mind my posting the article, Mikey?

hey you forgot to put the music. Anyway I want to see snakes final smash

@ploogle....I dont mind at all. I was happy to know I didnt have to do it.

@SWSilentkiller.....I dont think you can put the music in here and yeah Snakes final is goona be great. He'll probably bring in a Metal Gear and start slaughtering people.

here's hoping to that being Snakes final smash

Today was a huge update. Ill will be posting it when I get home. But this is whta it is

Sonic Confirmed!
2 new trailers!
And sadly Brawl is delayed :(

What made you say Brawl is delayed I just checked the site. But yes sonic is finally announced as a playable character. Oh wait your right it has been delayed. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/3145/sonicug5.jpg

The one whose Smash appearance has been most desired dashes in from far away at supersonic speed.

Sonic the Hedgehog crashes headlong into battle!

There is also some new trailers, go to the main site to watch them.
www.smashbros.com

When I first heard the news I was like, "ok" Then I saw him in action and I must say I'm pretty pumped. He looks like a lot of fun to play.

yeah I'll play him just to see how he is however I don't think he will become my main

yeah I'll play him just to see how he is however I don't think he will become my main

ya, same here. Ill play him, but he probably wont be my main.

My main in Melee was Ness, and I hate the new guy Lucas. He's basiclly Ness with a different hair style and less badass.

I posted this in the other active SSBB thread too, so yeah I know it's a dupe post, but it seems relevant enough.

Sorry guys...

Super Smash Bros. Brawl Delayed To 2008 In US

George Harrison opened Nintendo's media event in San Francisco today with confirmation on the new release date for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, recently delayed for Japan. According to George, the new North American ship date for the Wii brawler is now February 10, 2008. George put a positive spin on the post holiday bump, simply saying the developers needed more time. I'll be playing it in just a few minutes, so expect first hands-on impressions soon.

For real? THATS G*Y!

X-mas is ruined now!!!

For real? THATS G*Y! Like me.

Please refrain from using hurtful or potentially offensive terms and I'll refrain from editing your posts to make them refer to you.

The original Sonic the Hedgehog game used only one button. I think its simple yet exhilarating play was its virtue.

And given that this game’s controls are also simple, I think it personifies his distinct characteristics.

<Side Special Move: Spin Dash>
http://img3.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/6d9afe3f62.jpg



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.

http://img3.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/45614d6623.jpg
Spin Dash, jump. A two-hit combo.

http://img3.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/b0f05546d8.jpg
Then keep pursuing with a midair attack!

http://img3.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/f6d5a0b644.jpg
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—there’s no pop.

http://img3.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/dd40eeb18f.jpg
KEEEEEEEEEE!



<Up Special Move: Spring Jump>

And his up special move is the Spring Jump. That spring launches you wayyy up in the air.

http://img3.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/6ba5cd6d43.jpg
That’s high!

You might not use it on the ground much, but rumor has it that if you do, the spring that remains can be used by other characters.


http://img3.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/364dd29b59.jpg
Ah! It’s true.

Look guys we have waited years for this game, If I have to wait another 2 months then it's just fine with me

Gragh. This'll be kinda nice, but frustrating. My birthday's the 19th, so that'll be pretty soon before my b-day.

They made up for the delay with gameplay footage, though.

yeah but the funny thing here is the first release date Dec. 3 was the day before my birthday. So lucky you ploogle

:P

I wouldn't call any of us "lucky" right now.

Personally I don't care on an emotional level seeing as I do not have a Wii as of yet. But my friend has been waiting for this game for ages and the delay has crushed his heart.

At first I was pretty bummed. Then I thought about how Nintendo doesn't like to released a game until it's fully ready and have to thank them for caring that much about releasing a great game. Not many companies do that.

I can't wait until they're ready to do online gaming... because apparently that's not ready either... :eek:

Rothbart, there's an online mode in Brawl. Granted, it sucks.

at least they have it, thats a HUGE step for Nintendo.

Can't argue with that.

Anyone care to tell me how many posts I need to get the "Progress 33%" bar?
Edit: I guess it's 165.

Wait... there is? I could be mistaken, but I thought you meant "there will be... in 2008" ;)

Edit: I guess it's 165.

Which would point to 500 posts for "the whole package".

You get banned from the forums... or else nothing... one of those two, I'm pretty sure. :D

...then why post on the forums at all?

I guess I wont post anymore when I get to 499.

...then why post on the forums at all?

I wasn't aware the hidden packages were people's motivation for posting... :)

Actually, to be honest, I'm not sure what happens when you get past 500 posts.

The scale of this stage is one of the grandest in the Smash Bros series. The scale is, say, about as same as that Temple stage—you know the one I’m talking about?

It’s New Pork City.

It is a city of chaos.

http://img49.imageshack.us/img49/2224/46981989ko4.jpg
It’s too detailed to fully understand...

http://img49.imageshack.us/img49/2236/41297965tw5.jpg
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.

http://img49.imageshack.us/img49/854/49220799de8.jpg
There’s quite a lot of freedom.

Also, a monster known as the "Ultimate Chimera" appears on this stage.

http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/6673/13779496cu1.jpg
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.

http://img49.imageshack.us/img49/4728/32881217yp9.jpg
I’m no maaaaaaaatch...

...the heck? That's a really random stage...

I hope they bring back Hyrule Temple, or at least a remake of it.

Believe it or not, I'm very motivated to get a higher percentage on the "Hidden Packages." :p

So am I, cant you tell :D Ive only been here for maybe a little over a month and I have the highest post count excluding admins :D lol, Im actually catching up to Volkov, and I try not to make meaningless posts.

lol anyway is New Pork city from Mother 3?

Yeah it is.

I wonder if we are going to get Mother 3 anytime soon. I mean come on they keep hinting at it with Lucas and New pork city in SSBB.

10-16-07

Didnt have time to post the pictures sorry. But there are the words.



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!

Before time runs out, grab the Home-Run Bat on the ground and do a smash attack with it!



PWANG! You launch him!



Fly! Flyyy!



Compete for 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. Surely this will allow you to string together 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!

Ah, competition—that’s what the Stadium is all about. Players compete to see who can hit 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. You’ll be able to play just this mode quite a bit. Amazing, isn’t it?

co-op, and online co-op Home run mode? thats just crazy

10-17-07



Meowth
Meowth. It’s considered a major Pokémon, but it did not show up in 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 it’s getting any coins out of it.



It doesn’t appear to be throwing 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...





PART 2

How to use the Wii Remote

Believe it or not, but you can use four controller types with this game! But everyone seems to wonder the most about 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 run and press down for a short time to fall through some floors.



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 any direction on the +Control Pad and the 2 Button 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.

On October 18 at the E for All (Entertainment For All Expo) in Los Angeles, people will be able to play Brawl. And (perhaps boldly), it will be available for play with the Wii Remote. Is that really going to be OK?

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?

...not that big of update today

I'm a tiny bit interested in trying to play with the Wiimote. I just don't like the idea of having to use the minus button to grab in the middle of a heated battle. That's a tiny button way out in the middle of the controller. I know you can use B and the 2 button to grab as well but the B button worries me a bit too.

I will give it a shot for sure. I'm curious what people think of playing it that way at E for All this weekend. I look forward to hearing about it.

Oh, not to steal anyone's thunder but LITTLE MAC from Punch Out is in Brawl!

^^ You Stole My Thunder!! NOOO lol.

10-18-07 Sorry Im to lazy to do pics

Once there was a legendary man. He knocked heavyweight boxers many times his own size to the mat en route to a W.V.B.A. title.

Little Mac appears from Punch Out!



I can do it! I’m the one!



... But isn’t he a little small?

Don’t take him too lightly just because he’s small. There’s an authentic fighter in him.



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.

it would be awsome if he was a character instead of an assist trophy. Oh well it's still awsome

Yeah, I thought he was a playable character at first too. Give me Little Mac to play!

lol. GIVE ME VIEWTIFUL JOE!!!

there was a playable demo at E on the 17th(?), if you look on youtube, you can find a bunch of videos of it, and it looks so awesome, too bad we have to wait till febuary to play it. but if nintendo needs a few more months to perfect this game then so be it...

i hope mewtwo is back in SSBB, he damn well better be >:D

MAN. The next thing Nintendo announces had better be the online headset. :p

lol

Whoa, today's update took me by surprise: a stage based on Pictochat.

I don't know about you all, but I think it seems a lot like the WarioWare stage.

Yeah it does. Its pretty cool looking though. Do you think that someone can get a DS, and actually draw the stage themselves though?

that would be wierd, I don't think it would work so well because then the person drawing might be an ass and just kill everybody. Anyway a stage based on Pictochat is an interesting surprise.

I think it would be cool.

Sorry people, Im way behond on this thread. I try and start posting more.

A true Megaton

Stage Creator

You can create your own stages this time?! No way. REALLY?! With a feature like that, won’t I be able to play this game forever?!

http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/4418/55272374ko0.jpg
Apparently it’s true...!!!


Those who enjoy a little effort may be able to enjoy this stage builder for the rest of their lives.

http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/6288/91502140rk7.jpg
First, start from the initialize setting.



You start by choosing the size of the stage, the background pattern, and the music that will play. Oops! Sorry. For music, you’ll only be able to choose from the songs you have available.

http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/3580/97951571eh9.jpg
This is the edit screen!

Basically, you choose parts from the palette on the side and place them in the field.

The controls vary by controller, but each one can do the following:

Flip parts left to right
Enlarge or shrink parts
Zoom in or out on the screen
Swap palettes
Erase
...Among other things.



http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/4223/72000313mh9.jpg
Just place terrain however you like. Chuckity-chuckity-CHUCK!


http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/7397/92759667gf3.jpg
Then try it out!

Modify it and try it... Repeat as necessary. Make your own ideal stage!


http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/9720/55648528cy5.jpg
Mmm... That’s amazing.


http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/474/99060172cj0.jpg
And you can save a name and a comment for the stage.

You can change the music on the save screen. Choose something that matches the mood of your stage.

And I’m happy that this is compatible with SD cards. You don’t have to worry about size, so make as many stages as you like.

Also, if you’ve finished registering someone as both a Wii Friend and a Smash friend, you’ll be able to send custom stages to each other.

Now, for those who hate putting effort into such things, we’ve also prepared something you can enjoy as well.


http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/8058/31344466fl7.jpg
"Submit" ...?

That’s right! You can use your Wi-Fi connection to send stages you’ve made to Nintendo! (However, you can’t submit repeatedly. Maybe just once per day?)

And a stage selected from the entire daily collection will be sent from Nintendo to your Wii. A stage made by someone else will come to you over the Internet once per day!

DUN DUN DUNNNNNN! That’s the shocking truth. This means you’ll be able to experience a new stage every day—the flavor of the day, if you will. However, the plan is for that stage to vanish once one day has passed. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime encounter.

You can submit in both the Snapshots mode and the Stage Builder mode, allowing everyone to enjoy the creations of others. The fun of sharing is one of the ways that I wanted to take advantage of Wi-Fi for something other than pure battling.


http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/1403/47735889mp7.jpg
Today’s stage has lots of traps...

This is our ideal current plan. We still don’t know the exact service period. And future tuning may result in changes to the spec.

But for now, please look forward to it!

My God, this is the first time I've actually been excited about an in-game editor.

I'll draw up plans immediately for the most awesomenest stage that ever was awesome!

Do we know if we can insert our own mp3's for BGM to our stages? Or do we have to use music right from the Brawl disc?

im not sure, but it would be too awesome if we could insert our own music. Dont get your hopes up, but who knows they just keep surprising me with this game.

I would want to play out a fight with Mario vs. Sonic or Snake vs. Samus to Breaking Benjamin's Polyamorous.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AXD-Nr2oFE

That would be an epic fight for sure. So if I understood the update right, you can take building tools that are charcter related and put them in the stage right?

Ex: A mario stage with DK elements.....I think that is possible, but im not sure.

THUD....Sorry I just had to pick my jaw up off the ground. Man, this just keeps getting better and better!

Yeah, seriously unbelievable.

man it's like they are throwing everything and the kitchen sink in this game, the only thing that can make this game perfect is if they add viewtiful joe to it. This game is alreayd a must buy, I just wonder what else they can put in hear?

Classis Mode Returns....


Basically the same

yeah it wouldn't be smash bros. without classic mode

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.

http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/1474/38564876vo4.jpg
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...


http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/2452/30665705tb2.jpg
A pop! A crack! It’s breaking?!

http://img105.imageshack.us/img105/4162/27528736rb4.jpg
It’s finally arrived at the sea. And with a splash, too!

Hmm. Talk about hectic. And rumor has it, you can’t get careless once you’ve reached the sea.

I feel like I’ve seen that fish before somewhere... Where could it have been?

**Bigger Pictures So You Can See The Stage Detail Better**

you know the stage looks pretty good, and it could be interesting

Awesome!

Looks cool...damn it! That pun was not intended!

lol nice

Ninja Is In Brawl!!!!!

As an assist trophy :(

I've really started to doubt that Simon Belmont (or any Belmont) will be in the game as playable. :(

I guess then you would have to get Dracula in too and he might not be too good on the sunny levels. :rolleyes:

Would be nice if there was at least one assist trophy from Castlevania though.

Oh man i cant wait for this game to come out and this thread makes it so much harder to wait, i preordered it before they moved the release date back. Oh the agony!

That'll teach you to preorder. I just feel sorry for the poor soul who preordered Spore in '06. XD.

I wonder if there are ay preorder goodies you get for preordering SSBB. mabye there will be some later

Is it just me or are all these updates on the smash bros site crap :D

Some of them are bad, I only post the good ones on here. It's to be expected though.

yeah to be honest the ones sakurai has been showing lately are, how shall I put it, not good. I wish he would show us a new character or a new stage that is completely unexpected

GALAXY STAGE ANNOUNCED!!!! :eek:

NOT :(

I wish

Looks like no one's posting the updates...here you go: (Screenshots, formatting removed)

Three Different Taunts

If you want to show your opponent a little flair, you can do moves unrelated to battle—it’s called taunting. You do it with the +Control Pad, except when using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk.

This time, you do one of three different taunts, depending on the direction you press the +Control Pad!

Link:
-Up taunt: He twirls his sword twice and sheaths it.
-Side taunt: Oh. A fairy.
-Down taunt: Is this his mysterious pose from the Nintendo 64 version?!

There are a variety of patterns for you to enjoy.

Mario takes off his hat and spins around whimsically.

Samus(Zero Suit) curls herself in some sort of new stretch.

Fox gives a shout on the spot.

Wario gives a three-fingered "W" salute.

Ike thrusts his sword in the ground and crosses his arms.

Sonic spins his feet and says "Too slow..."

Snake...hides under a box...

With Wii Remote + Nunchuk control, taunts are handled with the 1 Button (up taunt), the 2 Button (down taunt) and the 1 and 2 Buttons simultaneously (side taunt).

Oh, and a short message can be assigned to each taunt direction.

Handicap

Be kind to beginners! If all you do in brawls is beat up people who don’t know left from right, they’ll never understand the rules of the game, right?

So until now, I’ve always made sure to include handicaps in each game in the series.

But, I began to think that there isn’t much thrill in just making yourself weaker, so I changed the system.

You start with your initial damage meter boosted, even when you reappear.

The strength of each character doesn’t change, so then you can show your skills to your opponent!

Also, you can use this not only for handicapping, but also for starting all players at the same damage—it’ll give you matches with a slightly different feel.

Now, I’ve also kept the auto-handicap feature. This gradually increases the starting damage for the winner of the match.

Choose the Auto setting from the same option.

And today...Meta Knight's moves in a bit more detail. He looks awesome.

I only post the important ones...

I hope friday's is good

Spectator


Even among Smash players, there are some people who just aren’t that good at action games. With that in mind, I’ve been thinking about how I can convey the fun of Smash to newcomers. I’ve been thinking about this type of thing since long before I joined this industry.

So, for this game, I’ve prepared a new kind of mode. It’s called Spectator, and you’ll find it in the With Anyone menu. If I had to describe it in a word, it’s "watching!"

http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/1922/17087374lh0.jpg


You can enjoy watching matches between other people!

This mode is a service where Nintendo uses Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to send the data for games played between other people to every Smash household.

Match selection is handled automatically, and absolutely no names of any players can be seen. It feels like there’s a continuous broadcast of matches on your television! Even if you don’t play, you can enjoy the battles of other characters!

And at the beginning of each match, you can even bet coins on the character you think will win.

http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/7052/93908249mh5.jpg

I’ll bet some coins. I’ve got a winner!

Glean what hints you can from the stages and combatants and try to deduce the winner.

Of course, if your pick wins, your coin count will increase! And the more players in a match, the higher the payout. There may even be extra prizes.

http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/1604/98480854ej4.jpg

Even if you lose, you can get some stickers.

Just to make sure there’s no mistaking that just watching a match can be fun, we’ll be passing out stickers left and right.

For those of you who want to cooperate with our data collection for Spectator mode, set Allow Spectators to Yes in your Wi-Fi Options. This will result in your play data occasionally being sent to Nintendo.

http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/3315/28639500zr1.jpg

This setting is in your Wi-Fi Options.

The content that is broadcast is the same for everyone spectating (if your connection timing is the same), so it should be fun to have people in different environments watch and cheer the same match.

To be shocked by impressive play, or to bust a gut laughing at some accident will be quite fun! Perhaps you can use it as reference for your own matches.

Hopefully this mode is something that even people who aren’t good at games can enjoy.

Looks like Online multiplayer may be included then, well lets hope it is anyway.

Guess i heard wrong and online multiplayer has already been announced lol, didnt even think it was going to be wi-fi enabled.

Edit: Oops...

Ploogle, late by 9 hours lol.

Well we still have yet to find out what those coins are for

so basically we will just be able to watch random people play? with no control of who we are watching, hmm?

that would keep things quite fresh if you're just spectating

well you could probably watch friends, and you go learn a couple things from the videos if a pro is playing

Lol. I didn't see your post...

*editing*

lol, i thought it was funny...

Just to summarize this week we had these updates:

-Smart Bomb-This fearsome item practically covers entire stages in a massive, engulfing explosion. It’s best to try to use it in a spot that leaves few places for enemies to flee. Or something like that.

-Costume Colors-This is one of the many joys of Smash. This time, each character has about six different color variations.

-Saki Amamiya (Assist Trophy)-Saki Amamiya appears from Sin & Punishment: Successor to the Earth! This title is currently available via the Virtual Console.

-Charged Special Moves-These moves can be charged up by holding down the special-move button, increasing both speed and power. If you press the button down firmly and then release, you’ll unleash the move at full strength! When you first try out a character you aren’t familiar with, this should be the first thing you try.

-Lucas:Final Smash-Lucas’s Final Smash is PK Starstorm! It’s a move in which he unleashes a rapid barrage of meteorlike PSI power.

BTW, I am predicting a big update on Monday, so be sure to check that out.

do you have an inside tip or something mikey?

Ooh must come here monday. BTW, great job keeping us updated.

Hopefully Mondays update isnt a letdown. I just have a feeling that something big is going to happen on Monday. If not monday, it will happen at one point next week.

Yeah lets hope they come out with a big update soon im starting to get frustrated with all these crappy little updates , Im hoping for a decent new character to be announced soon lol.

To make up for me slacking on the updates, even though they were small, I have decided to do this.

There the videos you have missed on the offcial website if you dont check it.

WOW, now thats an update.:rolleyes:

Nov. 26 Mon. 2007

Controls

If you use the Controls function under Options, you can assign controls to any button configuration you like.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various14/various14_071126a.jpg

First, input a name.

What’s important to know is that button configurations must be tied to a specific name. Once you do that, any time you choose that name afterward, you’ll automatically play with the button settings you chose.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various14/various14_071126b.jpg

One name can handle controls for four controllers.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various14/various14_071126c.jpg

Even a GameCube Controller!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various14/various14_071126d.jpg

Even an NES-style Wii Remote!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various14/various14_071126e.jpg

Even a Classic Controller!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various14/various14_071126f.jpg

Even the Nunchuk!

...Huh? What’s that thing that says "Shake Smash" under Nunchuk?

With this function, you just shake the Wii Remote to do a Smash Attack in the direction you shook it. It’s a little bonus we added.

Also, if you turn Tap Jump off, you can cut the jump function out of the up direction on the Control Stick. This means it’s easier to do an up attack without jumping into the air. Use whichever way you prefer.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various14/various14_071126g.jpg

Then try it out!

Do it to your heart’s content. Try to find the perfect button combination!

But, if you decide to play Smash at a friend’s house, your button configuration naturally won’t be there. And trying to set it up all over again is sort of a pain.

I didn’t miss this detail, though.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various14/various14_071126h.jpg

Press the + Button on the name list to open the menu.

When the menu screen pops up, press and hold both the 1 Button and the 2 Button. After a moment, your name will be saved to the Wii Remote. Of course, you can expect your control settings to carry over along with your name!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various14/various14_071126i.jpg

Button settings are transferred by way of the Wii Remote.

Pack your name into your Wii Remote and transfer it the Wii at your friend’s house. Then choose that name to play with your button configuration.

Wow. I hate to say it, but we really have thought of everything.

That was pretty dissapointing....

they should show snakes (or anyone's) final smash tommorow.

I still think something big is coming this week.

I'm still wanting to know what the coins are used for. It's gotta be more than stickers/trophies. They were hinting at a new way to power up your characters...and I'm guessing the coins have something to do with it.

Yippee. We've got control settings.What a great update.

Actually, I think it's a cool update. I don't know why, I just think it's cool. Nothing that Ign.com didn't tell us already, but it's cool all the same.

well tuesday (today) has 2 updates widescreen support and DK music

Widescreen Support

This title, like most Wii titles, supports widescreen display. In other words, you can enjoy the game with full display across televisions with wider screens, too.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various15/various15_071127a.jpg
This is standard display.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various15/various15_071127b.jpg
This is widescreen display.

The border off the screen that cues a KO is the same for both. Choose the display mode that matches the TV you have at home.

But some people may not know if they have a normal TV or widescreen TV, and may not even know what difficult terminology like 4:3 or 16:9 means. Right? Who knows all that stuff?

So, all you have to do is check the circle that appears in the background on the screen where you choose your display setting.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various15/various15_071127c.jpg
This is the correct standard ratio.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various15/various15_071127d.jpg
This is the correct widescreen ratio.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various15/various15_071127e.jpg

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various15/various15_071127f.jpg
The two shots above... Wrong.

Being able to just look at the image and know if you got your settings right is pretty huge, huh?

Ah, yes. If your television has screen-size settings called Wide and Full, set your TV to Full. If you choose Wide, there is a chance the image may be shifted toward the center of the screen.

(Is this the right way to do it?)

SO MANY PEOPLE TAKING MY JOB!

Im sooo HAPPY!!

These updates are starting to suck, Come on at least show us something we want to see. I know they are doing daily updates to make it look like they care about it not getting released for a while but i dont care..... Widescreen support? I would have thought it was a Must for most new games. Shame they cant show us new gameplay modes, characters or even some really decent stages. Im starting to hate SSBB now :P

Pretty Cool. Ish.

<Wario-Man>

Wario’s Final Smash is Wario-Man!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/wario/wario_071128a.jpg
Eat garlic!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/wario/wario_071128b.jpg
Wario-Man!

Even after becoming Wario-Man, you control him as you normally would. And he doesn’t unleash any overwhelmingly powerful attacks.

But he is able to negate a variety of moves and boasts some rather odd abilities...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/wario/wario_071128c.jpg
Punch to pummelpummelpummelpummel!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/wario/wario_071128d.jpg
It’s a sideways-sliding shoulder tackle!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/wario/wario_071128e.jpg
His midair moves make him fly?!

His special moves are also powered up, but the one thing you can’t do is ride his bike.

Don’t do it.

This may seem like a joke, but you absolutely must not ride it.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/wario/wario_071128f.jpg
Tooooooo faaaaaaaaast!!!

YES! This is an amazing update. It doesn't look like his final smash runs out, either...

...until he dies, that is.

These updates are starting to suck, Come on at least show us something we want to see. I know they are doing daily updates to make it look like they care about it not getting released for a while but i dont care..... Widescreen support? I would have thought it was a Must for most new games. Shame they cant show us new gameplay modes, characters or even some really decent stages. Im starting to hate SSBB now :P

:/

they can't just tell you all the neat things they've packed into SSBB, can't spoil all the surprise. its fine the way it is. they still have a long way to go before it is released so have some patience.

:/

they can't just tell you all the neat things they've packed into SSBB, can't spoil all the surprise. its fine the way it is. they still have a long way to go before it is released so have some patience.

Yeah I agree.

The update today is great.

There bringing back Event Mode. Looks good.

Yeah todays update is actually good news for once, I loved event mode last time so should be even better this time :D

Events

It’s the return of Events! This is a single-player mode in which you battle through predetermined situations.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various16/various16_071129a.jpg
This is the Events selection screen.

Oh! The pictures make it easy to understand.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various16/various16_071129b.jpg
And it has different difficulty settings!

For these, a harder setting is probably more exciting, but you can go ahead and set it however you like.

For example, you’ll find these kinds of situations:

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various16/various16_071129c.jpg
Character: Mario
Bowser and King Dedede battle as a team!
And Mario stands alone against them.

Pink Ball Repulsion
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various16/various16_071129d.jpg
Character: Meta Knight
Kirby must not be allowed on the Battleship Halberd!
Blast Kirby off before the platform lands on the Halberd!

Cleaning House in Skyworld
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various16/various16_071129e.jpg
Character: Pit
Destroy all the terrain in Skyworld!
Wario both gets in the way and helps out?

Sleeping in the Eggs
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various16/various16_071129f.jpg
Character: Yoshi
Using Yoshi’s Egg Lay standard special move,
put both enemies inside eggs simultaneously!

Dark Link Duel
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various16/various16_071129g.jpg
Character: Link
It’s a fated battle with your own shadow.
This is a stamina based match.

High scores are recorded for each challenge at each difficulty level. You don’t just clear these challenges—competing for time will magnify the fun.

Enjoy Smash’s chance meetings between a variety of characters!

I really like the sound of this. It'll make me play characters I wouldn't normally play.

I would quote ento, but that would take up too much space. Awesome.

Okay this is really noobish but who exactly is snake and were did he come form? srry it's probably already in here but to lazy to read it all.

The Snake Games :)

I love todays update. Im really glad they brong back the temple.

Melee Stages

First, take a look...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage18/stage18_071130a.jpg
Could this be...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage18/stage18_071130b.jpg
The Temple!

This is the Temple stage from the last installment, Super Smash Bros. Melee.

I think that based on my updates so far, you probably understand that we’ve created plenty of stages.

But we wanted to do more, so we’ve brought back a number of stages that appeared in the last game.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage18/stage18_071130c.jpg
It’s...big...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage18/stage18_071130d.jpg
It’s perfect for those who like pursuit.

We’ve tried to create an exact replica, but there may be a few areas that differ from the last game. I hope you understand.

In general, the Melee stages have the same background music as in the last game, but we’ve also prepared some tracks like this.

"Zelda II: Adventure of Link: Great Temple/Temple" (0:54)

(And then there's a song, which I bring over.)

Double post. Sorry.

Why was that posted twice?

Why was that posted twice?
It's called "double posting". It's a new feature available on all forum sites worth anything, and everyone who matters has utilized the feature at least once.

That was a seriously amazing update. My friend loves that level, and this is probably a game seller for him.

Go Temple. One of my very favorite maps.

That Temple stage... hated it. My friend always beat me at it.

Lol my friend always beat me too.

That stage is very simple: You just lower them down to that bottom little circle thing and then just grab them and throw them off the edge. Works almost every time.

Friend List

The Wii includes a function called Wii Friends, but you will register a separate list of Smash friends.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi03/wi-fi03_071203a.jpg
That’s your Friend Code in the top right.

Please exchange these numbers with your friends. Write a note, do it over the phone, or send it by e-mail – just share your numbers with each other.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi03/wi-fi03_071203b.jpg
Then input your friend’s Friend Code.

Once you’ve both input your codes, it looks something like this.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi03/wi-fi03_071203c.jpg
Oh! It comes with comments.

You can enter your own icon and comments.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi03/wi-fi03_071203d.jpg
This is where you enter your short taunt messages.

The preparation ends there. After this, you won’t have to do it every time.

So, let’s play a game! In that case, someone has to enter someone else’s game.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi03/wi-fi03_071203e.jpg
The person who will host creates a room.

Everyone can see the status of people on their Friend Roster.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi03/wi-fi03_071203f.jpg
You can see if they’re online or hosting a match.

If you want to play together, just select that person’s name and choose OK!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi03/wi-fi03_071203g.jpg
Join someone who is hosting a match.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi03/wi-fi03_071203h.jpg
Once all participants select OK...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi03/wi-fi03_071203i.jpg
You can play.

Yep. Simple.

Simple is best.

By the way, the circle at the top right of your Friend Roster approximates the connection quality of your last connection. The closer it is to blue, the smoother you’ll be able to play.

Woo Now thats a good update but why cant they just create a new wii channel and make that the friends list. Well at least this is a start.....This may just be the best wii game ever:P

yeah! Online play!

Holy crap. How early do you guys get up to post these updates? Ah well...less work for me! :D

Pretty good update. Too bad we don't have WiFi in our house! I'll have to get a router asap.

Today was the original release date for this. Let's all take a moment in silence.

*Silence*

Returning Pokémon

If you haven’t played the last game or the one before that, you may be left wondering something like, "Why isn’t this Pokémon or that Pokémon in the game?" All I’ve been introducing are the ones new to this game.

So now I’d like to introduce several of the Pokémon that appeared in past installments that will be appearing again in Brawl.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/items/mball/images/mball07/mball07_071204a.jpg
Suicune

Snorlax

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/items/mball/images/mball07/mball07_071204j.jpg
Celebi

The likelihood of mysterious Pokémon appearing is quite low. Mew and Celebi are especially rare, but they may leave you some kind of present.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/items/mball/images/mball07/mball07_071204k.jpg
Mew dropped a CD. Accept it with gratitude!

(A CD? What does that do?)

(I hate double posting)

The Battle for the Smash Ball

A Smash Ball appears! The tension rises. Since it gives you an attack as powerful as the name Final Smash implies, everyone will battle to the death to get it.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/howto/technique/images/technique09/technique09_071205a.jpg
There it is! Get it! Get it!

You can’t get the Smash Ball by simply touching it. You have to bash it and smash it many times until the player who breaks the Smash Ball gets it.

The Smash Ball’s endurance diminishes with each hit and with time.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/howto/technique/images/technique09/technique09_071205b.jpg
How should you pursue it? Even this becomes a battle.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/howto/technique/images/technique09/technique09_071205c.jpg
Yes! I got it!

Once a character gets it and begins glowing on standby, he or she just does a standard special move to unleash the Final Smash. Just press the B Button without any directional input.

It depends on the particular Final Smash, but simply pressing the button at a random time or place might not work to your advantage.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/howto/technique/images/technique09/technique09_071205d.jpg
Some can be dodged fairly well...

So pick a position that your move will strike from. Or create conditions under which you will definitely hit your foes. Do all of this while glowing on standby.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/howto/technique/images/technique09/technique09_071205e.jpg
Now just jump up and fire off that Final Smash!

However, if the character on standby gets hit, he or she may fumble the Smash Ball!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/howto/technique/images/technique09/technique09_071205f.jpg
Even if someone has it,
all it takes is some aggressive offense...!

Do you use it as soon as you get it? Or save it for later? Do you run from an enemy who got it? Or do you chase him? You’ll need instant situational decision-making!

And then there’s an element known as the Pity Final Smash. Once a significant point advantage is reached, the losing player is given a bonus chance. When you get this, you will reappear after a KO in Final Smash standby mode.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/howto/technique/images/technique09/technique09_071205g.jpg
It’s OK to give this out, isn’t it?

Now, if you don’t want to use Final Smashes whatsoever, you can restrict the appearance of this item in the Item Switch. If you just turn Smash Balls off, you’ll be set.

The game-changing Final Smash. Using it is fun. Running from it is fun, too.

Wow. Both updates are awesome. Mainly the second one.

Nice! It's all coming together exactly as I have forseen it. Woohahahahaha

Nice! It's all coming together exactly as I have forseen it. Woohahahahaha

Huh. That's weird...'cause it's coming together better than I foresaw. You must have had REALLY high expectations, then.

Bonsly

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/items/mball/images/mball08/mball08_071210a.jpg

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/items/mball/images/mball08/mball08_071210b.jpg
Bonsly walks around.

Why is this Pokémon named Bonsly? Those familiar with the world of Pokémon understand that while it appears to be a bonsai tree, Bonsly’s body is made up of rocks and stones.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/items/mball/images/mball08/mball08_071210c.jpg
It’s pretty heavy!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/items/mball/images/mball08/mball08_071210d.jpg
When you throw it at someone, it won’t fly far...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/items/mball/images/mball08/mball08_071210e.jpg
But it sure does hurt!

Even if an opponent’s damage meter is below 50%, this thing packs enough power to potentially knock him or her off.

You may only get hit once in a great while, but if you do, watch out!!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/items/mball/images/mball08/mball08_071210f.jpg
Oh, and it’s not like it can’t be reflected.

Hmmm...looks a bit like the homerun bat.

Hmm... the pics aren't showing up on my pc...

Maybe that's because you're using a really crappy comp? Maybe an ooold version of IE, or are you using Opera? Or are you even using a PC? Are you on Safari?

Yeah, what are you using? How's your Internet connection?

I was just using a crappy school comp. It's there now.

Okay, too lazy to post pictures:

Rotation
Game Modes

Picture five or more players huddled around a Wii.

The number of people who can play is limited by the number of controllers that can connect. When that happens, you usually have the people who win or lose rotate out so that everyone gets a turn, right?

So be nice and give everybody a chance to play!

... ...That’s how I feel anyway, but just in case you need a little help being nice (and since everyone has their own controller preferences), I went ahead and rigged up a Rotation mode.

First decide the number of controllers.

Then get a count of people in the room with you
and enter that in.

You can set the rules to rotate out a set number of winners or losers from the brawl. Rotation doesn’t have to be about coming in first place.

If your group is on pretty equal footing with each other, go for Loser Swaps Out. If you’ve got some green players in your midst, why not start out with Winner Swaps Out?

It’s always useful to log your name.

But, hey, if putting in a name is too much of a bother for you, you can play fine without it. Just as long as you remember your guest number, that is.

If a new player happens to come by during a Rotation match, you can add him or her to the group if you’re willing to head back to the name-entry screen.

When your name comes up, hit a confirmation button.

Press a confirmation button on the controller of your choice when your name pops up. That sets the controller you’ll use.

And of course, your control settings will be applied to your control when you play.

Need a bathroom break? Opt to sit out a match!

Even with numerous controllers and dozens of people lined up to play, you’ll be good to go if you use this mode!

... ... Well, not quite.

Rotation is limited to 16 players. Mm hmm.

wouldn't it be sad if the game sucked?
how the hell can you use the wiimote on a game like this?

Don't get me wrong, i'm seriously psyched for this game... but i cant see how individual characters could have special moves with such limited combinations of buttons and movements. I guess it doesn't matter since i'll be picking iy up on the 1st day of release anyway.

wouldn't it be sad if the game sucked?

Yeah the wiimote controls may suck on this but you can use all 3 controllers, personally i think the gamecube controller will be the best method of control for this game. Also i hope they put more characters in then they have so far because they mostly all look crap :P .

Waluigi

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/items/assist/images/assist14/assist14_071214a.jpg
The fact that he’s an Assist Trophy means he won’t be appearing as a playable character, but...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/items/assist/images/assist14/assist14_071214b.jpg
Waluigi appears nonetheless!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/items/assist/images/assist14/assist14_071214c.jpg
He dashes at foes...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/items/assist/images/assist14/assist14_071214d.jpg
He stomps on whoever he currently despises!

Characters that suffer his stomping get embedded in the dirt.

Waluigi keeps on stomping, punishing his foe persistently with successive blows. As should be expected from Waluigi.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/items/assist/images/assist14/assist14_071214e.jpg
He finishes with a mighty kick...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/items/assist/images/assist14/assist14_071214f.jpg
Or his tennis racket!

Never forget to finish off those who are helpless to resist. Such a philosophy should really be expected from Waluigi.

(A little late I know, but ah well. Something news-worthy!)

Hell yes! My favorite character!

Man, I was hoping he'd be an actual playable character...but that's not possible now.

I think a good update for Nintendo to give us would be a list of ALL the veteran characters that are appearing in Brawl. I don't care about being surprised when it comes to old school characters...but please keep the new ones under wraps a bit longer!

WTF? Am I the ONLY one putting out the updates?

Frigate Orpheon

This appears in Metroid Prime. It’s the first spaceship Samus infiltrates.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage20/stage20_071218a.jpg
What you see in the background is the Parasite Queen.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage20/stage20_071218b.jpg
Th-the power went out?!

For a spaceship that just causes trouble, it sure does have a lot of problems.

But what really defines this stage is the way it rotates 180 degrees.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage20/stage20_071218c-l.jpg
The siren scream is a warning!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage20/stage20_071218d.jpg
Suddenly, it flips...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage20/stage20_071218e-l.jpg
The terrain inverts!

When the siren goes off, jump into the air to flee.

But when you’re in a pinch, so is your opponent. Stall your opponent to take advantage!

WTF? Am I the only one caring?

Ploogle you forgot to mention stafy as an AT

Kirby has some old moves. He swallows people, and absorbs their powers! Wow!

Kirby has some old moves. He swallows people, and absorbs their powers! Wow!

kirby is a very versatile character, do not underestimate him, or he'll swallow you up and use your own power against you

Ploogle you forgot to mention stafy as an AT

Dude, if you don't post it yourself, don't complain.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item13/item13_071219a.jpg

This item has absolutely no relevance for those who normally just play free-for-all brawls. But not knowing how to use the item would be problematic, so I’ll just explain it.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item13/item13_071219b.jpg


You might be able to imagine what it is from its name...

Before I get ahead of myself, I must explain that this game features a Team Battle mode.

For example, this function allows people to break into teams of two and do battle when four people are playing.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item13/item13_071219c.jpg

There are three team colours: red, green and blue.

And the Team Healer has absolutely no function if you’re on your own.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item13/item13_071219d.jpg

If you pick it up, you just hold it. It doesn’t do anything.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item13/item13_071219e.jpg

But, if you throw it at your ally...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item13/item13_071219f.jpg

...your ally’s damage meter gets replenished!

The higher your damage meter, the more you recover.

But, if you don’t alert each other, you may not hit your team-mate.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item13/item13_071219g.jpg

And occasionally,
it may cause an opponent to recover damage instead...
(oh yh ive got it right and all the pictures show up ill try to post the updates whenever i can, as long as you guys dont mind:) )

Well, that item is sorta lame.

Let's bring this up-to-date, shall we?

Coin Launcher

In the last game, you plopped the coins you collected into a prize-dispensing machine for a chance to get trophies. That was fine and all, but I got to thinking that there really wasn’t any strategy involved.

So this time, I dropped it. Instead, you’ll be getting your trophies in THIS kind of game!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various20/various20_071227a.jpg
I’m gonna have you play every inch of this game!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various20/various20_071227b.jpg
That option on the right is the entrance to the Coin Launcher.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various20/various20_071227c.jpg
That thing down below is the launcher.

Tilt left and right to change the angle of the launcher and press the button to roll coins out. Basically, the coins themselves are your bullets.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various20/various20_071227d.jpg
Firefirefirefire. FIRE!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various20/various20_071227e.jpg
And you got it!

The trophies move, so shoot, shoot, shoot them before they get away. If you hit a trophy with a few shots, it will be yours.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various20/various20_071227f.jpg
An enemy formation has appeared!

When you defeat formations of smaller enemies, you earn stickers and bonuses. When your green gauge fills up, it becomes possible to shoot coins rapid-fire for a short time.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various20/various20_071227g.jpg
A missile appeared!

Hit the missiles to shoot them down. If a missile strikes, your coin count willdecrease!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various20/various20_071227h.jpg
Whaaaaaaa!

Press the Cancel Button to quit. Then the results of your trophy and sticker shooting will appear.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various20/various20_071227i.jpg
The green ones are trophies. The red ones are stickers.

The more you play the other modes, the more coins you’ll earn for the Coin Launcher. You can even earn them in Spectator mode.

When you want even more coins, inviting friends over is your best option. The more people you play with, the more coins you’ll earn.

Wow....that's pretty neat.

Wow....that's pretty neat.

indeed.

Well, at least they're using the coins.

Dragoon

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item14/item14_071228a.jpg

It is said that if you collect all three parts, you will complete the legendary Air Ride machine...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item14/item14_071228b.jpg

There it is! Dragoon Part A!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item14/item14_071228c1.jpg http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item14/item14_071228c2.jpg
http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item14/item14_071228c3.jpg


It’s broken into three parts:
Dragoon Part A, the nose cone...
Dragoon Part B, the hull...
and Dragoon Part C, the tail.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item14/item14_071228d.jpg

Gather all three and the Dragoon is formed!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item14/item14_071228e.jpg

Target in sight!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item14/item14_071228f.jpg

FIRE!!!

Of course, given the amount of preparation required, it boasts tremendous firepower! If it strikes you, consider it a one-hit KO.

The battle for this item is hot.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/images/item14/item14_071228g.jpg

When you get one of the Dragoon parts, these icons appear!

Hit an opponent who has one of the Dragoon parts to make them drop it. You also drop the parts when you lose a life. If you want to get a part in hand, then beat up your opponent!

The same can be said for Smash Balls – those, too, are items that everyone really wants badly, so the scramble can be quite funny!

The joy of finally getting all three. Your enemies doing whatever they can to flee. It’s like we’ve added a delicious new spice, so I hope you’ll enjoy it during multiplayer matches.

I have a request for the many people who want to play over Wi-Fi! The first time you play the Wi-Fi modes, please be sure to set the Smash Service to ON.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi05/wi-fi05_071228a.jpg

Here in the Options...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi05/wi-fi05_071228b.jpg

...you’ll find "Smash Service".

If you don’t turn this Smash Service on, you won’t receive any data! I ask that you take great care not to forget this step.



Data Sent by Nintendo

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi05/wi-fi05_071228c.jpg

Choose Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

In order to receive data sent by Nintendo, you need to first choose Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection mode.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi05/wi-fi05_071228d.jpg

You connect without incident. When you confirm the message...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi05/wi-fi05_071228e.jpg

..data appears in the applicable mode!

Things that have "Download" written on them were sent by Nintendo.

Now, downloaded data from Nintendo will gradually be overwritten, so there’s no need to worry about your Wii console’s memory running out.



Data Sent by a Friend

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi05/wi-fi05_071228f.jpg

Whoa. A lot of stuff arrived. Nice.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi05/wi-fi05_071228g.jpg

When something arrives, you’ll get a message on your Wii Message Board.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi05/wi-fi05_071228h.jpg

When you start up the game...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi05/wi-fi05_071228i.jpg

...the data will be in its respective places.

Now, since this data comes from your friends, this is where you have to watch your remaining save memory! If the remaining free space on your Wii System Memory is running low, you won’t be able to receive the data. Move old data to an SD card or erase it.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi05/wi-fi05_071228j.jpg

You can also send data to multiple friends at once.

It’s difficult to put the joy of being able to exchange snapshots and stages into words. I certainly hope you will all enjoy it.


(Those pictures better show up that took bloody ages:P)

The Dragoon looks awesome. And you stole my job.

Well, you were absent for a while, and Milla thought he would take over.

My computer broke, and I had to use one at a library. That sucked.

so you're at the library right now?

There will be no more updates until the 7th of january, because update guy is taking a break :)

No. He needs to make up for the crap updates he posted.

You all took my job!!!! Thanks!!! :)

Where the hell were you?

Where the hell were you?

Thats just what i was thinking lol,
i think he was abducted by microsoft.

You all took my job!!!! Thanks!!! :)

I vaguely remember him...

He was the one whose fanboyish talk inspired lono to start up this thread.


Where ya been Mikey?

He got mugged and kidnapped by Sony forces. They put him in an abandoned warehouse somewhere east of Dallas, Texas. He finally escaped by crawling through the sewer pipes 'till he wound up at home.

Melee Stages: Part 2

There was already an entry detailing how we’ve brought back some of the stages from Super Smash Bros. Melee...

So here are some more stages that can also be played in Super Smash Bros. Brawl!

Yoshi’s Island
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage21/stage21_080107a.jpg
The steep slopes on either side are its defining characteristic.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage21/stage21_080107b.jpg
That central platform screams "accident!"

Corneria
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage21/stage21_080107c.jpg
Battle atop the Great Fox!
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage21/stage21_080107d.jpg
Of course, Arwings come flying in, too.

Onett
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage21/stage21_080107e.jpg
The offensive and defensive struggles on the buildings of Onett
return!
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage21/stage21_080107f.jpg
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Watch out for cars.

Brinstar
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage21/stage21_080107g.jpg
It’s the dreaded, legendary ocean of acid!
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage21/stage21_080107h.jpg
The rising and falling ocean of acid changes the field of play greatly.

Rainbow Ride
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage21/stage21_080107i.jpg
Tour the course in this forced scrolling stage.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage21/stage21_080107j.jpg
The boat sinks mid-trip and you embark on a roundabout tour!

This is amazing! Is this a lavish feast or what? I can tell you that for everyone working on this game, the amount of content has been surprising to say the least.

Just wanted to bump this...

is ninedo done announcing secret characters?

STADIUM: Multi-Man Brawl

Dive into a ruthless battle with an army of enemy pawns: the Multi-Man Brawl!

Multi-Man Brawl hosts a wealth of different brawls, including the widely recognized 100-man Brawl.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various21/various21_080108a.jpg
This is the Multi-Man Brawl menu.

Speaking of the Multi-Man Brawl, what could the enemy team of fighters be this time around? It’s the Fighting Alloy Team!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various21/various21_080108b.jpg
Red Alloy! He’s not the leader or anything!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various21/various21_080108c.jpg
Blue Alloy! For some reason she seems kind of gentle.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various21/various21_080108d.jpg
Yellow Alloy! Those horns are scintillating!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various21/various21_080108e.jpg
Green Alloy! It may look like Kirby, but it’s not him!

If it’s a 100-Man Brawl, then you continue fighting until you’ve beaten 100 of them. Destroying so many really cleanses the spirit.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various21/various21_080108f.jpg
Just keep launching them!

This time, we’ve added a much desired mode...

Two-player Multi-Man Brawls!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various21/various21_080108g.jpg
Amazing! Co-op play?!

With two of you watching each other’s backs, it’s that much more fun. But that’s not all!

There’s a mode for playing with a friend over Nintendo WFC!

We’ve included online Team Multi-Man Brawl!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various21/various21_080108h.jpg
This is the With Friends menu.

Don’t you want to cooperate sometimes instead of just fight? That’s what this is for.

That last one is pretty cool, but I don't see why they added Rainbow Cruise back in. That was one of the worst stages in Melee.

That last one is pretty cool, but I don't see why they added Rainbow Cruise back in. That was one of the worst stages in Melee.

Agreed. The multiplayer 100 man is cool.

You guys should just update the 1st post.

If you are like most of us, you have kept up with this thread, and you dont mind clicking the last page button and looking at the recent update.

Just keeps it more organized IMO

My 2c

yeah I understand.

(I was not expecting this update)

Pikmin & Olimar

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/pikmin/pikmin.jpg

Goodness! Captain Olimar joins the fray with five colors of Pikmin in tow! He plucks Pikmin from the ground and they fight as his allies.

Without Pikmin, Olimar can’t even do a Smash Attack. And the short-lived Pikmin tend to scatter. Theirs is a fated symbiotic relationship.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/pikmin/pikmin_080109a.jpg

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/pikmin/pikmin_080109d.jpg

Never expected the Pikmin dude, but I'm a bit confused as to how he is used mostly because of this line: "Without Pikmin, Olimar can’t even do a Smash Attack." I mean, do they follow him around? Can you smack them till they die but Olimar still lives, just like the Ice Climbers? I guess we'll have to wait and see...

Yay finally another new character, Not the best choice but im not complaining :D.

Yay finally another new character, Not the best choice but im not complaining :D.

Me neither, even there are so many characters now.

Snake: Final Smash

<Grenade Launcher>

Snake’s Final Smash is the Grenade Launcher.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/snake/snake_080110a.jpg
What is he calling in...?

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/snake/snake_080110b.jpg
Suddenly he does a great jump!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/snake/snake_080110c.jpg
Choppa-choppa-choppa!

Snake grabs the rope ladder the helicopter drops and takes out his grenade launcher!

So, the thing to do is shoot, right?

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/snake/snake_080110d.jpg
Poom! Poom! Poom!

You control the targeting reticule and press the attack button to fire grenades one at a time. There are six rounds, and when you run out...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/snake/snake_080110e.jpg
He loads a new clip? How can that be?

It ends when you shoot 12 rounds or run out of time. Snake then climbs back up to return to battle.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/snake/snake_080110f.jpg
Yep. He makes his exit.

It’s probably better to just shoot all your rounds rather than run out of time leaving ammo behind...but if you just shoot indiscriminately, your shots may be dodged.

When there are two or more enemies, it might be a good idea to hit one as he is being attacked by the other, or something along those lines.

that's pretty cool how they changed the format into a bit of an arcade shooter for his final smash...

... but is a renade launcher really powerful enough to be a final smash? One of his regular weapons is a bazooka for crying out loud!:confused:

Wow i like the look of that, 2 good updates in a row... what next.

Snake's final smash looks a bit like the Dragoon...

(w00t! 500 posts and 10%!)

i really cant wait for olimar another unique playstyle added

Challenges

Trophies, stickers, music...

Super Smash Bros. Brawl certainly has its share of "rewards" for you to collect. Among them all are several for which I’ve set certain appearance conditions.

So, to help you manage these performance-based rewards, I’ve created the Challenges mode. This mode gives you hints about what you need to do to unlock these items!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various22/various22_080114a.jpg
This is the Challenges screen.

It’s totally empty. I’d say that if anyone saw this empty screen in-game, it would be an extremely rare occurrence.

Each one of these windows has some condition or another that will unlock it.

When you meet a set of conditions while playing through the game, that window will automatically break open.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various22/various22_080114b.jpg
KSSSSHHH! Then you get what’s inside!

If there’s a CD inside, you can listen to that CD on the spot.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various22/various22_080114c.jpg
Hmmm... Nice.

When a window breaks, you see a red silhouette of the windows on either side. When you align the cursor with these windows, you can see the conditions for breaking them open, too.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various22/various22_080114d.jpg
As you can see...

...

Use this to take on challenge after challenge so you can earn more, more, MORE prizes! It’s much easier to get excited about it when you know what you have to do.

By the way, you can use as many Golden Hammers as there are down below.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various22/various22_080114e.jpg
Even windows that aren’t open...

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various22/various22_080114f.jpg
Can be broken open with a little force!

But use the hammers at your own discretion. Once used, a hammer will never return. You’ll want to save them for challenges you just can’t seem to overcome.

Oh, but you should also know that there are some windows even a trusty Golden Hammer won’t break.

And be careful of friends who might egg you on. I mean, imagine you have a hammer, some pristine glass, and a friend who just keeps telling you to break the glass...

It makes you want to break it, huh?

I have been addicted to the previous two Super Smash Bros. games, and then I moved on to the Xbox 360, where I never touched a Smash Bros. game again.

Right now, even if it's later than most people, I have started to get into the mindset to go back into the game. Yes, I have been following the Smash Dojo news flow for a while, but now that it's almost here, it finally hit me:

I'm going to be playing it in less than a month!

So yeah, I'm back and as psyched as I was two days before running out and getting the previous edition of the game.

Unless of course, rumor is true and it's delayed to March.

Unless of course, rumor is true and it's delayed to March.I hope not...

And it is. Try another thread here.

Wow. First they delay it, and now they're late in releasing the daily update. *slow clap for Nintendo*

But it is Sheik!

Okay, I got some insider info from a legit Nintendo employee who wishes to remain anonymous. Brawl is being delayed only because of the WiFi. The system has issues, and they need to iron them out. Everything else is fully operational and the game should realistically make the March 9th deadline.

...on a bad note, absolutely NO online headset compatibility...way to make your online system fall short again, Nintendo!

so nothing gameplay wise?

aww.... i thought they could have added a character...:(

Well I think we all knew there was going to be no headset, we just refused to acknowledge that.

Well sounds great, i could care less about a headset.

Yeah, this source is really reliable too...darn! The plus side is I might be able to get brawl a few days before it hits stores. :D

lucky bast***.

Pikmin & Olimar: Final Smash

<End of Day>

Captain Olimar always makes sure to return to his spaceship before nightfall when he’s out exploring new planets. Why is that?

That’s because nighttime on these planets is absolutely teeming with scaaary wild beasts! To avoid an encounter with those creatures, Olimar takes to the safety of space during the night.

So how could we represent this idea in Brawl...?

First things first. Get that Smash Ball!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/pikmin/pikmin_080117b.jpg

There’s Olimar’s ship!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/pikmin/pikmin_080117c.jpg

Blast off! The ship soars higher and higher into the stratosphere.

Stars fill the sky above.

Wild beasts everywhere! Aaaah!

Characters left behind on the ground take lots and lots of damage.

But dishing out damage alone won’t score you points. The more people in the brawl, the more damage you can expect this attack to do, but beware—another opponent may steal the KO you’ve worked so hard to set up.

In a one-on-one match, this Final Smash won’t deal as much damage, but hey, there’s no worry that someone else will steal your KO, either.

I guess you could call this balancing the gameplay, huh?

The ship comes crashing back to the battlefield
with a huge explosion! Maybe, if you’re lucky,
you’ll catch someone in the blast?

Not too shabby for a pipsqueak, eh?

Sweet

I also heard Famitsu gave it a 40/40:D:D:D

:(......it also makes the delay a little bit harder.

so nothing gameplay wise?

aww.... i thought they could have added a character...:(

Im sure they havent announced all the characters yet, they will leave at least a few for people to find on their own.
I dont think they will announce all the characters/features through the smash bros update site anyway they will keep some of them secret or else there will be no suprises :D

That's a good thing. I like surprises, especially in fighting games.

To bad the last push back has not revealed anything cool, When are they gonna release something new and innovative? I have a wii, but this games list is kinda disappointing. My faith in the Wii is dying here, throw me a bone.

Cmon if someone who fits into the 'casual' gamer genre gets bored playing it, you are losing your grip.

Bring on the Fanboy-flaming

No more Pokemon!:p

Wow. Who really scours these videos for stuff like this?

Cool, tho.

I sure as hell don't. Saw it on Kotaku.

The weirdest, probably most exciting Pokemon to appear in the game so far. I'm glad it's here, so it gives players a reason to learn how to play as different characters instead of sticking to only one.

Yeah, That has to be the best pokemon in the game so far.

That was pretty awesome.

Both of those were pretty awesome.:D

I'm kinda so so with this one...
its not great, but its not bad either...

Today's update doesn't do anything for me. That's not far enough of a distance to put my mind at ease. I'd like to see a battle between the Tokyo office and something here in the U.S. before I'm convinced the WiFi is good to go.

Well at least we know it WORKS, within a 300 mile radius? in a direct T1 connection, with super high speed Japanese Internet... unlike some people in the united states who have horrible Internet connection issues in online play, gah, well I guess it wasn't that much of a show.

MEGATON!!!!!!!!

GO READ IT AT THE SITE.

Wow. Demos of VC games? Sounds like a really crappy feature. Why take away the game after so long? Why not just give us a few levels and an unlimited trial period? This is one of the crappiest things Nintendo has done...

ploogle, you have to be completely insane. Are you seriously complaining about this??

Think...You see a new character you dont know much about. Pit maybe? So you go to the Masterpeice section and play Kid Icarus. You learn that the game is pretty good and then go download it on the VC. Here are the pros and cons of this new feature.

Pros:
-Demo of VC games
-Free
-No Download
-More value to Brawl.
-No wasting money on terrible VC games

Cons:
-Time limit (Thats the only one I can think of)

but couldn't they give us a part of the game with unlimited instead of making it timed?
its the same thing with the DMC4 demo; It makes you rush too much.

ploogle, you have to be completely insane. Are you seriously complaining about this??
1. That seems to be popular opinion.
2. Yes.

but couldn't they give us a part of the game with unlimited instead of making it timed?
THAT's what I'm talking about. Why set a time limit on the game? I think that it's complete crap to ship a game with a TIMED demo. I mean, I'd be all for it if we got even the first level of each game with an unlimited amount of time to play it. As it is, however, I'm not too happy with Brawl right now.

At least Nintendo is finally giving out Demos. Still I don't like the timed thing

Im not saying I like the time, but it's there. You cant do anything about it.
Overall it adds more to brawl. And thats what I am excited about.
