Nintendo Counts Down to Super Smash Bros. Brawl

[Evastio]

Hah hah. I can imagine Samus and Zelda wanting one of those really badly and Link and Ganondorf getting really jealous of Captain Falcon. Maybe Peach as well. (People give weird looks) Well it is kind of obvious that Ganondorf does have feelings for Zelda. Also, here's Captain Falcon's New Theme Song.

Anyways, today's update was nice. It's good to know that you can use the Ukemi on walls and ceilings, the glancing blows not making enemies flinch like they did in the previous games, (hope this won't affect Marth badly since that's his main strength though) and pivot grabs being able to increase your grab range by a lot (it may take quite a lot of practice to master though).

I was kind of hoping that crawling and wall clinging would be explained though. I guess that update will be for another day.

If I recall correctly, if you walked off the left side of the screen in Mario Brothers (or at least the version of it in SMB3), you would come out on the right side. This is going to mess with me in Smash.

[KentaRawr!]

I wonder, do the enemies go to the opposite side of the screen when they go into the right or left side?

[Skyblade]

I'm wondering if the POW blocks are going to be used.

[KentaRawr!]

I'm pretty sure they are. There was a Youtube Video I saw of the stage, and one of the players very commonly used it.

It also answered my question on enemies. They do loop.

There's the video. There are a few events put in that video, though, so if you don't want to see them, you'd best not view.

It's nice to see some more classic style levels. I like how they even kept the Mario Bros. like gameplay complete with the bouncy floor and the flipping over of enemies.

I wouldn't be suprised if they updated Luigi soon.

Also I love the wind waker stage. :D

Looks like I'm right once again.







It's nice to see Luigi finally getting his chance to shine on the dojo. It's also really good to know that he's keeping his Luigi Cyclone. (I preferred Mario's Cyclone attacks more than F.L.U.D.D.) I especially like his new taunt (where he switches poses crazy fast). And although they didn't explain where his Negative Zone Final Smash came from I'm glad they explained how it works.

I guess that means Falco is next. And then Captain Falcon. (which'll make a lot of you happy)

[Monol]

Krystal would have made me happier... WAGGGH!!!!

Im kind of looking forward to falco though. Id like to offically hear some of the differences with falco from fox this time around.

[Creeping Shadow]

I cant wait to see Falco hes the only one that owns just as much as marth!!

[Aydin]

If they don't include Tails from Sonic, I'm going to go down to Nintendo Corporation and slap sum dat booty.

The final roster was revealed weeks ago. He's not in it

Good to see you're accepting it and moving on in such a healthy fashion. :P

I've heard that some people have put the disc's data onto their PC's and read some of the Data. Allegedly, in the section where all the characters were, file-names that implied the following characters were found:

Roy
Pichu OR Plusle and Minum.
Mewtwo
Dr. Mario
Dixie Kong
Toon Zelda
Toon Sheik

Along with file names implying alternative victory music for every character in the game, including those 7.

However, the most accepted guess is that those pieces of data are empty, and are just place-holders on the disc. Would be cool if there was downloadable content, but I doubt it'll happen. Plus I've seen no proof that the data was even extracted.

Figured I'd post anyway. But it's just an anonymous rumor.

Edit: I was provided this list on another forum, which is allegedly the file list of the Characters Section.

Something I find interesting is that every clone character, like Gkoopa (Giga Bowser), the Zakos (Fighting Alloys), Pra_mai (Plusle and Minum? Pichu, maybe?) have a size of 128. I'm assuming he copied and pasted the entire list from a folder rather than make the whole list himself, so perhaps that's why the exact amount isn't shown.

Anyway, the lack of file size in so many characters is probably because they either don't have a move-set for them, or they borrow the move-set of another character. For example, we already know Giga Bowser does NOT have a move-set for himself. He's just Bowser, but with stat alterations. But then we have Mewtwo on that list, who is also at 128.

Something that would be nice would be the ability to see more than file names. Or a new AR.
