Nintendo Counts Down to Super Smash Bros. Brawl

[Monol]

....CRAP!!
Wolfs soo lame lol
Uhh krystal for an assist trophy?

Lots of info here. Not sure if JKTrix's site had this same information, but I can actually get to this page, so...

Confirmation of Ridley as a boss fight, yay!

[JKTrix]

There's lots of different blogs around that are serving as an aggregate for all these spoilers, especially with the 'main sites' taking a hammering.

One thing that Go Nintendo thing had that I hadn't seen though, is instructions to a live stream of someone playing Brawl. That was cool. I'm not exactly scouring the internet looking for details though, there's a couple other sites I go to that have people doing that

Loving Lucario's KamehamehAura Sphere. Methinks he'll be a popular choice.

It's good to see Wolf isn't a clone. I've not seen Falco fight yet, though. From what I can see, Toon Link is the only "clone" of the game, but I bet Falco might change that when I see him.

[Rase]

Loving all the info. I'm not one who really cares if something is spoiled for me or not, so meh. Just gives me a goal to unlock them.

EDIT: In the first video on the site Skyblade posted, anyone else notice Wario stopping the rolling barrel and picking it up around 1:27 or so?

[demondude]

Is that really the final roster?

Jigglypuff!!!!!????!!!111love!!!

[Trumpet Thief]

Maybe it's just me, but I had really high expectations for the final roster. A 35 character roster with clones leaves me wantin' more, especially with the likes of Ridley, Geno, K. Rool, etc. not being playable.

[KentaRawr!]

I'm liking it all right. Besides, the only clone I can see from the videos posted in this thread is Toon Link. Wolf's video is a bit blurry, but the only moves that really stand out are entirely different from Fox.

Marths skills have improved but he seems a tad slower

Thanks for the Falco video. Though perhaps you should note that the Marth videos bear Story Mode spoilers.

[Creeping Shadow]

Thanks for the Falco video.

Its what I do

BTW does anyone have a luigi gameplay video they can post?

[KentaRawr!]

I saw a Target Test somewhere with him in it.

Its perfectly fine to be a little bummed by the final roster.You are paying for the game after all and personally im not a big fan of the final roster at all.

Infact i think thats the most dissapointing aspect of the game.
(Here comes another uber long rant...huzzah! )

Sub space looks fantastic, ALL the arenas are superb, items look fun, pokemon seem more diverse, AT rock, musics phenominal, stage edit looks neat and even target test and home run seem fun.

But im one of those pepole that play fighting games for oh i dont know...the CHARACTERS! Dont get me wrong theres not a single character that i mind thats on the roster (yes including R.O.B.) but i felt there are certain characters that deserved priority over others.

Ok first lets look at the number....35. Now thats not SO bad (it could be sooo much worst) but lets take a look at the leaps smash has made over the years in terms of characters. Super smash bros. had 12 characters. It was released january 21 1999. Melee came out in 2001...thats a 2 yr difference and we boosted to 25 characters(26 if you count shiek)! Wow thats more then double the origonal roster! Now comes brawl early 2008. Seven freakin years later and we get 10 more characters. But thats NOT the part that upsets me. Now for the venting...

Sakuri promised no more clones. Suure most characters are luigified at the moment but what the heck?! Ness and falcos FS's are the same as lucas and fox?! Wolf and falco move like fox? Cartoon link plays like regular link? Ganon has no sword?! Now i admire these characters and im glad there in the game and all and suure there a tad bit different but heres the issue...make the ORIGINALs FIRST theen worry about clones or luigified characters. Sures it nice to see ness back but put him next to lucas and there almost identical. But claus (lucas's twin brother...hehe ironry eh?) could have had twice as much potential because he could have represented (SPOILER)a villain for the mother series but noo we just get a kid who uses a snake and a kid with a yo-yo who just so happen to both be protaganists. Umm wheres krystal!? Sakuri said he wanted more females so where the heck is the most wanted female rep for the star fox series? Why on earth would he put three very similar male characters to rep a series but not the only logical female rep? (who could EASILY have her own original move set...staff,magic user for the star fox team whos ALSO a female...kill two birds with one stone easy) And thats wonderful that marth made it back but hes just a fast ike...why not bring a spear user or a FEMALE or SOMTHING unique! Theres more the fire emblem series then blue haired sword wielding good guys for crying out loud. But what probably peeves me the most is lucario. Replacing mewtwo with that cool looking dude...boo! I think lucarios awsome but why does Mewtwo get the shaft and ness and marth dont? At least if you put him next to lucario you wont get confused between the two if you looked at the sword and some goofy hat *glares at ness and marth*. I mean come on Mewtwos THE badguy pokemon. He has his own voice, hes psychic (makes for a creative move set) and back story (sort of but then again so does lucario so thats a weak argument there) And all these characters had an awsome chance of making it if the developers didnt use all there time on stuff like stickers, AT's, subspace and all the garbage. As i said before good characters come first in a fighting game.

Which is why i refuse to believe 35 is the final roster. I still have hope and believe in nintendo to pull through on this one. Pleease nintendo...dont ruin everything!!

On a serious note the game looks fantastic and i'll play it either way.

35 is a hell of a lot of characters. O_o
