Nintendo Counts Down to Super Smash Bros. Brawl

He cant recover with his down b?! Ouch

Screw his F-tilt...the slower the better (more intimdating edge guard muhahaha) his jab is his fastest move which is kind of a shame. Can captain falcon still recover with his down b? Maybe we'll find another way to recover with the guys?

You just never know...

I hadn't noticed those. That kinda stinks...

But, even so, it seems like he can be used well. I've seen some matches on Youtube with him, and he seems all right.

Yay Marth!!!

(Even though Creeping Shadow beat me to it)

I'm glad they finally updated my best (and most favourite) character. And judging by what they said his Counter seems to be powered up without any drawbacks at all. I'm really looking forward to using him in Brawl.

I guess I was also right about my Secret Character Updating Order Theory.

Fixed, with a better link (longer, shows the 5 characters).

I'm glad it's confirmed for sure now.

Re: Dojo

(SPOILER)Lucario on Monday?

People had already figured out the 'hold shield to pick Zero Samus (Zamus)' thing, but I hadn't seen the 'rapid taunt to shed Samus' armour'.

This makes me happy. :P I think the last paragraph implies that you can get the armour back just as easily.

I'm glad the dojo has finally explained a lot of mysteries surrounding Zero Suit Samus. Especially being able to switch back and forth with her suit.

The Enemies and Allies update is talking about Lucario when they say "there is one character who has a rather unusual method by which they can distinguish friend from foe..." who I don't think will be the next character updated. It would be awesome if he was, don't get me wrong there. But I'm still strongly thinking that they're updating characters in order from the least to most amount of Vs. Matches needed to unlock them (and so far Ness and Marth totally fit for that).

Either that or they wanted to get all the secret characters you see in the intro out of the way.

Wavedashing is gone, it seems. It's been replaced with a minijump designed to dispel your momentum rather than manipulating for a faster move speed. I guess people will have to find some other way to manipulate the physics of the game.

Moves now have diminishing returns, in an attempt to stop people from just spamming one move over and over (not that it's stopped that, from what I've seen of some of the videos).

A pivot grab has been added. Run one way, switch direction, and grab on to your opponent. It increases most people's grab range, though I wonder what it will do to people with grapple grabs.

The principles of the laser show up in Brawl. The more a beam bounces back and forth between reflectors, the more powerful it gets, until it is strong enough to break through one of the reflectors.

There's a couple more small changes up. It's nice to see the level of detail they're putting into this.

I was really impressed by this update. It seems sakuri really is aiming to make this game a whole new experience.

The new "tech" seems neat (Whats with the name? 0_o) and eating on the ground is a dream come true

I also read somewhere your characters can randomly trip.

I want to master this "trip"...I shall call it "Trip dashing". You all wait and see...wait and see ill mess with the pysics of this game yet!

When it comes out of course

What's wrong with calling it Ukemi? I'm pretty sure it's a common name for this kind of thing. In SC3, they called it the same thing in the tutorial. Even so, since it's just on the site, I'm thinking more people will still call it "teching".
