Hehe, the Co-op adventure mode reminds me so much of the classic Sonic & Tails... And the rewards for beating the game in harder difficulties are back. I wouldn't want it any other way. One more thing, Sonic being unlockable by memory card = very bad idea. First and foremost, SSBB is an all-star fighting game. Why should we make a character exclusive for those who like him? Why don't we make Sheik unlockable only if you have OoT in your Virtual Console? Or Ridley available only if you have a MP3 save in the memory card? Just because we don't like the original game for a character doesn't mean we instantly hate them. Pit seems awesome to play as, but I didn't like Kid Icarus. I'm not too keen on the Starfox series, but Fox is my third best character. Petey: If the system you suggested ended up being in the game, and you wanted to play as Sonic (because he seems an interesting fighter), but you couldn't because you can't find M&S or can't afford it at the moment or simply don't want the game? It may not happen to you, but it could happen to many people.

Even though EBA are awesome, wouldn't it be fitting if they were assist trophies? Because that's what they do. They assist people. You know, that's a very believable theory. They don't announce Sonic for Brawl yet because they want to improve the sales of the Olympic game (the crossover thing being its main selling point). After the initial rush with the game and the sales figures are in, they announce Sonic as a playable character for Brawl. The game will sell well regardless of its inclusion, so it's a smart move to promote the game that doesn't have the guaranteed success. Not that I know much about marketing and advertising, but it seems like a smart move from their part.

Melee wasn't too chaotic. Even with the items on Mid, the confusion was controllable. What I'm really wishing for though, is the possibility to remove the Crates/Barrels/Capsules. It sucks when I'm trying to have a "Pokéballs only" match and the Crates/Barrels/Capsules get in the way. About Sonic, you can put me in the "Yes" list. Sonic is an icon. Just because his games have declined over the years, you can't ignore the classics. If there are more references to his new games than the old ones, I'm against it, of course. But since SSBB is 2D, I trust he will fight like in the classic games. With that said, If I had to choose between Sonic and Muddy, I would choose Muddy in an instant. (Come on Muddy! Resetti is out of the way, you're the only mole who can do this!) [ATTACH]1545[/ATTACH] Sorry, It's badly photoshopped, but I couldn't resist.

Heh, what about that? I was half-right! Fox's FS is awesome. A heavy tank that can barrel roll? And hover? I should've known Sakurai was a fan of the tank when I saw the Melee trophies.

Solitanze...? Nah, he would ramble a bit more on the "sales flow". Still, I prefer they keep the hype to a low level. Megaton hype just raises the expectations for a game so much you'll be disappointed. SSBB is actually showing us substance instead of relying on advertising hype for sales. But I think I'll stop there. I don't want to take this thread off-topic. On-Topic, ExciteBike is awesome. If only I could find ExciteBike 64 back in the day I would've bought it. Lakitu is also awesome. The most dangerous/annoyng enemy in Super Mario Bros. has been a "camera guy" for too long... You know what else is awesome? 8-Bit rendering! I really hope there are more 8-Bit ATs. For tomorrow I predict a How to Play update. I have this feeling...(that's rarely right)

That's a good idea. That way, Metal Gears can appear more often so you can see them all. Plus, If there's a different MG for specific flashlights, it can work for your advantage by using them strategically.

Yeah, I figured you meant that. But I think that's Yoshi's taunt. Snake just ran and nothing happened to him. I hope the ! it's not there just for aesthetic value.

Snake didn't stop or look at the camera. He just ran off. That's probably it. It just seemed very fluid and fast. Almost like an advanced match.

I just saw them and Snake is my favorite character now. -First things first, the stage is awesome. I wonder what happens when you get spotted? -Good to see the shield bubble. -What the hell did he throw Wario? -Does Mario have different voice clips? -Are the entrances back? Snake seemed to use an entrance. -What the hell did Snake do at 0:50-0:51? -The conversations are awesome. The Samus and Yoshi ones were good enough, but Wario's was epic! And the fan conversations are awesome. Here's one from Smashboards: I'll do a few lame ones :

Help! I can't see the videos! Is there a Youtube/downloadable version?

Woohoo! Japan-only characters for the win! Even if it is a relatively recent one! That's how we got Fire Emblem (my third favorite Nintendo series). And I love his design! I wouldn't mind if Ness was replaced by this guy. I never liked him to begin with, but I kinda like Lucas. God this makes me want to play MOTHER 3. (Note to self: Play MOTHER 3 before SSBB. Melee would've spoiled me if I hadn't seen Sheik's identity in OoT. And I heard MOTHER 3 has huge spoilers.)

Yeah, they were successful. The tourney update does disappoint a little. I like it and all that, but there are many people that don't. Even if there are online tourneys, I don't think this mode will be used. Most people will probably prefer the online organization via forum/chat, since there's more freedom and all....

But he doesn't look weak. By the way, new update: Pokémon Trainer: Final Smash Triple Finish It’s the Pokémon Trainer’s Final Smash: Triple Finish! It combines the powers of Squirtle, Ivysaur and Charizard! Any one of them can get the Smash Ball. Go! Triple Finish! It’s super effective! ...So, what is with that text window below? Squirtle = Hydro Pump Ivysaur = Solar Beam Charizard = Fire Blast These are the moves they use. Isn’t it a beautiful combination? A fire-type attack, a water-type attack and a grass-type attack? (Not really.) If an opposing Pokémon gets the Smash Ball, at the very least take care to not be standing immediately beside it. When you’re particularly close, it hurts. FLEE! -------------------------------------------------------------- Look at that, a Triple Team move. Gotta love the small window. It's Super Effective!

Pokémon Trainer, Peach, Zelda, Jigglypuff, Dr.Mario... Am I missing any character that looks weak and has no obvious weapon/fighting style?

AC main characters are lame. I've seen many decent looking characters (K.K. Slider, Mr. Resetti) in the franchise, but the main character ain't one of them. Miis would be better choices. That Kappa looks alright, but is he important to the series? I wouldn't rely too much on that poll. I believe many responses weren't even featured. -Dedede has one of the best chances among all nintendo characters. I'll be surprised if he's not in. -Ridley is the most plausible Metroid character. I think he's the only popular Metroid character in Japan. -Olimar's chances are pretty high. Created by Myamoto, great potential, unique concept... I say he's in. -Krystal is probably going to be the only Starfox newcomer. The staff + magic combo is unique and she can stand out from all the high-tech gadgets the others have. -Takamaru could work. His chances are pretty small, but if Marth and Pit got in, there' still a shot. The same can be said for Sukapon and every retro/japanese character. -Wind Waker Link has even better chances than Young Link. I think he's in. -Geno would have a better chance if he was actually owned by Nintendo. Unless Square lets go of him, there is barely any chance. The remaining characters don't have a worse chance just because they only have 2 votes. I think Isaac, Megaman, Claus and AC character have pretty good chances. Besides, I don't think anybody voted for Red/Squirtle/Charizard/Ivysaur and they still got in. That would be awesome. I can already imagine him mocking Snake for not being 1st party and Red for not actually fighting. And could you imagine something along the lines of: "What do you mean this Assist Trophy is your only hope? Let me tell you, items can't do all the work for you kids."

Mr. Resetti = Awesome. I don't really like the concept of Animal Crossing, but the idea of Resetti is pretty good. Do you think he can make characters fall asleep? I'm wondering who will be the AC playable character now. I was sure it would be Resetti. And I didn't know Diddy was so hated. He's the 2nd best of the Kong clan (Cranky comes first). Seriously, I would take the DK Rare cast than the evergrowing Sonic cast, which just seems to add lame characters with every installment. Cream? Silver? Big? And the DS games inroduced (at least) two more characters. I'm pretty sure very few people will care for them after a while. By the way, I never played DK64 so I don't know the Rare characters there. Are they even worse than the recent Sonic characters or something?

For those of you aware of the recent actions of football coach Luis Felipe Scolari: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=SANlJnTwLic For those of you that don't mind a bit of parody of the Mega Man cartoons: [Portuguese Mode] E para os fãs portugueses de Dragonball Z: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APjwgbDduPA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-2Ktz-E7-M Há mais vídeos desta série feitos pelo mesmo autor.

What the...? That is one of the freakiest baddies I've ever seen. Yes, I know playable characters have trophies, but don't you find it weird that they would reveal those characters through this update? I wouldn't mind Tingle as a PC (specially since he has his own game now), but I just think it's weird that he would be revealed this way. The tower stage is not a bad idea at all. But isn't there any original stage in the Tingle RPG? A stage from a different game is always welcome.

Once again, another cool character that gets announced during my absence. Snake is awesome. Using different weapons for smash attacks is awesome. Just ask Mr. Game and Watch (also awesome). That pic with Ike is priceless. Sleeper hold + Neckbreaking skills = win. The music is good. Didn't expect to see MGS 4 music here. The trophies update is also cool. Great to see them return. By the way, it seems that Tingle and Slippy have been deconfirmed. Cel shaded Link would be a cool character. Him and realistic Link are completely different. Cel Link can't use the Gale Boomerang, but he can use the Deku Leaf, the Gust Jar, among others. EDIT: Does that banana got eyes? What game is that from?

Stupid Sexy Snake! I suppose he's going to be updated either tomorrow or next week. 'Bout time. And I'm curious about the hovering-thingy. Could it really be an item? Or is it Snake's Up-B? Or maybe he can float like Peach? SSB has so much variety that it's hard to guess.

The best I can remember are portuguese media mistakes. When GTA: Vice City came out and certain members of the media started to claim the game was extremely violent and whatnot, a portuguese channel did the same thing. Of course, it didn't help matters that they had barely done any research to the point that the reporter kept calling it City Vice. I don't think she even knew GTA was part of the title, too. Another case of lack of research, this time from a gaming magazine. Around the time of E3 2006, MaxiConsolas (the same mag that first revealed NiGHTS) obviously dedicated one or two paragraphs to every game announced at E3. In the description of Super Smash Bros. Brawl the comments were something along the lines of: "New characters like Wario and Meta Knight are a welcome addition, but Nintendo seems to be running out of characters. After all, the newcomer Pit is a character exclusively made for this game." All they had to do was look at the trophies in melee...

Piplup This is one of the Pokémon you can choose at the beginning of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. It’s quite charming, so I’m sure there were quite a few people who chose it. It emerges from the Poké Ball! Suddenly, it starts sliding around using Surf! The simpler the stage, the greater the effect of this may be. If you’re wondering why, it’s because anyone who gets caught up in that surf will get washed away with Piplup. They’re getting washed away! If you get washed away, do what you can to get back. Even simple characters like this really stir things up on stages. ------------------------------------------------ Marril Version 2.0, heh? Not that I mind. Marril was cool and all, but very easy to escape. I hope this guy is more effective.

My god, Wheelie. What happened to you? If this enemy is anything like Wheelie, then I'll be doing this mode more often than not. Reminds me of a cartoon. Nice design, though. The pokéballs have come to life! Run for your lives! Fact: Most ball shaped enemies tend to be annoying and/or irritating. Judging from their numbers, seems like they'll follow that trend. Flying carpets are evil now? Poe (Twilight Princess) + Gerudo Warrior (Ocarina of Time) = Shaydas. Cool. Woodpeckers are always nice. Finally we'll be able to use them as swords/spears. Fact: Giant Scythes in arc attacks are effective. This guy is gonna hurt. Finally, an admittedly familiar face. Seems R.O.B. is also evil now. All those years of neglect have turned him to the dark side. Expect Virtual Boy to come next.

I found it in a Fire Emblem fansite as well. Serenes Forest. It's not a part of the FE series (it's on PSX), but was produced by one of its creators. The game's interface is very similar to Fire Emblem, from the dialog boxes to the weapons to the units. It even was called "Emblem Saga" in development stages. Nintendo even filed a lawsuit because of the similarities.

You're right. I certainly didn't expect to be answered this quick. (5 minutes! ) I think it's Utna, not Ytna, but that hardly matters.
