Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Spoilers Topic)

[Ike]

I agree with what Serebii said, the release list isn't final.

[Serebii]

I really wish the communities online were more logical. They see the slightest thing...false or not and make a volcano out of it

[ShadowV7]

Kotaku is as big as GoNintendo and Joystiq, maybe even bigger.

 

Nah I meant the site as the source that Kotaku mentioned as Serebii mentioned.

 

Also @James, every list is incomplete when it get's released and games are always added, same goes for this one.

[Hellfire]

Not to mention that this list didn't pop out of nowhere, it was UPDATED. The will most likely come out March/April, which was what I always expected.

[Serebii]

I sent an email to Kotaku with these facts. Hopefully they'll update :p

King Dedede: Final Smash

 

Waddle Dee Army

 

King Dedede’s Final Smash is a mountain of Waddle Dees called the Waddle Dee Army!

 

Hmm. I guess it’s in his character to leave the work to someone else.

 

 

Everyone in formation!

 

 

Clompity-clompity-clompity-clompity!

 

 

Hup! Hup! Hey! Ho!

 

You can’t tell from a picture, but the speed of these Waddle Dees is quite a bit faster than the ones he normally calls. You’ll need to watch out to make sure you don’t suddenly get swept off the screen.

 

But the most dangerous thing of all is that the spike-headed Gordos are also mixed into the crowd.

 

 

Owwwwwwww!

I like this final smash, looks useful as well.

 

I agree that that release date list probably isn't complete yet. I'm still expecting Brawl somewhere around March for Europe. It would be really annoying if this game got delayed even further for Europe, but we'll have to wait and see.

[not_so_tiny]

Oh yeah the update :p really like this FS. Since we haven't had any character updates for like 6 weeks these updates are becoming my favorite. I've noticed we haven't had a video for a while, hopefully were due for one soon.

[ghost_zero]

Dragon Quest Swords isn't on the list either and that one has now a release date for spring 2008 (no exact release date - just spring 2008) which would mean it should get released end of Q1 or in Q2 but would be before Q3.

[Serebii]

Anyone else a bit concerned about CVG claiming they got it from Nintendo UK themselves that it specifically is not planned for Q1 or Q2 or do you think they're just rewording what the other sites said to make themselves look good?

[ShadowV7]

I think they're changing it themselves so it looks like they're stating it as a fact. The list is far from complete and Nintendo even said earlier in the week they're trying to reduce gaps of games to 2 weeks tops.

[Serebii]

Its just that CVG quote Nintendo as to saying "[super Smash Bros. Brawl] is currently not planned for a release in Q1 or Q2 next year."

 

[Gizmo]

Isn't that the exact quote from the website you rubbished earlier?

[ShadowV7]

I'll wait for Nintendo to say something themselves. You could take what they said to be a more harsh version of what the spokesperson said.

[Dyson]

So much for being confident in your sources Serebii.

[James McGeachie]

Serebii the "logical" thing was always to assume that the delay was true regardless of what you're saying. It is entirely typical of Nintendo, regardless of what the case was with a lot of titles recently. Recall that we still see Warioware Twisted pop up on release lists occasionally.

Yea that is pretty funny how that keeps cropping up actually. In Nintendo's Asset library it still says it's due for release.

Something else to look at, the brawl character rosta leaked, http://www.nintendrone.blog.com/2368798/ I call fake. However, if it does turn out to be real how does everyone feel about it?

[Falcon_BlizZACK]

Played Melee religiously...Literally hundreds of hours put in, and we never saw Celebii....

 

...Then one day we saw him two games on the trot!

 

You should have went to training mode and selected only pokeballs only, which would spawn pokeballs hence gives you a btter chance to view all the pokemon.

[Oxigen_Waste]

Nice add in, the CPU replacing thingy. Me likes it.

[Serebii]

Isn't that the exact quote from the website you rubbished earlier?

No. The source I rubbished said "If the game is not listed on the schedule up until the end of Q2 it is currently not due out until after that time." which is much more vague, inaccurate and rubbish

I can confirm to you that that is completely and utterly fake. While it may have characters that are in. It does have some which aren't and lacks many which are

 

So much for being confident in your sources Serebii.

I am confident in my sources. The date stuff didnt come from my sources as most of mine are in NOA not NOE. The date stuff came from logic

With Anyone/Basic Brawl

 

Join a quick and simple brawl against someone, somewhere! If you’re not going to be playing with a friend, this is the mode you’ll tend to use.

 

This time, we’ll take a look at how it flows.

 

 

The Wii console is trying to connect in earnest! And it succeeds!

 

 

Here you choose With Anyone.

 

 

You could also choose Team Battle,

but we’ll choose Basic Brawl here.

 

 

You go straight to the character selection screen.

 

Huh? We’re already at character selection? That’s right. You don’t make any rooms.

 

At this point, you’re already requesting a match. If you connect to someone, you’ll see their status at the bottom of the screen.

 

Character selection is limited to 45 seconds. If time runs out, your character will be chosen for you at random, so make your choices quickly so as not to make others wait.

 

 

Then you go to stage selection.

 

You can cast one vote for the stage you want to play. A stage is chosen by lottery from among those voted on by the players.

 

Also, the items that are turned off in the item switch are also determined by lottery.

 

 

Practise on Sandbag while you wait...

 

Then just wait until you get everyone together.

 

 

Then the match begins!!

 

Isn’t that simple? You don’t have to bother with any settings. You just choose characters and stages.

 

Names won’t be shown and messages won’t be sent. Neither your identity nor your opponents’ will be known, so you can play without any worries.

 

By the way, have you ever had an experience where your opponent was disconnected and the match never came to fruition? Like when you started with four players, but ended up with only one?

 

I don’t like that feeling, so I’ve tried to counter it.

 

If you get cut off, your character will get taken over by the CPU without your opponents even knowing – it pinch hits for you!

 

 

Hold on! You can’t tell it’s a CPU!

 

That’s epic! Can we really do this? Wouldn’t you say it’s way better than having all your opponents drop out?

 

However, we won’t be swapping in CPU characters when you’re playing With Friends. Sorry about that.

 

 

 

And there is one more important thing...

 

When you have a battle mode that runs online like Basic Brawl, the problem of what to do with hidden characters arises. If one of your opponents chooses a character you haven’t unlocked yet, it will be spoiled for you immediately.

 

But even without this mode, given the proliferation of the Internet these days, the existence of hidden characters is going to get exposed anyway.

 

So, this time I’m moving in the direction of not being too hung up on hidden characters.

 

You can earn most characters by playing through Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary. For those of you who look forward to those encounters, I recommend you clear this mode before playing Basic Brawl.

 

And as the case has always been, I’ve made it so you can play the characters you unlock in battles.

I think he found a good way, to handle disconnects. You won't notice it as much this way. What I'm missing is if you can play online together with a friend on your Wii, this update makes it look like that isn't possible. I hope it still is though.

[ReZourceman]

So, Serebii do you know the character roster? Full/partial.

 

I have a favour to ask. If K Rool is in the game every ounce of my begs you to PM "Yes"

 

I wont reveal this to anyone if you do...PS, if you dont PM me Ill assume he isnt in it. But yeah...Id massively appreciate that.

[Serebii]

Partial. There are still some things my sources didnt tell me since they're evil.

[ReZourceman]

Did they tell you if or if not K Rool is in it?

[Serebii]

I cannot answer any further questions
