Jonnas Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Really, can't they have any better idea for a Metroid level? At least this time, it resembles the game more (just for the background). The safe area is actually a good idea. It can certainly bring some originality to the table with this level. Here's hoping it's more fun than Brinstar. And that there is some stage related to other Metroid games. Hopefully Prime.
not_so_tiny Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Who cares about them, anyway? Their parents? One of the less 'extravagant' levels but still looks fun none-the-less, adds a new spin on the rising lava and fighting for the safe zone will be fun. Well now we have to wait till Monday for another update.
Goron_3 Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 LOL The 'serious' folks won't like this!!! :P Grow up. Considering Zebes was played by the 'serious' players as you called em you're talk is flawed (don't think i dnt like you btw). Oh and danny shut up. This level has been known about for a while so i'm just seeing this as a waste of an update. I hope that they don't spend too much of their time going over what we already know from hands-on play time.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Hang on, what did I do wrong? I meant nothing bad with what I said. I just wanted to poke a little fun at those extreme players who worship the game. Just like in the recent edition of GamerPALs.

I hope that they don't spend too much of their time going over what we already know from hands-on play time. It might be known by the people who followed the hands-on demo but there are others who haven't and every update reveals something new for them. We can't have a brilliant updates everyday, I mean we're lucky as it is to get such frequent updates, so we have to accept that over the next few weeks we're going to get updates about already known Final Smashes and Assist Trophies, etc, it's not the end of the world.
James McGeachie Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Erm, it's just the same as the previous Norfair levels, of which Kraid was not a part of. Well In Melee at least both stages were named after Brinstar, which was weird though as Brinstar isn't associated with lava at all, there's only a tiny amount here and there. Actually I guess there was more in the original Metroid come to think of it. Anyway they should really have a Tourian stage actually, with Metroids flying around and a visit from Mother Brain in her SM final boss form to fire lasers at the stage every so often. Perhaps have those red barrier things raise up and split the playing field when she attacks so you have to break through them to get to safety. EDIT: 2 minute hastily (crappily) drawn mspaint pic of what the layout could be for that. She'd smash out of the glass container eventually! Bottom would be acid and not lava. http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/8148/tourianab2.gif
Ten10 Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Ah I forgot the name of the metroid levels. I just said Kraid because all I could think of was Kraid smashing the rather crappy stage around in the background. Its just that even in the new metroid games there are great places that have been created that could be used to make a great metroid level.
James McGeachie Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Yeah you could have a Skytown moving stage where you're on floating platforms being pulled along the zipwires and what not, having to switch between them as some fall off as steambots kind of whizz past in the air and stuff too. A Phazon based level could be interesting too, with perhaps pools of Phazon dropping onto the platforms with different types having different effects. Some do damage, some heal and perhaps others increase the amount of damage you do temporarily. Phenedrana could obviously make a very nice looking stage too though I'm not sure what gameplay gimmicks it could have to separate it out.
Ten10 Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Speaking of Phazon there could be pools of, or special item pickups of orange phazon of instant death. That would only help make the battles more frantic.
Gizmo Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 I always liked that Metroid stage where the whole level turned round.
Zell Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 I bet it still has nothing on Zebes on Smash 64. That level was awesome.
Cube Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 The ESRB in the US have rated Brawl a T. So, surely it must be pretty much finished? Was the delay simply just to give other games a chance???
The-chosen-one Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 i think the delay is for the stage builder and maybe for some online modes i think also other third party companys also wanted their character in the game for a price :P

Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 If I have offended anyone with my previous comment, I want to apologize. I was of the impression that not many people in here took the extreme Smash players seriously, so I saw no hurt in poking a little fun at them. My comment seems to have been taken more seriously and harsh than I intended it to, so I want to clear things up: I never meant what I said in a cynical or hurtful way, and I never wanted to offend anyone. And for this misunderstanding, I apologize.

Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 No worries, mate. : peace: ps. You don't need to apologise, you have done nothing wrong. A few people just seemed to be offended by what I said. Since I hate offending others, I wanted to apologize. I have gotten on wrong terms with members of a forum before because of misunderstandings, just like in this case.

I was thinking particularly about Goron_3's comments. And just because I'm not facing the person in real life doesn't mean I shouldn't worry about his or her feelings. I know some people would take advantage of that, but I won't be pushed around.
Goron_3 Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 It's exactly the reason why those people should be mocked, if they take offence... Stop taking computer life so seriously!!!! I'm taking offence over a computer game? LOL. Also danny, i don't see why you're apologizing cos you've done nothing wrong. Seriously, A LOT worse has been said. TBh you're were just stating something; sorry if i sounded as if you upset me, cos it didnt rele bother me. Now ignorance...that annoys me.

Well, when someone says "shut up" to me, I take it they've got something against me or something I said. Maybe I'm just sensitive. No matter, I was merely surprised by the reaction my comment spurred, and since the reaction seemed to be negative, I wanted it cleared up immediately. I simply hate to be on someone's bad side.
Jayby Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 Group hug? Seriousely boys I really don't like that Safe Zone thing they've stuck on there, I would have been happier if it was the same as before, but instead of lava falling it was phazon.

They should have a level with phazon. It could make your attacks more powerful for a short amount of time after touching it, but also deals you damage.
DCK Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 They should have a level with phazon. It could make your attacks more powerful for a short amount of time after touching it, but also deals you damage.Could very well be an item, though.
