Ike
I am so very happy with the August 1, 2007 update! Gooo Ike!
P.S. He will most likely be my most used character in the game. He is my favorite character from my favorite game, el hinto to why he would be my main huh?

Just speculating, but I think that the really BIG announcement come at the beginning of the month (starting with July, I don't think Delfino Plaza stage on June 1st was that big of an announcement. :wink: ).
In July, it was assist trophies and now for August it's Ike. I just hope that we won't have to wait another month for the next new character...

Also, it means the can save the big, unexpected, announcements for close to release. That way people will be excited by the announcement and then rush to the shop in a matter of weeks, rather than stewing over it for months and deciding that it's not worth the wait.

These updates really are driving me mental...
Doesn't anyone else think it's stupid that Nintendo are making us scavenge for info about a game we're spending our money on?
I checked the updates for about 2 days, then I just couldn't be bothered. Whatever I hear I hear, whatever I don't, I'll find out when I buy it.

I may be a little OT, but it feels so lame to open a new thread for a silly post like this one.
Well, the fact is that I never got into Smash Bros. and all of my friends make fun of me when we play: I'm generally watching the wrong part of the screen, and my character is being rudely pwned in another place of the gamefield.
But it's a great game, I always loved it, even if I was far from being an average player.
So during this weekend I asked a friend of mine to lend me Melee to train myself and being something more than a sparring partner when Brawl is released.
Of course I'm enjoying it a lot, and I'm finally understanding the moves, the times, and all the game mechanics.
Ok, it was just to say: watch out for a new challenger (me), hope I'll be good enough for taunting all of you in Brawl.
Happy waiting, I still have ALL Melee to have fun with (...he, he, bad guy I am...)

Instead, he uses the three Pokémon with him—Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard—to do the fighting for him.

He needs to use his three Pokémon to fight. So the only ones who fight directly are the Pokémon.
I guess you could say using this character is like playing three for the price of one!
And the Pokémon Trainer uses a special move called Pokémon Change to switch between them.

They swap out in a set order: Squirtle→Ivysaur→Charizard.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/pokemon_trainer/pokemon_trainer_070813i.jpg
They all share the same damage meter, so they don’t recover from damage during Pokémon Change. But they also have another stat, which you might call stamina.
If you keep fighting with the same Pokémon, or if you change them out too often, it’s not so good for the Pokémon.
If you want to be a good Pokémon Trainer, you’ll need to learn these kinds of ins and outs.

This has been THE WORST UPDATE WEEK EVER on the Dojo in my opinion. Have you seen the latest?
"I’d like to introduce a new collection element to the game—stickers.
Yes, the ones you slap on your notebook or skateboard or whatever. Stickers.

This...is a sticker.
Stickers are easier to get a hold of than trophies. Just play the game and you’ll start to earn them as rewards.

I like the look of the stickers, kinda like the trophies except you can play about with them and create stuff
this has been a great week so far IMO, an awesome new character, a new assist trophy and a new game mode added, none of the "here's one special move of one of the characters" we tend to get
i hope they just reveal metaknight, snake, peach and that mario kart looking track soon, then it will be all new after that

18th August 2007, 04:12 PM
I'm crossing my fingers for Ridley from Metroid and Simon Belmont from Castlevania. Of course, 3rd party characters like Simon are not very likely, but this is wishful thinking after all!

18th August 2007, 04:53 PM
Those Chrono picks you posted look like that independant fan project when some people were trying to remake Chrono Trigger in 3d. They did a fantastic job before they got the **** beat out of their project by various companies. I would like to see Poo from Earthbound/Mother 2.
SKTTR
18th August 2007, 05:10 PM
There's a good chance of 3rd Party characters coming.
Even if they're not annoucned yet,
Sonic, Bomberman and Mega Man are most likely to join.
I hope for a second MOTHER character.
Just to have more Earthbound stuff (arenas and music) in SSBB.
Additional, more people get to know this series,
and it increases the chance that Nintendo eventually translates MOTHER3 at last.
The new one should be Flint http://walkthrough.starmen.net/mother3/image/characters/flint.png from MOTHER3. Yes, a cowboy is what's missing in Smash Bros :D

18th August 2007, 05:33 PM
I'm kind of hoping "Mii" will be a character, when you select it, you get to pick one of the Miis you made.
I want to beat up Mario...with myself!
Pit 42
18th August 2007, 05:34 PM
Captain Olimar, Diddy Kong and Sonic seem likely to me, but for now they'll remain as wishful thinking.
The shoemaker
18th August 2007, 05:43 PM
Well What I want is kinda what mad_doggie wants. i wanna use miis but i hope they suck. well no i mean i hope you can make your own character like a mii. but at first they suck so the more you fight with them the stronger they get. and if you play the games lots you get points witch you can use to upgrade your Mii.
SKTTR
18th August 2007, 07:27 PM
3rd parties that are deep in touch with Nintendo
Would be great if everyone of them is sending one of their mascots into the fight.
Konami : Solid Snake (confirmed)
Sega: Sonic (strong rumor)
Hudson: Bomberman (strong rumor)
Capcom: Megaman (strong rumor) or even Ryu from Street Fighter! lol
Namco: Pacman maybe ;) Or Mitsurugi from Soul Calibur :D
Oh yes, I'd also like to see Little Mac from Punch-Out!!
Shortay
18th August 2007, 11:39 PM
Even though there's less than a 1% chance, I think Bonk would be a fantastic character to include. His headbutting would be a great attack, and hid Final Smash/Special Move could be where he becomes invincible and/or gains improved attack when he obtains those little hunks of meat. And graphically improved Bonk would look great too, even though there's no chance... :(:(
Also I'd really like Sonic to be included, that would be really cool.

I'm still hoping that they'll announce Sonic as a playable character just before release. I also like the idea of importing your Mii as a character.

19th August 2007, 08:52 PM
Miis are a great idea. That way, if someone whines about some impossible character not being in Brawl, they can always make that character.
mixer152
20th August 2007, 03:09 PM
Sonic & Knuckles please, not tails. Icecap or hydrocity zone as the levels, the possiblitys are amazing.
I dont think any street fighter characters would be right at all tho.
Toad, and make Luigi less gay.. wtf

Ah yes, good ol Yasunori-san. Although, his involvement with Brawl's music just doesn't cut it for me. I would love for Crono to be in the game but, the chances are against him. Well, lets just hope Will from Illusion of Gaia (Nintendo of America published) makes it! I actually did like Illusion of Gaia better anyway, sorry.

I've posted this a couple of weeks ago in a couple of different posts but I would love to see Little Mac. I don't want 3rd party characters. I always thought it was great that Nintendo made this game where you can fight using just Nintendo created characters. It's cool when Nintendo uses characters that I really didn't know. For example: Ness, Ice Climbers, and Marth/Roy. I'm not excited to use Solid Snake. We better get an original Wii Metal Gear game out of this deal, and I'm not talking about another port.

I saqw somewhere that there was 70 or so weeks until Decemeber 3rd, but I don't think there'll be that many characters.
Maybe 70 week until next December 2008. It's about 14-15 till December. I doubt there will be 30 more characters added to the roster. I wouldn't be surprised if there are only 10 or less characters left to be added.

It's not about looks.
You know there are "clones".. Dr. Mario / Mario - Pichu /Pikachu etc.
and then there's chars, that look close to each other:
Marth / Ike.
Jigglypuff / Kirby
DK / Diddy
and Pit / Crono --- they're different enough.
They just have the same hairstyle and that's all.
Well, I don't have much hopes up for Crono,
but IF Nintendo is gonna make dreams true, this would be the most outstanding secret character.

I support 3rd Party support. ^^
Yes, there should be more of everything. Of course much more Nintendo related characters.
But I like the idea...
With Solid Snake, Goemon, Belmont, Sonic, Megaman, Chun-Li, Crono, Bomberman, Bonk, Pacman and Mitsurugi...
After all, it would be a better and bigger game and more people would like to get it!
But 3rd party characters should always be secret, but that's imo.

It'd be sweet but probably won't happen. He just composed the music for Chrono Trigger. He didn't create the game or characters. Square owns all the rights to that and they would have to license the character out to Nintendo in order for anyone from the game to make an appearance in Brawl.

I know but each character has their own stage, right?
The only people we know that are working on SSBB are the musicians.
A lot of the people that are on that list compose the music for that stage because they composed the music for that game. And I don't believe he worked on previous Smash Bros. So what else would he compose?
Not Xenogears, that PS1.
Those are really his main and only works.

Four Special Move Types
The actions that really define the personality of each character are special moves! In Brawl, you can do four different moves with just one button and different directional tilts on the Control Stick.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/howto/basic/images/basic05/basic05_070828.jpg
These are the four types. Control for each is quite simple.
<Standard special moves>
Many of these are basic attacks, like the firing of a weapon.
(Normal Special Move: Mach Tornado)
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/howto/basic/images/basic05/basic05_070828a-l.jpg
<Side special moves>
(Side Special Move: Triple Dash)
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/howto/basic/images/basic05/basic05_070828b-l.jpg
These are bold attacks that launch in the direction you tilt the stick.
Jonno
28th August 2007, 10:02 PM
<Up special moves>
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/howto/basic/images/basic05/basic05_070828c-l.jpg
These are crucial. They’re used to do high jumps and for recovering when you’re falling off the stage.
(Up Special Move: Shuttle Loop)
<Down special moves>
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/howto/basic/images/basic05/basic05_070828d-l.jpg
Many of these do unusual things, like reflect enemy attacks.
(Down Special Move: Dimensional Cape)
Our model was Meta Knight.
To enjoy more of the depth of special moves, try holding the button down longer to charge up attacks, rapidly pressing the button repeatedly, or tilting the Control Stick while doing the moves. You might also want to try them in midair.
Surprisingly, there’s a variety of hidden uses for many of them.

Well, I find it very far fetched that the Pokemon Trainer would be playable from the start. They would have to seriously nerf Charizard for that. Although, look what happened to Kirby in his SSBM incarnation compared to his god tier SSB one!

29th August 2007, 03:48 PM
The Pokémon Trainer commands three types of Pokémon. His down special move is a Pokémon Change (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/pokemon_trainer.html#pokemon_change), so each Pokémon has three special moves!
That’s nine in all. Amazing!
<Squirtle Up Special Move: Waterfall>

Squirtle splashes up the water torrent.
<Squirtle Side Special Move: Withdraw>
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/pokemon_trainer/pokemon_trainer_070829b.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/pokemon_trainer/pokemon_trainer_070829b-l.jpg)
Is this the turtle’s so-called shell? It slides along the ground.
<Ivysaur Standard Special Move: Bullet Seed>
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/pokemon_trainer/pokemon_trainer_070829c.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/pokemon_trainer/pokemon_trainer_070829c-l.jpg)
It fires a rapid seed barrage straight up in the air!
<Ivysaur Up Special Move: Vine Whip>

We just had to have this. It is Charizard, after all.

29th August 2007, 07:05 PM
Found this on NSider and decided to post it here and on GameFaqs...
All bosses, CAN be programmed to be playable. Period. Think I am an idiot, well read on...
The thing with bosses, is that bosses are like characters in almost every way. The exception? They are not made playable for a reason. So far, here is what we are sure caused them not to be playable of the three known bosses from games:
Crazy/Master Hand: Self-explanatory. It can fly, and cannot be beaten by normal means (or percentage).
Giga Bowser: Size. If he was resized however, it would be just like Bowser, therefore no point in resizing him.
Petey Pirahna: Moves use the cages, causing some moveset issues. Some size issues too. Also, to our knowledge, Petey may not be defeated by normal means.
HOWEVER, that does not mean they are not playable. It means that you cannot play as them without using the, well, they you-know-what (AR). Using AR, at least in Melee, allowed you to play as each respective boss. This knowledge is pratically telling us that, but applying a script that allows them to be controlled with the controller (which is likely a universal/general script, not a specific one). The point is, even though the method wasn't legal, they could be played via debug menu.
Which brings me to my next point. Don't bother proving that they are a boss in an attempt to prove they are NOT playable. Making a boss into a character is so easy, it takes hardly any development time. It would be better to prove that they can ONLY be a boss, like by adnormal means of defeating it (IE requires stamina). Also, keep in mind what can be changed. Statistics (IE, weight, power, etc.), are well, just that. Statistics. They are very easy to change.
So the problem isn't if they are a boss, but is if they can function as a playable character. If they CAN function as a playable character, Sakurai is missing an incredibly quick and easy method of making a character playable. So, just keep in mind, if a boss can also function as a playable character (don't say that they weigh too much and take barely any recoil or overpowered, or other statistics, they can be changed), they will likely be a playable character. It isn't may not be because they are significant enough or anything, it is because the oppurtunity if avaliable for them.
The best example I could think of is the Black Knight from Path of Radiance. Now, we can pretty much agree he is not significant enough to get in. BUT, if he is made into a boss, his chances rose from near nothing to near-garunteed. Why? He won't be bigger than Bowser obviously, and if weight (or lack of recoil) or power issues exist, they can be adjusted. Just apply the script that allows him to be playable, and just make him unlockable after the boss fight. Boom, within an hour probably you made a boss into a playable character.
So, in other words, any boss CAN be playable. The problem comes down to is if there is another reason that makes them not a likely addition. So stop saying "Ridley can't be in Brawl because he has a boss music." Go with the traditional (and admit annoying, and easily countered) he is too big, because that is what matters. Not that the may be a boss, but that he cannot be playable due to size (disclaimer: I believe that Ridley can be playable, and that size is not an issue, but I am just proving a point that the song is useless proof). Or find osmething more intelligent. Generally, just prove that Sakurai won't make them playable for XYZ reason. Saying that they are a boss (via speculation, not confirmation) doesn't cut it, because that fact in isolation it is meaningless and proves nothing.

29th August 2007, 08:34 PM
OK. But if we could play with Giga Bowser (ok, we will) in Melee, facing that boss on adventure wouldn´t be so "special". Some bosses just have to be bosses. Period.

However Sonic & Knuckles (not together) would be so SICK. The possibility for stages are endless.
Knuckles could have the Lava Reef Zone. 1) It would look sick. 2) The music owns.
Sonic could have Icecap Zone/Hydrocity Zone for the same reasons.
Mario - Underground from the 2d Mario games
Luigi - Luigi's Mansion
Earthworm Jim - Buttville (Queen Slug for a butt can appear in the background in a similar fashion to the Brinstar depths design)
Bowser - any bowser castle from the 2d games, or a Bowser castle from the Mario Kart games

I think they would use the first level of Sonic as I believe it is its "trademark level". What is it? Green Hill or something? I don't play much Sonic. Oh, and of course they would remix the theme to that level.
As for Earthworm Jim at Buttville, that would pretty much be a dream come true. Considering he has an obvious moveset (head whip, booger pack, blaster, head spin for slow decent) it would be epic. But... It's just hard to see that happening :(

In the WarioWare games, you must master a variety of microgames in 5 seconds, making them the fastest and shortest games ever. You might want to look into it in more detail.

Also, if the shell breaks and a peanut pops out, you can apparently eat the peanut.

You recover a little damage when you eat it. Is this for real?

SEPTEMBER 5, Meta Knight
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/metaknight/metaknight.jpgIt's Meta Knight, whose introduction was delayed for some reason. He's Kirby's...rival?
Despite being almost all head, his mask and cape exude coolness. He overwhelms enemies with his mach-speed sword!

Pokémon Stadium 2
The previous game, Super Smash Bros. Melee, featured Pokémon Stadium, but it’s been upgraded for this game into Pokémon Stadium 2.
This time around, you’ll see guest Pokémon appearing in the background.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage11/stage11_070906a-l.jpg
Ordinarily, it’s a fairly orthodox stage when nothing special is happening.
But as time passes, the terrain transforms into four different types:
"Electric," "Ground," "Flying," and "Ice."
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage11/stage11_070906b-l.jpg
When it transforms into Ice, things get extremely slippery!
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage11/stage11_070906c-l.jpg
A mountain of earth appears in the middle of the screen for the Ground stage!
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage11/stage11_070906d-l.jpg
On the Flying stage, everyone’s jump abilities get boosted!
For these four transformations, we’ve chosen types that were not present in Melee.
Terrain that changes suddenly makes fights excitingly unpredictable.

Mario: Special Moves

Hose ‘em down! Blast those enemies away.
It does absolutely no damage—it’s just for sending opponents great distances. You can even charge it up while shielding. It’s best used in critical moments.
Huh? What happened to the down special move he’s had up until now—the Mario Tornado?
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/mario/mario_070906d.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/mario/mario_070906d-l.jpg)
He still seems to have this move, though.
Eh? Is it a normal attack?!
--Jonno's Comment Corner!--
*Pokemon Stadium 2: Awesome, my second favorite stage yet.
*Mario Special Moves: This F.L.U.D.D. move actually gives me a reason to use Mario after one time! Although, Link will still be my main starter UNLESS Marth is a starter in Brawl.

So what you're trying to say is that there is a 72.5% chance that all of those characters will be in Brawl? You're dreaming too much:D. Like I said, I would be willing to bet that Ike will be the only playable character from the FE series. I don't even think that half of the characters you listed above will even be in the game period.....not even in the background. Chances of me being right = 90%.

No I'm not dreaming too much. Did I say all will be in? If there chances are the same, well then, they will have to compete for the spot, wouldn't they? You misunderstood me. :p Although, its sort of my fault for not elaborating. :(

I wouldn't mind at all if there was only Ike. He is my favorite game character. :D
If there was only one FE character however... why not go like this?

Ike (because he is confirmed)
Marth (because he was in SSBM)
Roy (because he was in SSBM)
And why didn't you even mention him? Sothe
He is the leader in the new Fire Emblem for Wii and he was one of the most popular characters in Fire Emblem for Gamecube!

Sothe was actually the one of the main lords in Radiant Dawn. Just read up HERE:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_characters_in_Fire_Emblem:_Radiant_Dawn
If one has to be considered the main, I would say its Ike. Although since hes confirmed, I'll bring up Micaiah who is the leader of the Dawn Group. Sothe is the second-in-command of that group.

TRIPLE FRIDAY UPDATE!
September 7, 2007
MY MUSIC
With the "My Music" feature, you can enjoy the music of our many musicians any way you like. Choose freely from our diverse selection of famous songs!
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/images/music08/music08_070907a-l.jpg
This is "My Music" in action!
The battle stages of Super Smash Bros. Brawl feature a diverse line-up of game worlds. For example, there are stages based on the Mario universe.
Basically, there is only one song that plays on each stage. But even among the myriad songs of the Mario universe, people probably have different favorites.
Plus, while there may be people who stepped into the Mario universe in the original Nintendo Entertainment System days, surely there are some who first experienced Mario on the Nintendo DS.
With that in mind, I think it’s a bit of a waste to limit that whole universe to just one song.
So we’ve prepared many songs and will let you choose the likelihood that any given song will be played.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/images/music08/music08_070907b-l.jpg
This is "My Music" for Delfino Plaza.
For songs you’re particularly fond of, you can increase the likelihood those songs will appear. Then, when you brawl on that stage, the chance of your preferred songs being played increases.
Of course, if you want to, you can limit a stage to only one song, or make every song in the game equally likely to appear.
I’ve asked our reputable list of musicians (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/music01.html) to provide many songs for this particular game. But that’s certainly not because I just wanted to cover all these songs.
I’ve asked them to choose the songs that match their personalities and tastes!
Here you will find the best of the best—something you can very rarely get a chance to savor.
If your motivation behind your song selections is simply because you like them, then that’s just fine. Choose your settings as you like.
Just so you know, there may be songs from other games that are left as is, without any new arrangement.
Oh, and by the way, there’s an item in the game called a CD.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/images/music08/music08_070907c-l.jpg
This is a CD.
Regardless of which mode you’re playing, if you see one of these, be absolutely sure to grab it. If you want to know why, it’s because CDs are the way you add to your music selection.

This is the song for Pokémon Stadium. Some games in the series call this song "Gym." We’ve changed the arrangement some from the original Pokémon Stadium, transforming this into a new song.

Seriously?! To have so many of these individuals providing music for a single work may very well be an historic event in the history of video-game music!
It's almost unthinkable!
Of course, Smash will let you enjoy music from a wide variety of Nintendo games.
A number of individuals have put their touch on these arrangements.
Using the game music that has entertained so many as the base for new arrangements by so many famed musicians... Not too shabby, eh?
Here on Smash Bros. Dojo, we will share that music with you through occasional trial listening. Since this is my first post, I thought I would give you an arrangement of the song you probably heard most often in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Menu 1.
Motoi Sakuraba headed up that arrangement!
"Menu 1" Source: Super Smash Bros. Melee (1:22)

We've asked our group of arrangement supervisors to listen to an elite selection of Nintendo music and asked them to arrange several of their favorite songs...which means there will be quite a number of songs.
You'll have to look forward to which ones.

Battleship Halberd
It has arrived! The Battleship Halberd! It’s Meta Knight’s battleship...isn’t it?
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage12/stage12_070912a.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage12/stage12_070912a-l.jpg)
This warship’s bow is dazzling!
This stage begins in a hangar on the high seas. The platform follows the Halberd as it departs.

Ooooh. It’s so dynamic!
Eventually, you land on the ship’s deck.

What you see in the background is a double-barreled battery. With an arm.
Use extreme caution near the double-barreled battery! It launches beams and missiles and even attacks with its arm.

Dodge it well and try to make it hit your foe!
The Battleship Halberd appears not only in multiplayer Brawl stages, but also plays a very important role in The Subspace Emissary. That role is something you’ll have to look forward to.

Special Brawl
What is Special Brawl?!
This is a mode that lets you apply special rules to normal brawls to customize your favorite ways to play!
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various04/various04_070913a.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various04/various04_070913a-l.jpg)
This is the Special Brawl Screen!
As you can see, you can apply a variety of rules at the same time. Before, you could only choose one, like Giant Melee, so this is a pretty cool step forward.
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various04/various04_070913b.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various04/various04_070913b-l.jpg)
First, let’s try putting on the Bunny Hood.

And then add metal...
When you do this, you apply that characteristic from the start of the match to the end.
You can see the effects on the side of the screen, which is kind of fun. And getting the caption up above is also nice.

Brawl WILL be the best video game of all time, and ICs inclusion has just got me thinking that if the developers really didn't have enough space for characters then they would've have included ICs. Therefore, we should have many more characters to come. Here's to hoping at least 40.

I did. I lost the first time as Jigglypuff so I changed to Marth, replayed the Adventure Mode, and kicked some ass.
Also, I played as Jiggs again recently because I remembered his sleepy fire thing special move and KO'd Giga Bowser in two hits.

"This game supports Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. If you connect your Wii to the Internet, you can enjoy linked battles with distant people!
For details, click here (http://www.nintendowifi.com/).
But because this form of communication is greatly affected by the distance between you and your opponent, your brawls may not run smoothly if you’re really far apart—like, for instance, if you’re connecting between Japan and America.
The more distant you are, the worse your connection becomes, and the slower it feels. I apologize, but I hope you understand.

This is the main menu for Wi-Fi!
There are two primary connection methods. The names of these methods are "With Friends" and "With Anyone." The menus and structures of each method are pretty different.

I actually think it will seem as good, which is a scary thought alltogether. But realisticly, everyone pretty much knows what to expect from SSBB, since its gameplay is the same as Melee, but with just more characters, items, modes and other additional content. And SmashBros.com is telling us exactly what these additions are. People hype about it, but they aren't hyping over fantasies and hopes but over fact, things that'll be exactly the same on the disc this december (or... Q1 08 for EU grrr:mad:).

I was able to check the update site out this morning so I got a chance to see Snake. After checking him out and seeing his moves I can say that I could care less if he were in the game. In my opinion, he doesn't fit in. His missle move sounds dumb. I might have said this before, but I think Nintendo should have told Hideo Kojima to take a flying leap! Where is the Wii's Metal Gear Solid 4????? Nintendo hooks Hideo up and in return gets a couple of ports that were released on other systems a year earlier:confused:
dk_xcalibur
21st September 2007, 03:58 PM
Next to these revealed projects, Kojima and his team are also working on a game for the Wii (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii) console. After the revelation of the controller, Kojima showed interest and excitement about its possibilities and later stated that he will be making a game to utilize its features specifically for the Wii. No further details have been revealed on this project. It is possible that this is the aforementioned Project 'S'. Kojima has stated that he would rather make a game for the Wii rather than continue on with MGS4.
Kojima personally requested for Solid Snake to appear in Super Smash Bros. Melee (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Smash_Bros._Melee), and got his chance with the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Brawl (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Smash_Bros._Brawl) for Nintendo's Wii (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii) console (the former could not have been done due to the fact that Melee was already far in production at the time of the request). It is confirmed that he will be working on Snake's stage for SSBB. He commented on the game after playing a build of it with the game's director (Masahiro Sakurai (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masahiro_Sakurai)) and said that if it were to be released now, it would sell millions.
After reading the above, I changed my mind about my earlier comments. I still do not believe Snake fits in though.

....Snake's ok I guess. But I wish Kojima had asked for Django & Sabata to be there as well....they just seem more Nintendo-ey. They could've had a stage set in that vampire city....:p

I've never played a metal gear game...what does Snake actually do anyway?

Subspace Generals could very well happen... as for the emissary, I don't think it is Meta-Knight. I believe it is really the Ancient Minister, forcing others to work for his master's cause. (Meta, Petey etc.) The master, its too obvious isn't it?

Anyhow, anyone hear about Lucas being in? He is not too intersting in my opinion but Mother has never really been too exciting to me... here's to another character next week! Hopefully it'll be a better newcomer! Also, Lucas was an obvious choice but, will he replace Ness due to that ominous "Will he even surpass Ness?" We don't know if it means Ness will be nerfed in this game and Lucas will be unlockable or if it means "Will he even surpass Ness... whom was in the older version of Smash?"

8th October 2007, 10:08 PM
Here is my take on things: (originally posted this on another forum)
Kirby + Peach or Zelda:
Kirby brakes one of the Petey's cages, freeing one of two princesses, obviously Peach or Zelda. These two team up to look for the canon-balled away Mario.
Mario + Pit:
Mario is still flying while Pit is flying to the arena and eventually hits Pit, sending them both into Skyworld. At Skyworld, they find that the Subspace Army has heard of Palutena's directions.
Link + Yoshi:
Before the Subspace Army reached the Arena, Yoshi and Link somehow team up. Link goes through the dirt tunnel, (under the well perhaps?) defeats a Subspace general, and saves Yoshi. (probably by breaking a cage) This also explains them watching the Halberd after it engulfed the arena in Subspace; they obviously followed it!
Samus + Meta Knight:
Fox is sent a distress call from the Arena right when it is being engulfed, as does Samus. They make chase after the Halberd right around the time after Link and Yoshi see it at the hilltop. Fox is eventually shot down but Samus boards the Halberd. She is captured by the Ancient Minister, who forces Meta Knight to battle her. She defeats Meta Knight and knocks his senses back into him. The two then attempt to fly away in Samus's ship, only to find that it is out of fuel. Samus's ship crashes to the ground, leaving them stranded and having to find their way back to civilization, only to find more of the Subspace Army.
Fox + Pikachu:
Fox is shot down into Kanto, where he helps Pikachu by defeating the Subspace Army members in the area.
Ice Climbers + The Other Princess:
The Halberd lands on Icicle Mountain and the Ice Climbers investigate. They are eventually caught and sent into a prison cell in the Halberd, where they find the other princess. These three start out the level smashing down the cell door. After the door is smashed down, alarms sound off and they have to fight their way to the deck. On the deck they find another K Rool guarding a flying ship. Once K Rool is defeated, the three all fly far away from the Halberd. There are other characters in other cells located throughout the Halberd. If you save these characters, you will obtain their trophies when you beat this level.
Donkey Kong + Bowser + Diddy Kong:
DK, Diddy, and Bowser have no choice but to work together in their respective world as three subspace generals, King Boo, The Black Knight, and Vaati (Eye Form) are now controlling the area.
Wario + Lucas:
Wario is riding through the desert on his bike like in the first trailer and Lucas is also riding in the desert on the Saturn Runner with Boney the dog. Wario speeds under the Saturn Runner, making it nervous, and eventually falling over on top of Wario's bike. Wario and the others are sent flying a few feet and says "HEY! YOU IDIOT!" and the two get into an argument. Pokey then falls from the sky. His mech's foot stabs Wario's bike, making it explode. Wario yells "MAMA MIA!" and runs after Pokey. After running a few feet after Pokey, he started noticing that it was too exhausting to chase after Pokey on his own two feet. He runs the Saturn Runner and kicks its side, making it start running with him, Lucas, and Boney on board. Boney doesn't fight but he does appear as an assist trophy once you beat the level.
Ike + Snake:
The Halberd is attacking Tellius, leaving Ike and the Greil Mercenaries fighting the Subspace Army. Snake jumps down from the Halberd, challenging Ike to a battle. Ike wins and Snake commends him, offering to join him in his battle against his old master. Ike obviously accepts and the two fly off into Shadow Moses by holding onto Snake's cypher as it floats forward. Snake moans "This is going to be a long trip... have any lizard?"
Pokemon Trainer + Jigglypuff:
Pokemon Trainer finds Jigglypuff hiding in a corner. Jigglypuff moans and Pokemon Trainer sprays some potion on it, restoring its strength. The Jigglypuff now follows Pokemon Trainer wherever he goes.
