Thanks for post this info. I get blocked while at work and my internet is down until this September at home.

[Balrog]

So I'm officially back, and will continue to update this thread. Thanks for tuning in.

[Pit 42]

Anyone else a little annoyed that they keep posting the REALLY obvious character choices? I mean, everyone pretty much knew that DK, Yoshi, and Bowser were going to return...

[Balrog]

Suspense. Ninty wouldn't be bland!

Yer that really brings my p*ss to a boil

[SKTTR]

come on now.

Ike is a NEW CHALLENGER!

www.smashbros.com

[Pit 42]

I guess I spoke too soon.



Ike wil probably be my third character of choice, after Pit and Link.

[Jonno]

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?

[Pit 42]

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. ).

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...

[Jonno]

I'm just assuming the next confirmed newbie will be Diddy Kong or Krystal. Just going with Sakurai's interest and the japanese gamers' most suggested.

They'd have to evenutally. Besides, this lets us see their new looks. ;D

It's also nice to know that they will definately return

[kelvingreen]

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.

[Mendez]

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 feel that way too. But I've saved it as a bookmark and I cant resist the temptation to check the site on a daily basis.. haha

[Dan]

I'm a little disappointed that there are still no real details about Meta Knight...

[neuzd]

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...)

[Pit 42]

Have you guys seen the new challenger? 'Pokemon Trainer'.

And I thought all the Brawl characters would be unique. *sighs*

[Jonno]

Yeah. At first I was a little *.* but then I got into the idea. My second main most likely.

[dk_xcalibur]

I actually really like this post. I'm blocked at work and my internet is down at home so I rely on what I hear here. I think the Pokemon Trainer would be cool if his special moves are throwing out pokemon for help.

Pokémon Trainer
No way! The Pokémon Trainer has finally arrived. And it looks like he doesn’t do his fighting directly.
Instead, he uses the three Pokémon with him—Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard—to do the fighting for him.

[dk_xcalibur]

Thank you very much! I'm even more pumped for this game. I can't wait to give the trainer a try.

[Jonno]

And here are the several other pics I have not posted here yet:

[Jonno]

POKEMON CHANGE!
The Pokémon Trainer watches froThe Pokémon Trainer watches from the background.

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.


<Down Special Move: Pokémon Change>

Good job, Ivysaur! Come back!

The returning Pokémon tags the next Pokémon.

Charizard, I choose you!

[Jonno]

They swap out in a set order: Squirtle→Ivysaur→Charizard.

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.

[kelvingreen]

Surely the Trainer should be able to have some kind of effect on Pikachu?

[flyingdutchman]

God all of this is driving me nuts!!! I dont know what to belive or not, I think I will just have to wait for launch to find out about the game.

Hahahaha, confusing isn't it?

[Pit 42]

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.

Stickers get filed away in your album.

There are big ones and small ones, all with different kinds of artwork. There’s a ton of variety."

There you have it. Sakurai thinks all smashers are babies.

[SKTTR]

i'm gonna be the first with a complete sticker album!

[RandomDave]

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

[enjoievan]

Post whatever you hope is in SSBB.

Me, well...


Crono



He would be perfect for SSBB. A great swordsman.

Final Smash: Luminaire



Who do you guys want?

[Dan]

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!

[Spore]

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]

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 from MOTHER3. Yes, a cowboy is what's missing in Smash Bros

[Mad_Doggie]

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]

Captain Olimar, Diddy Kong and Sonic seem likely to me, but for now they'll remain as wishful thinking.

[The shoemaker]

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.
