Super Smash Bros.: Brawl

[Toomai]

Looks like stickers are just like Paper Mario's badges. So far, they can do the following things:

• Launch Power + (KO power)
• Launch Resistance + (weight)
• Attack + (Arm, Leg, Slash, Magic, Weapon, Flame, Electric)
• Resistance + (defense)(same categories as Attack +)

And I wonder why stickers don't stack? Probably so you can't put tons of [Leg] Attack + on one dude and have him KO everything in one kick.

Zelda's Final Smash...not much to say about it, although it's neat that Sheik's version of it is at least slightly different. (And the Light Arrow is WAY over-exaggerated, especially to those not evil.) Here's hoping that players will develop a balance between the two characters instead of immediately switching to Sheik. (Or choosing her at the start)

[shadowgoomba]

Manaphy Poke`mon, which switches the bodies of you and your opponent. I personally think that it is a very clever idea. Also a link, but that's nothing.

News flash from www.brawlcentral.com: First hard-copy leak.

[shadowgoomba]

That's not true; Krystal was that. But, yeah, I was just going to post that! Lucario, Jigglypuff, AND even Ness. Awesome.

[PDoogan]

They all seem like reasonalbe characters. Although Lucas has stolen most of Ness's moves, so I don't know how they're going to work around that.

[shadowgoomba]

Ness is to Lucas as Luigi is to Mario. There actually is a reason why they are similar, and that is because Lucas is essentially the Ness of Mother 3. I don't mind similar characters if there is actually a reason for them to be similar. (Although Lucas can't actually learn any of his B moves in Mother 3 and Ness can only learn PSI Magnet) Anyway, retro Mario stage with some music. It's actually two stages in one, which is interesting.

[Toomai]

Those brick blocks better be breakable. Why do none of the screenshots show broken blocks?

[shadowgoomba]

I'm sure they will be. They were in Melee, right?

[PDoogan]

I like the MK stage, but since when is world 1-1 in the desert?

[Rex]

Because the formerly great mushroom kingdom has been reduced to ruins by all the battles.

P.S. Sakurai SAID lucas has different standered moves.

[shadowgoomba]

My point exactly. They'll be similar, but not identical. Today's update was nothing special. Sort of useful if you want to see how fast Wi-Fi runs, I suppose.

[shadowgoomba]

Some demos and a few small things. The former's not bad if you want to experience the game for the first time. Although I've plsyed all of them except for the different ones on the Japanese site.

[shadowgoomba]

If this doesn't excite this board, I don't know what will! Falco, Captain Falcon, Ganondorf, Luigi, Marth, Mr. Game & Watch, and R.O.B. all confirmed! But Ridley's a boss, sadly. And for doubters, pics of Lucario and Ness!

[Rex]

You've forgotten toon link, from wind waker and phanton hourglass.

[shadowgoomba]

It's not that I forgot; I didn't know. But that's cool as well!

[Toomai]

Hero of Winds Link confirmed? *looks around teh internets* Well he did good at hiding from most of the other leaks. Just one thing though. "Toon Link"? That's almost as stupid as some attack names (examples: Yoshi Bomb, Great Aether, Mario Finale, Flying Slam, etc).

[Rex]

Here's a pic if you want proof.

[shadowgoomba]

I suppose they named him that because his various other names (Hero of Winds, Cell-Shaded Link, Wind Waker Link) would be too wordy. Not to mention, they would have to call the other Link Hero of Twilight or something. And there is the possibility it will be changed for American audiences.

[shadowgoomba]

Wolf O'Donnel leaked and through the update today, it's assumed that we can't start as Zero Suit Samus. (Sakurai mentioned Zelda and Poke'mon Trainer, but not her)
