SSBB Thread: IT'S OUT!!!!!!!!!!
 

Dear people of the Video Game section,

In this internet message board topic you may discuss the upcoming video game 'Super Smash Bros. Brawl' -commonly abbreviated as 'SSBB' and affectionately known as simply Brawl- for the Nintendo 'Wii' system.

Please refer to this web page for daily weekday updates regarding SSBB and related matters.

Sincerely,

~ Mecha D. Cow

Cool, but I have to ask; What's the D. stand for?!

Nothing, but it looks fancy, doesn't it?

Anyone else kind of disappointed that it looks that Ike has replaced Marth? I really wish they'd just bring everyone back from Melee but it doesn't look like that'll happen.

I assumed they would, they did in the last game. Aw well, how many anime swordsman does this game really need?

I'd be fine with just keeping Marth and Roy. Preferably Marth though, Roy was total garbage.

All new threads must exist for a period of one week before gaining sticky status.


Yeah, I'm being all official and stuff. H2rdc0r3 SPAMMAGE!!

What gives you the impression that Ike has replaced Marth?

Also, could someone sticky the thread? :3

After the update they just posted......yeah, sticked.


Palutena!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SIDE-SCROLLING ACTION GAME!!!!!!!

PEACH IS HOT!!!!!!!!!!!

MEGATON

I'm certainly not surprised by this based on Melee's adventure mode. Hopefully it really will be fleshed out enough to stand on it's own. The mentioning of "character development" is welcome too, since the 2 previous games have been pretty much devoid of any sort of story line. It will be interesting to see what comes from this.

On another note, this is probably the biggest updated they've done so far (in regards to quantity). Past few days have been pretty rewarding.

That video was fantastic till Zelda made that teleport move which looked just ridiculous (yeah, I'm being a bitch).

Palutnea is all that matters to me. Sorry, but I've been wanting that since they dropped Pit in the original trailer.

On to other business. Though I still don't think they'll drop the online mode (it would probably be simple, but passable), I would willingly trade it in for a full-on sidescrolling platformer contained in the adventure mode. Its what I dreamed of since rush-job Melee showed what was possible.

Character development? This should be good. :lol:

Quite an awesome update, especially because they snuck Peach in there as well. Also note how it explains that weird update from a while back, so now I can rest easy. :D

As for Ike, it's possible that he's a replacement for Marth, but it's more likely that he's taking Roy's place. I'm pretty sure Roy was only added to Melee to pimp the then-upcoming Fire Emblem GBA game, after all. As long as there's still a character that plays like Marth I don't care either way.

*E* What the hell? Apparently Eji Aonuma (Current producer of the Zelda series) has confirmed Ganondorf...and Sheik for Brawl. Ganondorf was kind of a given, but Sheik is unexpected (And weird). Mini-Megaton?

Yeah, when I saw this I was like "Now Mecha should be happy". :lol:
But yeah, it looks kick-ass.

Hopefully Ganondorf won't be a clone anymore. Though Sheik is definitely going to be nerfed. Also, I would NEVER trade online play for the adventure mode they described. Online play is everything to me in Brawl, it'll give it infinite replay for me if I have an unlimited amount of opponents.

So how about that smoke bomb? These new items look like they're gonna be a riot.

-=Holds up a tape recorder to his face=- Note to self: turn off smoke bomb.

Have fun playing using tournament rules on only Battlefield and Final Destination with all the items and Final Smashes turned off.

n00b.

Ike's special moves.

His up special is very reminiscent of Kirby's. It also states that he's a heavy character. Definitely not a Marth clone.

What interests me more is the fact heavy character won't always flinch now. Maybe Bowser will have a chance of being good.

Do you actually play with items on? If so you're the noob. Items make luck a factor and gives fast characters an advantage. That pretty much kills the point of playing. Also, tournaments use a lot more than FD and Battlefield. In MLG rules I believe only 9 stages are totally banned. There are 6 "neutral" stages which are used for the first round then the loser of the previous match can pick any stage except the 9 banned stages. Generally when I play Melee with my friends we just do the neutral stages though.

^^ See that post? That's what I was talkling about.

I don't play Smash Bros. for keeps. I'm not going to follow tournament rules. I know a few friends who play the game following MLG rules like you do, and I can play with them. I can hold my own as well. I never win, but I never loose by a heavy margin. Whenever I'm away from them though, I play with all the crap turned on, and I play on whatever the hell stage I want. Why?

Because its not boring. MLG rules are boring as hell. What is the point of the game? Smash Bros. is not Street Fighter, and people need to quit pretending it is. Its not a fighting game. Its a party that usually boils down to a matter of who can wave-dash the hardest (another thing that pisses me off). Items are fun. Randomness is fun. We laugh, we play, we throw Pokeballs and go use the ness to go batting for Klap-Traps. Its FUN! You do know what that is right? Smash Bros is not something to take seriously. I play for fun, not for tournament.


Anybody who plays with items off looses all the new upgrades. Hell, you loose the final smashes, the COOLEST PART (Zero Suit Samus for the slow people out there). If you want it that simple, go plug in your N64. Same difference, except with jaggy graphics.



Now, who saw Pits final smash? Pure awesomeness. I've missed my goddess.

I was joking that the smoke bomb is pointless, ya moron.

And I was being a sarcastic ass, ya doofus. :D ;)

I used to play religiously with my good friend Al who lives down the street. We played with items on, and had a blast. I remember once he had over 400% damage, and I hit that kid with the Homerun Bat. His character just...went away. He flew so fast, I didn't even see him move. He just disappeared. We had such a laugh after that. The game is actually more fun with items. At least I think so.

And yeah, it's a game. It can be a fighting game, though, for the extreme players.

I don't disagree with you, TMB, but saying Smash is boring without items is bullsh*t. That's no better than saying that playing with items is for noobs. What makes the game so great is that it works as both a party game and a fighting game.

Wave Dashing is overrated anyway. It's only really good with a few characters and it's mostly for mind games anyway. Wave Dashing will not necessarily give you the edge though by any means. I almost never Wave Dash and I'm able to beat a lot of people that Wave Dash a lot and are quite good at it. The one thing I hate about items is how they can screw you up. Nothing is more annoying than doing an attack and having an explosive item appear right in front of you as you do it. I can't even describe how much that pisses me off. Another great moment with items is how when certain items appear the camera zooms out to show you that they appeared there.

You're right about one thing. I do hate the explosive items. I always turn those bastards off.

I mostly tend to turn of items can can completely shift the momentum of the match. And the fan, I hate that thing.

I do hope Brawl is 3 times as customizable as Melee.

The one thing I hate that you can't turn off is explosive capsules and crates. You can turn off pretty much everything else except those. It would be really cool if in Brawl they added turning off stage distractions like arwings in Corneria. I'd enjoy that quite a bit.

For those who were still worrying whether or not Earthbound/Mother would be represented in Brawl, worry no longer. It's not much of an update, but it bears the series' icon, so there you go. I don't care myself, but whatever.

Yeah, its nice to see Mother fans haven't been forgotten.

Earthbound was one of the hardest games I've ever played in my life. I barely survived every boss battle. I think I still have that HUGE box laying around somewhere.

If I'm not mistaken, Lucas was rumored to replace Ness, right?

I hope that's not true, Ness was an awesome character. I'll be pissed if he's replaced.

Who would want Lucas anyway? His design is as boring as it gets. At least Ness has a cap for some visual interest.

Do her fingers strike anyone else as really off?

Yeah, that definitely isn't right. :lol:

LOL wow, that's terrible.
