You have fun with that. Trying not to get spoiled about Brawl is going to be next to impossible. I was willing to try to keep the spoilers on the thread down for a couple of weeks, but a month and a half? Face it. There's no way in hell. Its like trying not to get wet in a hurricane.

Yeah, the best thing to do is just stay clear of this thread if you don't want spoilers. I'm just going to post any that I find, so EVERYONE BEWARE TEH SPOILARZ!

The Zelda purist in me is annoyed that TP Zelda transforms into OoT Sheik, but the Smash Bros. fan in me is glad that one of my best characters from Melee has returned.

By the way, can we please, please use spoiler tags for unlockable characters and stuff? I don't want to have to avoid this thread, and you know, that's what they're for.

Oh, and everyone shut up about the delay already.

*E* Whoa, Olimar's Final Smash is some Biblical sh*t right there: End of Day.

Anyway, very excited that Sheik is back even though I bet she got nerfed really badly.
Their delaying it because they know your going to buy it anyways so they could release it whenever they want to and it doesn't matter. I bet you the pre-orders on this have already raked in enough cash to cover the cost of the game.

Yeah, I'm guessing it's just going to be where it all goes dark and some crazy sh*t comes out to eat everyone. End of Day in Pikmin is when it gets dark and you have to return to your ship, so WHO KNOWS!

The delay sucks, make no mistake, but a small part of me is actually enjoying the wait. Think about it. Its (in a sick way) fun to look forward to this game, because we all know its going to be perfect, and because we're never going to get another.

Sakurai made it quite clear after Kirby's Air Ride that he had quite enough of Nintendo's bullsh*t. Part of me thinks the delays on Brawl are his revenge. Nintendo would let EAD and Miyamoto delay a game to hell and back based on their good word, but HAL was forced on many occasions to make deadlines they shouldn't have been forced to meet. The original Super Smash Bros. has a shoestring budget. The amount of content (and the skimpy cartridge memory) backed this theory. Melee was shotgunned out the door in 11 months, because Nintendo wanted launch titles that weren't ready. EAD however was allowed to drag on with Mario Sunshine and Wind Waker for another year or more. Kirby's Air Ride had its release date moved up during a bleak period before all the game's content had been finished.

That was the last straw, so Sakurai left to start his own studio. Its also when Iwata took over for that old bastard Yamauchi. The bias against HAL was over, but Sakurai had already pulled out. Without his involvement, Brawl was meant to be nothing more than a half-assed expansion pack for Melee that would ship with online mode and possibly a couple of new characters, but nothing more.

Sakurai made it quite clear at E3 2006 that he has no intention of making another Smash Bros. beyond Brawl, which is why we're seeing two sequels worth of content in this sucker. This is pretty much the end of the line, so enjoy the anticipation while it lasts, because this is the last time you will be this hyped.

Blah blah blah blah.

I don't know about you, but I'd rather play a game than wait for it.

Your existence angers nerdy virgins the world over.

And seriously, who the f*ck are you guys to constantly nail TMB to the wall? Get him once following one of his insane outbursts? Alright, that's fine, but to keep it up when the joke has worn so VICIOUSLY thin? SAD! Especially when you're a life long whining loser like Spitfire or the epitome of basement dwelling, child molesting creeps like Doom.

Edit: Also, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJ2-JLTET88 Olimar's final smash is at the end. Pretty much like I guessed. Night time, blast off in the space ship, everyone on the stage below gets RAPED.

I agree. Next to Pokemon Trainer, he's the character I most want to try out right now.

Clearly. Whatever the hell that means.

You're just about the last person in the world to be doling out a finger-wagging over unwarranted attacks, aren't you? I mean, you attacked us for no reason in doing so.

Well, you attacked me for no reason, anyways.

On topic, I'm looking forward to Sonic the most right now out of everyone announced.

True. I'm a fan of old-artwork, but otherwise I thought the stickers were useless. Now, its actually quite--dare I say...cool? I hope that there is a way though to use them in a special versus mode or something. It would be entertaining to take jacked up characters against someone else's.
