Official Super Smash Bros. Brawl Thread (OUT NOW!)

[Nez]

I liked mr game and watch as well. Young link was kinda redundant with "normal" link anyways, would be even more so with celda. It will be interesting to see all these charictors each with there own unique designs.

I dont know about ridley however hell have to be much smaller then usuall.

EDIT Just thought of another great charictor, Viewtiful Joe. I dont think he could speed up or slow down but he got a bunch of other moves to kickass with.

I was thinking more of the size difference represented in the original NES version. About x1.5 the size of Samus. Maybe along the lines of Bowser.

I don't know, I think Windwaker Link will fit just fine. Even if some of his attacks are similar/same, the mannerisms will be completely different between the two and that would be enough to differentiate the fighters I'd think.

Other characters that I hope make it are:

Tetra (Wind Waker)
R.O.B. (the Robot)
Eggplant Wizard (Kid Icarus)
Little Mac (Punchout)
King Hippo (Punchout)
Paper Mario (Paper Mario)
Starman or Great Puma (Pro Wrestling)
Mona (WarioWare)
Fulgore (Killer Instinct)
Mike (StarTropics)

Guests:

Nei (Phantasy Star II)
Bionic Commando (Bionic Commando)

[Crazycarl]

well the deal is that you can't think of any companies and games that already have fighting games under their belts. so no capcom charactors, no SNK charactors, and no soul caliber characters. manily do to the insanly different playing style of the the SSB games. You have to think of "NEW" charactors that havn't been in any really big fighting series (like SF, SC, KOF) so simon belmont can work, katamary damacy can work, billy hatcher, and the list goes on. atleast this is my own theory with the series.

[SkiDragon]

I just had the best idea ever for a character: A Gunstar Hero.

[christhegamer]

My thoughts (it's a biggy!!!)

-To me, this new installment seems to be more suited for lesser characters and more details, contrary to one website's beleif that the game will have 40 characters. I predict that this game may actually have FEWER character's than SSBM, but instead will focus on more character variants (Samus' new zero-suit look and the rumor of "Celda" is my proof of this) due to it's semingly more mature feeling.

-Regardless of website titlings, I still think that ANYTHING, even "Dojo", is a better subtitle than "Brawl".

-according to a rumor wich has since been debunked, Ridley, Bowser Jr. and "Celda" (Link from Loz: Wind Waker) would be playable characters in this game.
*I think that Ridley would be the most likely candidate if Nintendo did decide to put one of these guys in. However, I think that the Super Metroid version of him should be the one playable, if not all variations (I think there's just the jet black one from Metroid Prime and violet/purple Ridley from the original Metroid)for multiplayer mode, teambattle, etc.
*Bowser Jr. also seems like a likely candidate since he (1) has been used in alot of nintendo's recent games, and (2) has somewhat of a dark tone to him (see bloody teeth drawn-on bandana). still think he should get a makeover like the other character's have had, though.
*Now, the WW version of Link would have been great for Super Smash Bros. Melee, but unless he too gets a little less child-oreinted, I highly doubt that he will be a part of the mix.

-In the movie, character's are seen grabbing floating icons resembling the SSB series logo and thereby supposedly performing newer, more powerful moves (Link's 'Triforce-slash', Mario's kick-@$$ super fireball, Kirby's cooking thingy, etc.). to tell you the truth, I was VERY dissapointed at this concept. SSB is about NOT taking a ridicoulous amount of time to preform a flashy move, and it's not about interupting a fight with a stupid cutscene (i.e. Kirby's Cooking thing). Instead, I think that these orbs should just slighty increase the power of certain attacks (mario's fireball, for example) in an rpg-like manor, build-up strength by collecting more orbs, and then gradually fade-off until the player get's another orb/orbs.

-Mario's legs don't have enough "meat" on them. Nintendo should fix Mario's design so that he does'nt look like a stick, but at the same time is'nt resorting back to the classical 'fat' look.

-Wario should definitely keep his WarioWare garbs, but should also have his original clothing as well. height and weight adjustments should be made compared to the other Mario brothers.

-Link's outfit got SERIOUSLY toned-down. really, man; can't you just put-in a little more green without making yourself look like the jolly green giant?

-Solid Snake SHOULD use guns like the SOCOM and Stinger, but just not in a way that seems too violent (for example: Fox Mc Cloud used his laser gun as a standard move and did'nt spill any blood of his opponent's. Snake should have it so that the fire from his pistol is a yellow streak, just like Fox's pinkish-streak. also, the Rocket Launcher could just be used like Ness' PK Thunder; guided until it hit's something with a boom and nothing else).

-Pit really, REALLY needs a total re-do. He looks too much like a generic anime boy, he's not that serious-looking, and that whole "OMFG-I-GOT-A-BOW-THAT-CAN-SPLIT-INTO-TWO-SWORDS-LOL!" thing is just gay. get with the times, man.

-Wario's fart move is... okay, but needs a little... improvisation...

:UPDATE:
character/variant idea- "JUSTIN BAILEY" Samus Aran

yeah, I know there's already a zero-suit, but let's face it; even the leotard was better than THAT. They should also change samus' hair color to match the code (although making it comepletely green is not at all wise.) I think this classic-code variation should be included (or make her look something like THIS: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/12631383/ :D)

[christhegamer]

*zomfg double post*

I'll try to bring this post back from the dead; I think a great character edition would be Jack Skellington from Nightmare Before Christmas. Right now the movie is huge in Japan, and his wacky costumes and weapons (assuming he uses the Rubber Soul from Oogie's Revenge) cleverly mixed in with noir comedy horror would make him a perfect candidate for SSBB.

other Ideas I have include:
-> the guy from Blaster Master and/or his tank
-> Karnov
-> DK Jr.
-> Mach Rider (although he may be the same as Captain Falcon)
-> Link's Wolf form from TW

[Kroogah]

Flash of brilliance as I am waiting for details on this game, and trying to finally FINALLY collect all 290 SSBM trophies:

Imagine if Brawl had a trophy collection that included non-Nintendo trophies. Imagine if the game included not only Snake but Megaman and Sonic, and you could collect trophies of Konami, Capcom and Sega characters.

I don't care if that would mean 5,000 total trophies, I'd spend the time to get all of 'em.

[Snapple]

I enjoyed the trophies, but they're small potatoes compared to the meat of the game to me. I'd rather see a new character. Hell, I hope they end up with 500 characters, like on that fan-made SSB character select screen.

[heybtbm]

Bumping this old topic.

Just found this image on IGN. It may be nothing new to some, but it is proof that the POS Wii-mote won't ruin Super Smash Brothers Brawl (Nintendo is starting to get it). Such good news...

http://wiimedia.ign.com/wii/image/article/801/801587/super-smash-bros-brawl-20070705100150470.jpg

It looks like there's 4 different ways to control your character! I think I'll be using "option 2". It's time to buy a few more Wavebirds after all.

[gamegirl79]

Now that's pretty sweet! Options are good. I'll be using the Wavebird more than likely also.

Will this be the first non-VC game to utilize the Classic controller? I can't seem to think of any current games that do...

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Can anyone please tell me why Snake is even featured in this game?

I thought the whole point of Smash Bros is that it was Nintendo first party characters only? What kind of deal have Nintendo got with Konami at this time, if any? Do Konami have a part in the creation of this game (In which case I can understand it) ~ It seems a bit random to feature a third party character, even though said character has starred in a number of games spanning various consoles over the last 20 years ~ In the same thought, why not include characters who have been equally influential, such as MegaMan (Capcom), or even Conker (RARE)? (If it is indeed a random inclusion)


I'm not going to rule out the possibility of Sonic featuring (Especially now seeing ass Sega and Nintendo are so close nowadays, and after the Mario / Sonic Olympic Games), but if Sonic is included, then I feel the Smash Bros template has been contaminated too much by outside influencce. Why don't Sega simply do their own similar style game featuring their own characters, rather than infect Nintendo's series? I'd rather keep Smash Bros separate and see a one off spin-off game entitled "Nintendo Vs Sega Smash Bros" or something similar...

[Sanriostar]

Who has a list of the characters, confirmed and rumored?

By rumored I don't mean people you want to see in, but whispers from somewhat credible sources. And 'that one dude on the gamefaqs MB'
doesn't count.

Newer confirmed characters are all on the smash bros website. So far there's Donkey Kong, King Koopa, Mario, Link, Zelda, Samus, Pikachu, Fox, Snake, Pit, Wario, Kirby, and Meta Knight. I haven't heard about anyone else, but it's a good guess that most of the cast from melee will be coming back.

As for why Snake's there, Kojima wanted him in Melee, but there wasn't enough time to implement him. I guess he's a big fan of Nintendo's work.

Don't forget about Dr. Wright from Sim City...

[Gemini-Phoenix]

In regards to a post further up the thread: I am surprised that there is a lack of Namco related characters, given Nintendo's current partnerships with Namco / Bandai. As mentioned, Link featured in Soul Calibur II on the GameCube, so why not return the favour and have some Namco characters appear in Smash Bros? Nintendo and Namco have become very close recently, so thought that maybe a few Soul Calibur characters or maybe PacMan would feature

That said, even though they may not be included as playable characters, there's nothing to say that there won't be any subtle links or cameo's ~ If the trophy feature stays, then PacMan could feature as a collectable trophy perhaps...


One character I would really like to see is the Game And Watch style character from Warioland 4 (You know. The black stick man with the long nose. Lol.)

[blissfulnoise]

I don't think that Dr. Wright is an actual playable character but more of a "environmental" effect on the stage or a power up of some type. Not sure how he'd be summoned though... Pokeball?

And it looks like Zero Suit Samus isn't a seperate character after all but after firing your super smash attack, your armor falls off and you're now Zero Suit. I don't know how I feel about that, but if Zelda/Shiek can work, I'm sure Armored/Zero Suit Samus will work fine too.

EDIT: Wright is an "assist trophy" along with Nintendogs and Hammer Bros. Pretty rad!

[ubersaurus]

http://wiimedia.ign.com/wii/image/article/804/804219/super-smash-bros-brawl-20070712111328721.jpg


Actually, Dr. Wright is one of the new assists you can use by grabbing a particular item. Samurai Goroh, Hammer Bros. and Nintendogs are others.

[Gemini-Phoenix]

This is how I always interpreted it as being anyway. I didn't expect Zero Suit Samus to be a separate character, but rather expected it to work in the same manner as Zelda / Shiek, where one becomes the other during battles

I also feel that Samus could become more agile after evolving into the Zero Suit incarnation, as that suit of armour must be pretty heavy, whereas the Zero suit is melded to her body. I would also expect her moves and attacks to be a lot quicker

[blissfulnoise]

Dojo said that her speed goes way up and her power goes way down. Plus she goes whip style instead of missles/bombs. So you're right on the money Gemini.

[MarioMania]

With the Gamecube Controller will it work with the D-pad...If so get the Wii controller Adapter from retrousb for SNES controllers

[Kitsune Sniper]

Dr. Wright is an original Nintendo creation for their SimCity port. He's not featured in any other Sim game, so they can include him.

As far as I know, Hideo Kojima himself begged for Snake to be in the game, so blame him.

[Gemini-Phoenix]

As far as I know, Hideo Kojima himself begged for Snake to be in the game, so blame him.

So kind of the same as Spielberg, Scott, and Lucas doing each other special favours? Good enough reason than any I guess.

I would imagine that if the D Pad support is there, it would be pretty awkward to play using teh GameCube D Pad, due to it's tiny size. But then, some people might like thumb blisters! Lol. I never really had a problem playing Super Smash Bros Melee with the GameCube pad though, and would probably be my choice of controller, so long as the controls remain pretty much the same

Yeah... I feel sorry for Peach in my house, she's gonna be stuck in that cage a long time ;)

[ubersaurus]

I wonder if they're dancing?

[Nirvana]

Hopefully ;)

Haha. I swear. When this game comes out my life will be gone. My friends and I are just going to eat pizza and play this all day.

I hadn't been on their site for awhile, the Devil from Devil World is awesome to a factor of a million!

It looks like this game is going to take fan service to levels never before seen on a video game.

Gogo Nintendo!

[PDorr3]

I am actualy very interested in playing as the pokemon trainer, he seems totaly unique in the way he is played, sort of like zelda/shiek was in melee, only this time there are 3 transformations, pretty cool if you ask me. Diddy kong seems like a ok addition, but come on couldent they think of someone else to bring in that would take everyone by suprise? but heck if he plays like a nimble character (no signs of the character I played as returning, shiek) I might use him, I am a sucker for speed over power.

Flying looks fun! Like everybody has bunny rabbit ears. Ice could be interesting, too... I wonder if heavier characters will have better traction?

[joedick]

Diddy kong seems like a ok addition, but come on couldent they think of someone else to bring in that would take everyone by suprise?

I think Snake fills the role of 'character that caught everyone by surprise'. Plus, I kinda hope they don't reveal some of the surprise characters so they can be hidden unlockables we aren't expecting.

You can adjust how often certain songs play on certain stages.

And you unlock new songs by picking up CDs.

Just what I need, another collecting element....

[kainemaxwell]

Must get soundtrack now!

[Frica89]

That music update was amazing. It's incredible...they're putting so much stuff into this game. :O

[Kroogah]

Unfortunately, she's only an assist trophy.

[Kroogah]

Looks like we can finally kill that rumor about Ice Climbers, Game & Watch and Young Link getting axed.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/iceclimbers/iceclimbers.jpg

[Gapporin]

Boo. Am I the only one who didn't like the Ice Climbers?

[FantasiaWHT]

Couldn't stand playing them or against them. Very easy to beat, I thought.

[udisi]

G&W was actually a very good character in certain situations against medium speed opponents. I have a friend that can play Ice Climbers. I don't know how, but she stomps with them. Young Link though was always useless imo.

[FantasiaWHT]

Do we know if Zelda will still get her Sheik form (God I hope so)?

Any chance Link will transform into his wolf form?

[Kroogah]

Ice Climbers are a little hard to learn, but they're one of the best characters in Melee when mastered. This is due to insane smash attacks and causing chaos when you manage to desync the two.

As for Sheik, it's a good bet Zelda will keep her down+B. And Wolf Link is on a lot of people's wish lists. There has been a Twilight Princess stage announced, at least.

[FantasiaWHT]

Nice to have some info on wi-fi!

And having a mini-game to putz with while waiting for all the connections to be made? Veeeeeeeeery nice!

[FantasiaWHT]

What happened to the Smash Bros. Dojo thread? Did it get parceled in with this one?

Anyway, the more final smashes they show, the stupider it seems to me... It's looking more and more like they are going to be these big production pre-canned animations that can't be avoided or minimized at all. Looking at Kirby's cookpot thing makes me think they are borrowing a page from Final Fantasy 7 and its ridiculously long summon animations.

Aside from the length, being unable to avoid it just doesn't seem fun at all. Things like pokeballs, hammers, baseball bats, you can do something to avoid.

We know that Samus loses her power suit after using the final smash, and Diddy loses his barrel rockets, but do Fox and Kirby lose any power? I can kind of see the balance if every character is weakened after using a final smash like this, but not if only some characters do.

Now, granted, I'm reading a lot into the little bits we've learned about final smashes. I hope I'm reading it wrong. If not, I'll likely be turning them off when I play.

Eh, might as well merge 'em.

Yeah Kirby's final smash is the most ridiculous one yet, since it looks completely unavoidable and he gets all those nice healing items besides. Figures since it's Masahiro Sakurai's last Smash game. Kirby's gonna be a terribly good character, just like in the 64 days. HEAR THAT CHANDLER?

That is pretty awesome. I just hope he has some actual Genesis era Sonic music for his character instead of that horrible track played in the preview. And the voice acting... I wonder what other characters we will see now. Tails? Another Sega franchise?

[Wolfrider31]

Other Sega franchises would be cool, but I'm waiting for the other third party flood gates to open. And by flood gates I mean two or three more characters. I'm always a fan of one character representing one game and having as large a catalogue as possible included.

With the exceptions of Mario and Zelda of course.

Also, Sonic in a First party Nintendo game? I would have laughed at that idea in 1992, but now it seems the world is ending.

13 is not found, but that's in between Fire Emblem and Ice Climbers, so it's almost definitely going to be Game & Watch.

15 is Animal Crossing, pretty sure we're gonna get an Animal Crossing playable character.

Also not found is 19, in between Kid Icarus and Sonic.

Personally I'm hoping for either Little Mac or Megaman.

This is what fanboys have been wanting to see since 1991, Mario vs. Sonic. SSBB is making a good argument for most important game of the millenium.
