-any non-Nintendo character must have appeared on a Nintendo platform before, with the tentative number of such additions being one or two, excluding Metal Gear Solid's Snake

Understandable. We can't have so many characters that it isn't Nintendo's characters duking it out although EHRgeiz comes to mind.

-According to Sakurai, due to Super Smash Bros.'s worldwide popularity, he does not want the Wii iteration to feature game characters only popular in Japan

If only Retro had some of those characters already. I don't want crap ones. I see Sonic and Viewtiful Joe as the best possibilities. They're non-mature and come from e-rated games. Next up I see Prince of Persia, some Eternal Darkness character, and some Soul Caliber character.

-On the topic of gameplay, the Brawl director noted the team is tweaking each character's moveset to allow "more freedom" in aerial combat

That opens up the possiblitu for actually fighting in air like Dragon Ball Z.

-Sakurai said, "This time, we'd like to stress easiness over the small details of combat, so overall it might become somewhat easier."

I thought it was easy enough. Who didn't think it was easy to pick up as opposed to Mortal Kombat, Tekken, Street Fighter, SNK, DOA, etc? I just hope they do something about the cheapness of such moves.

-Concerning Brawl's online functionality, Sakurai stated that no online ranking system would be implemented, though the recording of a win-loss record wasn't ruled out.

Acceptable. Eventually there will be the best that is just unbeatable.

Happy 666 day! Now only 1000 more years till the next one. Mark it on your calendars.

June 6, 2106. 6/6/06. 100 years.

[DLazare91]

i hope they dont include too many 3rd party characters or else itll be kinda gay imo.

[Vishus]

June 6, 2106. 6/6/06. 100 years.

It's for millenial purposes. You know like using the word millenium. 100 sounds too pussy. Ok enough on that. I'm serious.

DLaz. They're only going to have 2-3 non-Nintendo characters. Solid Snake, and one to two more characters.

[Flamin Scotsman]

i was thinking the same
it opens up a gateway for making it like an actual beat em up
whichis blateltly isnt.
sonic and joe will be good tho

[Matt008]

Who's in and who's out. (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2006/06/07/smash-bros-brawl-whos-in-whos-out/)

Bowser Jr., Ridley (SWEET!) and Celda Link are new characters.

Taken away are Ice Climbers, Young Link and Mr. Game and Watch.


I also heard somewhere that Sakurai stated he wants a roster 40 deep. Can't confirm it though.





Eh, Ice Climbers were kinda cool, you could use 2 items at once, but I never really used them. I've suggested they get rid of Mr. Game and Watch too. He's a fun novelty character, but not really that great otherwise. Young Link I'm not sorry to see leaving.

[[[tavis]]]

Wind Waker Link, Ghey.

[Matt008]

Here's a 1UP article that says that Sakurai wants the roster to be 40 deep! (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3151290)

Awesome.

[OnBake Platinum]

I want Ridley pics NOW.

[Skull Kid]

They get rid of Young Link and bring in WW Link? Boo.

But Ridley? Yay!

[SuperLuigiBros]

*dances a jig*

YAY! Falco is still in. Dance with me onBake, dance with me!!1!

Ridley is sweet. I immediatly thought that taking out young Link was a shit idea, but then with the inclusion of WW Link there would be 3 Links (2 + 1 = 3), which is too many. I suspect they are now getting rid of clones. Bowser Jnr. is a bit 'meh' but theyre using him in alot of games and he aint too bad. Thank god they didnt put in Petey Phiranah. They spammed him up like a bitch. I hope WW Link and Ridley are sweet to use.

Ice Climbers i wont miss, but my friend (who hardly plays) uses them. Im more than a little sad to see Mr. Game and Watch leave. His super smash move had so much potential. (Pixel blast)

[OnBake Platinum]

Don't dance just yet, Falco might be in but they may give him new (gay) moves.

I hope Ridley doesn't suck ass like Bowser did.

[SuperLuigiBros]

^Yeh thats what I was thinking but at least theres hope for him. Maybe theyll change Fox because he sucks ass. Falco should stay the same and Fox should turn into starFOX assault.

I hope that Boswer jnr isnt ghey like Boswer Snr. But Boswer jnr. will have that paint brush thing and will be fast and will most likely be alot different from Bowser.

[OnBake Platinum]

I wonder what Ridley's Super Pwn will be...

So exciting!

[Lucent Beam]

Cutting Mr. Game and Watch?

Fuck that! That's completely lame. I'm infinitely disappointed. BLAH.

[P.B.]

they need to not make the game easier...as in...level 9 characters in tournaments in super smash bros melee weren't hard enough. and changing the handicap just doesn't produce the right feeling. Basically...they need to allow you to make opponents more difficult

[koten]

... RIDLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

[OnBake Platinum]

Nintendo 64?

[Skull Kid]

Cutting Mr. Game and Watch?

Fuck that! That's completely lame. I'm infinitely disappointed. BLAH.

They'll probably replace him with Diskun, who will probably be just about the same thing.

[OnBake Platinum]

I wonder if anything from Animal Crossing will be in this.

[Mirai]

Hey, waddya know, I was right about Wind Waker Link replacing Young Link.

Owned?

[Teh Roxor!]

Maybe theyll change Fox because he sucks ass.
I'm sorry... why? Fox is excellent. I've always preferred him to Falco, anyway. When I play as Fox I nearly invariably win. Fox's smash attacks seem faster. Also, is it just me or is Falco a bit lighter, as in easier to knock away? The one thing I liked about Falco was his incredibly fast first jump.

They seem to be adding a lot more flying characters. I'm not sure I like that, but I guess I'll have to see.

[Hylian-Advocate]

If you hadn't heard... the recent character announcements and withdrawls were completely bogus.

1up f-ed up big time by getting their info from the Gaming Age Forums where some random dude made up some bull and everyone started believing him.

I will say it again so people aren't misinformed:

This info was BOGUS!

[OnBake Platinum]

God Dammit...

[Vishus]

Where the hell are my +reps?

[Cofey]

FUCK BABY BOWSER! BRING IN THE KOOPA KIDS!!!

That is all.

[Hylian-Advocate]

^^^ GAHHH....people.......stop being misinformed.....this new character info is flase! again.....1up made a huge goof.

[koten]

*weeps quietly*

[Cofey]

^Well, that's good and bad I think. I would have loved Ridley too (let's not count him out yet, even if this time it was only a rumor). But I'm SO glad Bowser Jr. was bogus. I really hate him.

[koten]

*shrugs* I thought Bowser Jr. was ok. I mean, he has been making a pretty decent enemy out of himself lately.

Though he still sucks compared to the 7 Koopa Kids.

[Phoenix]

Looks like they're probobly keeping Falco! Yay! Although it doesn't make much of a difference for me since I'll most likely be using Pit. Unless they include...




Look! I'm Phoenixphire! I like to waste people's time with ghey line breaks!




...Tom Nook!

[koten]

^I'd expected that from Zeep, but I thought you knew better.

Are you sure? According to the site I went to:

In an interview with Japanese radio program, The Gaming Show, Super Smash Bros. Brawl director and creator Masahiro Sakurai reveal new names appearing on the upcoming Nintendo Wii game. Sakurai confirms the third installment to the massively successful Super Smash Bros. Brawl will have Junior Browser, Samus' arch enemy Ridley, and Wind Waker's Link on board.

Can this be confirmed, or did the guy who made this up say that it was from this radio program?

[Phoenix]

^I'd expected that from Zeep, but I thought you knew better.But Tom Nook is my bishie! <3 <3


...someone please kill me.

[Hylian-Advocate]

Matt.....it's bogus......trust me..... or I would have posted it on Nintendo Now long ago.

Also....don't you think that sites like IGN and GameSpot would have been all over it?

It's not true and I was honestly shocked to see 1up post it.... as a news source.....you just gotta be more carefull about what you post.

[F089/H]

SO Confirm Because I'm too lazy too look at the link,Ridley is a Character....?


That was thoughtful...

[pac4life]

Did one up make note of their mistake?

Cus a whole bunch of people are taking this in seriously if it is a joke

And no one has said it was bogus


Personally i never believed it, i placed it right in the rumor category

Unless you guys can seriously prove it The Wiire and 1up have posted this news up. I don't care if IGN posted it or not. Remember the news about Friday the 13th getting directed by Quentin Tarantino? No apology and they posted the news as if Quentin or some new source was at fault. They're the only ones that posted it! That's just an example but it applies to all section of their websites. You have to be dumb not to see the problems with what they do.

If it's fake prove it! Then if its not fake then prove that also!

[Delirious]

Is falco confirmed or not? I hope so, he was the best char. in Melee. They better leave him alone too, no dumb new moves. Falco! Falco! Falco! Falco!

[Vishus]

Nothing has been confirmed. The creator won't give us updates until he finishes the games unless he feels otherwise.

[Delirious]

Oh, well whoever posted that fake info can bite my left nut. But for real tho, I cant wait for Brawl man. All this waiting with so little info, its like being addicted to crack, and someone giving you one spoonful a month to live off of.

[Phoenix]

Is falco confirmed or not? I hope so, he was the best char. in Melee. They better leave him alone too, no dumb new moves. Falco! Falco! Falco! Falco!Yeah, I'd hate it if they completely overhauled Falco. I like him as a superior (in my opinion) version of Fox.

It hasn't been proven that it's fake.

[Sbrother]

If they had somthing from animal crossing on this game, I think Mr. Resetti would come out of the ground and just drags you under and eats you. It's kinda sad, but I could see him doing that...

[Phoenix]

If any AC character deserves to be in SSBB, it's Tom Nook. Tom Nook would be an amazing secret joke-like character. Especially if they make him all badass and ninja-like or something.

From Animal Crossing, my vote goes to...

why the left one?

I suggest you assume it's fake until its officially announced by the super smash bros website, press release, or perhaps just more sources. All may come hand in hand.

[Delirious]

My left is more sweaty lol

Has anyone heard anything about Waluigi yet? Im assuming hes gonna be some type of Wario clone if he is in the game.

He could wallop people with his guitar, El Kabong style. Although personally, I could happily go without seeing any AC characters in Brawl.

[Zeep]

I think an AC course would be a good idea. It could even change depending ont he time of day you're playing!

[Kliq]

I think an AC course would be a good idea. It could even change depending ont he time of day you're playing!

That's a pretty kickass idea .... and change on seasons and what not.

[Phoenix]

That would be cool. But there really aren't many venues that are recognizable since all towns are different. Maybe that well in the middle of town where the mayor goes for holidays.

[Dwhitten]

My hope:

That they give every character unique feel to them. In Melee it felt like all the other characters copied the shell of the main characters. Like Luigi was like Mario, Falco was like Fox, Gannon was like Captain Falcon and so on.

[Vishus]

This is why I prefer if Child Link and Adult Link should have been one character. You just choose your favorite look. Same goes to Mario and Dr. Mario, Sheik and Zelda. You can have variants though. Child Link is fast and Adult Link is strong. They can have as many characters as they want. Just keep the selection to a minimum as possible and make variants strictly to one slot and changeable as you would change a character. I also don't like weird decisions. Why have this character and not this other character? Tom Nook is the only character deserving from AC. He should be first. Any other should be thought of later.

[bobo_ess]

KK has a weapon tho...
