IG-64 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Above you see the final roster as seen on the Smash Bros. web site, with Snake and Sonic conspicuously absent. As for the secret characters, they're pretty much confirmed, and there are plenty of leaked screenshots that look perfectly legit to back this up. They indlude: Snake Sonic Ganondorf Falco Luigi Mr. Game & Watch Marth Ness Jigglypuff Lucario "Toon Link" R.O.B. the robot Captain Falcon You can see the alleged proof of this here: http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=180787, including the screenshots of the characters in action. "Toon Link" seems to be confirmed by this screenshot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ssbb_leaks_select_screen.jpg. Also note in that screenshot, the bottom row of characters could possibly be moved over to allow for one more secret character. It's still unknown how many secret characters there will be, since they're only confirmed by people who are actually unlocking them by playing the game and putting their pictures online.

Lightsaberboy Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 the word is that the final roster is gonna have 35 characters, and most of them are unlocked in the SSE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-64 Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 the word is that the final roster is gonna have 35 characters, and most of them are unlocked in the SSE. Looks like the 35th one is supposedly Star Wolf: http://ranobe.com/up/src/up254176.jpg We'll have to wait and see though... 'cause we're getting into Photoshop territory. EDIT: Analyze these 2 photos: http://medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/screenshot_191240.jpg http://ranobe.com/up/src/up254176.jpg It looks to me like the cursor has been cut from the first picture and roughly spliced into the picture with Wolf in it. Wolf might be simply a photoshop of Fox. In fact, I did something similar nearly 4 years ago: http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/326/wolf2.jpg And I'm surprised that imageshack still hosts it from nearly 4 years ago. Imageshack owns.

Jeff Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I've also heard rumors about wolf being in it. I'm pretty sure this isn't a shop, this is the character list that we know about so far: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v629/lynk/34confirmedcharacters1togo.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TiE23 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 My school just held their finals to their N64 SMB tournament, senior team won against the sophomore team. It was (Sophomores) Mario and Kirby vs (Seniors) Ness and Pikachu - very exciting, all 1000 kids at our school was watching and cheering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TiE23 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 It was a special assembly, we like to have fun sometimes. Anyway, Brawl came out in Japan Thursday (today, but's past midnight, so yesterday) and it got a 40/40 on Famitsu. So that's like... really ****ing good.

Lightsaberboy Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 i'm trying to keep myself unspoiled with the SSE mode, but i just get so tempted and the cutscenes look so great!! like here's boss footage on Samus' stage I think.

IG-64 Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 I'm going to a midnight release at the GameStop in the mall here tonight. I just got on spring break yesterday, so I have over a week to enjoy the goodness before school comes back. Strange to think that it's been nearly 3 years since this game was announced, and over 6 years since the last game. But tonight, it's finally here. I'll post some first impressions tonight if I'm not too busy with the over 9000 things you can do in Brawl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrion Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I'll post some first impressions tonight if I'm not too busy with the over 9000 things you can do in Brawl. If I remember right, one of those 9000 options includes having Kirby create a delicious and hearty broth with the flesh and bones of the other characters.

Jeff Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I have it reserved at gamestop tonight, and they're having a tournament at 10 o'clock before it comes out. Me and my friend entered but I'm sure at least I'll be out in the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IG-64 Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Been playing it for a few hours now. When we (I and my brother) first started, it was... overwhelming. There was so much going on in one fight, that it started to give us headaches. On top of that, the wii remote controls felt wonky, and everything was pretty different. We decided to just use the gamecube controllers for something familiar to get us used to the game, and jump straight into the adventure mode on "intense". After awhile, we started to get the hang of it, and now it's all good. There's only one tiny complaint with the gamecube controls: while I don't really care that the shield is no longer analog, the fact that you have to depress the shoulder buttons all the way to get any shield at all feels a tad slow. Most of the stages are cool to look at, but they all seem really small and hard to maneuver in. Hopefully we'll get used to that. I played in one online match "against anyone" and that went pretty smoothly. Though, it was evident that we were both noobs. So far adventure mode is actually pretty cool. "Intense" difficulty adventure mode is dang hard, but it's worth the trouble. All in all, it's kind of hard to take in all at once, but it's still a pretty awesome game. Oh, and one more little pick at the music. There's a ton of music, and it's all good quality, but most are remakes of the classic songs, and a lot of them are so different it can be difficult to make out the old songs in them (which is kind of a shame at times). But oh well, I'm still happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Nine Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Meta Knight is all kinds of combo-licious ridiculousness. And Snake's Final Smash is just so, so cheap. but omg Zero Suit Samus yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Windu Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 This game'll take some getting used to. Most adv techs were taken out unfortunately, but I'm sure somewhere along the line the game will be streamlined for strategy. Played a lot of it tonight and it's very fun. Pokemon Trainer is lovely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datheus Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I finished unlocking all the characters last night. Sonic may be even more combo crazy than Meta Knight. I've not actually played much in the VS mode, so I don't know how the new items add up, but it does feel a little overwhelming with all of these extra items. Assist trophies, some three piece set that puts you on Kirby's star?, smash balls... I'll tell you what. The SSE final boss made the Master Hand at the end of classic look like a joke.

MrWally Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 People keep talking about how overwhelmed they are... but to be honest I felt very overwhelmed switching from Classic to Melee for the first time as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So pretty much, Brawl is flashy and awesome in appearance but lacking substance of any kind, while Melee is a classic in every sense of the word?

Jeff Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Well I just beat SSE, finally lol. I felt that after about 25% I started to get bored with it but when when I entered the maze it got fun again, maybe more because I wanted to beat it and get it over with. Still don't have all the characters unlocked but I got who I wanted, Sonic Now I can start enjoying some multiplayer and online matches. My Wii isn't set up for online here at school but once I get it setup I'll post my Brawl code so some of us can duke it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightsaberboy Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 One Problem... there is a deathstar in your first picture. it's no problem. it's still under construction! bonthan spies have told us that the weapons systems on it are not yet operational! and i finished the SSE, really fun, except once I get into the endless maze >_< i spent the better part of an hour playing around with Snake in training mode on Shadow Moses just so I can hear the debriefings on all the characters. my favorites were of him getting info on Sonic, Falco, and himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
