Brawl Discussion

I know for a fact Metaknight has his own symbol, although i cannot remember where.

The symbol has appeared before...

EDIT: It's the symbol that appears on Metaknight's Armor.

On his right shoulder is the symbol i'm talking about.

On the image of metaknight we see he has a symbol on his left shoulder. It is an M with a sword through it.

very possible its his symbol in the game.

I have come to the conclusion that you guys are putting way too much effort into researching and debating and thinking about this game. This is now the 18th page of this thread. I don't mean this in a derogatory way at all, I just wanted to say that this, in the end, is just a game. I'm actually kinda worried that you guys might be building it up to be the next coming of Wiisus Christ, and you might end up disappointed when you finally play it for the first time because it doesn't live up to the impossible expectations you might be giving it.

The majority of the speculation is really about the characters, but really who's in and who's not won't make or break the game at all. So in that sense I don't see how it could fail expectations as long as it keeps the general formula of the first 2 games. Basically smash is a fun party game/competitive fighter (much moreso than Pokemon IMO), and whatever it has in it it's gonna be good.

 

[Steeler]

Well it is one of the most anticipated games out there...

And there's always been debate on what characters should have been in SSBM or not and now the release of this new game has everything at fever pitch.

 

[StrangerDanger]

DM, trust me i know.

But really, it's a hobby.
I have my routine, like watching a show every weekday, or like anyone really.

These updates are a gimmick the site's adopted, and as long as they dont require more than a push of a button to view, every weekday, i'm glad to fuel the fire.

But eventually, it boils down to at least being the most creative fighting game i've ever played, (excluding power stone, but still) and they've had 6 years now to make this game, so i see no reason why to not be giddy over Mario and Co.

I haven't seen anybody in here really blowing anything out of proportion or "building the game up" to be anything more than

1) what we're seeing on smashbros.com
2) speculation that is almost always cleared up within the next couple of updates, and never goes any further than "I wonder if X character will be in the game" anyway. And I can assure you, while I was slightly disappointed at the absence of Wario in SSBM, I still loved the game to death regardless.

Also, this is Smogon. A good portion of its members are already putting a lot of time and effort into "researching" and thinking about games like Pokemon, so I don't see how this could be considered a big deal in comparison.

Good eye. I'm convinced it is.

It's just like DP pre-release, albeit confined to one thread. The only reason I posted this thread here instead of going somewhere like SWF was because that place is full of endless spam right now... And because I figured that many here played smash bros. competitively or were at least interested in how the sequel would turn out. Besides, I doubt it will be worse than melee, and really I would be fine if it were just melee with new characters.

PS: Firefox spell-check doesn't seem to think that melee is a word. :/

Edit: I should add that I will be let down if it lacks online though.

 

[Tmnt Boy]

Like said before its not that i'm building up this game. Its jus that i've also got in the habbit of looking at that website every few days then posting here about what i think about the updates.

 

[NESgamer]

Also, I heard that the Metal Gear symbol is supposed to look like a fox? We've seen it already, but I don't know what the symbol is supposed to look like. Unless it's just a general organization icon, then I don't know much.

You mean the "Fox hound" icon?, it's in the Metal Gear games...

I like this new stage from the update, the castle siege based on Fire Emblem games, though it says is not from a specific game of the series (not like i would know because i had never played a FE game...).

That's the one on top. Also, the proof that Metaknight's icon is the same as Kirby's is in the Nintendo World movie.

 

[CasMat]

Wellll this is one of the most interesting updates.... a ton of screenshots of a real fleshed out single player mode and a cool movie preview (that's taking forever to download).... and peach!

Also, any idea who pits looking at here:

 

[lilyhollow]

lol mario would be a freaking badass if he wasn't so...

not at all badass whatsoever.

but this is a very interesting update. I remember reading previews and such about SSBM's single player being so great and was kind of disappointed after actually playing through it. But this time it's looking seriously cool.

^Since the video is taking forever to load for tons of people, someone uploaded it to Youtube

I'm loving this update. All those pictures are really interesting, and the video pretty much guarantees Peach coming back for Brawl =D

 

[Steelicks]

i want metaknight info =(

 

[CasMat]

Thank you Twinks!

I don't see why people are so stuck on getting info on snake and metaknight... it will only be screenshots and a paragraph on stuff you already know.... Really this update was a lot better than any info on previously confirmed characters, and more fitting to Sakurai's birthday.

HB Sakurai.

 

[makiri]

Palutena from Kid Icarus, shes the Goddess of Light, and basically the Peach of the series (yay Wii VC).

Metaknight is more like a rival to Kirby and will protect Dreamland from harm and will help Kirby in his quests, but will fight Kirby as he is the rival to the main character but is by no means really evil.

Snake's symbol is the Foxhound symbol that NESgamer posted earlier.

And to DM, while in the end its just a game I find it kind of fun to speculate and watch what's going on, and its just like checking my email, takes the same amount of time and theres always a surprise. And its not a hobby, its an interest, hobbies cost money.

EDIT: It may also seem like Sheik and Ganondorf may be confirmed (albeit maybe a slip of the tongue)

GI: Have you been consulted at all for the usage of Link or Sheik or Ganondorf for Smash Bros. Brawl?

Aonuma: I’ve been working with Sakurai for a very long time with this new Smash Bros., because the Wii came out and when discussion for a new Smash Bros. took place nobody could think of anyone other than Sakurai working on it. He was kind of the default, and I was very happy to hear that he would be working on it. Actually, my designers did work on the designs for Sheik and Link and Ganondorf. So they submitted the initial designs, and so it would fit in the Smash Bros. Brawl environment, they’ve had to tweak some of the designs. But Sakurai has brought those altered designs to NCL. We’re working very closely with the team of Smash Bros. Brawl to make sure the characters look their best.

I like to speculate about Smash bros more like any other game because of the massive options and "retro" stuff it contains, makes you remember about thousand of details on old games and wish to see old characters come back.

Today's update is awesome, and many will be glad with the indirect confirmation of Peach.

 

[CasMat]

Hey that's cool.... also, I just read someone mention some semi Ridley confirmation for brawl:

look at the clouds in the top right corner


Edit: I have a theory that all of the enemies appear as assist trophies... Hammer Bros being an enemy and an assist trophy just makes it seem that way to me.

 

[PM]

Aonuma didn't mention anything about WW Link or even just a revamped young link =(

I don't see it

This is the best week so far IMO, with Ike and this.

I think they're just having fun talking about an upcoming game. Given previous installments in the series, I think it's pretty safe to say that SSBB will be a decent party game at the very least, if not a viable competitive one. It's always fun to speculate and talk about the game before it comes out. I know you don't really deal in the Pokémon aspect of this forum, but there was a lot of that going on for Diamond/Pearl, as well. I really fail to see anything wrong with this. If the game turns out to suck ass, I'm pretty sure everyone who owns a Wii is going to be disappointed, not just the people talking in this thread :P.

 

[Shiny Crobat]

A mario bros like main game, that's great. Especially since it's not just pressing A and B, it's like a battle.
