Super Smash Brothers: Brawl

[TheSelfishGene]

Anyone else really excited about the new Smash Brothers? I was a big fan of the other two. Young Link FTW. The only reason I haven't sold off my GC is so I can use the controllers for SSB:B.

Obviously the game is now out in Japan, so the roster has leaked. All sounds pretty awesome.

http://kotaku.com/351377/why-is-there-no-capcom-in-super-smash-bros-brawl is quite an interesting story too.

I have had this preordered since 11/11/2006.
I have waited...and waited...I guess it's okay, since in 2006 not much was shown, but the point is, it's now released in Japan, 4 months later in USA, and what? 12 Months in Europe, 14? It's the only problem I have with Nintendo, reminds me of Kingdom Hearts when they made us wait till September (I think) for number 2.
Meh, apart from that I'm loving the fact there will be a map maker, I hope it's advanced though and not just some random blocks.
The bad thing that I have is my Wii has problems, the internet just started being retarded and wouldn't connect.

Taking a look at some Japanese footage, it looks great. Too bad I don't have a Wii though.

I enjoyed the first SSB , i doubt i'm gonna play this one, since i don't have a Wii
Anyways the lack of Spoiler:

some one hacked the disc and found that Mewtwo is probably an alternate skin for Lucario and a song called something like "mewtwo's victory theme" was on the soundtrack

I love using shiek, bowser, luigi, and Samus

This is probably one of my most anticipated games so far. I'm looking forward to at least trying out all the new characters before moving back to my regulars - unless the new characters prove to be more appealing.

I can see myself using Wolf a lot actually.

[Carnivol]

Supposedly, the latest Famitsu has an interview with the producer of the game and there's supposedly hinting/talk about the possibilities of DLC for the game. (Kinda expected this to happen, so it wouldn't surprise me if it comes.)

This game really is the game of forever. Some of the guys I work with imported it from Japan and they seem amazed by it in pretty much every single way.

[BLSR1]

Melee is still one of the best GC games. I wanna try out Pit.

I heard that there was simply a mistranslation, though I would openly welcome the addition.

As for that, to introduce a new character, wouldn't they have to program into the game specific hit zones for EACH character, if they were to be hit by this new character? Makes no sense now but I'm sure if I could write it properly it would =P.

IDTS

But I would LOVE DLC. It would be perfect.

I dunno, I don't keep too much of a track of random news like that.
Only see the headlines and not the follow ups.
(Try to avoid too much spoilers for certain things)

Anyway, DLC for a game like Smash Bros should be fairly doable in terms of design. Don't think any type of collision detection between specific parts on new and old characters would be a problem. Other games have proven to have no problem with adding content like that as long as the engine itself is built around the possibility of doing it.

[BLSR1]

DLC is an extreme possibility because characters like Spoiler:

show spoiler

Mewtwo and Dr. Mario and toon zelda

HAVE been found on the disk, but in too small file sizes to be characters. so they could be placeholders or something like that

[The Dude]

I'd hope they at least release a patch for parts of the game.
From what i've seen parts of the game are extremely glitchy.

I hope so, cos I've also seen that list and those characters would be awesome to play as, regardless if they are clones. Let's just hope they weren't scrapped characters left on the disc.

im happy with smash bros flash on my p.c

I never got Melee... <_<
I'm only familiar with the original N64 version.

I'm thinking of renting Melee before Brawl comes out, or maybe play the Japanese version at my cousin's house or something.

My possible lineup:
Link, Kirby, Fox, Wolf, Sonic, Sheik, Zero Suit Samus

I was gonna have Lucario and Ganon in there but I heard they sucked.

Eh? I've sunk at least 72 hours in to the game and haven't found a single bug. Also, an interview on IGN confirms there will be no DLC.

They are slower characters if that is what you mean, but they hardly suck. Brawl is very well balanced.
